How To: Disable G-sensor (In Opera) While Keyboard Is Out...

I was reading through a thread a while back and saw that some people were asking how to disable the G-sensor in Opera while the keyboard is out, that way it won't switch on you if you are laying on your Side surfing the web with your keyboard out....

Well I went through my registry and found the setting, but I never posted it. So I figured better late than never

Anywho, just go to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor select "KBDSlideOut_To_Stop_GSensor"

And change it from 0 to 1.

Note: This may already be enabled on some Roms, but I am using Mighty Rom 4.12 and it is not...

If there is a need for a cab, just let me know


For those of you who use UC, just use this in your XML

<!-- *** G-sensor off in opera while kybrd out *** -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="KBDSlideOut_To_Stop_GSensor" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

Edit:

How To: Disable G-sensor In Opera Altogether...

HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime

And change it to 10000...(a high number)

For those of you who use UC, just use this in your XML

<!-- *** G-sensor off in opera *** -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="IdleTime" datatype="integer" value="10000"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

Is there a way to disable Gsensor for Opera in general? I would like it to only rotate if the keyboard is out. I rarely go into landscape, at least on purpose. I hate waiting for it to rotate back just because I accidentally tilted it a little.

Hmmm...I will look into it and see if I can find anything, You can turn the G-sensor completely off, but you wouldn't want to do that....

Maybe someone else can chime in here....

So...Does anyone know how turn off the G-sensor off, in Opera only?

I looked(not real hard), but i didn't find anything in the obvious places...

Will this fix the issue of having Opera go back to portrait mode, once Im doing typing something on the keybaord and sliding the keybaord back in the device?

You can disable the rotation in Opera Mobile by setting HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime to a large number. I believe it is in miliseconds.

So when im looking at the registry, what do I want the data to say? Right now, its showing "c8" Should I change the 8 to more like 8000 or something? Sorry, I appreciate the help but I just dont know much about editing the registry

Dang, that was the first thing I tried and it didn't work, I must not have saved it right.....Worked fine this time, I'll add it to the first post
