Zensor...better screen rotation management?

**syrguy1969** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2009, 11:16 AM

Just ran across this over at Modeco. I haven't used it yet, but I figured it was worth a post over here (maybe a couple chefs may give it a look for their ROMS?)

This is description from the website:

"Zensor 2 is an application for automatically rotating your screen using HTC Touch Pro / HTC Touch Diamond's GSensor.

Unlike most other applications, Zensor is written to only detect firm moves, skipping moves done by your mobile moving
in your pocket or when walking.

In order to change orientation, first make sure you keep your HTC phone in a horizontal position (face up) and firmly
move it to either landscape or portrait mode, to force a change.

In order to make Zensor learn a new application (and whether to rotate it or not), simply move the device firmly from
a face up position to an upside down position.

This application is free. "

It has teach mode so you can teach it in which apps to rotate, and which not to rotate. Excellent!!!

Found here: http://www.endorser.org/wm/zensor

Thanks go to a.s.t.e.k. for posting it at Modeco: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&s...post&p=1062835

Sounds like it's more user friendly than RotationService (It took me some time to figure out how to edit the xml)

The 'learning' mode looks pretty simple to use, I will be trying it out later (after work) and post any results I find.

Does it work with our phones? Not sure if it used the Samsung SDK or not.

Well, I have them in my ROM and I don't see any affect to the way it rotates.

I just installed it and it isn't running, so I guess we do need the HTC .dll's. I know I saw them somewhere for another app (a game I think). I'll see if I can find them again (I could have sworn they were cooked into a ROM or two I saw in here).

They are in mine. Still not working.

Yea the HTC dlls let you use apps that were written to use the HTC g-sensor. The auto-rotation of the omnia does not, as BW pionted out.
