Tilt sensor software: GSEN for Windows Mobile released
July 11, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Updated: video review of this program addded!

Previously we were reporting about SDK for tilt sensor of HTC Touch Diamond and now already first 3rd party application is available - GSEN (like "G" sensor)!

GSEN runs in background (something that iPhone applications can't do) and rotates the display automatically for all applications, not just for Opera. While we wish that this application could also do automatic scrolling upon tilting, already in this version with automatic rotation change this application is interesting (here: a video review of this application, note: the orientation switching timeout can be configured):

Description of the application follows.

* * * * *

1. Description

Auto-rotate screen on SOME devices with g-sensor.

Install GSen and run it.

If you run it again, program will ask you "Unload program?". If you answer yes - program will be unloaded.

This also possible without question with parameter #unload.

You can use configuration shortcut for edit configuration file. This file can include this command:

#window(text or class name) - add window description

#timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms

#onlyfor(0|1) - if 0 auto rotate work for all programs except defined by #window, otherwise ONLY for this program. By default program not rotate screen if Manila or Teeter is foreground application, but you can edit this list.

#fdscreenoff(0|1|2) - if 1, program will switch off screen if you put device with screen on bottom, if 2 device will suspend.

#lockscreen(0|1) - if not present = 1, can prevent, if enabled, rotation with locked device

Commandline parameters:

#load - load app, if loaded already - exit without questions

#unload - unload app

#toggle - if loaded will unload, otherwise will load, usable with one shortcut

#about - show about window if you start without parameters - program will ask "Unload?" if already exist one instance, or simple run if not exist.

NOTE: some programs, like Teeter game, cannot start in landscape mode, so switch to standard display orientation before.
