Tutorial: Screen Rotation on HTC Diamond, Touch HD using G-sen.

Most phones allow you to change the orientation of screen using a programmable HW button.

1. Goto Start > Settings > Buttons






2. Scroll through the menu on bottom of your screen and find "Rotate Screen" and select it.

3. You can then press this button while in Remote Touch to rotate the screen as necessary.



However, if you have a HTC Diamond or Touch HD and want to be able to rotate Remote Touch based on the phone's orientation, Remote Touch will work nicely with G-sen.

1. Download & Install the latest G-sen from

http://skkvsoftware.com/index.html?m_util.html

Gsen installs three files to your phone:
1.Gsen CFG -This is to personalize abilities of program and is for advanced users
2.Gsen - This is the main program. If you click on the icon it will ask if you if you want to unload it. Don't unload program as this cease it to function until reloaded.
3.Gsen Toggle - This is the most important icon you need to access. Assign this to a button on your phone for best results of program.

How do I assign Gsen Toggle to a phone button ?

1.Goto Start > Settings > Buttons

2. Select the button you wish to use or if only one button is available click on it.

3. Scroll through the menu on bottom of your screen and find Gsen Toggle and select it.

4.Test if it works by holding down the assigned button for up to two seconds to see if you can see the tiny white spec on the top of your phone screen.

5.If successful, rotate your phone to see if it rotates. Gsen will not rotate Touchflo 3d screen if you have an Htc phone. Whenever you open a new program and want to rotate your screen you will have to turn off Gsen Toggle and then turn it back on each time. This is a safety
measure so that you don't open something you accidentally didn't want rotated. To turn off Gsen Toggle simply hold down your assigned button and wait for tiny white spec to disappear.
