That's not a reversion! Forced rotation is a hack. An interesting one, but a hack nonetheless. There's no way a blacklist can cover all the options, all the apps in Ovi, all the apps a user might have internally. A whitelist is the only safe option.
And what about user-managable blacklist, why it is not a safe option. Whitelisting applications would not 'remind' developers to include portrait mode support in new versions of their apps, while if they run their own application and see that it is looking ugly in portrait may lead them to desicion to include portrait support. And for the others - user can always blacklist application.

A whitelist is the only safe option for the CSSU to ship as default. I've explained why above. Having a blacklist for users who choose to enable forced rotation is perfectly sensible, however.

Patches welcome to make forced rotation support a blacklist. However, your "remind developers to include portrait mode" also equates to "give users a broken experience in the mean time".

The CSSU will, out of the box, provide an improved experience. Not a retrograde one. If it includes experimental options, they will be enablable by users willing to risk it and suffer the side-effects.

Can you tell me where to find the Open Media Player?

Of course, I cannot be sure that it is the CSSU upgrade that did it. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

This is something to do with the configuration of your Bluetooth settings..... I read a post about it yesterday but can't for the life of me recall the fix - I'll search and come back to you

EDIT
Go Settings > Bluetooth > change device name to whatever you like, should clear up the issue. Its the configuration of the Bluetooth chipset that causes the issue.

Does this some how prevent theme-customiser from taking affect?

After installing the CSSU, settings regarding transparency (haven't tried any others) do not take affect.

Is there any work in progress to improve any of the other default applications?

I've started dabbling a bit with the RSS reader. Nothing to try yet.

I "announced" the mediaplayer here: http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/?p=26

It's still work in progress, I have to admit, the release date wasn't set by me and I expected us to miss it back in December, yet still published it as end of January.
The project however, is NOT dead.

If you can help with MafwPlaylist, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to nicolai for MafwRenderer and MafwSource C++ wrappers, without them, this would be useless.

Fair enough, my bad, misunderstood your previos postings as if forced portrait mode will be removed at all. Agree that above is the best solution.
