The portrait mode, is the orientation for us to choose? Like, I would like the top side of the portrait be the side with the buttons (or rotateclockwise).

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

Technically, at least, that would be a free choice; I see no reason why INdT would try to limit it.

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

Yeah, you can do that, I just chosed one to demonstrate :) it doesnt matter for canola :)

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

@benson : yeah, not at all, this is up to the user :) as I said, we have plans to make sure things rotate automatically when needed (video etc) and if the user needs to rotate on maemo, they can use the plugin,.

We are just out of time to focus on that, but once we reach the point that we've planned for canola2 (3 or 4 weeks maximum) we can take a look and do the theme / modifications at least as experiments, and if users want to go there and flash the kernel to try out :)

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

I know, i figured I would just check. Some softwares have a switch to portrait where they choose the orientation for you.

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

I would definitely use a feature like this. Please release! :)

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

Hi Languid : is not about releasing (as you can do it with the instructions posted) but the question of : you need to flash your kernel, use a patch in xomap etc, things that we (canola) cannot do for you :/


Marcelo

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

So if we do flash the kernal and patch it, what are you guys doing in Canola? Are you redesigning it so it'll be cleaning in portrait mode?

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

cLin : I think you didn't read the things :)
We (INDT) did the patch for the kernel, and added it to the official projects, etc... then canola was since the beginning made with the possibility, so that's the good part, we don't need to do anything (at least in the basic of course there's a lot of work) to thing just "fit" to the screen :)

The thing was that people were talking that they would like to see canola on portrait mode, so other team here made it, we tested it and showed to people can see how it looks like, but it's not fully usable still, needs some tweaking (but the basic can be achieved with quite small work just on the theme)

I would love Canola in portrait mode. As many others have said, this change would force me to mount the N810 in the car. I just couldn't help my self. Goodbye iPod. ;)

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

Do I read that rightly, that you mean the kernel patch has been submitted to the right places that we might expect to see it appear in an official Nokia kernel at some point? That would be very nice!

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

gtallan : yes, the work is fully done in the official trees :) if nokia updates it gets the patches :)

Yes we indeed would really like to see it happening, then we would for sure officially release a "turnable" version of canola :)


xdanmeyex: thanks for this feedback :) it seems that you guys (car users) really like this orientation right ?

Thanks

Marcelo

Re: Canola2 on Portrait Mode
 

Yes! This is great, especially if it turns up in a Nokia kernel update.
