At first NM was broken no longer syncing. Remove and reinstall fixed that, but notification doesn't work now...

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
I get an exit status 2 error, it says its not a debian package? The portrait settings mod i was able to install!

And could you make the lockscreen where you type in your key when device is secured rotate to portrait! That would be the best maemo modification ever!!

Thanks

@cpt.bert

Maybe because your output is pretty confusing

-You had error message but you managed to install mod. So where is the problem here?

-You requested something totally different than what this thread topic is about.

So where is the catch?

.edit
Okey. Are you trying to say that you are not able to install THIS package but something other you were able to install?

Sorry for the confusion. I wasnt able to install this mod because the error code 2 meant that the .deb file that i pulled in wasn't in a debian format, thats what xtrerm said. I just copied and pasted the code from the first post.

I was however able to install the modifaction to the settings application, wich was the same proces.

Thanks.

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
Is there any chance you made some typo in the deb file, or one got made due to some glitch? If you ls the directory you wget'd(/axel'd) it to, is the .deb file named correctly?

Anyway, I don't really know how to help here.

That said, I'm about to install it myself, so I'll let you know if anything happens on my end.

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
Okay, my result is this: dpkg -i --simulate modest(blahversion#s).deb resulted in error status too. Because I've sometimes gotten different results if I put the --simulate flag elsewhere, I did dpkg --simulate -i modest(version#s).deb, and got the same error status.

Went through with dpkg -i modest(blah#s).deb and it installed fine. Not sure what the issue was. Did you try to actually install, or did you try --no-act/--simulate/(that other one) first, and reported that error?

I just copied the text form the top textbox from the first textbox and it failed? is there an alternative way of installing?

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
(Just to report a bug - the account setup wizard doesn't scroll side to side for me. Of course, I have this issue in a bunch of other stock apps - one of the only reasons I got FApMan is for the portrait-mode use - HAM kept not letting me scroll sideways in the pop-up menus for install and download - in fact half the time it would kick you back to landscape and I had to turn it again. So I suspect this is a Modest problem, not a this-modification-of-modest problem)

Uhh.... Not sure what went wrong on your end, then, cpt.bert. Did you copy both commands in at once instead of the wget one first, then dpkg -i?

Are you running it as root?

Personally, I manually typed it out. Takes longer, but I feel like it works better. Anyway, when you run if from X-Term, go to whatever directory you wget'd it to (which will be the directory you were in when you ran wget, which is probably ~, or /home/user/ if you didn't intentionally cd elsewhere first), and run ls (as in LS - the listing stuff command). Is (as in IS, the word) there even a "modest_3.2.13-3+0m5_armel.deb" file in that folder? Also, are you sure you had good internet connectivity when you did it? Maybe the file got corrupted - perhaps delete the .deb and wget it again?

Broken nofitication issue is fixed after removing NM, reinstalling stock modest, adding NM, then reinstalling patched version again.

I can also confirm that emails are sent without attachment, sometimes without text. while using Mail for Exchange.

Also, this version seems to not know how to open image/jpeg, it says it has no handler configured.

Great work on this, let's hope we can improve it further. Thanks!

I use MfE for my work mail so I'm little less motivated to test.

Could you mention any advantages (and bugs) of using this version apart the portrait mode for MfE users as well as against which version of exchange you're testing?

Thanks

The application is snappier, it used to take a while to get to my inbox, now it's much faster when loading emails or a folder. Also search times seem to have improved. (I did install the swapolube, so that may have something to do with it).

I'll have to check which MfE version I'm using, will get back on that tomorrow.

Changing to sending text emails (as opposed to HTML ones) fixes the message problems.

I've also just noticed that when you go to edit the signature you have your old one erased and replaced with "Sent from my Nokia N900" standard, which is odd.

I'll keep it for now because of the access time to my inbox. Also, I prefer reading large bodies of text in portrait mode, which is a big plus.

I'd love to help out with the bugs but i'm no programmer. I will however happily test future versions of this application.

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
some problems i have:
1. i can't scroll emails horizontally. some emails have large images or long text that go out of the screen. scrolling doesn't seem to work both in portrait and landscape mode.
2. pressing CTRL+M to send emails doesn't work anymore. this was very handy for me.

I can confirm #1. I can confirm #2 in the sense that Ctr+M doesn't do anything; I had not used it before.

why is it when i click on to read a message, it goes back to landscape and i'd have to ctrl+shift R again?

also, is there a portrait qwerty keyboard?

I hate the Opera keyboard with a passion.

It is okay, and it's good enough because it's the only option available. That doesn't make it actually objectively good. It could be so, so much better.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mp-fremantle-generic-pr: Depends: modest (= 3.4.8+0m5) but 3.2.13-3+0m5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
(apt-get -f install wants to remove mp-fremantle-generic-pr)

just to be clear, this is what happens when i try to install anything, efter installing modest portrait.

Edit: downloaded the original modest package and reinstalled that. no problems any more...

How do i use this portrait moldest version with out my apt-get going down?

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
mp-fremantle-generic-pr is just a meta package which does not serve any purpose other than pulling
the needed packages for maemo 5. If that is done once it has finished its job. I suggest to let it go!

It never will happen that someone asks you for anything unless you are deciding to get actively involved. The 'community'-thingy is slightly misleading, as it is not everybody posting here, but a group of active people, that took the hard work of coding better applications for the N900 on their shoulders. But you or anyone willing, might help with writing code, documentation or translating stuff.

Re: [Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
Thank you M A-G for a fine piece of work.
  • I followed the instructions in the first post and everything went as expected.
  • I've used the portrait mode e-mail and can not imagine how I got along without it.
  • Text and attachments work fine using a SMTP server. I'm not important enough where I work for the Exchange account on the phone. I have to use the web client for Exchange.
  • Foward and Back as text labels works fine for me.
So far no unexpected behaviors in modest or anything else. Nice piece of work.

My only question is about updates to this. Do I need to check back here from time to time and pull down the update or is there a more automated push system for this?

for what i can make of it, it needs modest to be some other version?

if i change the modest it will remove this awesome portrait mode?

edit: same problem when trying to update FAM too, did apt-get install -f to update modest, and portrait still works :) and got to update erminig and FAM with no problems.

edit2: spoke too soon. portrait mode in email stopped working after updating modest with apt-get install -f.

any solution so i dont have to install modified modest every time i upgrade apps?

Could you tell me where you downloaded the original modest package? I tried finding it but I am not sure which one I need to have.

Code:

dpkg -i modest_3.2.13-3+0m5_armel.deb

modest is not integrated in the SSU nor in the MCSP, yet.

Works for me - either something along the network wasn't connecting, or you mis-typed it, or some other issue happened. I recommend trying again.

I upgraded modest using the information in the first post.

Now fapman is giving me the same error as above. I pinned the package as shown in the first post. What did I do wrong?
