Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

MINKIN2 , so did it work ?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Thanks for that mate :) I have always wondered what that box was for? It now works fine but It should really be re-drawn as it should tell you what it does (bookmarks/full screen) but that is for another thread :P

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

lol
that's what the result of my curiosity :p
keep on clicking and all of a sudden it happen :P


p.s i hope future of this portrait hildon desktop will have every thing missing :P

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Wow this is amazing, just sorted layout in portait. it's spot on :-D

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

and i was waiting to see your comment :P
saw you visiting both threads :P

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

lol it's awesome just what the n900 needed :-D

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Hmmm, I seem to have lost the functions of the load-applet (cpu/mem/screenshot) and camera reminder in the status bar. Now I do remember a menu to set these to show but I cannot for the life of me how to get to this?

Edit: Fixed this now, I went back into HAM and manually installed the standalone cpu/mem applet and maemo load applet. Camera lense reminder came back on it's own?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Not really a bug but after installing this, the "User Guide" magically reappears in my apps menu. I removed it before from /usr/share/applications/hildon...

Also, I noticed that the phone lock number pad is also rotated now (awesome :D ), but it could be resized to fit more properly on the right border.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

found another problem .
just installed awoken theme and tried the lock screen .
and it was all messed up in portrait mode :$

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Just noticed something this morning and wondered if anyone else had the same:

When Hildon-Desktop is in landscape mode all my shortcuts open fine.

But when I have HD in portrait mode some shortcuts do not open the app - initial screen comes up but it then goes back to desktop and app never actually opens. It seems related to Qt/QML apps at the moment (funny as those are the apps that DO support portrait mode themselves) while native N900 apps (like MicroB, dialler, email) open fine (after automatically reverting back to landscape when they open).

Some of the apps I've had a problem when opening in portrait mode:
- TwimGo
- Cute-Tube
- Kasvopus
- Sociality
- Khweeteur
- MIR Translator
- Instinctiv
- FastSMS

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

ikirk

Just tried to open both sociality and cute-tubeqml and it both opens normally in portrait

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

I only have Sociality from that list but it opens fine for me in Portrait.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

p.s again found the reason of messed up lock screen .
the sliders having border will be messed up in portrait mode , so either choose a theme whose lock screen has no border around the slider or edit the images to remove the border and your portrait lock screen will look accurate again .

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Looks like you haven't installed CSSU?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Aha - you are correct, I havent got CSSU installed. I was waiting a bit longer to do it, was just trying your HD changes as a one off - which are still fantastic BTW (thanks). So this issue is probably my own fault. :o

Just out of curiosity, what am I missing from CSSU updates that could cause this?

Cheers.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

I think I have encountered the phone issue but it is not a major one. When ending a call, I take the phone from my ear and the screen is blank. The proximity sensor realises it is not next to my ear anymore and displays the screen - but the screen shown is the desktop and not the phone program. It takes another second or two to switch to the phone before I can press END, and sometimes it rotates as I go to press it so I end up having to press it again for it to register.

Annoying, but not the end of the world. Does this agree with other people's findings?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

just hung up a call .
not the same issue i have faced .
it was a normal call .
but one thingy was different , as the last time i locked my screen it was portrait and as before seeing an incoming call the screen lits for a sec or so i noticed that it rotate to landscape mode first and then showed the incoming call.
like it took 3 seconds to show me an incoming call

but still as JohnLF mentioned , not the then end of the world ....

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

@ JohnLF are you running something on the background ?
which might cause the delay ?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

isn't it possible to lock the orentation? through the actual lock button tbh? Since I use the double tap of power to unlock the phone, so the phone lock would switch between portrait or landscape.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

i tried to lock with orientation lock , but it didn't .
it rotated back to landscape

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

i got a major problem (a bug) just now....my HD just wont rotate anymore....
ok let me start from beginning....i open x-term then i...

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

i upgrade HD as suggested...exit x-term then test HD it works fine....reboot my device just to make sure...still works....a few hour after that i use Optimize N900 to refresh all...after that my HD didn't rotate anymore...

i have try turn off/on no luck....
i have try tunning the CSSU tuner (disable/enable force rotate) but no luck...
i have try reinstall HD still it wont rotate anymore....my apps does rotate but my HD wont....

please help.....

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

i found a new bug. when i lock my screen in landscape mode then open browser and then when to move my phone to portrait mode it hides the address bar and is shown same as it was in portrait mode but it is in landscape mode. please help.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Can you recreate this and post a screen shot please?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

If I’m inside a folder (created with ApMeFo) and rotate phone, desktop is rotating but is getting back to main menu.
Some apps crash if launch from portrait (CloudGPS, Neverball, Neverputt, Inner Spin)

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

try re-installing the deb because i think you've updated it with the normal non turning desktop.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

nice point shared , now it will be easy for the OP to work on these bugs .

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

some member update the HD after installing HPD the rotation works fine & so do i...i reboot,turn off & turn on couple of time after updating still desktop rotation works fine....
as i said my problem came up after i use Optimize N900...now my HPD wont rotate anymore...i have try reinstalling normal HD with killall hildon-desktop command in x-term then install back HPD + updating but still it wont rotate...
my best solution right now is install HPD without updating the HD...

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

The latest build solves half of the problem I first reported in the original thread, with hildon-desktop.

Now:

1.When first rotating, locations of icons and widgets is messed up. Fix this.
2. All icons and widgets remember their place.
3. When rotating, all icons and widgets are in place, *except* hildon-desktop, which does not remember its location after reach rotation.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

I'm happy with the latest version :) My issues are now eliminated

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Confirmed.

ten chars

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

If I remember correctly it's an old bug/feature of applications launcher. But yes, there's a need for a proper solution :).

You're right. It was not introduced by portrait hildon-desktop. Please raise a bug for CSSU.

I'm pretty sure it's Microb fault as it's directly listening to mce for orientation changes.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

There's available updated h-d pacakge: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74980
Could you check, if you're still hitting this issue?

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Thanks for the new version. As said before, could you remove the restoration of the "User Guide" in the app menu? It keeps coming back when I install this package.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Thanks for update . all problems in previous version are solved but i can see a bug: when i change wallpaper or add new desktop it shows the wallpaper wrong (portrait wallpaper in landscape mode and landscape wallpaper in portrait mode ) but it becomes currect by restart or killall .

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

I'm afraid there's nothing i can do. User Guide is integral part of the hildon-desktop package.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Oh, ok, no problem. I thought it could be done :).

About the name of application in app menu, if it's long, is there a way to display the whole thing in portrait mode? If you notice, put the phone in portrait mode, go to app menu and observe the app name, as soon as you rotate, the whole name displays briefly and then it's truncated again in landscape mode. I guess it's not HD related but if you could notice the guy in the CSSU team it would be great :).

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Hi arcean! I think I found a bug. Modifying /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/ui_can_rotate to false/0 will disable all rotations while on the cssu hildon-desktop setting it to false/0 should only disable "force" rotation on menu & phone app.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Which I suspect is the reason for microb behaviour. It was my understanding too that "lock applet" should alter rotation behaviour only of hd home, tasknav and app launcher, leaving up to applications to decide whether they should rotate or not. Anyway great work till now.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

Bug: Tor applet menu in portrait desktop.

Re: Hildon Portrait issues thread
 

only thing i have found the re arranging apps from a potrait deskop.

HD_launcher editor. kinda messy.

wish we could scrolls app horizontal being able to choose its only for the desktop or also apps?
