I updated the wiki with some of my finding regarding portrait mode. please feel free to add, change, update as needed.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

How do you get 9 desktops running i have downloaded the latest CSSU, 12, but I can still only select 4 desktops from the Destop menu/manage views, do I still need to "tweak" something or should it just appear now as an option?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

HAM, menu, settings do rotate. Mail and conversations don't...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Rotation bug fixed in version 12.1 which is now in the repository.

To get 9 views, scroll horizontally and select the desktops you want, they're black since there's no background set to them.

You need to enable forced rotation in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini (set 0 to 1) to force rotation of all applications (conversations included).

A future update will include portrait support in modest.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Guys,

Updates keep getting better and better! I still seem to be one of the few who has had little issue, and catorise and portrait mode work a treat (a year and a half waiting for nokia to do it so it was quite a thrill to see it happen after update). Only noticed a few other places where automatic rotation happens such as settings so will need to play around a bit more or read changelog but I just wanted to thank those of you who are working on developing this. It appears to be a very thankless task judging by a lot of the posts in here but I definetely appreciate it and salute you all. Keep up the good work dudes!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Great work, absolutely thrilled to see this community effort.

I won't install yet as i have a broken USB slot so can't reflash if necessary - once it's fixed i'll take the plunge.

One question though, the main thing that will make me install this is the portrait mode, so how do i "enable forced rotation in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini (set 0 to 1) to force rotation of all applications (conversations included)" ?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I have no option to scroll horizontally on the menu headed "Activate views"? Just the usual 4 desktops with "ticks" on them

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just edit the file with your favourite editor, and change the value of forcerotation from 0 to 1, have a look at the file:
http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/h...ns.ini#line199

Which version are you on? Version 12+ should have the 9 desktops:

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

what about [thp_tweaks]
# Blurless desaturation (0 = default, 1 = MeeGo/Symbian-style)
blurless = 1
what is its function?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just installed the latest update this evening which appears to be 12, it seemed to install ok but I don't have the scroll bar on my phone!!!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

works like a charme thanks to the cssu team!!
where to donate for this wonderful updates??

cheers

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I guess I am a little confused - but in the latest build should apps such as conversations auto rotate based on the orientation of the phone.

IE I turn portrait app switches portrait and vice versa

For me it only seems to go portrait when I launch in portrait and landscape when I slide out keyboard.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

The *latest* binary packages fix the issue with keyboard rotational triggering.

Update your catalog and fetch or manually install http://repository.maemo.org/communit...42-9_armel.deb and restart the hildon-desktop process

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Looks like it took a reboot in my case. Now its working a charm. Thanks for the info.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

@MohammadAG;

I can confirm issue with 9 view desktops panning not being "available" in hildon-desktop. Is this set through gconf now or maybe accidentally disabled in hildon-home?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Will doing forced rotate on all apps also switch the virtual keyboard?

And any comments on rotating homescreens? Not whether it will be done, but how it renders the portrait screens

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Thats so strange. I had previously enabled 9 desktops and was able to see them in the views slider. When I disabled them as a test and went back into the slider again only 4 presented as an option.

Not sure what that means

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Please raise an enhancement request pointing to the appropriate resources, packages etc.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Can you quickly try this deb and see if it works? You need to reboot or killall hildon-home (mind you, doing this a lot might reset widgets to the "safe" list).
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hildon-...71-5_armel.deb

If it works I'll push the fix.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

out of curiosity I tried the above. I disabled the five new desktops.
then I enabled them again. works nicely here. I was not using the 9 desktops mod before it came with the cssu update if this makes any difference.

update. checked and my hildon-home was already 0.3.71-5

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yes it works. Merge commit, merge commit! :P

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

MohammedAG not sure whether i was meant to try it as well but it also worked for me, you are a STAR!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

With Catorise installed rotation will go back to main menu with all categories instead of staying inside the chosen category.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

they'll stay in there categorise and still rotate

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Unfortunately not on my N900 with 20.2010.36-2maemo12.1

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

email and conversations not rotating for me. Maybe fastsms vert. keyboard is messing it up?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I think not, but I've had your same problem before upgrading to 12.1

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

No, I've said it many times, edit /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini and change forcerotation = 0 to 1.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

that's odd. I had catorise installed the update and there all inside there catogories and they rotate fine.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Even after you have chosen a specific category? If I rotate after having chosen a category, is goes to the main windows with all the categories.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

didnt work for me.

i got error..


also, after doing the update to 12...(not 12.1)

my calendar self deleted all my data and calendars.

is there a way to fix this or look as to why it purged all my calendars and data?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

:/ :(

i did this and it still doesnt rotate! lmao.

its like kids...god makes your kids cute so you dont squish em' sometimes.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

SLIDE THE KEYBOARD AND THEN CLOSE IT BACK. IT WILL ROTATE THE MOMENT YOU CLOSING YOUR KEYBOARD.

Rotation is not automatically, it's a forcerotation. If you slide the keyboard out again it will stopped rotate, to rotate again just slide your keyboard out and close it back in.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Dont know if its possible to implement.
But would it not be nice to Tab with doubletapping Sym/Ctrl on hardwarekeyboard?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Try this in xterminal:

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

@MohammadAG:
Sorry if someone other already asked for this...Is there a "code-way" to know if an user enabled forced-autorotation or not?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

`cat /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini | grep force | awk '{print $3}'`

:p :p :p

I'm sure it's poll-able though. Ignore me.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

AH HA!! that did it.

i used this but instead of "default" did "my theme name"

worked like a charm.

didnt know there would be different transistions.ini files for themes.

good to know.

thank you.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

My problem is related to custom themes that may uses custom transitions.ini files...but perhaps forcerotation can be defined only in that file :)

EDIT:read the post before mine to understand what I mean :)
