Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

just downloaded the latest CSSU and woW!!!! talk about major fixes to all the forced rotation issues i had just a day before~

now THAT'S called progress

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

yeah that happens to me. but i live with it. i thought you meant all the applications move out of there place

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I've found a pair of bug:
-Conversation: open a conversation in landscape than rotate in portait. last displayed message is not the last one (you need to scroll to reach the bottom)
-PDF Reader: In portait, while in fullscreen, button to close fullscreen doesn't works.

I will raise these in bugzilla if other people experienced these problems.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

luv u guys, portrait already updated from yesterday, now works even better!!

just need fastsms vkb to work in portrait now!! :D

edit: after reboot it works!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

while at the home desktop screens,

clicking on the power button for the drop-down menu doesn't go portrait... the status menu however orientates to portrait well.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

also is someone working on a portrait task switcher?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

fastsmsevo vkb works fine... realsportscar already provided an update for that

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

yes reboot fixed it for me! nice, video coming soon!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

dude.... for the past few hours... I've actually been able to use my phone almost entirely on portrait (basically on conversations, web, abiword for now)

ahhaaahha... just had to let it out..

BRAVO CSSU TEAM!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I updated, the rotation still doesn't work with conversions and contacts, but it works with cute tube, and when my balance is displayed it will rotate. But now the blurless saturation has stopped working and yes I have checked the settings, rebooted and check they've saved. I'll just wait till the next update.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

It's really too bad it didn't work for you... the latest patch IS sorta the one I was waiting for.. fixed everything including things like the unlock screen...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

This is a dream which came true by the community .!!! Portrait for N900!!!! which NOKIA cannot provide us for 2 years ....

Kudos all who made this happen and spl thanks MAG.

This community ROCKS !!!!!! REALLY !!!!!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

hmmm... realised that the live wallpaper does have some issues with the rotation eh....

doesn't consume more power with that wallpaper?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

battery-eye shows significant drop in the battery levels even when it's idle...

hmmm... probably because of the unlock screen being rotated while the phone is in the pocket?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Still catching up on the shitloads of posts here, BUT: There is absolutely no need to do this. The Ctrl/Sym key already works as a Ctrl/Sym key, and I think it's just find doing what it's doing. Making double press of anything = something else means implementing a bunch of checks to make sure you don't accidentally make two quick Ctrl+key combos register as a "Tab", or whatever. Like, "Ctrl+V" twice in a row getting registered as both two "pastes" and one "tab". There are plenty of keys you can remap, without the CSSU, to function as Tab, by editing the file at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51.

See the wiki page on remapping the keyboard itself. I've been using FN+Enter as tab for ... like 6 months, and it works just fine. (Standard editing system files warnings apply, though if you follow the wiki directions it'll be fine.)

- Edit -

/etc/hildon/theme/ always symlinks to the currently used theme, so you can use /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini first - so check if that file exists, then if it does, use:
`cat /etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini | grep force | awk '{print $3}'`
and if not, use:
`cat /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini | grep force | awk '{print $3}'`

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Thanks for Everything..And yes..the 9 screens dont work even after updating it to the latest build..Kudos to the community..Loving it here...Nokia can ***..We have our community for us..Thanks again.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

To The CSSU TEAM: Thank you so much, this is the christmas gift I never received :D. If there are any monetary needs I am willing to donate to future efforts as are many others I'm sure. Thanks once more.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Now that looks promising. This is breathing more life into the N900. I'm down to donate some of the money I had saved up for the N9 to supporting this project.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

after update i install fastsms evo and then uninestall it but tracker indexer eat my cpu and drain battery :(

why ? :(:confused:

reboot

but no change :(

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i installed via http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU
using the phones browser....i got the enabler and followed the prompts
phone rebooted...however im still seeing nokia's version 20.x.xx.x and not
the community version 3.x.xx.x when i go to settings>about....is this normal to see or should i see v3.x.xx.x? (ps potriat in apps and desktop are working...)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yes this is normal. There's a special widget in the settings program now that tells you the 'real' CSSU version. The CSSU doesn't change the official PR1.3 version string, because that would break Ovi Store compatibility.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

just i saw someone post a screenshot of their version and it was n900 v3.x.xx.x looking similar to what nokia does in settings>about

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Not sure if others have already reported this, but then when the conversations app is opened in portrait mode, the msg generally does not realign to the new mode. It remains as though it is still in landscape and needs horizontal scrolling to be done.

Not able to take a screenshot right away, but will give one as soon as i can.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i cant even get the conversations to go into potriat!! what version cssu are u using?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

yeah... in the conversations, the conversations don't align right... that has happened in previous MHDs....

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

To support viewing sms conversations in portrait mode without horizontal scrolling, I modified the MessagingWidgetsSMSConversation.css file. This is not complete but surely works.
I also modified the Chat conversation css for similar purposes.

These files go here: /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/

EDIT: Please consider taking backup of the files.
EDIT: Updated attachment to fix a issue.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Can u let us know what r to be modified and replaced

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

probably include this in a merge so that it can be in future cssu updates? better right?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I do not have a backup :), so I had download them from somewhere else to generate the patch files. I am attaching the patch files. Hope this helps.

The main concept here is giving the divs a table layout using the table and table-cell display properties.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

After last night update

trackerd and tracker-indexer eat my cpu

any help ?

restart many time but no change :( and cpu go 90% full !

help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just noticed that the New Message button on top in Email does not resize correctly in portrait mode whereas the New SMS and New IM buttons do in conversations app.

BTW, thanks to MAG and everyone behind this. This last update has really made a big difference.

Also, in conversations, the keyboard shows up in portrait mode, but is squished. Totally usuable though.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

the latest 12.1.
To get it rotating, make sure u r using the stock themes and have set forcerotation to 1 in the transitions.ini file! :)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Your kb meaning stock keyboard? cool... mind posting the screenshots? I've been using fastsmsevo every since

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

hhaHAHAHHA

ANGRY BIRDS IN PORTRAIT!!! DrNokSNES in portrait!! hahahhaa

works fine... it still manages to fill up the whole screen!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Forgot to answer this:
Actually, no, I don't take your posts to be personal attacks at all. But when I do argue about something I disagree with, I tend to be... how to put it... blunt? I don't let logic defer to politeness. Doesn't mean i feel any hostility towards you though. I'm perfectly fine with you as a person, and I see what your point is - I just disagree, and when I disagree on something I think is worth pointing out, I tend to respond thoroughly/persistently. On my end of things, I wish people did that more often. I enjoy that far more than I enjoy people avoiding debate for fear of making it feel like an argument, and then get their feelings hurt the moment it vaguely approaches actual debate territory.

Testing doesn't have to mean "in development" per se. But it means just that - testing. "Professional", near as I can tell, is a concept far more tied to more capitalism-tied, consumer/producer, customer/business, etc, model. Or rather, that is where I see the professionalism you're talking about, which is getting rid of unseemly bugs before release. The problem is that this mentality has no place in truly transparent, open development. If it did, then what's the point of a testing release at all? The whole point of a testing/beta/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is not releasing a "professional" prim-and-proper package, but on the contrary, letting the people who are willing to risk device damage/corruption/bricking experience the non-polished features as they roll out. The simple fact of the matter is that if this policy was actually adopted by the CSSU, you would have CSSU team doing all of the actual truly serious "testing", and we wouldn't have seen this rotation upgrade we just got, until, idk, days/weeks from now?

Beyond that, I don't see what's so bad about how they released forcedrotation. It did enable rotation in launcher, and z-axis rotation, in one swoop. It also enabled a not-fully-as-intended forced rotation, which still did loads for usability once you got the hang of it, and because they released it and people complained, the fix was committed within 24 hours - this is the kind of stuff that professional projects keep completely behind closed doors, and I would argue, do so much to their detriment.

As for the last bit, about managing software projects or whatever... *shrug*. I haven't ran any software project, and... what? Experience only matters so long as you are able to derive the right lessons/understanding/skills from it. People tend to forget all too often that experience is a source of wisdom/knowledge/understanding/skill, but it is not a sufficient condition for it. At the end of the day, if I disagree with your reasoning, it doesn't matter to me what experience you have - if your points have a logical backing that can withstand criticism from other logical parties, you'll be able to present them either way. Experience simply gives you more anecdotal evidence with which you can say why you believe a certain thing - not automatically grant right-ness.

In this case: Have you seen how happy people are with this auto-rotation release? The hell with it being slightly buggy or some apps being flawed - this forum literally noticeably had a small explosion in activity when this patch went live, and even more so with this bug-fix one that fixed the forced rotation into a true auto-rotation. I think if you polled this user-base, the great majority of all the people using the testing CSSU right now would've said 'yes, release it', slightly buggy or not. Because, well, what do you lose if it is released and you don't want it? You don't get forced to enable the new features, or use them, or even use the CSSU until it's released in a more refined bugless version. But the people who do want it can use it, and would ultimately be less happy (shallow happiness though it may be) if the release is postponed until all the Qt-relevant-portrait bugs are ironed out.

So that's my argument, at the end of the day - you don't lose anything by having the feature included in a not-refined form, when you're not being forced to use it, but you do make other people lose something if you insist on holding releases until refinement. There are situations where how professional a release is matters more than how happy it will make people, but I don't think that is the case here at all.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yup, could not use the kb to take screenshot as the onscreen kb would disappear so here is a pic taken using another 5800.Attachment 17912

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Works like a charm. Just a quick point to make, make sure a reboot is done so that the CSS files are picked! :)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Well, the stock kb works in portrait mode system-wide. Forgot to mention that you need to have forced rotation enabled. This is awesome!!

A little tough to get to the shift keys, but caps is good.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I don't think a reboot is required. Just close all the conversation windows, will pick up the updated file in few minutes.
