Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
I tried to have an app in portrait (SeriesFinale) then used the long-press in Shortcutd to launch Phone, which is also set to always-portrait. It swapped to landscape, shown me the wait-a-second- thing, then flipped back.

This happens with everything I tested. Not one can stay in portrait. OTOH, I think that starting an app switches windows, which probably passes through exposee or desktop momentarily, which are landscape - maybe that's why.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
It's hard coded to START in landscape mode and then roll portrait if told to.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
hi,

first of all, AMAZING WORK! im loving the main menu in portrait mode :D

is there anyway we can set the default style of all application to portrait? some of the applications are taking long to open up just because the application is switching from landscape to portrait (which takes time)
If this is possible then i believe maemo will become a bit more fluent and snappier.

so any ideas how it can be done?

-petrovich doesnt even open.
Petrovich is deprecated. The functionality is embedded in File Manager since PR 1.2 or so. 1.1?

small problem the lock screen rotates but the border is out of place. is there anyway to change it?

Dark_Angel85 2011-02-24 01:15

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
I think now... the best would be to have the task switcher to be in portrait

You need to change some stuff in the file transitions.ini

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
Great work! Thanks to all developers.

I do not know if this can considered a bug:

- While in landscape, I touch the menu, and then I go to a category, let's say, games.
- If I rotate the phone to portrait, instead of keeping the game category, menu goes back to main menu.

The same behaviour happens in the opposite way: if I open a category in portrait mode, if I turn the phone to landscape, I shows again the main menu.

(I use catorise)

lsolano 2011-02-24 02:56

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
Is there a plan to implement a "portrait dashboard"?

Let's say there are 3 apps running, phone in portrait mode.

Every time I want to see the dashboard, the app currently running first rotates to landscape mode, and then, the dashboard is shown.

When another app is selected, this app first fill the screen in landscape mode, and then, it rotates to portrait mode.

It would be great to avoid those rotation when going to / coming from the dashboard while in portrait mode.

this is a repost, i got send here, hope it helps, this is just what i was able to test.

thanks for the update.

I have added some of those to the wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/.../Portrait_mode). Please edit it and add the rest there with your comments.

I have also added a column for whether the apps support rotation or are forced.

when i install cssu its no problem at all and this is not the first time i install this the only problem is the last update 12.1 the one before that work just fine for me, so heres the culprit when i turn on forced auto rotation = 1 it will get stuck into a reboot loop...

to explain this carefully it will turn on and load your desktops blinks like 4x but all shortcuts and widgets are messed up on 1 window the only way to stop it dying from reboot loop is if i put it on usb mass storage but when you do that you cant tap anything and freezes.

Developers can use a newer gcc right now can't they ?
Additional updated glibc libraries can be bundled with the app or made available as separate packages in parallel with the 'main' ones, as required.

This is common-ish on desktop Linux.

That's a corrupted repository file. Disable the "Nokia Applications" repository, exit App Manager, then go back in & re-enable it. That'll force a redownload of all the repository data and should fix the issue.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
Hi,

After following this thread for weeks I decided to install the CSSU. It worked perfectly without any problems. I like the possibilities with it, especially the force auto rotation and z rotation.

But then I went on. I modified my transisitions with meamodder and then the z-rotation was gone. How can I get i back?

I believe this has been asked before but I cannot find it anymore. Thanks in advance.

Now the force auto rotation is also gone. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

sygys 2011-02-24 09:47

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
Modest is still very unstable. just had a major freeze when pressing the reply button. CPU jumped to 100% use and the memory started filling up to 100% then the screen freezed and the touchscreen vibra had a delay of 10 seconds. i was not able to shut down the n900 properly and had to take the battery out.

Second of all i had an idea, when the homescreen portrait mode is comming (i really hope it will) then there is a problem with the widgets that have to rotate and become off screen.

I had the idea to make 2 sets of homescreens portrait and landscape wich can be both edited when in that mode. and are loaded on demand. this way you can remove big widgets in portrait or make them smaller.

to the SSU guys,

is it possible for us to have the email widget with notification working with nokia messenger client, when there are several accounts, and if you are taking into account to deal with this, can you make an option for resizable email widget, and in portrait mode?
is it to much?

thanks in advance!

When the screen's locked or unlocked? The clock shows up on the lock screen fine here (just finished reflashing, installing CSSU and reinstalling all packages).

It seems to work when you lock the screen from the side button instead of the menu.

@MohammadAG

can you fix the hardware sync issue when WSEGL_useHWsync is changed to 1 at /etc/powervr.d/hildon-dekstop.ini? the one that freezes the phone because of mishandled popup menus or something.. or is it closed source? auto-rotation is very much smoother with that setting enabled.. Great work by the way.. you rock CSSU team.. :)

This would be the sensible way of doing it - the first time you rotate it has all your widgets there in odd places then once you've placed them, it remembers. I also thought this.

I was also thinking that to maintain multi-desktop background integrity, why not just have the home screen scroll vertically? That way when you rotate all you'd need is to:

  • Move status bar to the top
  • Put widgets in their (user-defined) portrait mode positions and rotate them 90 degrees about the z axis

Just a thought. Sorry if someone's already said this, the forums are large and this thread is long.

I should add to this, because this confused me for a bit:

If you use maemodder to change your transitions.ini (as in you always overwrite the one in /usr/share/hildon-desktop) when you update, the relevant section in the .ini will not exist. So I think anywhere that tells people to do this should really say:

"Put these lines in transitions.ini underneath the [thp_tweaks] section which should be at the bottom of the file. If it is not, then add it."

Code:

[thp_tweaks]
zaxisrotation = 1
forcerotation = 1



The forcerotation option is great for some apps - for example I wish the messaging app autorotated by default as I'm happy with its current vertical state (though obviously still needs work). For others, such as media player, it is a bit annoying, especially if you're lying on your side going through the list as it doesn't work well at all in portrait mode.

EDIT: Sorry for double post, but each post was about entirely different things

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
I can confirm the funny thing with the 9 desktops happened with me too. I'm not bothered as I just want 4 at the moment. Not got catorize installed. The option was there after installing the latest update and now, after another reboot it is not there. As I say-doesn't bother me if it is there or not, but just reporting that it happened.

One other thing I have noticed since updating is when connecting to wifi or 3g internet it seems to take longer and sometimes requires a 2nd or 3rd go. Once it just kept flashing the little wifi symbol for ages like it was stuckin some kind of loop. Internet was working, so it must have been connected.Disconnected then tried to connect again and it just flashed for ages without connecting. A reboot fixed this. Just now it took 4 attemps to connect to a full 3g signal. It will say it is connected but wont load any pahes. If this has happened in the past a disconnect and reconnect will fix it straight away, but took 4 times on this occasion. working fine now though.

Just posting my observations. please do not take this as criticism. I'm very impressed by the whole thing so far. Thank you.

Both my and my friend's phone do this randomly ever since PR 1.2 at least. IMO, not a CSSU issue. Battery pull FTW.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 
Okay I experienced this today:

After I installed the CSSU I started with tweaking the transtitions. I used meamodder and theme customizer. After I used those programs I had lost the zaxisrotation and forcerotation. So I started to add the next rules at the end of the transitions.ini:

zaxisrotation = 1
forcerotation = 1

I did this within the next files:

/opt/theme-customizer/transitions.ini
/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
/etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini

Whithin that order. With every change I first tried killall hildon-desktop and noticed that, that didn't work and then rebooted the phone. After I did all this I opened all these transitions.ini one at a time and saved them again and did every time a killall hildon-desktop. The last thing I did was adding those lines to a blank transitions.ini that I found in /etc/hildon/theme/ and did a killall hildon-desktop command. This resulted in a reboot loop. I am not sure whether you guys can do something with this feedback, but I was just sharing my experience. Before I started messing around with meamodder and theme customizer the CSSU version of Maemo was grate! I am going to reflash now and install the CSSU again I think but then without using meamodder for the transitions and theme customizer because there is still some work in there.

Make sure (as per my earlier post) that they are in the [thp_tweaks] section of the transitions.ini which will not exist in MaeModder transitions.ini files. So the bottom of your file should read:

Code:

[thp_tweaks]
zaxisrotation = 1
forcerotation = 1


I have added this to the wiki.

Just edit whichever transitions file you use in /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/[name of transition]/transitions.ini using vi (or whichever text editor you prefer). You can't access that directory via mass storage, no, but if you REALLY need to modify it on your pc:

Code:

cp -p /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/plastic/transitions.ini /home/user/MyDocs/transitionstemp.ini

Connect to your pc, edit transitionsTemp.ini. Disconnect from your pc then

cp -p /home/user/MyDocs/transitionstemp.ini /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/plastic/transitions.ini

Really though, you may as well just do it on your phone with LeafPad (or vi if you're comfortable with it)
