Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Thank you for the quick responce but there is a problem. My phone is in a reboot loop now and the only way to stop it, is quickly put in mass storage mode and then the phone itself does not respond but I can assess the normal folders trough the pc.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i have this same issue but it doesn't bother me too much, i barely use the power button to unlock the phone

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

You could try using R&D mode to disable the reset. Once it starts up, you should then be able to use Ctrl+Shift+X to start an X terminal and edit the file(s).

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

the power unlock screen can now go vertically also this is causing trouble. I had a few times when screen was on but not showing anything and also got some messed up background with black parts. so this is definately not going right!

second of all the image viewer is going totally insane when rotating pictures now. (temp work around: open keyboard to stop the force rotation).

by the way i still have the bug that the reboot button is not working. phone reboots, vibrates, nokia logo is shown and then it shuts down... this must have something to do with the SSU. i havent installed anything else but the CSSU

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Ah sorry I didn't read the entirety of the post, my bad. Sorry I'm not sure what you can do about that :( Unless someone else has a better suggestion I'd try a reflash (though honestly, wait half an hour or so to see if someone has a better suggestion).

EDIT: Ah I see Rob1n has a better suggestion.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

or you could download just the kernel and try reflashing that first. it helped me allot of times! after a reflash you keep everything you had. only the kernel wich most of the time causes the problem gets renewed.

Here is a simple flasher tool a friend made. just install in C:/N900 and run the flasher. (32bit windows only) then make the choice speed up to default. this will reflash only the kernel. kernels and firmware PR1.3 are included in the download

also root backups made by bootmenu can be flashed back on the device with this program

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Works fine for me however I've tried locking it - side switch, power button menu, double press of the power button, or timeout. In all cases, a single press of the power button will then show the lock screen with clock.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Robin try to rotate the screen in portrait then lock it, hold it in portrait and unlock it with power button. do you have force rotation on?

it will definately crash this way!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

No, I don't have force rotation on - I just wish there was an option to force auto-rotation off (though I hear a rotation-lock is on the plans).

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i think this only happens with force rotation on. because this is causing the problem.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just gave this a shot. Didnt crash though the slide to unlock screen was pretty messed up with artifacts etc.

As far as how many times I have to press the button to get the slide to unlock screen I was always forced to press 2 times. I have a sneaky suspicion that its some other app like perhaps quick launch causing the problem.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

maybe your right bratag. havent tested it that good. i always use the slide so i dont have problems with the unlock thing myself.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I'm sorry, what? You have to manually enable it in order for it to be on, or let some theme or program like Theme Customizer stick in a transitions.ini file that does it for you, to turn out rotation on. Just undo what you did to turn it on, and bam, no auto-rotate. (IE, go in your transitions.ini file and set the relevant value to 0.) If everything is auto rotating for you, you DO have force rotation on, and thus should check your active transitions.ini file.

Anyway...

I personally like setting the slide to unlock screen rotate. Now all that's needed is for themes to include a vertical background as well as all the other vertical icons, and the slide to unlock screen slightly reprogrammed/cloned to use different ones depending on screen rotation, and bam. Portrait slide-to-unlock screen. Which is something I've been wanting for a while, personally.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

The loading window (the one with a moving dial next to the title) always shows in landscape mode, this can be fixed in later versions I guess, but it means we have to disable splash screens in portrait mode.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I cannot find any report to my recent modest bug, before filing it i would like to check here first:

when using reply or reply to all on an email where the sender address contains accented characters, the name is either cut or complete address is erased altogether. in many cases, all original addresses are erased, thus reply results in empty address-to line.

Can anyone else confirm this as CSSU issue please?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i notice this, it would be more fluid if they load in potrait,
btw what apps are closed source?
all the ones built in?
because potrait convesations, music player, and better distributed keyboardboard would be nice.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

The app menu, settings panel, h-a-m (and various others) auto-rotate even with the setting off. Not everything does though, ergo I don't have the setting on (plus I don't have any customizer apps installed, so I know exactly what changes I've made to the transitions.ini file).

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

*off topic a bit*
when i was trying to get potriat mode..a few pages back i remember someone saying i had to place a file into rti-messages.ui it was a zip file. (messages.ccs i think) i unzipped and put them in the suggested folder...
now ive tried using my chat and i can see what the person says in the notification popup but when i open the chat i cant see the message...its blank..when i reply i can see what i type in the reply box but when i hit enter my message sends but it remains blank in the chat box...
i know ive done something wrong just cant figure what it is....
help please..thanks

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I just install latest version 12.1 of CSSU, can't wait for the stable version lol

It is just AWESOME ! http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6...egif048aa1.gif :D



Many many thanks to all the devs and the maemo community who work on it ! :)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

That same post also says take backup of the changed files. If you've not, and need to get them back, you'll have to get someone to send them to you. I don't think they can be distributed because they are (c) Nokia.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

They cant be distibuted but you can always run apt-get install --reinstall rtcom-messaging-ui to get the original files back.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

full screen view of the photo gallery already had potrait, so now, it rotates the already rotated picture.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i think im going to flash back to the original sf and start fresh....do i need to install those files again (message.css)?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Is it also possible to get 3 column task switcher?
The default on is 3 column but when more than 6 windows it changes to 4 column and I hate that :)
It would be good to write just "taskswitcher 3" in transitions.ini but I'm not sure it is implemented.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

It's almost like forced rotation isn't designed for day-to-day use ;-p

Updates and tracking on http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/.../Portrait_mode appreciated, and updating http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/...t_applications with information on how they can be fixed in the CSSU even more so.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

You don't need to do anything beyond follow the CSSU installation instructions to install the -testing version of the Community SSU.

If you want to enable force rotation (and, to be honest, I wouldn't), you can hack Conversations to render better in portrait mode by applying the patches tracked in #11976.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone on this list and to those folk who aren't mentioned, but still played a part in keeping the Maemo Community alive.

Portrait mode is fantastic, taking the screenshot needed the help of another person, but wow it looks awesome! :)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I have lost the CSSU option to have upto to 9 desktops from my manage views taskbar again, no idea why apart from I was trying to change the backgrounds but I can't see why that should make he option disappear, is there anyway of getting it the option back as just rebooting doesn't seem to work?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

theme customizer is the reason.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Is there a solution apart from removing theme customizer?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yes, unfortunatly I also had to delete the nice Theme Customiser app and all the icons set packs to see the auto rotate working in many places, and before that I had to reset many themes by default in Theme Custom-settings

Then it seems that all (app rotation/status bar 6 rows/menu status bar in portrait/virtual keyboard in portrait sms/9 screen avalaible/...) is working fine only with original themes.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Ahhh, I see what you mean. Sorry 'bout that. You're talking about specific programs that have now had their auto-rotate flags set.

In my opinion, such programs should have their own "enable auto-rotation" checkbox in their respective settings, since they're open source.

If it were up to me, I'd say ditch the splash screens either way. Well, some make sense I suppose, but Hildon handles them poorly enough that I wouldn't really call them a feature.

But on the other hand, I know other people probably like them, so you should be able to toggle splash screens on-off.

Actually, on that subject, a while ago I launched the Settings "app" from portrait, it loaded in portrait, and the splash-screen saved as portrait. For a while after the fact, I would launch Settings in landscape mode, and I never once noticed the splash screen look problematic.

I mean, it was obviously wrong (it duplicated the splash screen and tiled it, since the portrait was too thin to take the entire landscape splash screen up), but I don't think it's particularly broken. *Shrug*

Now, about the distributing/replacement of CSS files... Are we seriously saying that the distribution of a 150/200-line CSS file, available in plain text and the contents of which are logically deducible, is not legal? That's not copyright infringement and I doubt anyone would be able to hold that claim up in a court - you could easily have made the same CSS file through just seeing that it uses a CSS file, and then reverse engineering it based on educated guesses about what the classes are named.

That said, I agree with the patch method because that should be compatible with whatever other tweaks people make to their CSS files. (Although it also means if they tweak their CSS files between then and now, they lose those changes upon uninstall...) Can a patch file to just remove the changes added be produced, which would be capable of ignoring any other changes made between patch application and removal?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Do you fix bug 5317? It is very annoying losing my terminal history if I close the terminal the wrong way. And it is a pretty easy fix, just include the latest busybox :)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Bit off-topic: Would updating the busybox break, say, the install of a full ping utility, requiring the reinstall of that?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

How do I apply the css patch files? The N900 appears not to have the patch command (I know I could just diff and inject the code myself but surely there's a way to patch??)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I'm using the graffiti theme and I do have theme-customiser. Everything seems to rotate fine....

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Not necessarily. You might have to re-set your PATH or symlink the binary out of busybox and to your tool.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i seem to be dropping a lot more calls in the last 1.5 weeks since updates.

is it possible it is because of the cssu?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Any chance we can get the desktop to rotate too?
