lol but phone app will be up side down. The mic will be at your ear

I really like to use that phone in Portraitmode.Rotatedaemon works but when I'm calling someone, the phone crashes often.

I am not able to find the application to download ? can u help me in locating and installing it on my device ... ?

Re: [Announce] rotatedaemon: fast rotation for applications to portrait mode and all other screen directions

Thanks for the app - I eagerly await the blacklist feature :)

Re: [Announce] rotatedaemon: fast rotation for applications to portrait mode and all other screen directions

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's going to happen anytime soon. I have a lot less free time nowdays, and have had to reprioritise things as a result.. I'm still happy to try help someone else take a crack though.

Re: [Announce] rotatedaemon: fast rotation for applications to portrait mode and all other screen directions

Okay well thanks for the reply!

Some apps which work correctly with "Ctrl-Shirt-R" rotation do not seem to work correctly with your method. Examples are: Conversations, email, and Sygic maps.

More specifically: With Ctrl-Shift-R, the screen correctly rotates and is the right shape with no black gaps. With your script, the right half of the screen is missing, and there is a big gap below.

Was wondering if you knew why that was...

Thanks a lot for this, I expecially like the portrait menu, which looks very good.

I have created a hybrid of RotateDaemon and Ctrl-Shift-R. It doesn't have reverse portrait, sometimes gets stuck in reverse landscape, requires some persuasion (lock slider, waving in different directions) to switch between orientations, brings up some strange screen bugs, but it doesn't reboot N900 at all. It never causes N900 to reboot itself, and it uses Ctrl-Shift-R instead of 90 rotation.

Some screenshots attached.

When it becomes less buggy and more workable, I might release it.

If/when I do release it, it will be open-source.

Re: [Announce] rotatedaemon: fast rotation for applications to portrait mode and all other screen directions

Cool, I look forward to any progress.

Re: [Announce] rotatedaemon: fast rotation for applications to portrait mode and all other screen directions

Looks promising. I really strongly request that you put up the code you already have somewhere... That way we can always learn from it, and if someone else wishes to take up your work or collaborate with you, they can if they have something to contribute without waiting until it's more done.
