[Announce] Status menu in portrait mode

This one's a quicky, sort of :P

This allows you to get the status menu showing in portrait mode, you need to replace two packages, hildon-desktop (it blocks the status menu in portrait mode by default), and hildon-status-menu, so it can auto rotate.

hildon-desktop is based on Matan's mhd, sources in same directory as deb files.

Straight ballin'

And MohammadAG does it again! The crowd goes wild! :D

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Who else but MohammadAG...

Keep up the good work...

:)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Will this be integrated permanently to Matan's modified Hildon desktop package, so one can get automatic upgrades once installed?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Awesome! This isn't working with the single column package i guess?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

This is already based on his package.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

does this also includes faster kinetic scrolling & call screen glitch fixes?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Mohhamad, why dont you make a 'page' of yourself with ur packages and what they do.. i cant follow ur fixxes anymore.. :P and all of them are great.. !

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Yes, but automatic upgrades from repositories for this version of modifield-hildon-desktop would be nice, like kernel-power -package which is kept up.
You could call it hildon-desktop-power or hildon-desktop-mmm or something. (mmm = Modified by Matan and MohammadAG)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Might look into gconf and merge all packages into one configurable package, would be really nice if Matan could help here since he seems to know a lot about it.

The SSU was set up properly, but HAM keeps ignoring packages in it and I might as well just remove Nokia's repositories from the trusted list to get the SSU going, because that's the only thing that's preventing me from releasing it.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

or a full custom firmware of maemo5 made by M.AG :D

awesome work again, like always, nokia didn't do it, M.AG did it...

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Nice. Only problem I have had is that 3G/2G/Dual Mode Selection Applet doesn't fill the bigger cell properly.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

mohammad please could you make one for conversations also? :(

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

3G/2G applet needs a minor modification to make it use layouts properly, not related to this, only triggered by it ;)

Conversations is closed source, sorry!

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Does this status menu include the extra line allowing you to see 6 lines before having to scroll?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Awesome keep on my best man

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

@MohammadAG, thank you for this application. I followed you instruction but strange enough the status menu is still landscape. Morever, the contacts which typically turn to portat it stays landscape and does not turn portrait anymore.
Thanks for your help

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

I've also got this, reboot the phone after installing :)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

I did reboot, the problem is still the same

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Sometimes hildon-desktop doesn't restart properly, sometimes it does, it's pretty random, which is why I said either killall or reboot.

If anyone's wondering, post #17 is the same package but with 6 lines in landscape mode.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

mohammad , you r the best i've ever seen

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

MohammadAG: Did I ever tell you how much I love you? (Now I just have to get myself to set up scratchbox and start doing actually useful things instead of mooching off people like you. Like make as many of the status menu applets as possible to not yank you out of portrait mode. I'll do my best to figure that out in the next few days, but knowing this community, the non-newbs will figure it out way before I can.)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

same issue, status menu not rotate even after reboot, i have many application in status menu, ssh status, 3g2g ModeSelection, ProfileX, WiFi switcher, signal applet, and other

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

The status menu won't rotate to portrait if the window behind it doesn't support portrait mode, open something that has portrait mode support like the phone app (assuming it's not locked to landscape)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

The statusbar menu is now almost perfect for me, there is still a bit of space lost in portrait mode, it is possible to make a status bar like the one in post #17 but with to also 2 supplementary lines in portrait mode ? :)

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

this is an incompatable package for me
and the commands on post 1 didnt give me portrait mode in the phone app at all
even after repeating it and rebooting twice?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

yes it work with phone application, i think can work also on simply desktop without no application open, but no

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

After installing, the status menu does not go portrait and all other application I need to apply ctrl+shift+r to make that specific application goes portrait. The problem is that it contacts for example goes portrait only once and then I need to apply ctrl+shift+r once more, etc. The applications seems now "memory less" for rotation.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

arf, doesn't work here, I tried with phone application saved in portrait mode or automatic, also with instinctiv and others
for the moment, just a black square begins to appear and stops immediately all in one seconde, nothing else :(

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Running apt-get upgrade would reinstall the original debs. Example:
To avoid that, do the following:
Ciao!

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Nice! Looks good. Nifty for the flash light button.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

Very much agreed with the flashlight thing. It's already possible, combined with the cl-launcher, to launch flashlight from portrait. But now it also makes shutting it off from portrait that much easier. In fact, just... This makes the phone yet another significant step to realistically being capable of universally supporting portrait mode. All we need is a good universal portrait keyboard (the one w00t ported and eternal was working on for a bit were promising, but didn't get anywhere), and someone really enterprising to undertake the task of creating a significantly modified hildon desktop with portrait mode at the home screen level and task switcher level, and we'd be set. Frak, even without the home screen and task switcher being portraitable, if just about everything else is, in practice, it becomes essentially equally usable.

You the man!!!

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

This guy is too good!

Now he just needs to get global portrait working! :P

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

does this hildon-desktop include the kinetic scrolling fixes?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 

still not working for me after trying it over and over again
im using matans modified hildon desktop to give me 8 home screens,
could that be why it wont work?

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode

Actually he is still a boy. Which makes him that much more amazing. Are you 18 years old yet Mohammad?
