[PoC] Portrait Mode "Maps" app on N900
 
I'm currently playing around with more hildon-desktop patches (see here and here). Turns out that the "Maps" application doesn't support portrait mode (among other built-in apps), but it turns out it can be relayouted using simple HTML/CSS hackery.

The first result of this 5-minute-hack is this: http://thp.io/2011/maemo/portrait_mode_maps.sh. Pretty trivial, and as you can see on the photo, some parts would still need manual layouting. Also, this patch fixes the application into portrait mode, so landscape mode won't work after that (changing the script to change the layout back is left as an exercise for the reader ;)). I won't pursue this specific app (Maps) any further, but this should get interested community members who know HTML and CSS started on implementing portrait mode support in Nokia Maps ;)

I hope it could be easily integrated with other mods for Nokia Maps like voice guidance. Did you contacted the developers that are currently working on it?

Looking good,portrait mode in Maps will be useful.

That could be usefull, particularly when biking, thats when I have missed rotation of Nokia Maps.

I'm particularly interested in that portrait vkb, how was that achieved, without FastSMS?

Well, /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html is one big fat html file. And looks like we are not allowed to distribute the file.
A hint for others wanting to take a look at it: The download version of http://jsbeautifier.org/ is really useful.

It's the standard on-screen keyboard under the influence of the forced auto-rotation patch that's going to be included in the Community SSU at some point in the future.

All my patches to hildon-desktop have been merged. The Maps modification is currently not going in, as Maps is closed, and my changes still need more work (right now, it's either portrait or landscape, but not both).

with this script we get both..

Code:
#!/bin/sh
sed -i -e 's/800px/_WIDTH_/g' \
      -e 's/480px/_HEIGHT_/g' \
      -e 's/_WIDTH_/100%/g' \
      -e 's/_HEIGHT_/100%/g' \
      /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html
but it's still ugly..need more works.. if someone knows something about css..
you just got to edit the file : /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html

[be carefull it's a 1M file]

I ve finished a mod of the famous file..

now the apps turns with the screen.

Only the "reports forms" are still originals (I ve just started with css so..I don't understand how to resize its stupid buttons..)


Maybe we could add a google search button in the details pages..but i dont not know javascript..so if anyone wants to have try.. It should not be so difficult..

So here is the new file, download it, uncompress and copy the index.html here:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cp /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html.back
cp index.html /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html

Hmm, cant access the file.

Do not click.

Use the right mouse button and hit "save as"

Anyway ... This leaves a loop file the application to load and is thus, having to kill the process. At least in my case.

I add it as a link to download from the forum.

Then rename it to "index.new" and follow the instructions of the thread.

Sure you get the file, I should say a file, but did you look at what's inside ? It is just an html file from OVH with the error message "Object not found" !

Perhaps it explains also why it doesn't work and you have to kill the app :)

To me the file does not work.

Any suggestions on how to avoid remaining in the boot screen of the application?

Re: [PoC] Portrait Mode "Maps" app on N900
 
Ok. Now if I start.

What does not work yet is to click on the icon of the compass.

The rest, what I could try.

Thank you very much.

opax 2011-09-08 12:27
Re: [PoC] Portrait Mode "Maps" app on N900

the compass did not work for me for a long time so i don't know what's the problem

what are still not in portrait are the report's sub windows

Re: [PoC] Portrait Mode "Maps" app on N900
 
the index.html of opax don't work for me.
The Maps application don't start.
I modified the script of thp, changing two lines, and finally, works in landscape and portrait

-e 's/_WIDTH_/100%/g' \
-e 's/_HEIGHT_/100%/g' \

Yes, I download this file. But when you start the application, it's loading forever and never shows the screen with the map
