[WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Hi all members of TMO,
due to the recent release of the CSSU and Hildon Desktop Portrait, a new feature appeared: A tip to Blacklist some apps to make them stay as landscape.
As it is not evident to know what application remains to what name in the N900 (i mean Maemo OS), I would like to start this thread, with the help of everybody to list all the applications they have and list their name in the maemo OS here, at least for the applications they know.
If we succeed to have a big list, one can create a wiki page to sum up everything. This way, it will be easy to find what application to blacklist or even what application to uninstall with x-Terminal for example!

This is a work in progress, Let's wait for a proper Blacklist GUI to get rid of this thread! :D

You can check the wiki link HERE to see Portrait compatibility for Applications.

For the moment, there are two options to See the names of these applications.

First option (Thanks to kaos_king)

This lists all the applications installed in the N900 but it's a bit weird because it only lists the latest applications (Alphabetically)

Second Option (Thanks to AlMehdi)

I think that this command lists only the application installed by the user. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Best to Use IMO.

Third Option (Thanks to hxka) but I did not test it yet

Install x11-utils. Run This will give you a list of applications connected to X server.


How to put apps to white/Blacklist??

According to these posts, you must modify the transition.ini file, located in usr/share/hildon-desktop/

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

conky for Conky..
qtlockscreen for Qt Lockscreen by sakya
someplayer for SomePlayer
worldclock for Clock
controlpanel for Settings
QCPUFreq for QCPUFrequency
rtcom-call-ui for Phone


simply start conky and an app you want to find it will be there.. :)

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

is there a way we can extract these names ourselves?

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

It was "Internal Names" that got me confused lol.

My suggestion is "Package Names of All Maemo Applications"

As a side note, how do i get the task switcher to always be landscape? Sometimes it goes portrait and looks a little messed up. I never use my phone in portrait and so want all apps/screens to be landscape.

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

This will list all packages installed I believe....

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

Cd to /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and examine the desktop files, especially the lines that start with Exec=

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

The package names won't necessarily match the executable names.

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

Did you forced portrait for application under CSSU configuration??

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

'Force rotation Enabled' is not ticked in cssu tuner, is that what you mean?

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

Yes. Enable it to have portrait support in task switcher!

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications
 

This is better than "dpkg -l" as it will only show user installed apps..

Without the piped awk it will show the app info if that is needed.

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] Internal Names of All Maemo Applications
 

Yes but my issue is that it does go portait if i switch to task switcher when the phone is angled towards that way but i dont want it to be portrait, I want the screen landscape permenantly.

Re: [REQUEST/WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications
 

Thread Updated thanks to all members.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Add preenv to the list to stop WebOS games from rotating.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Thanks but as preenv is not an installable software but a set of libraries, I don't know if it will work, but I will add it too. Anyway I already added preenv games that I have installed on my Phone.
Thanks!! :cool:

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Why we just don't make a list of only these programs that actually needs blacklisting because of not being compatible with portrait yet instead of listing all possible programs.
Just a fancy idea ;)

Greetz,

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

just set the exec directly to the game not to preenv. i had tested .

if u had need for speed just add nfsuc to the blacklist

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

This list can also be useful in the case you want to uninstall an application which is not listed int the app manager. Bloks for example, Chess or Mahjong. I don't play these games. By the way if someone knows a way to delete them...:rolleyes:

That's exactly what i meant.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

(maybe gnuchess is enough to remove, not tested)

:)

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Thanks bro; You're the man. I will also add these games to the list on first page!

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Hey Guys, Good Going with this thread... I have a question.... How is it that i can add these softwares/Apps into the blacklist/whitelist? Which file actually maintains this? I was not able to read the entire CSSU Thread which is currently more than 450 pages, so if anyone knows this, I'd be thankful for the knowledge...

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

You must add these apps after blacklist line in the transition.ini file, located in usr/share/hildon-desktop/
Do it as ejasmudar mentioned in the following post:

I did not tested it yet, so I can't confirm.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Stop. Install x11-utils. Run This will give you a list of applications conneted to X server.
What does your list of packages?

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Anybody knows the name to put in the whitelist for the virtual keyboard? I would like most of the applications to stay in landscape (so force rotate is disabled) and keep a whitelist for certain applications. The browser is on my whitelist but when i enter a textfield the virtual keyboard shows up in landscape.. So i need to know the name of the 'binairy' of the keyboard. Thanks.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

maemoblocks and angrybirds still rotate for me, although others like calculator, camera, xterm, calander, worldclocks listen to the blacklist

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

So how do I put the task switcher in the black list? I dont know what its called :S

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

hi, if you want to maintain your app in landscape mode you have to add the lines to both files (/usr/share/hildon-desktop and /usr/share/theme/<your theme name>) so that both files are having all the new options.

furthermore put the line under this forme: blacklist = xxx yyy zzz

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Thanks Kayamagan for this tip. As I said, I did not tested it yet. I'm reading other post to see if this feature get stabilized. Don't Hesitate to post your feedbacks and other application Names.
Thanks!!

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

is there a limit to how many apps i can add to the blacklist/whitelist?

take fmradio for example. i don't know if either i am using a wrong exectuable name or the list is full bcoz everything i listed after fmradio isn't working either.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

Angrybirds should be angrybirds
Angry Birds Rio should be com-rovio-angrybirdsrio
Angry Birds Seasons should be angrybirdsseasons

Maemoblocks should be maemoblocks
but you could also try br.org.indt.maemoblocks.startup or maemoblocks_startup or even game_ap_blocks_name

Not sure though...

Greetz,

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

I am using SiB gui, which works on mplayer.
I have added sib and mplayer in blacklist
SiB main window is locked in landscape.
When we play any video file using sib it will open a new window, how to lock that window in landscape.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

I've got angry birds as angrybirds and Maemoblocks as maemoblocks (will try other names tomorrow, as these names don't work for me)

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

i've been testing. whitelist doesn't seem to work for me at all.

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

What is the name for a built-in file manager?

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
 

ossofilemanager

Re: [WIP] List of Package/Executable Names of All Maemo Applications (For Portrait Blacklist)
