Frist of all, make sure you have installed the status memu applet : Orientation lock.

Then take the phone into portrait mode, and click the "Orientation lock" applet button. The phone will be locked in the portrait mode.

That's all.

Yes, it is strange, I think.
I just found that some guys wanna the locking portrait mode feature in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74980
And I want it too. But the community does not want to support it for a long time.

So I made a modification by myself and release it for someone who need it just like myself.

Re: [Announce]Hildon desktop package which supports lock in portrait mode

I really don't get it why you are forking h-d. And asking for a mail in order to publish source code is impolite if not suspicious. Just attach .dsc and .tar.gz files in your opening post, as simple as that. Or even better make a clone of h-d on gitorious and request a merge of your patches so they can be reviewed and eventually merged upstream.

Re: [Announce]Hildon desktop package which supports lock in portrait mode

If I install this, will I lose compatability with the real CSSU, does the updates work after this install? Would like to use, but after the last testing I had to reflash, so I am kinda sceptical at the moment.

I dont think so even though if you want revert back just do as 32606 says on the first post.

Sadly, i can confirm trishas situation, BUT i don't understand why one would want to revert back, although i will try to find an answer.. btw i tested uninstallation just for fun.

And the size of source code file exceeds the forum's limit of 488.3 KB for .gz file.

So I have to do like that.

Actually I'm just a maemo user of N810, N900 and I like them and maemo.org. I even do not want to fork HD. I wish CSSU can provide the feature just like some other guys do. As I mentioned, we need the function with a long-time waiting.
When I went through the HD
code last week, I found it is possible and easy to support locking-portrait mode. So I posted to show it. The modification is very simple and no more than 10 lines or code. Trust me. So I don't think there is any side effect for this change.

Please forgive my pool English and I wish I have explained it clearly.

In fact, some changes are useless, such as:
489a494,499
2143c2159,

And the modification of hd-comp-mgr.c is ugly. I think the better way is change lib-orientation-lock-status-menu-widget.c in status-area-orientationlock-applet. But it will change two package.

After all, l32606 did something for himself and for the people who has interest in doing the same thing.Man, if some people dont find it amusing its best to keep away.This sort of self appointed guardianship doesn't look nice.It's best to be polite as MohammadAG always does.

Ok, maybe I overreacted a bit (in the context of recent source code requests for LGPLed binaries). Why suspicious you may ask. Maybe some of you still remember epitaph's surprises, that is why.

Anyway my point was that h-d is a community project, not some abandoned piece of software and it will be better to contribute to it in a correct way, it will be much easier for all of us who care.

l32606, please take my apologies if you feel offended by my posts. Not intentionally. And I really appreciate your contribution to h-d and CSSU. It just will be better to do it right way.

You know I am a newbie here and maybe not familiar with the rules to commit the change, but I have confidence in my change. So when I saw your reply first, I do not know why you said that. But now I got it.

I think all of us here share a common purpose that make the community better. So I wish I have the chance to do the contribution.

Some apps. have their own scheme of the rotation signal, like Opera mobile, Mycontacts etc. As my known, hildon-deskop can't lock these apps.

So we have to set the orientation using Opera Mobile settings.

I use Opera mainly in portrait but sometimes, eg. when lying on my right side it needs to be locked to landscape, so plain orientation lock would be the best option to use.
BTW even when blacklisted & lanscape-locked it still turns to portrait. Is it then Operas bug? It worked well with the latest CSSU update

Thank you for your report.:)
I'll try to fix the bug of reboot.
I also found that imageviewer's problem in portrait mode. But I'm afraid that it's hard to be resolved cause imageviewer's code should be modified, I think.
