Gallery Rotation
 
I really tried to avoid creating a new thread, I looked as hard as I could both here and on the whirlpool forums to no avail. I am aware that due to several factors, the N9 was not released with the polish that Nokia gave most of its flagship phones. As a result, we have a phone which is to be used primarily in portrait mode.

Coming from a N8, I find it frustrating that the gallery does not auto rotate. Is there a way to fix it? I tried the N9 Tweak Tool, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

On a side note, I love the Swipe UI, but it's quite irritating in the aforementioned gallery app. Showing pictures has turned into quite the workload. I may seem like I'm complaining a lot, but I do really like the phone. I've always heard great things about the community here, and thought maybe someone had a solution or workaround.

Hope everyone had a hearty Christmas.

It isn't for me, I can only view the pictures one way. And have to always rotate the phone physically.

My gallery autorotates, both when looking at the full gallery view and when looking at the single picture view. I recommend downloading the latest version of N9QuickTweaks and selecting tweaks B 4 and B 6. Also, do you have your orientation locked? Are both landscape and portrait mode activated?

I'll do that and get back to you.

No, the orientation isn't locked. Opera rotates all the time. How do I check whether both are activated?

I take pictures in landscape. Though I've also copied pictures taken on other cameras (such as my N8) to the N9.

Yeah, I made a mistake earlier. I meant to say, rotating the phone physically doesn't help at all. The only instance where it happens (quite a lot actually) is in Opera Mobile.

I also tried the aforementioned tweaks to no avail.

bibek 2012-12-29 10:50
Does the camera ui rotate in landscape? The on screen buttons should change rotation by 90 degree on rotating device.

If it is rotating fine, but gallery not wotking, then you might have a SW bug. If it is not rotating either, then you might have a SW or HW bug, but the HW bug is unlikely.

I'd suggest a reinstall of system ui or reflash as last measure.

No, it doesn't. I wasn't even aware that could happen. How can I reinstall just the system ui?

bibek 2012-12-29 11:48
I'm not sure about the terminal commands for this. Please get it confirmed before doing anything with your phone.
Also, if u hav modded, this might cause problems on reinstall.
Make sure you know what you are doing.

It must be something (as root) like
Code:
apt-get install system-ui --reinstall

bibek 2012-12-29 11:51
So, you don't have landscape in any app? What about Qt apps like fmobi etc?

I'll make sure of the terminal commands.

And no, as I said, no landscape anywhere except Opera. Don't have fMobi installed.

Re: Gallery Rotation
 
So I found a way to do it:

Code:
Open terminal

devel-su
rootme (default root password)
apt-get purge system-ui
apt-get install system-ui --reinstall
The last step didn't seem to complete successfully. So I guess, flashing is the only option?

Re: Gallery Rotation
 
Why did you purge existing system-ui? bibek's command was good enough; now your last command is wrong because if you have already purged it how can it re-install? So you just need to apt-get install system-ui that's it without the --reinstall flag...

I'm just desperate for it to work. Nothing seems to be wrong though, I checked all the apps and settings. Rotation is still a no go.

EDIT; There is no clock app.

Re: Gallery Rotation
 
So did you try without the --reinstall flag i.e. as root: "apt-get install system-ui"


Edit: You can re-install sys-ui as mentioned above but I don't know the exact reason why that was given by bibek so you could also try re-installing libmeegotouchcore0 the following way:
Code:
devel-su
{enter your password}
apt-get install libmeegotouchcore0 --reinstall

I tried both. Here's the whole message after it asks to continue:

Code:

aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected

Re: Gallery Rotation
 
That means you installed Vesuri's mod from N9QTweak most probably so what you can do is type the following in terminal:
Code:
devel-su
{enter your password}
apt-get install -d libmeegotouchcore0 --reinstall
/usr/sbin/incept /var/cache/apt/archives/libmeegotouchcore0
Give it a reboot after that...

Yes, I do have the mod installed.

After I input:

Code:
apt-get install -d libmeegotouchcore0 --reinstall
It said download complete and in download only mode.

I put the last command in, it said re0: No such file or directory.

oops i forgot a * in the last command; it should read:
Code:
/usr/sbin/incept /var/cache/apt/archives/libmeegotouchcore0*

Went through the whole thing again, and it failed to load policies for the call ui, conn-ui (libinternetapplet) and the clock.

EDIT: I tried apt-get install for all three. Call-ui and the clock worked.

bibek 2012-12-30 14:47
So you had Vesuri's mod installed. And we all were suspecting ur poor N9. :|

enerqy 2012-12-30 14:54
Re: Gallery Rotation
 
I had the problem before Vesuri's mod was installed.

I decided to flash the phone a few minutes ago. And everything works again :)
