how did it happen? :)
it looks good though, apparently progress is being made.. hopefully for across the platform or at least some of the apps that make sense in portrait mode..

we need to figure out how you do this!

Conversations wouldn't be so hard to tweak, its only some css I think

this happened and didnt have opportunity to film or take more screenshots....



the items is status bar scrolled fine as not all would show

i think if i zoomed out in conversations screen text would have fit..
pressing - and + keys zooms text in conversations!

it's easy to do it ;) install braek from extras-devel repository, but you should know that i is unsafe for you lol !!!

so once braek is installed, run it, then go into your phone app. If you want the bug to work, you'll need to configure the phone app to run in portrait mode and not in auto rotate screen ;)
so while still having the braek on your screen ( i mean the false broken screen ) run phone app and then just hit the button to go to dashboard and...

YOU ARE IN PORTRAIT MODE !!!

also pygtkeditor (3.0.2-3) goes to portrait mode

Re: My N900 Has Gone Into Portrait Mode Again
 

Wonder why we have to wait so much (maemo6) for portrait?
It seems so close, only the desktop needs more tinkering with.

Just for those who don't know yet, with the last firmware update, the browser is available in portrait mode, you just have to push ctrl+shift+o once and then the browser goes to portrait mode automaticaly when you turn the device.
You can switch it off by pushing the same key's again

this happened to me once, after playing "color code" (mastermind clone). i wasn't able to get it back to landscape, rendering the device near useless until a reboot :)

maybe you can reproduce it using this game, i can't test it right now.
