[Announce] Portrait mode support in modest (w/ fixes)
 
This is based on the newest modest source from gitorious, which means it includes a lot of fixes that make modest faster.

I've added (experimental) portrait mode support to modest, I might go on and do this to some other stock open source apps (the settings app would be one)

Code:

root
wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/debfiles/portrait/modest_3.2.13-3+0m5_armel.deb
dpkg -i modest_3.2.13-3+0m5_armel.deb

Pin the package with
Code:

echo "Package: modest
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

Other fixes:

Sorry, but this version of Modest is semi-broken in the portrait mode. The new-message UI does not resize, and the new-message button at the top does not resize either. There are probably a few other problems there as well. May want to fix these before making it a part of the SSU.

This isn't part of the SSU, and I already mentioned this is experimental ;)

That was my wishful thinking, sorry ;)

Out of curiosity before trying it: What portrait support did you actually add? Or did you just enable the already existing portrait support (shift+control+R)?

At least the existing portrait support doesn't work too well for modest so hopefully you have managed to improve that ;)

With (shift+control+r) right now when I lock the phone modest in portrait and then unlock I can see that modest switches from landscape to portrait. Is it different with this version?

Hold the power button for long enough, and it will power down. Wait for 30-40 seconds, then press the power button again (for a few seconds) and it will power up. After it does, make sure you never ever install anything that does not come from Extras or Extras-Testing repositories. All these "other" packages are for people who can handle problems that may (possibly) come with them.
