I have not changed anything w.r.t to the N9 implementation. On the N9 emulator, the midlets also start in landscape mode when the device is positioned in portrait mode. I cannot test auto-rotate with the emulator, though if I remember correctly, some people claimed auto-rotation worked for them (I might be wrong). I presume you have the same issue with other midlets beyond Opera Mini (e.g. microemu-demo)? The only easy fix I can think of is adding another entry in the midlet settings that would rotate the midlet in the other direction. Davy
