Dear all,

After having received my N9, I spent quite some time creating a
customized build for this platform as many features were missing.
It took my quite a while to get something working (and had to
learn a bit of QML along the way), but I uploaded a new build for
MeeGo:

http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/public/maemo/deb/

Build 20120807 is very experimental and has the following main
features:

Auto-rotate and resize of midlet
Make sure in the "MIDlet Settings" application, you disable the
"Rotate midlet to 90 degrees" option.

No more grey bar at the bottom if you are not running fullscreen.
The orientation of the midlet should be OK by default, and be
redrawn if you rotate from portrait to landscape (or vice versa).

Native virtual keyboard support
To trigger the virtual keyboard, just press and hold somewhere on
the display and the virtual keyboard should pop up. Do it again and
it will disappear.

I noticed that the rendering is a bit slower now (you sometimes
can see some flickering) in Opera. I think that this is due to the
QDeclarativeItem to wrap the framebuffer in a QML widget (to
support autorate, etc.)

Also, the current build has dirty hacks to filter for valid geometry
changes for portrait and landscape mode (with and without vkb).
I did this because during a rotate I get many geometryChanged()
signals and processing them all crashes the underlying phoneME
vm. Also, some of the new geometries are invalid (e.g. a width
or height equal to 0, or with both values > 800). So I try to filter for
proper geometry changes and it seems to work for the default
virtual keyboard, not sure what would happen for other ones.

I have mainly tested with the microemu-demo and the opera
midlets, which are in the cvm-midlets package (available at the
same url).

Your feedback is much appreciated. I will leave the older builds
online as well if you find the latest one a bit too unstable.

Cheers,
Davy
