As of now I have uninstalled the locking portrait mode package (per developer recomendation) and my phone is much more inconvenient to use. All I really needed from the old package was for locking portrait mode to persist across reboots.

The following is some dialog I had with one of the developers.

More specifically lock portrait mode functionality works almost perfect for me at: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80644
Right now - I would say no . The MCE should be somehow patched, otherwise we won't get rid of a problem with locking Qt-based apps, MicroB or even CallUi. That's not an easy task, as the whole OS should be thoroughly tested.
Btw please do not mix hildon-desktop from the link above with any CSSU release .

Please advise.
The orientation locking feature needs to be completely redesigned & rewritten. And this relays on the availability of the patched MCE .

Also, what version of hildon-desktop should I be using with the CSSU? I am on CSSU 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1

Maybe: http://repository.maemo.org/communit...2-22_armel.deb

Thanks for the reply.
MCE stands for 'the Mode Control Entity for Nokia Internet Tablets'.

Yes, hildon-desktop_2.2.142-22_armel.deb is the latest version available in the CSSU-testing.
