I see, thank you for pointing that out. It wasn't working like that in 5.1, but I haven't tried yet in 7.2. I'll try this later today.

The way I understand it then is that what the devs don't like is forced portrait lock, which is different from portrait lock? I am guessing that portrait lock just keeps applications that are whitelisted from autorotating when switching to landscape, whereas forced portrait lock just forces all applications to use portrait mode.

I really need to investigate more how this works, will read up on it.

Yes, I was already thinking about doing that! When I first started reading that thread it was sounding like there would be a mild performance loss, but I was unaware that the new compiler actually made code not only use less RAM, but also run faster. I like win/win situations!

That's the least I can do, Estel. I'm in constant awe of this community, and what people like you and merlin (and so many others) have done for it. Hopefully I'll start developing soon for the N900, and give back some of what I have gotten from you guys. Thank you!
