Since the original CSSU thread is getting too long an unwieldy, it is now almost impossible seperate the signal from the noise. I don't know why but the moderators also seem reluctant to start separate forum sections/threads for CSSU. So I am now starting a separate thread for various CSSU related topics, which are of interest to end-users.


CSSU has provided portrait mode as an experimental feature. This can be enabled by changing the value of forcedrotation from 0 to 1 in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini. D-livil's transition tuner can also be used as a graphical interface for this purpose.

This wiki page gives the status of portrait mode support in various apps. At present all apps do not display correctly in portrait mode. Hence, future updates of CSSU will have rotation based on a WHITELIST. ie, only applications mentioned in the whitelist will rotate, while the rest remains without rotation. Please help us keep the wiki page updated so as to get a comprehensive whitelist for rotation.

To prevent applications from autorotating when not needed (eg., when using MicroB on bed) install status-area-orientationlock-applet from the repositories.

The desktop can be rotated using control+shift+r, but is currently unusable. This rotation can also be seen when OMweather widget is installed.


NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPERS:
Please read the following BEFORE posting:

• Autorotation is not a support feature. It's for development purposes.
• Please read the FAQ.
• Check the bug list.
