Rotation can be locked/unlocked easily with an extra app.
I used to always use landscape, but now there's an option I am using portrait more.

@Mike Fila
I know OMP will be separate. Just waiting for it to become stable.

I am sticking to extras for now, haven't the time to reflash from devel and testing stuff at the moment.

Some of the fixes make programs compiled on CSSU phone not work correctly on a 1.3 phone (see VFU thread, crawl is another example). Some of the fixes are nice (grey char in xterm), though I would prefer to install them separately. Also got a problem with camera while on vacation without a laptop for a reflash, so no pictures

you dont need to reflash to get the old camera back.

apt-get install --reinstall camera-ui=1.1.29.1+0m5

@ tony power there is a portrait keyboard but it suck

In CSSU stable flavour it's the landscape keyboard squashed.
It not a patch on Operas virtual keyboard, but it has one.

It seems to me, that most people who aren't using CSSU (with few noteworthy exceptions) aren't just knowledgeable enough to know what it does (posts, claiming that CSSU main feature is portrait mode - LOL - or that cameraui2 can't be uninstaled), or are FUD believers (mystic "widget" incompatibility, WTF?).

Well, it's FOSS, so everyone is free to use whatever he/she want. Just don't cry, when something You would like to have require CSSU and developer isn't interested in releasing version compatible with non-CSSU devices. Or, Your bug report can't be confirmed, cause you use ancient QT or whatever. It's like requesting every developer to write for PR1.1.

CSSU is Maemo "upstream", no matter if someone like it or not. Of course, there is always "plausible deniability" available, so no one is forced to use anything

'Basically a bug fix'? The CSSU has been hailed as a wonderful way to get portrait-mode working, and enable plenty of other additional features. Rarely is it hailed as being "just a bug-fix".

So far as I can see, I need none of the additional features currently added by CSSU. Moreover, I haven't yet encountered any significant bugs in 1.3(.1), let alone seen anything in the CSSU changelog that demands my attention. So, from my perspective, I would be replacing a 1.3.1 Maemo that is working perfectly fine on my N900 with a newer version for no reason other than that it is a newer version.

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy to see talented folks working on the Maemo infrastructure. But, I just don't have a need (yet) for the product they've built.

Yes, I've been reading all these posts, about CSSU's main feature being portrait mode. In fact, if you look at the Wiki, that's what it says, too:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Features

Lots and lots and lots of GUI improvements, including rotation and portrait mode improvements. In fact, that's pretty much all that the main page says:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU

Beyond the bare assertion that the CSSU is the "continuation of Nokia's SSU", all that the wiki talks about (beyond how to install it) is the new pretty transitions, rotations, and portrait mode.

Honestly, we could do with a bit of instruction here, if the CSSU is actually not what it is being advertised to be...

Sorry, but if installing CSSU makes programs compiled on 1.3.1 or scratchbox not work and vice versa it hardly seems a bug-fix. Making backward incompatible fixes is a problem. I am not crying, found my own workarounds that don't break compatibility (mrxvt for grey-char in terminal for example). More problems arise when people compile programs on CSSU phones and get bug reports from non-CSSU users.
