Question slightly off topic: does anyone know a java based spreadsheet app that can be used on an n9 with phoneME?

New build works for me just as the old build on n9.
But is there no way to run in portrait mode on n9?
That would solve my back bar issue.
I would need to rewrite some of the drawing routines.

Thank you a lot! Now I can finally run my favorite app "Railnavigator" (German railway time timetable) fast and in a finger friendly size!
One question though:
Would it be possible for you to turn this into a configurable option?
Do you see any noticeable difference with anti-alias turned on or
off? I don't see any big difference (could be due to the font or the
fact that my digitizer is a bit scratched).
Cheers

Hi Folks,
New build (20120305) online with the following features:
-configuration option to turn on/off anti-aliased fonts
-configuration option for running in portrait mode
http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/?q=node/10#maemo
These options are available in the "MIDlet Settings" application
(for default options), or you can specify the following command
line parameters for the cvm binary to override the ones in "MIDlet
Settings":
-portrait
-noportrait
-antialias
-noantialias
Some other useful cvm command line parameters are:
-fullscreen
-nofullscreen
-bitmapfont
-nobitmapfont
Again, note that these command line parameters do not work
for the runmidlet application (which uses the default options).
About running in portrait mode:
I don't know if there are software options or upgrades for Maemo
or MeeGo that allow the device to auto-rotate its display by using
accelerator/gravity sensors. If that is the case, the midlet
application should receive a window resize update and portrait
mode should work out of the box (this is what happens on
Android), and you should not use the above option.
However, if your device is "stuck" in landscape mode, you can
enable the above option. The Maemo/MeeGo status bars are
still in landscape mode (if you do not run in full screen), but the
midlet itself is drawn in portrait mode. There is a performance
penalty though, as I need to apply a rotation transformation step
for each window update and I also need to translate the original
x,y coordinates of a pointer event to match with the coordinates of
the rotated midlet.
Feedback is much appreciated,
Davy

Also the bahn's rail navigator app looks better in portrait.
Thanks a lot!

Is there anything I need to configure or install?

In fact, I can see a difference and it looks much better now. I'm using the Droid fonts. (However, I have to admit that I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to text rendering).

but I don't have these options, only:
-Clock & Alarms
-Profile
-Internet connection
-Bluetooth
-USB connected
I guess I need to install a package called status-area-orientationlock-applet to enable this feature
