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

I don't know whether that is something that is technically against spec but is permitted in some implementations.

The only slight issues I have now is that the menus in the app are a little small to be touch friendly, and I would prefer if the keyboard automatically appeared when the field was selected or was permanently shown.

One thing is missing: usage of accelerometer. If you want to change between portrait and landscape mode you have to do it in the settings.

Thanks for your work.

So, for auto-rotation to work on the N9, the UI front-end needs to be
rewritten using the MeeGo Touch APIs.

You have CSSU with forced rotation enabled, so h-d rotates applications no matter if they want to be rotated. Don't rely on that. The correct way is:

in you MainWindow::MainWindow() you should:

Code:

    setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation, true);
    connect(QApplication::desktop(), SIGNAL(resized(int)), this, SLOT(orientationChanged()));

and in orientationChanged() slot

Code:

    QRect screenGeometry = QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry();
    setUpdatesEnabled(false);

    if (screenGeometry.width() > screenGeometry.height())
    {
        /* Do landscape stuff */
    }
    else
    {
        /* Do portrait stuff */
    }
    setUpdatesEnabled(true);

Based on what I have read, it is a limitation of pure Qt4 on MeeGo.
The MeeGo SDK has APIs that are somewhat similar to Qt4. I
might have a go at implement it myself, but have no way to test
auto-rotation with the emulator so you guys could give me a hand
with that.
