This would be the sensible way of doing it - the first time you rotate it has all your widgets there in odd places then once you've placed them, it remembers. I also thought this.

I was also thinking that to maintain multi-desktop background integrity, why not just have the home screen scroll vertically? That way when you rotate all you'd need is to:

Move status bar to the top
Put widgets in their (user-defined) portrait mode positions and rotate them 90 degrees about the z axis

Just a thought. Sorry if someone's already said this, the forums are large and this thread is long.

I should add to this, because this confused me for a bit:

If you use maemodder to change your transitions.ini (as in you always overwrite the one in /usr/share/hildon-desktop) when you update, the relevant section in the .ini will not exist. So I think anywhere that tells people to do this should really say:

"Put these lines in transitions.ini underneath the [thp_tweaks] section which should be at the bottom of the file. If it is not, then add it."

Code:

[thp_tweaks]
zaxisrotation = 1 
forcerotation = 1

The forcerotation option is great for some apps - for example I wish the messaging app autorotated by default as I'm happy with its current vertical state (though obviously still needs work). For others, such as media player, it is a bit annoying, especially if you're lying on your side going through the list as it doesn't work well at all in portrait mode.

EDIT: Sorry for double post, but each post was about entirely different things

I can confirm the funny thing with the 9 desktops happened with me too. I'm not bothered as I just want 4 at the moment. Not got catorize installed. The option was there after installing the latest update and now, after another reboot it is not there. As I say-doesn't bother me if it is there or not, but just reporting that it happened.

One other thing I have noticed since updating is when connecting to wifi or 3g internet it seems to take longer and sometimes requires a 2nd or 3rd go. Once it just kept flashing the little wifi symbol for ages like it was stuckin some kind of loop. Internet was working, so it must have been connected.Disconnected then tried to connect again and it just flashed for ages without connecting. A reboot fixed this. Just now it took 4 attemps to connect to a full 3g signal. It will say it is connected but wont load any pahes. If this has happened in the past a disconnect and reconnect will fix it straight away, but took 4 times on this occasion. working fine now though.

Just posting my observations. please do not take this as criticism. I'm very impressed by the whole thing so far. Thank you.

Both my and my friend's phone do this randomly ever since PR 1.2 at least. IMO, not a CSSU issue. Battery pull FTW.

Okay I experienced this today:

After I installed the CSSU I started with tweaking the transtitions. I used meamodder and theme customizer. After I used those programs I had lost the zaxisrotation and forcerotation. So I started to add the next rules at the end of the transitions.ini:

zaxisrotation = 1
forcerotation = 1

I did this within the next files:

/opt/theme-customizer/transitions.ini
/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
/etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini

Whithin that order. With every change I first tried killall hildon-desktop and noticed that, that didn't work and then rebooted the phone. After I did all this I opened all these transitions.ini one at a time and saved them again and did every time a killall hildon-desktop. The last thing I did was adding those lines to a blank transitions.ini that I found in /etc/hildon/theme/ and did a killall hildon-desktop command. This resulted in a reboot loop. I am not sure whether you guys can do something with this feedback, but I was just sharing my experience. Before I started messing around with meamodder and theme customizer the CSSU version of Maemo was grate! I am going to reflash now and install the CSSU again I think but then without using meamodder for the transitions and theme customizer because there is still some work in there.

Make sure (as per my earlier post) that they are in the [thp_tweaks] section of the transitions.ini which will not exist in MaeModder transitions.ini files. So the bottom of your file should read:

Code:

[thp_tweaks]
zaxisrotation = 1 
forcerotation = 1

I have added this to the wiki.

Do you think there is a way to do this? I can startup the phone and then put it in mass storage mode and it will stay on without rebooting. Would it be possible to put those lines in the transitions files?

Just edit whichever transitions file you use in /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/[name of transition]/transitions.ini using vi (or whichever text editor you prefer). You can't access that directory via mass storage, no, but if you REALLY need to modify it on your pc:

Code:

cp -p /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/plastic/transitions.ini /home/user/MyDocs/transitionstemp.ini

Connect to your pc, edit transitionsTemp.ini. Disconnect from your pc then

cp -p /home/user/MyDocs/transitionstemp.ini /opt/MaeModder/conf/transitions/plastic/transitions.ini

Really though, you may as well just do it on your phone with LeafPad (or vi if you're comfortable with it)
