Hi all members of TMO,
due to the recent release of the CSSU and Hildon Desktop Portrait, a new feature appeared: A tip to Blacklist some apps to make them stay as landscape.
As it is not evident to know what application remains to what name in the N900 (i mean Maemo OS), I would like to start this thread, with the help of everybody to list all the applications they have and list their name in the maemo OS here, at least for the applications they know.
If we succeed to have a big list, one can create a wiki page to sum up everything. This way, it will be easy to find what application to blacklist or even what application to uninstall with x-Terminal for example!

This is a work in progress, Let's wait for a proper Blacklist GUI to get rid of this thread!

You can check the wiki link HERE to see Portrait compatibility for Applications.

For the moment, there are two options to See the names of these applications.

First option (Thanks to kaos_king)

Code:
dpkg -l
This lists all the applications installed in the N900 but it's a bit weird because it only lists the latest applications (Alphabetically)

Second Option (Thanks to AlMehdi)

Code:
maemo-list-user-packages | awk '{print $1}'
I think that this command lists only the application installed by the user. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Best to Use IMO.

Third Option (Thanks to hxka) but I did not test it yet

Install x11-utils. Run
Code:
xlsclients
This will give you a list of applications connected to X server.


How to put apps to white/Blacklist??

According to these posts, you must modify the transition.ini file, located in usr/share/hildon-desktop/

This is how is could work:
Both whitlist and blacklist will be supported. But there will be only one of those in transisition.ini. (The other one would be commented out). So, if someone has the line saying
Code:
blacklist=xxx yyy zzz
#whitelist = aaa bbb ccc
then the apps in the list will be blacklisted. And viceversa

However, if some doofus of a user has both enabled, then hildon could revert to a default of accepting only whitelist and ignoring the blacklist.

I think this way both camps can be satisfied. Opinions...?

or
whitelist = appname1 appname2

example "whitelist = osso-browser" or "blacklist = mediaplayer"

It was "Internal Names" that got me confused lol.

My suggestion is "Package Names of All Maemo Applications"

As a side note, how do i get the task switcher to always be landscape? Sometimes it goes portrait and looks a little messed up. I never use my phone in portrait and so want all apps/screens to be landscape.

Cd to /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and examine the desktop files, especially the lines that start with Exec=

The package names won't necessarily match the executable names.

Did you forced portrait for application under CSSU configuration??

'Force rotation Enabled' is not ticked in cssu tuner, is that what you mean?
