Thanks so much for the work on locking portrait mode. I am looking forward to seeing this ability in the CSSU.

More Info:
Inability to lock portrait mode has been a big "bug" for me since I got my n900 in 2010!

See Bug 11950:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11950

Which has been left as:
Seems like there is a patch already!

well imo, only as a user, i love this hd..when i lock the hd in portrait the button says «landscape orientation locked», maybe it would be better to just say «orientation locked»..and when i reboot with hd locked in portrait, on top of a table, it boots in landscape, but if i turn it to portrait it stays imediately locked in portrait mode..so...besides this minor issues...awsome work!..hope it gets fast to cssu testing as it obviously gives a dependencies error in xterm(with latest cssu testing installed of course)..

I've come across slight problem i've installed this but i cant use separate wallpaper for landscape and portrait which i was able to do with hildon desktop used in cssu is there any way we can both features so we get portrait lock and separate wallpaper for both portrait and landscape! Please!

of course you cant..that feature only appeared with latest cssu hd upgrade..if you install this .deb you are actually downgrading..we are supposed to test the portrait lock feature and hope it can be soon included in an cssu upgrade in near future..for now you have to choose..either portrait lock or portrait and landscape separate wallpapers...

Oh well atleast its in the works so its all about wait i'll just wait! Just hope its available sooner than later!

yeah..thought this would be included in latest upgrade, but it wasnt, maybe some technical complication..or cssu didnt find it worth it..i dunno..waiting as well..

working like a charm i dont have the applet just i need to turn my phone thank you guys
and i dont have CSSU

Is there some way I can help generate some more momemtum for locking portait mode being included in the CSSU?

Looking forward to the next CSSU release.

At any rate, I installed locking portrait mode successfully with instructions from the first post (Adding Thanks to l32606). Looks like instructions are there to revert back to the CSSU version if need be too, though I haven't tried.

apparently is not to be included in cssu updates anymore

I loved this package and the way my phone was locked in portrait and still supports the blacklist at the same time. it's what I've always wanted. but Sadly I've been experiencing random sudden reboots since i installed this as well as other problems.
I tried reverting back by installing the CSSU HD package as mentioned in the 1st page but no go. is there any other way folks? reflashing is pain in the *** right now cuz if I backup using backup menu I'm afraid this package will remain there.

thanx in advance!
