BTW, would anyone have a problem with this? (it requires a patched hildon-desktop, so will require the CSSU)


(This being orientation lock)

(Ideally, orientation would use the front camera and do face recognition on the person looking at it: i.e. ▶ vs ▼)

All you have to do is:
- upgrade the Theme Customizer to 0.9-69
- run these commands in terminal after upgrade:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall hildon-home

- reboot the phone or run Theme Customizer to get new hildon-home restarted and you should have 9 desktops available.

Note that this will make the "resize shortcut icons" funcion @ Theme Customizer useless, it won't work.

User who does not have CSSU installed won't notice any difference, they still have ability to resize the icons.

Edit: package is now in repos:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...0.9-69_all.deb

EDIT : Love the idea of lock rotate applet

2. i know for FastSMSEvo T9/qwerty keyboard fix, but i don't want to resolve issues in that manor(installing 3rd party apps, and so....) so i ask IF that form of keyboard COULD BE IMPLEMENTED a CSSU??? (both T9 an qwerty, with option to choose of course... )
