I found it, and got it working. Its great to take photos in portrait again without glitches.

I find the new HD working verygood sofar.

Sorry but I have an other question..:confused: I want to install it now. I did it through the terminal and it asks me now if i want to install the package maintainer's version, keep my currently-installed version (of transitions.ini), show the diferences between the version or backround this process to eximine the situation...
which one have i choose to?!

install the package maintainer's version and reboot, it works great

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

OK managed to do the blacklist. Looks like transitions.ini was in more than one places. Change all of them and now works as expected.

Could you help me to blacklist ZapLoc?

This is what ps gives:

2303 user 114m S /usr/bin/python /opt/zaploc/zaploc.py

What sholud be added to blacklist it? I've tried with zaploc, but did not work.

zaploc.py? python?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

This was the same in my case. I suspect because I use the theme-customiser package.

For reference, they were in:

/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
/opt/usr/share/themes/$MY_THEME/transitions.ini

Edit this file:

Code:

/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini

And look for the line begining with:

Code:

blacklist =

change it to this (it should be in one line, not wrapped as in the codebox below:

Code:

blacklist = mediaplayer osso-xterm worldclock image-viewer camera-ui Calendar nokia-maps osso_calculator

Start CSSU Features (powerbutton meny) to and press update to active the changes.
(the error you get when loading CSSU Features is normal)

By that you have dissabled rotation for:
Mediaplayer
X-terminal
Worldclock
Image viewer
Camera
Calendar
Ovi Maps
Calculator.

I guess a GUI to blacklist apps would be nice.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Guys, just to make one thing clear, if you see a blacklisted/landscape application that has dialog while in task navigator to look ugly, close your eyes and don't report a problem, hildon-desktop you are using requires an updated GTK library. This library will be a part of the next CSSU, whenever it is released (should be soon).

While it looks strange, It is not a bug.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Great job!!! It works fine!
toxaris: i think that an app is useless , probably you use it only once and stop may be the author of cssu gui add this feature in his app. imho

Only when you're using separate wallpapers for portrait mode. Which is, in this particular build, disabled.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Hello guys
I have not installed CSSU and vertical scrolling does not work! I inform you of this if you were not aware of. Everything else works perfectly!

For those who did not install CSSU here is a list useful for blocking certain applications:

ForecaWeather blacklist: Foreca-weather-real
blacklists Calendar: Calendar
Blacklists Conky: Conky
Calculator blacklist: osso_calculator_engine
WebOS blacklist: preenv
SIB blacklist: sib
KMPlaer blacklist: kmplayer

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

I just noticed that the new version also allows you to change the wallpaper correctly in portrait mode. This was a big feature for me as I have a script to change it every 10 minutes and had to write a bunch of tests to work out which may up the phone was before trying to change the wallpaper.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

I second this, It will be pretty nice looking

but also please make it configurable, so people who doesn't want this can disable it.

also, please try fixing the wrong sub-menu level change that occurs when the device is rotated.

this is apparent if you have catorise or appmefo, if you choose games for example then rotate the device, you are back at the main menu, while it's not that bad for one level change, it becomes annoying if you have sub-sub-sub menus !

ex. root_menu>games>pregames>arcade>

then you rotate the device, and you are back at the root_menu !

thanks in advance !!

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

I am not entirely happy with the current blacklist method...

Here is my point:
Most apps are build specific for portrait, landscape or both. In almost all cases that's the way I want them to act. Just keep forcefotation =0 (disabled) one would say.

BUT: some applications (like modest) do scale very good in portrait although made landscape only.

Those few applications I would like to mark for autorotate.

In the current situation I would have to mark huge amount of applications not to autorotate (all except the ones I would like to autorotate).

I would be very helped if I could mark the application (in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini) I want to autorotate, like
apps_force_rotate = modest, ...

Do more people feel this way?

Then your transition.ini havnt been replaced, replace it with transitions.ini.dpkg-dist (i think you need to be root)

Code:

cd /usr/share/hildon-desktop

ls

(does transitions.ini.dpkg-dest excist? if note, dont continue).

cp transitions.ini transitions.ini.bak

rm transitions.ini

cp transitions.ini.dpkg-dist transitions.ini

reboot, run CSSU Features and then edit the new transitions.ini

surprise, I dont have transitions.ini.dpkg-dist. I am pretty sure I installed new version, I even tried vertical scrolling and it run smoothly, but turned back to horizontal scrolling, thought it is easier.

Whats next? Reinstall?

What is added/changed with new version btw, only blacklist and vertical scrolling feature? (Not underestimating, dont get me wrong, you guys doing great job. I didnt see a changelog so asking now.)

Did you reboot even if you got the error?
Actually I dont know if transitions.ini i vital for the phone to boot.
Could be.
But to get the phone to boot regular again is beyond my knowloge, Im sorry for causing you trouble.
I do know that a reflash would get your phone up and running again, but that is quite drastic.
Maybe someone else know how to fix it?

When I installed the new HD i made the choice to leave the transistions.ini as is, so to get the new settings for blacklisting i copied the file transitions.ini.dpkg-dest wich I hade in that folder.
And I thought that the transitions.ini.dpkg-dest was a file that everyone have in that folder.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Does

Code:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/portrait_wallpaper -t bool true

enable the extra portrait background image? Or do we have to wait for new hildon-home?

If this enables portrait wallpapers, where do I put the images and how do I name them?

there is an app called FastSMSevo, that works quite good.
But i agreen, a rewrite of built-in virtual keyboard would be nice.
