Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

There are some Bugs :

I cant watch the photos which were taken by the camera(only after a reboot), my phone application is freezing sometimes and my tracker-cfg isnt work anymore (the media files arent updated if i add an nowatchdirectory. it could even come from battery and speedpatch)

it would be great if contacts were autorotated.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Please DO NOT enable portrait wallpapers. Some people report it causes reboot loop, but for the others it works. So it's under investigation. Moreover, this functionality requires new hildon-home.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

How do I reinstall the last update?

I've installed it with dpkg -i but, I did not include the transitions.ini, I kept mine. However, I'd like to try the recommended transitions.ini to test the blacklist.

I tried uninstalling it first, however apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop did not work because it says that "Reinstallation of hildon-desktop is not possible, it cannot be downloaded" Curious thing is that I know I'm connected to the internet and also, I successfully run apt-get update before.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

How can I uninstall this hildon desktop??

# sudo apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop; killall hildon-desktop

<- this command doesnt work!

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

You don´t type the #, right?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Oh :D Yes i did. :D
But now X-terminal say me: user is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

??

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

i think it's more like this:

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Thanks. The code works. But the desktop is still rotating! :confused:
I rebootet my device...

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

It is possible to lock the screen in portrait mode?
Like lock the orientation to portrait!!!
It would be very useful :D

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Yes, it is possible to lock the srceen in portrait mode.

Could anyone help me ans say how I can deinstall the hildon desktop??:confused:

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

possible how ? ¬¬

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

If u installed hildon portrait desktop u can lock your phone with double tapping on the power button or using the 'lock-button' while its in portrait mode...

It would be great if someone could help me by my problem :(

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

deinstall the hildon desktop:

you can:
go to xterm
sudo gainroot

1. apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop
or
2.apt-get upgrade

he will ask to upgrade to the old version of hildon-desktop
say YES
and be happy!



and by saying lock in portrait mode, i mean, "keep the screen always in portrait, always in vertical oriented, even when it is in horizontal oriented"

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Ok :)
Sorry I understood it on an other way :o

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Hi
I´ve install the update and reboot and now my phone start in a perpetual reoot loop, I don`t want to flash it what can I do ?
Please help

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

reboot loop? that's a problem i don't think that is other way than reflash, may if you had backupmenu, if not, flash only

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

you must install rootfs from repos with HAM or FAM. :)
if you did, you must type "root" first. :) after that you'll get root privileges :)

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Yes I know that I need rootsh. :)
But I can't deinstall it!:confused: I tried everything you said...

I tried this:
-----------------------------------
sudo gainroot

1. apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop
or
2.apt-get upgrade

-> it doesnt ask me if i want install old hildon-desktop...
-----------------------------------
root
apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop
killall hildon-desktop
------------------------------------

After this operations I rebootet my device more than 1 time and the Desktop is still rotating... :confused:

I want to deinstall it because it causes problems with indexing of media files... I noticed that afer installation of hildon desktop portrait mode.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Yes I know that this is just a hildon desktop tread, but ain't onscreen keyboard somehow connected with it?

3G calling would be the last thing I would ask for. Don't need it.

I know that handwriting is nothing to do with hildon desktop. I just mentioned it, because many smart guys check this tread and I hoped to see is it even possible.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Connected??? in which point you see it connected???
Hildon Desktop Portrait Mode have no connection with onscreen keyboard...it the force rotation on CSSU that change your onscreen keyboard from landscape to portrait when you rotate you device to portrait mode...

disable the force rotation on CSSU then try using onscreen keyboard...it will stay landscape even you rotate your device thousand times....that is proof than onscreen keyboard doesnt connected to hildon desktop portrait mode at all....

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I see your point. I forgot about CSSU forced rotation. I should try out using onscreen keyboard with forced rotation ON.

Just tried and it was awful.

How about lockscreen? This should be connected with Hildon Desktop or I'm wrong?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I don't think the lockscreen is connected with hildon-deskop. At least it hasn't changed the lockscreen behaviour for me. For a portrait lockscreen look at the enhanced lockscreen package, or qtlockscreen.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

i heard that lockscreen is part of mce and btw is closed source

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

no one answer my question... there is a way to use "orientation lock" on vertical mode? I want my device always in portrait mode! anyone, please?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Hello just wanna report I don't know how reproductable is this but.... Whenever I shutdown and boot up my device on portrait mode(switch off the device while on portrait position and switch on the device while still on portrait) my phone causes a reboot loop.


the 3 dot loading is ok the security code lock screen is ok but when it reaches hildon-desktop it blinks and fade a couple of times and then reboots. Anybody else can reproduce this?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

always in portrait mode??? WTH!!!! :eek:
do you know not all apps/program is not fully compatible with portrait mode??? still you want your device stay in portrait mode all the time???
if you do then you i suggest you solder/glue or throw away your hardware keyboard cause it will be useless if you want portrait mode always...:p

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Why blacklist, why not whitelist?
I need forced rotation only in few apps (in fact, only in FBReader), now i need to enable force rotation for everything and blacklist everything except apps i want to be rotated.
And i will need to update blacklist every time i install new program.
It's obvious what whitelist is better idea than blacklist.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

whitelist is very good idea..

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

I think having both blacklists and whitelists is an excellent idea.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Yeah but some said a few pages back that blacklist method did not worked well..;or not at all!
I too want to have fully portrait mode and only blacklist the application which does not fit in portrait!!!

EDIT: what about vertical scrolling???

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Please correct me if i'm wrong but isit blacklist & whitelist the same things????
blacklist is use to disable force rotation in same apps/program while whitelist is use to enable force rotation in same app/program....
if you puts some apps/program likes conversations in blacklist then it wont rotate even you enable force rotations right??? so if we dont puts conversations in whitelist then it wont rotate also right???
so why need whitelist when blacklist can do the same thing on the opposite way???

what ever apps/program you put in blacklist will not rotate so anything that is not listed in the blacklist will be force rotate...the same thing with whitelist...puts everything you want to force rotate & left the rest (as you listed in blacklist) & the result will be the same....

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

portrait lock would be nice and if we want landscape mode why not just slide the keyboard open?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

pusak gaoq, did you even try to read my post?
So i need to add ~100 apps to blacklist. But only one to whitelist.
Or one list acting as whitelst or blacklist depends on forced rotation enabling.
