Hey Guys, Good Going with this thread... I have a question.... How is it that i can add these softwares/Apps into the blacklist/whitelist? Which file actually maintains this? I was not able to read the entire CSSU Thread which is currently more than 450 pages, so if anyone knows this, I'd be thankful for the knowledge...

You must add these apps after blacklist line in the transition.ini file, located in usr/share/hildon-desktop/
Do it as ejasmudar mentioned in the following post:

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...?

I did not tested it yet, so I can't confirm.

Stop. Install x11-utils. Run

Code:

xlsclients

This will give you a list of applications conneted to X server.
What does your list of packages?

Anybody knows the name to put in the whitelist for the virtual keyboard? I would like most of the applications to stay in landscape (so force rotate is disabled) and keep a whitelist for certain applications. The browser is on my whitelist but when i enter a textfield the virtual keyboard shows up in landscape.. So i need to know the name of the 'binairy' of the keyboard. Thanks.

maemoblocks and angrybirds still rotate for me, although others like calculator, camera, xterm, calander, worldclocks listen to the blacklist

hi, if you want to maintain your app in landscape mode you have to add the lines to both files (/usr/share/hildon-desktop and /usr/share/theme/<your theme name>) so that both files are having all the new options.

furthermore put the line under this forme: blacklist = xxx yyy zzz

Thanks Kayamagan for this tip. As I said, I did not tested it yet. I'm reading other post to see if this feature get stabilized. Don't Hesitate to post your feedbacks and other application Names.
Thanks!!

is there a limit to how many apps i can add to the blacklist/whitelist?

take fmradio for example. i don't know if either i am using a wrong exectuable name or the list is full bcoz everything i listed after fmradio isn't working either.

Angrybirds should be angrybirds
Angry Birds Rio should be com-rovio-angrybirdsrio
Angry Birds Seasons should be angrybirdsseasons

Maemoblocks should be maemoblocks
but you could also try br.org.indt.maemoblocks.startup or maemoblocks_startup or even game_ap_blocks_name

Not sure though...

Greetz,
