I tried to have an app in portrait (SeriesFinale) then used the long-press in Shortcutd to launch Phone, which is also set to always-portrait. It swapped to landscape, shown me the wait-a-second- thing, then flipped back.
This happens with everything I tested. Not one can stay in portrait. OTOH, I think that starting an app switches windows, which probably passes through exposee or desktop momentarily, which are landscape - maybe that's why.
first of all, AMAZING WORK! im loving the main menu in portrait mode
is there anyway we can set the default style of all application to portrait? some of the applications are taking long to open up just because the application is switching from landscape to portrait (which takes time)
If this is possible then i believe maemo will become a bit more fluent and snappier.
what doesnt
-calendar - monthly and weekly views dont display. task view its good. (verified)
-battle gweled - it start but nothing happens when i hit play. (sorry, uninstalled, but standard Gweled rotates and work, but screen is cut)
-Blocks- doesnt start after play (verified)
, probably true for every game(not verified)
* Chess starts fine (rotates to landscape when new game is pressed - Ctrl+Shift+R pauses)
* Mahjong starts fine (rotates to landscape when new game is pressed- Ctrl+Shift+R pauses)
-petrovich doesnt even open. Petrovich is deprecated. The functionality is embedded in File Manager since PR 1.2 or so. 1.1?
ETA: Ha, I used italic to separate my additions and it makes no sense now. Fixed to bold.
- While in landscape, I touch the menu, and then I go to a category, let's say, games.
- If I rotate the phone to portrait, instead of keeping the game category, menu goes back to main menu.
The same behaviour happens in the opposite way: if I open a category in portrait mode, if I turn the phone to landscape, I shows again the main menu.
