    I'm also seeing the Settings app and App Manager auto-rotating without force rotation on.

    Yes, I think everyone understands asking end-users to hand-edit a .ini file is not ideal :-)

    I think I was the first to notice that ill effect. Good to know I'm not the only one.

    You could check what settings you have in your 'Phone' app regarding rotation, and if those have any effect on the behavior?

    What ill-effect? Just like microb, Phone, Conboy, Khweeteur, TwimGo, ...; Settings and Application Manager both properly support portrait mode now. "Force rotation" forces rotation on things which don't support it (yet), such as Conversations, Media Player etc.

    It is intended behaviour that Settings and HAM will rotate out-of-the-box (i.e. with "force rotation" off) with the CSSU.

    Some applications which support portrait provide per-app settings as to whether or not they should be always landscape, always portrait or auto-rotate. Some don't.

    Currently, neither Settings nor HAM do. Please file a bug if you think they should.

    I have tested this but just re-wrote it on my computer so sorry for any typos. Just get queenbeecon to run this:

    Code:
    sed -e 's/forcerotation=0/tmpstr/' -e 's/forcerotation=1/forcerotation=0/' -e 's/tmpstr/forcerotation=1/' /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini > tmpFile
    mv tmpFile /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
    This code looks through transitions.ini and flips the forcerotation variable between 1 and 0. So all you'd have to do is copy that text into a file, chmod +x it, and tell queenbeecon to use it.

    There's probably a much better way of doing this so that it prints out what state it has changed to, and could also be changed to add the line if it isn't there, but I didn't have time so this is a pretty basic flipper for now.

    EDIT: Better version

    Is there any update to libraries/tools in the CSSU?

    I would suggest:
    - APT
    - PulseAudio
    - Kernel Power with Bleeding Edge Wifi drivers, substituting PR1.3 Kernel.
    ....

    I'm really excited with this development, still trying to compile some stuff by myself and start hacking with newer libraries.

    Yeah, I knew it was expected behaviour, and it certainly doesn't cause any major issues. I'd just prefer an option to disable it.

    I think every single app I use which supports rotation has the option, and I think it ought to be available for everything which supports rotation. I'd really prefer a system-wide setting, with the option of then using the system-wide setting throughout or overriding on a per-app basis - I'm not sure how feasible that'd be though.

    I've filed enhancement requests for hildon-menu and hildon-control-panel (there isn't currently a component for HAM, and as I hardly ever use it I don't really care about that one):

    probably a stupid question but why write to tmpfile first and not directly to transitions.ini?

    btw, wouldn't that not work? most of those values also require a killall hildon-desktop after

    Uninstall theme customizer?
