Portrait mode can now be forced on all applications as part of the Community SSU. Not all applications work perfectly. Details of the compatibility of applications with portrait mode is compiled below.
The purpose of forcerotation is not to enable system-wide portrait for end-users.
System Applications
| Application | Status | Rotation | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backup | Fully Usable | N/A | |
| Calculator | Not Usable | Forced | The keys don't align to the portrait mode |
| Calendar | Not Usable | Forced | Events usable. Week view cuts off on Thursday. Month view can be seen if opened in landscape first, also cuts of on Thursday. Both month and week views do not span the full screen vertically. |
| Camera | Semi-Usable | Forced | Display is buggy, Photo is taken correctly |
| Clock | Semi-usable | Forced | Icons are not rearranged. Can't access "World Clock" |
| Contacts | Semi-Usable | Forced | Crashes on editing of contact. See #11999. |
| Conversations | Semi-Usable | Forced | Needs to scrolls horizontally to read the full message. See this for portrait supported conversation themes. Or run this script to add portrait mode support for conversations.
Delete button is not visible while viewing a single message. See #11976. |
| File Manager | Fully Usable | Forced | N/A |
| Hildon Application Manager (HAM) | Fully Usable | Supported | Themes don't provide colourful background |
| Hildon-Desktop | Unusable | Manually - Forced | Portrait mode can be enabled using ctrl+shift+blue arrow+L. But can't rearrange icons/widgets as of now.
|
| Media Player | Semi-Usable | Forced | Icons are not rearranged. |
| MicroB (Web) | Usable | Supported | When using built-in auto-rotation, ui elements such as address and status bar are unaccessible. When rotated by hildon ('enabled rotation' off in it's settings), just about all UI elements are usable; the bookmark button and the full screen button is there in the arrow's submenu, but they're invisible at the top and bottom halves of the small blank space that's there. |
| Modest (email) | Semi-Usable | Forced | Dialogues, such as "Message Details" are compressed. |
| Notes | Fully Usable | Forced | N/A |
| Phone | Fully Usable | Supported | Add/Edit new contact UI unusable. |
| Photo Viewer | Semi-Usable | Forced | Viewing photos is buggy. The system get confused which direction to show image and thus image rotates haphazardly |
| Settings | Fully Usable | Supported | N/A |
| Task Switcher | Not Available | N/A | Part of hildon-desktop |
