Revision as of 03:32, 24 February 2011

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 Comments
Backup Fully Usable N/A
Calculator Not Usable The keys don't align to the portrait mode
Calendar Not Usable
Camera Semi-usable Display is buggy, Photo is taken correctly
Clock Semi-usable Icons are not rearranged. Can't access "World Clock"
Contacts Semi-usable Crashed on editing of contact.
Conversations Semi-Usable Needs to scrolls horizontally to read the full message and the delete button is not visible whilr viewing a single message.
Media Player Semi-usable Icons are not rearranged.
Phone Fully Usable Add new contact UI error
MicroB (Web) Semi-Usable 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, except the bookmark button (hidden behind the little arrow by address bar) and the Full screen button (vanished).
Hildon-Desktop Not Available
Task Switcher Not Available Part of hildon-desktop
Settings Fully Usable N/A
Photo Viewer Semi-Usable Viewing photos is buggy. The system get confused which direction to show image and thus image rotates haphazardly
File Manager Fully Usable N/A
Hildon Application Manager (HAM) Fully Usable When portrait mode looses colour and when back in landscape there is flicker and takes time to rearrange
Modest (email) Fully Usable There is an issue with the size of the New Message button which is fixed when it's clicked
Notes Fully Usable N/A
Xterminal Fully Usable Rotation from portrait to landscape generates a large amount of "blank" space between the last lines of the history, and the current command-input line.
