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

Hildon-Desktop Not Available
Media Player Semi-usable Icons are not rearranged.
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). The full screen button is there in the arrow's submenu, but it's hidden in the bottom part of the blank space that's there.
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

Photo Viewer Semi-Usable Viewing photos is buggy. The system get confused which direction to show image and thus image rotates haphazardly
