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
Camera Semi-usable Display is buggy, Photo is taken correctly
Clock Semi-usable Icons are not rearranged. Can't access "World Clock"
Media Player Semi-usable Icons are not rearranged.
Contacts Semi-useable Crashed on editing of contact.
Phone Fully Usable Add new contact UI error
Conversation Fully Usable Needs to scrolls horizontally to read the full message.
Calendar Not Usable
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).

Task Switcher Not Available Part of hildon-desktop

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