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
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.
Conversations Semi-Usable Forced Needs to scrolls horizontally to read the full message and the 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 Not Available N/A
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 There is an issue with the size of the New Message button which is fixed when it's clicked and 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
Task Switcher Not Available N/A Part of hildon-desktop
Settings Fully Usable Supported N/A
Xterminal Fully Usable Forced 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.
