N900 Portrait - Conversations SMS Images Settings

N900 with Portrait Support


In this video I am using proximity sensor to activate portrait mode.

You can also use Camera button.

The latest version of shortcutD in extras-devel adds this functionality.



Installation:

1. install shortcutd from extras-devel
2. install proximityd from extras-devel
3. go to settings and configure the app (it is at the bottom)

you can set portrait shortcut to camera button or proximity sensor

Symbian or maemo, it doesnt matter, its not smooth and thats a must for modern smartphones (at least for me).

[Shen357]

how



[BKillerUZ]

How do you use the proximity sensor to activate the forced rotation? That's really useful

[bogdy3003]

Its not running smooth at all. I realy dont know any symbian device that runs smooth.

@KingofArmA i see your point in that the n900 is essentially an internet tablet....however, i often find maself wanting to send an IM or SMS while I've got sumthing in the other hand; lanscape makes this almost impossible. Most ppl would primarily use the landscape but there are few times when potrait mode is needed

[KingofArmA]

portrait mode is unnecessary on the n900

landscape makes much more fun
