Slightly different note, but I HATE this "rotate to portrait during call" thing. It made me reject call instead of answering thousand times (just when you hit answer, it rotates, and you're hitting "reject" instead). It breaks x11vnc due to geometry change. It lags. It sucks. It's pointless.

If any changes made by CSSU could allow to make some lock, that would force it to remain landscape *no matter what*, it would be really, really great things to have.

Bit OT, but I have both and your flopswap to manage it. I need to look into other options at some stage. More recent versions (>2) of adblock have better memory management than the pre 2.0 builds. Maybe I'll try to get a version of Privacy Badger working with Microbe at some stage.

Edit: Privacy badger doesn't install in current Microbe version. Maybe when I get a Qt5 version going.

There's always been "Turning Control" option in call-ui, Just set it to Landscape.

really :what:

Yep.

@Estel your PM's are full and your not available on IRC....

Open Phone Application
Select top menu
Select Turning Control
Select Landscape
Make sure Launch by turning is unchecked
Save

Phone app now locked to Landscape

Thanks for info about my PM box, it should be fixed now.

Anyway, either I'm supid or e have different phone-ui's I don't see a trace of "turning control" in that thing, anywhere. Could yoiu specikfy what method of "open phone application" are you reffering to?

@Others
Sorry for OT.

The Phone handset icon - brings up app called "Phone" with "Dialling pad" and "select contact" buttons with a list of recent calls below. Drop down menu from "Phone" has "Turning control" button amongst 3 others "Call timers", "Clear recent calls" and "Accounts".

Even when you lock to portrait the phone still needs to do a transition animation.
Is there a way to completely kill all turning animation or at least animation related to the phone app and just have phone app pop in portrait? That quarter second or less turning animation can get pretty bogged when you already have a few apps open and running. I often miss calls if I don't have a bluetooth headset in where I can just hit a hardware answer button.
Turning animation is pretty in funtime apps but it steals resources for sparkle at the exact time that you really need all resources available to just take the call.

Maybe edit your transitions.ini to shorten or remove animation?
We have blacklist/whiltelist for apps to rotate. Maybe we also need a noanimate list or get each app to register that it doesn't want animation for certain invocations via dbus. As phone app is closed source options are limited.

Is opensource phone ui possible ?
