Hello,
How can I make the incoming call screen portrait mode only?

I got the latest CSSU, there is the portrait mode option but its not what I want.

I want to make the incoming call screen (only this screen) always stay in portrait mode and never even try to switch itself into portrait while in call.

The reason is:
When I get call, I pick my phone from my pocket for example, and I hold it in portrait mode, but then instead of showing the buttons they disappear then its try to make it landscape mode then it decide to leave it as portrait and when I want to hit the closest wall with that N900 its finally set.
because of this funny thing I hit 'reject' like 30% of the time
Its freaking me out! My phone is lucky I don't get too much calls per day so its still in one piece.

Please help me, I don't familiar with the system source code. (I only managed to add the restart button).
any guide or something will help.

Thanks!

Just go to phone -> tap upper bar -> flip actions -> screen directions.

With standard Maemo (i.e. no CSSU) you go to the phone app, tap on the title bar, select "turning control" and then choose "portrait" display orientation.

Don't know if/how CSSU respects or breaks that setting. Worth a test.

The latest CSSU-testing should respect the Phone application settings.

I use stable CSSU and it respects the phone settings.
But if liked landscape with CSSU use/install:
status-area-orientationlock-applet.
Note that after installing applet via apt-get/ HAM/ FAM, desktops&app menu turns potrait/landscape .
Assuming those didn't flip after CSSU installation.

Thank you for the answers!

My phone is already set to portrait, I tested it now (first time after installing the latest CSSU) and for now it seems to work fine, but maybe when the media player is on it make it slower or when n900 is on for long time its start to work slowly...
I will report soon

Thanks!
