I have this patch installed.

I had incoming call today, pulled out my Jolla and pulled screen to answer...

  • Hello! Hello! I can't hear you!

Damn, phone app was rotated too so I hold my Jolla with the mic pressed to my ear :)

Hi, this kind of problem, should be put forward to the author of the application, in this case @coderus. I use the UI Rotate Free app myself and have yet to experience any problems, but I will look out for what you've said.

There is no any problem as you can see.

@Markkyboy, Yes, that was first thing I did - https://openrepos.net/comment/10256#comment-10256

Nice anecdote but as @coderus say, it just proves that his patch works.

Thanks for the head-up though :-)

Sure it works. It works too good. This is just warning :)

Edit: The patch of patch is here! Allowing any orientations except inverted portrait to avoid taking phone upside-down.


I just want to mention that I respect the works @coderus is doing in developing apps and patches. This patch is great either and I like it. Personally I don't like inverted portrait for phone, but the patch is so useful that I couldn't ignore it, so I tried to modify it as I wished.

Unapply the patch, edit the file /usr/share/patchmanager/patches/sailfishos-uirotate-free/unified_diff.patch. On the 10th line you see:

+        return Orientation.All

You need to replace it with:

+        return Orientation.Portrait | Orientation.Landscape | Orientation.LandscapeInverted
