Testing Unity8 Full Shell Rotation
In order to deliver a more rick and usable Unity8 experience, we want to enable full shell rotation. We need to make sure that all the shell components rotate and are accessible by the user. Likewise, we need to stay put in cases where the application has a fixed orientation. Also, thought it's low risk, it would be good to make sure we do not regress our Unity8 desktop experience.
The key areas to scrutinize: Does the shell follow what you as a user would think with respect to application orientation ? Is it animating nicely ? Does it behave properly with respect to orientation locking ?
Don't forget to help us determine how many people participated by simply listing your name and test environment here at FullShellRotationTesterList
How do I know I'm running Full Shell Rotation ?
Currently the easiest way to determine if you are running QtComp besides checking the packages is to open a few applications, right hand long swipe to place into "spread" mode. If you can quit an app by swiping up or down then you are running QtComp.
Known Limitations
The code is actively being worked, this section will continue to be updated as the state of the code improves.

How To Test
We're using a ppa based on vivid https://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+archive/ubuntu/demo-stuff
note: we will continue to polish & fix bugs we find on the branches, so the packages may update. And there may be a need to rebuild them to work with the very latest.
Steps to install
- flash your device with the latest devel-proposed image, assuming you're already setup, connect your host machine to device usb
host-computer$ ubuntu-device-flash --channel=devel-proposed --wipe --developer-mode --password=1111
for more information on devices, flashing & setup see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
NOTE After flashing you'll probably want to give the image a test drive before proceeding to adding the PPA. Especially if you're not familiar with the applications and what how rotation currently operates.
Don't forget to connect to the network & make writable
host-computer$ phablet-network
host-computer$ phablet-config writable-image
- Add the PPA to your device
host-computer$ phablet-shell
device$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:unity-team/demo-stuff
respond to the prompt.
device$ sudo apt-update
device$ sudo apt-dist upgrade
respond to the prompt.
host-computer$ adb reboot
- In the instance you are testing the Unity8-desktop-session, you would follow similar installation like so
desktop$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:unity-team/demo-stuff
follow the prompt,
desktop$ apt-get update
and then do:
desktop$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Don't forget to use ppa-purge to remove and downgrade unwanted packages after testing. Note, failing to do so could pull in unknown packages in the future as silos are reused for other package landings. To install and use ppa-purge
desktop$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
desktop$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/demo-stuff
follow any prompts.
What to test
Just about anything. But primarily, this is a change on Ubuntu phone pertains to orientation changes. Good things to test are rotating various applications, selecting/unselecting the orientation lock with System Settings, application switching, interacting with the right hand spread, interaction with the ubuntu-keyboard/OSK, interaction with the indicator panel, bottom edge interactions within applications, and general shell interaction.
In the instance of Unity8 desktop session it is primarily testing to ensure no regression creeps in. So general shell and application interaction that is possible today on the Unity8 desktop session.
We would expect all behaviors of the applications to remain the same as before introducing this change.
Logging Bugs
If you find what you think is a bug potentially due to this change, please check the known bugs for this silo first. You can check here FullShellrotationBugList. Please use the tag "fullshellrotation". Please note the applications you've launched, in order, specific application visual issues or interactions. Also, please note the version of the packages you tested since we plan to be updating those as we fix bugs. You can do this by noting in the bug output from
device-phablet$ apt-cache policy unity8 qtmir-android qtubuntu-android
Or in the case of Unity8 desktop session bugs
device-phablet$ apt-cache policy unity8 qtmir-desktop qtubuntu-desktop
You can note the image number for Ubuntu phone from
host-machine$ adb shell system-image-cli -i
