It seem like twist to rotate doesn't work. Everything else is working.

Is it a streak problem?

The steps below solved the same problem on my Advent vega ...

1) grab this .xml (http://www.multiupload.com/1JWKYPHZNM)

2) adb remount

3) adb push android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml /etc/permissions/

4) adb reboot

hope it works ....

But is the 2 finger twist to rotate working on your streak?

...yeah, as I said - everything is working according to Google's online help / description page.

I'm on the official Dell Streak Froyo without any mods.

Its handling well on mine too, its just that twist to rotate doesn't work. So it work for yours?

Btw, i try the method that nigelpwilson mention but doesn't really work and it sorted of messed up the pinch to zoom and the 2 finger drag down/up tilt function even after i put back the original file. So i have to reflash 1.5.1 again. Just a reminder

tried the XML above, made twist to rotate work on StreakDroid 1.5.1Beta (dont know if any changes were made before final 1.5.1)

however, I'm having weird problems where I reverse pinch to zoom in, it does the opposite and zooms out... not the first time I'm had that problem with previous versions of maps, this happens randomly.

At least yours work, i tried the XML and it doesn't work it even break the pinch and zoom function for the map and dolphin browser. Really weird, works for you but not for me... :)

I copied it with awesome drop (I hate unplugging my charger, its behind my couch), mounted /system as r/w, copied it as root in a terminal... worked fine after reboot, both the standard and Miren browser work fine for pinch to zoom, rotate works in GMaps5, but pinch to zoom is flakey and will rapidly zoom out when trying to zoom in (although I've seen this a few versions ago) I'm actually blaming the streak hardware and/or decent drivers for the touch panel.

I have the 318_00 installed and the 2 finger twist to rotate is working fine.

Can someone post the contents of that xml? Ideally inside code brackets

 (most right hand icon above)

Can't grab it on my streak.

Can compare against the usual permissions.

Scratch that, on steves you either need to alter etc/permissions/ handheld_core_hardware.xml

These are the 319 permission in that file,

	<feature name="android.hardware.camera" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.camera.flash" />	

	<feature name="android.hardware.location" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.compass" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.bluetooth" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.microphone" />	

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.light" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.proximity" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.telephony.gsm" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />	

	<feature name="android.hardware.wifi" />
Versus steves 151
  

	<feature name="android.hardware.camera" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.location" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.compass" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.bluetooth" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />

	<feature name="android.hardware.microphone" />

all we need to do is write the name of wanted permissions in the file??

edit:

Woohoo!!!

I edited the etc/permissions/ handheld_core_hardware.xml file by adding this line <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml" />

And offcourse, before that I coppied attached file to the streak like the 2nd post stated and now twist works in Google Maps :)

Is anyone else not getting the 3d buildings? Perhaps I'm missing something

no, replacing this permissions file fixes the rotation, but I have yet to see any 3d buildings (using downtown chicago as reference) on StreakDroid 1.5.1 Beta.
