Google Map 5.0.0

[Guest superutp]

I can find 3d building. Just no two finger spin.

yup same here...

funnily enuf in the uk...birmingham shows up with 3d buildings but not london...:)

[Guest zeiger]

Ok so to get it working is put the new XML in /etc/permissions/ (do i need to delete the old XML android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml)

and go to etc/permissions/ handheld_core_hardware.xml file by adding this line <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml" />

Can i do this using root explorer?

[Guest leinert1]

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

It does for me. I am running 318. :)

[Guest gilrad]

I'm also getting no luck with twist; I added the xml and created a new line in the permissions file and everything.

Running 1.5

[Guest jnovello]

I'm on Steve's 1.5.1 and after watching the walk through from pocket lint I find that it does rotate if you do it as they show. It doesn't go around completely in some places.

Me either, am on 1.5.1, tried everything. I even try deleting original XML, still doesn't want to rotate for me. Tough luck

This is what you do to get it working. Open root explorer and navigate to /etc/permissions then at the top of root explorer click the Mount R/W button. Now scroll down and long press on handheld_core_hardware.xml and select Open in Text Editor from the menu.

Scroll down in the text editor till you see this section:

	<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 you have to do is add a few lines to the end of that so it looks like this:

	<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" />

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

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

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

Hit the menu button and select Save & Exit then reboot and enjoy rotation in maps. :)

For the 3D buildings, I went to Vancouver, BC, Canada as a reference (my hometown).

At first there were no 3D buildings - I tried everything, except zoom in almost all the way!

Here are the criterias to get the 3d buildings to show:

- go to a city with 3D buildings

- turn off "terrain"

- turn off "satellite"

- zoom in almost all the way~

As a test reference, try this with BC Place in Vancouver, BC (or anywhere in Downtown)

brilliant....worked for me...I just needed to edit the touchscreen multitouch distinct line..it had somehow been disabled......thanks...;)

[Guest haynesteve]

Edited handheld_core_hardware.xml and added the extra lines for touchscreen - and it's made no difference :) Am I missing something else ? You only have to add the 3 extra lines ?

And is the line <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" /> needed twice ?

Double checked, turns out my problem was a bit of mis-typing (forgot to close the " mark, and I added an .xml extention)

Its working now!

Haha I didn't even notice i put it in there twice. Doesn't seem to matter. I see you got it working in a later post.

I never copied that file in the second post to my Streak. Just did what I showed in my previous post and it worked fine... ;)
