I have been searching for the best and most usefull apps and came across a real nice digital compass. Of course there is no reference to if it will work on an imagio or not. All the forums say "we need actual compass hardware" for them to work. Sorry I don't know the correct terms better. but does anyone know if we can get a real compass on this thing

Here are two...try both! I know Its not the same exact but these both have extra features.
on the HDspeedo you may need to click "ok" several times b4 it loads, other than that they work flawlessly!
so does the htc imagio have a digital compass, i saw these apps for the iphone on bbc click online call augmented reality AR apps, and was wonderin if the imagio would support them once they came out for the windows mobile 6.5, if you dont know what im talkin about go to acrossair.com , it would be awsome if AR apps worked with the htc imagio/wm6.5...
I will buy this phone when an Ocarina App is avialable with multi tuch.
like the Iphone it should be simalar apps for the HD2,
Either someone start making some apps Now or create a program that can run all the iphone apps on HD2. That way everyone will be happy
Please... Can someone create an app like Ocarina.

Thank you so much in advance.
It's not so easy. Leo does not have real multi touch. WM does not support any API for that. Leo only has single touch with pinch zoom, and that's it.
Nothing like spending $800-900 for a phone just to play with a crappy flute app.
...are you sure you're in the right forum? Apple is that way ------>

Leo DOES have multi-touch.
It's nothing to do with the phone. As you state yourself "WM does not support any API for that." That is correct. Once that issue is resolved, there will be true multi-touch apps.
Like you, I'm waiting for this kind of applications for HD2, too. Can't wait to load someting similar (or exactly the same!) to iPhone's Bebot Robot Synth. Check out Jordan Rudess' videos at Youtube (keyboard player of Dream Theater).

It is different then G-sensor or compass .. because those are used in HTC applications and you can use HTC's DLL to work with that. No HTC application supports real multitouch at the moment. Until some does, I'm rather skeptical about such API.

If the hardware can do it, then the software can do it. It simply means that no-one has developed something yet.
Since the HD2 is the hardware, to state that the HD2 is not true multi-touch is incorrect. That's all I'm saying.
I don't see what this debate about not having a multitouch api and needing to use HTC DLLs is about. The ability to build multitouch applications for Leo came quite a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591698
Two-fingered drawing... means that the device can plot two points at once and not just the distance between them. And there's the demo source in the link.

That's not full multi-touch. It's dual-touch. FULL multi-touch can detect more than 2 presses at the same time. That's what we've been discussing.
No multitouch
Do you know wtf you are taliking about?
Do you even have a Leo?

There have always been crappy apps for WM, but I avoid them, as, I avoided iphone.
If iphone could multitask, you would be in real trouble running a dozen crappy apps. You would have to be constanly doing apple software conflict resolution.

I'd be happy to provide him with ocarina samples and I'm sure he'd "cab them up" for you if you ask him nicely.
Hi, anyone getting pinch to zoom to work in google map 4.1.1 on their legend?
pinch zooming is not supported as far as I know
Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
right..it's not supported...by now...
it works well on milestone for sure. I used to use a milestone.
my legend cant pinch to zoom in original google map too
But I have install maps4.1.0.4126-brut6.apk, it can be pinch to zoom
being objective
we all love our new gadgets, but we should be objective and considering the idea that this phone is crap... (by now...)
- no pinch to zoom in gmaps
- ring volume problems
- missing apps in the market
- low battery life (in italy with tim, at least)
- facebook apk not working properly (with many contacts)
- mail client with a few problems (attached files "disappear" if sent with apple mail app)
I hope htc fixes all these buggy annoing problems...
HTC Desire has newer firmware, so thatswhy it supports pinch to zoom, etc.
Hoping HTC releases the the 2.1 update 1 firmware soon.
I encountered the pinch to zoom problem (very minor think, i can live with is), and the app market problem, but we know the cause for both.
Another thing I'd like to have on my legend is the rotation of the map with the compass in google maps, do you think is possible?

i question whether they will update it with an updated 2.1 or if they will just wait for 2.2 and update straight to froyo cause apparently its not far off
No info
I sent a mail to HTC about the possibility of the update, but they can't say anything about future updates...
You can try searching the forum for the google map brut r6 it enables pinch zoom. I installed out and out works without any issues.

any update?
Hi all,
Am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a Legend purchase...
Several reviews have hinted there is no pinch to zoom on Google Maps as have the posts in this thread ; fair enough - though is this feature arriving soon?
Or is it something that is simply not going to happen?
Any other users had much luck with ' brut r6 ' ? Does it differ in any way from the original Google Maps?
Any insight appreciated
actually i dont know how many people have noticed that the legend is missing alot of things from other 2.1 phones ie live wallpapers, pinch zooming in map, google earth
makes me wounder if they have done something to the legend to make it less appealing cause there really is no reason why the legend cant to live wallpapers cause the hero does it.
who knows hopefully we will get some stuff back when 2.2 is released
Pinch zooming in Google Maps is pretty desirable [no pun intended], anyone have that working or know whether the Legend will get it ?
Surely there is nothing hardware wise stopping it...
WHY people don't read other replies ?! And why don't you (all) read the forum?!?!?
There's ABSOLUTELY no probs at all having Multitouch (or pinch-to-zoom) in google maps! Go to the link below, download the apk, and get pinch-to-zoom , Google nav and so on!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Is so difficult to download an app and install it ?!?! Come on.......
And... yes...IT ALWAYS WORKS
Thanks, didn't really dive into the 'HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Android Development' subforum as I wouldn't have thought it's applicable to the Legend, if it were, it would've though it'd appear in the Legend subforum...?
Maybe that's just me though, I'm new to Android and therefore may have missed an obvious link between the two.
Thanks for the reply anyway, and for the link. And no, its not difficult to download an app and install it. Though I was asking ahead of a prospective purchase...

Welcome, mate... It's only because I've heard (read) a lot of ppl saying: "Uh...No pinch-to-zoom on GoogleMaps? No google navigator? No APP2SD? No root? No multi-touch?! Then it doesn't worth buying this phone...it sucks!" or similar things... but ALL is possible on Android, thanks to its open-source philosophy, or its huge possibilities for developers, and the GREAT support offered by communities like XDA-dev

Agreed. Good to know all of above is achievable without bricking the device...!!
I'm coming from WebOS so can fully appreciate the force of the developer community...

They never do :-(
Once I mailed them about when they would release a Sense-enabled firmware for the Magic, and the reply was something like yours.
Later the same day the update was released... so it seems to be the standard canned response, they apparently just don't care to answer that kind of questions.
Dear Amazing developers,
I am sure you have encountered this question several times but I just need to understand if I can install Android system on my HTC Trophy 7, I am hating how microsoft is hounding their users in such stupid way. Please advise.
Thank you so much
Not possible....yet. But, team from XDA.CN are working on Android ROM currently for HTC HD7. I think that if they make it for HD7, it could be done for all wp7s out there...
Here's the video about their progress.
Bye!

thank you so much, do u know an estimate or a time range?
Unfortunately noone does... I can guess that it might me avalible in let's say 1 month or more... If you ask me, I would love it to be avalible tomorrow, but i highly
doubt it happening.
We can only say thumbs up for this project and keep our fingers crossed that they
don't encounter heavy problems during the realisation of this project!
looooooool... Yep thats exactly what am doing RIGHT NOW
I can wait , just cant get into WP7 Ive tried and tried to like it but its still a 50/50 thing.
i think if the HD7 has nand Android i think its not so hard to port then Android
to Trophy and Mozart because they has the same CPU.

Why don't you just sell you WP7 phone and get yourself a new Android device ? The market price on a Trophy is as high as it's going to be, so you'll get the most for it now.
Also you don't not have to worry about Hacking Android to get it on the phone, that sometimes might not offer the best performace or hardware not working correctly.
Just wondering...
Is there anything new about putting Android on HTC Trophy, since last reply and asking about this was about the end of April..?
Thanks, and thumbs up for developers...
Nope, nothing new.
Please get yourself and stock android phone, i perfer WP7 over ANDROID everyday.
because they all have android least the trophy? Someday there will be someone dared you succeed? (before you break into pedas) jajaja
Some info to all the xda.cn video is just a fake confirmed by cotulla
anyone knows if somebody is doing it..? I mean, dooes it 'fits' on HTC Trophy..?
thanks
Why would anyone want to do this? And even more important why would anyone want to build a ROM? Screw Android. I'd rather someone make a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the Trophy instead of this crap.
I do not agree with you... I believe it would be better if android fits on HTC Trophy... That possibility would be great!

Hi Guys,
Firstly let me make it clear, I am no dev, just a 'ROM dabbler' if you will. I have minor programming experience but a good understanding of what goes into custom ROM development and more than appreciate the efforts by devs that allow me to demonstrate why my HD2 is (in the words of Mr Sheen) BI-WINNING.
I am using HyperDroid-CM7-v2.0.1-GregariousGreyhound ROM and love it, apart from the GPS issue. I rarely use GPS but knowing my phone isn't working perfectly like it did with Froyo, WM6.5 and WP7 (well almost) gets to me.
1.) In a nutshell... Why is Cyanogen7 released with no working GPS when people seemingly have fixes for it and previous versions of Cyanogen had GPS?
2.) cyanogenmod.com is so clean and official like I feel it should be the most stable Gingerbread ROM available but this GPS issue has put doubts in my head. Are the ROM releases with GPS fixes one step ahead?
Please unleash your knowledge and opinions on me.....
Cheers
Unleash your mouse on this link
like flame10 said GPS Libraries http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100114&page=41
yeah but...
Thanks for the link guys, I now have GPS working perfectly!
My question still stands though. Why do good ROMS like Cyanogen7 not get shipped with the GPS fix?
hahaha i dont know, gps working fine with me some times slow, but still working ... we hope they make the perfect rom some day haha
It's not a CM7 issue, it's the lack of agps support that was the problem. Tytung GPS Libraries obviously correct that issue and there you have working GPS

Ok, bare with me.... so the GPS libs are part of the radio and not the rom so we are talking about modding the radio. Is that correct?
