Hey everyone.
I've installed madacco cupcake because I wanted to use the fully working scummvm for Android to play my really old games lol. Also I can adjust the video screen size when watching videos.
It's running really good but I'm gutted I can't get Google maps navigation on there as it needs donut minimum to install
Does anyone know if there's a "tweaked" version to work for cupcake?
If not does anyone know where I can get a rooted version of donut?
Thanks a lot
Sy

I think BRUT.ALL maps works on 1.5 (not sure though). If you search XDA, you will find the APK for it. I have seen it in the Dream forum. It's a tweaked version of G-maps.

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!

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.
Just wondering what the situation is with the youtube app contained in this rom upgrade.
Ive had problem on the old rom with youtube apps stopping htc player from working, also wondering if anyones ripped it out of the rom and made it a standalone app.
Any anwsers much appreciated............
Sorry if this has been posted already, i did search.....honest.
Ps.
when we gonna get android and wp7 on the hd2 come on.......... only joking

Congrats - you're the only person still running an original rom on here. And hopefully Android wont make it in here, after the 10 minute experience I've had of the Xperia 10 thingie.
Pretty sure im not the only person using a stock ROM, and I really was joking about android, if I wanted that I'd have got an android phone.
Hi conantroutman
I'm still using the stock ROM and have the Google YouTube app v 2.4.4 running fine. Had previously tried a HTC one and it stopped htc player from working so uninstalled it and all is now well.
Just installed that new rom from the original stock and the youtube app is working much better than before, video seems better quality.. everythings smooth etc!
Thanks guys, much better after flash, htc player and youtube working together in perfect harmony! brings a tear to my eye......
sms sent notification on the other hand is making me want to smash my face into the screen...........
Oh well, rough with the smooth and all that...............
Hai Guise.
I've tried three different Froyo ROMs from A.Development now and all of them work fine except for one niggle.
Google Listen doesn't seem to see my Google Account sync on startup and as such, won't work as it needs to sync with Google Reader.
Listen is one of my most-used apps and there isn't a replacement even nearly good enough to replace it on the market. Does anyone know a fix or workaround?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ah, I see there is another thread on this topic which remains unanswered. Sorry.
If anyone is interested, I've found that Doggcatcher comes close to replacing Listen, but at a cost of £6.99
It was me who posted I am glad I'm not a lone it doesn't work on sense versions or asop versions grrr

Already fixed in the Liberated Aria 2.2 ROM.

this rom you tell me it not working well the google maps, it not works perfect. that rom I put here the google maps works perfect.
Please fix weather animation as it is at random places and distorted after unlock.
What about removing goapk stuff...NM liberated fr already has.
What about...wait liberated fr rom already has that.
Oh...also....NM liberated already has that as well.
The choice is yours, but I think if you have something to contribute it would be better to work with attn1 rather than starting a peeing contest.

google maps works perfect for me? am i missing something? it even did the automatic update.
I don't think Hero support the 3D view and vector map feature in Maps 5.0... at least, I can't get them to work on mine (Floyo 1.2)
Anyone can?
im interested to know this also!
Yeah I had a go at trying out the new maps but I couldn't work out how to get 3D maps. I'll have another go later to see if I can work it out haha
only the latest phones seem to support it!!! So it locks down when it detects which device you are using.... So dam annoying as would have bothered with upgrade as we basically gain NO new features or stability.We have in effect 4.70 with a new version number thats all...

Bummer.. maybe someone can hacks it like brut for navigation? 3D is probably to much to ask but the vector maps would be really sweet.
Ya, I was so psyched when I saw the youtube vids of 5.0.0 3D in action. Then, reality set in and then...
The Hero doesn't have 3D accelerated hardware, so using a "hacked" version of 5.0.0 might slow down the CPU...
Check the thread here... Ive got 3d

Thank you for the correction!
There's not many 3D buildings in Los Angeles...
See THIS POST from THIS THREAD. He seems to have some of the new features of 5.0 running on hero!
If you edit the line, ro.opengles.version, in your build prop to read ro.opengles.version=131072 then tilt and rotate works perfectly.
As far as I can tell, gapps (i.e. market, googlemaps etc,) use the opengl version specified in build.prop to determine what features etc are available.

Works fine on my Hero (Cronos Froyo 1.7.2). It's a little slow, but it all works.
