does anyone else have slow rotation rates on DK28? My wifes phone that is completely stock on DI18 rotates almost instantly. mine was slow on the froyo beta which was to be expected, but DK28 I thought was supposed to be the released version or very close. if it rotates this slow, either mine is broken or this isn't ready for primetime.
My phone doesn't rotate at all on my stock di18

Yes, this is actually the reason I am going to go back to stock because I can't stand it. Its not just slow it rotates whenever I don't want it to and then for the life of me I can't get it to go back.

No, when you go to Froyo (DK28) and then decide to either flash back or Odin back down to Eclair (DI18), somehow, the accelerometer never works again. Froyo had a settings option to calibrate the screen, and as most of us do, we see a new setting, we gotta tweak it, right!?? Apparently, that did something to make the accelerometer inoperable when we went back to DI18.
Still waiting for any advice that does NOT involve rooting the phone...to get the accelerometer back on DI18...

I flashed back from DK28 to DI18 to get my gps working and then flashed back to DK28; accelerometer is working. Its not instant rotation like before but, it does work.

Everythings pretty much working for me, nothing too bad.
The acceleramotor has about a two second delay on the home screen for me. Everyone else its fine.

Nope its enable on my display&settings option. Its just not working anymore. I have to flip my keyboard out for it to rotate now. I could have sworn i could rotate the first two days i had it.
same thing with my phone but i'll take the gps finally working and slow rotation any day
*edit* gps working most of the time outdoors anyhow

everyone has to do that, it only rotated the homescreen before the very first update.
but if you go into say text messaging and flip the phone, it should flip instantly, not 5 seconds later. well at least it does on the di18. I hope the real froyo over the air isn't like this or samsung needs to stop working on the nexus s and fix this crap.

I had DK28 since the day it was released on XDA and i used ODIN to go back to 2.1 because I had to take my phone in for service and my accelerometer works perfectly fine.
It's been posted several times already. I suggest saving it:

I was messing around with maps tonight and was kind of shocked that it happens. I could not get it to work at all in 3d building mode. Or when zoomed in.
At about a city level zoom I can get it to spin. I do not have the hack that enables it either.
Very strange behavior/bug.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
True, albeit very poorly.
Indeed. I was shocked that it did it at all.
Its the screen bug of N1 not a bug in Gmaps. when you fingers are close it snaps in one line thats why rotate doesn't work well
they could have done it better. The optimus one can only detect 2 fingers as well and have the axis switching problem but you can rotate like 40 degrees.
The tweak that was around earlier did a far better job...

It's not the screen bug. When this feature came out it was disabled on n1 due to the screen.

OK, they are both pretty bad, but I still preferred the tweaked method. At least I had some control over when I rotated, rather than it just happening when I'm trying to zoom or tilt...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Would be nice if they would give us some other control over the rotation, what about trackball rotation or dedicated rotate buttons? Nobody uses the trackball in maps anyway.
I'm confused, because rotate works almost perfectly on my N1 since 5.2.

Same here. Sure you don't actually rotate your fingers (you drag them) but it now works flawlessly and with better control.
Google enabled an alternative to rotate the map. Swiping two fingers horizontally will do the trick.
My phone language is Japanese. Apart from changes on check-ins, there was a note mentioning this feature when I first launched the Maps after updating to 5.2.
But on my friend's N1 (display language is English), it showed update notes on check-ins only. Didn't mention about rotating maps.
Yes that seems to be the case. I did not see that in the new in maps notes either on my English nexus one.
The two finger swipe actually does work really well. I did not even notice that until now. Just noticed the very weird two finger rotate by accident.

I just check the two fingers swipe. And it works. Not bad at all.

awesome discovery!! I can't believe many of us missed that.
I can't get it to work, no matter what. I've tried the MSL fix, etc etc. The closes fix I get is about 7~10 blocks away.
Why is it that it won't work in CM7, but works PERFECTLY out of the box in Salvage-Mod?
Try the app "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the market. That got GPS working for me.

Have you tried the nightly that came out after cm7 final? Downloading gps status and clearing gps data might help.

Nightly tonight should have it fixed, I think. I think they're implementing the gps drivers from the dump yesterday.

The open source drivers provided by Qualcomm don't work.
The proprietary drivers were used in CM6, too.
I did the MSL fix to get my GPS working, but ever since then the "active" icon shows in the status bar even when I stop using navigation or maps. I actually think the gps stays active because I experience severe battery drain. Even when I disable the gps the icon stays active. I have to manually reboot for it to finally go away. Grr.
enter the ##gpsclrx# your phone reboots, while still in sense lock your GPS using navigation once it locks on reboot recovery and flash cm7. That's what I was told and it works 100% of the time for me.

Get "GPS Status & toolbolx" from market and either way go to tools, manage a-gps, hit reset, this will make the icon disappear and it will clear the gps data and get a better lock.

Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4118513# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

___________________________________________
just curious, what do you mean by a complete lock (more notably it taking a few minutes)? i've never had a gps lock take longer than a few seconds while i'm outside. it might be off by a few blocks, but it always locks really quickly (it was really bad while i was in LA last week).
it should also be noted that i have an incredible, not an evo...but after my gps issues last week while on vacation in california (and using my phone a lot for navigation) i've begun the search for a solution, because i really love CM7 otherwise. while in downtown LA i was consistently getting a "lock" that was a few blocks away from where i was, making navigation useless. it also happened a few times on the 60 freeway on the way into the city, where the phone thought i had gotten off the freeway and would start telling me to turn all over the place even though i was still driving along at 70mph on the freeway...
I saw a few people posting this in the cm7 thread. Looks like it's working great for them on the EVO too.

I'm going to run this ROM all day today and will report back tonight.
keyboard skipping seems to be fixed ... from what im testing as we speak ... and i type fast ... checkerboarding is present but i use dolphin anyway gps is the same 2 out of 8 .. rotation lag is somewhat improved but could be better
EDIT: calibrated and my lag is fixed .. half second rotation ... ....................................... when calibrating it took a minute to calibrate so don't think it froze up or anything .. enjoy
Does the overall ROM feel faster? Does video streaming (like HBO and Netflix) perform better? How about games?

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.
I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.
I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.
The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?

i have been running it for an hour and I like it so far but It can't be daily driver at the moment..
Most of my favorite games don't work or freeze (my biggest complaint)
asphalt 6 crashes
blood and glory doesnt work
deadspace doesnt work well due to the multi touch issue
street fighter IV crashes
few lags, but the rom is really smooth
camera recording issue (already noted by cm) and few minor bugs (like showing battery percentage in status bar doesn't show) and a few fc's here and there..
I haven't used the GPS for a while but it fine so far.
The CM team is amazing for the awesome rom (cm7 as well) and I am loving it so far...i am definitely donating
I think this rom is more a beta because it only has a few quirks to work out imo

You don't need swype beta. Just download one of the themed swypes in the apps section and flash it. Just make sure you mount system in CWM and unmount when you're done.
