Reboot your phone, download "Multitouch visualizer" from the market and test it there.

i have 1 and 2 in Multitouch visualizer, but cannot zoom in when i using browser..how i fix it?

You need to be sure, that all files you download from xda are on their places.Make sure, that module for pinch to zoom is in the system\lib\modules folder, and that you correctly entered the code in hw_confih.sh

What is the easiest way to enable flash player to opera browser

HI GUYS
I JUST FACED A PROBLEM WITH MY FRIEND'S FACEBOOK PAGE IN OPENING A VIDEO HE UPLOADED IT
AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT IT ASKS ME FOR FLASH PLAYER AND I DOWNLOADED THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AND CHECK THE VIEO AGAIN BUT NOTHING CHANGED THE VIDEO CANT BE OPENED
NEEED UR HELP GUYS
Easiest way would be to find the caps lock and press it once and then use internet explorer or skyfire instead.
LOL, nice, I know there is a way to get it running in opera 9.7 but I don't wanna mess up my opera. Having flash on the opera already installed would be the best because it's the fastest browser and has the best pinch to zoom. Ohwell, I would love to just get the opera on the device to see the youtube page as the mobile version so when someone sends me a youtube video link, It will open the youtube app instead of nothing from opera. Sure, you can make IE the default browser and get this but there is no pinch zooming with IE. Ohwell.
Thank u friend so much for ur help
but
is there another way to enable flash to opera
because the topic is all the way on top anyways....where is the fix for opera browser?
Is there any solution

Does this kill the pinch zoom on the HD2 browser? Anyone get it to work with the HD2?
very interesting, might try this myself. anyone got this working on hd2 yet?
I also tried it several days ago and I disabled it after installing.
The problem is (after disabling it is o.k. again) that for example none of the youtube movies worked for me. And also the has been some flickering in the upper third of the screen while zooming and scrolling. That has been the worst issue!
the patch does not work well at all.... is a waste of time patching....
just live with it for the time being i guess....
it does work
it worked fine for me on 3 different roms so it is probably worth a try for any of you people who are undecided on it. (and it is really easy to do too)
youtube and loads of other flash sites work, however facebook videos do not work for me.

Anyway to replace default Keyboard without losing pinch to zoom ?

I have installed a couple more keyboards i.e. Verizon 2.1 with voice input and also swype, but each time i select these i lose the ability to pinch to zoom.
Works ok if i revert back to the stock keyboard, anyone else seen this and have a solution for it ?
thanks
Link is here. Here
Pinch to zoom seems to be working again now and not done nothing since posting here, very strange.
Does it work once restarted? As in switch phone off then back on?
nope does the same even if this phone is restarted.

I've been having problems with pinch to zoom too, but i had no idea it was linked to the keyboard. Both seem to work perfectly fine usually, but after heavy use i notice pinch to zoom stops working, but is OK after a reboot. Would love to get a fix for this.
I've installed the voice to text with the Verizon keyboard download, and although pinch-to-zoom works most of the time, it occasionally scatters the small home screens to the edges of the screen, and I have to press the home buttone to reset them. But it still works 99% of the time.
Sweet works fine for me, deffo prefer htc keys for typing though. its auto correction is great
Hey guys,
I was having this problem but I figured it out.
Go into the browser, change to the third party browser, exit the browser and restart the phone.
Then pinch zoom works..
you can swap back and forth from the default and the third party one again with pinch zoom enabled.

Verizon 2.1 is considered warez, you shouldnt post it
and regarding the issue, ... does it happen on ALL pinch to zoom applications? i.e. home screen, .. browser, ... galllery ... etc ? or just the browser when using swype? .. what if you used swype in messaging and then sent a message and closed the messaging application, does the pinch gets effected?
I am using swift and I have also used swype beta. Pinch to zoom has never been an issue for me at all. My friend has had this issue thought and he just restarts his desire and then it works again.

[App Req] Hardware Zoom In/Out

Hi,
by now we all know that we aint getting any multitouch, but the necessity of multitouch still remains. If you are using default browser/skyfire then you have to find a spot in the website to click (where there are no links), then the Zoom In/Out comes up. If you are using Opera, then if you double tap it zooms out to a default value (nope, you cant change the zoom out level).
Both of the above methods are not that great. I was wondering if it is possible to make an app that would use the volume button to zoom in/out. So when you are in browser or map or pic viewer, you press the volume button, it zooms in/out.
I think this app would be awesome
The only problem is I dont know how to make it
So can any dev work on this PLEASE. I am pretty sure lot of us and also people with other phones could use this app.
Thanks in advance
Bikram
PS: Non devs pls back me up in this (might bring some attn)
I'd be interested in an app like that.
EDIT: Not a dev, but I see a problem with that...wouldn't that mean an entire browser needs to be made? (Unless SkyFire or Opera made an update for their browsers)
EDIT2: Another thought, do any of the Android browsers support add-ons? I'm going to figure this out tomorrow
it could be possible though you need the source code of one of the apps weather it be skyfire or opera.
I think the devs have the source code for the default browser. Right??
Hi,
there are APIs for Creating Browsers (its not very hard actually) but i dont know if the same APIs allow adjusting of zoom level, if so, the second question is if we can get the events of the Volume buttons.
Lets see
I am not sure what you are talking about, but I am sure there are API's for volume. Even if not then we might be able to find it in the decrypted ROM.
What im saying is that i dont know if it is possible to block Volume Adjusting and instead use it for Zooming.
My guess is yes though.

that works perfectly well..

Too many people are working on the root after the root is done there are free resources to do that. I had that idea too, think it would be great :-D

Using Stock Browser.app instead of samsung crappyone?

Hi everyone..
we all know that the our tab it's wonderful and speedy..except for the only thing it make the difference today..the browser(someone told about dolphin hd? )..so my question is..it's possible to mount froyo's stock browser instead of default modified by samsung?
I miss something?
Thanks to everyone who help me..
Download DolphinHD or xScope from the Market.
orr Miren (awesome)
yes..I know both these browser but my question is about changing the browser.app with adb and mount stock froyo browser..

dolphinHD is based on the same webkit..so it is a little slow..as the samsung crappy one..we need to change the entire app!!

The stock Froyo browser would still use the same Webkit as well!

I cant use anything but the Dolphin browser... as all my bookmarked pgs are gesture opened... until someone comes up with the same thing for other browsers, I can't use anything else Too easy to go "flick flick" and open the exact pages I want...
However, I admit, pinch to zoom could be a little smoother on Dolphin HD....
I also have nice add ons which allow me to shake/flick to jump from tab to tab
just an FYI, the newest firmware (euro) fixes the lag of the stock browser. i was looking for the same thing too, pushing the stock browswer from my nexus didnt work. but now i dont need to do it.

[Q] One finger zoom (like before!)

Hi, first of all i'd like to thanks everyone in this forum because without you it would have been impossible for me to install a custom rom on my x8! (Froyobread, very nice job!)
However as being unable to use pinch zoom as having a cypress chip in my device, i was wandering if there's any way to enable single finger zoom like in the original out-of-the-box SE rom.....
Can anyone help me?
thanks in advance
Isnt it based on the app you want to use zoom on?...
I mean, if you want to zoom on browser, browser will have function for zoom in when double press screen.....
I think it's not... in fact if my phone has had the synaptic chip i would be pinching instead of pressing zoom-in and zoom-out buttons in every apps preinstalled in the modded rom; however i've heard about standalone applications that supports single finger zoom like you said, but in this case it's different; i think that x8 sony ericsson's eclaire rom has a module similar to x8gesture that can handle single finger zoom for the entire operating system's apps....
sorry for my english and thanks for the answer!

Try deleting x8gesture module from /system/lib/modules using root explorer.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I've done as you said, but nothing changed... always zoom-in and zoom-out buttons in the bottom right corner.....
In browser? Try it in gallery.

You think wrong then. Eclair has a one-finger-zoom only in gallery as far as I remember. I don't know about stock browser (I never used that) but none other app supported it as I remember, and definitely no non-ROM app supported it. And all custom ROM apps are build for either button zoom or pinch zoom... this is simply how cyanogen mod works, they didn't think that any company would go for something as archaic as non-MT digitizer
Stock eclair has 1 finger zoom only in gallery, that's all.
