This is to avoid confusion about Google maps and Earth rotation feature.
Others report that their Maps and Earth apps do not rotate at all when they upgraded their ROM to XXJVK.
First, rotation gesture is quite different from other devices or versions.
To rotate, place two fingers, one on top of the other, then move horizontally along the screen.
If that didn't work, check Google Maps' version:
Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All tab
Find Maps in the list and check version number.
If version is 5.0 or any version less than 5.2, then rotation is not possible without hacking
system's multitouch file.
Now go to Market and download latest version, 5.2.1.
*Some countries cannot download the latest version,
here is a link of the apk file of Maps 5.2.1:

here is the link of a modified Maps 5.2.1:

How to install (for rooted devices only, credit to abhi0n0nakul):
abhi0n0nakul said:
INSTRUCTIONS:
download and extract the .apk
1. install titanium backup.
2. in titanium backup, go to apps and wipe data for maps(i.e official maps).
the mod wont work if data is not wiped..
3. after wiping data, you can also clear cache. so that nothing of original maps is there..
4. now uninstall the maps using titanium backup .
5. you may perform a reboot (though worked for me without reboot).
6. now install the moded maps.
7. again you may try reboot if not working (worked for me without reboot)
and you are done....

Or you can try this alternative (for those who want the circular gesture):
*Warning: This might change your phone's multitouch implementation,
not just in the Maps application as the update will modify files in the /system/ folder.
But overall, in my experience, multitouch is somewhat much responsive with this fix.
Not just on Maps but also on other apps like gingerbread keyboard, as others also reported.
Please say thanks to nedoo:

Possible explanation by rlorange. Thank him by the way!

It seems that samsung forgot to tell android 2.3.3 that our phone is multi-touch!
Maybe this is a google/market thing and the market is confused as to what type of phone we have with jvk. Perhaps the multi-touch update comes via system app updates like maps depending on the phone model.
Really there is only the nexus 1 and S running 2.3.3 till JVK arrived and its not official yet so I reckon Google/Market thinks our phone is a N1 and thus updated the multi-touch scrip accordingly... Phew like my theoy? LOL!

I would just like to add that there was another rotation method in the maps found in the original jvk firmware different to the one used previously and not at all Intuitive.
Many people might not have known how it works and concluded that rotation simply didn't work when in fact it did. Here's how it works:
Place two fingers together on the screen one ABOVE the other and sweep in an arc.
Not sure why this method replaced the older and better one. Please confirm if a market update changes back to the original

I am using the latest official Maps (5.2.1) och my XXJVK (non-rooted) and this is the way to rotate it. Just pinch your fingers together on top of each other and sweep in an arc, as you said.
The old system is better, but this is actually a Maps feature and not a bug in the JVK.
Hi! i'm on JVK stock too, confirm that rotation works, simply change input mode.
I describe like, make a circle with two parallel finger
The old one was really more intuitive, maybe there was some problem with non wanted rotation when you try to zoom..so they change...
bye!

Ahh thank you nadoo, I have yet to work out how to post files from my phone... Xda app? Fail! Phone, browser? Fail! I rarely use my computer lol!
This update from nadooo will revert rotation back to the older more intuitive method... Thanks again nadooo

Thanks guys for your feedback. Will add it then to the first post.
If the 2 finger vertically swipe is the new default then I think we should all give maps one star and bad reviews.
I have 5.2.1 on xxjvk and I cannot use the normal twisting rotation which was awesome in many iphone bashing ways, including the two salute to 3D.
Only thing works is the vertical two finger thing which is awkward to get the exact rotation you want or to rotate smoothly.
1 star incoming...
Ahh! See this change coincidentally came just as I flashed jvk so I thought it was related to jvk only.
I'm guessing google will change it back cos they will get heat for it!
Edit:, is it jvk only? Perhaps google maps thinks our phone with jvk is a nexus 1? Hmmmm running theory
For now

Yes I also think that this should be enabled (included) by default, seems like that it "thinks" Galaxy S has optical or trackball navigation like some HTC models (N1...).
This is present with Gingerbread only JV1, JVK...hope that next iteration will deal with this...
From what I can tell, it's like this:
Samsung forgot to add the android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml file - which is present in JS8 (that's a ROM I have on my laptop* and checked) so the phone *thinks* there is no distinct multi-touch, and that it has the crappy "multi-touch" that desire/nexus one etc have. For them, they have to use the two finger arc gesture because it'll get messed up using the normal gestures when the axis swap.

You, sir, seem to be totally right. Let's hope Samsung fixes it in the release build of GB.

I think it could be signature.
So in order to apply this update on GB you need to fix permissions, most CWM does this by default, if not do it manualy

Did you clear the cached map tiles?
Try to clear it and reboot twice. If it still fails, do the alternative method as pointed out by nedooo
You dont need the map apk. Install maps off the market and then apply nadooo's zip to enable multi-touch rotation.

Maybe he, just like me doesn't have Maps and Earth on Market due to Region.
I appreciate yours uploads a lot, and thanks again
thank you all, i'll try it later..
since the CBW's Official froyo doesn't solve
-TV out (3.5mm A/V analog ) function,
-media button not works
-radio volume issue
-app2ext
i Recommend you try the WanHu's rom
-this rom is base on official Korean Froyo and Dexter's
-the rom is make by a Chinese Developer with the ID call wanhu (万户)
I personally think that this ROM is best for me
-if you want to use TV OUT over 3.5mm jack ,it requires the stock 2.1 south east Asia or Singapore version (STR_U2_01.18.2_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA033.0R_USASHLSTBSTARSG_P016_A013_HWp3_1FF.sbf) installed first ,.other 2.1 sbf don't work For 3.5mm TV-out ,
- Use the Milestone Overclock version 1.4.2 it works stable at 900 Mhz , 59 Vsel
-i notice that Old market can't update ,one of the reason (Maybe) is when you type your google account after you finished type your password don't hurry to press the next button yet...see what's change with your user name ? my situration is everytime i finished typing pw..my user name has add a "g" letter..very wired but after recorrect the username you can run the market and update..
-swap kernel supported i can use fastboot to boot fj's kernel. but sometime get reboot by itself..maybe bcoz of my class2 16 g sd card problem..coz i test with my 8G C4 card..it never happened
-this rom is also good for those who want to use Simplified Chinese in language ,coz most of the roms don't have that..only traditional..
-this rom also good at CDMA network SMS sending, many roms have this problem ,at least is China .you send English or Chinese SMS to a CDMA handset user,the get symbols like this is message ...#^@%^&%$&#$..but with Wanhu's rom you don't have to worry about it ..

pls feel free to correct me if anything wrong...and thank Wanhu for making this rom
Oh, hell yes! Excellent! I've been thinking lately that Dexter made a wrong turn when he gave up on the Korean ROM and started porting everything from the A853. My stupid thanks button has me locked out from yesterday. I'll be back in 24hrs to click your buttons!
Haptic feedback feels like 2.1's.
FM Radio works.
Media key works.
Magnifier during cursor positioning works.
But, haven't figured out how to change the keyboard back to qwerty yet. Definitely the right foundation.
[oops this one was wrong thread]
I've just loaded this ROM. Hmmmm.....
Okay, how do we combine the two, this one with Cincinnati Bell's?
I think we may have a winner if we do!
Wow! Thanks for this great ROM! It still has a few bugs, but it's lightning fast and superb to work with! I haven't even overclocked it but it's way faster than MIUI overclocked! Thank you so much for this ROM WanHu!

Maybe some changes can even be merged with XDA Special.

Also a message I get all the time about network time not being set has been removed.
And there is mention of the radio volume being fixed.

Yea, you can throw me in the mix.
Just pm link.
Me 2! I PM'd you..
FYI I am a beta tester.
A little info on the rom, it is built on CM7 MTD setup.
current build boot loops upon install from ICS (cm9), but upon re-installing from its kernel, I was able to boot to system!!!
Interesting fact, HTC sense roms are huge! system/lib folder for this rom is 93MB, and the system/app and system/framework folders are installed to data/sys-parts/app and framework respectively, then symlink'd to their original system folder location. as the app and framework folders alone are 168 MB.
The first odd thing i have seen is in the first run setup... 100s of languages, including 30 versions of English but noe of the English languages were for US or Canada.... Funny. Ireland and Zimbabwe get their own english versions but not any for North american countries? Must have been ported from an Asian/European htc rom?
I think i can live with using UK English.. but if it starts chiming at Tea Time every day im going to flip!

Been using this for almost 12-13 hrs. Rom is smooth, wifi is working, but phone calls don't work, as I already reported. I tried changing modems and restoring my nv data (imei) files, but still doesn't work.
Anybody has working radio?
But the hw acceleration works very well and scrolling is super smooth no lags at all. Thank you qube2 for bringing this to cappy.

Yea, I report the same. I installed the rom and everything seemed to be working until there was no way to get the radio to work. The phone always shows Sprint ,and is unable to get a signal...although very nice rom!
Super smooth!
Also didnt seem to notice any rendering issues with the HTC clock.
Apart from the Radio issue , wifi seems to be working just fine.

AFAIK, for AOSP kernels were very few, There is CM7, Glitch and then the Platypus kernel. Also Qube will be putting out a rebased rom, maybe you may want to wait.

just got home from work, going to play around with the 2 base versions...
but on a different topic, I was thinking today, bringing Sense to any and all devices, should be known/called the " Common Sense Project ". As in, common to all phones (someday, hopefully).
Eh!? Yeah!... So on with the Captivate Common Sense Project!!
so first off.. for phone/data issues..go to settings > About Phone > Phone Identity
whats missing? LOL everything!
efs folder... exists...
About phone > Hardware Information
All accounted for except bluetooth address, bluetooth type OK.
Bluethoth also doesnt turn on if you havent tried.
Need Captivate Bluetooth files
GPS: WORKS as is!! - but personally applied hellstorm's gps fix been using it since before my custom rom, effin eh! just makes it that much better.
About phone > Software Information
Baseband Version: Unknown
What modem is it supposed to have? Because the rom isnt finding it.
FYI. since you dont have a Captivate, you probably dont know, with an i9000 re-oriented captivate kernel, and i9000 modem, or CM kernel and i9000 modem, the Captivate can achieve HSPA ( 4G )
possible duplicate of facebook for htc and facebook... ? trying to merge all facebook contacts with htc facebook contacts..? -EDITnope, htc facebook is the equivilant of snsprovider facebook sync we used to enjoy on captivate, where you turn facebook app sync off to avoid duplicate facebook entries.
Outdated apps:
Market x2
Voice Search
Rom Manager
YouTube
Google MapsStreet View on Google
Facebook for Android
Google Search
GMail
Superuser x2
Not needed Apps:
Flashlight App - No light
Mirror App- No Front Camera
FM Radio App and Widget - Cappy no got.
thats it for now, im going to shower work off me. Listening to Alice In Chains.
EDIT: would be nice to have a list of what files were from HTC , which were from Samsung and what samsung device, and which were AOSP builds, if any.
EDIT 2: Still havent showered but went to use Voice Search, and it fails saying " Audio Problem ", assuming Microphone issues. Rear Speaker works, unsure how to test ear speaker without phone or mic.. also need to test headphone jack
Edit 3. still smell. wow! holy unnecessary apps batman! " /data/sys-parts/app/ " is full of duplicate apps. 2 markets both old, 2 superusers - one unofficial conflicting with real one updating, also a few apps in the folder dont show in drawer or system ui. as the htc theme " skins " wood , metal, slate ect. dont show up in the personalization screen, although personalization and htc hub downloads work! and as mentioned above dont need fm radio and widget, and flashlight.
Edit 4. Showered!! - Edit photo effects... does nothing. crop works though.
This is an AOKP ROM for the u8800. It is ported from Huawei Honor B977 4.0.3. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. It's a chinese rom from the anzhi forums (original thread)
I flashed this ROM just now ( thanks fjsferreira for the mirror), this is my feedback:
- Fast, smooth (on par with Aurora).
- Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, and the like work.
- No gapps, Play Store, camera, browser...(you pretty much have to install everything yourself).
- No strip unicode in the Mms.apk.
- Popup notification support in the Mms.apk.
- Cool AOKP tweaks (naturally...).
- No theme-chooser (meaning you'll have to stick with the mix of Touchwiz 5, ICS and lots of tranparency that is the UI).
- Long pressing the Home key doesn't show the multi-tasking interface and doesn't take you to the Homescreen.
- The SEARCH key is set to turn off the screen (to revert it to its normal function (searching!), check this post).
- I'll add more feedback information as more people try it and report.

Make sure the system folder fits in your system partition. I think you need to chacge the partitions in order to flash this, but I'm not sure. Our phone's default system partition is 210 mb
Has anyone tried it? Or have mirror?
I would love to give a try, but download time shows me 18 hours...
I have tried the previous ver actually..... Partition is a must, otherwise phone wont pass Huawei logo. Its ported from Huawei Honor ...every thing works well but Home key does not work..... But be aware some time it happens that you cant return to stock partition and you wont be able to Flash official 2.3 or Froyo ROM back.

I haven't tried that way, you can try once.... All 4.0 official ROM designed for U8800 PRO also officially they have made .app file for changing the partition to install ICS so i doubt it will work.

Actually this version is much smaller (109MB) than the previous (180MB), so it may not need re-partitioning. It has a ".UP" suffix so maybe it is an update flashable only and you need the previous installed, but I can't know since I cannot download it. It just goes soooooo slowwww....
camera not working

I know, right? I left the computer on and went to the beach but when I came back the file only had 86mb out of the 109mb...I'll have to try again tomorrow, since it will probably take some 4 hours to download.

If you guys use something to stabilize the download, like free download manager, speed is always above 800 KB/s (I've just finished my download, took less than 3mins)

EDIT: anyway, here it is
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ZMZwAV0MEaVUUzMjRDM2JyXzg
(I didn't try this ROM yet, and probably won't, Aurora is completely stable for me right now)
Well, just went ahead and tried the ROM. From my 10 minutes playing with it, everything seems to work, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and camera (camera isn't included by default, you have to install one).
Also, no market by default, you have to manually edit the zip file and include the market apk in it.
Sadly I had to uninstall it after 10 mins because, and I'm seeing this more and more, the dev completely screwed up the UI... it's simply horrible, it's not default AOKP at all... He made a complete mess with icons from samsung, an horrible background in every app, horrible popups and menus, etc... I didn't like that at all. I didn't even took the time to create screenshots, I'm sorry, because it was burning my eyes...
There are some stuff completely in chinese, in the ROM control area of the settings, but overall, you can choose any language that Android includes. Note, while the theme of the UI isn't AOKP, the ROM itself is, with the usual settings AOKP provides,
Performance wise, I saw no difference than with aurora...

You can include this too... Its ported from Huawei Honor 4.0 977 ver ROM and home key doesn't show recent apps opened and doesn't take you to home either.

Thanks. I reverted to the good old .32 kernel yesterday, so I won't be testing this one for now. However, I'll still update the OP with the links to the latest version and the features/bugs list.
