Is there anyway to enable 360 rotation for all apps? Some apps do it, others dont.
The OS itself allows this, but Google Earth for example doesn't.
Can we enable this somehow? Its a bit of a pain since the Asus Case allows you to place it in an upside down orientation so its easy to type, but half the apps don't work in this rotation...

I'd also like to see this happen. For example, i hate the fact that the market will not rotate.

+1 here too....
i hate how some apps will force themselves into portrait mode. The Engadget app for example. Main page is Portrait.......the article is landscape.
I wonder if this is a case of repacking the apk's or if we can force the system into making the apps think that portrait is actually landscape?

Hi All,
Are there any cameras around that will allow you to zoom. It does not look like the stock one has that ability. Same thing for video.
Also, anyone have a good way to clean this damn screen? Its a real fingerprint magnet! LOL

Hey mobi, I think it's something that just has to be switched on, because on my stock ROM I have zoom on both the camera and the video camera. It's not great, but it's there, it appears when you hit the little slider icon right under the shutter button.
It's possible that I have it available (where you don't) because I've activated all the "extra" camera and video modes with BsB Tweaks, and I guess the zoom is apparently one of them. I thought it was there all along, but if you don't see it on your stock ROM, then that's probably how you can turn it on
Thanks for the info. I do have it I guess I just needed to look harder. Seems like there are a lot of hidden things on here.
I was looking through the manual on the HTC site the other day and even some of the settings that they were talking about were not on there.
An example would be the conference call feature, the landscape mode (which I've somewhat fixed with the landscape cab except even in landscape I have to flick up and down and not left to right on images, etc) and a few others.
Oh well, it’s a learning experience. Just wish they'd enable everything and let us decide what to leave on or turn off.

I think there's a lot of people here who would agree with that sentiment
However, there's probably exactly the same number of people here who would say, "Just wish they would disable everything and let us decide what to turn on or leave off" LOL

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.

yes we can block..
dolphin browser uses the volume buttons to scroll..
also dolphin browser has a zoom in and zoom out button onscreen..
that works perfectly well..

Pictures taken in PORTRAIT (with just holding the phone straight up) do not save EXIF data correctly, and are shared as LANDSCAPE when "Shared" to Messaging, Gmail, etc. This is ****ing embarrassing.
You can try out Camera 360. I love that app and use it as my default photo app, I have the paid version. It might resolve your issue. Since I have not gotten my phone yet I cannot test to see if it works.
Link to free version.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vStudio.Android.GPhoto
You sure it's not just your web browser, or Gmail? I haven't checked in a while, but Exif rotational data was rarely used in browsers in recent history. Try opening your photo using the new version of Picasa to see if it's rotated correctly.
No, it is still screwed up. Take a picture in portrait. Then click "Share" to Messaging, Gmail, Facebook, whatever. It will preview as a sideways (landscape) photo, thus looking stupid.
It does preview that way, have you confirmed it sends that way?
Picture related, my panorama shots do not work, I get panorama failed pop up

Yes, I've confirmed that it "shares" that way to Messaging, Gmail and Picasa, and of course Facebook.
Interestingly enough, the original Droid has this problem. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. This is a huge bummer. No idea how to fix this.
Also after taking a photo, and previewing it, the whole screen orientation is in Landscape, no matter what you do. Keyboard open, keyboard closed - all the same. That's frustrating as well. Anyone got any ideas or insight?
Try using a photo editor such as PicSay and rotating the picture into landscape. Then maybe when you send it, it will send the right way
That definitelyorks, although I prefer Photoshop Express. But that is an honest unecessary hassle.

Bugs the hell out of me.
As far as I can tell there is no portrait mode on the Epic - that's why all of the controls are locked to landscape mode and rotating the phone doesn't do shiz.
I really hope they fix this.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The EVO 4G used to be like that, but in the Froyo 2.2 update they made it so the controls will auto-orientate to portrait mode. But, when you used to take photos pre-Froyo, they would always rotate correctly.
I've been rotating my photos in Photoshop Express but holy **** it compresses the hell out of them, making them go from 1MB~ to almost 30kB. Anyone have any ideas?
Same issue on my Vibrant

Maybe our Froyo update will fix the whole shebang. I really hope that Samsung didn't just frak me over with a crippled crappy phone that doesn't get bug fixes like they did with my Intrepid (the bastard child of Windows Mobile and Samsung) - Galaxy S is their flagship and they need to get on top of stuff.
I am not getting this issue. Can you give me the steps to duplicate it?
I pressed the camera button.
I took a portait picture.
I went into gallery.
I shared with both Picasa and emailed via gmail to myself.
In both it was displayed as Portait.
I noticed this last night. It's extremely annoying. Have to go on photoshop express as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Again, I am not getting this issue at all. Can someone detail how to duplicate it?
This could be a usage pattern thing. I detailed how I did it, and it works fine. What are you guys doing differently? If needed I can make a video showing that it works for me.

I am doing the exact same thing as what you're doing, and still getting pictures showing up as landscape, when they were taken with the phone held straight up.
Do you notice after you take a picture and click the PLAY button from the camera UI, the whole "preview" mode is in landscape?

No, in preview they are also correctly in Landscape. Perhaps you need to have the phone in portrait when you start the camera application?
Even while the camera app is loaded I took one picture in Landscape, then Portrait. Both displayed correctly in preview and after emailing.
I can feel your frustration though, that would be lame if it didn't do that. I will make a video tonight, not sure if it will help, but it might give you hope. As a last resort maybe you should try a hard reset back to defaults? I hate to recommend that, but it might work. Seeing as mine works and I have not tweaked anything camera related.
p.s. This might not be related, but I did not get the OTA patch after starting my phone, my GF's epic did. So my phone shipped already patched. I will test her camera tonight as well.

my phone does the same thing and it annoys me A LOT
Guys, the new google maps 5 is out. Seems like it has some really nice new features. Head onto marketplace and update.
The write up is on pocketnow.
http://pocketnow.com/android/google-maps-5-for-android-with-3d-vectoring-now-available
Can someone post .apk, please? Google updates not available in Market in some countries.
http : //is.gd/iRddp
Thanks so much for the .apk! Cheers man!
The 3D feature doesn't work for me on JDMS 1.6.2 build unfortunately.
Anyone get that to work? on which android build?
edit: Nevermind it works, my area was just too flat?!!
i couldn't make it work on my phone (see config below) either
Anyone get the map rotation to work using gestures? Only way I can make the map rotate is by using compass mode, but that requires me to be at the location I want to rotate the map around.
couldnt find the .apk file anywhere? neither in the market is the app??? where can i grab that??

Placing two fingers on the screen and moving them laterally in opposing directions worked for me.

which android build do you have? as others said i can't do that :\
thanx man you are best
Mine works great on the EVO Black & Blue Remix ROM, but London 3D has not been enabled yet
You make it 3D by putting two fingers on the screen and dragging down and I can make it rotate by putting my index finger and my thumb on the screen and rotating them in a circle. As dumb as this sounds, you really do have to practice a bit to get it to work. I'm using
EVO Carbon Remix V0.5 by motoman234
Thanks for the link.
1. Gestures work fine
2. I don't see any 3d landscape though
Are there any settings where you can activate 3D buildings and compass mode?
Update: Map stays stationary and only the blue arrow rotates.
Update 2: 3D buildings work only in some major cities around the world (i have found Chicago, Berlin untill now) and only if your zoom is at 100m/200ft and you must have all layers (terrain - sattelite) turn off.
Samsung Galaxy S - Froyo
I cant spin motion the map! I tried every means possible
I think the map rotate is limited to roms that are designed for phones that support distinct multitouch. I am using the hd2one which is built for the nexus one which doesn't have distinct multitouch... does anyone know how we can trick Google maps into performing the rotate function without flashing a different rom?

You can use this file, copy it to your hd2one/root/system/etc/permissions then reboot. I copied it from the desire_hd2 build and it works.

Hi,
when I use the camera on the rear of the xoom in apps (wordshot, barcoo, wikitude) the picture is always turned by 90 degrees. Has anyone seen the same problem? Or maybe a solution for this?
Zusan
Is there really noone, who has the same problem? Or maybe any hint to solve this issue?
are you using the xoom in landscape mode when you do this? perhaps those apps code the camera to orient when the xoom is in portrait mode. just a guess.
you should also contact the dev to get it direct from the horses mouth so to speak.
Thank you for your reply. Because I had the same idea I started the app holding the xoom landscape and after that didnt work, I held the xoom in portrait while starting. Or is there another way to set the orientation?
A second thought was that there may be something wrong with the sensors of my xoom, because I have also strange behaviour in some apps:
- In "google sky map" turning the xoom from portrait to landscape without changing the position of the xoom, suddenly makes the north to the west.
- Wikitude doesnt show any icons for the places in the camera-mode anymore, which it did since a while ago. Maybe thats because of the newest version or maybe there is something wrong with the sensors so that wikitude cant place the icons correctly!?!
Just a guess, but I have no idea how to prove this.
