Google Streetview stopped working? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Has Google Streetview stopped working in v4.0 of GMM?
Or is this an issue with the Leo?
On my Touch Pro I would just hold the stylus to the screen and a menu popped up with Street view as an option.
On the HD2 I can't see, to get to this. A finger on the screen brings up the address of where I am touching and a small picture that looks like it could be Street View, but I can't select it.
It this my fat monk fingers or has it stopped working on the Leo or in this version of GMM?
If it is still there, I'm guessing it doesn't work with the compass yet (for turning the view).
Ta,

go to menu-layers and there you will find street view hope that i helped you!

FONTS???
Hi,
see my screenshot, does anybody know how to fix the font? I suppose that's the problem. No other problem has this problem,only google maps.

was curious when i saw this post. I dont get street view near me either as i dont live in a city. I can confirm that street view is available in London but i havent tried other cities. I just held on the map until the location was displayed and then clicked that to get more options and one was streetview. im presuming other cities such as Liverpool and Manchester may have street view also.

That's bad news indeed...i've got a lot of mods done allready. Thanks for your answer I'll try uninstalling some cabs, what worked for you?
Simply uninstalling Googlemaps will also work and is quit less time consuming

reinstalling google maps does not help.it will stay the same.at least it did for me.i would try first some apps which are older or using simple types of GUI.i had this problem with GPS Speedo app as far as i can remember.

I just pressed the screen/card and get a menu. Here you can chose streetview!

I found it yesterday, but its being a bit flaky finding places that I know have streetview (as I've looked at them before on my Touch Pro).
It seems that in this new version (4.0) you hold a finger on the screen and a cross appears. It then automatically tried to find the adress where that cross is.
When it find the address a ballon pops up over the cross with the adress AND a small streetview picture.
Tapping that Streetview picture does nothing!
You have to press the 'Select' softkey at the bottom which brings up a menu.
Briefly, at the moment, I see 'checking streetview' but streetview is not an option on the menu that pops up. Yesterday streetview WAS on that menu.
So... that's where it's gone in the new version, bt it seems to be being a bit flaky at the moment.

HTC Home question

just downloaded duttys HTC cab from his webpage and installed it, but all i get is 6 icons at the top of the screen and nothing else (no weather, buttons or anything else)
checked what i have in the today settings, but HTC Home is ticked, but niothing else.
am i missing some plugin's or is my phone acting the fool?
Have you tried soft resetting?
Also, try unchecking home plugin, and rechecking it.
PS:
I was thinking, are you sure you downloaded HTC Home, and NOT HTC Sprint Home.
They are 2 different items, and the sprint one is just icons which take you to specific apps.
i downloaded this app
HTC Home Plugin v1.6.cab
installed it, let the phone reset, checked HTC_NEW_default on the today page, then go into items and check HTCHomePlug
i get the nice grey back ground, and 5 icons at the top of the screen.
no weather, nothing
I've not tried this myself as the one in Dutty's ROM works great for me, but there's a download at http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html that you could give a shot.

Hi:
I have no clue why that is happening to you. Someone more knowledgeable may come along and have other suggestions.
I am using a different Home plugin, I will attach it here for you if you want to give it a try. It is the same as the one you downloaded, only a newer version (2.0) and is working perfectly for me.
Hope this helps
It seems I am unable to attach the Home .cab for some reason, go up to search, and look for Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen
It works fine for me.

I could do that, but then someone else would want it the other way. I'm afraid I can't please everyone. I've made it this way so that it works the same as default rotation on the phone.
I'm not at home this weekend, so won't be making any changes, but I suppose I could create a registry entry that allows you to say whether you want left or right handed.
Check back on Monday or Tuesday
Great app, working very nicely

Done!
There's now 3 versions - left rotate, right rotate, and upside-down (for the 1 person I've seen asking for this )
Hope this helps

Where are you doing it? It doesn't want to work on manila, but is fine with other applications.
ohh right so this wont rotate manilla. like the homescreen and twitter app for instance?

For some (unknown) reason, manila doesn't seem to like being forced into landscape. The upside-down version works fine, but not the landscape versions.
I'll have to do some testing and see if there's anything that can be done, but it doesn't look promising right now.
Edit:
I've had a play and it seems that Manila simply doesn't like landscape, unless it does it itself (photos & videos, music tabs etc..)
Ok well thanks for trying anyway

How exactly did you set yours up? Don't see an option for it
Install latest maps update and choose maps in live wallapers. Very simple.

Check the market for the latest version of Maps... 4.1 will leave a new Live Wallpaper to utilize...

Thanks, I was looking inside the maps application. Didn't realize it was added to live wallpapers.
Tapping on the maps wallpaper zooms in. Is there a possibility to zoom out again. Cannot find a way.

Yeah, I noticed this too...
only way i managed was to go back to live wallpaper, select the map. Once there by pinch/zoom motion i finally managed to zoom out though took a bit of trying.
needs a fix

Tap with two fingers to get it to zoom out.
Tried to update mine, but I'm getting an error, package file incorrect. I'm on Modaco's custom alpha 15.
Can't get mine updated as I could even find the map...sigh in Malaysia by the way anyone got the apk
Looks like the map wall paper does not use the GPS to find the location. The location on the wallpaper is far off from the correct location. Is there a way to make it use the GPS?
i updated and no live wallpaper...
Hi,
I wonder, will this also work with HTC Sense on my Legend??

needs 2.1. so it is only working on the nexus one for the moment
I got mine working on a rooted HTC Hero running Damage ROM. It's pretty cool I must admit however I can't zoom out like someone mentioned earlier and it takes the speed boost from the 2.1 upgrade back around the speed of Fresh 1.1. It's cool though, although I feel I will be switching back in forth to my Sense.
Single tap with two fingers to zoom out
Double tap with one finger to zoom in
Crashes sometimes...
Please don't resurrect dead threads.
Thank you.

Works on Liquid 2.1, thanks man .
Could you post some other Ally stuff, like the weather widget, just to try.
EDIT: The widget is really cool, people should try this.
EDIT 2: There's one thing not working: Settings of the app. I don't think it's a bug, there's probably another Ally apk which contains the Socialite app settings.
Deleted by me.
Any thing else we can get from it...

I have access to a LG Droid Ally and have pulled their social networking application, Socialite from /system. It works on my other phones, so it will probably work for you.

nevermind .mak is working on a workable version for HVGA devices
To those who have tried this app on an appropriate sized device (480x800, 480x854, etc), does the facebook tab work as it should? Does it update with your facebook profile picture at the top of the widget, and when you click said picture, does the "Update your profile" box pop up?
This information will be VERY helpful to me, thank you!

The widget doesnt like landscape on my droid.

widget seems to fit perfectly on my nexus
Can someone post a few screenies of some of the cool widgets that work on other devices? That messaging app looked kinda cool.
Mh, I keep getting "unable to connect to the SNG server" when trying to login
I basically use this app only for the amazing widget that it comes with. It's great. The app itself force closes on my droid like crazy, so I don't use that.
are you able to pull that awesome weather widget?
thanks
Can't someone talented extract DivX support from this? ... and port it to the Nexus One?

Is it me or do I alway have to update Twitter / Face manually? I doesn't seem to update the feeds automatically. And since there is no way to get to the settings screen I can't see if there is an auto-sync feature.
Anyone else has this issue?

No Maps live wallpaper?

Yeah I don't have it either. But it's not a problem for me and probably most others lol. Maybe you can download it somewhere? I dunno dude.

I couldn't find it either, but I did find one called Advanced map that lets you select from a number of different map sources. Best part is that it's free. Here's the description:
Set your favourite map as a Live Wallpaper showing your current position. Maps include Ordnance Survey, Google, Satellite, Bing, OpenStreetMap, and USA VFR and IFR charts (aviation)
* Automatic position refresh
* Map caching (low data usage)
* Battery friendly (no GPS required)
* Zoom settings
* Smooth scrolling
* Traffic
http://www.appbrain.com/app/advanced-map-live-wallpaper/com.androidgamer.osmlw
You can search for it in the market or if you have a barcode scanner app you can go to the link I posted and scan the barcode there to pull it up.
It's worked pretty well for me so far.
Mine offered it after I installed brut maps.
