Google maps 5 - Droid Incredible Themes and Apps

Anyone figure out how to get the 3d view to work?
Edit:
For ASOP (CM, Ruby, etc.) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876926
Also, 3D only works in larger cities.

If you are zoomed in close enough you just have to drag up or down to get the 3D effect. Hope that explains it well enough. Took some playing with to figure it..

think cities that google earth has had 3d buildings for. so as you said, more or less major cities.
gotta say though, this runs alot better than any previous version had. and i'm incredibly glad to having caching back like on good ol WinMo lol

Looks like the Inc doesn't support the new rotate feature I wish this thing displayed 3D in satellite mode.

I can't get rotate to work either despite the fact that Google lists it as fully supported (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1079043)

Well, this sucks...

Try using your thumbs to get used to it. Left thumb bottom, right thumb top, and just pull your thumbs towards your hands. It was working fine for me. I played with it for a good twenty minutes.

You have to hit your my location button in the top right corner to get rotation it works fine on the incredible. Who do you guys think brought more to the table today google maps or bing?

Are you running an AOSP ROM? It appears that's the issue. I'm on CM 6.1 and it doesn't work but stock Incredibles seem to be fine.

Confirmed. And sad

FYI, the problem with rotating the map is the gesture enabled feature. Nobody here is claiming the map won't rotate via the compass selection on the top right. That works fine and the map rotates the direction you're facing. The problem is the 2-finger rotation isn't working (isn't rotating the map the direction your 2-fingers rotate on the map). The 2-finger 3-D pan option works fine.
Running CM 6.1 stable FYI.
HTC Incredible is listed as a supported device of all features. Wonder what gives...

2 fingers and scroll one down only

Both features work fine for me, I'm on SkyRaider Sense.

As others have said, this feature doesn't work on AOSP roms as they are based, almost to a tee, on the Nexus One framework.
Just read up on on the same problem in the Droid Incredible Android Development forum under the CM 6.1 Stable Release thread.

Nothing works for me (Stock 2.1, rooted, s-off), no 3d, no rotate.

I am on CM6.1 and it works just fine.. in order to use the 3D you have to "tilt" the map down.. .you do that by running two of your fingers donw the screen as a way of tilting the plan view of the map to show the tilted view. You have to be zoomed IN a bit around buildings etc.. close enough to see the 3d outline of the topography.
Rotation with the two fingers also seem to work fine for me.

Tapping on the maps wallpaper zooms in. Is there a possibility to zoom out again. Cannot find a way.

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.

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??
Cant find an option called "live wallpapers "

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.

[Need help from a dev] Leaked - Sony Ericsson 2.3.4 Launcher 2.0.A.0.20

Can any dev get this working for the sensation? It works, but FC on the app drawer if you try to sort the apps. It also needs adjusted to the qhd screen too.
EDIT: The pinch while in homescreen doesn't work either. EDIT 2: Just found it FC on long press of the home screen too.
The thread is located HERE and has the apk file in the op.
From what I've seen though, it's smooth and fast on a stock sensation (this doesn't mean it fully works). It works to an extent.
Thanks.
Here's the launcher in action
I downloaded the apk..and everything works fine...no fc on app drawer or anything

When in the app dawer, press the arrow in the bottom left. Also, the icons are not aligned right on the right side. There's a gap that's bigger than the left.

[Q] Cyanogenmod full landscape support?

I've just installed CM RC1 & I've accidentally discovered that WHOLE device can be used in landscape except on thing, the lockscreen. Is the whole landscape thing unintentional? Or is it something in progress.If it's unintentional can Nexx fully implement it or is it something that needs to be officially made by Cyanogenmod? Thanks a million for Nexx for bringing us CM for our device & I hope that it's HIS version gets official. I also noticed now that the dialer isn't landscape.

I think there's an option in the dialler preferences to allow it to be used in landscape
Also, I've noticed that when I hit dismiss/snooze on the alarm in landscape mode, I get a flash of the lockscreen in landscape for a few seconds before reverting back to portrait...?
Thanks! Your right about the dialer. But about the flash of landscape, that even happened to me in stock HTC Sense in lock & home screen so probably it's just a glitch or something.

Great, great feedback. Thank you!
Some of these are already on our plate - working on getting dock customization in ASAP - but those that aren't are going straight from your keyboard to the developer's ears. Thanks, again!
My phone's being repaired right now, so I can't try this. Are scrolling widgets supported?
Awesome work !! Really a good launcher. Makes my iFriends go green
Will post any features needed/ bugs
willing to try this and have great faith in the project. I love seeing a launcher with a difference and will download in the morning to my vibrant running cyanogen mod. finally if you are in need of a beta tester please let me know and I will do anything to help.
I like it.
Down points-
Slow to scroll from screen to screen
Confused on how to resize widgets.
I didn't see how to change what screen goes in what order. Example-I could never get my homescreen to be the middle screen instead of the 1st screen.
I think I'd like a swipe up gesture that allows quick screens glance rather than the middle dock button being the quick screen glance.
I give you props on this. It's turning out nicely and will continue to do so!

Gotcha.
In terms of the widget resizing, if you long hold on a widget and tap 'Resize' you'll notice the bounding box + arrows pop up. From there, you should be able to resize by tapping and dragging on the arrows to get the dimensions needed (if you're not seeing the arrows or that functionality's not working, definitely let me know).
Re: setting the order of screens - we don't have that included now, but it's already in the works for a release in the very short-term.
Lastly, hadn't considered the upward swipe gesture idea. Let me stew on it for a bit and see if there's something we can do there.
Thanks for taking the time to drop the feedback - love it!
I am trying the Launcher (although I prefer plain vanilla LauncherPro). It's tricky trying to get use to using this. I am so use to using an almost empty, plain desktop.
I wanted to try this because of the news feeds as it seems easier than opening the browser and going to the news sites.
really good, but on my sensation (960x540 px resolution) the themes doesnt resize properly, there are blurry icons and backgrounds. only the widgets are looking ok. i hope youll make it compatible with qHD (960x540) resolution.
glad to see that you are working on the screen order feature
a setting to change the transition effect and a running apps panel (task manager) would be very nice!
i dont like the photos panel, i cant scroll through the photos when i select one from the list, i must first go in fullscreen mode... it should be more like gallery 3D ^^
waiting for the next update

Totally understand - it's a bit of a departure from layouts featured in ADW, LauncherPro, etc.
In fact, one area in which we need to improve in is explaining the basics of Claystone. Once you play around with it it starts to come together, but we've got to do a better job in bridging that gap.
Thankfully, I've got a Word doc in front of me ready to be dumped into an HTML layout with the aim of having that ready within the week!

Of those, I can tell you that a 'Running Tasks' panel is ridiculously close to being included (as in: we've had it in there, but haven't quite finalized it yet in deference to other features).
In terms of qHD compatibility and revised photo functionality, I can't promise that they'll be featured in the next build or two, but can say I'll bring them to the team and see where we can slide them in on a priority scale amidst other feature development.
Really appreciate you helping out - thanks!

Air View works with Google Chrome

Some fantastic news, today, by chance I realised that Air View works with Google Chrome while the air view toggle was off. I tried several times and it works fine but after a while stopped working so I restarted the phone and the hovering feature was still there.
This feature is relay useful specially in those websites with lots of menus where you can open them without touching the screen and redirecting to other pages as if your mouse pointer is hovering on a link or menu in your PC. You may give it a try in websites like tesco with lots of menus and sub menus.
Sounds like Google is working on some new features for its future phones.
Just note that my phone is a stock with the messy MH8 firmware and I turned off airview and air gesture and restarted the device, then it started working.
I wish you can experience this cool thing, if not so. don't blame me, just ask for a clip or something

What is the version? I tried on mine ... didn't seem to work ... and using air view as demonstrated in the video is most useful ... in fact when i first read about the air view, i thought that would be the most useful implementation of it in a browser which apparently took a year to happen ...

Using activity launcher go to setting scroll down to air view you find three of them
finger air view and mouse air view open them and enable every thing
The third is pen hovering don't open it ,it will force close the settings
Instead go to pen setting and enable it from there .
Now it worked for me in chrome ,and in the notifications you can hover to see a message like Whatsapp

Air view is working in Chrome for me again I've noticed. It did once before but as soon as I went into the air view settings page it stopped. Also air view is working in the launcher as well? Hovering over a folder expands the icons a bit around the icon similar to when using a mouse and putting the pointer over it.
I used the multimedia dock recently with a USB keyboard and mouse, and I think that's when it started again! So there could also be a link between using a mouse and then air view afterwards!?
Seems to be working in all sorts of apps. WhatsApp, outlook.com. Its like I've got an invisible mouse pointer that's being controlled by air view.
Edit: just tried out Microsofts RD client and I can indeed move the pointer about on the windows desktop just by hovering over the screen. (it's a bit difficult to control though!)
Sent from my GT-I9500
I think maybe what some1 here is experiencing is just a normal touch click, because the screen of S4 is over sensitive, you may click on something even when you aren't touching the screen at all... so you hover over the screen, the screen recognizes a touch but for a very short time so some tabs or lists on websites may open, I can do it with touching too, just touch, and slide away from the list, it opens.
Well I used the dock again and now it's stopped again it's definitely not the over sensitive nature of the screen as you say, in my case.
