I haven't seen much talk about the Google gesture search app. They just released a new version which works on the note. This is one of the best apps

So Google just updated Maps on the market to 5.0, and the vector-based drawing engine is soooo much smoother than the old raster-based engine.
However, I've been trying to find a way to "tilt" the map down into 3D view, and can't seem to find a way since our X10 lack multi-touch and the gesture is a two-finger slide. According to Google's own gesture notes under Help in the app, the X10 should support the tilt gesture (unless of course Google messed up in listing the X10 there).
Anyone figured out how to tilt the map in Google Maps 5 on your X10?
If not, anyone willing to create some hacks that add buttons to the interface to mimic MT gestures?
-edit-
Here (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1079043) is the Google support article listing the X10 as "support panning, zooming, and tilting gestures only."
Here (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1079041) is the Google support article showing that to 'Tilt' the view into 3D, you perform a two-finger vertical slide, something impossible without multi-touch support.
Really is it so much nicer?!
One time I tried to update Google Maps (during the 1.6 period) and I did it "illegally" using Market Enabler because this download is not available in my country.
Right after that my battery started sucking like crazy and the Spare Parts app showed that the new update of Google Maps was responsible.
So I restored to previous version (everything back to normal) and I never updated Gmaps ever again! But with that post I am sooo tempted to try!
I have to admit the google maps is a lot faster, but i am also wondering how to get it to 3D

I've edited my OP with a link to the article that shows to get into 3D view you need to perform a multi-touch gesture.
I've also posted a request on for Brut Google Maps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887) to include alternatives to the MT gestures for tilt and rotate.
Only a few phones support the new 3D feature. The X10 is not on the list. Neither is the HTC Desire. You need a new phone with a 'real' multitouch display like the Nexus S.
I can not find. whether there is a apk.

Actually, if you read the first link in my OP, you'll see that it's multi-touch gestures that are not supported on the X10 and Nexus One, not 3D as you stated. This makes sense as the X10 lacks MT support, and the Nexus One (as well as the HTC Desire which is also on that list) have MT axis crossing issues that would prevent the rotate gesture from working.

It showed up form me as an update available for Maps in the market.
What country are you in?
east europe
click the icon in the top right corner for compass mode search for san fransisco zoom in... badabing!!! 3D
This also supports cached maps for offline nav apparently, anyone know if it would be possible for instance to download full UK maps to pre cache them? Data use is bad otherwise using google nav, dont fancy driving up and down every road in the country at a set zoom and view to pre cache myself! lol
I have been bouncing around testing many different ROM's and finally settled on Core Droid Froyo build.
What I noticed is that the car panel app now appears to be tied to a Premium Nav subscription. Voice dialer tells me that I have an invalid license and the Nav buttons are grayed out.
Previous ROM's including rooted stock appeared to use Google Nav as part of the car panel.
What am I missing here?
Update, easy work around for this is to grab the google car home app in use it for the car feature.
It will not load on this phone from the app store, so you will have to find an alternative dowload of the apk to install.
Works good, uses google maps and is semi customizable.
Hi. Go to Settings>location and select integrate google navigation
tried that still doesnt have the option for gps in car panel ...ill have to try to track down the original .apk
Google search for google car home APK, the second like is to a droid-life page.
The second link worked for me. Installed fine, and when I clicked the "car panel" app it asked me to use the Sense app or the Google one. I choose the Google app and it's working great.

Thanks for the tip, worked great for me. After checking I have the option of premium or google navigation. Exactly what I would hope for.
Just got my M8 today. Love it so far. Went ahead and s-off/root/bootloader unlock'd it, and have been getting it back to AOSP as much as possible (GEL & Xposed FTW).
One of the things i've been trying to find a way to fix, is to use Google Now voice search for the swipe down action for when the dot case is on and the screen is off (for those without the case, it launches HTC's own voice search which sucks IMHO). I use Tasker/Autovoice + Google Search API to control my home automation via Google Now, and it would be awesome to be able to do so just by swiping down on the case.
Any thoughts/ideas/resolutions?
Thanks!
Hello :victory:
If you have a Nexus device, you are at the right place!
I'm sure you have already launched Google Now unintentionally when you were scrolling your favorite app, isn't it annoying?
It drives me crazy so I have developed a simple app to disable that.
(It is impossible to completely disable it, so this app just launch nothing instead of Google Now, but the gesture is still present)
Here is a quick video:
And the link to the market:
Gesture disabler for Nexus
Enjoy falks
useful tool
Could you please tell me how to add this gesture listener to my app?
Hello, I would to request more customizations for the Oneplus 6 gestures to Oneplus. Question is if it has some kind of support here (maybe the devs can look into it).
I went from soft buttons (Oneplus One) to the op6 gestures but what am I missing is:
custom mapping swipe up/and hold for the left and right
So you can map search, menu, assistant, last app and so on.
What do you think?
Use gesture controls next level navigation for the play store. It much better for gestures I've been using since I had my 5T it has various customization options.
I can also recommend the Gesture Controls App, but it can do the most important things only with root. Also it would be nice to have customization in the stock gestures since they in my opinion are a lot smoother and work a lot better than the ones in the Gesture Controls app
oneplusgestures app does what you're looking for.
