Hey,
I just upgraded to the new Google Maps 5.0. I don't see anything different. I dont see the compass or any of the two finger swiping stuff. I'm on Android 2.1 stock. Are certain features only available on Froyo etc?
I'm using a froyo rom, and the 3d stuff isnt working here
I'm using elelinux 2.2 (froyo) and if u go to Manhattan for example and zoom in you see 3d-models of the buildings (street map).
The 2-finger-rotation is not working for me either
yea same here... I think they've region-locked the feature
Mine doesn't even seem to do the vector smooth zooming. It's still blocky when you zoom in like in the old one. What's going on?
same here.. mays well have saved the data from the download...4.70 was as good 5 is so locked why bother pushing it??? nothing new unless have latest devices...
Son: I am disappoint!
You promess new goodness and then it's not for us.
No real changes, 3d Buildings look a bit more angled in maximum zoom level.

I've got them too, I just cant angle it using 2 fingers down the screen
It's not region-locked. I'm in the UK and my mate has a Desire HD and can do two-finger rotation easily on Google Maps 5 (Sense/Android 2.2), not sure about 3D Buildings though (maybe only in San Francisco), maybe it's locked to devices that don't have a high enough graphics/processing power?
EDIT: Saying that, it doesn't work for me either. Both on RCMix2.2b (Sense/Android 2.1) and FroydVillain 1.7.2.
Nothing for me either. Wasn't expecting 3D but at least the vectors would be nice. I guess they just put a bar on hardware and said "below this and we just don't give a shoot about any of the features. buy new hardware ffs you'r fone is like a year old c'mon get with the program!"

Could you give us a few more details as how you got it?
How do you enable it? from the menu? You have the GSM Hero? What ROM are you running? etc etc
Many Thanks

The compas icon just takes me back to my current location! Do you have any additonal layers applied to the map?
There are indeed 3D building in the latest Google Maps on HTC Hero.
Attached is the screen capture somewhere in NYC.

My hero has 3d buildings, in another topic someone suggests installing the latest street view to get it working, not sure what that has to do with anything. But i did it and it seems to have worked. For me unless I've gone over the screen in a certain zoom and do this multiple times the map won't zoom seemlessly. I am in China and I got the google maps 5.0 from xda. Running stock 2.1
3D buildings have been available in Google Maps for ages now. 5.0 adds the ability to tilt and turn them round. The Hero doesn't appear to allow either of these.
I'm using Cronos (Eclair) and 3d buildings are working ..
Slide down the screen with two fingers is working, not rotation.
has anyone got compass rotation?

Inspired by the Wuvuzela app (and possibly by the announcement of Portal 2 at E3), I've developed a simple little application that allows you to blow into your phone's microphone to blow out candles on a cake.
The options screen, displayed before running the app, now allows you to Calibrate your device's microphone. Simply touch "Calibrate", press OK, and blow into your phones mic until told to stop. The minimum decibels needed blow out the candles are now set to your current environment.
You can also enable the tune, which will play the Happy birthday tune after blowing out the candles.
Finally, you can change the preset message to something more personal, such as "Happy Birthday, Michele!"
Features:
-Blow out candles with your phones mic
-Custom birthday message
-Calibrated to your environment
-New, prettier birthday cake
-Happy birthday tune played in the background
Tested and working on my HTC HD2, but should work on other devices as well.
Let me know what you think/if you have any problems.

That's strange, I suppose the app can't get a hold on your devices microphone. Again, it's only been tested on the HD2.
Nice Application......Thanks
work great on omnia even just half screen...thank..
thanks for this good idea ! But in my HTC Touch HD, doesn't work : the candle is still there even if I blow strongly...
Nice app. But bad for your HD2's mic (corrosion!).
Didn't work on Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000)
Nice application.
But will be better if we can edit the message.
Thank you very much for application. Today is my birthday, even I can't switch off the candle.
I will try to restart the phone just in case.

Happy Birthday! Buy a real cake and share it with family and friends
If I may give my input
I think this application is useless, however many people like useless applications. To be quite honest, I think If you added the happy birthday song within the app that could be played on demand, that would create a much higher demand for it. I know there have been times when its someones birthday and I wish I could play the birthday song..... If this idea intrigues you let me know when you add it so I can be the first to test it out.... seems pretty simple....Good luck
great start....has great potential !!! why not try a new app of bits of paper.....that fly in pointed direction when blown in the mic ????

Thank you very much. Of course I bought a real cake for my friends. I have installed this app only for fun!
Happy holiday to all of you!
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Once I get off vacation, I'll be sure to see about adding these features.
Also, can anyone see about getting me a cake image I can edit? One without a giant Portal gun?
Well today was the first day back to work after receiving my EVO 3D. Of course everyone knows me and my thing for phones and they wanted to check it out. They wanted to see some YouTube videos they had been hearing about. Boy was that a joke, I couldn't even show this thing off! It won't even make it through a video without it stalling. I'm not sure what to do now, love the phone but with data that barely works, this smartphone is useless to me. I kept my EVO 4G just in case but I really want to be able to use the new phone, not sure what to do...wait on HTC or return. I really hope HTC does something fast!

Oops didn't mean to thank you lol.
Anyway my connection is just fine...I can watch youtube videos on anywhere on 3g with no problem
Are you sure it isn't sprints overloaded network that isn't failing? Mine does fine.
Not having issues but YouTube does prompt you that WiFi will be the best connection since 3D videos use the most data. You can try this alternative.

I had the same problem. I was only gettung 25k dL speeds. I tried everything. even returned the phone for another, only to have the same problem. (at least my new one didnt have dirt trapped under the screen). I ran across a way to boost your download speeds by changing the proxy settings. Right after I did this mod it was a little better. Then I rebooted and now im getting consistant 1600k downloads in 3g.

Is possible where I live. there is no 4G. Now, At peak times it probably wont work to well, but I'm not really watching too much 3d content. I've been showing the green hornet to people, that's about it.
I really hope this is a radio issue rather than the network since the Sensation suffers from a similar issue. Speedtest results are pathetic for me (70kbps average and some rare 250kbps... Hurray!!) and coming from TMobile with speeds over 6mbps its just sad. Hope HTC addresees this soon. Glad i have wifi at home

lol, yeah you're right, but even 2d vids stall!
So I just got back from the Sprint store and they had signs up at the repair counter saying there was 3g problems. Kinda weird because the EVO 4G has no issues. Who knows, I'll wait it out longer and see if it improves, annoying though.
I searched and could not find an answer...
Anyone able to get the Evo 4G keyboard (with directional arrows) working on the 3d?
(I know swiftkey and some other have tiny arrows, but I want the HTC keyboard...)
thanks.
Ditto, has anyone gotten this to work yet? I can't believe this hasn't been a priority. That an multi deletion in the native e-mail app are the only things I need to be completely satisfied now.
Really hated the arrows I'm happy there gone, but to your question it might look weird since is different resolution, but you can try perfect keyboard , you can swype up on the space key, and get some arrows, I liKe that keyboard, remind me alot of the Droid x keyboard with gingerbread mix. And is free

Japan, thanks, but I have tried that one and several others that have inferior arrows or you have to tale extra steps to get to them like that one.
I think I just got wood with the mention of possibly getting the one from the sensation, please keep me in the loop if anyone gets this done.
Thanks for the tip. I will try that Perfect one out.
Perfect Keyboard is very good - finally one with a wide enough space bar!

anyone able to pull the evo 4g keyboard yet?
I've been waiting so long for this. A port from the EVO 4G or the EVO View. I really miss the arrows and can't stand using any other keyboard other then the HTC one. Let's hope we can get something. Fingers are still crossed
Sent from my double barrel Shooter. BANG!
Im still waiting on this as well. Ive tried Smart Keyboard and its pretty good, but its not quite the same as the Evo 4G HTC keyboard....
lol i can't believe this is still going on. i remember these threads going on the MINUTE we got S-OFF
Lol I know right?! Im shocked no one has been able to port over the keyboard from the Evo 4G!
Wow, I had been looking for a keyboard with a large spacebar. Loving perfect keyboard right now. Thanks
Please someone ..... Port the HTC Keyboard with arrows, mabey even the EVO View 4G/ Flyer keyboard.

Meanwhile I've been using Go Keyboard...
I've also started using the Hydro Bliss ROM and it has the HTC keyboard with the Arrows but it has a little bit of Sizing Problems to Work out...
ScreenShot Below...
Man thats the keyboard I miss so much! You got a screen shot of the keyboard in landscape mode? Also you think it would be possible to ask the dev if he can upload the .apk for that HTC keyboard he uses in his ROM? Then maybe we can have another dev work on sizing it correctly for our phones.

I can confirm that it works just fine on my original Transformer (TF101), so it should work on additional tablets running Honeycomb (3.1.x) or later.
how about android phones?

The minimum supported API version equates to Android 2.2. It might work, but it probably won't be optimal due to resource requirements for the tablet sized images.
Works really great on Samsung Galaxy S2 - didn't expect that! Thanks for sharing.

M an HD2 user and have been able to apply all your modded ASUS live wallpapers without any issue. This one too works but having the same issue - hollow block for whale. Hopefully, you can provide us a fix. In case, not possible, at least if you can guide me to remove that block. I can be happy with even without the whale, since the scenery itself look gorgeous....

No... charging bubbles are just fine and shown properly. The white block is only for whale. Rotation is also working without any issues.
Installed on my ATrix4g. But when I go to look at it or apply it as wallpaper, it force closes. same thing happened on other APK or widgets I pulled from prime rom dump.

Also, just figured out that clicking on the settings button force closes this wallpaper (at least in my case). No big deal, since it could be just the option of "Enable/Disable Water Rotation", which is anyway Enable by default. Just keeping you posted.
It does work on my TF but the water does not react as fluid to movement as with the other Water Live wallpaper that you made.

Did you try both of the available options under settings?
I really didn't "make" the wallpaper. I simply pulled it from a system dump, deodexed it, signed it, zip aligned it, and shared it here. I do plan on tinkering with it a bit when I have some free time.
Yes, I tried both settings. But the water does not moves smooth.
But you did 'made' the Rubber Duckie Live wallpaper?! That and
No-Go on the Sensation. Everything loads and looks great for a good 3 seconds and then FC.
But thanks. No biggie. Just going to wait for the Prime to actually sell so I can buy one. LOL
Hi @jshmier
Looking forward to a tweaked version of this wallpaper, to get rid of the white block for the whale on some devices, if at all you find time for the same.

Not sure when I noticed it but I cant figure out how to fix it. Its on almost all roms I run, could something be wrong with my phone? Might of started around the 1.22 update, but i was running PKMN at the time, and switched to MeanROM 2.1. Im now on Viper4G and the issue still there, its mainly in maps and minecraft, don't notice it in any other apps or games.
On Google Maps, the street names and sometimes location error dont appear right, they stretch as if italic font is being used and switches back, alternating streets and such. In minecraft the background, buttons, or certain objects like blocks or mountains flicker in and out.

Swyped on my EVO LTE
My first EVO 4G LTE (recieved in early June) had Google Maps flickering so badly that I returned the phone! Sprint thought it was probably a hardware problem.
I took a video of it before I returned it:

The new phone has never done it.

It looks like that on mine also (Google Maps)
Edit: On second glance, some streets are twisted (so is the font) but yours looks like Italics on even the straight streets. Is that a custom font? Because:
Be careful with custom fonts too, if any apps call on Roboto.tff they can look a little unaligned. - zmag

its not all bad, you still can run custom roms and kernels and flash the majority of tweaks and updates. just not firmware but thats not much issue. Some one did notice that if you use that full back up program listed somewhere around here, you can backup first, without root, and when you restore, the stuff saying you messed with the phone is gone lol not sure about the tampered or unlocked messages though
