Hi guys,
I have just upated my google maps to version 5, but I cant see no change.
Im just curious if Google Maps 5 features such as vector data, compass rotation and offline navigation will be available also for HTC wildfire/buzz
Sadly its not listed in supported phones
Compass rotation works for me.
Note:
» Rotating gestures require Android OS 2.2 or later.

I second this. I can't really see any technical reasons for Maps not working on the Wildfire, but then again I'm not a coder. It would be interesting to know though so if a coder would explain I'd be happy.
Yep, it works on the Wildfire too.
I can't seem to get any new features working in cyanogenmod nightly, do you need to reboot the phone or something?
Unfortunately neither me use Cyanogen 6.1 Stable

me neither. MoDaCo rom with froyo. :'(
Installed the update yesterday and running on WildPuzzle froyo
Edit: updated to 5 but no new features..
The only change I have found is the 3D buildings. None of that fancy rotation and such on my 2.1 ROM.

Go a little south of Central Park, there are plenty of 3D buildings in that area.
Using cm 6.1. The compass works in street view mode. You can get street view mode by long press on map, then tap pop up, then tap little man icon. Press menu then tap compass mode.

I believe this was introduced with a street view update a while back. The new compass mode is for the maps themselves which rotate depending on your direction, the labels should auto rotate too. I don't think the Wildfire supports this function though?
How can I receive the update? I still have 4.5... I run the official froyo, tried searching it on the market, however I couldn't find it...

For those people that enjoy the use of the Genius button and Dragon Dictation.
This is the Genius button app that came stock with the MT4G/Glacier put into a flashable zip. It was taken from the stock MySense Rom and has been confirmed working on CM7 nightly #5+ at the time of this post. It also includes the app called Button Shortcut (free on market). It can be used to open any app using the Genius Button. It should also work on HTC Froyo Roms too. Much thanks to the CM team for making CM Roms compatable with these apps.
This needs to be flashed/installed from ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it just
like you would flash a rom. You should not need to wipe anything first.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this.
[Download Here]
So just flash the file and it will automatically work with the button or is it just the app itself?

You want to flash it just like you would a rom. It will only add the apps not configure the button.
But I will be including the app called "Button Shortcut" (free in the market) in the zip but I haven't had a chance to put it in there yet. Probably will later tonight if I get time. For now you can just download it from the market. Just install it and have it open Genius on the longpress of the search button (our genius button) that us as close as you can get to the original function but its better cause you get text search on normal press and Genius on longpress.

It opened Car Home fine for me but I have reverted back to stock and the app on stock is a little different. It is called car dock and it seems to possably be intertwined with HTC Sense. I am checking it out and will get back to you.

I am on build #5. I would imagine that build #3 was before CM7 was coded to work with this app. I would suggest upgrading from that nightly to one that is a little more recent.

Ok, after Nandroiding back to stock a couple times and throughly checking out the "Car Dock" app in it there are 2 things I have to say. It is a HTC app and uses the components of Sense, so it will not work. Second...I would definitely use the "Car Home" app that is on CM. It is 10 times better. The stock sense app only has 5 choices of things to open but the Car Home app on CM has the ability to open 23 different things. You can set a button for it to open Genius just like the stock HTC one does. I also have Vlingo (free in market) and have set a place to open the "Vlingo InCar" app. That gives you a very nice hands free experience for driving.
All you have to do is push the genius button and say:
"Open Car Home" and it will open the app.
Check it out...
Hope this helps.
this was working great for me up until about 30 minutes ago when after checking out the car dock in cm7, someone sent me a text and instead of having to read it normally - hands-free mode kicked in and played it outloud. now after quitting the car dock, instructing the app to turn off, rebooting phone, even pulling the battery out for a few, hands-free mode will not turn off no matter what. there's a genius button icon in the notification bar as well that is stasis. anyone else having this issue? any ideas on how to correct it?
edit #1: I finally killed it by pulling battery while phone was on. All is fine for now, though I wonder if it would happen again.
edit #2: if it means anything, i'm using gosms and the #7 nightly.

Ok...i just checked this out. For some reason dragon dictation is continuing to run. You can give the command to genius to turn off car mode and it says it does but the icon is still up there. Not sure if it is ready in cart mode still our not. You can go to settings/applications and force close the dragon dictation app to remove it from your status bar. I will so some more checking and see if I can figure anything out for this prob.

i believe it is. as long as that icon is in the notification bar, any incoming text message was read outloud - even after the reboots.
thanks for looking into this. either way, it's a simple fix if it happens again.
just quick note: when installing in clockwork...dragon dictation is misspelled
it says dragon dicktation instead of dictation

Ok...you can also say "hands free off" and it will turn off. Icon will stay for some reason. I rebooted and it disappeared and I haven't been able to get it to do put up the icon again. Even if I tell it to turn hands free on. Not sure what's up hands free seems to be working great tho

Video chat works without a hitch on CM 7.1 RC. If you're having bad quality issues try switching to low video resolution.

Second that. Videochat not working on RG 2.1. Just a bunch of colored blocks on the screen.

I would expect a lot of the newer ROMS (Including updates to current ones) will add this as a feature.
Also, a few gripes about this.
1. It only does landscape. Is it supposed to be able to do portrait?
2. Our ffc is slanted so it has to be in a slightly awkward position.
MIUI 1.6.24 not working just comes up with blocks on the screen and no streaming of the blocks.
side note: this rom ver. has a issue with the front camera is upside down
but Cm7 nightly works
I installed in MIUI V.1.7.1 and it seems to be working.

That's just the problem, holding the menu button does nothing, and my lockscreen only has the camera and unlock.
Most likely then CM didn't finish Google Now since in one of their videos the one phone had the same problem since they didn't finish Google Now on it but fixed it after. Probably next release or so it'll be there.
Go to the app manager in the settings go to all and see if you have Google search

I had this same problem but mine was to due to the fact that I flashed gapps after booting up the phone for the first time. I went back into recovery, full wipe, flashed Rom and immediately after flashed 7-16 Gapps and when reboot was done I had google now. Maybe you can give this a shot if you haven't already.
Does anyone know where i could get my hands on this rom? I looked in the latest update and it wasnt there to download. Also i found it on dev-host but the links arent working. I click download and it goes to a "couldnt not find" google page. So if anyone has it download would they mind uploading.. Please and thanks in advance.

Hi everybody.
I have paired many smartphones with my car. Samsung Galaxy S, S Plus, iPhone 4, etc...
With my Desire X, it works, but the car display can´t read contacts on the phone. I´ve tried with stock rom (Vodafone branded) and with a new custom rom (Half Sense). I´ve got the same problem. I´ve experienced 2 weird issues:
1) The first time I paired the device (with stock rom), the contact list appeared. Once I left the car and returned, no more contacts (No entries).
2) If you search through the call list, you can actually see contact names instead of numbers! But when someone is calling you, the phone number is displayed (no name).
Music and data through bluetooth is working properly.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. As I can´t post in developers forums, I would like to suggest to MarteenXDA about his rom (Half Sense), which works great by the way.
1) Some kind of quick setting in the status bar.
2) Gallery is not working properly (many FC).
3) Please, add GTalk & Swype in v 0.8
In half sense, if you pull down the notification bar and click the carrier's name, you get quick settings...

Swype Beta is much better than Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture typing. More precise and better looks.
Anyway, we can always install it later. So far, your rom is great. Good work and thanks.
