Has anyone taken the stock gallery application and added multitouch to it. I have been searching for this but have yet to find it. A working multitouch google maps app would be nice too. Why is it that i have only seen a multitouch browser app?
any ideas or have i just not found them yet

Adding multi touch isnt as easy as putting nitrous in a car or upgrading the suspension system for better stability while you driving down a mountain @150Mph with two officers riding behind you panicking for there lives.
couldn't developers just use the same code that was put on the browser?

No, it requires edits to kernels and such to even enable multitouch. That is the reason the new eclair hero builds don't have multitouch, they don't have a kernel that supports it.
oh ok bummer thanks for the answer i spent a lot of time looking.
Actually, those answers are incorrect.
Though yes, it does require kernel mod, that is not the thing preventing it from being added to the maps app.
The thing preventing it from being added to the maps app is the SOURCE CODE. It was added to the browser because the browser is open source.
It COULD be added to the gallery, since it is open source too. (though I can't imagine why anyone would want to -- works fine as it is).
It can NOT be added to maps because maps is CLOSED SOURCE.

Ok then, thanks for clarifying
Motorola droid now has multitouch gallery, but according to Cyanogen it is not working on donut.
But as far as I know there are ROMs exist support multitouch gallery for HTC G1/G2.

Would anyone want the CM6 Browser w/Incognito Mode ported to the vibrant? I just contacted @Optedoblivion on twitter maybe we can get this started. Can we just pull over the apk? Or do we have to modify any framework files?
If anyone is interested in getting this started feel free to share it here. I'd be also interested in porting over some other CM6 features. We might not get a full CM6 rom for a while so why not port over some of the stuff?
Why do you need that? what exactly are you going to do with it
I for one am very interested in this and any other possible ports!

Incognito mode aka porn mode
I'm for getting that ported, useful feature, even some might be embarrassed to admit it.
I don't know much about porting but I can code pretty well
Just take his AOSP Rom, it's already modded and only need the kernel change to one of my kernel's.. it boots perfect & you could add back Twiz if needed..
I had it running for a few days, only thing left to due was Mod the Dialer & contacts to stock & I never had time to look it over..
I too would love this app for JI6 Stock. I like the stock ROM and like to just mod it to work. The Music port from CM6 is amazing.
I would kill to have any version of the CM browser working on my Vibrant. I miss my options to turn off the zoom controls, among others, and despite everyone saying that Incognito Mode is solely for porn, it's a handy feature for debugging websites. Want to be certain that you're not working from cached data, or with cookies that are left over from your last session? Incognito Mode to the rescue! Turn on Incognito Mode and you don't have to wipe all your saved history, cookies, and cache, but you can still check out your newest changes to your site as if you had.
But I think the main road block to a port (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that it would mean loosing the basic Flash support that we now enjoy in the stock browser.
No one has actually tried to just copy over the files, I imagine?

I'm interested in being able to change the useragent properly... A simple copy over won't work. A genius like eugene373 would have to handle this probably Lool.
I haven't spent much time debugging it myself so I honestly don't know. I could try compiling it from source from CM6 git and logcatting from there but I'm a busy guy...

A simple copy over might work using the fascinate browser with acompanying libs. Possibly without. Im pretty sure the fascinate is using the stock eclair browser which can switch user agents. If that works properly assuming that my lack of sleep hasnt made me retarded yet. It shouldnt be too difficult to get the cm5 browser to work on our 2.1 roms. I mean thats a positive step right?
Edit: so I was wrong about the fascinate. But I have gotten the cm5.0.8 browser to load up but force closes when I enter browser settings. Any one interested in taking a look?
Why not just use the commands on the current browser works just fine by typing into the browser about:debug for debugging options obviously about:useragent to switch modes other commands I havent found a use for so I don't remember them but you can google them.

Hey I just released a branched version of Droid Reader specifically for Honeycomb tablets. It's still in the development phase, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw what I have out on the market so people can get to it. Let me know if you have any problems or suggestions.
You will need to relaunch the application after you authenticate the first time (or hit back on the authentication browser window).
I'm hoping to eventually merge this back in with the actual Droid Reader project, but I have to get ahold of the project owners first. If they end up releasing a tablet edition I'll probably just pull this app.

So far it's surprisingly smooth and stable, had one crash but that's cause I had Tapatalk and Sumarai 2 open in the background. At least I think that's why. Keep up the great work, and I love this so much it got rid of Google Reader( Google didn't even make a Google Reader app for Honeycomb? What the hell?)

When you are on the list of RSS feeds you select one and then it takes you to that feed, I would assume to go back to the list all you would have to do is tap the back button, but that does nothing just flip through the articles you have seen, I thought that the back button would take you back to the RS feed list view.

I just installed and can verify it works.
edit: it requested an odd permission (sj), i am not sure what that stands for, so I denied it.
edit2: I am assuming the permission was for cloud access
edit 3: "If your music doesn't sync after installing, simply head into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clear data. Should work after that."
Works well for me. It probably wont be a regular use app for me but it is better than music 3 was.

Yea, been using it since last night quite often and no problems to report. I like the navigation a lot more than the previous version.
Only concern is the permission it requested. Not sure what 'sj' means....could be a test build thing.

Supposedly, you can dl a 3rd party eq from the market and it integrates with the app. Here's a comment from the android police post. For me, I don't need one because I'm on CM7 which comes with DSPManager
Download Equalizer from the Market, my Google Music when I press Menu, Sound Effects it automatically opens that app as if it were part of it without asking what app to use. That was on 3.0.1 though, haven't tried with this one yet.

I'm using Koush's CM9 Alpha 12 ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 with the Franco kernel, and I'm saddened that it's sorely missing one big feature that i'm used to in the NSCollab ROM i came from. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959282)
In the stock Android 2.3.3 that came with the phone, if the Facebook app was installed, it could sync contacts over from your account, including phone numbers, emails, and pictures. The OTA 2.3.4 removed that function, as Google had deemed it as a violation of their TOS.
NSCollab (based off of CM7), which i'd used since 2.3.5, enabled that function somewhere in the system files, and it was fully usable, no questions asked. The CM9 build i'm using, however, lacks that feature.
I've compared both of their build.prop files and don't see any differences that would stand out, and I'm at an impasse here. I'm almost determined to find the setting in the CM7 ROM that allows Facebook syncing on this device and be able to use it in CM9. I'm not sure i want to comb every system file, though. Any assistance?
The reason it works in custom ROMs is because they patch it to work. It's not a build.prop issue I do not believe. It is a bit deeper than that. Hopefully someone can she some light to get it working. It's a feature I use as well.
But that's the explanation "why" it does not work.. because it's not supposed to by design lol.
by no means do I have an answer but, syncmypix in the market is a decent alternative for the tome being.

I'd determined that long ago, but i'm almost certain there's a flag somewhere in the system files. My cousin has an HTC Thunderbolt (horrible phone on the stock ROM) running the stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it's enabled on it. I know that Google specifically disabled it on their flagship phones, and i want to know how they did it and how to reverse it.

I have tried Syncmypix, Friendcaster, and another one that tries to re-enable native syncing, but none of them work near as well as native syncing.
In GB it was in system\app\ContactsProvider.apk , one line need to be added which whitelists com.facebook.katana. Maybe it's the same in ICS.
[edit]
There, I looked it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978470
Here you can find the official statement from Google about Facebook sync:
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/02/23/google-drops-facebook-sync-nexus/
Anyway you can sync your contacts using Friendcaster and you can update your contact pics using syncmypix

I'd considered that, even set up a decompiling environment, but never got around to trying it. Just tried it, and found out that comparing the two ContactsProvider.apk files (from CM7 and CM9), that ICS does not use the arrays.xml that Gingerbread did. Adding it in, recompiling it, and signing it results in FC's and wiping out your contacts storage. Thank god for Titanium backup.
Edit: Derp, found out system apps aren't supposed to be signed. Trying again.

I well know what Google did, and i'm very disappointed in them. And i'd rather not use third-party apps if we can enable native syncing at the system level.
Pushing the unsigned apk doesn't cause FC issues, but it still doesn't sync. The Facebook app cuts off at "Other Settings". Does anyone want to test out the apk for me, see if they get the same results?
The APIs are different in ICS and doing the white list trick may not work. Check out the smali folder because there could be stuff that needs to be changed in there too...

I've already tried this. You'll be able to get the account to sync in Accounts, but the new contacts app is substantially different from the Gingerbread one... Like ^ says, I think a few smali edits have to be made to include this properly.

The S Pen SDK has not yet been updated to allow 3rd party applications to make use of it, so your list is going to contain mostly Samsung apps.
