Google Maps 5.0 Now with more 3-D - G1 Apps and Games

So I downloaded the update... but I can't seem to get any 3-D... I am running SparksMod 1.6... is it possible or am I just dumb? Or both?

me neither, not even the tilting, rotating, compass functions... not a single one.. in Hong Kong

Can you post Maps.apk file for this version ?

See my posts from another thread:

GMM uses old 2D maps with raster graphics for older devices. And caching is for vector maps only.
I'm working on hacking it to run 3D on my G1.

Done It runs not-so-slow on my G1/CM6.1 .
Multi-touch rotating doesn't work for me yet. This is weird cause pinch-to-zoom is enabled even on stock maps. Also I don't see 3D buildings in New York. I should see them, shouldn't I? I think there are multiple levels of "featureness" - there are many checks to enable/disable specific features depending on hardware, OS version, etc. I have to find these checks.

Sherpa App from MyTouch 3G

any way of getting this app / .apk to have it on our G1
looks pretty neat.

since the mytouch can't be rooted yet, probably not. I bet sherpa is going to be a protected app.
i bet we have this app in the next week because we have the best modders and developers here . The only way this app wont work is if it needs some sort of code and needs to talk to a server.... but i doubt it.
The App Isn't Out, I Believe Its Gonna Be In The Market, Because Everyone That Has The Phone Already Doesn't Have The App On The Phone, And It Said It Would Be Launched The Same Time As The Phone
a quick online search. and you can have the app on your G1.
its a neat idea..but kinda useless, all it does is search near you for food,movies,cafe's and such, same thing you can do with all other type of apps.

All right thanks. I couldn't install it. Says package not properly signed...To the person who said they were able to install it, could you pull it out and post an apk on rapidshare or something? Thanks
To fix the signing problem; simple folks
Uninstall the Sherpa you have and install from the market... looks like something to do with the signing and the same version number but a different signed key.
well i installed it like last week if u want i can upload the .apk

well i did say its the closest thing to 1.6 donut search lol. but i dont use aurora. i dont need it, plus it runs in the background on startup.i think it uses up 2mb of ram. so i suggest downloading "task panel" so u can kill applications running and free up ram.

Let's clear up this whole Nexus Launcher "Thing"

So everyone is wondering why the Nexus One Launcher just keeps FC'ing, and how come the Droid can just install, and WHAM! it works. ANY ANSWERS????
the droid luancher is just a themed Rosie.apk. we already have Rosie (sense UI). the nexus launcher is probley having shared uid issues or something. thats just a guess though.
I think you have me wrong, Im talking about the native nexus launcher not the rosie 2.1 combo
use the open eclair launcher2.apk it works fine

no i was explaining what the droid (themed) rosie was. the nexus launcher is going to need opengl 2.0 to be fully functional. and to get it to instal ur gonna need an aosp rom. we had aosp build on the heroc forum but things went south with the leak of a .29 kernel. causing the drivers for touch screen to not be compatible with anything but htc built and modified builds. but before the .27 kernel came along i backported the opengl drivers from the .29 kernel into the old .27 kernel enabling the 2.1 opengl drivers which are opengl 1.1 for the msm7k devices. the nexus one like many other new devices has a different arch and gpu that alows them to have opengl 2.0. our devices just dont support it. the best lwp we can get are only lwp from the market that are half baked/ home brewed lwp. so yeah ther is a chance u could port one of the few builds that have support for the nexus launcher and other nexus goodies. but in the end it will be fairly buggy as it was on the heroc. ie Eris and heroc are basicaly the same devices. only a few minor differances.

Seems to work fine for me now, with live wallpapers as well
I seem to remember that when the leak first came out there was some "issue" with the opengl that shipped inside of the update. That *might* be whats going on here. I'd suggest looking around for that thread, as there may be answers to your questions in it.
ya
I've been trying to say live wallpapers worked with the launcher2 from open eclair for a while..just not the wallpapers that ship with the phone

yeah the only real issue with the nexus one launcher that we had with the heroc, was the app tray was a little laggy and bothered a lot of people.
the lwp though were just issues with the stock lwp. like i said the ones in the market worked ok. some were a bit laggy though and would at times bring the phone to a crawl. i remember one did for sure. that was the "logcat lwp" i loved it but it was easily seen that lwp werent meant for our hardware.
but yeah i think its possible to get a few of the stock ones to work also. i cant remember what me a maejrep had to do to get them working. but i do remember them still being to buggy. but yeah most of the market ones were ok and would run for the most part fine.
I still cant find a working launcher2 someone please POST A LINK!!!!!!

The reason for the confusion is because hes on the earlier leaked 2.1 not the rooted 2.1

You got it working? Seems to work pretty well. Not choppy. Watching an episode of Chuck now. Full screen double tap alignment in browser is better than old version. I'm wondering if their version of flash player is out of Beta. With Verizon I understand it comes in the Rom, but we have to get it from the market. At any rate this one has been hacked.

[Q] Google Maps 5.0 Update no 3D tilt on HTC HERO

Can someone confirm if the Google Maps update 5.0 on Htc Hero has the 3D tilt
, cause when I swype down with two fingers all it does is zoom out , and doesnt tilt
or rotate the map.
Confirmed. Doesn't work for me.

that kind of defeats the purpose of the update I think
Was just trying to figure this out too. Hero definitely doesn't have it. Maybe it's lacking a necessary hardware sensor?

I just dont understand ,it has to support multitouch, and as far as I know Hero does have multitouch .
Probably has to do with our pathetic gpu. But the update is most definitely worth it, because we do get offline maps and vector based maps (loads much faster).

3D tilt is (slightly) different from the compass feature. If you're in one of the supported cities, zoom into the 3D layer and the "my position" button turns into the compass button.
Make sure you have the updated street view installed also

Again, compass is different from 3D tilt. The Hero doesn't support tilting or rotating

I think he knows that. He's using a similar product to bring up a point. We're allowed to reference other products on this forum, if they may have a bearing on our product.
Mine doesn't even have smooth zoom transition, nor a compass on top, nor the ability to pre-fetch maps in settings. Anyone else having these problems? I've uninstalled...cleared cache...tried everything. No go.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Prefetch maps is automatic when you start google nav. This is from http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/12/google-maps-5-for-android-3d-maps-and.html "The new 3D view makes maps more intuitive and easier to use, but that's not all. Since Google no longer has to download map images from its servers and vector-based maps require 100 times less data for all zoom levels, it's feasible to cache data. "Rather than having a static set of maps when installed, Maps will automatically start caching the areas you visit the most when your device is plugged in and connected to WiFi (e.g., the nightly charge)." You can't manually control caching, but it's an important first step toward an offline Google Maps."
