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.
Just wanted to run a few things by you guys to see if anyone has had the same problems or work around s:
anybody having trouble following youtube links? got a link to a users page and a channel page but youtube opens up with the grey loading box in the middle of the screen and the circle progress bar gone. doesn't do anything. I can go search for the exact same item and browse to it though.
tested the links on my pc and they work fine... so its not that.
going to the www url straight in the browser redirects to m.youtube.com and produces the same effect (ie: http://www.youtube.com/user/allaboutbikes )
I also downloaded camera magic; works as a substitute to the camera app.
However, two camcorder apps I tried (qik and anCorder) didn't work. Anybody else get a camcorder to work?
Have you flashed the youtube fix? I haven't noticed a problem with links.
The video camera is a known issue being worked on, but no fix yet.
youtube fix? where did you see that?
also, this might be a stupid one but I thought froyo was going to come with wireless tethering? Where can I find the apk?

YouTube fix should be in an-update-for-the-noobz.zip. If not I think its on PrimoWeb.
FroYo's wireless wireless tethering won't work on our devices.
Wired tether however does work great for us for the first time EVAR.
Is that the one with over clock fix? That bogged my phone down.
Will we ever get wireless tethering on our hero? The one from 2.1 won't work? My alosius came with it

hmm.. update for noobz is gone..
Try the Test 2 build on the IRC . No problems with YouTube.

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.

I'm combing the smali folder as we speak, but nothing stands out as a definitive match
The one problem about ics, you're working to fix. Thanks man! I hope you find your answer!
Haven't found it yet, though. I've been trying to get into contact with koush, see if he's had any insight.
MoDaCo got it working on the Galaxy Nexus. If anyone has the galaxy yet, you could upload his rom and them comb through the /system and see what has been changed. we could then possibly implement it for the Galaxy S as well.

when you go through the Rom kitchen on their site it says the option is installed to system partition
Awesome, good looking out. Downloading it now, i'll be combing the files right away. You don't need to have the actual phone to peek at the system files
But unfortunately, it seems that it is a premium feature.

You can download it. I did earlier. Look at the first post of the thread its there.
The premium stuff is like to cook your own. I'm sure the standard one available in the first post has it implemented.

Oh, sweet. I'm not familiar with that developer, so i didn't know how he does his stuff. I'll push and pull some files to and from my phone, see if i can't get it working.
hey guys i don't know if i am the only one having this issue but i can't seem to get google chrome working on gummy 1.0.2 haven't tried other ics roms however i really like or would at least like to try google chrome... it installs fine and i load google.com and it acts like it is loaded and just displays a white page blank i have tried the hacked version market version nothing works.. anyone with a bit of experinece in apk's could tell what the issue is or if it could be the updater-script causeing issues for the google chrome apk.
No HW acceleration = no Google Chrome.
really then tell me this why is it reported to work on aokp then?
It shouldn't, unless they have hardware acceleration, or are using that hacked version or something.

It works fine on AOKP. It just doesn't work on the BIONIC.
One of the recent updates for Chrome (I think it was the most recent one) changed the tabs screen to look like this:
.
I prefer the old "cards" view, and I don't know why it's gone. The same thing happened in Chrome Beta.
Are there any other Chrome users here that are experiencing this? The reason I'm asking here is because it doesn't seem like anyone else is experiencing this, so now I'm wondering if it's a Optimus2X/Tegra2 specific issue.
wow, you're using chrome? :\ you're awesome man..
i can't handle it on our 512MB device. could you share how you usually use it? is it laggy?
