Pinch 2 zoom not working - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I just installed CyanoMod007 (until v18) in my HTC Desire and I'm really satisfied with it, since it is the most complete ROM and even OFFLINE non-english voice input of google search is working! (the offline data must be added to \usr\srec by hand, but this is the only ROM where this works)
However, the pinch-to-zoom functionality is not working properly: in image viewers for example, the pictures zoom in but the zoom doesn't follow the fingers and make strange effects... and zoom out is very tricky. Double tap must be used to save the day... and this is annoying
Any idea how to fix that? Thanks!

Hi again, I just want to reply to myself.
Pinch to zoom works if the older kernel is selected in aroma installer instead of the newer kernel.
This is bad since the newer kernel is more stable and doesn't have soft reboots. However, pinching is important :angel:
Regards!

Why don't I have browser text reflow with vanilla roms?

Hi there,
I've got a problem with non-Sense roms:
with none of them works the browser text reflow. I've tried open desire, setrom and defrost and in none of them does it work.
The funny thing is that I have no problems with Senseroms.
I wiped everything several times and tried it even with dolphin but always the same result: nothing.
What could i've done wrong?

ps sry for my bad english
Pretty sure it's a HTC Sense thing, not an Android thing.
you need to double tap on the text once zoomed for it to reflow. its a froyo feature.
Is there no way that it reflows when I do pinch to zoom?
Cyanogen has it in his tree. You have to enable it first though.
But this has always been the Android way: Double-tap to reflow, pinch to zoom without reflowing.
HTC modified their Sense browser to always reflow (which can be quite irritating sometimes).
This
is
development
Thanks for the answers. So cyanogen Is my only chance then? And how Do i enable the reflow there?
Ah thank you very much for the tip with the cyanogen mod. Finally everything's the way I like it

WebBrowser - Automatic Text Wrapping not working correctly

Good lately after installing a 2.2 ROM I have noticed that when browsing the web (browser default) to set again to zoom across the web not keeping the focus where it should. I leave you a video for you to understand better. The double tap zoom works correctly with your fingers not working properly.

The curious thing is that I had no problems with eclair, was to install Froy. Anyone can recommend me some rom in which this issue is resolved?
Thank you all!

[Q] No Text Rewrap on defualt browser?

This is my first non-HtC phone and am quite disappointed and frustrated at the lack of pinch to zoom as well as text rewrapping with the default browser on my GSM Galixy Nexus. I tried other browsers(Chrome, Dolphin HD and Opera)but all with mixed results. Dolphin didn't zoom at all, Crhome did but doesn't rewrap and Opera did both but only on certain sites. What's the deal here? Are HtC phones the only ones on the planet that are capable of performing this no-brainer feature on mobile web browsing, or is there a browser or custom rom that anybody can suggest to me, that will do this for me. Having to squint to read text is no fun and quite headache inducing, and text not fitting the screen properly, all but negates the point of having a large screen if I'm constantly having to zoom left and right to read it all. Thanks ahead of time for anyone willing and able to help remedy this maddening issue.
The text will reflow, you just have to double tap the text after you pinch. Its not like htc that doed it automatically.

I can confirm this and thankfully it isn't like the HTC way, it is optional and I love it

issue pretty much solved
Well thankfully after going through a stock 4.0.1 rom to a custom 4.0.2 to now a 4.0.3 rom I finally have the more consistent pinch to zoom capability with the browser. It doesn't rewrap quite as well but at least it does it. I'm curious as to why you and other prefer it not to work like HTC does it? What's the downside to having it rewrap automatically? I'm fine with double tapping to do it too just as long as it does it. But if you can skip that step altogether, why not?

I hate this automatic text wrapping feature. The only time I really use pinch to zoom is when I want to fokus on something "small" and hard to hit like a link (I use double tap to zoom in on a paragraph for reading. I find that much more convenient). When the text automatically rewraps after zooming I almost all the time lose my original zoom target. It's so annoying that I was glad to see that Google only rewrap text on demand.
But I think many like the automatic text rewrap. All I can say is that I'm not one of them.
Just fyi the galaxy nexus works the same as my nexus one. Stock android browser has always functioned like this, its not new. Htc always changed it on their devices.
Well, I've since found a rom where the browser does a little better with the zooming in and rewrapping, so I can finally put that behind me. I guess the tid bit that you mentioned about the stock browser acting that way shouldn't have been too big of a surprise to me. When I had the HD2 with Windows 6.5, I was so excited at the ability to port Android roms to it, so I put one on there based off of a Nexus One rom. The browser acted just as you said. Only roms meant for HTc phones and of course genuine HTC sense roms all acted the way I'm used to. I guess I was just so flabbergasted and frustrated that automatic text rewrapping was either not as in demand by other users I would have imagined, or that HTC had some how weren't allowing others to tweak the browser in that way. Double tapping is a fine and fair compromise though.

You might try giving Chrome Beta a try. In the default ICS browser, double tapping pretty much just zooms you in by a random/arbitrary amount. Chrome Beta acts a little more like the iPhone in that when you double tap on an element (like a paragraph or picture) it zooms to fit that element on screen. Works perfectly IMO.

[Q] Android Revolution HD 4G 7.0.4 Problem

First of all, I apologize if this was answered already, but the dev thread has nearly 7000 pages and i didnt find it in the last 50 I looked through so i thought ill ask directly.
I installed the Revolution HD 7.0.4 onto my HTC Desire HD, and well it works great, thank you developers for making it ^^. However I have two small issues.
1) Is the whenever I try to change sounds for notifications I get com.htc.sdm crashing, it works ok on ringtones, but with the notification ones it dies right away, im not really bothered about fixing this if someone could suggest an App that does the equivalent job. I did trying to do the reset sounds to default HTC i saw in some places, but the problem persists.
2) This one is a bit more irritating one and id like to fix it. The default gallery app seems to be missing entirely, i dont entirely mind using a custom gallery app, however i do use my phone for photos a lot, and the button in the corner of the camera app, the one that should open the gallery, does not respond to custom ones, not the ones i tried at least, so I would like to shove the default gallery app back in so it responds properly, so if anyone could point me to a link for that, i would be extremely grateful.
Sorry once more if these have been asked already, i tried my best to seek out the answer before asking.
Thank you.
Hello all and first of all Happy Birthday Mike.
I have a small problem with the camera crash.
the camera works fine but no video.
When I stop the video, I have a stop message com.android.camera (sudden closure of the camera application).
I'm reinstalled (with a super wipe) but nothing works.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
cordially

Hello to all.
First of all I want to say that the new version 6.4 is 7.1 is very good, but I noticed several things:
First, the radio version is more efficient than the version 6.X of the 7.X.
Then the camera is still not fixed on version 7.1 for video (I read the 6985 pages of the topic and try everything but nothing works).
I therefore expect the surprise Mike: "There are not much bigger fixed Because something might come in the near future." (Post No. 69783 of the topic).
For I have not yet reaches my 10 posts, I bore you a little here

[Q] Issues with/questions around Sabsa Prime

EDIT: This thread has gone dead, updated the title as it also applies to the most recent version of the ROM. Still looking for answers on the questions in bold format. Especially the last one - about the radio version, as the rest really is about features in the ROM. Thanks!
Hi,
This is my first post in these forums, so I hope you'll bare with me. I am trying to stick to the rules, and have searched a lot for answers, but still have some questions. I really appreciate this forum, and I can thank you for my phone not being totally outdated (Thanks HTC...)
First of all I want to say thank you for a great ROM! I can't post in the official thread just yet, but hopefully I will get there soon.
I have a few issues/questions/suggestions though:
- Both in v.6, 6.5 and 7 I get an error when enabling notifications in facebook. After a minute or so I get a notification that fb notifications have been disabled because my phone doesn't support push-messages. But I'm sure it does, cause I get push notifications from other apps. Without this function the fb app loses half of its value. Solved
- My phone automatically reboots when I try to access soundhound from within the fm-radio, is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
- I've seen this posted before,but have yet to find an answer. Although enabling arrow keys for the keyboard this will only enable them on the English keyboard. Could you please be so kind and add this option for the other languages as well? Would be great if you could just choose "enable arrow keys", and this would then be on all keyboards.
- It would be great being able to zoom in/out in the camera appwith the volume buttons. This used to be standard in the official ROMs.
- I saw someone in the official thread saying that you could pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked. I actually had it the same way, but just now found out that there wasn't actually a real screen lock enabled. Yes, I got the pattern screen every time I unlocked the phone, but then realized any pattern would be accepted. When I configured a new screen lock in the settings it was no longer possible to pull down the notification bar when locked =)
- Is it okay to batch restore all apps and system settings in Titanium backup when you upgrade to a new version of the same ROM, or do I have to do each one manually? I'm not sure exactly what all the 200+ items change, so it's kind of hard selecting them. Any tips&tricks on this would be much appreciated (Links etc. too).
FYI: I am using a Desire HD, full wiped and installed the ROM, but am using RADIO 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. The reason I never changed this is because I didn't experience most of the issues others were describing in the official thread. Could any of my problems be caused by this? And would there be any huge advantages to changing Radio? Also - and this might be a stupid question, but please forgive me as I am really new to this stuff - Is the BeastMode Kernel automatically flashed with the ROM?
Thanks in advance!
I have had some of the problems you have listed above and it's all down to restoring via Tibackup (I learnt the hard way!)
I just checked mine and I can pull down the notification bar when locked, so it does work (I have a lock screen pattern enabled). Unfortunately when doing a batch restore it messes up the phone's ID in some way, so fb thinks your phone isn't a DHD and hence cannot handle push notifications. You may even find if youlog into google play on a pc that it says 'device not found' or 'incompatible device' when looking to install apps.
Right, this is what you need to do.
1. Do a full backup via Tibackup
2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset
3, Install Sabsa Prime 7 (perform full wipe)
4. install TiBackup
5. Restore all app and data (NOT system data) - this can be a batch restore
6. Select backup/restore (middle tab) and from the list, restore contacts, messages, people, dialer storage (most of the ones highlighted in green).Remember data only.
Now you will have all your apps restored and your latest contacts and messages. You can also restore bluetooth pairings, wifi and even settings.
You will need to set your homescreens again but everything should now work.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated
I really don't care much about whether I can pull down the notification bar when locked, or not. I just noticed I could do it until I changed the lock screen pattern.
Thanks a lot for your detailed advice on the other stuff! I'll definitely try it when I have a little more time to spare.
I still wonder about the arrow keys though, because they are only on the English keyboard (I'm pretty sure it was that way even before I restored apps and settings). And of course being able to zoom with the volume keys would be great.
This might be a noobie question, but is "2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset" really necessary? What's the difference between this and a full wipe?
2. Probably isn't necessary, but it's a habit of mine before installing a rom as early versions of Sabsa Prime didn't have the option in installer, infact there was no installer!
As for the arrows, download SwiftKey keyboard, best keyboard I've seen, has many languages and arrow option.

bluetooth issue
hi i install the sabsa prime rom v7 but i have a issue whit the bluetooth, my bletooth device is a sonyericsson mw 600, i can connect and the music sound for the bluetooth but the audio of the calls don't sound for that , but the call controls in the bluetooth work's fine, if could tell me how i can fix that i wil be so grateful.
sorry my bad english
thank's to all
Ok, cool. Thanks bob!
Tried Swiftkey (and Go and some other wellknown keyboard) a while back. Like the keyboard, but the auto-correct for Norwegian was really poor. The standard keyboard has by far the best recognition of words that I have experienced.
EDIT:
Followed your instructions when flashing the new v8.5, and it has fixed the issues I experienced with fb =)
But the phone still reboots when I try to use soundhound from within the fm radio-app (but not with another radio, like the TuneIn Radio)...
Would love an answer regarding the Radio-version too (Never mind the question about the Kernel, figured that one out).
Shouldn't it be pretty easy to include the arrows for all languages, not only for the English keyboard? This is a function I really miss badly, makes things so much easier..
@Jaune: Sorry, I have no idea..
Still in v.9 the arrow keys only work for the English keyboard. Is there any way to implement this also for other languages?
And I see everyone is talking about a camera 4.2 - search xda. Well, I have searched and searched and can't seem to find it..
Found this though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867966.
Any thoughts on using this with Sabsa Prime v.9?
