Google Maps 3D - Xoom Themes and Apps

Is google maps 3d available yet? I have played with google maps on my xoom but don't seem to have the 3d version ... unless I am missing something.

Its there, you just have to zoom in far enough then use the two finger gesture to bring it into 3d mode
Cheers!

[Q] Full Screen, just cant get it.....

I saw the video, did the array of reboots. Only game so far I cant get fullscreen is Asphalt 5. I dont really care about it that much but I need some other stuff to test and see if compatibility mode is good or not. I just want to make sure before I buy some other stuff. Anyone else good with fullscreen except for Asphalt 5?
Dungeon defender works fantastically well. it is absolutely beautiful.

is that a game that would not usually be fullscreen unless you did the compatibility trick a few times?
U can test out Raging Thunder 2.
Get "spare parts" from Market. Uncheck "compatibility mode" and reboot. Then try the apps again.

Fullscreen. I guess its really just some apps that dont play well. Thanks for the suggestion. I assume this is not fullscreen before you do the compatibility mode trick?

It wasn't fullscreen for me until I did the spare parts trick. I never got Asphalt to run properly either.

Asphalt 5 works for me. Are you using an hd apk?
The official Tetris did not work before the "Spare Parts" trick. Works fine after.

Bing Maps?

Any way to get Bing Maps to work on the Xoom? Even in the browser? A lot of the areas I viewed on the PC were much better looking and detailed than google maps when in the satellite view and I'd love to have it on the Xoom. I found an old verizon bing app apk, but it doesn't look like it does when viewing maps on a PC.
Have you tried alternate browsers? Opera or Dolphin maybe.

You should give a try to orux maps from market. It's free and the developer has done some excellent work. If you choose online maps and select some Microsoft's map it's actually bing's map.

I just tried it and it seems to work now. First time it didn't load the maps in the right frame. Still not ideal, but it works.

I like this app, but it doesn't do the high quality birds eye view that Bing maps has.

Dead Space on Xoom

Hi!
I just tried to install EA's Dead Space on my Xoom, using chainfire 3D to load quancom plugin, and game run smooth, amazing graphic (~100 times better than gameloft's games ^_^). But the game can only display in potrait mode, quite difficult to fight monsters.
yeah! today i install the chainfire and finally i can play this amazing game
if any wanna this game pm

How about landscape/potrait issue?
the game is too fluid and excellent ambience, only in some parts obviously not optimized for a resolution of our screen, since the text is not visible on certain occasions.
but does not prevent you play pretty well, except that the controls are awkward at first getting used to ...
It is a prequel to the Xbox version?
EDIT: NM I figured it out
How?

with chainfire (just root) and qualcomm drivers
Install chainfire 3d free on market, search chainfire plugin (using google), copy plugin to anywhere on your sdcard, install chainfire, open it, install driver, reboot then load quancom plugin.

You need install plugin then load quancom plugin. But there is no solution for landscape mode.

Multimedia? I use moboplayer + v7 codecs ; rockplayer 1.7.2 swf player ; Chainfire3D ; Pro HDR
Productivity? LG Getril ; Neo reader ; hex editor ; quick office pro
Games? None atm.
I have found Mysettings really useful - this was posted by someone else on here (sorry cant remember who). It provides quick access to everything that i need quickly... such as airplane mode, instead of holding the power button, quick access to mobile network settings, brightness, screen timeout as well as the options in the notification bar.
What is quick office pro?

Hi, just a question, it is said on the Pro HDR Camera (from EyeAppsLLC ?) that it couldn'/wouldn't work on our LG phones ? Did you need a certain rom to make it work or did it just work flawlessly upon install ?

Yes, it works on all android devices with firmware 1.6+. I couldn't find the original link to the app, but I have attached the apk file with this post.

Vignette - great photo quality there and better UI than Camera360 i think. At least you can use filters on pictures already taken, not like in Camera360.

No, but why would you need that? Front camera makes only sense for video chats, vignette only can take photos.
Actually you can add filters with camera 360 pro too

Yes, but, correct me if im wrong there, only onthefly after you've taken the picture. Not if you try to add a filter to an existing photo in the gallery.

Cast button for Google Music from web browser

Anyway to cast directly to chromecast through a cast button simliar to youtube.com and google music on your phone/tablet? I can cast the entire screen,but was hoping for a native cast button..

I really hope Google adds this functionality to the Google Music web app at some point.
I'm confused, you're talking about the Google Play Music app with subscription service right? Because it has cast ability built-in if you have the latest version on mobile devices.

He's referring to being on a personal computer on a web browser. Far as I know there isn't a native cast button

Ahh thanks for the clarification, now that I read it slowly I see and agree. Wish there was a way to cast from a desktop like how the mobile app does, having a white control bar is not very good for tv's without a screensaver option.

I did have this issue. I needed to unplug my chromecast to get it to work, then it went fine.
I do hope Google adds that capability. I use Google music through the web quite a bit at home.
Soon?
When this loading the google music website icon appears but when finishes loading disappears ... it will be implemented soon?
This would be a good addition but just using the Chromecast Extension works perfectly fine. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd
That's now possible !
