Get Milestone Multitouch Browser For Your Motorola Droid!
Yes! I’m back from the wilderness with New Year wishes and a late Xmas present for anyone wishing their Motorola Droid could do multi-touch! Well, when surfing the web anyway…
AllDroid forums has posted a solution that enables Droid owners to enjoy the multitouch capabilities that are being enjoyed by the Motorola Milestone in Europe not because of a lack of hardware skills, but rather due to the iPhone’s iron-clad patents.
Rooting is required, (check out the associated post for how to do that) and enjoy jailbroken content as well as custom software.
Step 1: Do a backup of the files (Browser.apk and Browser.odex) you’ll be patching.
Step 2: Remount /system to RW (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system).
Step 3: Delete /system/app/Browser.odex
Step 4: Download MTBrowser.zip file from here and extract it to your desktop.
Step 5: Now, adb push libmtwebcore.so /system/lib, then adb push Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk.
There you have it! Pinch-to-zoom, multifinger action on your Droid, courtesy of some studious Android developers!
