New official multitouch maps, gallery and browser running on Nexus One (CyanogenMod5 Beta4)

Just a quick run through of the multitouch apps Google officially started pushing out. If you have an unrooted, 'vanilla' device you should start seeing the over the air update coming your way soon. If you have a rooted phone then you can get cyanogenmod and install these multitouch versions of the apps by going to the thread at XDA-Developers

Quick question Tim, Where did you get your home screen time/weather widget from? is that part of the cyanogen ROM?

[TimLake]

It is called Weather Widget Donate and can be skinned (this is one of the available skins). It is a paid app in the market. There is a free version too.

got another question for you, i now actually HAVE my nexus one :) seems really nice although that matrix wallpaper takes up a large chunk of my battery life i noticed..

my question is this though.. i cannot seem to add phone numbers to the automatic facebook contacts it sync'd with.. do you know how i can do this or must i make new contacts just for their phone numbers? :\

[TimLake]

Yeah the matrix wallpaper does seem a big battery drain, now I've been running it a while I found that is the case.

You should just be able to go into contacts and edit the contact. I don't have any that are from facebook (I only sync friends I already have in phone contacts) so I can't really help

you have to be rooted to use metamorph right..i got my rooted g1 stolen and i can't remember.

thanks
