Enable Multi-touch on Nexus One

The US version of Nexus One was launched without any support  for multitouch. We had already discussed that it supported it and was just disabled in the software. A modder has made it possible to get multitouch in the web browser just like it happened for Motorola droid.

Here’s how you can do it.

Step 1: Root your Nexus One (if not already).

Step 2: Download all the mentioned files for:

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/Browser.apk
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexu…od.android.xml
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexu…od.android.jar

Step 3: To add these files, run the following commands:

adb shell stop
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Browser.odex
adb push Browser.apk /system/app
adb push com.cyanogenmod.android.jar /system/framework
adb push com.cyanogenmod.android.xml /system/etc/permissions
adb shell reboot

Step 4: You’re done! Reboot your nexus one, and launch the all new Multitotuch browser.
