JFv1.51 Quickfix for Multitouch Browser issue

Posted on May 25th, 2009 in Android Newsfeed by jf

The browser in the US and UK versions of JFv1.51 have an issue where multi-touch doesn’t work. This issue does not affect the ADP version. You can fix this issue yourself easily.

(In terminal emulator)

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/Browser.odex
reboot

Alternatively, I’ve also created a tiny update.zip file that you can apply in recovery mode to fix the problem. This is just a quickfix update that deletes the Browser.odex file.
JFV1.51 CRB43 US/UK MultiTouch quickfix (5)

Just to be clear: if multi-touch in your browser is working, you don’t need to do anything. If it is not working, you can follow the terminal emulator instructions above, or apply the update.zip quick fix.

Note: I’ve updated the US and UK downloads in the v1.51 release blog post to an updated version that has this fix. I didn’t update the version number since this is a small problem that is easily fixed. I believe jf updater has been updated with the fixed builds as well.
