How to Enable Multitouch Gestures on Huawei X5

The Huawei Ideos X5 is one of the Android smartphones that currently offer the most "bang" for your bucks. With a speedy 800Mhz CPU, 800x480 screen, and 512MB Ram, it has everything you could wish for... and it costs under 150€.

However, some might be surprised such a device to lack some simple features such as the rotation multitouch gesture on Google Maps.

Well... that's something you can fix in less than a minute.

To enable the advanced multitouch gestures such as rotation on the Huawei Ideos X5 you need to:

1. edit the file:
   /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml
   
   
2. look for the line:
   "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch"
   
   
3. add the following line just after it:
   "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct"

And after rebooting your X5, you'll be able to enjoy advanced multitouch gestures on Google Maps and all other Apps that support it.
