Anyone tried this method to get google navigation on the hero?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582656&page=8
I just ran across this and might have to try after work.
I read through some of the pages earlier today. It seems like the .apk requires Android 1.6 or higher and us CDMA Hero owners are stuck at 1.5 right now. It may be worth a shot though. Let us know if it works for you!
So its a no go on this. Oh well back to Modern Warfare 2.

I wonder how many impatient yet curious people out there, who is going to go back to RC33, just to try out the cupcake and go back to having root again. I don't see myself missing any features from the update. perhaps more lacking than anything else if I choose the by the book upgrade method. I have never used the myfav app. Maybe I would welcome the IM app more so than anything. I would love to see the H build camera appear on the next root cupcake build.
I'm just sad that it won't have Flash. After the video demoing a full version of Flash on a G1 a while back, and the rumors that it'd be ready w/ Cupcake, I'm disappointed that we still have to wait. OTOH, it means we still won't be subjected to annoying Flash ads. *shrug*
And if you look close at that video, the parts that actually had motion to it were incredibly laggy.
Adobe can't even get flash on Linux to work smoothly, I don't think they are interested in making it smooth for the G1.
Heck, they are so inept they are outsourcing the development of their own product to a third party.
Flash could have been a great product, but Adobe has ran it into the ground since the '05 acquisition of Macromedia.
I was running JF's ADP1.5 and I got a system update message from Google... I thought it was kind of weird. Has anyone had that happen?

why go back to rc33 when we can go to JF1.5,Dude1.1a or Haykuro?
Well i personally went back to rc33 because it seems to run better to me, also to get protected apps back. They would install on JF 1.50 but not work it would just force close on me. They worked fine on dude's build but its too unstable for my taste. I also use open home and its not ready for cupcake yet so back I go. Im gonna use rc version of cupcake anyways so might as well go back now. Cupcake doesn't really offer me anything i need.

aHome has a cupcake version (search for it) and it's free. I'm running a bunch of signed/protected apps without any issues.

From what I can remember now, two of them are nba gametime and RepliGo Reader.
i'm on dude 1.1a and have no problems. i have ahome and open home running with no problems. protected apps have no problems (call faker, spades, decibel, etc.) nothing has forced closed on me. and have everything running off sd card
Advanced Task Manager works with JF1.5 ADP, and Bratag has a Cupcake version of SnapPhoto Pro available to customers who paid for the RC33 version.
I've been running the Dude's build and I have no problems with protected apps.
One or two had to be uninstalled and re-installed... But, they worked just fine.
Stability? I haven't had any problems!!! with the ROM.
There were one or two apps that had compatibility problems... But, I contacted the devs and they fixed them.
I can't figure out why so many people have so many problems!! I'm just guessing they aren't following all of the instructions at the beginning.
I will say that when going to the versions with the new unionfs system for apps2sd I would recommend copying the app and app-private files, wiping everything else from the ext2 partition and replacing them prior to moving to the newest versions... But, that was the only "difficult" thing about it. Then everything works great!
ok so i have read some threads, and i truly dont see one just for Mytouch, but when i saw Saphire it does look exactly like it. As we all know Eclair 2.0 is out but yet to be for any other phone but the Droid. I do enjoy Mytouch and i kinda am lookin forward to 2.0 but i dont see it coming anytime soo. And to be honest the only thing i truly want is Google navigation (voice). I did read that if rooted it can be done but is there away i can still have Google nav on my 1.6 donut without having to root it. As we all know rooting the phone can brick it and im not looking forward to do, even though if i root the phone i will also have access to multitouch which i will like.
Any suggestion?
There is more than one thread explaing how to get the nav on all versions of any ROM
Also, the 2.0 is currently only aviable for the 32b (which is what you have).
You need to do alot more reading.
ok will keep readin hope i can find something, again im not looking to root my phone yet but be capable of installing such software, this thread can be closed if thats the case. I will search
There are multiple ways to root your phone, its something you may want to do.
2.0 is currently being built by more than a few chefs. Once they really get into it you will start seeing some 2.0 ROMs showing up. The thread on the first page already has a working 2.0 ROM minus the camera, accerlometer, and something else minor. Give it a week or so.
maps with nav is in the market, just update map, access directions in map, pick where you wanna go, and when it list the directions, touch navigate
check theunlockr.com, it's kinda hard to brick your phone with those instructions
yea u right i download it and installed it and its running just like droid so im extremely happy, free awesome fast voice just great, the only thing left is multi touch lol but i still got plenty of threads to read so i wont make anyone mad
EDIT: no need to unlock or root your phone to use Google NAV just install and use
Hey everyone,
Upgraded Core Droid 1.2 to 1.4 Sunday.
The battery life is better this time round, which is excellent.
However, the android market is missing from the listing, everything else is there, even apps previously installed when I was running 1.2
Is there anyway to recover the android market.
NB: HTC HD2 From T-Mobile USA, 1024
ROM: Core Droid 1.4 (Presently)
SD: 8GB
Thanks.
You might be able to install it from an .apk or you could try this alternative..
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps&feature=search_result
Using the *.apk method did cross my mind a little later after writing the initial message, and don't get me wrong, I don't mind giving it a shot, but I would rather get some more feedback from those who have tested the ROM as well, if they did so comes to this problem and how did they work around it.
Even if it means that they used the *.apk method that you yourself have stated as an option that has worked with said problem.
Nevertheless, thanks for your input, it is really appreciated.
I ended up finding a solution after looking thru a post made yesterday by someone on the HD2 section.
It was to install the Market 2.12.apk
You were right DirkGently1, thanks for your solid piece of advice.
I got a gift from a bud and it's a Android Tablet. It's the enTourage eDGe.
I KNOW the company went under and that it's a dumb device. But before the company went under they released a BETA Android 2.2. Now I'm thankful for that because it used to have 1.6 on it. The OS is a lot nicer then 1.6 but not a lot of apps run on it and it seems to be more unstable then 1.6.
I know XDA forums doesn't have an eDGe section but I figured I'd post it here. What will it take for somebody from XDA to make a more stable 2.2 release? I'll pitch in 50 bucks if that's not enough then maybe I can get some other users in on it.
I want the device for modifying PDF's and the e-reader mostly but the concept is good enough to web browse/search the terms and things. I don't except to play any epic games on it, but would like it to run smoother. I have the "big one" Not the Pocket version, so it's the 10 inch screens.
I'd like the ability to install/use the Android Market on it. (not a deal breaker)
Some way to modify the CPU. It has a 1.2GHz CPU but for some reason the software limits it to 800MHz. I have the device rooted but setcpu doesn't seem to work on it as it always does a force close.
I just want it running faster/smoother and maybe a bit more battery life?
I'm not picky.
Thanks for listening and hopefully something will come out of this!

I Followed this thread on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1099282.html
And I was able to get the gapps installed, however the market never worked for me. I went through many google searchs and tried everything I could fine but it never seemed to work.
On top of it though I'd rather have a more stable OS like I said the release is a BETA 2.2. It works fine for the most part but does have it's issues.
If somebody has a different way to install the market, that'll help just the above didn't seem to work for me.
Thanks for the reply!

I had seen a few threads saying it does not work, but then i saw a few others saying it works flawlessly. I just want to know if this will work or not?
Well either way i will find out tomorrow then when i get my TF in the mail.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Does it work now on your transformer? I've been trying to get it running for several hours now, still without success.
There is one version floating around the web that does indeed work.
Its very hard to find though, and No I wont tell you where, except 'google'
Mind you, it took me 2 weeks to find it. And it doesnt run perfect. The graphic glitches sometimes, and the overall framerate isnt quite as good as it could be.
I also had to apply several tweaks in Chainfire3D to get it running somewhat stable.
works on prime 1.4
I have reverted to prime rom vs 1.4 and order and chaos, monopoly, lets golf 3, sim city, fifa 12 and many others that were previously unavailable all appear on market and install fine. I am currently playing Order & Chaos from market without flaw.
edit: Have been trying various roms such as Prime 1.4r2, 1.6r2, 2.1. It seems android 3.1 and 3.01 all show these games and 3.2 / 4.0 does not. Prime 1.4 uk install has Gameloft netherland as market source all others are just Gameloft
Gameloft doesn't like ASUS, so they all appear incompatible in market. You'd have to edit your build.prop to make market think you have say... a motorola xoom and buy from there. Or get the apk from another android device you have and edit the apk to not check for device compatibility.
I understand the changing of build.prop and have tried many methods to get gameloft games working in the past. I am now using a stock 3.1 nvflash and Order & chaos does indeed show up on the play store as purchased and I can install it without problem. This is without any modifications or hacked apk. Perhaps someone else on 3.1 can confirm this is not just my good luck.
Check your build.prop with prime, something may be different. I'm really reluctant to even look at honeycomb again though xD with ICS so great for me.
