Code:
rebootGetting force close prompts for Google Voice again? Close the sucker and wait until your phone is fully booted.
Ok the app is installed and you may be thinking you're good to go, but you aren't. It's still not working for you like it wouldn't work for me. Do you have Google Voice installed before you did all this stuff? Most likely!
Go into your phone's settings and Manage Applications
Uninstall Google Voice
Fire up the Market and search for Google Voice
Install Google Voice
Reboot your phone (You can do this by holding the power button and select "reboot phone" or the long way through Terminal Emulator)
Run the Map app (now you may have your old address in there that you tried earlier, never fear. Just clear the map from the map menu)
Put in some directions like you normally would
You should see the option for "Navigate" after it gets the directions. Click it.
Accept the installation of the voice guide thingy
You're done! Revel in the awesomeness!

I will be accepting donations if you like my work. After contacting HTC, they informed me that my device is not under warranty, as a technician determined it to be "user related" damage and that all repairs will be at owner expense.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8141983
If you follow my twitter, you know I bricked my G1. I am trying to get it repaired, but due to the long response time I had to buy a mytouch (no point having two G1s IF the other one gets repaired). Using this bad luck to my advantage, I scripted a way for hero to run on both with two simple commands.
How I rooted a brand new "perfected SPL" MT3G and installed Hero in 15 min:

Updated, but still feeling slow? Back up. Try rm system/sd/app_s then reboot to recovery and wipe data. then install fresh. Before restoring your data, open the backup folder on your sd card and remove the subfolders for programs you no longer have or need to have backed up.
I noticed a 10% increase in speed and my phone was far from lagging to begin with.
Losing messages? Make sure that system/sd/app/com.android.mms.apk does NOT exist, as this was an old release. Go into settings for messaging (from the conversation list panel) and set priority to "High"
Most Recent:
G1 / MT3G: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/ZeroXd-6.0.zip
Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will ONLY move user apps to the sd when using a myTouch.
This will allow the system apps and dalvik to remain on internal device.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
I am going to be rewriting things for users without a lot of user apps, like myself.
This will allow the entire build to be placed onto internal for mytouch users.
Once you have updated and are ready to use the phone, execute Terminal and enter the following commands:
su
magic
This configures the system to the specific device. This is until I finish automation.
LEDs have been restored to 93%
Bluetooth restored in MT3G

Here is the fix for auto-complete... Worked for me on 5.1r2
Everything in
open dos prompt.
adb remount
(***back up the original***)
adb pull /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk
(***install the new one***)
adb push c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk
start your Messaging it will crash the first time you want to use the keyboard... restart Messaging and it should work...
HTC_IME.apk here: http://www.mediafire.com/?te0symyx4yz
Mms auto-rotate works for me in 5.1r2 so I dont know. But possibly you still have the old Mms.apk. Try pushing the new one from 5.0 or later rom...

zeroxd 5.2r4 seems to be faster than jacs 2.0 but i cant get auto rotate to work or multitouch and when i try the commands in first post i get "/system/xbin/su: not found''
did you try running the commands via adb ?
im not familiar with doing it that way i dnt even know wat adb is
just connect your phone to the pc
install the drivers from android SDK
start > run > cmd
cd to the android tools directory
and adb shell
that's how i did with my phone and works perfectly
im not gona risk any damage ill deal without the rotate for a day till its fixed

RE: Google maps
Completely uninstalling and then reinstalling from the market seems to address the force close that occurs when a search query is submitted.
Alternatively, you can move the google maps apk from the ext2 partition to the /system/app folder on the phone. This is the same fix as for the google voice search...
RE: Google voice search
I went about the rather cumbersome process of moving the apk from the ext2 partition (as automatically happens in the Modaco ROM) back to the /system/app folder on the phone. This has resolved all the voice search crashes that I have come across.
NB: I do not know the results if you were to fix google maps by uninstalling and reinstalling and fix google voice search by moving the apk. I.e. if you were to do a google voice search within google maps under this fixing method, Im not sure if the voice search will crash....I'm guessing not though.
Please bear in mind im a COMPLETE linux/andoird/adb/whatever noob. I can outline my method for moving the apks, but Im certain there are better ways to do it.
Sweet, that fixed my google voice issue (and a quick mv and reboot didn't seem so bad to me, but perhaps I just have a high pain tolerance lol)
that or i didn't know there was an mv command...like i said...complete noob
dom2114 said:

No sweat, mv is a linux command that can be used to move (thus mv) or rename files.
Basic Syntax:
Code:
mv [source] [destination]
So what I did was
Code:
mv /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch.apk /system/app
and then rebooted the phone. Worked like a champ!
thanks, worked perfectly
NOTE: be sure to issue this command before the move to not get the 'read-only file system' error
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Thanks a ton for this! I don't have A2SD running and my Google Voice Search was also not working, I didn't even notice until someone had pointed it out. Lucky for me, there was a solution almost as fast as the problem was discovered! We should probably point it out to Paul @ MoDaCo now!

ok, so help me out if you can.
I want to copy the apk's on the ext2 partition i.e. in /system/sd/app to my computer in case I decide to wipe the sdcard for some reason.
In adb im typing:
cp /system/sd/app /desktop
Ive tried cp with the -r, -f, -rf options, and everytime i get a cannot create error message or sometimes a cannot create symlink message
Any tips??

Once you're inside the adb shell, you don't really have access back to your desktop. Your best bet would be to run (from the windows command prompt where you normally run adb):
Code:
adb pull /system/sd/app c:\mybackup
(Replace C:\mybackup with whatever the path is to your destination...if you're on *nix or Mac, it will probably be more like "./Desktop" or something)

just as quick update to all.
Ive got a feeling that google voice search was actually causing all the force close issues in google maps. I still have google maps on my sdcard and did not uninstall it (only updated it) - have google voice search on phone and all seems to be fine.
A quick question for codemonk (& anyone else out there). For apps in the /system/app folder, you've got the apk and corresponding odex file. Anyone have any idea where the corresponding odex files for apps installed on the sd are (if they exist at all)?

Not sure on the odex...I noticed some of the apps I removed didn't appear to have them (or are in a location I'm not aware of).
I ended up just moving the google voice app to fix it. (There's another thread on the google maps/google voice thing that contains the fix)

ok i dont even have voice search after installing modaco rom. all i have is the basic google search. how do i get the apk or download it. i tried the move, but it says it doesnt exist. i am complete noob so details are really needed thanks
if you decided to format your sdcard (using the recovery console) using the ext2/fat32/swap option, then the modaco ROM automatically moves google voice search and google maps (and a few other apps like quickoffice) to the ext2 partition on the sdcard.
this partition is accessible in various ways, but most people do it manually using ADB. if you don't know how to use adb, there are a bunch of threads here that talk about it. But in a nutshell, it involves downloading the android SDK, extracting it to somewhere on your computer (no need to install anything), open a command prompt in windows (start -> run -> cmd), navigate to the folder containing the sdk and go to the tools folder inside there (e.g. cd\androidsdk\tools), then type 'adb shell'. If all worked, you should have access to the phone.
then its just a matter of navigating to the ext2 partition on the sdcard (this is where all apps you install will be installed too - this is apps2sd automatically at work). You navigate there by typing:
cd /data/app
you should see the google voice search apk in there + others
then just use the command that codemonk helped me out with:
mv /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch.apk /system/app
this will move the apk from the data/app folder (this is your sdcard) to the phone.
Written this response very quickly. Ask any specific questions and Ill try to help more if needed.

Code:
cannot stat 'build.prop': No such file or directory
cannot stat 'build.trout.prop': No such file or directory

logout
In windows all that is required is to extract all files to the same directory (only tried it by having them all on the desktop. then doubleclicking the part1.bat from the desktop.
I'm not familiar enough with OSX but it seems like its not finding the build.prop to push it to your phone.
Google Nav only works in the US
NOTE: Currently Google Nav will only work in the US.
You can get it running (as in install the app) on phones elsewhere in the world, but to actual use the Navigate feature you have to have the GPS turned on (duh) so it knows where you are, and due to licensing issues (I think) the Navigate feature will not work if you are not in the US.
Running Cyanogen 4.2.3.1, I used the files Skreacher provided on my T-Mobile MT3G, running on Mac OS X Leopard...it works! I installed the Text to Speech thing needed as well...Facebook loads as always (some people were having problems) but the only thing is that exiting Navigation sometimes doesn't work (I have to exit twice). Thanks a lot Trying this out on the road tomorrow!
for the semi-noobs, like myself lol, can someone please re-explain which codes to run with Skreacher's added input changes?
sorry dskyers, i'm confused like hell per your intructions.

I followed the instructions at the top of this thread. It works perfectly. Google voice is working too! I was having some trouble with that on my earlier attempts (i think i was using the build.prop's for the G1).
Also, I updated to CY 4.2.4 and there is no breakage. Navigation still works like a charm.

Got this working on a recent nightly for cm6 (dont see why it wouldnt work on any others too) also, it will most likely work on any deodexed rom (odexed im not sure) -- Let me know what does/doesnt work and ill try and do something or point you in the right direction.
this should also work with other phones (so far just hdpi phones)
EDIT: punk.kaos got it working on all phones! good work! thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021

THIS HAS KNOWN ISSUES CAUSING THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD TO DO WEIRD STUFF ON THE DROID 1!!!!
something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it
Bugless Beast 4 (moto droid)
Ultimate Droid Extreme Froyo 6.00 (moto droid?)
CM6 (nexus 1)
modaco r21 (nexus 1)
DeFrost 2.6a (desire)
BUGS:
- & on one of the keys, more of an annoyance than anything, will fix eventually fixed!
- crap, another & error, when holding the . key...fix coming eventually... fixed!
- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?
Voice input works too!
Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway
thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the system dump!
if you like what i do and feel compelled to donate something to me, do so here
Great thanks

Works on BB v.4 for the Droid and this is sick!! Thanks so much.
Can you just install the app like you normally would?
And what's the second file for?
Thanks.

You were right, install the app but it kept force closing. Thanks. I'm using Skyraider 2.2
I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!
BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

thanks for the feedback
i'm running sapphire 1.0 and i was able to install with Root explorer.
Works on skyraider 2.2 - no pc required. I did have to copy over the lib file with root explorer. Btw I am typing on this keyboard now and it is amazing at correcting mistakes!

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory
It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you

Oh i thought it was supposed to be in the root of my sd card just like the apk.
in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix
Didn't s work for me...

Wouldn't you like to be more specific? Your current instructions technically mean to replace the entire file with just those three lines...

Please note that users of Quantum Rom already have this fix applied, since 1.3
(Used the epic 2.1 key in 1.3, 1.4+ use the nexus one key)
Thanks shabby xD

Here's what I did from my PC with adb. (I have adb in my PATH so adjust the commands for wherever you might have adb.exe)
adb pull /system/build.prop
Then I edited the 2 lines on my PC with notepad++ and saved. Then I put it on my sdcard, remounted /system readwrite and copied it over to /system/build.prop and then rebooted.
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su (if your ROM didn't already drop you in to root, and check your phone for the superuser popup)
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot

didnt work for me. I been trying to get the PayPal 2.2 to show up on the market but its a no go.
Im using Froyo also.
anyway we could just get the paypal.apk??
This didn't work for me either. Trying to get Pocket Blu installed, but it isn't working. TV.com isn't showing either. FWIW I have the new Market app if that means anything.
Any ideas?

Did you reboot your phone?
yes, and after rebooting a rechecked my build.prop file to make sure it took, and it was correct
Nevermind, I got it to work...
The end of the second line was missing the s. Put the s in, and it works perfect.
Can I get some clarification on this? I am using Mammon 1.0.3.1 and cannot get my sprint football ap to work.
Would this be an example of what this would fix?
Could the MSID number in my phone being different from my phone number be the reason it doesn't think this is a SPrint phone?
Thanks for posting a fix but it also didn't seem to work for me. I have been trying to load a program called Laser Appraiser from maket with no avail. Can anyone find it in their market?

Thanks, Hmm I think I'll just wait for the latest froyo release and see if that helps
I tried downloading it and saving it to my SD card, but it's a protected app. I use AppMonster, which backs up all the apps for when I do flashing, but it doesn't do protected ones. Sorry man, I tried.
sorry i havent replied, most of the roms out there SHOULD have this baked in... i know acs and quantum do and the cm rom should but ill ask noob just to be sure.
