Please dont flame me for this. I know that it's technically in the wrong section but the people who read the Development section are likely to know a bit more about this topic.
Anyway, Google Buzz. It's new, and it's pretty cool. It's built-in to the new version of Maps, but the Web App (buzz.google.com) will only work in Android 2.0 and up. I remember that before Google changed the Maps Navigation back-end, making an edit to the build.prop would make Navigation work on 1.6. So, would something similar work for Buzz?
I'm at school and I have no access to a computer with the SDK on it so I can't get at my build.prop at the moment via ADB. Could somebody test this if they get a chance?
Again...I know that this is technically the wrong section, but please be gentle with me
I think If you modify browser's user agent you could use buzz. I do it with firefox.
BR.
Why would you need to modify your browser to use Buzz...
Just open up Google Maps and it is already built into Maps 4.0, like you said in your msg...
Or do you not want to have to go that extra step?...
I mean yes it would be nice for it to work without having to use Maps, but why make extra work?
It's just a thought....
They are working on it for G1 device. Here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3dcfc0961244b5ac&hl=en
Here's the build.prop's if you want to try (warning, you'll also see lwp's in marketplace THESE WILL NOT WORK).

Try the build.prop's I put up earlier. It DOEN'T work in the browser on 1.6 (which is what you want).
Like a few other people have stated. Why aren't you using the new Google Maps? It has Buzz. I've been using it all day. Commenting and posting.

And as he has stated, he wants it in the browser.
Oh ok yeah my bad I corrected myself.
but yeah I dont think its gunna be available for 1.6ers anytime soon. maybe in the future?
The Maps integration does NOT allow you access to all of the Buzz features. It only allows you to post, and comment on other Buzz posts.
AND the Buzz in maps only allows public posts. I don't really care to share location-based status updates to everyone in the world.
It's pretty goofy that the web app doesn't work in the 1.6 browser...REALLY goofy that it doesn't work in CyanogenMod with the backported Eclair browser.
The ROM cookers are doing a great job but it's really annoying that Goog seems to have basically EOL'ed Android 1.x after barely a year of service.
Google Buzz works with Maps 4.0 on cyan 2.x rom but it breaks multi-touch for some reason.
Oh wow...IT WORKS!
Will create a new thread on how to make it work.

Maybe.
Strike the part about it working, though. There appears to be a catch. Just pushing the build.prop enables the web app but causes a Force Close of Maps whenever you try and run Maps.
Testing what happens if you push the build.trout.prop as well right now.
I cant get it to post anything in maps, but then I am running OE1.1.5Beta. got it in the browser though.
I am running 1.6 and all I did was install maps 4.0 from this forum through terminal and then went to market and it prompted me for update with google maps buzz and i did. Now I am running official google 4.0 from market on my 1.6 FastTest rom.
Okay, it turns out that there is currently no way to get both a working Maps application (at all) and the Buzz web app on Android 1.6. Looks like we'll just have to wait for Google.

As a clarification, do they work in donut as well? And with navigator intact? Also, any chance someone can host some of the more important .apk's? Facebook and maps/navigator come to mind.
Really wanted turn-by-turn working. Tried pushing Maps, Dock, CarDock and MotoNav.
Maps works fine
Dock and CarDock are not found in the launcher.
MotoNav starts and asks me to 'Insert your MotoNav SD card.'
Starting to think its more difficult than just pushing some apks
Confirmed: FB & Maps work.
@Marcus: I switched to Cyan's 4.2.x.x Donut & pushed them. They work fine. I haven't tested the nav, but they work atm.
The only one Ive tried is facebook(ran out of time)...maybe we can get a list going of what works?

Maps works in donut (latest CM), but does NOT have navigator. About screen shows version 3.2.0 (#3232). Facebook works fine.
I got the moto personal phone portal to install. Im guessing one has to download the pc software too?!

Just pull the apps out of the DUMP. I am trying it on 2.0 so far they do indeed work.
I was wondering if anyone knows why these programs are auto starting. I closed them via advanced task killer and they keep coming back.
They are:
- messages: I use handcent. I don't use the stock one, and I turned off notifications and defaulted handcent as my text program.
- com.coremobility.app.vnotes: not sure what this is.
- Sprint navigation: I have gps turned off.
I get the same thing plus Google Voice, Voice Dialer, Voicemail I have Google Voice set to never be used I never use Voice Dialer, and Voicemail just pops up occasionally

Uh, if you will never use Google Voice, then why in the world is it installed?
hanscent works off of the stock apps cache, it cant keep threaded convos without the stock (crap) app.
core.mobility.app.vnotes is visual voicemail
sprint nav is a pain and could be trashed at any time for better efficiency. Unneeded for those with google maps installed, imo
I have google voice set to never be used but that doesn't mean I never use it
google maps has navigation?
Is there anyway I can keep them from opening until needed?

google maps has text, not voice navi...thats enough for me. Google Navigation will have full navigation with voice.
as far as an autokill, I'm not sure what can be done to stop them. In autostarts, it shows you what environments some processes start in, and some seem quite unrelated (Sprint Navi starts with sms received). I'd say get taskiller free and pluck them off whenever you notice the phone getting laggy
Alright. Thanks.
is there a better navi we can download ( besides google maps )
What about a better keyboard?
So I was determined to figure out how to disable these apps from autostarting and I just figured it out. Ha. Now I just need to see if I can make it run with the install of fresh rom or if it will be a separate thing. I'll let you all know when I get it figured out.

I'm not sure on the navi, all of them are pretty heavy on the memory. Sprint Navi is quality, it's just bloated, IMO. I don't travel alot so it's not a necessity to me.
keyboard- the best is better keyboard, it's a paid app but it's an upgrade from stock. I'm still on stock and with the added speed boost from .7, it seems alot more precise

I was wondering if any one has found a way to push or import the market from 1.6 or maybe even from the 2.x builds. I tried pulling the Vending.apk from 2.1 and pushing it to my phone but it just crashed when i tried opening it, so I'm guessing there is more to it then that.
Sorry that I didn't get a chance to respond to your PM. The market ties in to a whole lot of aspects of the phone, so yea I highly doubt it would be that easy. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not sure what makes their market better that it's worth it? Care to inform me?
Doesn't the market detect your phone and only load applicabale stuff for you? I would think issues would occur pulling one from a phone that isn't our model.

That info is pulled from /system/build.prop, so it could be modified.
no worries I wasn't sure if the pm had gone through or not but I just wanted the updated ui mainly for aesthetic reasons. I liked the way it looked and it was set up when i had it on my g1. I just wasn't sure if it was possible cause I thought in the Cyanogen mods when he was trying to get donut up in running i thought he had started by importing some stuff into 1.5

i was playing around trying to pull apks from the 2.1 build like the maps app which wouldnt even install and the wiredteether app and to no avail it installed but i kept hetting android.settings force close kept the app running and tethered but im on a mac now so i dunno if the proggy werks on a win machine. i am really interested in getting the maps app i want the navi or to play with it, ocnsidering i have the sprint navi and co-pilot its more of just to play with but im all about testing if anyone wants to put any time and effort into ports pm me or email or gtalk or google wave or if u want a google wave invite i have a few left also when u get a invite u have 8 of your own to send out, also have a extra google voice invite if anyone is in need.

I don't want to burst your bubble but the api flat out will not handle using the new google maps/navigation on 1.5. As for the wired tether that's in the 2.1 rom, it's not a stock app. http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing. With all of the issues with protected apps not showing in the market with some roms, it would be neat if there was an app like the Music downloaders, that let you search and download apks.
Some apps poof from market and it would be nice to have a quick way to find them.
Does SlideME work? I used that back in the vogue android days, but I haven't used it since.. That was just a different market app basically
See if any of these work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536317
I honestly don't know. My protected apps all work. And honestly the only times they haven't is because we were using developers roms. It's all fixed now though, and our official obviously won't have that problem.
Search the market for "APKtor." It's an app that'll let you add repositories filled with android apps. It's essentially Cydia for Android. As far as where to get your repositores, you'll need to figure that much out.
there a few others that i will not post here lol
Appbrain ...
Search google for an app called "black market"..
Then you will have to search for the right repositories.. If you download GMOB chat and go to the rooted users chat someone there will help you out..
*also in GMOB chat there is a room where there is nothing but posted apps, and a request room..

Don't want to steer the thread too far off topic, but is this true for all roms, or just certain ones. I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum the past few days, but if there's a complete fix for protected apps, I'll definitely set aside some time to seek it out...
i honestly havent dl'd anything from the market since my g1, cept to go grab linda and get acess to my sd right away...
anything the market can do, google can do better *singalong voice*
i understand the market is google, but i mean the search engine

fresh rom 2.0d.
Can anyone find Digital Clock Widget v1.8 in the marketplace? Says it's copy protected, but it's a free app. I have v1.7.6 and can't find it to update. Found a website with a zip of v1.8, but it's not signed. I signed it, but it won't install because it says it's missing classes.dex.
Also, flipz, is the market fix available as a standalone update? Currently running DCv2.05
Oh ****! APKtor is god!
dont know if anyone has found this in another thread or on the web, but heres a link to a version of google chrome you can download without running ics 4.0 on our atrix 2 phone. i downloaded it and been messing around with it. it looks nice but doesnt have extension as you would finfld in a full version. check it out.

Nice find! I have a tablet on ICS and i was able to play with it already. It had some bugs but i am sure when it is out of beta it will be amazing. I already love the chrome desktop browser and having them both integrated with bookmarks and etc will be awesome.

yeah, i also use it on my laptop wish i could set up the synce and such on here but its not there yet. but im a chrome user and being able to run it on something thats not on 4.0 yet is pretty nice even if its not fully built at this point. ive yet to run into any bugs as of yet, gonna keep ky eye out for a more fully functional build that can be ran on 2.3 phone and post it here if i do. i appreciate your thanks for posting this as well. (and anyone else thats may like this as well, sorry i cant thank every post)
This was a great find, I think I'm going to try this out. Chrome is a great web browser. Even better to have the Android version before ICE comes to the ATRIX 2.
This is not Chrome - this is Miren browser, just patched up to look like Chrome... Even when you first load it up, it says "Welcome to Miren browser" in a foreign language!

It's our stock browser except of the icon - the one is old Chromium (hate new 2d versions).
