It was removed because Google Maps was updated with Google Navigation and it's ONLY for Android 1.6 and 2.0.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to download it anymore from the market at least until we get Android 2.0 on our phones.
Here is version 3.1.2 from my phone. Please UNZIP it before you try installing it. I suggest using ASTRO File Manager to install the .apk file.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a million, ironically this was probably the most difficult file to Google for.
Happy Thanksgiving for giving.

[APPMOD][UPDATED] Google Maps [brut] 4.4.0 stockified PROPER

If your country has official Google nav support, this isn't for you.
Hey guys,
I've modified Brut.all's Maps to better suit my taste and with Brut.all's permission I'd like to share the *.apk with you.
What's changed:
All icons with "BRUT" watermark reverted to stock
The [brut] suffix removed from the application name
Package name reverted back to com.google.android.apps.maps, so everything works correctly, including Car Panel and Chrometophone.
Bonus:
Zipaligned
Map caching enabled by default
DISCLAIMER
I am in no way responsible for damage done to your phone or to you, reindeers run over, alien abductions or global warming Everything you do, you're doing at your own responsibility. The one and only author of this great mod is Brut.all, so all cash and women are to be sent to him.
DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:
1) Always do a nandroid backup.
2) Download the zip file below, put it to your SD card root and flash via recovery or ROM Manager.
squrl_maps-brut16.zip, md5sum e958982666a36ed2a7df1924ae49e7c6
FEATURING IN
Paul's MCR r8 for the HTC Desire online kitchen (WIP)
Neophyte.x360's NextSense Froyo ROM
KNOWN ISSUES:
Some users are reporting that they don't see Maps, Navigation, etc. in the app drawer after they install the update.zip.
If you are experiencing this issue, read post #80, it contains an explanation and a fix as well. It may be a bit drastic, but it's the price you have to pay if you want to use this mod.
Enjoy
Special thanks to Brut.all for his work and friendly approach & to ivarson_swe for the help with package name reversion, and for the tip with enabling the map caching feature by default.
PS: If you like what I do and want to show some appreciation, you can register your Dropbox account through my referral link. You'll get 250MB for free, I'll get 250MB for free and we'll be both happy

works Great!
Works great! thanks for the Mod squrl! the only thing not working is voice search though

Tanks!
..

Great work, but i wonder is that possible to change package name to "com.google.android.apps.maps" instead of "brut.googlemaps" ???
reason to change: brut.googlemaps doesn't work in chrometophone

chrometophone asks what application you want to use when you send it something from google maps to your phone.
So no problem here.
Maybe you selected to allways use the normal google maps?

Strange, i use brut version, because can't install the normal, flashed a rom without google maps over a rom witch had google maps and now can't install the normal version.
But when i send some route with chrome2phone it asks if i want to open it with my browser or googlemaps brut. and it works normaly.

i first flashed this one and then i had to install maps.brut...i wouldnt work if i didnt..and then navipanel separately..and now it works flawlessly
thanx m8

may i know which version of chrometophone and brut you using?

I'm trying to apply the zip via open recovery but it fails "E:Could not find the update-binary." anyone knows how to avoid this? Thanks!

Which recovery are you using? The stock? I recommend clockworkmod recovery by Koush, you can either flash it permanently to your Desire using unrEVOked, or use it with the fake-flash method.

Brut has a new version 4.4, brut15 out. Can you, by any chance, modify it for the Car Panel again?

[REQ] Latest T-Mobile Visual Voicemail

My market says update available, but then cannot find the app. May be because of problems with the MiUi localization, although I haven't had troubles with any other app. Could someone please pull and post? Thanks in advance.

Google Books apk for honeycomb

Could a nice person from the US pull the Google books apk and upload it for us guys across the pond?

Bah you're making us Brits look bad and incapable of using google.

I dont really like getting apks off random sites what with malware etc, and could only find the mobile version on xda. Thanks I'll try this though.
Hmm that website wouldn't work for me anyway.

try either of these:
http://db.tt/f4CwLhq

I tested it before I posted but I get your point.

stuntdouble - yeh I trust you so went to download it but the website kept giving me some rubbish about already downloading a file or something, thanks though
Dufran3 - thanks but doesn't seem to be the correct version? Its displaying like the mobile version on my tablet, I was after landscape 2-page reading with nice renderscript animation, unless I'm missing a setting somewhere..?
Ill try and download the one stuntdouble posted again and give that a go

That is the Phone version of google books.
I was under the impression that the only tablet version of Google books was the one on the Xoom and that the apk on the Xoom was odexed. Additionally the odexing on the Xoom uses an opcode that [bak]smali currently can't handle (hence can't odex)
If the US transformer comes with Google books I'd be interested to see it. But I didn't think it did. If it does, does it also come with Android Movie Studio? Because I really want to play with that.

If you go the development section of this forum there's a ROM called PRIME! v1.2 that includes the tablet version of Google books from the stock US transformer ROM. You could just flash that ROM or unzip the ROM and push or copy system/app/BooksTablet.apk to your transformer.

Ah good idea. I'll give that a go and if it works ok will upload it and post here
Thanks
Edit - here is the apk for anyone else who wants it, I just copied it to /system/app with root explorer but you can push with adb as well. Really nice app I hope they expand the Google Books service to Europe soon.

Thank you, I don't know what was different about your .apk, but it worked. I had a different copy of the tablet apk but it always said "application not installed" when I tried to install it. I have the Acer A500 but I deleted the app and when I wanted it back I had all kinds of problems finding it.

Netease Music - Unofficial English Translation

Ok, so Netease caught on to everything, and put a stop to all of our shenanigans. None of this would be a problem if they just released an english version. I doubt that will happen anytime soon though.
~~~EDIT~~~
Fildo.net is probably the best alternative. They have a decent android app, and it uses the music from Netease, I believe. Check it out!
But I mean, in the event that you are a stubborn bastard and refuse to quite Netease, there might be a way to get around their block. The following was taken from a comment on page 15 by ItsJono. Good luck!
-----------------
From what I understand, the NetEase translation development was forked into two different projects, the one here is for NON-ROOT people who do not have access to root/xposed installer. This uses a modified APK with modified files that NetEase has begun detection for tampering. The second version, is the one for ROOT/Xposed which i'm installing now. The Xposed version is better since it translates the file on the fly in memory versus having a pre-modified APK so that NetEase can update itself and not break translation.
Edit: Okay, the Xposed version of NetEase + Translation Xposed Module + English translation = Works again!
The link to follow is here: http://superdevs.weebly.com/netease-cloud-music.html
I didn't want to do this before because it looked confusing and hard, especially with so much of the information being in Spanish but it turned out to be quite easy. I'll give a quick overview of what I did to help those who want a clearer, native English description of how to do it. The first link was very helpful with it having been translated from Spanish, and while the English was good, it was clear it wasn't their first language and I want to help those who might be a little iffy as to what the process is:
[How to Install Xposed version of NetEase]
Q: Why install Xposed version of NetEase, versus the pre-translated APK located in this thread?
A: The pre-translated APK of NetEase offered by @omarchavez/XDA: omare.chavez is great for users who do NOT have root access on their device. However, it is prone to "breaking" from NetEase's hash check of APK from what my Android developer friend explains as a possibility. The Xposed version allows you to have the latest official NetEase APK installed without having to wait for an updated APK to show up. Xposed version also allows quick corrections in typos in the translation files, whereas it would require a rebuild of the translated APK, of which, the primary developers are Spanish and English translation is not their primary concern.
Q: I don't have root access, which version should I download?
A: The version you should download is the one offered by @omarchavez / XDA: omare.chavez. Download and install Telegram from Google Play Store and use your phone to visit this address: https://telegram.me/neteaseES , then subscribe to his channel so you can receive the latest developments and download the latest APK version of pre-translated NetEase.
-
Before Install: Have root access, and Xposed installed so you can install the Xposed module that translates the program, without breaking the functionality of NetEase
1.) Install AndroTraductor Xposed module, enable it in Xposed, reboot (?) /// Or follow instructions here: http://superdevs.weebly.com/androtraductor.html
2.) Install latest NetEase APK directly from NetEase, http://music.163.com/api/android/download/latest
3.) Download the translation files:
English - http://www.mediafire.com/download/c6...#91;b_1.0].zip
Spanish - https://mega.co.nz/#!GRlCVRID!vyQlET...smSTKzeDbQ5ncs
Spanish 2 - https://userscloud.com/8c66tzcqb8eh
...and then create a folder in your Android device's root directory named "dv_translate", and extract the contents of the translation zip file that you downloaded in your language so that the file structure looks like the images shown in the link.
http://superdevs.weebly.com/uploads/...62598_orig.png
Reboot device and load up NetEase, the app should have some text translated in your language that you downloaded. Images cannot be translated as they would require modification of the .APK contents and would fail the hash check when NetEase checks for modification.
[How to register for Weibo/NetEase account]
Q: Why should I register an account?
A: You can use NetEase as a Guest but miss out features by not having an account. Having an account allows you to have unlimited 320KB/s quality MP3 song downloads, save your favorite songs, create playlists, etc. I would definitely recommend it. It's also not very hard and is a very simple process.
-
1.) To register a NetEase account, go here: http://reg.163.com/reg/reg.jsp?product=music
2.) Use the follow image or Google translate to help you. http://superdevs.weebly.com/uploads/...png?1434101457
*Please note that the image here has a small mistake, the first red arrow on top where it says "Username" is supposed to be your email. I believe you'll be prompted later to choose a NetEase username handle.
3.)Log in NetEase using the information you put and enjoy!
[Credits]
Special thanks to the users OmarChavez / XDA: omare.chavez for making the translated APK and allow me to try NetEase, and nvincent for making this thread and giving this APK project visibility.
This information couldn't be done without the following sites:

Great, thanks for this. I look forward to future update.

I would like to merge my work with yours
Hi,
nice work! I have also started translating this app, and i would like to merge some fixes into your version.
Is there a github or something where i can contribute?
Cheers.

Wow man, thanks for your work, I'll try this app right now.

I constantly get a notification to update the app. I read somewhere that I should not take the update because it will revert back to Chinese. Is this correct?

Yes it was every time I opened the app. I am now using the one that is in the link I provided and I do not have that problem anymore. Hopefully this version gets that fixed as well.

I recommend you to stay with this one as the translation is a lot better.
Right now, to FIX the update notification (might also be implemented by OP in the next version) you need a rooted device and a root browser app.
Goto data/data/com.netease.cloudmusic/shared_prefs/UpdateInfo.xml
I THINK the integer value versionCode is used for the update check (versionCode < serverVersion) - simply increase the value to a lot higher one, I used 99 - no update notification on startup.
With this, I didn't have a notification since 24h, I guess that's a fix for it.
EDIT: got an update notification after 48h.
Sent via HTC One M7 - ARHD Lollipop via XDA free

Haha. I was going to say, wow, that is a clever way of fixing it. I'll relay this info over to the guy working on it and see what we can do. No promises though.

Just a quick update - we are waiting for a new version of apktool to be released that apparently should fix the problem we are running into. Once this is released, we'll hopefully be able to update it.

Here's a link to a modded version of 2.5.4.

The persistent update notification is removed, but the language is still native.

Antivirus programs are stupid. I guess CM security doesn't like the permissions that the app requires, but personally I don't think this contains a trojan, it's a really huge company in China.
(Allthough you can never be sure, in the past, there were several reports of highly popular smartphones on the chinese market that contained maleware by default)
