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

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.

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.

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?
I'm a bit busy ATM, but have that planned fot tomorrow

Hi, First off I am a big fan of cLock and want to thank you for takeing the effort, and perfecting it and bringing it to non cm roms. I just would like to give a feedback for you. I downloaded newest version from play store. Although it has installed seemingly fine, and it does start when clicking the icon and can do the settings, when trying to add it to one of the homescreens or to the lockscreen it says "application is not installed" I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9505 with newest 4.3 stock modifed rom (omega v13.1). Hope you'll be able to fix it soon and we all can enjoy this superb app!

Hey man, already tried it. But I wasn't able to put the widget on the homescreen and a pop up says 'app not installed', though I get it from playstore. I guess it's not working on 4.1.2.
Hi guys,
I'm sure this question has been asked before but the search feature on XDA never works for me and Google hasn't been any help. I'm currently using Cataclysm ROM but I'm considering trying out Carbon ROM. Anyway my question is: Is there a way to get Halo notifications on any ROM? You know like the facebook message notifications. Is There a flashable zip or an APK that will give me Halo notifications on my Nexus 5?
Please try not to flame me I have searched but couldn't find and answer.

the only workaround is through xposed framework, there is a module for that, you will also need an app like floating notifications..
here is a tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mRTaKCBgxc
as for the HALO from paranoid android, you'll either need to find a ROM that already has it, or, since it is open source you can compile it with your own ROM.

no problem
if i remember well basically the idea of the workaround is that the module gives you the "window view" of the apps , and the floating notifications app gives you the HALO circle, so they work in conjunction. Anyways, i think it should work just as the original HALO.

I just recently switched to an AOSP based ROM, and I incorectly thought that the Tasks app was a google app when it was actually an HTC app. I can't find the APK anywhere, and it would be great if someone could get me a copy of it.

Hello!
Can anybody tell me which Launcher XTRONS is using for their Headunits with Android 8.0 and where to get it from? (see attachment)
It's my favourite one and I would like to use it with a Custom ROM.
Thank you!

Here you are. I've extracted them especially for you from the Malaysk ROM. The launcher you are looking for is the GS one
P.S. It could be that you also need the widgets. Ask me again if so.
Great, thank you!
PS: yes, please also give me the Widgets - THANK YOU!

thank you, but I can only find the widget for the HCT launcher - or is it the same as the "GS" launcher? (the one that I am looking for)

HCT is the software developer of different Android head units like HA, GS, KGL, LM, KLD, ... The software installed on the units is the same, only the launchers are different. That`s why this apk is called HCTwidget_GS.apk. GS is Xtrons (seller).
Hey Guys,
thx Oberbergler for the upload, but it doesnt work for me and my friend.
The installer just says that he cant install this program. (Launcher3_GS.apk) @erdloch
Did u had any success with the installation?

That's a package name problem because all hct launchers in Android 8 are using the same package name. You have to uninstall the stock launcher of your ROM first.
I had no chance to try it yet, but will probably do this today or tomorrow.
Maybe a stupid question, but what happens when I delete the stock launcher? Do I still have an interface where I can install the Launcher3_GS.apk? Do I get the "standard" Android launcher?

Thx for the answer.
I've uninstalled all the launchers in the system apps including Launcher3, except the LauncherLM. That's the only launcher remaining on my device.
And i still can't install the Launcher3_GS.apk
Do you know where I've could went wrong?
I have the same problem as waxjee...any suggestions?
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it. We need an app with different package name, but I don't know how to compile it.

You could try changing the package name by editing the AndroidManifest.xml file using apkstudio. I use version 4.0.3 and have done with other apps that I need original and modified versions installed on the same deviice and it works great.
Change the package name (Usually top line "package=")
Save
Build
Sign
Then copy to your device and install
The save, build, sign are all buttons on the toolbar, and I have found it works a treat.
Hello,
wanted to ask if someone has already solved the problem, the GS Launcher to install and if he did it how the whole thing works.
Thank you for your feedback
Hi, i found this forum thread after looking for the exact same launcher theme. Im havin no luck installing it, i seem to have no permissions to install it at all. I've yet to try apkstudio, but im completely unable to uninstall the stock launcher, the option is greyed out! Any ideas?
This would also be very useful for me too as I am indeed looking for this launcher. But my unit has not been rooted and have no wish too... can this still be done?
It's an old thread but hopefully it's still alive
I tried changing the package name using APKStudio but somehow I couldn't. Can someone with the right skill set please change the package name for the "GS" LAUNCHER located in the first page and uploaded it back here. Thanks a lot!
any one had any luck with this?
anyone get this working?
