This map is for the country that cant use navigation on google map. It has been hacked and can be used by any country now.
Installation for root:
1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.
2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall.
4. Install Google Maps6.7.0-ownhere-signed.apk.
5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.(download it from the second post).
Or
1.Uninstall maps from Titanium Backup.
2.Install maps from the Market.
3.Uninstall it normally (not from Titanium).
4.Install the re-signed version.
or ADB
first uninstall Maps from /system/app
HTML:
adb remount
adb push /Google maps6.7.0-ownhere.apk /system/app
Note:
For those who get the "Login Failed" message Pull down the status bar and press all three triangles and give permission then closing maps.
If you don't get the three warning triangles
1. Install original maps from market.
2. Sign in and join latititude
3. Back up maps in titanium, app and data.
4. Wipe date and uninstall maps
5. Install resign version. DO NOT RUN, reboot right after installing.
6. After reboot, go to titanium and restore DATA only.
I'm not going to post any more links to ownhere-maps . After a lawyer representing google contacted me on G+ and then later call me and we had a little talk ,we came to the conclusion that I'm not going to spread anymore modified maps . I'm not going get on the wrong side off Google .. And I'm considering closing the thread .
Admin Edit: These Maps apk files have been removed due to a copyright infringement complaint from Google. Please do not post any more Google Maps apk's
How to get navigasion voice in your own language
1. Download Classic Text To Speech Engine from the marked.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.svox.classic&feature=search_result
2. After installation, open to select the language you want (USD 2.99) to download.
3. Go to Android Settings -> Voice Input & Output -> Text-to-Speech settings, activate SvoxClassic at the bottom of the screen, then select SvoxClassic as the Default Engine.
Notes:
- Google Navigation requires that the Text-to-Speech voice matches the phone language. You can change the phone language in Android Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Select language.

Would anyone like to share how the maps.apk is changed to allow navigation to work in all countries. I'm sure this forum would benefit from this info so that more ppl could help on getting the latest release out when google releases it.

Do somebody please tell me how to unlock the google maps for navigation?

1) Download a working version of the hacked map, its corresponding original version and the latest map version.
2) Extract from all apks their classes.dex.
3) Disassemble the classes.dex (hack, original & new) using*baksmali . This will create a folder of disassembled files for each classes.dex, viz., hfolder, ofolder & nfolder respectively.
4) Use a diff tool such as meld (in ubuntu) to find the differences in hfolder & ofolder.
5) Port the diff (i.e., modified parts) in hfolder to nfolder. Please make sure that they are the same file when porting (i.e., most of the other codes should match).
6) If you realise that the hacked file does not corresponds to the new file (i.e., same file name or file does not exists in nfolder), look for some codes (in the hacked file) that can uniquely identify it and search in the folder, using tools such as grep or find.
7) Copy all files in brut folder to nfolder.
8) Edit the files in brut folder of nfolder such that the references (some function calls to the map classes) in them point to the correct classes/files in nfolder.
9) Once all modifications are ported, assemble it using*smali *which will create a dex file. Name it as classes.dex.
10) Replace the classes.dex of the new map apk with the newly assembled classes.dex.
11) Resign the apk.

yeah it's pretty safe the worst thing that could happen this is that it doesn't work properly . then you can always install the regular Maps from marked

getting "install failed shared user incompatible" on x10, with CM 6.3
dont know how resolve it, googlin' it already
EDIT: dont know how, but i got it working and works nice
Nice. Install was easy. no problem , works great but one question.
Brut Maps 4.6 worked offline with the custom tiles we created and stored on SD in folder brut.googlemaps etc.
How does this work now offline or isn't such thing an option on this version?
Thanx for your time
I think after we "adb push /maps5.2.1-ownhere-resign.apk /system/app" .. we should also set permission right? Need?

I've seen ads before this update too. Mostly when searching for places while on the road. Doesn't happen all the time though, I get ad listed results at the top, and then what I actually searched for at the bottom of the results page.
Is anyone else having trouble installing (downloading) this update?
It tries 10 or more times and then fails saying "download was unsuccessful"
Other apps install/update just fine. (I see about 10 download complete icons/notifications)
Tried uninstalling market updates, and also restarting.

I wonder if thats why it wont install???
Edit:
I deleted maps.apk with Android Commander.
Copied com.google.android.apps.maps into system/app folder and it worked.
Must of been a theme that renamed the apk and didn't allow the update

Right, the originally packaged Maps.apk is in /system/app, however (just like with the market) when an update is issued, that file is ignored for the newer version that is placed in /data/app - it would seem that EVEN GOOGLE THEMSELVES can't modify the RO status of the /system partition to update applications (without pushing a system update requiring a flash in recovery). So you may notice in /data/app (or /sd-ext/app if you use Apps2SD) com.google.android.maps.apk & com.google.android.vending.apk. It is safe to remove the versions Maps.apk & Vending.apk from your /system/app directory (or rename them if you want to preserve a backup in case...).

I've tried updating on both 3G and 2G with no luck either way; it always results in "Download Unsuccessful."
I know that updates work because I updated 3 other programs and only Google Maps fails. Going to have to manually update this one.

Credits
CyanogenMod Team - Source for Protips
Despair, Inc. - All of the Demotivators in this mod.
Insomnia - Making me bored enough to do this.
Requirements
Possibly Root - I assume you have to be rooted since this is replacing a system app.
HDPI/MDPI Compatible
Android 1.5+ - I assume this because minSDKversion is set to 3 by default in AndroidManifest.xml.
Only supports English (res/values/arrays.xml).
About
Basically, I couldn't sleep and was bored and was thinking about how unused/useless the Protips widget is and wanted to make it a little bit more usable. I like to laugh; I like sarcasm and bad humor; I like Demotivators, so all this just sort of came together. I take no credit at all for these; I just put them into this mod. I included all of the Demotivators that I could; there were 7/8 that would not fit because of the length of them; they are pretty easy to find if you go to the site and look through them. Also, there are no pictures included with this because it would have decreased the amount of text I could include. If you have never seen/read any of the Demotivators, then I suggest you go to the site and at least look through all of them because some of them don't make a ton of sense without the picture, but I included those anyways because they make me laugh, and I know what the picture looks like regardless.
Screenshot
The app uses the stock images, this is just using my theme engine theme. Mainly just to give an idea of text.

Code:
Place APK on sdcard, and install with file browser of choice.
ZIP File
Code:
Place file on sdcard and flash in recovery.
Usage
Longpress on homescreen, select widgets, select Demotivators, press widget to cycle, enjoy.

Ending Notes
I hope you enjoy this and get some laughter out of it. I know I do, and it's much needed sometimes.
This is classic! Great work man! Thanks for thinking of this... (ah, the productivity of insomnia) Hmm, could be an original demotivator. "Insomnia... (Won't think of anything funny to put in here until I'm laying in bed tonight)"
Installed fine using astro for me. Thanks for this.

Strange thing, app installs fine but when I add the widget to my homescreen it shows the Android-hints widget.
Installed it through ES-file explorer, IO-file explorer and Super Manager. I'm not able to install it the other way.
Anyone else having this issue?
mmmh made sth. wrong... only get the normal tipps but no demotivations... installed the app via the posted direct-download link
install failed
I tried to install using RootExplorer but was denied. Failed to install. Am going to continue trying and will edit post after I succeed.
EDIT: I finally got a free minute to try again and have successfully installed using terminal emulator and jrummy's Roottools market app. I had to use Roottools to mount system bc I can never remember the correct way to type it in terminal emulator. Here's my method :
1. Mount system with Roottools
2. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following:
PHP:
su
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/protips.apk
reboot
The widget will be in the list after booting back up.
NOTE: Your file may be in a different location and you will need to modify the command accordingly.
Its not allowing me to install. Tells me to 'upgrade'. Its confusing it with protips. Rooted Epic, stock using Astro.

I put a .zip file to flash in recovery in the OP that you can try instead trying to install like a normal apk. I'm not sure of what the issue is.
This is just a modified version of Protips which is why it's trying to make you "upgrade" it.
funny app
great way to replace that horrible Protips app lol. I just used Root Explorer, and went to the System/Apps folder. Just rename Protips.apk to Protips.bak (so you still have it) then just move the Demotivational app to System/Apps and rename it to Protips.apk. Then I just rebooted my phone, went to my widgets, and added it easily

Edit:
The developer of Permission remover has contacted me regaurding the apps inability to sign and reinstall pandora. He has sent me a preview of an update to his app that now does not require the second step of signing the app with zip signer 2
I got annoyed that the latest version of Pandora had permission to read my contacts. I removed the permission and re-installed with my rooted Gnex, without a PC. Here is how I did it:
1. Downloaded and installed the latest version of Pandora from the android market.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pandora.android&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wYW5kb3JhLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
2. Download and install Permission Remover from the Android Market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=at.plop.PermissionRemoverFree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImF0LnBsb3AuUGVybWlzc2lvblJlbW92ZXJGcmVlIl0.
3. Permission Remover can remove permissions from apks stored on your sd card or in the "installed applications list". It is also supposed to be able to save, re-sign, and reinstall the stripped down app but this did not work for Pandora. So I used it to strip the "read contacts" permission but had to complete additional steps described below.
4 Download and install Zip Signer 2 from the Android Market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=kellinwood.zipsigner2&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImtlbGxpbndvb2Quemlwc2lnbmVyMiJd
5. I used Zip Signer 2 to navigate to /sdcard/at.plop.PermissionRemover/New and locate the new "contact permission free" Pandora apk, and sign making sure to specify the file extension .apk.
6. Using a file explorer I installed the newly stripped and signed apk.
If you would rather have the apk I have already cleaned up:
https://www.box.com/shared/mz628clir8uhhh15yqkp
The newest version of Facebook has sms read and write permissions that can be removed via the same process described above.
Here is the apk that I have already processed to remove them:
http://www.box.com/s/3nlnxk6u4jr5dsmeyg3n
So I can do this to remove permissions from any app? Just follow this guide? I think some permissions are not needed at all. Though for each update we need to do this every time right?
Also, when removing permissions it means they can no longer do that right? If so, I will rewrite your guide for a much easier format. Make it look pretty. XD
Plus we can make a list of apps with removed permissions. Free ones of course. XD I would be more than happy to start this project if this goes well.

I cant guarantee that removing permissions won't break an app. There is no harm in trying. If you do remove a permission the worst that can happen (should be) that the app wont work. If it doesn't work, all one would have to do is uninstall the edited app and reinstall from a backup or the market.
As far as I know, removing a permission disallows the app from utilizing them.
The app creator can and often does alter permissions between updates. When prompted in the android market for an app update (if updating works at all) all of the original permissions as well as any new permissions will be restored.

Well if we could figure out if removing the permissions stops them from accessing what they want to. So removing the ability to read contacts from Pandora, makes it so that can not read them any more. At all. Right? That is what I am trying to figure out. So removing a permission disallows it to access the info?

So removing the ability to read contacts from Pandora, makes it so that can not read them any more. At all. Right? That is what I am trying to figure out. So removing a permission disallows it to access the info?

I asked a question, if it is true, would you be willing to do a project and remove unnecessary permissions?
Sure. Sounds like fun to me.
It would be a great thing removing all unnecessary permissions, but, how to know what permissions are really needed for app to work properly? I guess that every app has it's own unique permissions that are necessary but how to know which ones? Is the only way to find that out by trying and errors?
For example, Keypad is using data traffic (if you don't believe try installing Onavo from Market). Why. What would happened if we remove it?
Generally keyboards use internet access to provide spell check/autocorrect or Speach to text services.
But yeah basically you have to decide what functionality you wish to limit, and conduct trial by error studies on how far you can go removing permissions.
The developer of Permission remover has contacted me regaurding the apps inability to sign and reinstall pandora. He has sent me a preview of an update to his app that now does not require the second step of signing the app with zip signer 2!

So we wont need the Zip Signer 2 app ever again or he is just fixing Pandora?
I removed, the Contact permission from Pandora with the new version and it worked without step 2.
I have no access to Facebook. I can't even load it. It says that it can't mount or write /sdcard

We wont have to use zip signer 2 until we find another app that has a problem installing after removing the permissions with Permission Remover. The Developer would like us to notify him about apps that dont install properly after only using Permission remover. The developer has been really responsive. I didn't even contact him. He saw this thread and contacted me.
Does this work? Can we remove permissions from Facebook or Angry Birds?
Not my work!

The Thread
Requirements:
You must be on Ice Cream Sandwich.
Rooted Device
A deodexed ROM
You should be running a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP).
You need at least 60MB of system space for the full offline installation. (30MB for online only version) If you don't know how to check, simply download Titanium Backup from the market. It tells you right on the main screen
Download :
Google Now Offline Version
Google Now Online Version
File descriptions:
Online only zip is for those of you who need to save /system space. It removes the offline voice files, so that offline voice dictation does not work. You must always have some sort of data connection for this type of zip.
Offline/Online zip is for those with no /system space restrictions. It contains the full Google Now package with offline voice dictation.
Update zip is for those who already have a version of GN installed. All it does is change your version to the one your choose without having to download a big file. If you are already on an Offline version, it will update you to the Offline version of whichever you choose. Same goes for Online versions and manual installations.
APK only is for those who have already flashed a zip. You may simply push the new apk to /system/app (overwrite or remove the previous version), set permissions to rw-r-r (0644) {ES file Explorer}, and reboot to enjoy the latest version of Google Now. DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THE APK BY ITSELF.
How to Install:
Move the file you picked in your SD card.
Reboot your device into recovery.
Backup your current ROM.
In CWM, navigate to "Install zip from SD" and select that.
Next, highlight "Choose zip from SD card" and select it.
Select the Google Now zip you loaded onto your SD card, then select it.
Scroll down and select the option that says "Yes - Install Google Now....zip"
Once it has flashed, go back to the main CWM menu and select "Reboot system now".
Launch Google Now by opening your App Drawer and selecting the Google Icon, or by adding the Google Search Widget to your home screen, then doing a normal search.
Go into the settings menu for Google Now and set it up for your Google account and various other settings.

Commands & Now Cards For Google Now!!! Now Video, and custom widget
At this point, I'd suggest looking through your contact list for people with unusual, or difficult to pronounce names. Go into their contact card, and add in a nickname for them of their phonetically spelled name. Google Now has trouble parsing these unusual names, and their isn't a way to make it learn. Spelling the names like they sound allows you to send texts and place calls via Google Now without any voice issues.
Open up the red mic screen and "Do a barrel roll."
Restoring Google Search:
If, for some reason, you want to remove Google Now and return to how you were before, flash the following zip. It removes all Google Now files, and returns the original Google Search app and voice files, as well as sets permissions for the Search app. Make sure to uninstall talkback and then reinstall it once you reboot to get voice search working again.

This is a complete rewrite in Rust of the UAD bash script.
DISCLAIMER : Use this software at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
Summary
I try to maintain a universal tool which removes bloatwares on any Android phones by using ADB.
The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing the attack surface.
Packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not. The worst thing which could happen is removing an essential system package needed during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. So make a backup first!
In any case, you can NOT brick your device with this script ! That's the main thing, right ?
Features
Uninstall/Disable and Restore/Enable system packages
Multi-user support (e.g apps in work profiles)
Export/Import your selection in uad_exported_selection.txt
Multi-device support: you can connect multiple phones at the same time
All your actions are logged so you never forget what you've done
NB : System apps cannot really be uninstalled without root (see the FAQ)

Open an issue on Github. I rarely respond on this XDA thread.
Nice approach. Has someone tried to debloat Google play services? Up till now I install GApps free custom ROMs on my phones.
I try extreme google debloat on Samsung A3 2017. First check was OK. Debloater 2.1 with standard settings GFAM worked fine. Factory reset completely restored all the bloatware.
Second try:
Install f-droid and hacker's keyboard before install
$ adb push F-Droid.apk /storage/emulated/0
$ adb push org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard_1041001.apk /storage/emulated/0
Replace all #"com.google with "com.google in /lists/Google.sh
Debloat GFAM
Reboot is OK. Playstore still there, but can be deactivated. Samsung_bloat can't be debloated.
Sometimes I get the message Google play services has stopped.
F-Droid can install apps. They run.
Galaxy store can't get deactivated.
Edit: debloating webview was no good idea. I've got many crashes of antennapod app. Restoring helped.
Noob solution: copy Samsung list into Google list and debloat GFAM. Looks good. Only headlines are now says four times Samsung.
GMS debloat fails with some device policy error.
Next noob trick
$ adb shell
a3y17lte:/ $ pm uninstall com.google.android.gms
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER]
a3y17lte:/ $ pm disable-user com.google.android.gms
Package com.google.android.gms new state: disabled-user
Hi, thank you for this nice thread, exactly what I was looking for.
Possibly a solution for google play services:
I did deactivated the Google play services on Samsung a20 without computer by entering settings app, then "biometric and security" then "other security settings" then "device admin apps" and unselect "find my device", then head over apps in settings and "show system apps, then search for Google play services and now it can be disabled,
For samsung apps you can deactivate it by deactivating "galaxy store"
Perhaps the user must do that before running the code.
HOPE you can manage to translate that into your code language, and integrate it into your script, so we can all enjoy it.
Thank you very much, worked like a charm.

Search your "debloated packages" list for wifi related stuff and restore that. Or make sure both devices are i the same wlan and use an app like TrebleShot or KDE connect

Small tip : you can directly do
Code:
$ adb install F-droid.apk
There was a pretty nasty bug in v2.1 which prevented using the "manufacturer lists". Use v2.2.1 (or, better, wait for the v2.3 which should be released within the week!)
If you have the message `Google Play Services has stopped` it means you didn't uninstall the package. Did you uninstall some Google packages in the advanced debloat section ?
Regarding the Google Webview you can uninstall it but a lot of apps will no longer work correctly or even open. Bromite WebView is a good and more private alternative if you really need a Webview (which is a kind of mini web browser for apps which need to display web content btw)

@Maybeyou is right. You need to uncheck Find My Device from the Device admin apps before trying to uninstall the Google Play Services.
I already mentioned this in the Google.sh file and a script can't do it. It's something you need to do ! I assume a user will read the package description I wrote in the advanced debloat section before doing anything.

Oh ! I misread you first post actually. You were talking about Gapps free phone. I understand better now!
IMO the most reliable and safest way to get a 99% Google free phone is to install an AOSP custom ROM without Gapps. For the 1% left you need to tinker with DNS, WebView, GPS... (this guide is not bad)
I insist on AOSP custom ROM because a stock-based custom ROM has the same issues as my script. The thing is it is not always possible to unlock the bootloader or to find an AOSP ROM for one's device. This why I created this script.
What is really tedious and not always simple is to document all the packages. There is a LOT of system packages whose the exact function is hard to determine and the consequence of their uninstallation very obscure. When I have the apk I can at least try to reverse-engineer to make some assumptions but it isn't bulletproof.

Nice promotion! "Hey this is second best" I see quite some advantages over aosp rom.
Better hardware support like camera or graphics acceleration.
Better security due to locked boot loader and latest patches in proprietary components.
Better stability - no hobbyists mess around.

- hi guys, i would like to share this exported txt file from 'debloater' which i installed as a magisk module to debloat a samsung phone, in essence debloater works in the same way as the script in the main thread ( thanks @w1nst0n_fr ) other than it can be used locally in termux.
- it took me a while to get the phone to a stable state with multiple tries but i eventually managed to do it.
- I've managed to debloat most of samsung/google junk out including but not limited to google apps, i hope this will help
