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.

Try the "fix apk uid mismatch", or however it's labeled, option in recovery.

Hmmmmmmine is labeled as Maps.apk not as com.google.android.apps.maps.apk in system/apps.
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
thanks Daveid

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...).

Nice info. It worked for me.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Maps.apk /system/app/Maps.apk.bak
adb install -r com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
Also deleted the vending apk in /system, I wonder if thats the cause of the Market crashes...
Any idea how previous updates worked fine?releases

I tried to update multiple times this morining on wifi with the same error "download unsuccessful". I tried everything, wipe cache, fix permissions - NO GO. Then I tried to do the update with wifi off, on the edge network and it worked. Hope this helps someone.

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.

FAQ
Q: How do i install fuji-vega using clockwork
A: To do a new rom install with cwm ,download directly onto your vega the rom zip you want.
using vega tools install paul o briens clockwork recovery and recovery app.
then on vega use recovery app to get into recovery mode
once you are in recovery mode ( vega will reboot and enter clockwork mod recovery if you have it installed properly ) easy to tell, then at this stage you will have a number of options on the screen which before you flash a new rom should be done.
first do a complete backup, move to the header you want with the volume as up/down keys and use the power button to select.
backup takes a while but is essential
then after backup, wipe the cache partition and under advanced the dalvik cache which removes any lingering stuff from the old rom you backed up
then after all this go to the heading marked install from a zip file ( or something like ) and search normally in downloads for the rom file you downloaded.
select it and let cwm do the rest.
once it is finished it will go back to option to reboot ,,,, so reboot and enjoy.
if it goes wrong re flash in the same way or to return to your original rom just do a restore from cwm.
Q: Vega not rooted
A: Download visionary below
install the apk
click temp root (do it twice)
vega should now be rooted.
then click attempt permroot now to permanent root vega so you dont lose root after reboot
Q: How to OC vega to 1.4ghz
A: Download CPU tunner from the market, it should detect the freq. then you can change the freq.
or
put sdtxt to the root of your sdcard, then open setcpu. scroll down to click load from sd/txt. If you already have setcpu setup. just click options,then device,then sd/txt.

Sounds interesting..... especially the Galaxy Tab Email client.... will give this a try. Thanks for sharing....

It's nice to see more roms for the Vega! Will try this rom too! Thanks

Hello alphaola
thank you for this fast rom!
i have a little and one big problem
first the big:
its not possible to connect to a exchange server! "Unable to connect server."
My previous Rom (original Mail App) works whit the same settings clean!
can you test it?
and the haptics on the "APP Menu" is very bad.
when I touch and slide to the next page I always pick an App and drop it to my home screen.
otherwise, this is the best rom atm!
sorry for my awful english....

Go to Spare parts and untick haptic feedback. That should help,let me know how you get on.

hello alphaola
haptic feedback was already disabled.
I have tried the calibration tool and I have the feeling it is a little bit better.
but i still cant conntect to the exchange server.
by the way, thank you for the new rom release!

Nice Addon
Just installed and it looks good.
The Samsung apps needs ButtonSavior or a hardware button re-config to work well (as access the menu not possible as these run full screen)
The email app seems a little unresponsive to clicks (e.g. on the reply button). Maybe I need to recalibrate my screen again... (anyone know if screen recalibration settings are saved between ROM updates such as this?)
I like Canvas and the music app is an improvement over the stock player.
Thanks for sharing this nice update - and in case anyone is wondering - installing this does not mean you lose any of your installed applications or settings (other than for those apps which are replaced) - although as recommended - a system backup is the best option to avoid wasting time in case something goes wrong.
Cheers

Flash doesn't work. It says i have to install a newer version of flash.
Email doesn't work, too. I can't setup an ingoing server. The app crashes if i try to save.
Any suggestions?
Send from my Vega

Certainly a fast rom. However, evrytime i start the vega the email app crashes and is forced closed. Is this a problem with this rom or is it the 1.09 release?

This is a re-hack of modaco r8 rom, so it is not based of 1.09. You are running v1.08.

If you haven't already: Go to applications»manage and clear cache for email.
Should stop the FCs but requires you to setup email accounts again.
I like this Rom but don't like the email app that much (plus I like to get my work email) so just installed the normal email app instead.
Some nice touches.

Thanks for bringing another rom to the vega! Must say it runs very smooth indeed.
I do have the same problem with the email app, though, for some reason exchange seems unable to connect.
Thanks for the effort of putting it together, nice job.

[PORT]Facebook Inside Xperia 2.0-Everything working :)

--THIS IS NOT MY WORK. ALL CREDIT GOES TO BLACKWATCH89 FOR GETTING THE FILES TOGETHER IN THIS THREAD. THIS IS JUST AN ACCUMALATION AND AN EASIER WAY OF MAKING IT WORK. --
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MESSES UP ON YOUR PHONE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!1!1!1111
THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR STOCK BASED ROMS- I.E STOCK 2.3.3, WOLFBREAK V6, POSSIBLY OTHERS BUT HAVE NOT TESTED ON OTHERS.
-This will add SE Home launcher, Media discovery, app discovery,world clock, calendar apps.
okay, here it goes. It's not as simple as it looks so PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
THINGS YOU'LL NEED
-Root explorer or equivalent
-Flashable zip with MOST files:DOWNLOAD HERE
-SEMCFacebookProxy.apk:DOWNLOAD HERE
-SE 2.3.4 Home launcher (all widgets work on this and you can share apps as well):DOWNLOAD HERE
INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW CAREFULLY AND DONT SKIP ANY STEPS.
1.REMOVE ALL FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS! I.E Remove Facebook inside xperia account and facebook sync account. Also, if you want to be extra safe, go to your facebook-privacy settings-apps and websites and REMOVE the facebook inside xperia option.
2.Download all files required, put zips and SEMCFacebookProxy.apk on SDCARD.
3.Flash FB02.zip using xrecovery. Flash 2.3.4 home launcher as well. Wipe dalvik cache.FIX PERMISSIONS (IMPORTANT).Reboot.
4.Install SEMCFacebookProxy.apk using some file explorer. It should install perfectly.
5.Login to facebook, choose sync settings. If everything worked properly you should get a facebook inside xperia message asking for permission options in notification bar.
6.Using root explorer, go to system/app and MOVE SEMCFacebookService.apk to sdcard. Reboot, then INSTALL the same SEMCFacebookService.apk from your sdcard. Reboot again. You might get another authorization notification but that's okay, everything should be working perfectly now.
Troubleshooting
1.If you don't get a prompt asking you to authorize Facebook inside Xperia, REMOVE your facebook sync and FIX sync. Then, relogin into facebook, choose sync options, it should come up.
2.Sharing apps MIGHT not work on new 2.3.4 Home launcher. It might work for you but it's no guarantee. It didn't work for me, but did wrok for others. One thing you can try if it isn't working is to UNINSTALL 2.3.4 launcher by deleting home.apk from system/app (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER!) and reflash it!
3.If you get connection problems with media discovery, try fixing permissions using xrecovery
Have fun!

try that and it should work, there's no difference in our ROM's the only difference is mine is an X10a but that shouldn't matter.

Hey mate, nice work... But your flashable .zip file is builded without system carpet... so it will give error when trying to flash... so if you can fix it...

Please provide log. I have tested on HTC One android 4.4.2. It's also work on Motorola RAZR and Droid Ultra.
If you put apk manualy make sure put jar and libs with xml.

In your updater-script you change permissions for all files in /system/app, /system/framework, /system/etc/permissions, /system/lib (you are using set_perm_recursive command for these directories), but you are installing only 7 files. It is not good idea to change permissions for files you are not installing. From my point of view you need to set permissions only for installed files and do not touch other files.

The problem caused by the original Launcher app. When i renamed the Moto X's Launcher2.apk to .apt, restart the phone and set the MotLauncher - its works fine. I think these two launcher app have a collision because the .xmls inside are very similar.
I erased the apps, files and wipe cache, dalvik cache - sorry i dont have log

Locked bootloder, but rooted phone Not the name, the extension important. Only rooted device you will rename the .apk with rootexplorer or someone like that. I rename the extension to .apt so the system can not see the original .apk.

Yes I am on a verizon moto X locked boot but have root thru slapmymoto.. and I use a great file explorer named fx explorer and used it to change the moto x launcher to .apk.bak but the home screen wouldn't work after doing that.. but I could access previous pages so I pulled up downloads and tried running the three circles apps homescreen, weather and circles.. but they all failed. wonder if I can do this without an unlocked boot?

I see. I have XT1052 EU version, arrived with 4.4.2 and I'm root only after i unlocked the bootloader. That's why i asked the locked boot. If you dont have a 3rd party launcher (nova, apex, etc) it's dangerous to rename the only launcher.
To tell the truth another hungarian forum members tried the circles, but not suceeded. For me the MotLauncher more slower than the original and when the circles widget relod (step back to the main screen) it has slow respond + the clock not working. = wiped the apps and I use nova beta launcher with chronus.

Guys, this can be recreated with far less headache in Ultimate Custom Clock Widget, or Zooper Widget, or any kind of customer widgets.

And here are the permissions those apps MUST HAVE.. some dipship designs an app and wants all of your personal info.. screw that.. no reason to need to know all of that stuff.. a nosy ass app developer
Identity
find accounts on the device
Contacts/Calendar
read calendar events plus confidential information
read your contacts
Location
approximate location (network-based)
SMS
read your text messages (SMS or MMS)
Phone
directly call phone numbers
read call log
Photos/Media/Files
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
test access to protected storage
Other
access mail information
prevent device from sleeping
full network access

Isn't this installing the Droid Ultra Launcher into your /system/ folder? That's far more invasive. Those apps have those permissions because you can make widgets that display that information. It doesn't read it with impunity.

In your updater-script you change permissions for all files in /system/app, /system/framework, /system/etc/permissions, /system/lib (you are using set_perm_recursive command for these directories), but you are installing only 7 files. It is not good idea to change permissions for files you are not installing. From my point of view you need to set permissions only for installed files and do not touch other files.

It's no matter. Anyhow all apps in this folders need 644 even i make script 7 files.

[Theme] DarkMatter for lollipop 5.1.1

I created this theme by hand and it works with lollipop theme chooser and wont be found on Samsungs theme store. Enjoy the free theme
Install Instructions
Step 1
Download http://d-h.st/2uh3
Step 2
Install
Step 3
If rooted
move Theme.DarkMatter.json from data/overlays/trialjson to data/overlays/usersjon
then reboot
If you don't do this step it will only show in Theme chooser as a trial theme
If not rooted you can use package disabler to freeze themes 1.0 so the trial doesn't run out.( untested)
then reboot

This is nice and I'd like to try it but is there a way to reverse it? Undo method - so to speak?

If you wish to uninstall you can switch to a different theme in theme chooser then run DarkMatter.v1.0.apk a second time it says it is installing but it really uninstalling. Then reboot to recovery clear cache/dalvek and it will be gone.

When I apply this theme after moving the file to the appropriate place. It does not apply correctly. I am rooted and I followed your directions but no luck. Any ideas?

Need more info... what do you mean by moving it to the appropriate place (needs to be installed). Also have you checked the md5 to make sure the apk is complete. MD5 Sum: 82c6d66213d44f913e3d04f388f80904
Also do you see a bunch of Theme.DarkMatter.* directories in data/app (if these directories don't exist then it isn't installed) see the example attached below.

Ok im rooted so after flashing the apk i transffer file from trial folder to user folder and reboot then it shows up in themes but when i install it it doesnt change the dialer icons or settings to the appropriate theme. Any ideas?

switch to the default theme then run the install again (it will uninstall the theme) reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvek. Then make sure all directories for the theme Theme.DarkMatter.* in data/app are removed also Theme.DarkMatter.json from /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson. Then try the install again.

Just curious, has anyone found a dependable way to backup & restore the store themes?
I've tried Titanium but I'm either missing something (there are a lot of files to backup) or its just not doable from there because of the way the system locks inactive themes when applied via the theme engine.

I it easier to just re-apply the theme since there is no settings for them, only takes a minute.

Please help
I really like this theme but it's not working for me. I installed it and the trial version works but when I follow the instructions to remove the trial period... It still doesn't work. Please help

there must be a copy of Theme.DarkMatter.json still in the trials folder. If you copied it instead of move it then go back to data/overlays/trialjson and delete and make sure Theme.DarkMatter.json exists in data/overlays/usersjon. be sure to reboot your phone after.

Your the man!

Worked like a charm thanks bro your the man!

I cannot seem to get this to take. Nothing in trial/json and Theme.DarkMatter.json is in userstjson.

Here are some screen shots. I can select and apply the theme but nothing changes.

Need more info like what ROM are you using? Some ROM's break the theme engine. Also check the data/app folder and make sure there is a bunch of Theme,DarkMatter.* directories and try selecting the default theme before selecting DarkMatter.

Using MOAR v1.2. Samsung themes still work. I will check on the rest. Thank you. And yeah the directories are there. Tried selecting the default theme first but it didn't help.

One change seems to have stuck....the little red bubbme that tells me I have a message or missed call is now blue.
