[Q] Google Maps 5.0 for Xperia X10 Mini Pro

Hi Guys,
I have updated my X10 Mini Pro with Google Maps 5.0, it updated fine without any errors whatsoever... but the problem is the Compass Mode button that you can tap above doesn't show. there's no bar above the map (see attachment).
I dont really care about the 3D thing, I just need the Compass Mode feature so the map would automatically rotate and follow the orientation im facing based on the built in compass.
Anyone knows the solution?
thanks!!
GMM5.0 runs in 2D/raster mode on most devices. Try this version to enable 3D/vector mode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9868137#post9868137

Wow thanks man! Ill be trying this one out later. I have a few questions:
1) I don't need my phone to be rooted, right?
2) Im thinking of uninstalling the GMM 5.0 update that I have to bring it back to the stock GMM first, before I install your version of GMM, is that good?
3) Your version is also uninstallable without taking out the stock GMM, right? (just in case it doesn't work on my X10 Mini Pro)
Thanks!
If you don't have a root and original GMM is a system app (it was installed by default), then unfortunately you won't be able to install above file, sorry.

on second thought, if i root my phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the GMM systam app, would that allow me to install your modified GMM 5.0?

Yes, if you uninstall original GMM, then you should be able to install above modded GMM. And you should not have any problem with uninstalling it later. People sometimes has problems, cause they install modded GMM as system app - they copy it to /system/app instead of installing it like any other app.

[Q] how install *ONLY* MARKET-APP on CM7 nightly?

hi,
i have just installed CM7-nightly
CM7 comes without google-apps.
i know i can download them here:
edit: hmpf - i am not (yet) allowed to post links
this way i could install all google-apps for my device.
however, i am quite happy that they are NOT pre-installed, as i don't use them.
the one and only google-app i really need is the market-app
so i downloaded the google-apps.zip for my device and took a look inside the .zip
the .zip contains many .apk's in /system/app folder.
as i want to install *ONLY* the market app so i installed
Vending.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
unfortunataley market app closes after openening it
now my question:
which .apk's do i have to install to get a working market app?
(minimum required .apk's from the google-apps .zip?)
thanks
AFAIK the market app is calles 'vendor.apk'
hi,
yes - but market closes after starting - there must be something missing.
thanks

how to fix market links?

i somehow lost all my app links in the market, i have about 130 apps installed and would like to have the possibility again to update them.
is there any way to get my app links back in the market?
Titanium Backup
already tried Titanum Backup but it says that there are no recoverable links or something like that....
any other methods other than reinstalling all the apps?
Lol, if you don't want to reïnstall all the apps, how would youvlike it?
Only way is backing up your app + data to restore with links
i have them all backed up with titanium but reinstalling them with TB doesnt fix the market problem...
In titanium delete the data for the market and install one app on the market and uninstall it
well i had to reinstall all the apps for them to be visible again... i hope that doesnt happen again.
now i have an other problem, whenever i move a app to the SD card it also disappears from the market.
any way to display them if they are on the SD card?
I´m with the same problem. After installing CM7 last build I receive the new Android Market (2.2.11) and all my downloaded links gone from the market.
When I look for an already installed application its appear as not installed and then I have to download and install it again to its appear in market downloaded list.
Any way to fix that?

i could not find a other solution, in titanium backup/restore you can long hold on the apps and then go directly to the market to download them, that made it a bit less painful to install them again

Yeah I find another similar stupied solution: QuikMarketLinks, this app will list all your installed applications and link to their market page. I downloaded again 60 programs.
If you install AppBrain application you'll be able to reinstall all your applications in one shot (provided that you had already synchronized your phone with the site) as the list is saved on the site. I'm not sure it will reinstall your market links yet but this isn't a big problem as AppBrain - like the official market - shows when there are updates .
I've also noticed that the applications that I've got on my SD card are displayed as non-installed in the market whereas they are displayed as installed in AppBrain app.
The bonus of the application is that you can browse the Appbrain site on your PC, select the applications that you want to install and when you synchronize your phone it will install these applications.
Really a great app!
You might want to try this as it worked for me.
I installed several apps manually by running the apk and selecting install. These apps didnt appear in market as installed, and presumably werent being checked for updates.
I went into settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market->Force Stop & Clear Data
Launched Market again and after re-accepting the terms, all the apps that I had manually installed now appear in my list of installed apps.

1+ worked for me thanks
I have tried this out - worked for me in under 10 seconds on HD2 running CoreDroid. I had over 65 'misssing' apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erismarketfix
well i tried the market fix and it did nothing...
also as soon as i move a app 2 SD i no longer have it in the market:/
someone has his apps on the SD and is still able to see them in the market?

accidentialy deleted market

I accidentally deleted the android market app.
First the app flashes on and off, so I try to delete the whole thing, but now I can't install it back. I tried different vending.apk, I got the install progress bar, but at the end I got the error that the app isn't installed.
I also find it strange that (before i install the .apk) i got the notice that this .apk will change the current installed app. It's quite strange because in the app list I can't find the market app.
Can anyone help me with this?
I got sony ericsson Xperia X10 mini, rooted, version 2.1.
Using root explorer/es file explorer go into root directory system/apps and see if the market.apk is located there , try deleting it if present and restart the phone.Then install the vending apk and hopefully it should be a fresh install and not over writing the previous market installed.Hope this helps.

[Q] Application not installed

I would like to update an apk, (not through market), but the file manger returned a message said the Application is not installed. If I delete the apk, then I can install it, but all the related data are gone. I would like to ask is there any way to resolve this problem next time I update an apk?
