[Q] Cannot install/update new version of Google Maps & Gmail - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that there are new version of google maps 5.7.0 & gmail 2.3.5.
I don't know why I cannot update them on my Xoom. My Xoom is on 3.2 Tiamat ROM.
Can somebody help me to update it ?
Thanks

You need to be root. Follow this post for Maps Update.

No root, 3.1 3g xoom
Gmail on the market isn't compatible with my xoom. What up with that?

My xoom has already got rooted . I've also already tried the method. The problem is I cannot find any googlemaps in the market.

The GMail on the market is for anything up to Android 2.3.4 only since your Xoom has Gmail 3.2 which is newer than 2.3.4, remember 3.2 is a higher version #, Honeycomb 3.1 comes with Gmail 3.1.

Is there anyway to find out the version of gmail in xoom? When I check in setting>about, there is no statement about the version.

Version code, not the user-oriented VersionName is used by the market to determine newer APK. They must be Max SDK filtering. Its actually listed as incompatible on honeycomb.

Manage Applications in Settings or Titanium Backup will show it. Honeycomb 3.1 comes with Gmail 3.1 and Honeycomb 3.2 comes with Gmail 3.2, both are 3.x while the market version is 2.x.

I have a completely stock US WIFI only Xoom and Maps updated to 5.8.0 automatically.

I have posted a couple methods for updating Maps in the Tiamat rom thread

Which Tiamat ROM are you using? Manta Ray states that not being able to update maps is a known issue that is being worked on. Looked under the "Release Notes" section on the first post here:

Orkut app won't get online?

Hey guys, I just installed the new Orkut app just to see what it's all about (just signed up for Orkut... morbid curiousity) and it says I should check my data connection and then load the app again.
Every time.
Anyone else had this problem?
I'm running DamageControl 1.0. Thinking of trying this out with another ROM to see if it's a problem with the Eris frameworks.
It's a known problem with the 2.1 roms, in most of them apps like Orkut and Bank of America online don't work. The only rom that I know it works on is Darchlegend v4

I only tested the BoA app, and it worked in his but not the others. I'm assuming the rest will to

Qik version question

I noticed there is a newer version of Qik in the Market(T-Mobile specific), but our tabs aren't seeing it as an update. The stock version on our tabs is 04.40 and the market version is 05.38.4.
Anyone updated yet? If so any issues or new features?
Post update: I installed it. It does install as an update even though it doesn't show up that way. Release notes only say "reliability improvements".
Weird on my Srint Tab stock version is same as your stock version 4.4.
In the market I see version 0.03.765.
I also see the HTC EVO version listed in the market at version 0.04.60.2
Im going to hold off installing the market version for now.
Thanks for the post.

[Q] [Prime v1.5 ROM] certain apps don't show in marketplace

Since flashing to the new prime v1.5 ROM certain apps don't show up in the Marketplace. The one app that doesn't show up is the one that I wrote. Everything in the AndroidManifest.xml is set correctly so I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. When i revert to the stock ROM the app shows up. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the builds.prop file that is causing Marketplace to filter out.
Sidenote: The stock rom i'm using is version 3.0.1 and the prime v1.5 ROM is 3.1, but my app shows up for any version higher than 1.5. I've tested this on other tablets running 3.1.
Does anyone have any thoughts or idea how the marketplace determine which apps get filtered out?
I can pasted my AndriodManifest.xml or build.props it that would help.
Thanks

Thanks for the post. Especially, with some other users (Sprintusa) 'modifying' the Netflix's APK into their own twisted versions and trying to pass it to others as the 'Official' one. LoL. Thanks for sharing this one straight from the Market.
thanks for this I'm trying to install on my tablet hp c510

App updates (Gmaps, Whatsapp) with ICS

Hi,
I´m on the SVHD Rom but still didn´t get the google maps v7.xx update or the new whatsapp update.
Is this only because I use a ICS Rom?
JB Roms aren´t an option due to Hitachi-panel

You won't get Google Maps v 7.XX update, it's JB only.
Not sure about WhatsApp.

In the playstore description it´s written that it will be rolled out for android 4.0.3 and above. But I´m wondering how long this "roll-out-wafe" takes.
Well, while writing the op, I got the whatsapp update

I was also wondering that 4.0.3 thing, but in the article about maps v 7.0 on android police, the .apk-s for 4.1 and 4.2 were included that's why I though it would be Jelly Bean only. If it's also for ICS, then, I'm happy.
Well today the google maps update arrived
