Signed version of maps5.9.0 added to OP
Hi All,
Signed version of maps5.9.0 added to OP now simply install like other apk.
Installs at first then says Not installed
Installs at first then says Not installed
Help please, I beg you. Thank you very much!
Why is this version here? I mean - navigation always worked for me from google maps - not on the map but it loaded google navigation when I clicked address on the map.
Is this here different? I mean - you navigate using GM? Is it better? Or is this a problem in your countries (I live in UK)?
Thanks for answers.

With Cyanogen Mod 7, you can choose which Gapp you need when you set up the first Gmail account, as a CM 7 user I no longer update this gapps package.
By the way, the gapps package is only to be used with CM6.

If you have already installed your ROM and have been using it for a while, you may also try this more convenient way to move updated apps from /data/app to /system/app if you have Titanium Backup installed :

TB will move it from /data/app to /system/app
or you could manually move the files with Linux commands.. both options, IMHO and no offense whatsoever to the effort put in to these packs, are better than waiting for update zips.. use the market as it was intended

Thanks to Carig for providing the above procedure
-------------------------------------------
By the way. It's easy to make an update package by yourself!
Here are the steps that I used:
1. Download any gapps update pack
2. On your phone, update Google apps
3. Find your updated google apps' APK files in /data/app, copy & paste them onto your SD card
4. (optional) if you Want to immediately apply your update pack after making it, uninstall updates of all your updated Google apps from Market
5. copy updated APKs from your SD card to your computer
6. use any Zip file manager (e.g. 7-zip, a free one), open the old Google apps update package (the zip file)
7. Carefully re-name your downloaded APKs to the names in the update package (e.g. rename com.google.android.gm-1.apk -> Gmail.apk)
8. copy and paste your new APK files into the Zip archive
9. (optional) sign your package, using Zip Signer (freeware on Android Market) or using this tutorial:
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
Thanks man, it's so useful to me everytime I flash a nightly : )
Thanks a lot!
Thanks very useful
thankyou very much
I would love to see a program which can work with exchange Group adress lists. That together with a nice email widget is moving me towards sense all the time.
Good Stuff! Thanks
what abt market?
If it's not already on /data, will this move it?
Prob a stupid question...
What if we already have GApps installed and we don't want to wipe?
Maps 4.7 is out.
Thanks guys, new pack is now up, including updated Maps, soundback and Terminal Emulator, rebased on CM's gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip.
This update package will not automatically remove updates which you already done in Market, but it's easy to remove them. Just go to Market and "uninstall updates" to all your updated system apps.
I'm currently learning how to make update script, I hope I'll implement that feature later.
Thanks for your work, I'll keep an eye on this thread too

Thanks a lot,
Now I'm on holiday so I'll give them a try I'm very new to Android development.
I had few problems with the Terminal Emulator, I can not simply replace AndroTerm.apk with newer version, it will force close if doing a clean installation (flash rom then immediately flash the update package)
I'll look into this problem....
Hey guys
New pack is now up
includes updated Google Voice, Voice Search and YouTube.
thanks, keep this updated

I am not sure whether this has been posted in the N1 apps forum before.
I just stumbled upon this in the desire forum. Basically this is a modded GMAPS apk which has World Wide navigation enabled. This helps for people like me who stay in countries (India) where official GMAPS navigation is not enabled.
Attached is the APK file.
Also the newest version can be found at the below site.

EDIT:
Steps to install thanks to mynameisjon
1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup in case anything goes wrong (you might wanna nandroid instead, but I find this works fine.
2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall (may be unnecessary, but I found it worked, so you can let me know if it doesn't need to be done).
4. Install this apk(it's a resigned version that's linked to the market, so you can get updates*.
5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.
*If you updated from market, Navigation will be deactivated according to Google's restrictions again, so I recommend unchecking auto-update.
EDIT: 05/12/2011
A new version is available... --> http://translate.google.co.in/trans...t+mod&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns
5.2.1 is on the above link too (latest version as per the market)

Code:
I am trying to install 5.2.1 & will report with results in a few moments
It works as stated
It says "application not installed"
Yeah. 1 thing i forgot to mention is that you would have to uninstall existing Maps application if any. Otherwise the installation would fail.
it works. thanks

You'll need root as the Map file is in system (no access to it without root)
Features:
worldwide navigation using Google Maps Directions
map tiles caching on SD card
ce-enable MT. If you're on Eclair or some custom Donut and don't have multitouch zooming, then maybe this will enable it.
ce-enable Buzz feature
fix map shift issue in China
option to hide zoom buttons
instable on non-rooted devices

I installed the newest version of google maps brut (from here) and there is no option to store maps for offline-use in Labs, only scale bar and measure options like before 5,7.
I installed the resign version (maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk) on my SE X10mini and everything works except for the offline storing.
Version (from maps>about): 5.7.0-ownhereMOD-thanks-Brut.all(#5713) gmm-android-htc
Ideas anybody?
Also, this is how I installed. (Instructions from the thread I mentioned above)
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 Maps 5.x ownhere-resign.apk
5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.
Problem solved!
Solution
Probably caused by not having stock ROM.
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.
google maps 6.0 ownhereMOD for unroot devices or for root
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 Maps 6.x ownhere.apk
5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.
or ADB
first uninstall Maps from /system/app
HTML Code:
adb remount
adb push /maps5.x.apk /system/app
Alternative installation method

Hi way2me25,
See you can not have both the maps (orig. and modded) installed side by side. You can try Titanium Backup (free ver.) and take a backup of your stock map app. Then installed the modded version and in future if you want to go back to stock, just restore the original from Titanium.
Hope it'll help you.
Thanks,
Thanks!

yes, you need to have root access to use Titanium backup, BTW the apk file that is attached in the post 1 does not require root, you can simply install it via any file manager e.g. ES File Explorer.
