[Q] No Google Maps pre-installed in ICS R4.2 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I just installed the ICS R4.2 into my Samsung S phone, by following the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
However, it does not come with Google Maps. And trying to install Google Maps from market, but not able to due to unknown GT-I9000 mobile device. I believe that was due to my installation of new ROM.
Any idea how i can get Google Maps?
Thanks.
Tom

[Q] Google Navigation Maps for Android 1.5?

Hello guys, I tried to install the latest version of Google Navigation Maps in my Brazilian Cliq XT (Quench), for that I had to uninstall the actual version (dunno the number)...
Trying to install 4+ versions on my mobile I discovered that Android 1.5 is not supported, so I'm without any version.
If I access the site m.google.com/maps it just show a link to open the app, it does not give an option do install it.
Tried searching on Market, no luck. Tried searching on AppBrain the version is not compatible.
Does anybody know how can I install the compatible version of Google Navigation Maps?
Thanks
You can try the appmod Brut Google Maps; I'm not sure is Android 1.5 is supported, but it is probably your best bet.

If I remember correctly Google has added 1.6 requirement just for navigation. GM3.2.0 was first version with both navigation and 1.6 req. 3.1.2 was latest without navigation and with 1.5 support.
@ZeroBarrier, that`s what caused the trouble, Android 1.5 does not support it
@Brut.all, thanks for the detailed info. So, 3.1.2 it is. Do you know where I can download the apk? Gonna Google for it. Thanks.
Thank you for the reply guys.
edit:
Found it on the new, on a site called freewarelovers, new and old versions, too bad I can`t post the link... but, the site /android/app/google-maps
With the version number it was easier

I installed other apps from the store, and they works fine.
Just foursquare needs Google Play Services
And when I want to install it it gives an error :crying:

Hi
Same problem with me. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Duos with custom ROM and Fsquare cannot be installed because google play is missing, and google play cannot be installed because it is incompatible with some app.
I suppose it is a feature instead of an error since several forums talking about the uselessness of gplay services and it seems no other app needed this than fsquare... so I think my rom developer implemented some kind of blocking. Maybe this is the same with the other handset

Look at this thread for a solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38691840
So, the solution is not working for me. It seems google play services is really some kind of spyware from google and need a lot more effort to enable on a handset with custom rom... if anyone has an idea (even about what the hell is this spyware) let me know please

Google Now Launcher

Google Now Launcher is working on my Galaxy Tab 7.7
Maybe you want to try.
Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561057, download and install Google Search and Google Home apk. Maybe it's necessary to install new Google play services first.
And done.
Works great on my device.

I don't know where you're from but if you're fine with English language stock Rom from Singapore works great. But to be honest it's not snappier or more stable it's just nicer. The new stuff works finally

[Completed] Google Play Services keeps stopping.

I have just installed a new ROM (Nougat for Samsung Galaxy s4) but I'm 100% it doesn't have to do with this because I factory reset it first and turned it on before installing the new ROM. Then the issue started happening where every time I wanted to use anything in relation with Google it crashes because Google Play Services has stopped working. I thought it wouldn't be a problem after I installed my new ROM. The new ROM is flashed perfectly but I can't set up anything because my Google Play Services is still crashing whenever I want to set up a Google Acc.
Please help me, I've looked through every forum topic.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running Android 7.1 with the AOSP 7.1.0 ROM. The current version of Google Play Services is 10.0.84 (438-137749526).
Please help because without acces to any google services my device is pretty much rendered useless!
