I guess you have it installed in system/app ?
If so do it manually, with your explorer (ES explorer for exemple), go to system/app/maps.apk and delete the maps.apk, then install the GMaps attached in OP.

its preinstall when i got my phone.and i cant seems to delete it.my phone is not rooted.any other ways?

[APP] Colombo OPEN GPS - Client GPS for Google Navigation

Columbus is a free gps navigator open source project, that works like a client interface for Android System google navigator adding several features to it.
Actually the Colombo GPS Open project main interface supports only Italian and US Languages, but it can work worldwide, as long as it uses Google Navigation online Maps resources.

- Pre-load and edit favorite addresses offline, and access them in a second time, when you are online and gps aligned

+++++THE BIG FAQ+++++
CAN I NAVIGATE OFFLINE?
Many user asked me the same question: Is possible to use Colombo totally OFFLINE? The answer is..it depends on where you are located and the chance you have to put google maps of your area offline, seek in internet several packages to put google maps offline, and you have chance to do have a totally free offline gps navigator, using Colombo.
This software is intended "as-is", without any warranty, as EULA described.
Youtube video, example seeking a place in France:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVs8MB0T_OI
Youtube video, last version of Colombo GPS, uses the new Galaxy Note gps hardware for a turbo gps fix:

01.From the main menu of Osmand tap on "Settings"
02.Then tap on "Offline Data" (Image 05)
03.A new window is displayed (Offline Data manager). There you can see what types of offline packages you already have, how much free space you have etc.
Tap on "Download" (Image 06)
04.On the new window you have the freedom to type in the desired Country and all the available Data for it is displayed below in the list (Vector map,Voice,Points Of Interests ...). Mark the data you want to download.

Thank you "jsomby" for supporting the project by having bought the App from the Market.
This is a pre-version, not quite final for the market. Currently there is no change at all between 0.6.9 beta and 0.7.0 alpha, it is an internal naming procedure.
Best regards

Excuse the confusion, but the thread was moved here and the attachments were not available for a short time.
Feel free to download and have fun

Looking forward to hear your opinions.

new OsmAnd Navigation, Plugin
Hope you find the new plugin useful.

Love the app. It does a much better job of showing map details when zoomed out than Navfree. The one issue I am having is it constantly says rerouting when I am driving straight down the current rout. Sometime every 30 seconds. Any way to fix this?

OsmAnd doesn't reads the German addresses format... Is there a workaround?

OsmAnd doesn't reads the French addresses format... Is there a workaround ?
For instance this is the adress of a church in Paris 63 Rue De Caumartin 75009 Paris cannot be found

Does Maverick show routes in a map?
Can I load routes (i.e. in GPX-format from gpsies.com) and show them in the map? If so, one or multiple routes?
Thanks!

!Nexus 5 Launcher with "OK Google"!

Saw this on phandroid and thought it was worth sharing here.
If you're like me and you want to test out some of the most noticeable new features in Android 4.4 KitKat then this is for you.
I have tested cm11 alpha1 for about 30 minutes and all I can say is that it's nothing more than a proof of concept at this point (just like the alpha tag suggests).
So if you want some of the quirks of KitKat in a stable environment (any jb rom) here's a way of getting some of it.
While Google still hasn’t provided the actual launcher in the Play Store, some simple sideloading of the GoogleHome.apk we found in the Nexus 5′s factory image, along with the updated Google Search app, got everything up and running. Here’s our easy how-to on getting GEL installed and fully functional on your Android device.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First, make sure to enable the sideloading of apps by going into your device Settings > Security > and checking Unknown sources. From there download the updated Google Search and Google Home from us (linked below). Jump into your Downloads app and install both the apps you just downloaded (press the descriptions, not the check boxes), selecting “done” after every installation.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/gxv7cvpcvv79i23/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox318.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3ina0fd8fwki5fo/GoogleHome.apk
From there, press the home button and select “Launcher” as your default homescreen — this is the new Google Experience Launcher. You’ll notice the always listening “Ok Google” command doesn’t work from the Google Experience Launcher. No worries, turning it on is easy.
For some, you’ll be able to swipe to the left and quickly access Google Search/Now, but if that’s not available, you’ll need to actually enable the new Google Search/Now app. It’s easy, just open the Google Search app (listed as “Google” in your app drawer) and click “Next” then “I’m in.” Once that’s taken care of, jump back to your homescreen. You’ll now be able to swipe to the left and access Google Now.
Once in Google Now, scroll all the way to the bottom and press the 3 dot menu to select Settings. From there, select “voice” > “offline speech recognition” (manage downloaded languages). Now, we’re going to work our way from the right tab, all the way to the left.
Select the Auto-Update tab from the top and choose one of the auto-update options (we recommend leaving it on “over WiFi-only”). After that, scoot over to the All tab and find English (US). You’ll notice it already says “pre-installed”. Don’t listen to it. Select English (US) anyway. From there, jump to the Installed tab and press “English (US)” where you’ll be asked to download the latest version (version 28 at the time of writing). Hit “Download” and the updated version will be downloaded and installed.
After it’s finished downloading, press the home button where you’ll notice “Ok Google” will now be displayed inside the Google Search widget. Simply speak that phrase whenever you’re on your homescreen to perform a Google Search or voice actions. That’s it. Was relatively painless, right?
Thanks, Justin!
