LATEST AND LAST EDIT TO THIS THREAD:
Download the new maps from Google in the marketplace for Google Navigation. Works Android Phones running the 1.6 platform.
No need to follow these instructions anymore!
---------
#Thought I would make a thread with clarified instructions on installing the new Google navigation on a G1 running Cyanogen's ROM. There have been a lot of #problems with the instructions in the other thread since the files supplied (namely build.prop and build.trout.prop) are not correctly referencing each person's #setup correctly.
#Instead of pushing generic prop files onto your phone, you can simply edit one line in your build.trout.prop file found in the system directory on your G1. #Thanks goes to aad4321 who posted it.
#The edit is simply changing the ro.build.fingerprint line to:
#ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
#You can pull this file, edit, remount, then push back onto your phone to allow you install the new maps.apk. You can find the new maps.apk file in the #attachment. You can also find batch files to do all of the above, but is only guaranteed to work on the 4.2.5 ROM. All other Cyanogen version users can use #these files as well if they replace the build.trout.prop file with their own, and then edit the line as above.
#This method will keep all your apps intact, and not cause any problems with marketplace (protected apps not showing), google voice (force closing), facebook #(force closing), etc as reported in the other thread.
#<EDIT 1>If you get the errror "Device not found," make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in settings (thanks kizer).
#<EDIT 2>After performing a rm command, if you get a statement about the directory or file not existing, all is fine. Those rm commands are just trying to #find all possible places the old maps app could be stored, and so if it doesn't exist, you don't have to worry about it. Just go on to the next step.
#<EDIT 3>If you don't see the navigate function, install google voice.
#0) Connect phone

While I placed the files from his zip directly on my SDcard and used terminal to run the command, Junker's method appears stable. I have Google voice, protected apps in market, and functional Navigation. (can't answer for facebook, since I don't have an account.)
Note to someone who does not know shell commands...don't try and copy the ADB commands they are not the same. Know what you are doing before you do it.
Thanks for the post Junker02
i really dont get why there are like 325435412512 threads for this.
They should be condensed into 1.... and listed as separate options/ways to do it.
I had no connection then realized I didn't have USB debugging enabled.
Seemed to work fine.

I believe the methods listed on the other threads are incorrect, or are more complicated than need to be (and possibly breaks other apps). I only found this method buried in the think-tank post, and though it was suggested for the OP to fix the first post, it never was. Hopefully others who are on Cyanogen's ROM will appreciate the info.

I agree, the other threads over complicate it and cause problems for those who don't know what they are doing. If they learned how to do it themselves there would be less questions and complication.
But then again, now this is just another thread about nav. Really, they should all be locked and something like what is in the first post should be put in the informative links thread.
wanted to thank you for instructions, possibly a better forum wiulda been q&a, as I go there to find answers and help solve some =) other than that this does clear some things up such as the ro line. Like in the other post it says almost same thing but fails to mention the line to change. Etc..etc... this did catch my eye and I was was about to try another method for my buddies phone and this saved me of searching through a thread. My penies, again ty.

I had no problems, but I did it myself:
from scratch (no map mods, orig build.prop):
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.trout.prop build.trout.prop
open it with notepad and edit the line
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
so that it reads
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
save it
adb push build.trout.prop /system/
adb shell reboot
now reininstall google voice from market and reinstall maps with the new one

ok, even easier, do you have astro?
you can navagate to the /system directory, copy the build.trout file to your sdcard directory. mount your sdcard and edit the file with notepad. copy it back over to the /system directory and reboot
then install voice and maps
or try doing the same from your pc using droid explorer

The ADB app is included in the download. I'm not sure if it will work without the driver installed, but you can give it try and report back. Simply run the two .bat files and it will execute all the necessary ADB commands automatically.
Worse comes to worse, you would just need to install the driver for your phone.
Ok, here are the steps I took without adb, since comps at work do not allow USB write.
I uploaded the build.prop and maps.apk and sent them to my email using yousendit.com
Downloaded both into sdcard/download
Using "Root Explorer" navigated to /system and set it R/W (there's a button on the top)
Moved the build.prop to /system
Reboot
Install Maps
Reinstall GoogleVoice
Voila!
When I run the first batch file I get this errror: Device not found.
I've never gotten this message before. ADB was working fine for me a few days ago, before I reinstalled 4.2.5. Any ideas?

If you can't get the batch files to work, edit the batch files to see what commands are performed, and execute them in a terminal. There aren't that many.

adb remount says "error: device not found"
Here you go guys, safe simple and so easy a caveman can do it... (insert the, "If you break it, it's your own fault disclaimer here.)
Download the file in the first post of this thread.
extract the file on your hard drive and copy the build.trout.prop file and the Maps.apk, then put them on to your SD Card.
If you can't get this far....we have a bigger issue.
Then in terminal emulator type
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
reboot
When the device reboots then do this one in the terminal emulator
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
reboot
*Note: Someone might say that the reboot at the end of this code is not needed. That maybe, but it worked just fine for me.
Now using Astro, or another file manager, install the maps.apk from the sd card.
If prompted, install the voice. I had it from other programs.
Turn on GPS
Open the drawer
Click on Maps
Let the Maps program find you
Then click menu, directions
Enter the destination, and click go.
It should show
Code:
My location
<the destination address you entered>
Show on map
[B]Navigate[/B]
Thanks for making clear instructions for the terminal emulator [email protected]
Everyone please remember that one can only use the build.trout.prop file in the first post if they are also running Cyanogen 4.2.5 on the G1, else you run the risk of app errors and force closes. If you are running a different version of Cyanogen, make a copy of your own build.trout.prop file found in your system directory, and edit it.
Since we currently can't write to /system while Android is running, the AdFree app is unfortunately unusable. However, here is the hosts file that the app supplies you with, so you can still put it into your phone manually.
Download the attached file, unzip it and place the hosts file on your sdcard. Then, open up a command prompt, load up your recovery menu (using the instructions in toastcfh's guide) and type:
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc/hosts
exit
Now you're AdFree
As in AD free while on the web only? Or does this block the ADs that are displayed within certain programs? Like Spare Parts for example.

Everytime the phone goes to download an ad, it gets blocked. So in both the browser and inside apps.
a) not development
b) i already did this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695196&highlight=adfree
I'm guessing this requires root?
Also, those commands can't work AFAIK, because mount needs two arguments.
Or am I missing something here? I'm new.
I have actually had 0 problems running adfree right out of the box. Installed, ran and bam no ads. Didn't have to modify nothing through ADB.

U running 2.2? BC I see lots more adds since 2.2, it blocks some but not most.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You know, to my embarassing discovery, I never noticed (as I found this thread from google) but this is the forum specifically for EVO.
I'm running a DX (so 2.1), so that may be the problem. But still, I wouldn't think such things would be different in the OS. Guess the package it differently. Oh well. Not gonna bother rooting my toy just yet, hehe. Sorry bout the confusion.
AdFree is working perfect on CM7 nightly 23 & 25 & MikFroyo 4.5 but it does not work if you have BusyBox 1.18.3 but works perfect with BusyBox 1.17.1. I did not test other versions but I think the problem is related to BusyBox 1.18.3 by today 03/19/11.
Still there are ads running on some apps
like moneycontrol, and more.

Its not updated, try absolute system tools from the Android Market. It downloads an updated script
If anyone is interested I created an app (Warning: requires ROOT) that allows you to enter one or more URLs and/or file paths and merges them and installs them as hosts. You may find the source-code here: https://code.google.com/p/android-ad-blocker/
I'll try to fix bugs for it but I can't promise I'll have time.
Edit: I made a new version because the old one had some issues transferring large files. You may find it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8443626/android-ad-blocker.apk
Adfree works fine, Am I missing something? I just ran it, it updated my host file. I checked again and it said it's the latest version

x2 im confused
@ acme64 : Some people in market comments complained that it doesn't work fine anymore and it's a root app with closed source. Since it was simple to write a similar tool I did it for myself mainly.
@ Don74y3 : The way to use the application is to put a URL to a hosts file. You may use for example the one in the screenshot (I can't put the link here because of forum rules but use Google to search for "hosts file winhelp2002" and from the first link, take the address from "To view the HOSTS file in plain text form") and then click "Apply". What the program does is get that file and put it in your (rooted) Android phone. That file in turn lets the phone avoid domains that serve ads or malware. The app can take more URLs and merge them, but that's not necessary. After clicking "Apply" it is recommended to reboot the phone to make sure the changes go into effect. You will see that the pages load faster and without ads.
P.S. I'm not affiliated with the guys that make that hosts file, though I'm grateful for their work.

Hi, the programs tries to figure out where the /system partition is mounted on your phone (this is because it has to switch it to read-write, put the hosts file and switch it back to read-only). I wrote the program to parse the output of the "mount" command.
Unfortunately it seems that on your phone the output is far different than what I expected. I don't know how to fix this unless you can send me the output of that command on your phone - by PM for example. To do this use adb (try to Google for how to get Android Debug Bridge) with your phone connected: run "adb shell" from a command prompt and at the shell prompt type "mount" without quotes and send me the output - at least the line that contains "/system".
Hi,
I have a different question.
I used adFree but then decided that I actually wanted see the ads on my apps.
I removed AdFree but the ads are still gone.
Is there a way to bring them back?
Rooting
You will need:
A source of Better Terminal Emulator.apk (3.38 works) (From now on called BTE)
A working android dual-boot
How to:
Somehow get BTE onto your netbook
Install it using the provided file manager. (DON'T WORRY THAT PACKAGE INSTALLER CRASHES. THAT IS NORMAL. JUST CLICK FORCE CLOSE AND PICK BTE FROM THE LAUCHER.)
There's no need to install the plugin, just click OK and open and close BTE until it opens a green text on white background.
Exit BTE for now and download busybox
Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
Get Root Explorer from somewhere and install it with file manager
Open it. Test whether busybox works by clicking the mount r/w button. If it changes, your netbook is rooted!
Installing Apps that give "application not installed" in the package installer
Get the app you want and find it in root explorer
Long click the APK and click copy
Right click > more > home
Click mount r/w at the top (MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED, SEE ABOVE)
Go to /data/app and click paste
Find your apk and long click and click rename. Name it com.publisher.appname
Long click on the apk and click permissions
Tick the 1st two boxes on the first row, the 1st one in the second row and the 1st. one on the third row.
Go to your launcher (I use GO Launcher EX) and see if it's installed. The app may still force close. If it has not installed, wait a while and see if it appears or try copying it to /system/app and back again

Hi thanks for the guide I've come across a problem though. I've installed BTE and got to the stage
Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybo
But when I type in the second line it says that it cannot create the directory because it is read only.
Any thoughts on why it is doing this?

You can move to /x-root/app or /sdcard/app (make the folders and move the app apk into it first)

Bluestacks Alpha is out today and with some snooping, I managed to install some apks both from the phone and directly from the computer. Perhaps someone wants to try to give it a root and a soft honeycomb keypad? (I am also currently trying to root it) EDIT: Root and soft keypad hacks available below!

http://freestacks.me/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9
How to install apks from the computer (WARNING: Apps installed this way CANNOT be removed):
1) Right-click on the .apk file and click on "Open with..."
2) Click on "Browse..."
3) Navigate to "C:\Program Files\BlueStacks" or for 64-bit computers, "C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks"
4) Double-click on "HD-ApkHandler.exe"
5) Click on "Ok"
Bluestacks will install the .apk file and notify you when its done.
What I have found out so far:
1) Not rooted EDIT: Rooted but not of any use (Update #8)
2) Its a full Android emulation, with Android itself installed on a emulated sdcard
3) Its soft-buttons are mapped to Android's hardware buttons, but the home button is removed, and apps are run using a custom launcher/windows sidebar gadget EDIT: Temporary fix using Button Savior (find it on alternative market) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18625951&postcount=67)
4) Android market can be synced onto the computer if its a custom rom (not tested for standard roms with the original market as I have a HD2) but does not work as there is not way to add an account to it EDIT: It appears to be blocked from accessing Google's servers. (Appears to be fully working, but requiring an account) "RE"EDIT: See updates below for instructions on how to get market to work. (Update #2)
5) Custom homescreens can be installed, although it only runs when you somehow find the homescreen selection menu (I installed a apk through my computer, and when I removed it via Astro File Manager's uninstall, the icon for the app stayed in the Windows Sidebar Gadget and selecting it allowed me to choose between homescreens, widgets work on custom homescreens.
6) Settings can be accessed via a custom launcher (See attached screenshot: Bluestacks.jpg)
7) Attached screenshot contains the phone info and Android version

sorry for the mess in pictures... but I had a hard time remembering what I did last night but you'll be ok
and remember if I helped you say Thanks
Ok first you need to install Bluestacks Cloud in your phone, after u set it up and all, you need to install AWD Launcher and sync it with BC (Bluestacks Cloud), install it in ur computer... and open it, after that B will ask you to set a default launcher, choose AWD, then you have a full home Android... done with that.
Un rar DATA.IMG Maker.rar to desktop
(remember to stop any progress with Task Manager related to Bluestacks, even sidebar.exe)
Next step. navigate to "C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android" and make a backup of SDCard.fs like this SDCard.fs.bak - then rename the SDCard.fs to SDCard.ext3
Next: open Resize SD.bat, as seen in picture inside the folder " DATA.IMG Maker"
Next: check " fine file" and navigate to "C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android" and open SDCard.ext3
In the pic I didn't check "resize file only no rezide2fs", but you have to check it or click it on...
Next: check the "resize file only no rezide2fs" " you can resize it to 100GB ++ if want it and click "Resize File" ... wait till done. PIC
Next: after finishing the process... and drag amd drop on top of "mke2fs.exe" and type " Y " and Enter... wait for it to finish as seen in PIC and then.... just change the extension back to .fs like this SDCard.ext3 to -----> SDCard.fs
Next start the Bluestacks Gadget in start menu... wait for it to load and open AWD launcher .. PIC 6 and PIC 7
Next: you gonna see in top Notification bar a lil SD card... that's what we want! just click it and format your sd card and your [email protected]! PIC 10 thru 13
just click format
deleting...
and done! 10GB SD Card
In logs theres alot of information about what the process does and when, also info on the kernel and staff like that, I think I can edit the HD-Service.exe ... it handles kernel loads and much more... I think can be edited with Restorator 64bits witch I have ....but like I said before I have a 32bit *****ty netbook.. I cant run Restorator.. till next week (getting Alienware) and I can continue the Development of Hacking Bluestacks. I dont know much about Andoid Linux, but I know alot about Windows, I can provide my help on anything, count on me with that
Oh, and ext2explore.exe is an ext2 (I think ext3 too) partition explorer for windows
Hope I helped you all

Removed all the bundled apps from the list this way
Installing a 3rd party launcher gives you about what you'd expect from a launcher
The included rom has no gapps support, you would need to re-include the gapps frameworks/stuff before market will work. Which would require editing the system image or rooting and manually replacing them.
The filesystem is located in
%ProgramData%\BlueStacks\Android
Data.fs is a standard ext img
Root.fs is a ext img that contains
System.sfs which is a squashfs img that contains
System.img which is a ext img that contains system\
There already is a xbin\su which might be a dummy to block it from being rooted.
You likely cant edit the system partition without rebuilding it offline and restarting the vm as squashfs is a readonly format, not to mention that it's a FS in a FS in a FS.

You can do this VERY EASY! but I'll recommend that you first install Launcher Pro or ADW (you can sync the app using the BlueStacks Android app) then set as your default home. Once you have done that you can open Launcher Pro trough the gadget at any time.
Then open Eclipse go to your "Device Manage" tab and under "Android Remote Device" add a new entry like this:
Name: (whatever you want to name it)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
And you are done! BlueStacks is WAYYYYYYYYYY faster to lunch apps that the regular android emulator. I did a small app for testing/debug and it installed/lunch/debug just fine on BlueStacks.

3. Rename Root.fs to Root.fs.bak

With the way root.fs is organized it wouldnt matter if system was remountable in RW mode, squashfs by design is read-only.
Even if you could modify system i wouldnt expect bluestacks to be able to rewrite/rebuild the root.fs
The only way (currently known) would be to rebuild the filesystem offline. If bluestacks supported something like unionfs to overlay on top of it it would be possible to change it, but it would be on an overlay file and not directly modifying rootfs.
If you could make it so bluestacks could mount root.fs and have system\ directly in that instead of inside root.fs/system.sfs/system.img that would make it act like a normal modifying partition.
They might be intentionally using squashfs to make it harder to modify, given that bluestacks is ment for pcs and squashfs is more approporate on resource limited systems it sounds reasonable.

HOW TO TURN THE APP KEY INTO A HOME KEY
ok, got it sorta working.. maybe someone would like to improve on it for me....
So.. in brief the new version asks you to select an app from it's own launcher.. Swapping a file will allow it to go straight into android...
ok, how to do it.
1. Goto....C:\Users\YOUR USER ACCOUNT\AppData\Local\BlueStacks\Launcher folder
2. Rename launcher.html to launcher.html.bak (just to be safe )
3. Open up notepad and paste in the below code
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body onload="refreshUI()">
<script src="js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/slides.min.jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/jscript" language="jscript">
function refreshUI() {window.external.RunApp("", "", "")}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Save this as a new launcher.html and copy it into the launcher folder above..

Wow! This is very usefully...
do you know how to launch the program without to use the desktop gadget?
On my work computer my system administrator set a restriction on gadget usage
... any trick?
I have noticed that it gives you full access to the file system though, I installed root explorer and I can view/edit anything. The only problem is that the mount r/w button doesn't work, which makes sense since it's not actually rooted.
Any one figure out how to get market to work. I pushed the new market, but I forgot that the apk is non modified.
I have been waiting for months for the app to be released so I could really enjoy my Dell touchscreen. Its turned it into a giant tablet.

BlueStacks currently doesn't support binary translation, ergo your error. Fixes to come, one could only assume.
1. I installed ADW launcher EX and
2. Got Market to work, thanks to following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18336028&postcount=7
The apps can be downloaded. It gives error everytime, but press RETRY a couple of times and you will be able to install the app.
I downloaded the Dropbox and installed many apps from there. The apps which are not supported in the above MARKET (its old version of market), failed to open (like Glow Hockey Pro failed but Air Hockey was installed successfully).
Apparently this device is HTC MAGIC or HERO. The android vrsion running is 2.3.4 but all the wallpapers are from 1.5. It doesnt support Flash, and doesnt allow advanced apps to run.
Also I tried to update MARKET but it failed to install.
3. I entered Android Initial Setup mode, finger pressed the Android logo but it didnt go further.
4. I tried to root it with GingerBreak, but dont know how to reboot.

Hi guys
I recently purchase an MID N900 android tab with ice-cream sandwich.
It already has root access.
i didn't have read/write access so i installed remount and applied it to my external memory card.
I also installed rom toolbox lite to increase performance.
After I rebooted my device , the internal memory shows 0 and now i can't install any apps besides the terminal.
I don't know which app caused this issue but i think its remount.
I also can't access recovery mode.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
I don't know if this is of any help but every time i restart the device everything goes back to factory settings. It shows you the guide
when you start your device for the first time.
How can i reset the internal storage back to normal
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot

The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.
To fix it :
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full.
2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal

Hi! I have almost the same problem. I follow your instruction - i've installed emulator but i cant gain access.It says "cp cant create '/system/bin/busybox' : Permission denied.
Do you know how i can gain access over it?
ps My case is the same like yours. I tried to new rom, but after that it appeared. I cant install busybox, i can use emulator only.
Hi
Firstly I think you made a typing error, it's system/XBIN/busybox not system/bin/busybox
Secondly as soon as you open the terminal type 'su' that will give you root access, then type the command in the previous post.
I'm not an expert but I will try to help if I can.
Let me know if it works

When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal

Q88 tablet internal storage 0
Hello,
I have an q88 allwinner tablet and tryed to root it. This went wrong because after rooting it (wich i have done succesfully before) my inetrnal storage says 0. I tryed to get it back with Android Terminal Emulator. When i installed it (trough a sd card) i tryed to give the command su like you sayed. The only thing i get is Permission Denied.
Please help how toi get my storage back.
THANKS
I just wanted to say thank you, had to join the site lol.
model # a13mid - Android os 4.0.4 - Baseband 4.0.15 - kernal 3.0.8+ - build is nuclear
After buying my cheapy tablet , I went install crazy and ended up with a stinky 0.0mb of space. Having spent countless hours of how to increase the memory with an sd card I found your guide.The guide was spot on and helped me out tons, lol even the reboot comment . Thank you again, and I hope this helps other people.
Special thanks

first of all jeewa19... U R THE MAN!!!!!! Thx!!!
I had the same problem and I couldn't install anything... I fixed it by downloading a root explorer apk, open comand promt with adb and stuff,copy the apk to the same folder as adb, and type:
adb push (appsName).apk /system/app
from that point on, I just did what jeewa19 said!!!

Fixing 0 bytes on internal storage on tablet
1. First Install root explorer! (Pro Much Better)
I found a solution, The problem was I rooted my tab then internal storage crashed.
To fix it :
1. Install Root explorer , this app can be installed even if storage shows full, it will directly install on your sd card or external storage .(its more easier if you download it to your pc then transfer it to your sd card
open root explorer find or copy /system/xbin/busybox then pastethis folder to /system/bin
2. Before you copy the /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, make sure or check the /system/bin is set to rw, if the permission of the folder is ro ( read only)set it to rw(read/write) for you to able to copy those files, it is needed to follow this steps for you to paste /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal.. it is important to read and analyze this steps carefully, I consumed 2 hours to solve this problem. But worth it !!
