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)
direct link: http://www.mediafire.com/?b83cel02g8gr6hr
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
I've removed the original Google Maps 5.2.1 from Google, But it still won't install!!

This worked for me:
Uninstall original maps with titanium backup, then copy maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app with root explorer or similar. do not install

You'll need root as the Map file is in system (no access to it without root)
Hi there. In case that you run into this problem of having Google Search but no Google Now here is how I fix it.
This is a problem that I have being having for quite sometimes and is back in N5. Just a little background, I have a GS4 and my Google now is working there perfectly. But only after some tweaking. When ever I installed a new rom, if I forgot to setup Google Now (running for the first time) right after installation, and the application gets an update I loose the Google now option in search setting and Google Search (aparently after version 2.6 and up), in Google Setting application. And no Google Now cards or anything just a plain search bar with the option of voice search with the microphone. Normally I will get it to work by clearing data on the Google Search application and uninstalling updates. After that, running Google Search will bring the Google Now Setup and I will finish it. After Google Now setup I can update Google Search and have Google Now working perfectly.
In my N5 since Google Search is part of the system and launcher clearing Data on the application don't help also there is no uninstall updates option. Since I rooted my N5 here is the way I fix it. Installed a additional Launcher because the N5 launcher does not work at all without Google Search application. Any launcher you want will do, if you don't do this you may be left in the dark with no home screen or application drawer so Don't Skip This Step. Get your hand in an old Google Search ApK (Velvet.Apk) preferably 2.6 version, also get your hand in the New Velvet Apk version 3.1.8. With Titanium backup uninstall Google Search 3.* that comes in your N5. Install the old version of Velvet Apk and run it. Google Now setup process should come up. finish it. You will probably get a Stop Working Application error. Now install the Velvet.apk 3.1.8 (latest). You may get 1 or 2 more Stop Working Application error from the Google Search application but Google Now should show up and running in your launcher and through the other ways to access it. Reinstall the Home.apk file
Hope this help anyone that has this problems as I use to do.

Try removing or maybe better renaming (changing the .apk extension part) the Velvet Apk from the System folder using any root capable filemanager. It may works.

Actually mine was giving me a lot of problems, Google Search was foreclosing and I was not getting results. I did almost the same procedure except that I updated from the 2.6 version to the 2.8 version through Play Store. That way Google Now Works and Google Search. If I upgrade to the 3.0 version pf Google Search it star to foreclose again. If I stay in the 2.8 version everything works except the Launcher. So if the only thing that you are missing is the Ok Google you are in better shape than me. I am using Nova launcher and kept the 2.8 version. I will still experiment with few Ideas to see if I get it to work perfectly.

Google store says my phone isn't compatible.
Are you rooted?
Is your phone rooted? It's the only way this will work.
Take this apk, use a root file explorer (I like solid explorer) and copy it to root/system/priv-app. Then edit the read/write permissions ( I usually enable everything).
You can also use link2sd to make the apk a system app.
Then just reboot your phone and you should be good to go.
You'll have to go to apps, settings, pick defaults, and choose it as the dialer.
Also, if you are rooted, you can then delete the stock dialer, but be careful, you might delete the wrong thing and then no phone for you. (I had that issue, but a kind forum member was able to get me the missing apk)
If somehow it DOES get messed up, you'll have to reflash via dload, or get the correct apks and place them on priv-app (again, if you're rooted)
thanks for the reply.. i don't want to root my phone though..

yeah same here...
Not sure how the compatibility check works..
Google has published these contacts and Phone / dialer app in play store. but its not installable in all phones..
i followed another thread..
and installed google contacts sync apk, (gave it all permissions) then contacts apk and then dialer apk, this way i am able to get the dialer app installed (but its version 3.x only, other versions i couldn't get install),
Now i got the Dialer icon (blue) one it opens the regular dialer interface. but when i make call the interface goes to Honor 8 dialer app interface.. not sure how this works..

I was looking for a higher version number of Google Dialer that could be compatible with the Honor 8.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only version compatible: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...71529-nonnexus-android-apk-download/download/
I've used this very same version on my Moto X Pure.

This is best compatible with AOSP ROMs.
Wasn't the first question about installing Google Dialer on an Honor 8? It was even stated that they tried to sideload multiple different versions as well... from APK Mirror... the same place I shared the link from. I merely wanted to state that the version I linked to is the last version that I know personally works on phones that aren't Nexus/Pixel. All you can do is try it or not. It works. Just download, install normally, set it to default app.
The dialer installs just fine on the honor 8. I'm running it right now. There's a few threads about how to do it correctly here on XDA. First rule, search before asking.

This isn't a new thread - it's months old. Someone just resurrected it by adding a new comment. And yes, the app can be side loaded onto the Honor 8, but it will only be the dialer and contact list UI. The in call UI will remain stock and caller id will not work.
Results with rooted devices may vary though.

Are you on Pure Nexus, by chance? I know you're not stock since you mentioned 7.1.2. If you're using that ROM, in the download section underneath the ROM and gapps, there's a camera fix zip and you need to flash that as well. @GizmoTheGreen

Visual Voicemail is broken on the Google dialer, at least on T-Mobile. Both magisk and non-magisk version for me.
Have to use default OnePlus dialer for now. At least it has an option for swipe up to answer now.

Voicemail is the only thing not working for me. New voicemails don't even show in the tab within the dialer for some reason.
When I tried the magisk module I had no dialer screen, I mean no interface when calling or receiving a call. Any ideas?
Does anyone know why exactly the Google Dialer won't just install normally on our device? Originally I thought it was because the existing dialer was the same package name but that actually doesn't seem to be the case. I'd be interested to know what the actual reason is.

Mostly the reason behind this is our phone is not having Android one and it doesn't belong to Google.
any google phone does not work properly on my oneplus6 with oos5.1.8,
substratum cannot apply black theme !!
but the same substratum theme can easily applied on my nexus6 with AOSP 8.1.
I miss features of the Google Dialer but the default theme for it is so very opposite to the system theme that is just... It was so easy to set the system profile to a certain colour palette, the clash in style just makes the Google Dialer unusable for me!

Actually I did this and ever since, apps are not showing up in the installed apps list. They are installed, but I have to find them manually. If they have an update, it won't show in the update tab in play store, but they can be update, and they will show in the installed apps after the update.
Guys I found this working method, now I can update google dialer via play store and no bugs yet.
