[Q] Google Maps 5.0 for Xperia X10 Mini Pro

Hi Guys,
I have updated my X10 Mini Pro with Google Maps 5.0, it updated fine without any errors whatsoever... but the problem is the Compass Mode button that you can tap above doesn't show. there's no bar above the map (see attachment).
I dont really care about the 3D thing, I just need the Compass Mode feature so the map would automatically rotate and follow the orientation im facing based on the built in compass.
Anyone knows the solution?
thanks!!

GMM5.0 runs in 2D/raster mode on most devices. Try this version to enable 3D/vector mode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9868137#post9868137

Wow thanks man! Ill be trying this one out later. I have a few questions:
1) I don't need my phone to be rooted, right?
2) Im thinking of uninstalling the GMM 5.0 update that I have to bring it back to the stock GMM first, before I install your version of GMM, is that good?
3) Your version is also uninstallable without taking out the stock GMM, right? (just in case it doesn't work on my X10 Mini Pro)
Thanks!

If you don't have a root and original GMM is a system app (it was installed by default), then unfortunately you won't be able to install above file, sorry.

on second thought, if i root my phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the GMM systam app, would that allow me to install your modified GMM 5.0?

Yes, if you uninstall original GMM, then you should be able to install above modded GMM. And you should not have any problem with uninstalling it later. People sometimes has problems, cause they install modded GMM as system app - they copy it to /system/app instead of installing it like any other app.

[APP] Market 3.3.11

Hi All,
Android Police have posted the new Market version 3.3.11!
Quote:
It appears an update to the Android Market is now being pushed out to handsets, and we've got the .apk file for you right now. Warning: this updated Market does not seem to work very well on Honeycomb tablets, there appears to be a number of glitches.
Download Android Market 3.3.11:
mirror 1
mirror 2
Note: Root is not required.
Note: If the Market starts force closing, just open Settings > Applications > Manage > Market, and clear data.
What's changed? So far, we've found:
New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, a la Honeycomb)
Smaller font
New app drawer icon
Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
Star rating chart on app pages
Minor UI tweaks
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...te-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more/

by installing this, it asks to replace the system app - and when i choose YES - it tries to install and then says "couldnt install app".

What phone do you have? I installed it the same way and it installed fine for me.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Phone: HTC Magic 32B White
with GB 2.3.7 DS rom on it
and I do have currently market version 3.2.0 installed

I am having the same issue.
Tried installing manualy by opening the .apk, install failed.
Tried clearing data and then replacing Vending.apk in system/app, rebooted and the market starts to force close immidiatly :/ really strange. Will stick with 3.2.0 till someone comes with a fix for this

Great to see that they fixed the limited number of displayed search results.

Same with me- tried 'regular' installing, wiping cache/data and uninstall previous market with TiB, and also moving as 'vending.apk' to system/app + rebooting- no go on none of them...

good to see, that I am not the only one with this issue.

if you have issue installing over 3.2.0:
- delete /system/app/vending.apk
- download Market 3.1.5.apk
- rename it to Vending.apk and copy to /system/app/
- Launch Market Accept rules and quit Market
- Click on Market-3.3.11.apk
Voilà

i could solve it via another way.
settings --> apps -> manage apps --> market --> uninstall updates.
then - reinstalling market 3.3.11
issue solved!

Very unusual but after I istalled this, I cannot see any games. No result of all of thr games on the market

Is anyone seeing maps in their list of installed apps? Mine dissapeared from my installed apps, but if I search for maps, it still shows that it's installed. I have tried a few different nandroid backups, and roms and maps always disappears from my installed apps list after I update the market. I cleared data on the market too.

Yeah I tried that and the app I install gets added to the list, but maps still doesn't appear. Like I said though, if I search for maps in the market it says that it's installed.

thank u worked fine in my x10..

I get worse results. an example is handcent sms. not listed anywhere so removal isn't an option plus forcing attachment through titanium doesn't work

Stock news & weather widget

I recently switched to Crash V6 XXLRG 4.0.4 ROm which is absolutely superb
The only thing I miss is the stock Samsung 4 x 1 news & weather widget.
Having saved it from a previous LQ2 stock ROM, I have reinstalled and can use the associated app but the widget itself did not install.
Is there any way of being able to install it?
Thanks in advance...

Hi - I think so in so far as I used the install app function on CWM and clicked yes when the blurb came up about it being a system app and did I want to replace it...

Thanks for taking the trouble to upload this Dr. Ketan - I installed it but unfortunately no change; it works as an app but no 4 x 1 widget!

Thanks Dr Ketan & afilopou - finally worked out how to do this and have moved it to the system app folder, and changed the permission to the same as all the other apps in the folder, namely -rw-r-r-- but widget still does not appear in the add to home screen widget gallery ...
Am I doing something wrong?
I would welcome any other suggestions!

You did it correctly.
And you need to reboot
another thing are you sure you are not using autostart or same application and you have disable to load this appl on boot? this also cause not to display on widget list.

2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back!
I have updated CRASH to v7, widget now installed, however neither the widget or app will actually work - I get an error message saying "network error - try again later" which means I can't acess any news at all!
NB. Wif/data/downloads are working for everything else
There must be a way of rectifying this?!

I don't get package installer error I get package conflicts with a package with the same name

Don't work with me

not working for internet browser

Where is the apk link ?

Or install another launcher like Nova launcher, make it the default launcher.
After that install the S8 launcher from within Nova launcher.
The S8 launcher and hello Bixby both install with no errors at all if you do this.
After that change the default launcher back to TouchWiz home then restart.
No need to put apps on the desktop and quickly install them after the restart.
If you then find you don't want to use Nova any more just uninstall it.
Job done.

still no work deodex>odex apk won't be installed for telecom.apk

Yeah that does not work either. I've been running Nova launcher prime and trying to install. PACKAGE CONFLICTS WITH ANOTHER WITH SAME NAME. Every time. Tried all the tricks.

nothing works with me either. Does somebody have any other solution for this? Many Thanks

I tried every trick but the installation still fails. Turned wifi off, tried offline mode, disabled every security check, using shortcut, wiping cache, used nova... I'm using the latest Nougat with April security updates. Maybe this is the reason? Does anyone have another solution? (no-root, no data wipe)

I had the same error of conflict with the packages, this happened to me when I update to the room of Uruguay with build date Mon, 17 Apr 2017 and security patch date 2017-04-01, what I did was to install all the S8 applications before putting my Google account and Samsung at the beginning after the factory reset, I had already installed some S8 applications without problem, and I had forgotten some of them, after that, I put my accounts from Google and Samsung from there I started to give error,I hope this help you, greetings from Mexico.

I wonder if it would work by simply removing your existing Google account temporarily, install some apps, then add the same Google account back in?
Also, this adb install command with some option switches supposed to bypass app version issues, so if somebody wants to try it, report back please.
It would either work or fail, but it won't break anything on the phone.
adb install -d -r -t AppName.apk

adb install doesn´t work

Settings app stopping again and again.

Hi everyone.
Running stock OP6 latest update.
Installed settings app from apk mirror and now the same won't open up instead keeps stopping again and again.
Since it won't open I can't uninstall it.
Anyone has a clue what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit. Same happening with dialer and contacts app.
Both updated through apk mirror.
Although Camera, Gallery and Files app work perfectly fine.
Anyone with an answer?
How to revert back to previous app version?
Edit : Finally had to reset my device and things settled. Although all my data is gone.
I suppose just too bad for me.
But I'm facing a pesky issue.
The files app shows no data but my gallery is picking up old garbage even after wiping the device clean. (Foolish of me not backing up the data)
PS I used the hard reset if anyone's wondering using the device's stock recovery.
I'll share the screenshot of the same..
Kindly suggest what's wrong with this..

i think u can uninstall app from the app drawer. long press the settings icon , and click uninstall if the options is available. if it isn't , u can re flash the whole rom by dirty flashing it. it shouldn't wipe the data.

As Azhar_Fahry mentioned, you can uninstall an app / app update from app drawer.
1. Tap and hold to get the options
2 (if OP launcer is updated), drag the icon to top (from app drawer) and you can select app info and then uninstall updates.
Alternatively,
You can install Link2SD and uninstall app / app updates from there.

Again system apps can't be uninstalled normally.
Secondly I'm not rooted to used link2SD.
I think need to dirty flash my phone.

System apps cannot be uninstalled if not rooted, but you can uninstall updates installed from play store or any external source. (You can reset the system app(s) to Rom default)
Attaching Scrrenshots - Follow from 1-end, click OK at the end. ( I am showing example of gmail, you can use it for any other systrm app too)
Naming screenshots 1-2-3-4-5 according to steps.

Uninstall updates to the settings app maybe. But if not dirty flashing the ROM will work
