Hey Guys,
I have Darkyy's ROM and it seems the market doesn't want me to download the new update of Google Maps, anyone can post the apk for us ?
Thanks.
EDIT : Well, in fact it downloaded it, here are the maps.apk and streetview.apk, dunno if there is more needed. The maps.apk alone may work tho.
Push it via adb to system\app
EDIT2 : Now fixed

You have to push it via ADB (I think something like root explorer would work too), you can't just install it like any other app.

Always happens when you try to download an attachment from xda from the browser on the SGS.
Mine updated fine from the Market, but i can't get 3D to work or rotation, do the 2 finger swipe and nothing shows. Anyone else getting this?
Mine didn't work for a while then suddenly did. Make sure you are in a compatible city.

And you need to zoom in quite a bit...
Hey guys , i'm on Darky's 5.5 and the update got installed just fine.
Make sure you are looking at one of the supported city's to view buildings in 3d , you aldo need to be close enough for 3D to trigger.
Other than that , great update , maps load waaay faster!
somethings wring with update
I'm having problems though. Galaxy S i9000 2.1 stock ROM not showing any update in the market. What could be wrong ? I just go to the market and it's not there. Also any mobile google sites with links or QR are not helping me.
I have Samsing preinstalled maps, do they update somehow different or also through the market ?
Eeerm yeah still not working over here, i searched for new york empire state building, zoomed in fully and tried the 2 finger gesture to enable 3D, nowt.
if anyone have a problem with installation procedure...
and don`t know what push through Abd means...
just rename the file that you downloaded to Maps.apk and just instal it
it will work

To bring back an old thread from the dead... what version are you guys using? I've tried 1.56 milestone 1.56 wvga, and the Swype_1.60.36.8214 WVGA as well. None work, can someone point me in the right direction? I don't need the file, just need to know which version is compatible.
PS - I haven't installed these but just put it into the app folder on the SD card. Does it make any difference?

OK, at first I threw the .apk into the apps folder and that didn't work. Swype would always show a 'force close' error. Tried again, this time installing Swype. It installs, but once you type, it stops working, saying the trial has ended...
Edit: Nevermind, finally got one that works. If someone needs help, feel free to PM me.
Key moments:
(1)Install the file rather than dropping the app OTA rather than dropping it into your android start-up
(2)Find a non-expiring version.

I Just update Galaxy S to Froyo via Reg Hack,but i found the Ocean Waves LiveWallpaper missing, can i install the lovely Ocean Waves LW on froyo ? how?
thanks
Im missing the autum leaves wallpaper any help?

I do not understand why they delete things that have been good?
Any way to get the live wallpaper from 2.1 back?
True, there appears to be a few missing LWPs...
I believe it should be possible to get them back, as I've seen other threads taking LWPs from captivate (or was it vibrant, cant remember) for our i9000. I cbf trying to figure it out atm though.
Yeah it's very strange that they remove good things in new firmwares 0_0
For the Ocean waves wallpaper google this: ocean-waves-415. You can simply download it in the phone memory and than install.
I tried 2-3 other apk but this is the only one working.

the easy way to get livewallpaper with doc 7.6.2
JPA & JPO V7 Base to Medium Package (android developpers)
JPA & JPO V7 Base to Full Package (android developpers)
extract both of them
in fact if you install them they are ignored and nothing is installed, but if you extract and copy the .apk into the /system/app folder they work very well
copy the required apk into system/app
and here you go you have em all, including installation of other livewall papers, like I have purchased Aquarium.

the original ocean wave live wallpaper missing from froyo update
enjoy.
To install, just download it to your phone, and browse to the file using a file manager app like "My Files" (This is preinstalled on your phone!) Or "EStrong File Manager". Open the file. Done.
Hahahh now its work for me now....do you have the autmn leaves fall

Thanks, but the ocean waves doesn't render over the full size of the screen in landscape mode. Tested with a few different doc ROMs. I feel like a bit of a whiner, but that LWP has actually managed to convert a few iPhone users, looks so cool.
Not surprised. Touchwiz was never meant to have landscape mode.
But for me its ok

I love this magazine and I'm paid subscriber, and I last night I upgraded my custom ROM to ICS 4.0.3 and I'm getting 'this app is not compatible with this device' error.
I have a SG2 running a custom rom.
Any pointers?
Thanks guys!
Where are you getting the error message? From market download?
Usually, most of the apps are running well on ICS. So, if you have an app already downloaded or backed up, try to install the app using backup.
If you don't have any backup, only the way would be going back to previous rom and download the app, backup and coming back to ICS. Try install the app from backup.
My one more question is, did you change the lcd density?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried installing this app by clicking directly on their website, which in turn sent me to the android market and at the top it says 'this app is not compatible with your device'
Unfortunlally I didn't back up any apps.
And no, I didn't change the lcs density, to be honest I dont even know how to do it, lol.
should I actually be doing that?
Is this a mobile echnomist lite?
I was able to download from my ICS FC15 Rom.
[update] never mind. I found the app also from their website and linked to google market.
It seems like only the way would be going back to GB (if you were able to download from there), and save the app. Then comes back to FC15 again to manually install the app.
Ohhh that's a pain in the a.......
maybe I could download the apk from a a website and try it that way?
I DO not recommend but if you can, that would be easiest way until ICS is formally supported.
For me, it worked like a charm in that way.
Now I'm removing the app from my phone.
I have the file, I think it will work for anyone that did not the backup
here it is
edit, I have to have more than 10 post to share a link, I post it on the economist forum ...
Come on Economist!
You would think for $100 a year they could provide a recent app. Think they got their heads shoved up their ipads.
I used airdroid to download the apk from my phone and then upload it back to the new tablet, worked like a charm. However, the app IS laggy with jellybean, definitely something needs fixing, scrolling is very jerky.

Hi there
As you know, S Voice from SGS III isn`t working on any other device because of checking device model. The bad solution is to mod your build.prop to make android think you are using SGS III, but it can cause incorrect work in some apps.
What I have Done
I have decompiled SVoice.apk, changed all checkings of device model to make app think it is SGS III, built and signed new apk.
So now all you have to do is:
1. Delete old S Voice
2. Revert your build.prop to stock, if you have modded it
3. Install new apk (as usual app) from Google Drive or Mediafire
Issues:
Few actions aren`t working because of the incompatibility with some SGS III features.
Shortly, some apps or actions are not opening because S Voice can`t find Samsung`s Clock/Calendar/etc. It can be fixed only if these apps are ported to our devices.
Tested on my AOKP Galaxy S I with SGS III Addon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669190)
Please, test it on other devices and write me, if app doesn`t work
will all features be fixed in the future or is this a final app for us? anyway thanks for not messing the build.prop
will it install to internal SD?
Install as NORMAL apk, just launch it EDIT: it installs to internal SD
I can`t promise to fix everything, but i`ll try to fix some features
please upload on mediafire
Thank you for that...
I'm running 5.5 dark night and I installed the modified s-voice apk file you provided.
The application runs fine, however, I can't get some functionalities to work. For example, talkback don't work. Also, saying things like Hello, or tell me a joke doesn't work; only straight-forward commands...
Moreover, any hopes on getting the application working with double-tabbing?

I dont know what you guys think about the new maps, but I think it sux.. It's slower,uglier, and especially the street view with compass mode became slow and choppy. It was perfect,and now it's not enjoyable. So I decided to go back to a previous version,now it works perfectly, here it is.
cheers
UPDATE: I found this thread useful, especially for those who don't have root access on their phone. You can install this modded apk as a regular app, no need to disable the new maps and no need to have root. You can use old maps and new maps simultaneously. Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49889624

Not being rooted limits your options (a nice way to say you're dead in the water). On my tablet, the option to uninstall updates and deactivate the maps app wasn't available so what i did was cut the maps 7 apk out of /system/app and moved it to the SD card. Then copied this apk into /system/app and rebooted. The maps icon wasn't in the app drawer so i though it didn't installed but for some reason i went to the market (play store) and there was an option to "activate" it under "my apps". When i went back to the app drawer, both maps and navigation was there now.
It's no guaranty this would work on 4.3 (i'm on 4.2.2) but by not being rooted, you can't even try. Do a little more searching, i found 2 apk's in different places on the web, it just happens i tried this on first and it worked.
Sorry.
it should work on 4.3 , yes, it also works on 4.4 kitkat (nexus 5), I tested it myself. Root is needed, though, I dont know how to install it without root..
good morning
it seems like a problem on JB 4.3 because I couldn't write a file to the /system/app destination. es file manager replies me that there are not the proper access rights to write a file. If I try to install 6.14 from a different location, the installation process starts proper with questions about access rights on my device, then it stops with "x - not installed".
With JB 4.2. ist was simple. I just deinstalled the update to 7.x then the original 6.x version was available. I hope anyone have a suggestion for me

It just downed on me that you may not be rooted since you are using Es File manager. But if you are rooted use RootExplorer to copy the file.
ok i did understand, no way without rooting?

I appreciate the APK (and the sentiment about google maps 7). Sadly, I didn't succeed in installing this. I removed GMS_Maps.apk (and the odex - did I need to move that too?) and put them on the SD card. Then put the apk in the /system/apps directory. After rebooting, the original maps 7 still was there, and no sign of 6.14.4 ...
Any suggestions? I'm on an SIII 4.3 (MK3 sprint build) rooted stock.
