Nope. It will not work (saying without checking it).
But you can always backup the things and check anything.

Tip how make Gmaps usable
anyone got an issue with new gmaps on CM7 stable or nightly. The best way we can do is delete data and uninstal gmaps ten download attached apk and instal it. (then don't upgrade) leave at this version.
Is the older version of Gmaps 5.0 but works well on CM7 or other Gbreed roms.
Your choice to use the newest one with font issue and laggy or use older without all features that have new version but work smooth and fonts are clear.
I hope that help some users.
Sorry for my bad english.
Good info really.
Font is very clear and even the scrolling is very good. This should be the temporary option for those who worry about Google maps.

Thank you very much, you're a life saver.
I use google maps on a daily basis.
Using the old version of the maps does it. Thanks for the suggestion and attached file.

What features is lost in this version compared with new one? Is map cache available in this version?
Did anyone check the maps font issue in 2.2 sense custom roms. I think it was there in sense roms too. Just checked a sense rom.
Maps font issue maybe not the issue with cm7 as everyone is thinking.

I reinstalled the stock rom and am on the latest maps and I don't have any issues with the fonts.

The best way to make Gmaps clear ans usefull on CM7 is faind a way how we can extract Gmaps from stock rom and create .APK
If anyone can do this Gmaps will work well on newest version
the difference name of file is on CM 7 5.6.0 gmm-android-google on 2.2 stock is 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc probably if we got 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc then if we update to newest version we got a tweaked version by htc to work well on low resolution screens.
I'm interesting the problem occurs in othert low res android device like motorola flipout and some others

Answering my own question: no, this gmaps doesn't have map cache. Its too old.
I think that the problem with the fonts is related with 3D buildings on maps. Maybe this is the cause of lags on scroll, too.
I dont need 3D buildings, because I dont see any reason to it, but map cache is important to me. I'll try to find an intermediate version with cache and without 3d, and lets see...
Edit: My bad. 5.0 already have 3d buildings and cache also. Maybe its related with screen size.
I tried to install the older version of google maps but I don't manage to make it work. After I installed it the application stopped unexpectedly.
What can I do ?
EDIT:
I solved it, something strange (at least for me) happened, I was unable to uninstall the previous version 5.8 even with root uninstaller. I then browse with file manager in system/app and try to delete the map file but some problem can't delete it. Then I installed Titanium Backup and converted google maps into an app, moved it to SD and then uninstall it with success. I install the 5.0 and now I have a smooth app
maybe this will help somebody.

I have already tried this app:
1) I don't know what to modify
2) If I modify an entry when i reboot the phone the modify is lost
Try loading the CM7 Google Apps over the top.
I have to install gapps from CM7 upon gapps that I have already installed?
Why?
Hello, I am new to this so have few things to ask more experienced users.
1. I have Rom manager. I got Premium version (the same version 5.0.0.6) but when I tried to install it I get a message 'cannot install'.
2. I would like to replace the default messaging app in Cyanogen to be Handcent SMS. How to do this?
3. What app do you suggest for finding your phone if lost and erasing and locking it? In the stock rom-s by At&t and HTC there was one in HTC sense.
4. What other good roms are there which are stable next to Cyanogen?
Thank you. As I said I am new and eager to learn ;-).
Most cyanogen variants like absolution and black ice are stable and have there own tool sets I prefer them to standard cyanogen install...most sense are stable its trial and error dude. You can theme pretty much all of them anyway. Ics is still in development..most of it's working sweet. As for SMS you just get it from the market I thought. I don't personally use it..to many opitions haha. A lot of things you lose from sense roms you'll find in third party apps anyways

1. Did you actually buy the premium version of did you download it from somewhere?
2. Download Handcent sms. Open the ROM.zip and navigate to /system/app. Place the handcent.apk in that folder and delete the stock sms apk. Close the window, place the ROM.zip into the root of your sd card and flash through recovery. Always do a wipe/format before flashing a new ROM.

Hello all,
I'm currently running RENOVATE 8.0.0 on my HoX. Basicly outdated in using roms.
How can i add an app (world clock) to it during or after installing?
I tried dropping the apk in system/apps and data/apps before install.
Also tried running the apk after install with es file manager however it just says "app not installed" after clicking install.
It's part of sense and i have RENOVATE installed as nosense w/ nova and the weather + camera app work fine.
also checked the Revolution hd rom and they have the worldclock app working fine with nosense nova.
I'm probably overlooking something simple, any help is much appreciated as i would like to edit the custom roms a bit more.
