i had that same problem but solved it by uninstalling google maps then installing it from the market

I installed it without any problems. If you have issues installing the 4.4.0 update, first uninstall Google Maps and then install it from the Market application.

Installed just fine for me on my Desire using the update option from the market.

yeah same here no issues but in order for places to showup in programs u need to restart.

I noticed lattitude has also made an appearance on the menu too.
I think they need to update the Places app though. By clicking on "Gas Stations", i am given results for companies that sell bottled gas, not petrol or diesel. By clicking on ATMs, i am given a recovery company 20 miles from me, not cash machines.

I had no problems installing on Froyo/Sense MCR6.

Why I don't see the Places app?
Where to get it?
I updated the Maps to 4. 4. 0...

Turn the phone off and on again then check the menu and "Places" will be listed in with the rest of your apps.

Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

attached to the bottom of my first post

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here

Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway

Anyone tried this?

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results

what's the MACOSX folder?

No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

yeah ofcourse, I just asked

Android security. Personal files safe?

Hi guys. Lately I seem to be going paranoid, so here is a question for you all. How safe are my personal files, pictures, keepass databases etc if they are located on the sd card of my desire which is always connected to the internet? Could someone hack into my phone and download them?
Thanks for your time.

The answer is no. To get hacked you have to be stupid and purposefully do it or get a virus on your phone.

They should not be able to do that unless u somehow got a virus onto your phone.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks for the responses guys! The question that begs to be asked now, is what anti-virus / anti-trojan you would recommend?
Is it avgfree or lookout? Or is there some other choice?
Thanks once again!

Fizzerr is in fact correct. As long as you don't install any suspicious applications, that specifically have the permissions to access your SDcard and are specifically programmed to act as a virus and upload your data to the application author, then nothing could go wrong.

Hulu App: G2 CM7

How do I get this app to work on my G2? I'm rooted and running CM7 2.3.7. I have an identical G2 with the same program on it running the same mod and hulu works on it. I would be using that phone but the volume button is broken so I had to root this one I have now to replace it. I don't understand why it runs on a rooted G2 before but doesn't on this new one I have. The only difference I see when I go to "About Phone" is the Baseband Version.
The baseband version on the one that works is 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
The baseband version on the one that doesn't work is 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Is this a factor?
Is there a patch? A zip file of some sort or a work around Cyan has found to fix this?

What do you mean "work"? Are you not able to install it or run the app or watch shows? If you can't watch shows, it's probably because you need to have subscribed to Hulu Plus and then logged into the app.

In their defense, you didn't actually specify what was/wasn't happening; they were just trying to get intput in order to help you narrow down the problem/solution.

WOW ... sorry ... I don't know what I said but I didn't mean to offend you.
I've been looking around and there doesn't really seem to be a clear answer for those peoples issues with Hulu Plus.
One of the simplest fixes appears to be turning off any Ad-Block apps you have running. Make sure after you turned that app off that you reboot your phone at least once to make sure that the app is turned off.
A lot of the other fixes for Hulu appear to only be to play it through the browser.

[Q] Google now doesn't answer.

Has someone found a solution to let Google Now answer on your question? It just search for an answer on google. (Example: What time is it?)
I have already read the posts for other devices and none of the answers is working for me. I have ARHD 13.0 Jelly Bean Rom from mike1986 on my HTC One X.
(It can be that my English is not always correct.)

Yes, I can ask a question and Google Now put the question on Google and push on search. It doesn't answer the question like I have seen in several YouTube videos.

Your language must be set to US English, but it doesn't matter where you are.
Also, you have to phase your questions with a somewhat specific syntax. Here is a good video showing how:

I do not have those cards in Google Now neither it showed me "I am in" option. When i long press home button it only offers Web voice search, nothing more. Am I doing something wrong?
