Alright, since my post was deleted in the Oxygen Thread regarding Navigation Software, i'll ask this here: Are there any Navigation Packages that are currently working on Oxygen (or Gingerbread as a whole) ?
I looked everywhere and could not find a conclusive answer.
Post your personal experiences if you would.
As in the satnav app? That comes with Google Maps.
Igo, Ndrive

You have to pay for those though don't you?
Google is your friend. Search hard and be patient.
I'm on Gingervillian 0.8 and using iGo with Australia maps. No problems so far. Can't comment on other roms.

I currently do not have unlimited data coverage, therefore Google Maps Nav is out of the question.
I'll see if I can try the packages mentioned so far, but i'm still open to suggestions
@friedkimchi
I can't find iGo on the Android Market, seems only "business clients" have access to it, whatever that means.
What about Ndrive or Sygic?

you have to pay for navigon as well.
but they announced, that the support for 2.3 will come soon, see http://www.navigon.com/portal/int/uebernavigon/presse/artikel/110215_AndroidUpdate_MWC2011.html
so for now, we have to wait for navigon to release the update
i am using brutmod maps with oxygen 2.0 without any problems. via wifi you can download the map tiles for the app to cache before you travel.

thank you, guess I can switch to Gingerbread after all and update Navigon at a later date... even though I have to compromise and use my Dad's shoddy SatNav from Falk (never get yourself one of these).

im using co-pilot premium which works fine on mine, sometimes closes immediately but upon re-opening it is fine
my copilot 8 works fine for me.
I had issue with Navigon 4 which they refunded me because it wasn't yet compatible with ICS.
Route 66 recetly released on market.
I'll be trying it later today

I've got Nav Free on mine, not used it yet but started it up to see if it will run and it found my location no problem and seems to be working ok. Like i say though i haven't actually used it so you may find probems i haven't if you do use it.

Google doesn't have Navigation. It is avalible only for USA and few other countrys also it spend your data and this can be problem if you have limited data plan (100MB) like me. 100Mb is more than enought for me because in office&home and other places I use WiFi...

No "travlel via" or "avoid road" or "alternative route" options. It always tries to put me on M60 around junction 9 during rush hour. It's a no go zone at this time and there is no way to tell it to your google navigator.

Hi,
I just installed "NAVFREE".
I did not had a chance to proper test it just for a few miles. it is working but 'i did not liked the roots it took. just a bit of extra miles when rooting.
hope navigon will make a good version for SGN.
Navfree isn't great.. told me to take the 4th exit on a couple of roundabouts that only have 3 exits, and I needed the second :/

Try the free ones from MapQuest or Waze.
If you are following Sygic official tweeter, they said Sygic 4.0 will be released before the end of the year. It supports ICS.
In fact, you can go to their support forum to try the beta version.
I am using 3.0 version 11.2.2, it is a very good app. It has problem in the past with stability, but the latest version fixed it. Tested last weekend with 300 km driving, flawless.
Cant wait their ICS version!
Hi XDA,
I'm currently running latest Flinny CM10 test build (125), and an issue I've had for a while is that even when the phone is locked, but screen is on, I can pull down the notification bar and do actions. Is this normal? Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be switched off? I am using Apex launcher.
Cheers.
As far as I know this is a standard behavior since android 4.0 (ICS). There is no settings to disable it.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong
EDIT: If you have enabled screen security (pattern, PIN, password) you should not be able to pull down the notification bar. You should be able to pull it down only with slide lock.
I enabled a simple gesture unlock and yes now I can't pull down the notification bar.
It still seems strange that this is normal behaviour.
Thanks heaps!
yup... That's normal...
I also face some issue which is the ROM could not connect to external gps device... I think that's issue exist in CM10 since have same issue with galaxy smtd...
Yeah I don't have working orientation, light or gyro sensors still. It seems like some people have this problem and others don't depending on hardware revision.

I love this ROM, everything I generally use on a regular basis works fine. My only real problem is this ROM is a serious power drain, within an hour of being unplugged in the morning I have already lost 10% of the battery, by mid afternoon I am forced to plug the phone back in, this is something of an issue as I work at hospitals and plugging appliances into the mains is a violation of health and safety regulations, but I need my phone so I do what ya gotta do. Is there any way to reduce the drain from this ROM as I am fairly sure it is not any applications I have installed causing it, as none are running in the background when I check running apps.
plug it in to a computer with a logcat running, see what is going on that way. or if you aren't able to sit in front of a computer for a while watchdog is a nice app for this (keep in mind it should be for testing basis and be removed later as it to will always be running in the background)

evernote makes phone slow
I am using this rom (build 124) and I have and after restoring all my apps it became really slow. After some try/error I found that uninstalling some apps solved the problem. After that I started installing my apps again one by one and I found installing evernote make the phone near unusable.
Anybody is experiencing this? it also happen if I install "camera 360".
I am running build 127 of this ROM which definitely seems faster than build 126 which was the first one I tried and seems to be quick enough to actually use it most of the time.
When things do go slow it seems to be when switching to a new app and seems more likely to happen is the new or old app is big.
Regarding more apps slowing things down I wonder if it is actually more widgets and background services. If this is, as I suspect, do to with how many apps can be cached in RAM for fast switching then the more apps have something running in the background, for example to sync with a cloud service or to keep a widget updated, the less RAM there will be for the apps you are trying to use and there will therefore be a greater chance the app you are trying to start has to be started from scratch.
These threads really need to stop, Flinny's test build is just that A TEST BUILD problems/issues are expected.
I think it's normal...anyway it don't obstruct me

In my case I am certainly NOT contributing in order to criticise. Of course I know a test build may have issues but, like many others I suspect, I am happy to try the latest thing. When things don't work quite right it is worth discussing it. If we can understand what is happening we can help each other mitigate the issue and maybe even have something useful to feed back to developers.
I was running build 127 and things had become very slow. I have now updated to build 128 and the phone is fast again. At this stage I am not sure if this has anything to do with the new build or whether it is down to apps. I have all 45 apps installed but for many of those that sync to cloud services I have not yet got round to setting up the username/password for that to happen so this may be limiting the amount of background activity to a level where it doesn't get in the way. I'll try setting some of them up and see what happens.
Hi,
A few weeks ago Google gives us new update to Google Maps with fully new design. From 7.0.2 (latest) update there appear a problem on my DHD (with JellyTime R11). While using this app screen is shacking up and down, what is a little bit annoing. I thouhgt there should't be a problem while using navi from google maps, but i was wrong. There is the same problem. I am going to go to another city, and navi will be needed. Is there any solution for this? Guys using this rom/device has got same problem as me? Is this problem on another rom/device?

I have the same problem on my Desire HD, using cyanogenmod 10.1 There are several reports about this on the internet for different devices / ROMs.
I guess the best option for now is to revert to maps 6.xx

I have the same problem.
I've read that deleting and reinstalling should fix it.
I have not tried yet as i can't be bothered with it. :cyclops:
I had the issue on maps 7.0.2 which was upgraded from maps 7.0.1
After I read your post I removed the app and installed maps 7.0.2 from play store. It seems to work well now (I only tested for 2 minutes).

NEW GOOGLE MAPS IS PURE CRAP. Here. Use this.
Google Maps 6.14.4 (APK) (Source: zippyshare.com)
Use whatever app you have to use to rid your device of that PURE GARBAGE that Google is trying to pass off as a new version of their "Google Maps" application. (I recommend a reboot before doing any further after removal.)
Download v6.14.4 and install it. (Remember to re-check your security settings to allow the install of third-party apps.)
For me: PROBLEM SOLVED.
Google really F'ed up with this new version.
I got the new v7.1 update from the store and it worked good so far. Tested on a 10 km navigation and a bit of looking around on the map.
Edit: Swapping between apps makes the map screen flicker when you are back in maps.
Offline problem
In my Inspire, first version 7 was unusable because of flicker. With latest update, flickering is only present when using cached maps with no internet connection, so can't use navigation... :crying:
The flicker only appears if you switch between Google Maps and any other app or if you scroll down the notification bar.
When you use only Maps there is no flickering
Greetings Alex
This is problem in Maps app itself not in DHD, since owners of phones from other manufacturers also report this issue. With latest Maps update, I think the issue is gone, but to be honest not tested fully.
7.2.0 is much better but the problem still persists after changing from portrait to landscape

Happens on other devices as well, it 's a Maps 7 issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368972
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359744
I too have reverted to version 6 and try the new versions from time to time but it still hasn't been fixed. It has improved in the latest versions though, I used to be able to trigger it by pulling down the notification bar but this no longer seems to trigger it. Switching to another app still does though. I also get a blank square instead of a menu when I try to get traffic info of my route... very annoying.
Google keeps releasing new versions with 'bug fixes' in the 'What's new' field but they never really specify what 's been fixed. Has anyone tried the version from nov 2 yet?
I did not try the last maps 7, but had the same issue with Glob (based on maps api I think) AND JellyTime 4.2.2
Now I changed to CM11 4.4 nightly and it's ok with Glob, so maybe it's the same with Maps.
Hi.
There's two issues with Google Maps in bubor's CM10.2 build 20130902:
1. On a clean install, Voice Recognition is not installed. This makes Google Maps crash when pressing the Voice Search button.
Solution: Install Google Voice Search
2. When Maps is open and the phone goes to sleep (both timeout and pressing the power button work), after turning the screen back on, Maps only displays a white screen (flickering when trying to scroll).
This seems to be an NVidia/GL problem, this pops up in logcat, just before sleep and just after wake up:
E/gralloc ( 115): NvGrPost: Failed, TEGRA_DC_EXT_FLIP 6 No such device or address
Later, there's multiple failed calls to NvRmChannelSubmit.
Restarting Maps fixes the problem.
Full logcat dump attached.
Solution: I have no idea.
/edit: Same in the 20130904. Keyboard light confirmed working, though.

I noticed that I had issues last time I used google maps on my phone, not just sleeping but when switching apps and then switching back to it ... pretty useless if I want to check anything and then go back to the phone when using GPS to navigate.
Maybe re-applying GAPPS might fix it, just don't update gmaps anymore ... ?? ... I donno man.. pretty BS they dropped support of our phones because of lack of neon support. Our hardware is still to this day more than adequate ... side by side, my phone is faster response than an S3 with JB.
The new GMaps is still buggy. The glitches are present on other devices as well.

Other devices as in other Tegra 2 devices, or all 4.3 devices?
I found a post referring to a similar issue on the nvidia devzone where it turned out to be an application problem.
Google Earth does not show this issue. Can't do a logcat right now, but I suppose that's an EGL application, too.
/edit: Alright, I just learned that Google Maps 7.x is pretty new (first 7.0.0 release in July) and that downgrading to 6.14 might solve my issues. Oh the outrage in Google Maps for Android product forum on Google Groups.

thanks for clarifying that for us!
This thread has a link to the latest Maps 6 (6.14.4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357873
It works just fine without those issues mentioned above.
I also had the black screen issue in Maps when switching apps. As others reported, this issue is not present in Maps version 6 so I downgraded to this version.
Now I'm wondering if there is a way to fix Maps to version 6? It is annoying to update the other apps one by one, since clicking in the "Update all" button in Google Play will update Maps as well.
Same issue
I have the same issue on v7.2 with both CM and Stock Rom.
My device is the Captivate Glide (i927)
I notice that some users are reporting that through Google Play they can update to Maps 7.x, however I am unable to do so, from Google Play i can only update to Maps version 6.14.4 on my 4x HD.
What firmware version are the people getting 7.x running?

I suspect that this may be due to too new of a kernel. More specifically, nvidia appears to have made a lot of commits to the tegra kernel drivers. I'm going to take a closer look at the diffs tonight.

Now on CM 11.0 I have a reverse problem: I can't delete the stock 7.x version of Maps and install working 6.14 version. The only solution I found was to roll back on CM 10.1.3, install 6.14 Maps, make a Titanium backup of 6.14 version, reflash CM 11.0 and restore 6.14 from Titanium backup. But after every reboot Google Maps are reverting to 7.x version. So I have to restore 6.14 backup every time I reboot my phone, and that's rather inconvenient. I glad that the CM 11 is very stable and allows weeks of uptime.
Dear bubor, can you make your next CM build with 6.14 Maps version or without Maps at all? 7.x version isn't working properly on Glide anyway...
Well many people have reported this . . But for the time being as a temp fix you can do this .. it works or me .
