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.

Hi,
I'm using Desire HD and my problem is sometime I can't install apps from market or even .apk via HTC Sync or SD card. It's just download .apk from market and then nothing happens.
I already tested with 2 different roms:
Android Revolution HD 2.0.5. This rom can't install music mod and some another apps but i can't remember its name.
Then after that i switch to LeeDroid v1.4.1 rom, this rom can install music mod but can't install xda-developers app (just tested this rom for a day, so i haven't found any another app which can't be installed)
Is there anyone who got the same problem with me ? or it's just me ? and, of course, how to fix it ?
//
Err... and a little different question: how can i increase LeeDroid's auto brightness ? it seem a little bit dark for me
I have noticed that with all builds available android market has alot of apps missing (such as google maps, etc)
I have found various vending.apk replacements for qvga models that fix this problem, but until now I have been unable to replace market.
I am currently using Gingerbones 5.25 odex version.
Does anyone know how to update market with the qvga patched version of market and make it work for an odex system.
Thanks

grab a file manager with root accessfor example file expert . go to settings clear market data and cache then using file explorer navigate to system apps folder delete vending apk and dex files and throw in the one from the link below then restart clear dalvik cache and you are ready to go.
the apk is not odexed but it works on odexed builds.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7688082/Vending.apk
also this is the new market after the facelift but itisn,t the latest version.....the latest version with qvga fix didnt work for me because it was patched with wildfire build.prop
Worked a charm, still havent got all apps (google maps is still missing) but when searching for "video" for example I get over 600 results.
Thanks a bunch

It's kind of strange as I can access google maps even on non patched markets there must be something wrong with your build. Maybe because gingerbones was stripped down a bit. Anyway there is patched G maps with worldwide navigation enabled floating in Android apps and games forum give it a go it works great for me.
while using aosp rom (cm7) with google maps installed i cant use navigation because it says its not available in my country (croatia).
however, while i use google maps with gingerbread sense (insert coin) its fully working.
anyone knows why that happens, and how to enable it in aosp rom?
I'm using oxygen with oxygen hboot.
Just removed some ogg files and tts voice files to gain some free space.
Then go to Android apps section and find maps by ownhere.
Push it to system app dir.
That's it.
Take note that there are two versions, one for system app and one for regular install. System one is better.
Pozdrav
found apk here, google navigation now works fine.

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.

Skip Landing Pages (Gallery/Music)
Description:
This MOD removes the landing pages from the Gallery and Music apps. The landing pages are the initial screens where you must pick "My phone" to browser the pictures/videos or music on your device. If you don't use any of the online services in the Gallery app (like Dropbox, Skydrive, etc...) and don't have the need for app shortcuts in the Music app, then you might find this MOD useful.
Warnings:
The base files for the MOD were taken from maXimus v12.0, which is the ROM I'm using. But it should work with any ROM with base 3.14 without any issues. I take no responsibility for anything that might happen to your phone when applying this MOD, always make a backup before flashing it.

I'm not sure what exactly could be the cause on that ROM. Didn't install it myself but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary that could render this MOD useless.
Please try to clean the data/cache in Settings » Applications » All (search for "Music" and "Gallery" and press "Clear Data" on both). Then reboot into recovery, do a full backup (just in case, but you can flash the original files provided above), clear dalvik-cache/cache and flash the MOD again. Reboot and see if it works (this reboot might take a while).
1.1 works great with ViperX 3 thanks

Great mod!
Will this be ported to 3.18 base?
I'm experiencing widget fc's on the 3.14 base as well as the 3.18 when using this mod. could this be a culprit for those fc's?
cheers
Great mod, sucks to have that useless landing page when I just want to navigate to my photos instead! :good:
Obrigado!
