Anyone know of a functioning HTC Maps app for our Evo's?
I believe it was first introduced on the Desire HD, I would like to try it out...
Well, hope someone has some info on this!
I don't recall anyone ever mentioning it around these parts. Is it the same one that's on the HTC thunderbolt? Easiest way to try it is download a desire HD rom and try to extract it. Push it via adb or root explorer.
You'll need at least sense 2.1

Is it the one that caches Google Maps? I heard Google Maps has an update dropping along those lines, unless I read the header wrong. Never looked into it. I do remember hearing about some HTC Sense map caching ... Only reason I think of that. Can't search. Outside.

Are you talking about HTC locations with the precached maps? This looks sick

Yes to all of you :-D
That's what I was looking for, I have a sh!t load of leaked and final rooms on my MBP so I will just start going through and pulling what I find, gotta drive 500 miles today so hopefully I can find something to play with before I leave!

Noob here. I brought my desire hd a month ago and so far im really satisfied with what this device can do.
In my old Nokia I used to use ovi maps which used to show my current location and the route I need to take very accurately, something I find lacking on my desire. Google maps seems to show my location accurately only when the data connection is on.. with only gps on,it doesn't seem to pin point my location at all !is there no turn by turn navigation available?
I understand there are advantages to rooting such as getting tethering which doesn't come out of the box on other phones.. but if I do not want to try out other roms what other reasons are there to root since I have tethering right out of the box
?

You do know this is a Desire not a Desire HD forum.
Rooting allows you better control to your phone. An analogy would be a car with a sealed engine bay. Unlock that and you can fiddle with engine settings to get a more suitable "beast".
You can add/remove system apps (which is not a good idea unless you really know what you're doing) and it is a pre-requisite when you try to install custom recovery, S-OFF or custom ROMs.
You do realise that there is a navigation app that comes with Google Maps right? And I also believe that with the Desire HD you have HTC Laputa which is HTC's own maps and you don't need a data connection for that. Tbh, Google Maps is really powerful if you know how to use it.

Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.
I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.
I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.
I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!
Any update

It's been released...
did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged
Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.
Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...
Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.
I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.
Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?
Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.
I just saw articles about this new software and it looks promising. Nuance has been doing voice recognition for a long time so perhaps they have finally brought Siri like functionality to Android.

Only problem is that as of now, it can't be found in the market on our phones and the market says our phone is not compatible when I search from a computer. Does anyone know how to get the .apk? I'm sure the market will allow us to download it soon but I don't like waiting.
Also, has anyone tried this on another phone yet? Any feedback?
The apk can be found in the comments in your link
Thanks. Didn't realize it was already there.
Here is the link if anyone is interested in trying it out. I'll report back my experiences once I use it for a while...

Where is the money?
As a Dragon user on the PC I can tell you that Nuance isn't known for giving things away or doing anything for cheap. Since they aren't charging for this app, at least not yet, makes me wonder where the money is.
I work, with the elderly and disabled as a mobile care support worker, so I travel around alot, I have the nav proggy on my one x, but all it says is ,"In 100 yards" repeatedly and this is frustrating, also the instructions are not given as fluidly for the oncoming turns, the map rotates all the time and this is difficult to follow, with out a working voice.
Does any one know where I can get a really good app for navigation, whether it be a hooky app or not, my job is dependent on being on time for clients and as I have only started the job, I would not want to mess things up.
Please help.

I tried sygic the other day and found the routing to be bad. I drove past a junction on purpose due to traffic and sygic couldn't work out that coming off at the next junction and going a different way was quicker. It insisted I needed to turn around and go back.
I find copilot to be better

ATM the only one reliable enough is Navigon.
THis is a problem with the hardware. Not the software. You need to get HTC to repair your phone
FUll topic about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594281
There is no antennae fault, or wifi fault, or even gps fault, with this one. Phone is sound, I had it checked. As I had already read about all those faults before this issue. I actually had it sent to HTC via my network provider and got the diag report back and it was clear, no faults.But they did see that I had it unlocked via HTCDev,
Try Navigon

Make sure WiFi is switched off mate. I had dodgy navigation on google nav and then saw a post discussing this.
Now GPS is spot on. I use maps/navigation every day and its better than my tom tom now.

Copilot is the way to go. Better, smoother interface, and great map data.
Just Reinstalled maps, Google one, seems to be working now to, also discovered that if you go on Google maps and fine the place you want, then save the place as a link, then email it to your phone, then open it in maps, you can navigate to it using the maps navigation...yummy yummy , now that's the way to go.
So I think, if this works tomorrow, I will say farewell to Navigon, Copilot, syg and others, if this works.....please hope to Hell it does, or my client may end up being in distress.

This.
It also does the best at maintaining a constant position if the GPS chip flakes out intermittently. All the real navigation s/w products have algorithms in them that approximate position and intended course in the event of signal loss. I've found CoPilot's to be the strongest.
"Hookie" software as you call it is not allowed on xda, either buy it or don't discuss it on here

Copilet is the one, at least for me.
They use Navteq maps which is much better than Teleatlas.

It depends where you live I guess because teleatlas is supposed to be much more up to date in at least the Netherlands. I didn't compare with teleatlas maps but navteq thought I was riding off road on what seemed to be not just opened roads in many parts of northern italy this summer; anyway teleatlas = tomtom so that shouldn't be bad
"Copilot GPS" from market is free. Only thing is it doesnt have voice guided navigation. You have to pay $15 for it. Other than the voice guidance its pretty good free nav software.
Sygic is also good, and comes with free 7 day trial. See which one you like better.
Havent tried Navigon, but these 3 software are the best offline gps for Android right now.

Hey!
I'm searching for the people apk which was a standard app in HTC sense. I'm running cyanagen mod now and I only have the normal contacts app.
The thing is, the people app from sense could connect the same contacts from different sources. Let's say I have a contact John as a phone, and Facebook and twitter contact. It would sync these and put them as on contact in the list. This is a function I really need..
Does anyone have the apk for it? Or a recommendation for an app that does pretty much the same
Thanx!

i dont think u'll be able to use htc sense people app while running AOSP (or any non-sense rom) because of the framework... dont know bout a third party app, but probably just searching on the play store should show something up

Thank you for replying!
I did search in the play store, but it didn't show anything in that sort. Do you know why it can't play on a AOSP? is it because of the source code? i thought it's just an apk like any other app..
The two main apps that I have heard of are Smartr Contacts (from Xobni) and Contacts + (Contapps) both free on the play store.
Smartr Contacts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xobni.contacts&hl=en
Contacts + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android&hl=en
Check them out, if you find a better one post back and let me know.
Much of the sense framework is different than aosp, cm, aokp, touchwiz, etc. sense apk's need the framework of sense roms to run on a different platform. There are all sorts of apps that people have made that look and act like sense that will work in other roms, I have just never seen the people one, but if you look around you may get lucky. But I have heard that there has been some people able to get some sense apps working just fine on aosp based roms, maybe try finding one of them and see if they could get people to work

Yes girls know about XDA
you can thank a girl on here
Thank you!
I've tried both of them and contapps did exactley what I wanted! It took the different profiles of the same person and placed them in and showed them as one contact.
Smartr contacts is also a nice app but it doesn't take the diffenrent information in one ontact. So if someone placed their phonenumber on let's say facebook, I still didn't have it as his phonenumber in his contact form. Instead it gets the different comunication platforms all together in one screen, so you can communicate with someone specificlay in facebook and twitter at the same time. Not what I was searching for but still nice if you are searching for that.
Everybody else, thank you for replying en helping me
! appreciate it!
