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.

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.
hi i am making a new custom fw for my Arabian friends so i want to add an app to it
so is there any way to do it??
i thought at first that i just need to add the app file inside the Shpapp file but that wasn't right and didn't work
Any ideas would be useful
Thanks in advance
You just have to copy the apps folder to the SHPApp>Osp>Applications with the other applications. I was able to add Picsel Smart Offce and MyExplorer this way. And it worked like a charm. You can get the apps from sites where they upload apps for spoofing. I recommend: http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/
Note: Sometimes the files that you download from such sites might already be spoofed. That is they have copied the contents of the apps into a container app and renamed the files accordingly. So the folder name will be different from what the actual folder name would be for that app. So if you want to still install these apps, you will have to edit the <ID></ID> part in the manifest.xml file in the Info folder of the app according to the folder name.
Hope it works for you.

You can add sygic/ndrive but not delete the native navigation app since Route66 is encrypted in the apps_compressed.bin file. Native apps which you can delete are: Daily Briefing, Twitter, Facebook, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Update and Social Hub Premium Instant Messenger,
Whatever changes you want to make in ShpApp file, do that and then recompile it and flash it with a firmware. Done
are you sure astrotom?
i tried it before and ended up with non working samsung apps and nothing added
i'll try and report
and yes my intentions is to add sygic and ndrive and i have the original files already

You will end up with a non working Samsung Apps only if you replace a particular firmwares's ShpApp with other firmwares's modified ShpApp.
very bad idea to get an app like sygic with all its maps inside the file
trix and Wave remaker couldn't do it
trix couldn't add a sound file from sygic
Wave remaker couldn't add a folder inside the file
maybe i'll use small apps like you said astrotom like My explorer and picsel smart office
manged to do it
i didn't believe myself when i saw sygic as original app in my customized firmware
thanks astrotom you advice was so helpful
sorry but ...if I can add a new app (free or not like sygic, myexplorer, picsel...) and having it regulary installed and functional in main menu without spoofing like preinstalled asphalt 5 then..if those new apps will receive an updated version and I do the update through samsung apps when I'm logged then those apps will appear in the purchase history as if I had bought them (like ashalt), is it possible?
Does samsungapps recognize the installation of the added app as it does for asphalt?
don't have paid apps in my country to comfirm this
the version of sugic that i put in the fw is the free promotion version so i don't think it will get updates
and no it didn't appear at the purchase history
you should try it your self or ask astrotom as he tried different apps
for me sygic is just enough as i added alot of maps and the Shpapp file reached 590 mb
well based on my experience with asphalt 5 you can update it but it does not appear in purchase history. hence if you accidently delete it you cant download it again
Unfortunately, you can't update apps. Samsung apps will still recognize those apps and if you have not updated to the latest samsung apps, you can even launch them from within samsung apps. But like asphalt 5, pre-installed apps are not allowed to update. Apps can be updated only if you have installed them from kies and if they belong to your country's app store.

mmm...I've pre-installed asphalt 5, never bought it, but I've updated it two times through Samsungapps application on wave (not using kies) and if you login before doing the update, asphalt will appear in your download history
(update is notified on the top of the downloaded/installed application list)
yes even i have updated asphalt through my phone

Have you tried changing app version to a lower number in Appinfo.sys and manifest.xml before flashing (in Info application folder)? If this works perhaps it's possible to load a firmware with only some configuration files for many apps (no need of full apps folder with lots of mb...), then:
-set microsd as installations target;
-run samsungapps application on wave, login and download all the 'update' (actually you'll download the entire apps );
-if this works, you'll have all your favorite apps in your purchase history, working normally on your wave and with any firmware...

did anyone try this??
i don't have paid apps in our samsung apps market until now so i can't test this
hi this is so intersing job
how can i edit shpapp infact how can i add app to shpapp ?
hi every one again
wanted to report bad news back
you can add just two apps
if you added more than two apps you will get unexpected behavior like disappearance of the native apps like samsung apps,facebook,twitter,mini diary......etc
or ending up with broken samsung apps and nothing added
hope we find a way through this

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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.

Thanks mate. Now i can restore my cm7 back
I am glad that my advice is useful

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.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I reinstalled the stock rom and am on the latest maps and I don't have any issues with the fonts.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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.
