Google Navigation

Hi,
Is there a way to unlock google navigation outside the US?
thanks

There isn't an official way. Google for some reason doesn't let navigation work in many countries (including Greece that I live in).
With every update there is a modded apk around that enables worldwide navigation. Don't have it atm.The only drawback is that you have to find the apk with every new version in play store so that you have the latest changes.

First you need to root your Hox so you can delete the old maps from system /app. Then download the hack version her http://htcfanboys.com/download/rawdealer/?action=view&file=12523

I really don't think so . If you read the op in my thread
Quote : "After a lawyer representing google contacted me on G+ and then later call me and we had a little talk ,we came to the conclusion that I'm not going to spread anymore modified maps . I'm not going get on the wrong side off Google .. And I'm considering closing the thread"
So sorry but I don't wanna get fryed by Google.

Stock Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher & Google Apps Extracted

NOTE
1 Just install the apks as a normal app unless you wanna push it to /system/app and make it a system app.
2 It should work for all the devices with Android 4.2 or above.
3 Anyway, if you are on Android 4.1 or below, you may still give it a try if there is no 'error parsing package' occurred.
4 The fix has to be extracted to replace the previous lib under system/lib, do not flash it.
5 If you are pushing the apks to /system/app or replacing the lib, ensure that the permission is set to rw-r--r-- to avoid FC.
Stock Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher --- Here’s what you’ll need to install:
1 PreBuiltGmsCore (Google Play Services 4.0) Download [Mirror]
2 Velvet (Google Search) Download [Mirror]
3 GoogleHome (Google Launcher) Download [Mirror]
UPDATE 1: Google Search Force Close fix:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, for me I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US. (you may have to redo this step every time you restart --- if you experienced FC --- for non-rooted users)
OR
Please extract and replace the /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so with the one downloaded from THIS or THIS LINK. (permanent fix --- for rooted users)
UPDATE 2: "Ok, Google" search feature fix:
If anyone has a problem with the "Ok, Google" search feature, you have to get the English (US) language update. Under "Language and Input" --- "Voice Search"/ "Google Now Settings" --- "Voice", tap "Offline Speech Recognition" --- "All" and tap "English (US)" to update. After it is done, press home and it should be working! If you've cleared data on the app, it'll erase the update and you'll need to do this again.
Google Apps Extracted:
Contact and dialer are not added because they did not work while calculator and map are not added due to parsing error~The apps may not fit every screen perfectly due to different screen resolution
Calendar Download [Mirror]
Clock Download [Mirror]
If you're getting an install prompt instead of the update one, chances are this APK will refuse to install. This happens because this package's pname is com.android.deskclock, and yours is probably com.google.android.clock, so it's not installing as an update but rather as a separate app, and then failing because the same provider name has already been declared. The only way around this would be to freeze/uninstall the stock clock, as far as I can tell, which requires root. You may need to clear data for the Clock app after installation - otherwise it may FC on start.

Thanks for providing an alternative link for Hangouts 2 when it was not working. Regarding your issue, I think it simply means 'error parsing package'. It can be either the file is corrupted (redownload will help) or it does not support your operating system.

I you press on search in GLauncher then menu you will get a blank page.

Thanks for your tutorial

Thanks for share!
I can't download the camera and gallery apks.
edit: solved!

i9000 user here running 4.2.2 Cyanogen Mod September Nightly.
Launcher, Google Search, Google Keyboard & Email apps are running perfectly fine.
Hangouts although running fine but freezes and crashes often. I am being told that its Hangouts' own issue and it'll get fixed with an update.
Clock for some reason keeps crashing. Can you guys help me on that?
Haven't tried the other apps but i assume they'd work fine too.

Edit mode in gallery crashes for me.
I am in i9505 with Google Edition ROM 4.2.2.

It says there is too many downloads so can you mirror link it? Can you also put a all-in-one .zip file as well please?

Not quite sure but do you mean when you click the "mic" button on the software keyboard and then you can talk to enter words? Its builtin I believe but could happen that you just need to go to settings and then "language & input"? (not sure of the exact word since I dont have english language on my phone) and in there set the language at the voice options. If not then it should be downloadable from google play if you just search for it.
Not sure if it helps you but I have tried atleast

Many google apps don't work with microg, it might be the reason, u can create a id and password on xda directly.

Xda one app that you will have a problem with. Easy fix is to go to xda through the browser and change your password. Then go back to xda app. Login with your username and pass. Don't try to click th G icon it won't work now that you are using microg.
What other apps are you using that are giving you a problem?

Its better to add what apps are working which apps are not working in OP, so that people don't report them again.
It would be good if you add that backup and sync zip to OP, as few people like me backup contacts on google.

I haven't listed any because I haven't had any issues with any gapps I use.
Export your contacts to your sim or export your contact file to your cloud storage. You can also download Google contacts from Play Store and APP OP it.
The point of all of this is to reduce wakelock, slim down your ROM and tell Google to mind their business. I didn't add contact sync because it is one of the services that frequently run even when sync is turned off. Ween off Google. Easy is not always right.
