[Q] Google Maps on Aurora v4.1?

OK, so I put Aurora v4.1 on my phone the other day. Had some minor issues during the process, but finally I got everything right. There's one problem, though.. Aurora doesn't have Google Maps by default and I can't get the application off the Market, because it won't show during search.
I eventually found an apk, installed it and it works. Well, sort of. There are some connection problems, but that might be a Radio Frimware issue. The thing that bothers mo most now is that Market won't install updates for it - it says my device isn't compatible.
Any tips? I mean, besides the obvious one - using an alternative application - which I have my own reasons against.
Thanks!

What's new in 4.1.2?

Can you guys post the new feature you found in 4.1.2? Currently I flashed the takju 4.1.2 factory image, and I think it's almost the same as 4.1.1
Features/Bugfixs found from replies
1. One finger swipe to expand rich notifications. (boyzzykid)
2. Moving the Location settings out of the old settings to it's own settings page. (boyzzykid)
3. 4.1.2 build does not contain either the /system/recovery-from-boot.p or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, so it will not automatically install the stock recovery upon reboot. (Palaryel)
4. There is a new language selection screen (when you enter your phone for the first time - fresh install). (Joplisan)

One finger swipe to expand rich notifications and moving the Location settings out of the old settings to it's own settings page. That's pretty much it for GN users other than translation fixes and minor changes.

I've had to install 4.1.2 from the stock images from google sinceI ****ed up some things in my 4.1.1. rom that i couldnt fix that easily...anyway, ive noticed that the 4.1.2 build does not contain either the /system/recovery-from-boot.p or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, so it will not automatically install the stock recovery upon reboot

*please ignore*

well it's good to get an update for the Galaxy Nexus but I'm a bit sad that I don't see any major feature changes...
- No new version of GMail with swipe actions and pinch to zoom (guess it will come later as an update in Play)
- Still can't connect to my 5Ghz Wifi (but it used to work in the past)
- Google Voice Search still crashes presenting results (but it used to work in the past as well)..

You realize that's a leaked version of GMail coming with a new version of Android, right? I don't see how you can be disappointed that a 4.1.x update doesn't include a new GMail that no one was supposed to see in the first place...

yeah I've read people reporting the crash and how you had to deactivate some of the search "domains" of the Google Voice Search for it to work however it didn't work for me. I guess I could do a factory reset with 4.1.2 and see if all these problems go away

No issues on 4.1.2 connecting to my 5 GHz wireless, just throwing that out there.

I noticed that there is a new language selection screen (when you enter your phone for the first time - fresh install). So, that's a small change for 4.1.2 as well, I guess.

People have been saying this after every update for the last year. It's not new And contact sync is not coming because of the spat with Google and Facebook.

And if it does come it will come with a Facebook update. Android supports syncing fine already, it's Facebook that doesn't support it.

The webbrowser has improved alot when viewing flash content. It loads up almost instantly. Web pages also load faster now. My nexus beats the S3 and the iPhone 5 on web browsing (my own test on 100MB fiber optics internet).
I am at 1.5Ghz (The frequency our chip was disgned to run at) and it is beating the S3 and the iPhone 5 (s3 was on Android 4.0.4, 4.1.1 update is not out yet for the S3 in Holland....)

Small update adds recents clear all button and removes some g-apps that are available in the play store also adds hi-res wallpapers to launcher

ROM Overhaul ......
Ok so I noticed that most of the ROMs that I have used here including my own has been recreating the wheel so I have decided to go back to my roots and make pure AOSP with only the "fixes" found here and from AOSP so my ROM has become "clean" and basically stripped of its samplings from other developers written code to pursue my own originality so if you want just a basic AOSP ROM here is where you can come.

Happy Holidays to All!!!

Running your latest build and its really smooth. I'm hoping the WiFi not reconnecting after tablet sleep bug is not present but it did take a while for it to reconnect.

Running the latest version, it resets every once in a while. Doesn't seem to be tied to any particular app or activity.

Thanks I will look into that at the moment I am in the process of updating and fixing some of the bugs I've found

Ok as an update my ubuntu partition crashed on me and I lost most of everything so I'm back to square one again ..... but I have decided to take a different path .... I see that no one has maintained a completely vanilla rom, by vanilla I mean no features, no google, just Open Source Android, so this is what I will be offering from here on out .... vanilla android with my own fixes and coding (the little that I know how to do) and I'm going open source also I have received some pm's about adding devices to my rom ... and the only devices I have are the spcs gnex and the N10 these are the only devices I will maintain for since I can't possibly troubleshoot for a device I dont have .... so for anybody that was using my rom thanks and maybe I can catch you on the vanilla side (you know after you get bored with your full featured CyOKPAMuzEOS beast roms lol)

alright I'm completely vanilla now, ROM posted in the OP also I may have corrected that wifi disconnect issue haven't had a problem with wifi sleep or random resets on my n10 so hopefully you won't either

Do you have your locations enabled and no restarts? I've been having restart issues on cm,paranoid,ect. Hoping your rom will resolve these damn restarts.

Flashed this build last evening, gesture typing doesn't seem to be working. I've tried clearing the keyboard cache/force stopping it with no luck. I even tried force stopping android system - just cause. Everything else seems rock solid.

after I uploaded the roms I realized that I enabled gesture typing but did not fix the driver .... as a temporary fix you can delete libjni_latinime.so and rename libjni_latinimegoogle.so to libjni_latinime.so it will will be addressed in the next upload

when you say gps doesn't work can you give me more details I'm using google maps now and mine is working just fine

No satellites are in view and no signal is received from them. I've rebooted a couple of times and it still doesn't work. When I flash other ROMS the GPS works again. I really like your ROM and would prefer to run it. I've checked with GPS test plus and GPS essentials and get the same result.
Is there a log or some tool I could use to get you more information?

Google maps 7.0.2 problem

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

I confirm that, but in my case its very strange, only notification bar flickers

The same for 7.3.0
Odesláno z mého Desire HD pomocí Tapatalk 4

same issue for my DHD using maps 7.0.1 (I reverted back to 6.4.14)

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.

Question Why does my At A Glance Weather not update?

title says it all.
weather only updates in the widget, when i click on the weather directly and it opens in the weather app.
then it gets outdated again until i repeat.
it never updates automatically in the at a glance widget from google.
tried the beta, cleared cache. placed the specific google weather widget also on the homescreen, nothing helps.
any ideas?
thanks guys!!

worked like a charm from the beginning for months and just stopped working like weeks ago (but i dont know if it came with an os update)

I wish I knew what to suggest besides starting from scratch. Mine on my home screen updates fine by itself. Have you checked in the Play Store to see if you're enrolled in the Beta and might've forgotten? I'm not on the Beta and I'm currently on version 13.18.7.29.arm64.

It's probably something with that version, then, since I too am on stable but yet the older 13.18.7.29.arm64. I just manually checked for all updated apps and I'm still on this version. Hopefully, they'll release a stabler Stable version soon for you.
And hopefully, that truly is the cause.
Did you try rebooting?

You on the Android 13 beta? Or was it a different beta that you had tried? I am on the Android 13 beta and have been having the same issue since I updated to the latest beta build earlier this month. Granted, I always update beta builds ASAP and so perhaps this issue is occuring due to me disabling verity and verification this time around

I am also experiencing the same issue with the May update and Google app version 13.19.7.29. Battery optimization is disabled for the Google app and Play Services. I updated the Google app around the same time I installed the May update, so one of those two updates seems to be the issue in my experience.

I'm using the stock Pixel Launcher. At a Glance updates fine with upcoming calendar events, status of connected Bluetooth devices, etc. Weather just refuses to update on its own, and eventually disappears if I don't update it manually for a while.
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post: I also began using LSPosed and AOSP Mods around the time I installed the May update. AOSP Mods hooks into the Pixel Launcher, which makes me wonder if it could be part of the issue.

Could be. I use AOSP Mods also (but with Nova, not the Pixel Launcher). Temporarily disable AOSP Mods, reboot, and test it for a while.
