[HOW-TO][Ver 6.12] Update GMaps (24/09)

HOW TO UPDATE GOOGLE MAPS:
I saw many pp ask about this and now I will type the guide here:
- Remove old version of Map
- Go to your /data/system
- Take the file "packages.xml" and copy to somewhere (sdcard, pc..etc)
- Open it wit NOtepad++ (on PC - recommend) and search then delete the line: <shared-user name="com.google.android.apps.maps".....>
- Copy the file back to its place and set permission rw-r-r
- Install this new signed version below as normal apk
- Done & Test
Download:
Version 6.12 http://www.mediafire.com/?17l0ayhlyx0fdxo
Version 6.11: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ufwl1bfo6zqx2i/Maps6.11.1_Mod.apk
FAQ:
Q: Why I dont make a patch/update via updater?
A: Becoz it depends on your packages.xml and UserID
Q: Is there any other easy way?
A: I dont know Just found this way and it works for me. If u can find other easy way, pm me and I will update the guide.

I don't have the line you showed. I only have this one;
<shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10007">
Should I delete this one instead?
When installing from market, it says this
"Incompatible with other applications using same shared user ID"

Working great....thanks Leo !!!

I think u should find: com.google.android.apps.maps =.=
Some users tested and it works so It's weird if it doesnt appear in your phone

what apps did you use to move the xml file?
also what app is use for changing chmod?

S3 Camera App Name

Hey guys,
Can anyone grab me the name of the stock camera app? Should be something like com.samsung.camera.
You can get it with an application called APK Extractor from the Play Store.
I need this info for work, so I would really appreciate it.
FYI: I manage devices via an MDM, built a general profile to allow apps, but forgot that apps have different names across different devices.
The app is enabled under the wrong name for this device and I need the name so I can add it to the MDM.
Thanks a lot!

You mean package name**
It's com.sec.android.app.camera

You can create your own theme for Samsung mobile

Nice

Thanks!
I downloaded and install. You can create your own theme but I have some problems installing the apk theme in my S7 edge: If I copy the .apk theme in my phone and install it, it can be selected in the Themes App but only as a demo version and only runs a few minutes... I supose that I need to create an account in samsung themes developers and upload.
Is there any other way to directly install the apk in the S7edge (without root)?
Best regards

I remember it's a hidden package you have to manually type, will post once i find it

I try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69121771&postcount=9
Maybe ok...

I try:
- disable Theme store (com.samsung.themestore)
- clear data theme store
- reboot
Not works
And i can't disable Themes Center (com.samsung.themecenter)
If you have an idea

When select Themes (in Package Disable Pro), disable it AND press "Clear Data" button. Every time you reset your smartphone, you must press the "Clear Data" button too. I don't know how to do this automatic, maybe creating a widget with the "add widget" option?
Edit: I disable and clear data this:
1-com.samsung.android.themecenter
2-com.samsung.android.themestore
Be sure you have ADMIN selected (my S7 edge show me a warning in KNOX when install Package Disable Pro). It works for me but I must "clear data" every time I reset my smartphone.

Thanks for sharing.

Great ! Many Thanks !!!

I did it u can save the app in options save and set path

??
I don't understand how it finds the apk you downloaded. I installed an app cloner. Not sure which one you meant because there are many with that name. It then shows you the apps you can clone but I doesn't show the apk.

Another solution: download calendar from apkmirror,then mixplorer and mix signer add on. Then sign calendar (auto option) with mix signer and install it. It's simple

Doesn't work for me.

Leave me your email ?

Is someone meanwhile able to share the apk? I hate google calendar and porting it to another device is not working for me.

I would hope we can get this calender so as well!

Simple download latest Xperia calendar from apkmirror then sign apk and install. To sign apk i'm using mixplorer: tap on "sign",then tap on "auto" in option.

How to get Theme Store and other apps that do not come with EU phone version.(Root)

I found a way to get theme store and other apps that come with other region phone versions but you need to have root.This is for EU phone, I do not know if this work on other phones versions .Also I am on Realme ui c28 version .
The apps are installed but hidden, the apps that this give are theme store, google phone, google contacts, google messages and app market. It also unlock call recording . I bet that you can add only several of them but because I can freeze or uninstall them later I did not continue to find a way to do it. I recommend to do this to this after installing stock rom or after doing factory reset as at first I think that it did not work for me, maybe because I tried to install many versions of themes apk.
Instructions
1.You need to download any file explorer that can access system folder, I used root explorer (paid app)
2.You need to go to /system/etc/oppoRegionMarkFeatures and copy com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml and com.oppo.regionmark.RU.xml to internal storage in case that you want to revert this change .
3.Delete com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml on /system/etc/oppoReginMarkFatures and rename com.oppo.regionmark.RU.xml to com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml .
4.You need to go to /system/etc/ and copy the blacklist folder to internal storage in case that you want to revert this change.
5.You need to go to /system/etc/ and delete the folder blacklist .
6.Reboot the phone .
7.you need to go to setting and now you see on the top under search, sign in or something similar, click on it and register an account. Then you can go to setting, then click on "home screen & lock screen magazine", scroll down and you will see "Set Theme ."
8.Now you can select any theme you want and hit apply. The themes that you see is based on the region that you set the phone to, you can select India and reboot the phone and you will see other themes, most of them cost money but if you search free, you will see a free ones . You can also find a guides of how to install a paid themes for more then 5 minutes free trial .

Will the replacement of EUEX with RU create any problems?
I tried your procedure and it worked, but I reverted it waiting for your answer.
By the way, the themes will affect only stock launcher, right? Not the system interface, or am I wrong?

I do not think that it will crate any problem, I am on c28 and all work as before, nothing is removed, only added .The EUEX (Europa) has restriction that that Russia does not, It just easier to rename the files and not need to download any other files. Also can you tell me what firmware you are ? I want to confirm if it work on any other firmware other then c28 as I think that they change some files .Here is a link to download the blacklist folder - https://mega.nz/file/EM0lhLgZ#dqHsIf8LlfJmWzvbCTAxwmBAJuoIvL1EYD86p6yuoAg
The Theme can affect the system interface, notification panel but not all do it, most do not.

Hi. I'm on C.28 downloaded from European site.
And thank you for blacklist folder. Now I'll add files again. Except for app manager I'm not interested in the other apps. And of the themes I tried none was interesting.
But your method is amazing. And I can confirm the whole morning I haven't had a single problem.

I do not mind that you translate or share this guide, just do not forgot to write that it work on c28 and this is not tested on other versions. I once tried to do it on c27 and it did not work but I edit some other files before, so maybe it cause the theme store to have problems applying themes.

Hi, this does not work on RUI 2.0 F.14. Do you have another steps to perform so i can unlock the hidden apps?
