I saw over in the Dream forums that they have Google Navigation working for the G1.
Was just wondering if anyone out there managed to get it to run on the Magic too? Or if not, has anyone been working on it / made any progress?
I tried to follow the G1 instructions but (predictably) it didnt work for the Magic.
I also tried and not surprisingly did not get it to work.
Which part failed? I was thinking of trying it but assumed I would have to pull my build prop file, compare it to the ones from the G1 thread, and make some changes.
adb shell rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
adb shell rm /system/sd/app/*maps*
adb shell rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
adb shell rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*maps*
adb shell rm /system/app/*Maps*
adb shell rm /system/app/*maps*
None of those files exist on the magic - i am assuming they are stored elsewhere?
also:
/system/packages.xml <-- does not exist on the magic
Result being that you cannot install the new maps.apk file
No dice for me either. I tried manually and the batch file. I'm sure it's those missing files. If someone had access to a G1 and copied them I'm sure it would work.
I also saw this earlier today and was thinking about testing it.

Just checking guys, since you don't have the information in your signatures are you running the Cyan 4.2.3.1 rom? I can't see that this has been given the OK to work on other roms.

Probably - I did it on an AOSP rom and screwed up my radio. No idea why
I could not get it working on 32A MyHero because the app looks like it needs 1.6 to work.
Here are the steps to get it installed. Once it was installed it force-closed on launch.
I did this all from adb in recovery
if exists remove Maps.apk from /data/app/
if exists remove Maps.apk from /data/app_s/
if exists remove *maps* & *Maps* from /data/dalvik-cache/
Update build.prop and build.trout.prop
set ro.build.version.sdk=5
set ro.build.version.release=2.0
set ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-verizon
reboot
adb install path-to-Maps.apk (the one found in Dream forums)
I see the new Maps app name and icon, but it force closes (crashes) on launch.
Note: the MyHero rom just has a link from /system/app/ --> /data/app_s/
I imagine it should work on a 1.6 Donut ROM.
Note: You might have to revert the build.prop changes after you install Maps to support other applications.
I'm setting up this thread to keep extra functions on AOSP 1.6 & the actual development of AOSP 1.6 separate.
Discuss issues with extra functions in this thread & NOT the AOSP 1.6 thread.

Great thread.
A couple things to do after you get the Googlebits on:
Move su
Code:
#cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
#ls /system/bin/**to verify su copied**
#rm /system/xbin/su
Install busybox symlinks
Code:
#busybox --install /system/xbin/
I'm loving this build. As soon as GPS gets working I'm deleting my 1.5 nandroid backup.

Link perfectly fine for me, site is loading a little slow, but it's still there.
Thanks for posting googlebits.
Just a FYI
its a bit cleaner if you do the following.
unarchive google bits to androidsdk/tools
change dir to androidsdk/tools
adb remount
adb push system/framework /system/framework
adb push system/etc/permissions /system/etc/permissions
adb push system/app /system/app
adb reboot

I prefer to push each file individually but I guess that would work also.

It may be something else I've broken (I've been tinkering), but is anyone getting gmail push with this build?
Mine seems to have stopped. I can check the mail manually, but nothing is getting pushed to me. Since this could be a Google issue, or something I've done, I'm looking for input before i troubleshoot.

I was getting Gmail fine the first day. I'm going to reflash my phone tonight & start fully testing it.
nevermind.
thanks so much for this works like a charm
contacts arent syncing
Hi. I'm having a problem getting my contacts to sync up.everything else though is working flawlessly though
Do the protected apps in the market place show up with this rom??
Thanks!

I'm also having issues with new emails being pushed to my phone, but I have been tinkering with SU, so I also may have broke it. I have already installed this on another friend's Hero & I'm going to see if they are having the same issue.
UPDATE:
My friend has not been having an issues receiving new email or with the notifications, so something related to SU or busybox, is possibly causing the issue.

I think there might be issue with Google sync after the initial sync.

Thanks. I went the whole way back. RUU, rooted with 1.5.2 recovery, flashed quietcblongs 1.6 and copied over googlebits. I'll leave it for a while and verify sync works as expected.
I don't see how busyboxes symlinks or moving su could break it, but your research mirrors mine, so we will see what happens.
Sometime last evening Google syncing stopped again. I'm going to try some mixing and matching with the various 1.5 and 1.6 versions of googlebits.
When i put the code in the cmd it says code not found
i meant error device not found
Did you install the Android SDK? If you did, did first cd to the tools folder of you Android SDK, before you did all the adb commands?
i did i do not know what is wrong
Hey, i'll make this brief. Whenever I use an update
Or try and push an apk over to /system/apps
It doesn't stick.
For example I removed the browser.apk, and replaced it with my own (using root manager and adp both) rebooted my phone and I have no browser.apk anylonger cant put one in regardless of how I try...
Another example, while installing and update to HTC_IME.apk (Black theme) It sticks to the phone until i reboot it...
Any advice?
Do a search on the missing apk. Just to be sure.
Not much help huh?
Its like the missing apk completely disappeared... no traces of it.
on your phone try going to the superuser and there should be a + /system/sh push it and it should disappear then try the adb push method

If you were trying to push to /system/APPS That might be a problem. I don't know alot, but if I'm not mistaken, the correct directory for apps is /system/app/
Try this.
Code:
adb remount
adb push browser.apk /system/app/
Also, if you're using A2SD.. it would be /system/sd/app
Let me know if it worked.
Ok well, I checked for root access just to be sure, And of course, I have it lol..
But none of these methods work.
Edit: I mean ive done it before, I dont know what the hell is wrong...
Why not do a simple mount of the sdcard , no adb.
Then copy the file to the card. Use a rooted terminal emulator or even root explorer to copy/move it.
BTW I know that on some systems the ".foo" files ( beginning with a . ) can be invisible and on other systems they can be designated as temporary, I don't know the convention for linux/android.
I do know that I would push a file which has been disappearing and then do a ls -af xxxx on it in a rooted terminal emulator to see it's permissions and "real" name.
^Tried using a rooted file manager to move it..it simply doesnt show up in the tray and when i go back..it's gone like always.

So it's on the sdcard?
Use a terminal emulator and do a
$su
#ls -af filename.
Eh you know what, I'll just wipe and reflash a fresh rom. I'm not putting in anymore effort lol...
A mod can close this now.
Hey friends!
I have a great problem.
After installing another rom, my market doesn't work properly.
I open the market and it's very slow. Everything I want to do takes a few seconds. Tapping on the downloads button, tapping on apps, downloading them... all slow.
Now I've figured some out:
Wipe everything
install another rom new
took another google account
market is fine
Then:
wiped
installed the rom new
took my first account
market is slow.......
Whats wrong with my account and how can I get it to work normal.
If I said slow, that isn't right. Right is sloooooow....
That's weird... lets see what others have to say...
Is it anything like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670407
I still haven't fixed mine yet, trying desperately to..
Yes, same problem.
Sh*t.
Market is still unusable for me.
But now I can see paid apps, but it's terrible slow.
Can someone put this threads together? I think, I#ve searched wrong yesterday.
Try pushing another market apk to your phone?
You're right, it solved the problem. Thanks!
I've deleted the Vending.apk in folder /system/apps
Then I've installed another Vending.apk with ADB
Copy the attached file to your AndroidSDK/tools folder on PC (delelte the .zip extension!)
Plug your Phone with USB to the PC
Open up the shell (cmd)
Navigate to your AndroidSDK/Tools/ folder
Type in:
adb remount
adb shell push Vending.apk /system/apps
adb reboot
After the reboot, everything is fine!

This helped me too but you have a few commands wrong.
Firstly, to remove just do:
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/Vending.apk
Then, to install the older version:
adb push Vending.apk /system/app/
adb shell reboot
I also did the removal line again with a lower case v as I seemed to have two vending.apks, this may just be something specific to my phone though as I was messing around a lot getting this working!
Bugger, still didn't work for me...
something weird.
wiped, reflashed cm 5.0.7-t2 and gapps epe54b.
right after adding my gmail account the market started to download all my paid apps again. that made the market that slow.
now wiped again and reflashed 5.0.7-t2 and gapps.
installed titanium backup.apk and restored all apps and settings.
for now the market (v1713) works as usual.
I've tried everything advised and my market is still s-l-o-w.
I have tried:
Clearing cache
Uninstalling updates
Reflashing Gapps
Formel's replacement Vending.apk
Think I'm gonna resort to a full wipe once CM5.0.7 is out...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2589-solved-market-slow-for-some-people/
on some phones it fixed itself.
I searched around and couldn't get a clear answer. I'm a noob at anything command prompt/terminal related.
I was screwing around with adb last night after figuring out that I can remove program .apks with the rm <com.whatever.program> command. I got a little trigger happy and removed things that I don't use, just to test it out. I made a nandroid backup before I started. The phone runs fine, but now the Market won't download anything. It just sits on the Starting download... screen.
One of the .apks I removed was GmailProvider.apk. Whether this is the problem or not, I'd like to reinstall it for practice. I can always nand restore later.
So my question is... How can I use adb push to reinstall an apk?
I tried:
Code:
adb push C:\GmailProvider.apk
adb install C:\GmailProvider.apk
adb install C:\GmailProvider.apk \system\app
And about every variation of the 3, in and out of the adb shell.
It didn't work, and I'm at a loss to do anything else. So does anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: I think my "\" should be "/". I got this
Code:
BusyBox v1.15.2 <2009-12-02 TIME EST> multi-call binary
Usage: install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [source] dest|directory
Copy files and set attributes
Options:
Then some usage stuff here.
Then I looked at the command prompt and made a face like .
Suggestions?
It might help to say that I'm using EvilEris 2.0.1, Windows 7.
Just reflash your ROM after doing a titanium backup. Easiest fix.
try this after putting GmailProvider.apk in your sdk\tools dir:
Code:
adb remount
adb push GmailProvider.apk /system/app
remount marks the system directory as read/write

Beat me to it. ADB is powerful and pretty cool if you know some good commands, but you can really mess up your phone if you know what I mean. Not mess up like brick (unless you really try) but more like phone won't load gmail now, phone won't get past the htc screen. As long as you have a nandroid backup you SHOULD be fine, the push, pull and rm commands are really the first step of rom building. If you know what files you pushed and rm'd you can make your dream rom.

You do not have to do anything after an adb push.
What rom? Some roms have been modified to the point some htc apps will not work. Addionally a copy of the htcfacebook.apk from an eris build may not work on a sprint based or g1 based roms do to signature variations
