Google Maps Cache

Is there a way I can backup/restore Google Map's cache ? Where is the cache located? Is there a maximum size limit on the cache?
Also is there a software that will allow me to build cache of specified areas then just transfer it over to my Android phone?

If u search Google for offline maps Apperntly Google will be releasing an update sometime in the near future that allows us to store maps so we can use navigation without having a data connection

That will be a great feature. Many applications like ovi maps already had this feature, but especially for a vacation in another country it will be nice to have.
But wasn't the cache also some sort of 'offline' mode.

the cache can be found on your sd card:
Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps

I tried backing up up the cache prior to doing a factory reset. Then when I restore the cache data and fix the permissions, it works. However, after resetting the phone or something, the cache automatically get deleted.

BUMP.....
does titanium backup work

You can find Google map cache in sd card as per this path:- Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
take the backup of this folder " com.google.android.apps.maps " google map saving map cache file in that folder

Applications don't Install!

Hi Guys I need some help today my streak stop installing the app from the Market.Today I try to Update two app from the Market looks like the app is downloading but don't install My Streak is using froyo 319 and have Market v.2.3.4. some help guys

Troubleshooting the Android market
Try clearing the cache for the market, and if that does not work clear the data.

Had the same problem (froyo 318) with more recent apps that are bigger then 20MB. Fast forward provided above troubleshooting to "Unmount SD Card". That worked for me.

If you have this problem and are trying to install FROM your SD card (not the market), you can use ADB
adb install [filename thats saved inside your adb directory].apk
problem solved!

I was having this problem with angry birds. Unmounting the SD card while installing and updating it works for me. Just super annoying when I have to do it.

Ye the unmounting of sd card work great as well

[Q] Apps stop installing?

I notice this happens alot of custom roms other than stock deodexed roms.
I started reinstalling my apps one by one because TB was only resintalling half my apps. So after reinstalling about 30 or so apps, the market stops installing apps for me. I'm currently running "WORKING NETFLIX! NEW! [AllianceROM][r7.2] HybriD 3D[Sense 2.1 OTA][Themed]"but this has happened on Calkuns roms too. Its even happening with updates to apps that are already installed. So I uninstalled the apps and tried installing them as fresh apps and that still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Clear your market data and cache. For whatever reason when you install a bunch of apps from the market at the same time this happens.

If the above doesn't work you may have to wipe your .android_secure folder on your SD card as well.

How do I clear the market cache?

I had to clear android secure in order for this to work.

Future reference, to clear the data and cache of any app, go into settings>applications>manage applications>app your trying to clear data for.

It's not just for ICS. Try clearing the Google Market cache.

If that doesn't work, uninstall latest market update. It should update then.

easily visit apktops.com ...locate google play and download directly from their server .
use the QR code to download directly from ur atrix

i would not recommend downloading apks from sources other than google market/play store.
Inspiredwire and mobileweasel are right... go to settings > applications > manage then click on market then clear cache, exit and go to market again. if it doesn't work, see if you have market updater and clear its cache too.
when you run the market after clearing cache, give it time as it will download the update to play store automatically. tap "accept" if it asks, give it a minute then exit the market and the market icon will be replaced by the new play icon.

How to clear dalvik cache without recovery

Open root explorer. Go to /data/dalvik cache. Select all files in the folder and delete them. Reboot immediately. Stuff will get very unstable till you do.
This will re optimize the system after all the changes you have been making.

Similar to this, is thr a way to clear cache partition without recovery mode?

What is the purpose of doing this? Will this clear my settings or default programs?
Adversely, I have one default program I would like to clear but it does not show up on the default app list... can I clear this one manually? Namely I want to switch back to using Svoice vs Google Voice and no matter what i do I can switch it back. Turning on Svoice under settings does nothing.

Thanks for the great info

Thanks for the helpful tidbit.

question here
if i clear my dalvik cache( with not the intentions to install new rom...just cleaning junks) will my personal data be saved?

why just don't use one of app : https://play.google.com/store/searc...sp=CAFiDQoLY2xlYXIgY2FjaGV6AhgAigECCAE=&hl=en

So cache partition stores all these settings which can be deleted from settings->apps? or it's maybe something like temp in Windows?
Whether will be deleted apps settings after wiping cache partition?
edit. I found.
None settings deleted. It just support's faster lauching of most used apps. After wiping, few lauching of the app restores previous condition of executing. May fix errors during opening some app, due to some overloads of this memory.
Because dalvik cache stores fragments of compiled code of an installed apps, and can be just deleted for restore some performance of system (it is restored after reboot).
Especially these wiping these two - dalvik and partition cache, is sometimes practised after installing lots of apps, to improve performance, maybe some errors.
Correct me if something's wrong.
