Hello,
Can't download Google Maps 4.4 from the Market, it's not visible in Serbia.
Any volunteers for uploading?
Big thanks!
mate, just wait a bit for mr brut to come out with 4.4 instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Google maps 4.4.0 and brut-appmod seem to co-exist btw.
I was happily using Brut-appmod (great mod, btw!), but noticed significant memory leak I couldn't trace. It went down to 40 MB for no apparent reason.
Was it the Brut mod or something else? I don't know, but I've recently wiped clean my HTC Desire and wouldn't push my luck further.

Hello,
Before the brut is released, You can download and install market enabler
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list
With this program you can change your location (like US) and download all software you want.
PS : i Think you need root access.
I guess this is legal so I've uploaded it here. It's on my dropbox so I can't guarantee you how long it will be on there.
If this is not legal, please remove it mods.

Yes, I've already considered that, but am still not ready to root. This is my first Android phone and I don't have enough experience for rooting.
AppBrain app does great job for everything else, but not for Maps.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks

HI
My HTC Legend have Google maps 3.4 factory intalled,
Anyone have problem with installing Google Maps 4.1 on Legend? cant find in Android Market, tried from google's site unsuccessfully .
Sorry for bad English
i had no problems installing the update to 4.1
The Legend is experiencing problems with some apps. The problem seems to be that the Legend model is not know yet by some localized Markets.
In the Netherlands apps like Layar, and Hyves can;t be found on the market or installed manually, Google Earth doesn't boot up. And in your case updates aren;t successful.
The problem is know by google and HTC and is being worked on. The reason seems to be that the Legend isn;t available everywhere till April.
I'm using Legend in English language and so far no problems with apps at all. Update to the Google Maps 4.1 was smooth as expected.

No problem here in Italy. As soon as I went in Android market, in download section I found the mark "upgrade available" for google maps.
It's running fine; I believe (as somebody else has already wrote) the market is depending by the county. Probably yr country is in queue to get the update

I think here in Europe is only 4.0 available as 4.1 working only in USA (for now )...
Earth doesnt boot, anyone manages otherwise?
Google maps 4.1 installed from the marketplace without a hitch. I'm in France.

Hi,
Since I started using custom ROMs (I've tried miniCM and Floyo) I can't get Google Maps 5+ to work in vector mode, nor offline. The 3D capabolities are also gone. They all worked in the stock FW.
Anybody knows the reason and/or the solution?
I've tried this but it doesn't work for the X8.
Does this other solution work? (it's a rather old post, that's why I'm asking, also it for Maps 5.0)
Thanks!
Bump!
Am I the only one concerned about this?
Thank you!
Solved!! (sort of...)
Elelinux doesn't have this problem! Google Maps works as it should be.
Now guess which is favourite ROM... Developers should take a look at what's going wrong with the others.

after upgrading the Google Maps stopped working here!
but I found the solution by following the links and making the following way!
reinstall xrecovery with flashtool v0.2.9.1,reboot end includ this line or change value in /system/build.prop
ro.opengles.version=313072
maps updated, working compass
May I ask why is the xRecovery update needed?
I tried editing build.prop with the miniCM ROMs, but it didnt work. I will do as you say, but I would really like to know the connection with xRecovery...

if not reinstall will not be able to change the build.pro, because after reboot it back to the original.
Thanks! Now I guess I will be able to update Google Maps in any other ROM (though I have no intention of leaving Elelinux in the short term)
HOWEVER, once I updated, Navigation stopped working saying that 'it is not supported in my country' (Chile)... just the way it was with the original (Eclair) Firmware. I really don't use navigation, but now I see that what is happening here is the Google Maps app included in Elelinux has some kind of 'medication' that overrides both the vector/offline thing and the regional restrictions of Navigation.
Can't seem to find an answer to this question.
Looks like the mod Dexter did for adding Google Play to the A7 was for an older version of the A7 firmware (1.4x).
Will this mod work on 2.2 or am I out of luck?
I just inherited this tablet from my 94 year-old mother and the only app I want to put on it is sold only on Google Play.
Thanks
is yours an a7 or a7+ ????

Sorry, mine's a 7.
Any advice from anyone?
Thanks.
OK, I am editing this last post. After a couple of PMs with Dexter, I decided to run the mod on my Elocity. I did discover that the Android Version is 2.2 and not the firmware.
The firmware version is the latest which is 2.01.
Anyway, the mod worked perfectly and now my A7 has access to the Android Marketplace and Google Play.
So all is calm in the universe. The only issue on Marketplace is that it reads the original device model, so if an app was incompatible with your device before the mod, it probably still is afterward. I have an astronomy app I want that lists the Elocity (T-Mobile Compal A7-040) as "incompatible" by the maker of the software because of it's inability to gain access to the Google Marketplace. Every other requirement for the software is met (Android 2.2 and a 1 Ghz processor), but Google still sees the device as imcompatible and won't let me buy it. Bummer!
Where can I find the files for Dexter Mods?
Just bought one of those old A7-004s from Brad Deals.
I want to have Google Play (Market) on the unit. Ready to burn new rom, but where are the Dexter Files? His website is dead.
Thanks

i have google play on mine and its stock with a few changes but because its under warranty i refuse to put a full mod on it till the warranty runs out.. but anyway go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967 and use the dropbox download and use the z4root app to root your device, if its already rooted then proceed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422 and get the latest play market.
note i tried the modded market but it wouldnt let me download anything so i went with the non mod google play market and everything seems to work fine.. just the normal google crap saying some apps are not compatible with your device.. but theres a workaround for that if you edit the build.prop to have it say its a different device(not sure exactly how to do it but ive seen a few threads where people have done this but i havent).
Does anybody have the latest Google Maps 6.9 APK? I was updated to 7.0.1 and want to revert back.
Thanks

Version 7 is royally screwed up, I would not recommend updating if you were seriously using the app.
I still haven't got the update to version 7. I'm still on 6.14 and play store says map upto date july 11th. How do I get the update?

I tried searching before for one and couldn't find the last pre-7 and was also too lazy to make a request thread.

Thanks this is great. I couldn't stand the updated maps app at all. Not very user friendly. I used the maps app a lot for when I'm out of town for work and this past week it failed miserably.

Reverting is easy
If you want to go back to a fully featured version of maps, just go into my apps in the app store, select maps and then press uninstall. It will take off the new version (downgrade) and revert you to the old (fully functional) version.
With the need to use two map as before (google+ to see where my wife and family is and maps to see traffic), the loss of my places, and the lack of layers on the navigation app (can't show gas stations along my route), this "upgrade" is awful.
Yes, the bare bones map and navigation software is slick. But you know what? So is TomTom and garmin. What set google maps apart were the extras. I can only hope they add a bunch of these features back (along with the option to display a +/- to zoom and a length marker) at some point soon. I won't be upgrading until they do (and my rating will stay 2 stars).
My thoughts exactly, it's very difficult to use the new Google maps.

in the new gmap you cant save a map to make available offline..
the new gmap is like on the iphone tsk tsk
thanks for this post, found it while I was out, I stupidly updated when i was at home as street view wasn't working, the newest one doesn't detect my location on data unless I have gps while v6 works fine,

Thanks, I've re-signed it with test keys so that it cannot be auto-updated by the play store.
I've had to uninstall maps 7.x and re-install the old version four times so I ended up doing this.

Hello, I have a Nexus 6p running 6.01. I had the latest app (ver 1.2.57p) running on my 6p but kept having the Android Wear issue so I tried uninstalling it from the 6p and reinstalling it. Unfortunately, Kevo has stopped letting people with the 6p download the app, so now I'm stuck with a really old beta/alpha version 0.9.66p.
Does anybody have the apk or a link to the apk for ANY version newer than 0.9.66p?
Thanks in advance.

just had this exact problem, except i'm on a 5x. after hours of digging and finding only that damn 0.9.66p, i was finally able to download the apk from the Play store and sideload. used an app called Market Helper (google it and you'll find it). i can't post external links since i don't have enough post history. PM me if you like and i can share the file to save you the trouble, otherwise use Market Helper to get it.
I found v1.0 on AtoZdownloads. just google kevo apk. you have to install their downloader app which is kind of lame but fair enough.
kevo help
