I want google maps 5 and google earth - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi
I want to download Google maps 5 and Google earth to my Androided HD2. I have "MDJ FroYo Revolution 2.3 NAND (Android 2.2)" ROM. Is it possible to install these 2 apps? I couldn't find them in the market!!
Thank you
Mohammad

Last I checked they work just fine. Is it that hard for you to just try? What would it have hurt. If they didn't run you uninstall them.

He wanted to know if they worked and I answered that. As far as him not finding them on the market I found it no problem to type in "Google Earth" found it.....typed in Google Maps.....guess what found it( was installed already but still) and it's version 5.0. Why wouldn't it be the most current version?

Try searching just for "google" and see if they come up. If not try downloading Market Enabler and changing your region.

The links are listed in that thread. Both rooted and non-rooted files work.
Seconded. The navigation works on my N1 as well.
worked for me. well, works as well as it could- it doesnt work perfectly remember due to Google closing certain holes
Thanks! I do not know where problem was, but after updating the SDK I was able to install brut5 version of Google Map and works fine.
Works perfectly in Australia!
Wheres this thread to get the navigation working? Would like to use it in the UK

Go to xda-developers G1 (Dream) forum. Search for maps hacked by brut or PM to me, I will send you apk.

Adfree App Question

Hey guys I just updated my Galaxy S to Froyo and did the factory reset to have a clean version. I'm reinstalling all my apps but noticed that "Adfree" is now missing from the market.
I've googled this and struck out.
Where can I download this or could someone PM this to me please? Thanks!
Same here. Would like to know if it's hidden because of the rom I'm using.
Also one more app Cherry RPlayer.
I swear that's all I need... Major thanks in advance!
OK scratch the Cherry RPlayer request:
For anyone else looking I found the solution in here:
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/63451-need-cherry-rplayer-apk-file.html
It may not be the most current version but it works and I need this to survive my morning commute. (believe me I was in a little bit of a rage when I did a fresh reinstall just to find my all-time favorite app missing now life is good)
Hopefully this helps anyone else that needs this app...

[Q] China Milestone 2 no Google Market

Hey guys, i just bought a milestone 2 from china mobile and I'd like to install the google market and google apps(Maps ang Gmail) for 2.2.1 can anyone share the apk's for these? Thanks!

Hello kazshizka, It seems that you got the P.R.China retail edition, this model of this device should be ME722 instead of Milestone 2.
I strongly recommend that re-flash the UK retail ROM with RSD Lite, just check the ROM file here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Then, search RSD Lite and the HOWTOs in this forum.
After you reflash your device, don't forget switch the Baseband to China version to ensure the signal strength of your phone.
If you have to send SMS in Chinese, you need more cracks with your UK rom. Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Alternatively, If you prefer the original ROM ( It quite contains lots of rubbish ), or, you really need the MOTO Chinese input method or something. Try follow steps:
Download the GMS ( Google Mobile Service ) package for ME722 here:
http://u.115.com/file/f4b76fefad
Rename the zip file to update.zip, then copy it into root folder under your microSD card,
Hold X button and boot the device, when there are a reboot with "!" appeared, press @ button.
Choose apply update.zip to install GMS package.
Enjoy it!
Best regards.
Thanks a lot!! It does contain a lot of rubbish. Can't I just root the phone to remove the rubbish? I'm using it in a different country so I don't mind the UK version but the Chinese input is needed.

UK ROM just cannot send Chinese Contents SMS without some cracks, but it can really works perfect with other Chinese input method like Google pinyin, Touchpal pinyin, and so on.
Switching a China version baseband is necessary even you using it in a different country. Because UK rom's baseband do not fit M722's hardware.

U can't update directly if u are from China because currently China still not in the Market List that fully distributing all applications (Google "Android Market - Supported locations for distributing applications").
Solution: Go to Market & try to search "MarketEnabler" and u will know the trick.
U will be surprised by then.
Sorry, there is one more condition: Ur phone need to be Rooted!!

MarketEnabler is very cool but I think you just can't image what happened in P.R.China's ROM,
Because a dozen of google's services was TOTAL OR PARTLY BLOCKED in mainland of China, include Youtube, Gmail ,Search ,Translate,.... And, we can't reach facebook, twitter, linkedin,....
So, there was even no market in China's ROM, the SNS link in moto blur are some localize servers instead of twitter and facebook.
We can fake mobile provider via MarketEnabler in Market, but no Market here.

is there no way to get a set from hong kong which already has market pre-installed in it? or to flash a new ROM so you can have the market software available in the new ROM?
EDIT: I LOOKED THROUGH SOME POSTS ON OTHER DEVICE THREADS AND FOUND THIS. I DO HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOUR GOOD SELF, AND THE OTHER USERS FROM CHINA

Really thanks for all your great efforts on this. My device is UK retail version, and I'm using the UK firmware now。
Hope the Market installer + MarkerEnabler will be a nice breakthrough for China frimware to get google services, but I don't know whether these could sync google account data ( like contacts ).
Maybe this is the best and easy solution of this thread.

waigx,
Thanks for the useful info, but have you actually tried what you are describing in your first post on a Chinese MS2?
I'm in the same condition as the OP, got a MS2 from China Mobile, it is already rooted (1-click method did it for me) but I hesitate about flashing it as I don't have any way of going back to the current state if it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

i do believe thats the reason why there is a guide to back up your current ROM. this is as simple as i can put it to you:
1 - Root phone
2 - Install Droid 2 Bootstrap
3 - Boot into recovery from Bootstrap
4 - Select backup on recovery ( use volume keys for up, down, camera for ok and power for back)

I got the same model ME722 from China, I have the same problem. No Market! Google does not recognize my phone and does not let me install from Market. How do I get Google to recognize my phone?
I rooted my phone and installed Market Enabler, however, I am still not able to install from Market?? I faked using Rogers then went to Market and tried to download an app, but Market still comes back with no Android phone..... Is there something that I missed?

Hi or.green,
I really understand your concerns, please don't worry about it. Your can flash it again if it fails, because the device load Bootloader first, which you cannot modify with flashing phones.
I wrote down my experience of using MS2 for share, and I attached it in the attachments. Including how to flash the phone and F.A.Q.s of MS2. But the contents are Chinese, hope it helpful for you.
Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Just go ahead.
Best wishes.
Edited: This article is for UK retail version, If you have a ME722, don't forget modify the Baseband after you flashed a UK rom
Hello waigx,
Thanks for the information, I'm downloading the file and will check if it makes any sense to me after google translate (I barely started learning spoken chinese, it'll be a while before I can read it... )
As to you comment about the baseband, I'm guessing instructions on how to do that are readily availavle online, right?
Thanks,
Or.

Still working man but Sygic is better.....
But like I said: it ISN'T available in the 2.2 ROMS. Please give me a link where I can download it then if it still works.

Why wouldn't you check the facts first? MotoNav is also shipped on Moto's 2.2-devices. So it's not that it can't run, it's the fact that it isn't included in the 2.2 ROMS here.

Could someone please help with a EDI-AL10C233B359 Rom flash

Could someone please be so nice and help me out. I admit i haven't looked to much into it as i need it asap.
The problem, i purchased this phone believing it has a international ROM and that i would have google, playstore,... on it. This is not the case.
All i want is to flash a compatible ROM which will have all of that included.
Hope someone could post a direct link to a ROM which would be compatible and meet the requirements, i have screwed up a mate 8 not to long ago with a wrong ROM so trying to avoid doing the same.
TIA

It's been so long since you posted, you may have sorted your problem or may not even have the phone anymore, but anyway have just seen the post and wanted to tell you that even though it's a Chinese import with no play store, you don't have to flash a new ROM to get the Play store, you can just download Google Play Services and Google Play apk's and install them. After that you will have the Play store installed. It's the same thing with Gmail.
If you search for Gaps (Google Apps) you can download them all in one go. Unzip and install the apk's.

Huawei phones have great hardware and bad software. The fingerprint reader was and still is the fastest on the market. I wouldn't get a Huawei again though due to locked Bootloader and locked everything.
