[Q] Latest Google Earth apk?

For many of us, applications such as google earth are not viewable in the marketplace [still not sure why after so long!!!!!]. Could anyone post up the latest google earth apk?
Regards....

Here you go mate, updated this morning. Btw until today i too could not see Earth in the market, but this latest version showed up. Perhaps you could give this QR a try just for sport..

I can safely say that after scanning the QR, it still says no google earth in the marketplace. Google really needs to sort this!
and thanks for the apk This the latest one with the sea stuff on?

I also recomment everybody updating to the latest google earth version as it will allow you to install it to SD (finally!) on 2.2 off course.

won't install
Hi guys,
Any ideas on why my non-rooted desire on T-mobile UK will not allow google earth to be installed on it? I've tried several different .apk files and still no joy, just says 'Application not installed'
any help will be appreciated

are you on 2.2 or 2.1?

2.1 - still waiting for Tmob to pull the trigger - have tried the .apk above and the previous ver 1.0 of earth & neither will install. It's the only apk i've come across that won't install, car dock, 3d gallery etc all worked fine.

Aarrggghhh!!!
Have had no problems installing the old version of google earth but like alot of people couldnt find the new version on marketplace ! have tried to manually install the new version but keep getting the dreaded not installed message any solutions ?!? Non rooted HTC Desire on yucky orange ! 2.1 (because orange are slow as hell with the 2.2 update!! will it not work with 2.1? thanks guys!

FINALY
I was looking for this app for a while since is not available in my country either.
Thx a lot

I am not able to install this either. It kinda just hangs on the "Installing" part, then fails.

Looks like it wont work on 2.1 at all..... Just seems ridiculous anyway that the app is only available to some regions and others have to dload the apk from a 3rd party
Again I ask, how do we contact google to ask them this? I can't find a link anywhere....

Sure they will hear you... no way they can listen, no way to 'contact' them, perhaps showing up on their building and having a rant and may be, may be, they will not laugh at you... it useless relax and keep searching

cant see it at all on the market place ...
saying that I have street view etc

poor in my view if there is noway to contact the company who's operating system you use and who's marketplace you use.

i almost... like i facepalmed over this whole thread.. it doesn't show up in the marketplace on your device because YOUR DEVICE (or ROM) 'doesn't support' it.

Hey guys,I'm running a rooted CDMA HTC Hero200 running Android 2.3.4 from CyanogenMod. I'm about to try install the new GoogleEarth.apk today and I'll let you know how it goes. I don't know about you guys but I google searched it. I also found a GoogleEarthv1.2.1.apk,has anybody else found this at all and would that version be any newer than the 1.1.1? Just some thought as I'm sitting here wondering. Well...I'll let you guys know how it goes.
OK,I answered my own question. The Google Earth does not show up in android market on the CDMA Hero200. The version 1.2.1 is the newest version and I installed it on my phone and it will not run and just FC. another user brought up the fact it's because the Hero runs on an Arm6 processor. Anyways...just thought I would give my .002 on the subject. Hopefully one day we will have a good Google Earth app that works for more devices(wouldn't that be nice,leave it to Google!) Good luck everyone in your journey with Google Earth on your Desires!

Does anyone have any experience with the rom? any better than what we already have on the thunderbolt?
damn cant wait to have this phone rooted with clockwork so that i can test **** out and then restore...

I flashed this and haven't noticed any changes yet. Definately no skype. I'll report back in a day or so if i notice any changes

Any alternate links to this RUU?
My ISP is blocked "403 forbidden". Hate Comcast.

Well, this might not be big to anyone else, but this update has a significant fix as far as I'm concerned: L2TP IPSec VPN connections would not work with the ROM that shipped on the phone.
It works now!
Thank you SO much!

Still 403 forbidden on this link as well :/

The alt download link will be a temporary link based off your session.
Just go to the Chinese web site and click on the link that, when you hover over it, says something like "...[P05IMG]Mecha...".
I don't mean to scare anyone, but I just need to put this out there because it would simply kill me if someone else suffered because of my inaction:
If the download isn't 400MB then cancel it immediately - do not run it. No joke, I was literally passing out at my computer a month ago downloading one of the earlier T-Bolt RUUs and accidentally downloaded the 115 installer or something. My laptop touchpad was sensitive so I accidentally ran the installer. About a week later I started getting my keys logged and a Gmail account deleted (that I have gotten back thanks to a contact at the company). This can't be a mere coincidence.
It's not a major concern - just click the link in the area that one fellow poster demonstrated in a post on the last page. That's the link you want to click - do not click any others and you'll be fine.

Was just a matter of time before someone would build a malicious version of the image with some crap in it. Kinda funny sometimes how we're all anal about security but we trust an image from a chinese website.

It's simply not possible to flash anything but signed images until you have s-off (perm root). In other words, if this flashes properly, it's real. If you want to understand why, read up on asymmetric cryptography and PKI.

dialpad fix for SFM1.1

Hi All,
This is my first post on XDA and first attempt on android development/porting
I have corrected the SFM1.1 rom port dialer issue in HtcDialer.apk (must admit that it is just trial and error method)
(Sorry I am still not allowed to add attachment or post links )
_http: / / i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i349/nrk193/Phone_fix.png
Pls let me know if anyone is interested in testing it.
Regards,
Nitin

Hi, why don't you post your mod? (Upload to some site and post as h**p - Like your screenshot)
I am sure you will find several testers for it.
Good Luck with your modding

Hi,
Thanks for the reply...
Yes that is good idea, but as I said this is my first APP and there is no major change I dont want to release it as the new ROM.
I want to post it in the development thread but dont have permission to do that

Make a flashable zip with just the new dialer, it shouldn't be difficult.
For posting in the Dev Zone, you are going to have to make 10 posts. (No way around this unfortunately). But, this is something that doesn't take time at all. Look at me - Not a dev and still 2500+ posts.

Hi could you please give a link to the .apk file for me to test in the SFM rom and add it into it since I am continuing the rom now.
If you cannot give a link I will get in contact with you and pass on my email address for you to send it to me.

Google News & Weather working. Need Root.

Its very easy to get the new Google News & Weather app working on the Nexus 5, all you need is root and a root enabled file explorer. First off, youre going to need to use that root file explorer to ho and uninstall/delete the Google News & Weather widget. It should be found in /ststem/app/. Then youll need to reboot. Now download and install the Google News & Weather app. After this, it should be working. Oh, btw, heres the apk http://goo.gl/Iivbtc

Actually like the app. Its like a condensed version of Google Now. Thanks braaahhh

I just install it normal like other apps.

cool. many told me that it wasnt working on the n5

Yeah it works fine on Mahdi ROM. Just installed as normal APK. No need to remove the widget already installed. Thanks Simms.

it says its compatible with all my devices, 3 nexus and a sgs4. none of them see it except the sgs4. but installed it on all of them

just showed up in my play store app.

Unless you won't make a clean flash WITHOUT any 3rd party app that's not part of the rom, nobody can help you.
Check your apps 1 by 1,thats the only method.
Install GlassFish app to determine the app who downloads those files if they have a size.
Edit: and tell us which app is causing that to warn others!

Googled and all answers are related to Google!
Most of them are saying those files are google backup files and downloaded by google apps, but the fact is google synchronises backups in background and does not by downloading .bin files!
If you are still running this system, check data usage and see if there is unusual data usage.
Also as above, strogst said for clean flash, i would also suggest you to do same to be safe from 3rd party app/malwares.
Also check your Google account, if it's storing anything in backup.

The same happened with me. I turned off data and deleted all .bin files that were being downloaded. There hasn't been any more unknown downloads since.

I've been looking for an app that can tell which app has initiated the download, glad to know there's one, could you please point me to the GlassFish app. I looked but couldn't find it on playstore and searching on Xda brings up only the GlassFish governer profile.
TIA
