[APP] Google Maps 4.4.0 [Request]

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.

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 there, I also can't do the update to google maps 5.40 :-(
I already post the problem in a german forum, but there is no one else, who got any problems with the update so far.
I decide to contact Acer tomorrow and I hope they got a solution for this.
Maybe it has something to do with the different versions of the rom.
By the way my Build Version is Acer_A500_1.107.01_EMEA_CU7
I also find out, that my version of google maps is very old. I got the version 5.20 on my tablet :-(

It's a really stupid question but did you hit the update button? Not the one over the apps in the left side but under the open, somewhere in the middle.

Hi there
Yes of course did I hit the update button ;-)
But it won't finish the installation successfull :-(
I also got an Samsung I9000 and I tried to exchange the maps.apk on the A500 with the new one from the smartphone, but unsuccessfull.
First I renamed the maps.apk into mapsold.apk on the tab and copied the file from the I9000 into the system/app folder, but the A500 still
starts the old one. Really strange.
When I moved the file mapsold.apk to the external sd-card, the app icon disapeared in the app list and this ist more strange.
I give up for this time and will contact acer and ask them to solve this problem.
I hope the can explain it to me...
Good night....

it's possibly because of where the original APK for google maps is located. A possible workaround (please backup your google maps APK) is to:
1. Enable root access on your tablet
2. Download root explorer
3. Using root explorer, delete the google maps APK file from the system/app directory
4. Using the Google market download google maps - it should allow you to install it now into user memory space

i could now successfully update! The problem was i was just having 200 Mb left on sd card...dunno why this was not inogh...i deleted some movies now i have around 4 Gb left and update succeed!

Hi, I tried it under root. I delete the original file with rootexplorer and installed google maps again from the market. The installation still failed :-(
I wrote an email to acer support and i'm waiting for an answer.
Maybe something is wrong with my tab or with the rom.
Wish all of you a nice weekend

and with this one i cannot connect to the google server
to listen to my music in streaming...
now i tryed to install the last version 4.1.511 from the apk

Google Music is currently only available in the United States

yes i know,
i had login behind a usa proxy
i need to know just how upgrade google music having the apk...

To upgrade, you will need to clear the data from the application (in settings) and also the cache. Completely uninstall the old version. Then install the latest Apk. It will go through the whole process of syncing your account all over again after you install it. This is the only way I have been able to get it working right for my tablet (Archos), because its not supported by Google apps. Should work.

I need new gapps

Hi ever one dose any one got a link for the new google play gapps
Sent from my HTC using XDA

gapps are dependent on your os. if you flash gapps with the market so long as it has the market updater (pretty much all do) then after you go into the market the market will change into the play store
hope im not missing your question

oh c'mon, you have a Google Phone, Google it!
anyhow, this is a link for the Google Playstore 3.5.16 apk
http://lts.cr/Bhcf
This is the best you can get for what you asked.
Edit: as in the post above demkantor stated, you don't have a ROM name, I have no idea what else to give you

Yep, just open old Market, accept ToC, close market, then open it again and it will inform you that the market was changed to Google Play. Accept ToC again and thats all :]

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?

Wow. Thanks a bunch.
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.

yessss!!!! thank you!

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.

Thanks a lot! I was wondering how to achieve that...what a great work.

How do I install this app? I'm unrooted and on 4.3 so this ota contained the latest maps already I can't go back by uninstalling the update n if I try to install it just says application not installed
