I have a rooted stock room with TWRP. Using GoLauncher. Have complete access to the Android market.
I've heard some people talk about Google Maps on their Fire, but it doesn't seem to be available. I know we have no GPS or cellular data, but that doesn't stop you from running Google Maps.
Anyone?
You can use Google Maps without GPS but normal location obviously doesn't work.
You can use GPSTether to get location information which works fine if you have the server on your Droid phone.
As for obtaining the app, you can get it from the GAPPS file off the CM site instead of installing it from the market. Just search for GAPPS and you will find the link.
There is a link to where to get the Apk somewhere in this thread:

For those of us that are on "unique carriers" you may have noticed that your google maps gets stuck at version 5.0.0 and you can't find it on the market.
I have confirmed (via the web market) that google maps isn't supposed to be compatible with my carrier. The solution? I deleted the google maps .apk and rebooted, installed marketenabler, chose tmobile us and there it was on the phone's market ready to install
I think gmail also has this issue, but it is being included in some roms.
I have a MT15i (Neo), bought in China last month (build 3.0.A.2.181).
Unfortunately no Google applications were installed on the phone. No Market, no Search, no YouTube, no nothing from Google.
Since then I have downloaded several apk files for Google Search, Voice, Maps, Translate and Voice Search but I just can't get the Market, Gmail, CarHome and Talk Apps to work.
If I look into Setting-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All, then I nowhere can find "Google Services Framework" in the list. Am I right that I have to have that installed?
I've successfully rooted the phone a few days ago with Gingerbreak v1.1 (thanks Chainfire!). I downloaded "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip" from Cyogen's Wiki page, then tried to install the package with Rom Manager but that didn't work. I think it may be because the phone won't allow to boot into recovery.
Does anyone know how to install all the Google Apps on a rooted Neo/Arc?
Thanks

One best way is to flash your phone with one of available firmware here. You can always go to android only section of the forum and download stock files.
My wife has a stock G1 on T-Mobile running the latest OTA updates.
She has occasionally had some odd issues with Google Maps on her phone, and in the past, simply uninstalling the updates and re-installing the latest update from the Market has generally cleared things up.
So tonight, I uninstalled her Google Maps updates, however when I went to the Market to re-download and install the latest update for Google Maps, it was nowhere to be found.
So long story short, I performed a hard reset of her phone, and even still, Google Maps simply doesn't show up in the Market for me to download the latest update.
Now she is stuck with a really outdated version of Google Maps on her phone with no Google Navigation.
Any advice?
Sideload the apk onto the phone
try this lol not sure if will work but its worth a shot

The latest maps I think requires android 2.1 or greater.. anoying they don't let you get older versions.
As for re-installing a newer version of maps:
Maps v4.7
a) uninstall as you already have
b) Download file and place on your SD-Card, in settings->applications->Unknown sources, check it
c) Then install with oi file manager or similar app available on market by selecting the maps apk
d) if you do not generally wish non market apps to be able to install applications unckeck Unknown Sources.
You can alternativly download to a PC and install with 'adb install <maps.apk>' if debugging is enabled on the phone.
just had the same problem thanks adb worked
I recently flashed from SuperE to Dwang 1.6 mainly for quickness and Navigation and low and behold its not there! Seriously they should at least let you download the last compatible version.

Just flashed back to Super D myself and Terry as usual saves the day yet again, honest to god fella this place would crumble without you! Appreciate your time and effort mate.
I try to install goggle maps from android market it tells me your device is not supported. I downloaded Google maps apk and installed it. I thank its a older version and would like to download it from the market if nothing else for the auto update. any one have any suggestions thanks for reading my post.
i know there is a message about this earlier on, i've read it , but still i couldn't find the answer, ever since i've installed a rooted stock gingerbread on my htc desire z, everything seems to be working fine, however, i cannot find google apps, attempting to download it from the web site failed because it says it's not compatible with my phone.
By "google apps" do you mean Gmail, Market, Google Talk, etc? You may need to install the google apps separately like you have to do if you are using the Cyanogenmod ROM.
sorry, sorry, i meant google MAPS, just maps , and finally i used titanium backup, to-relink to the market, from the own , it was smooth sailing...
