[Q] Updated Google Maps - Kindle Fire General

So what needs to be done to the New version of maps (6.0.3) to install on my rooted kindle. I've been using it with gps tether and it works great, but I would like to have the most current version.
The newest version came across my phone yesterday, I sent the apk to the kindle and no dice. I guess there is some code that needs adjusting?

The newest version is 6.1.0. 6.0.3 worked fine on Kindle Fire, I just updated to 6.1.0, it works but seems to be "off" I keep getting popup boxes with no text. I did uninstall the previous version before installing the new version - maybe that will help?

my mistake on the version number... So where did you get this gmaps 6.1 apk from?

They have it here
http://apknew.com/google-maps-6-1-0-apk.html

thanks yall, perhaps uninstalling was they key, perhaps using this apk was it too. Anyway I'm fully updated.
Thanks

Still no location data from wifi.

Market Flash version not optimized for Tegra 2?

Hey, just happened to be browsing Phandroid and saw an article that the Market version of Flash should NOT be installed on the Atrix because it's not optimized for Tegra 2 and the preinstalled version on the phone is... of course, that was on the list of things downloaded on day 1 not realizing that Flash was apparently already on the phone. Should I uninstall the market app? And if I do, will that restore the phone to the built in "optimized" version... or will i lose Flash all together. Currently Flash works on the phone. (I verified that the Market version of Flash does indeed have a message on the "What's new" tab stating it shouldn't be installed on the Atrix)
My friend did this day one too. He fixed it by factory reset. now he gets 60fps flash on many websites... I'm seething with jealousy. (Atrix in the mail)
This is quite interesting, i don't remember installing flash from the market on my phone, but when i search for it, it says it's already installed. I'm doing a factory reset now to see if flash is on there to begin with or if i did infact install it from the market once
Damn. When I got my Atrix I installed all my apps through the Android Market from my PC...including Flash(apparently?). Don't want to do a factory reset so I'll just wait for a fix.

Let us know what version comes preloaded on the phone
I finished my factory reset.
Under "my apps" in the market, flash is not listed. However, if i search for flash in the market it says installed.
I'm an android newb and I hate flash so I know that I did not install it. However, it is IS installed on the phone: version 10.1.120.10.
It doesn't show up with the rest of the programs though. You have to go:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Flash
Do we know if there's an easy way to roll back to that version?
I do believe that if you installed the flash from the market you may be able to use uninstall updates from the manage applications menu.
Not sure though.
Just looked it up on the market and found this in the description:
It SHOULD NOT be installed on devices/tablets with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 super chip including the LG Optimus 2X, Dell Streak 7 and Motorola ATRIX. The pre-installed version of Flash Player is optimized for Tegra 2. Future updates will include these optimizations.

I believe I may be in the same boat as those who have the version from the market... would be much appreciated if anyone has a method for restoring the original version that was installed with the phone.
Did a bit of searching and it seems the Tegra 2 version has been leaked. The version available in the market is 10.1.106.16. The Tegra 2 version should be 10.1.120.10. I've downloaded the leaked Tegra 2 version from the link provided below and tested it out. As far as I can tell, it runs as it should. I'd still like to get the version originally included with the phone if possible, but the leaked version may be a decent alternative for the time being.

As warned on the site: Use at your own risk.
I have the Tegra version 10.1.120.10 installed and I don't even can install the market version because it says it is already installed. So where is the problem?
Has anyone tried uninstalling the market version to see what happens?
I removed the update, and now I have no flash...
Well, you can download the market version or download the leaked tegra 2 version I posted above. I haven't had any issues with the leaked version for the tegra 2 so I don't think it's anything to worry about. Definitely going to download the market version again when they release the version built for the tegra 2 though.
I just uninstalled the market version...which totally removed flash from my phone... I then installed the Tegra 2 version from the link above... worked smoothly, no problems (as far as i know!)

Android Market

I've been searching all over the tubes of the internet for a way to force my wife's evo shift 4g to update her age old market app. She's running 2.3.4 (whereas my rooted EVO 4g is running 3.4.something). I've tried many methods for rooting her phone but has so far been unsuccessful.
Is there a way I can force her market app to update to the latest version? Can someone with a stock evo shift 4g tell me their version of the market?
I would greatly appreciate it. TIA.
Well if you want the latest Android Market 3.4.4. I've attached it below .
I've also wondered this, is there a way to actually force the market app to update. I know I can just install the new apk, but it seems weird for the market to not auto update itself sometimes, and for there not to be a way to force it to update.
Never tried to Force an Update. Always found it easier to just update via the newest apk release.
Most markets don't auto update from what i've seen. My dads market is still the really old one and so is a couple of my friends
Couldn't force an update on her phone but I was able to install the attached apk. Thanks for the link!
My market never use to update itself and then one day it just started updating itself for no reason at all. But only on rooted roms. Now I'm always getting the updates before people even post them as seperate apk's. A lot of times I won't even notice that it updated itself lol. If I restore my non-rooted ruu rom it won't update itself. Very strange.

[Q] How to get latest K1 ROM

I am running the last nightly (10.1 20130810) of Keshemme's that is available on the Goo website. I understand that he has released a new ROM and it is on CyanogenMod's website. I created a log in on Cyanogenmod's website and it tells me to "Please login to your device using your CyanogenMod Account to register it." I'm not sure how to do this?
Keshemme also said it is available using OTA updater. I have tried this on the K1 under: Settings - About tablet - Cyanogen Updates It does not find any updates available. Help? I must be really dense as I can't figure this one out.
Thanks,
Lamar

I went to the play store and found OTA Updater. When I tried to load it I found it was already on my tablet. I don't remember loading it, so I'm not sure if it was part of the previous ROMs loaded on my machine or if I just don't recall adding it as an app. Anyway, I ran the OTA updater and it found Keshemme's latest ROM. I copied it to my SDcard and used recovery to install it.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Thanks,
Lamar
The latest K1 works great!
Now that I have the new ROM installed my tablet is running great. The last two nightly ROMs I had used caused me problems with typing. There would be a delay when you would click on a field before the keyboard would pop up. Then another delay after I would type a character or two. The latest ROM has fixed that issue for me. Thanks, Keshemme for all your hard work and keeping the K1 a great tablet.

Update: 13.3.2.4_user_324002120 able to sustain root AFAIK

I grabbed my kindle this morning to find that it had updated and I had lost root. I'm not sure if my device had restarted but I was able to regain root by running towelroot. HDXposed appears to be functioning again but some of my apps are acting a little jittery after the sudden loss of root. (Fixed by clearing cache)
I don't have much more information atm though.
[Update]: My kindle automatically rebooted shortly after posting the above information. Luckily I didn't lose root afterwards. I had to reinstall google play and google services but everything has been running smooth since.

[Q] Isis with root (accidentally updated)

Accidentally updated all my apps and killed Isis. Now I get the dreaded "Isis will not work on a rooted device". I tried the Isis root joderme, but none of the versions are getting the app running. Anyone have a solution or an older version of Isis they could upload?
Im on T-Mobile, Galaxy S5, Stock rom 4.4.2
i'm in the same boat. if anyone could upload an older version of the apk, that would be freaking awesome.

Hey just with a searching I found rootcloak via xposed did the job (either Google rootcloak or search within the modules. I can't post links). I installed the module, uninstalled and reinstalled isis (not sure if necessary), made sure to add the isis app for good measure, rebooted phone and voila
