Mostly, this is a problem with the app developer not coding their apps correctly. Try contacting the dev from the app see if your device is compatable!

I noticed that the Google Maps Live wallpaper is no longer part of the options on Froyo.
Does anyone know how to get it on there or any news about it?
This happened on an update.zip upgrade from DI18 to EB13 on multiple phones.
Also looking for it
I'm also looking for it. Please update if you find it.
In the meantime, you can use this alternative:

Also, in this thread people are also looking for this wallpaper.
Thanks for the links. I tried the one you suggested and it just force closes everyone I try to load it. Oh well, the quest continues.
Thanks again for the help.

Who is "they" and how do I activate this on my phone? I have never been able to find out how even though once in a while I come across a reference to "Google Maps Live Wallpaper" on the interwebz. Can't find it on the market. Can't find it as an option in Google Maps. Can't find in in my wallpaper picker.
Any further explanation would be appreciated.

'They' would be GOOGLE (thought that was obvious, but maybe not). Your phone and Android version must support 'live wallpapers'. I think it started at 2.2. If it does, when you go to WALLPAPERS from home screen there will be a LIVE WALLPAPERS choice.
Until a recent GOOGLE MAPS update, if you have GOOGLE MAPS installed, MAPS would appear on the WALLPAPER/LIVE WALLPAPERS list. It started appearing there many iterations of G Maps ago.
I got all excited today when another update for G Maps popped up, thinking maybe they had accidentally left it off the last one and were updating to fix... no such luck.
I am back to using Advanced Map, which does a FORCE CLOSE everytime you boot phone, but after that works fine.

Can you not roll back the update in the application manager?

I am trying to get older version now. Will check the 'roll back' angle, but found website with them.

6.0.1 didn't do it, trying 5.8.0 next
I just tried the "uninstall updates" method. It only went back 1 version, and did not restore the wallpaper function.
They mustve removed it a few versions back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK, now I am wondering WTF. 5.8.0 no go either and it was working on my phone just a few days ago.
I just got a 'certified like new' warranty replacement and am running GB where my old phone was still on FROYO. I am starting to suspect that may have something to do with this.
I did manage to restore my fascinate to state it was before warranty exchange, Blackhole 4.4, a Froyo rom. Goolge maps was 6.xxx and the wallpaper was woring. Am now back on GB rom and it is not on available list of love wallpapers...
i just don't get it.
Just got my Nexus 10 and I am really annoyed with the way the Play Store is working on it. Apps only show their permissions instead of the description as to what the app does, changelog, pics, etc that one would normally see. Anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it? Tried deleting all of the data from the Play Store but issue prevails.
they changed the UI, which I agree with you, it's stupid. Anyways you can get to the description if you click on the area above all the permissions.

It's just a UI change. You have to tap on the picture of the area where the logo/name and install/uninstall buttons are. I hate it. It's even worse now with the new Play Store update... a similar issue is now present on the N4 and N7 for me. Especially annoying when an app has an update and you have go to a separate screen to find out what the update contains...
wow, yeah, that is annoying
After some tinkering, finally I was able to add Google account on Kindle Fire HDX and have Gmail working. Chrome also works with Sign-in but not YouTube. Google+ doesn't seem to work at all. I tried various version of Google+ with no luck. Instructions are in the link below.

I thought Google+ was being phased out for Hangouts?
It's too bad YouTube has yet to work on this tablet. I love it, but I can live without it on the HDX. I have other devices that do have YouTube.

To be correct, YouTube does work on the Kindle HDX and even Chromecasting. It just won't let me add my account to it.
Oh good! I don't care about adding my account, as long as I can search and watch! :thumbup:

Any ideas on getting Hangouts going? I tried installing, but everytime I open it it wants to update play services to a newer version.

Apps that require Play Services are not working. I have not gotten Google+ to work and not surprisingly Play Store doesn't work either. I did get Google Search and Google Now to work though.

That makes sense, thanks. Voice works as well, I loaded it after following your directions for gmail and it came right up.
I ever met the same problem, but it became normal without doing nothing.
Remove account
Anyone have an idea of how to delete an account once added? I tried the app "quick settings" but it crashes on the HDX. I ended up using an uninstall app to remove Google Account manager and when reinstalled they were gone, but was wondering if anyone had found a way to access the account manager itself?
Hi there
I got my Mate 8 yesterday (installed Google Now immediately) and so far a excellent phone!
But... something I noticed is that all Google apps like Play Books, Play Music etc. use the old app icons. Same thing with Instagram.
The phone and all apps are updated.
Does anyone know why and how to fix this. It's not a big problem but still...
Thanks for helping!

My Build number ends with B152. Does that mean there is an update? My phone doesn't say there is.
I live in Norway by the way, but that shouldn't matter I guess.
