Navigation System in google Maps not available for my country? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Google Maps already installed on my SGS2 as you know but when I want to navigate, it says navigation not available for my country>>>saudi arabia...
What can I do to have navigation for my country? I searched this forum but didn't get anything or for some other smartphones.
I shall be thankful for help.

Just download and install the apk, you don't need root...
This doesn't unlock your original Maps but installs a different modified one that supports world wide navigation, so if you've got root you might wanna freeze the original Maps along with Navigation, Latitude and Places and install the apk with the modified ones.

Thanks a million hank00k for your reply.
I tried that apk but failed to install over the previous version. There is no method I found in that thread on how to install in un rooted devices?

Well I don't exactly remember which post I downloaded mine from but I guess there's a different version for non root users.
Here's the apk I use, give it a try

does anyone know why navigation is not available in most countries?
I mean, I used the method posted here, and it works great in my country, why is that I can't do it 'officially' and have to resort to a hack to do it?
do you know the reason?

TD app anyone please?

After rooting I cant see the TD app on the market anymore.
Can anyone please post the TD apk file somewhere so that I can install it directly?

It's an app for TD Canada Trust, a large bank here in Canada. Absolutely no use to anyone who does not have an account with them. Good app though, could be improved quite a bit, but I use it!
Thanks for posting I looked for a TD app before rooting and never could find one.
I couldn't find it either after root, but just run bin4ry's market fix, and it shows up...I don't feel like looking for it, but its somewhere on these forums.

I still couldnt find it after doing the market fix hence posted it here.
td bank .apk
Any chance that you can make that link available again? Trying to find the .apk file for the TD bank app. Thanks!!
td bank (Canada) apk
Yes, please! Can you make the APK link available again? It's a difficult one to find w/o a device that can be properly rooted.
Thanks
Strange, I've been rooted stock and many different ROMs, the TD app in all it's glory (okay, maybe not glory) is always available to me. Sounds like a market version issue (region perhaps).

That's exactly the reason I can't locate it, my wife has a Chinese (dropad) and the firmware version she likes won't root at all so I'be been installing all the apps I can't get on market manually. This is the only one I haven't been able to obtain.

[APP]Google books from market on atrix

Hey guys, i wanted to install the google books app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.books&feature=search_result
on my atrix and i cant find it in the market from the atrix (used market enabler to no avail), i even tried from the above android market link to install it from there over the google account but it simply wouldnt install... so my question is if anyone has the app installed and/or if there is a method to install it manually? (im using it on a cyanogenmod 7.0.3 nook color without a problem...)
Try the attached file and let me know. Similar happened to me with groupon and paypal.

Try this Fix Permissions app.
caught me slipping there forgot to ask if he had restored a backup from Titanium or something, if so you can also fix permissions with root tools, recovery (i think) or using the app recommended by Wired.
no thers no titanium in game .... might be cuz im in Slovenia, but that shouldnt be a problem with market enabler than ... thanks for the help tho. uhm for instance i cant install this app:

I want that app too!! No, you wont be able to install Google Body on anything that doesnt run Honeycomb. Right now only a few tablets have HC. When Ice Cream Samach comes out it will be available on both phones and tablets; merging Gingerbread and Honeycomb. Your on Froyo. F G H I
Edit: what you need to do is sign in when your browsing the market through a browser. It will then let you know if the app is available on your device. THEN you will be able to download apps through the browser (if they "work" on your phone).

[Q] Is there a 'market enabler' for the new market?

Hi, so I have Market Enabler installed and for some reason it doesn't seem to work on the new market. Also, cf3d's 'open market' seem to have no effect either.
Is something broken? Anyone knows of a market enabler that works with the new market? Thank you!
We need a market enabler that works with 3.0.27
It will be made, its just a matter of time. Im very interested in this too, I had to rollback to the old market because of this.

I got it!
Download the attached file.
You will find Market 2.3.6 (april 2011) and follow the instructions file.
Now I return to this version of Market which is fully compatible with Market Enabler!
Tested in a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Yes we know it works with the old market. What we need is a market enabler for the 3.0.27 version of the market.

You should be able to get free apps. Only problems with market enabler is actually buying apps. So, roll back and reupdate or something.

I also tried the Flamingo's advice, but also no changing the search results.

Did you clear all data / cache? for Market? then emulate on boot a new provider and reboot. I am using it ever since the new market was released and it works.

Did the same on a Optimus 2x and it didn't work.
I had to uninstall the market update and MarketAccess works as advertised.
Cheers!
This thread should probably be in the general section rather than under SGS II.
I am also using the old market but instead of using an APK I simply uninstalled the update for market from 'manage applications' to go to the old market. Also had to uninstall the market updater system app using Titanium otherwise it updates automatically. Very irritating.
+1 for a solution for the new market since I have to do this every time I change ROMs (which is often). However, the new market is ugly as anything. The waste of screen real estate is appalling!

If you are rooted, you can download market enabler from play store. It should allow you to download your app

I'm trying to download the LockView Lockscreen app aswell in the UK. I tried market enabler and set the market to US T Mobile. However I still get a message saying 'This Item Cannot Be Installed In Your Country'. Ive cleared thr data/cache aswell couple of times. PlZ help????
No answer ... but
Same here in Australia. GPlay website says not compatible with any of my devices, and details say not available for download in my country.
Odd thingis that I also can't find the app on the developer's website.
Jacko
Available soon in UK
I emailed the dev, & they replied in minutes:
'Hi,
thank you for your interest!
Opened it for UK now,
you should be able to download it as soon as Google servers process it.
Usually takes about 30 min.
Would love to hear your feedback'
Now THAT is a Friday shirt.
Awesome to see support like that!
Thank u so so much uinmack..... downloaded now..... i will post some feedback on how the lockscreen is... Thanx again

Using root explorer or any other explorer go to /data/app and copy the apk file for any app you share and upload it here. (You must be rooted)

Yes, that is true, but APKs that cannot be found on google play is usually uploaded on aptoide. Its morals, and anyone with morals would support the developer and purchase their app.. Not to say i have not downloaded any paid apps without paying for them, but i definitely have donated and purchased apps that have saved my ass such as speedview when my speedo was not working.
I uses ad away it uses less battery

Offline? You need to download app for phone and browse/install apps from it. Suppose its online! The same app as google play.
I dont see any offline .apk links for PC. The only offline .apk rep I know is f-droid.org

Adblock Plus is available from the Amazon Store, why not just download it from there?
https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
So, this [Adblock Plus for Android] will block annoying adds inside apps?
Is it recommended to also use the Adblock verion specifically for Firefox if you have this version installed?
Any issues using this alongside Android Firewall (besides the obvious one of needing to add Adblock to the whitelist so that it can download it's block list)?
Two other apps I'd recommend to anybody reading this thread: greenify and wakelock detector.
