Google Map Free voice Navigation in non supported country
Must Read before install
This is same as you having stock google map application, but here in this application there won't have restriction to use navigation in certain country. (Thanx to Ownhere n Brut All)
How to Install :
First I am showing you some basic things, read it carefully to avoid installation failure
There are different types of files for installation, you have to Install any of One only,
What is difference between different method?
Nothing, all are installing same application, but the method of installation is different.
Tyes :
1. No installation need
2. resigned
3. changepnp
First two types requires ROOT,
Why root is needed ?
First two types of files actually replacing stock google map, stock map is a system application, here Root is needed to uninstall stock application. System application cant be uninstall without Root
While third type don’t reuires Root
Why so? B’coz third application not replacing your stock map, when you install third type, after installation you will get double icon each for latitude, Map, place and navigation. When you have to use it for navigation to restricted country, you have to use newer application, stock application still works as it is.
Now Exact instruction for installation.
For Type 1 .
You need Root,
- Uninstall map with system appl remover or titanium backup (or whatever support syst app removal). Before un installation you need to remove cache n clear data .(setting – application – all – Map – clear cache n data)
- Uninstall street view if you have installed
- Now use root explorer, n copy file maps.apk (download type1 n rename maps.apk) and place into system/app directory
- Change permission rw r r
- Restart device
You can see map installed to your device, now you can install street view from market
For Type 2 :
You need Root,
- Uninstall map with system appl remover or titanium backup (or whatever support syst app removal). Before un installation you need to remove cache n clear data .(setting – application – all – Map – clear cache n data)
- Uninstall street view if you have installed
- Now you can install map.resigned.apk as routine way you install other applications.
If you get error application not install, then install it from market, repeat all steps mentioned above. Many time it may need to clear cache 1-2 time
For type 3 :
Easiest, nothing technique requires, just install map.changepnp.apk as routine application and you are ready to Navigate..
For Type 4
Copy file to SD card, and flash with CWM, doesn't work with stock recovery.
Note : In case of type 1 n 2, you will still gets update from market when newer version released, If you update it, World navigation. will be lost.
This Navigations requires active data connection.Yes U can pre cache map area with wifi before travelling to reduce data consumption but still it need data connection.

I had the same problem as you. My solution was used Zarchive to unzip it and put Maps.apk in a safe folder. Used root explorer to copy Maps.apk into /system/app and set permission. Once done, reboot and it will worked for you.

*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0
12/23/2010:
v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

Archos 101

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

google maps.... have navigation enabled only in u.s.a and neighbours.
this is a modded google maps 5.2.1 app that would enable navigation WORLDWIDE including INDIA . and thus you wont need any other navigation app.
and undoubtedly google maps are the best maps available for android ,iphone, windows etc.
as google maps have already updated to offline maps support...
i have personally tried the mod in india and works very well...
other modded gmaps are older versions but this one is new..
INSTRUCTIONS:
download and extract the .apk
1. install titanium backup.
2. in titanium backup, go to apps and wipe data for maps(i.e official maps).
the mod wont work if data is not wiped..
3. after wiping data, you can also clear cache. so that nothing of original maps is there..
4. now uninstall the maps using titanium backup .
5. you may perform a reboot (though worked for me without reboot).
6. now install the moded maps.
7. again you may try reboot if not working (worked for me without reboot)
and you are done....

I'm getting application not installed problem too. I'm using the JPM ROM. If I install it through ADB it gives me [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
I removed data + cahce of old maps and then uninstalled with abslute system root..
This'd be awesome if it worked, any workaround for this?
on kyrillos' 2.3 (JPF) works just fine
So this most likely is a problem related with JPM.
I also cannot push anything to /system/app, even after remounting (I get a 'permission denied').
Thanks for the file though. Now I only need to wait for always root kernel for this rom

It is because the adb in JPM is locked... You cave to unlock it or put a custom kernel

Hello there.
I recived a brand new ViewPad 7e (the lowcost tab from ViewSonic) yesterday. Everything works fine (or, almost fine for that price...), but the 7e come without AndroidMarkets (nor Gmail apps, Google Account etc...). It's possible to use alternat market, but I'm looking to use the original one (and, most important, to set up a google account synchronysed with calendar) anyone got an idea to install that ? (I tried some trick for Archos etc... but nothing seems to work atm).
If somone got an idea... thanks in advance
My guess would be that it's missing the gapps framework, you can try installing the architecture independant gapps package from CM7, which "should" work.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Well, it worked by installing the gapps manually, the last point will be to put the market 3.1.3 or so (for the moment I only have th old one), thx again for your help.
Where can I find how to install gapps manually
you said it's possible, where can I find the steps to install it manually?

Guys, cm7 market would not work for our devices as it doesnot meet the criteria for having google market. Yes is ironic but for now we have to rely on the market we have. We have to wait till someone make cm7 work forr our viewpad.
there's a way but i need to translate it because its in chinese i got it it on mine
charlies1112, if you can, it would be really nice to explain how you did it.

This all worked perfectly on my Viewpad 7e with one small issue when copying the 3 .apk files to the /system/app folder, make sure they are not a 0kb size. If they are just recopy them over and overwrite the files and it should copy correctly with a valid size.
The market wont have allot of apps since the device doesn't support the market natively, so I did a few tricks to get most of my apps on to the Viewpad 7e. You will need to have access to a second Android devices to do the following.
1) Install File Expert (free in the market) on your second Android device
2) Open File Expert and go to My Apps and select the apps you want to install on your Viewpad 7e, then click Backup on the bottom menu. This will creat the .apk files to install on your Viewpad 7e and put them on your SD card.
3) Copy the .apk files from SD card to your Viewpad 7e
4) Open a file manager on your Viewpad 7e and install your apps.
Most apps will work ok but some will bug out and you might be forced to reboot the viewpad 7e (press and hold the power button until it powers off)
If you use Titanium Backups it will install and allow you to restore apps and data, but be warred this will not work 100% so only use it to restore the data not the apps.
Note: If your app was installed on your SD card when your backup was done when you restore the data it will make the app unlaunchable. This should be fine if you move the app to SD card before restoring the data.
Here is a list of my working apps on my Viewpad 7e
aLogcat
androidVNC
Angry Birds (all 3)
Blogger
Chrome to phone
Coin Dozer
Google Docs
Documents To Go
Facebook and Messenger
File Expert
Gmail
Google+ and Messenger
Google Maps, Latitude, Places
MarketEnabler
Google Reader
Root Explorer
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup (debugging error and hangs on restoring some apps)
Google Translate
Twitter (acted odd on first run and needed to reboot, opened fine after)
Vplayer
My Country
The Sims 3
Pocket Legends
Star Legends
Youtube
Order and Chaos
I will add more apps to the list as I test them.
Update 1:
I upgraded the firmware manually since when I tried OTA it wouldn't find my wireless connection (even thou it was connected and surfing).

I was able to install the new play store and it works great. Im still getting an error about no space to install app's but I think that's something to do with my build.prop
About the no sufficient place, i get to overcome it by deleting apps and left with 132mb free. Then i retry download and install it works

Hey,
at first thx for the great HOWTO. Everything worked fine for me. The only thing that also bothers me is the memory problem as often mentioned before.
Perhaps its good to know that I'm from Germany and have a branded Device from strato . But before I began with your instructions I installed the official update FV70_VSEI_S_W_C_11252011 so everything should normally worked.
The only thing that makes me curious is that the widget of the apps that were preinstalled by strato are still there. Is there a possibilty that you have to clear the dalvik oder whatsoever cache before the market works without memory problems?
Go to the link, update to 28112011 file. Root it and instal
The market. I have no problems downloading apps from google play but if you see apps that are writtem not compatible, you have to download from one mobile market

The probleme is not that there is no space on device, but that there is no space in "/cache"
The easy workaround is copying /cache/recovery elsewhere on your SDcard or device (to back it up) and deleting it from /cache/
After that everything work fine ...
NB : If you want to restore factory settings, don't forget ... recopy the recovery directory in /cache
It won't brick because there's bootloader that let you reboot with actual settings or loading an update.
NB2 : I haven't had time for now but there's a 2GB unused partition... let's see ...
Ot;
I followed every Point and was able to move the Cache link to sd-Card.
My question goes to the developers. Is there any work on custom Rom eG bootloader or Even cm Mod?i tried to theme it but with no succsess.
Please dev's. Dont forget us viewpad 7e Users.
Since ViewSonic has no clue what adb is I gave this tablet to my kid since that's what this tablet is "A TOY". I will no longer be dealing with this tablet or company and have purchased a ASUS TF300T and will start developing for that tablet.
Hello guys
I'll explain here how to stop Google Play Store/Services from updating itself as the self update function draining the battery, using the data plan and reducing the free storage space.
There is a similar method but unfortunately that method doesn't work on android 5.1.1.
Instructions:
1. Uninstall all of the installed Google Play Store/Services updates through app info.
3. Install root file manager.
2. Navigate to /data/app.
3. Create 2 empty files.
4. Rename those files to "com.google.android.gms-1" and other one to "com.android.vending-1" (their permissions would be 0600)
That's it updates are gone
Hit thanks if I helped
Work on Android 7.1.1 ?
Hello, work this trick on Android Nougat ?
Thx
If you do that you can't sign in with Google so you need to sign in first but it works so far.

It's only a temporary fix as the Play Store automatically updated today and I had to uninstall the update.
