Plants vs. Zombies is 70+ MB and I was able to install both it and NavFree. I understand that if every app were this big then you'd have problems, but if you can't install this, then it is equally likely that you have too many apps installed vs. a couple of apps that are too large. I would rather have a few good apps even if they're large than a phone full of small crap that adds up.

Looks like this only has maps for UK?
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Locus stores its maps as bitmaps, not vector graphics. That's OK for a city or two, but not for entire countries. It's not meant for turn-by-turn navigation either.

Try Navit. It stores maps as vector graphics.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
There is now a version for android 2.3. It looks like it only has Uk maps right now.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
Can't get Navit to download a map.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Downloading maps depends on the server on the other end of the line. It worked for me after a few attempts.

Navigation works too. The problem with Navit is that it renders maps slow as quicksand. But if you want a free offline navigator you don't have much choice.

Maybe some programmers on xda can port Nokia Maps to Android?
[Android Apps and Games] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
To download all of U.S.A. maps it almost 2GB Download. Most states are 40-50MB. hope that helps your decision.
[Android Apps and Games] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The only free option I'm aware of is OsmAnd, but to get it properly set up is a pain in the a**. For North America, you need 5GB of space, so unless you're using a 16GB MicroSD, I wouldn't recommend it. But I also admit that I am biased, in that I feel that at this time, stand alone GPS receivers (specifically Garmin) are still a better option than a smartphone solution. But that's a discussion I've already had at another site.

[Android Apps and Games] Visual360:

[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
The new Google Maps app lets you download map tiles for offline map browsing. Route calculation only works online.

Maybe true offline navigation will happen in an even newer Google Maps, but we aint there yet.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
You can download maps for offline viewing but the navigation app still requires that you be online. The location I was at and the location I was trying to navigate to are in the same tile I downloaded. When trying to use the navigation app it closes because there is no network connection.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
Will be trying ZANavi on monday when I can download the maps from a PC. Takes to long to download a gb of maps from my phone. I'm still looking for a good free offline navigation system.
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
me too. navdroyd etc work well enough for just plain maps but still leaves us without any kind of navigation tool.

Locus offers support for vector maps... ;)

[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
Last time I tried Locus maps the USA was to big for the sql database to handle (around 2gb). Also to big to download on a phone.
[Android Apps and Games] berkley:
I guess, these big 2GB files were not vector maps. Biggest vector map from USA is california, which has 453MB.

Why don't you try it? Everything is explained in the link provided above...

And as other users already suggested. Why don't you spend some money and get something that works the way you want?

Cheers, berkley

Locus free works just the way I want it bro, specially with the vector map support. :D

Navit is running great on my X10i. It's not really user friendly but working great. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] keinfilter:
I can't confirm that Navit works. It never finds any address, doesn't matter which map I previously downloaded and which street / city I enter in search field. Even partial search doesn't find anything.
[Android Apps and Games] blisslove:
Have you download your country or city full map?

Try to find like ----- country, city and street

Yes, I can't find some of my address either but it's a free offline navigation application. I can live with it.

Alternatively, search in google map and navigate in navit. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] ohgood:
Google navigation, provided you input your destinations while on wifi will cache the routes.
[Android Apps and Games] chris122380:
The problem with that is I'm not always around WiFi when needing to enter a new rout.

Free Osmand+ for download

Some back and forth ... hope this time the post stays here as it is a contribution and no push to buy action.

I first want to explain why I am posting here (because my previous replies have disappeared).

I post here because the thread is about free Android Navigation Apps and some of the users have mentioned Osmand.

Now I have shared with the XDA community a free Osmand+ (latest version) for using without any restrictions.

Osmand+ How to pick a destination

Hi chris122380,

Thank you for the question.

I will explain it in picture and text how you can pick a destination in Osmand+.

1. First point with your finger anywhere on the map screen, a point you would consider as destination.

Tap and hold until a small box appears (picture 1) that indicates "Point on map ...".

2.Then push with your finger that "Point on map" box and you will be directed to a menu (picture 2).

Push on the first option "Set as destination".

3.A "Finish flag" is displayed (with the previous box above it). To hide is push it continously until it disappears alone (picture 3).

4.Press the menu button on your Android phone (picture 4) and choose "Directions".

5.A menu appears to choose the modes of travel (car,bike,walking), that is on (picture 7).

6. If you like to search for a specific address you can go to the main menu of Osmand+ and choose "Search".

The second of the tabs is dedicated to address search (picture 6).

Choose desired Country, City and street ...

Let me know if the answer is satisfactory for you?

Best regards

04.A new menu appears where you can specify the needed resolution of the map, this is displayed by Zoom levels (Image 04). Tap download and wait until the map tiles are being downloaded.

Advice: To download bigger map areas, zoom out the map view and do the above steps.

Download offline data (Voice guidance, POI library for Countries etc.):

01.From the main menu of Osmand tap on "Settings"

02.Then tap on "Offline Data" (Image 05)

Hi all,

i am interested to buy this phone, but i dont have an xbox.

does this mean i cant play games on it or can i just download games and install them? like downloading a cab file and installing it the way im doing it on my wizard right now?

and are there any other things is should know about this phone?

help is much appreciated.
[Trophy General] pittphan:
There is no need for an xbox account. It really has nothing to do with WP7 at this point. You will have full access to xbox live titles as everyone else does; including thos who have xbox accounts.

I highly reccomend windows phone 7. It is the nicest OS and will ony get better when it gets updated later this year.

thanks for the reply mate, thats good to hear, i have always liked wp7 more than sense or ios.

then ill be getting this one.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dox583:
Hi everyone,

My 1st post so hope in right area.

After installing the 1.6.2 Remix on my rooted ThunderBolt I was delighted with everything except some old bloat still existing . . . and I thought majority of bloat would be gone.

Except I understood that I did not choose to clear cache and all data and so I figured that was my mistake.

With the advent of the 1.6.3 I figured I would reinstall this version and choose this time to clear everything. So now I sit with a fresh install, all my purchased apps to load again, but the bloat is still present.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Best,

Dox
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
What "bloat" are you referring to? Also which version did you install? If you want to get rid of all the bloat you need to install the "debloated" version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
1.6.2 and 1.6.3 are patches. you have to install the full ROM first.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TsaiKimon:
Actually 1.6.3 is a complete rom.:)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Making me look bad I see :D. You are correct, I just double checked and 1.6.3 is a full ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dox583:
Follow Up ...

Thanks for your replies . . . here is what solved it for me . . .

Reference paraphrased post by devindpotts below:

' . . . The fix I found was rebooting into recovery and flashing manually. There is an option in ROM manager to reboot into recovery. Once you are into recover wipe data/cache three times. Wipe cache partition three times. Wipe Davlik Cache(Under advanced menu) three times. I usually wipe three just to be sure everything is clean before I flash. Now load 1.6.3(since it's out now) onto the SD card. Boot into recovery again, wipe cache partion and davlik cache three times. Install 1.6.3.'

Basically the above is what I did and am now bloat free. The misnomers that need to be cleared up are this:

1. 1.6.3 is a standalone ROM

2. das BAMF Remix eliminates most bloat . . . ie, stocks, blockbuster, VZ Navigator, VZ Manager, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, ie everything I wanted to get rid of. I now have 50 apps that mostly make sense instead of 100 that . . . well . . . pissed me off.

3. Additon to the above instructions would be this:

a. download the BAMF-Remix-v1.6.3 file and check the MD5 checksum

b. load the downloaded .zip file onto the SD card before wiping (I didn't do this the first time and rebooting the system simply loads everything again.

So to be clear . . . I loaded the zip onto the SD card . . . then (using ROM manager) rebooted into recovery . . . wiped everything . . . and loaded BAMF-Remix-v1.6.3 zip from SD card. Now . . . for the 1st time the system is clean with all of the aforementioned Verizon bloat gone.

Things I am now unsure of:

1. I probably have to load the BAMF 'xtras' for 1.6.3 (ToolKit, etc.)

2. Probably don't have to re-install the the new radio

Anything wrong or missing above?

Hope that helps someone and thanks everybody!

Best,

Dox

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missaye:
hi all. i didn't really see this come up, but apologize if i missed it while searching. so how exactly do i create a nandroid backup of this rom? in recovery, every time i try to backup i get an "Error while backing up boot image!" i read there are incompatibility issues, but then how exactly do i create a backup? i am still having major battery issues (losing 20% in 2 hours for example with barely any use), and want a backup in case i need to revert back or try some other things (i.e. new radio, etc.). in addition, i can't seem to restore any previous backups too.

thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K40:
Sounds to me like you had previously installed one of the CM7 alpha / betas. I had noticed this upon trying to revert to a nandroid of ComRom. It would seem that the bootloader for Ginger Bread does not play well with the current CWM recovery environment.

Best option I found was Odin. While I personally don't mind using it many don't care for it. Maybe others found a better way around the boot loader, but as of yet I haven't.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missaye:
i never tried any of the CMs. i came from SC 2.9.2. I followed the directions on the [Howto] Get to ED01 (Official Froyo) Quickly thread. once i had ED01, i flashed the ComRom v1.3.

when you say best option you found was Odin...what exactly did you do there? I'm not following completely.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
Ok so I've been using clockwork since I rooted but now I want to switch to Amon Ra cause I hear its better. The recovery works because I can back up and flash stuff, but for some reason I can't restore, it always says something went wrong, check the recovery log. Is it because I rename the backups?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It could be. If you rename a backup, it cannot have any spaces in the name, or any odd characters. I suggest renaming it to something simple, with no punctuation, and no spaces. Try that, and see if it'll restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
didnt work :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossjeeves:
you arent trying to recover CWM backups with RA are you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
No, these are backups done through Amon Ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What options did you select when creating the backup? You may want to try re flashing your recovery, and see if it works after that. Sometimes reflashing the recovery can clear up a bunch of odd recovery related issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
For one of them I backed up all of it (clicked every check) and for another I only backed up the original 3 it selects for you; neither of them worked... Ok I'll try that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
When you make a backup using amon RA, the name of the nandroid appears as such: BDAS-20110509-0440. The prefix tells you what was backed up. For instance, the BDAS in the above example tells me that I made a backup of the boot, data, android.secure and system. Because I flash a lot of roms, I rename my backups in this manner: BDAS-SALVAGEMOD-0440. If you don't add any special characters, your backup should restore if you've renamed it. If your renamed backup is similar to mine and it still fails to restore then I recommend that you re-flash amon RA as suggested by my good friend k2buckley. Specifically, v2.3. You can download it from the link below.

[Galaxy S II General] ryude:
Scam, better make sure you don't ship it until paypal confirms after 2-3 days. I've had people do that to me before. They send a paypal payment, you ship the item, then they retract their payment and you're screwed.
[Galaxy S II General] falconeight:
Ya i already put the money into my bank account. I didn't realize how popular this phone was.
[Galaxy S II General] ryude:
But was it confirmed? Paypal will let you withdraw the money even if it isn't confirmed, but they'll force you to pay the money back to them if the payee retracts his payment.

Like I said, I have went through all of this before.

Edit: Even if it has been confirmed, you can still do a chargeback through your credit card company. I'm not saying that's what happened to you, but you have to be cautious.

Any ideas short of taking it in and begging them to reflash it for me?
