Upgrading maps app will not affect the fix, so if you want to find out if it works with stock gapps, you'll need to flash the unfix. Also, bftb0 on the gsb thread has demonstrated that desktop navigation is not a good test for force closes. I'd get it on the road to be sure.

My commute starts in about 15 minutes. I'll report back soon...
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Update: it seems google had fixed whatever was misbehaving in maps 5.7. No force closes on my commute.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Odd. I just full wipe installed ccm16sth with 5.8 maps and navigation worked fine. One thing I did was disable text to speech, maybe that's the culprit? You can disable by renaming system/lib/libtts.so.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
I don't have that file, got libttspico.so and libttssynthproxy.so.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Sorry, its the libttspico.so file
[Droid Eris General] aceof89:
GPS files the culprit?

Not sure if this will help but today running GSB 3.8 ODEX with Maps 5.8 (no framework mods.) my phone completely restarted in the middle of a walk. The thing is that I was not using Maps nor Nav. I WAS using TrackerBooster, an app that uses GPS to measure my walking distances. So maybe this is more related to GPS files than it is to Maps or Nav. As you can tell I am not a developer, so this may be all one and the same. Just thought posting it might lend a clue. Thanks for all you guys are doing to figure this out!
[Droid Eris General] Helmoot:
I tried Telenav with the same force close issue too
[Droid Eris General] Helmoot:
Something I noticed... making me wonder if it's memory allocation issue... after a reboot, going right into Nav, it still force closes but not until 30+ minutes,

If I haven't rebooted in a while and have been running other apps like, gmail, exchange, facebook, and the going driving with NAV the reboot happens right away
[Droid Eris General] y2kboy23:
I'm starting to think it might be a memory allocation issue as well because the freezes are inconsistant. I've had it freeze after 5 minutes and other times after 40 minutes. It sometimes will freeze the whole phone and sometimes will just force close Nav.
[Droid Eris General] Helmoot:
Thanks for working on this for everyone!!!

I'm trying to flash the patch zip in recovery but it says "can't find the update script" is there something I'm doing wrong?
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Yeah, so I definitely borked the flashable zip. :eek: Sorry, all, I'm still quite the noob. But, I think i got it right this time...
[Droid Eris General] bigdaddyblues:
klobkelosh,

which gapps did you pull the jar from?

I'm using gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed jar with GSB 3.8 and Maps 5.5.0.7 and I'm having good results.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Try the new patch shortly.
[Droid Eris General] Helmoot:
I wouldn't say memory allocation (or services) is totally confirmed but i was able to produce 2 reboots in 5 minutes using Nav on the way into work.

The first time i started from a fresh reboot , checked gmail and exchange,droid-in synched, then kicked on the bluetooth, started nav and within 5 it rebooted

The second time, I turned on bluetooth and nav and drove for 5minutes, my wife called me and Nav force closed, although it auto-restarted

(my setup:Mac's ported Evervolv ROM 7/17, scriptmanager/supercharger (02agressive-setting), maps 5.8- (Mac has Maps 5.2 pre-loaded but maps is a tricky bugger... it autoupdates even though I had unchecked the market autoupdate tab)

I was trying to see if I could get maps 5.2 to forceclose by running everthing at the same time and didn't realize till i got to work that maps 5.8 had loaded, but it was easy to crash 5.8 twice, I'll try 5.2 later.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
I'm using the 20100816 version extracted from mdpi gapps. The one you are using is actually from 20101020, but google confined to use it in newer Gapps packages. But of it works, it works! So far, I'm having good luck with maps 3.8...
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
5.2 has been the most favorable version so far? Just trying to get things straight in my crooked mind here :) lol
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Well, 5.2 seems to work for most people. I had 5.8 working on v15, but not yet on v16. Not sure why.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
So, apparently I just don't get it. Despite applying my own fix, maps nav crashed on me yesterday after only 2 minutes. So, on a whim I removed all of the maps jar files from the framework folder, dalvik wiped, reboot, open maps and...it works. In theory, maps shouldn't be able to ruin without the jar file in place, right? This less me to suspect that the jar files are compiled elsewhere after first boot and swapping files afterwards does not necessarily affect navigation. But, this still doesn't explain why swapping files has seemed to work in the last round. So confused...

To add to the pile, maps 5.8 worked flawlessly today.
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
5.8 worked fine without the jar files in framework? :confused: This nav and maps is really getting to be a nightmare.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Yeah, time for a new phone :)

Kids will love having the old eris/angry birds player.
[Droid Eris General] PieceKeepr:
Did it crash again after you removed the files? And did they reappear in the framework folder, recompiled as you suspect? This is interesting and makes me want to see what would happen if I deleted the files from GSB and tried Maps 5.8.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
After I removed the files nav did not crash again. The jar files did not reappear. But, map dependent apps like weatherbug would not run, so I put back the framework. I don't know why this would be, but maybe maps/nav doesn't actually need the framework to be in place, like maybe the framework is rolled into the app itself? Of so, maybe the fc is when app code conflicts with system code?

Getting way over my head here...
[Droid Eris General] PieceKeepr:
Since I use Weatherbug removing the files isn't an option then. This is such an incredibly weird problem.
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
I got a confirmation today that the new maps also isn't working properly on an unrooted charge. Makes me feel a little better about it lol.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
I heard nexus s has problems too, imagine how that makes google feel!
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
I removed the .jar from my framework folder, Nav ran ok....... for 5 minutes the froze.
[Droid Eris General] Letitride:
+1, I suspected that along the way that it's Google Map build problems, ran Maps 4.2 in an unlocked HTC Ozone (GSM mode) under custom WM 6.5 OS ROM and it ran perfectly. So much for bragging to DW that I no longer need a Garmin replacement (less than $89 depending on the model) and the Viewsonic VPAD 7" tablet (5.x verisons) is great for "big" screen car navigation (even when the Eris is having problems with 5.x verisons)

The Garmin people must be really happy learning about the ROM development problems & dancing down the road ....
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Ok, so yesterday I got an android layer restart. The kicker is I wasn't even using navigation, just maps. I was streaming audio from mlb at the time and was trying to locate a restaurant in maps. Was acting real sluggish, then, boom - boot animation. So it gets me thinking...I usually test navigation by launching right from the navigation icon, not through maps. I usually have no navigation problems. I sometimes get maps crashes, especially while searching in the text box. Could the problem now be using maps with nav at the same time, and not just a nav issue?
[Droid Eris General] Alan Wolfe:
Yesterday the phone rebooted (Three Androids on skateboards) after using Maps to search for a location and exiting Maps. About 5 minutes later the phone freezes, then reboot. Maps no longer open or being used.

Running GSB v3.8 Non
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
I always launch Nav not Maps.

That is when I want to use Nav. If not then I do launch Maps.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Anything new on this front?
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Nada here. Still working on it tho...
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
That's cool, glad to here you haven't given up on it.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
I'm tempted to give up...it's really perplexing me
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
Now you're starting to sound like me :eek:
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Oh crap! Well I guess it could be worse? ;)
[Droid Eris General] Helmoot:
caused a reboot

I doubt it's helpful, but I caused a reboot... running CM7 v17, maps 5.2.1

I was just about to my destination, didn't need nav anymore, so I hit menu (i was going to hit exit)

But nav froze, the force close option popped up, I hit "wait" then I got the 3-droids screen (a.k.a the black death)

Besides this one incident, I haven't had much trouble with NAV on CM7 v17
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
New maps is out, lets see how we do...
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
So far so good. maps 5.9 navigation survived the pm commute with no freezing or force closes. I'm running

Condemned cm7 v17sth with the navigation patch installed.

More testing needed...anyone going on a long trip that can test? I can, but not until monday.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
How long is your commute? And is that the last Nav patch of yours?
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
35 minutes, today at least. And yes, the most recent patch.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Sounds promising
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Well I've thought so before... :/
[Droid Eris General] Alan Wolfe:
I used Maps 5.8 today off and on during my 4 hour trip and Nav for 2 20 minute sessions without an issue.

Just CS code - No nav fix applied.

I am thrilled! The only down side is now I am very hesitant to update the ROM.

Just updated Maps to 5.9. I should get a chance to play around a little with it tomorrow.
[Droid Eris General] y2kboy23:
Ran it 3 different times on my way home with each trip equaling about 15 minutes and not a single issue. Running a fresh install of Condemned v17 from a few days ago and never applied the Nav patch. Looks promising!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeeinSouthAfrica:
You have to hold the volume down button AND the power button at the same time in order to get to the screen with the three colours (bootloader screen)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] leoncupra:
nothing.it seems like the buttery to be dead.maybe is butterys problem?or there is a chance the screen to be burned?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeeinSouthAfrica:
If you can get into bootloader then all is not lost - get out of there and direct your browser to this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

Read carefully before continuing. I suggest you start with a wipe (task29) then install MAGLDR - BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAYED AROUND WITH NAND ROMS. If your phone is still a Windows Mobile device rather study this section before you do ANYTHING!

And one final word of warning - if you still have your phone under warranty (or it is insured), take it back to the shop to have it fixed before you do anything that could void this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeeinSouthAfrica:
...and maybe it is as simple as the battery just died?:p

i cant get into bootloader.the phone is dead.i have to try a new buttery and we'll see.thanks anyway
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Funny,

mine goes to bootloader without having to hold the power button down.

Did you manage to charge the phone at all?

Do you have a spare battery or battery charger?

Hello-

I just had a simple question about rooting. I just bought my 16gb tablet and I noticed it does not come with a micro SD card. Is a micro SD card required to root the device? I rooted my MyTouch 4G (thanks to these forums) but that came with one. I have bookmarked how to do it so that's not what I am looking for.

Thank you-

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynet91:
I've been root for years now running cyanogen mod. I am currently running cyanogenmod 7, but I found out the problem I am having isn't rom specific. The problem is my data doesn't work at all. The only way I can connect to the internet is via Wifi. It just started happening early Sunday morning. I restored back to a stock rom (still root) and tried to do updates but all updates failed. The system update and PRL update failed and the htc software update failed.

I tried restoring by running an RUU but I get bootloader verification failed. I have no idea what to do and I can't access the internet on my phone. :( Calls and texts still work though. It says i'm connect to Sprint 1xRTT but that data is "turning on" and never gets past that.

Playing with the client-side security settings is a great way to screw up an Exchange connection. I'm guessing the cellular IP/protocol that's going through is acceptable to the server and the one using Wi-Fi isn't. Sys admins get big bucks managing Exchange because it's a pain in the ass. I don't know what else to tell you.

What will the impact of this update be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
The impact will be that it will update this phone to gingerbread. Neat, huh?

Now if you're talking rootability, how would we know until it's released? I won't take a chance. I think the update for the dhd is unrootable. When put on a stock phone, you're hosed.

For custom roms? I'm sure it'll be a good thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lothodon:
agreed. i don't think the inspire will ever get an unlocked rom direct from htc and especially not from at&t. if your interested (like i am) in a stock rom based on gingerbread wait for a developer to release a rooted version of the at&t update coming in august.

i just wish htc would add sense 3.0 to the coming rom, but i don't imagine that will ever happen either. thank goodness for the developers on here to make our phones what they could be from htc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
There's a new exploit, Fre3vo, that should work on the forthcoming Inspire GB update unless HTC patches it at the last minute which is not likely (it's already in the pipeline).
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
They are saving that for a later ota ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] joey22888:
Move to android 2.3. A couple of fixes. Same laggy sense sadly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I queried you with this on the other thread, but it looks like it's getting buried. From what I have seen, this just gives a temp root and doesn't break the nand security. I was wondering if perhaps you had seen some info I hadn't come across that indicated otherwise.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
You need temproot to change the version information. From there (with a goldcard), you can downgrade the ROM to the version that can be used with gfree to get S-OFF. Once you've got S-OFF you're home free!

Basically it's the same method as before, but using fre3vo instead of psneuter or rage (psneuter and rage exploits have been patched in latest HTC RUUs).
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
So basically this is specific to the Inspire. We still benefit from having the ability to downgrade and exploit. I was wondering why it wouldn't perma root the EVO 3D. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Well, most any rooting procedure needs to get temproot at some point in the process. Fre3vo works on a lot of HTC GB RUUs, but I'm not sure if it works on other brands. The workings are still a closely guarded secret for now.

which is the best rom among of this.....?

mates plz respond my question.....and give me the suggession......plzzz am new to android:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Well both are similar.

If you are after as close to stock as possible, use VR. If you are after something more pre-customised for you, go for Cog. :)

Both very similar and at some point when we are organised we'll likely try to the ROMs together a bit, since we're duplicating effort right now :)
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Try them both :) Both are good, VR as Pulser said is close to stock and you then use VR tweaks to apply tweaks which cognition has built in.

It's all personal preference, all roms aim to achieve the same thing just in different ways and with different looks. There is no point in comparing which one is better, you should just look for the one with the features and looks that you want.
