I'm using MapsD on my Pixel 2 XL running stock Android 10. MapsD does not show any battery use, but I have gone into the Apps->MapsD->Advanced->Battery->Battery Restriction, & have set it to restrict. This prevents it from running in the background & killing the battery.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

I've installed MapsD on every phone/kernel I've had since Marshmallow, ever since Maps 7 replaced it. I'm on Pixel 2 XL stock Android 10 & MapsD still works. Don't remember having to do anything special except enable the "install from unknown source" option. I also disable Play Protect, but don't think that affects it.

I have multiple Maps APKs I've held on to, so you can try searching the web for these to see if one of them will install. These include:

Maps (NimaGL2 Edition)s3.apk

MapsD (NimaGL2 Default Edition).apk

MapsD_V6.14.4_(With_Default_Icon).apk

MapsN_V6.14.1_(With_Default_Icon).apk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] latino147:
I have the same issue with it, i get messages that it's eating my battery.

However, the restriction setting kills it as soon as you move from the app to another app, e.g. to change the music ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sabunassar:
Strange. I just tried it on mine & launched multiple other apps. Went back to MapsD & it was as I had left it. Didn't restart from scratch.

Have you modified "Don't keep activities" or "Background process limit" in the developer options? I have developer options off & the default is standard limit. Do other apps also get killed in background if you restrict their battery? That may indicate whether it's an OS related setting or specific to MapsD.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] latino147:
Well, I'm on a s10, and probably SS has a more aggressive memory management.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rregn:
thanks for you fast reply,

i just got an Samsung S6, non root, just resetted with Android 6.0.1 and made the same tries

- with the same result. no one works.

Could you please upload the APK file you use? ir post a link, if you still know the source?

kind regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] suffeks:
here u go

this also works on galaxy s8 android 7, soon i hope to install on the new s20 can u imagine old maps in 120fps? :)

i had no battery issues, OS didnt complain. there is one issue when u try signing into google (in app), it will take a few tries, clearing app cache data and these combintations over and over it will kick in eventually, so your favorite places will show up too (stars)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rregn:
thanks, this is a different file, but also this file ist not been installed, neither on the S5 nor the S6 nor the Honor 5x, all with Android 6

"app not installed"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] suffeks:
uninstall or disable existing maps. if that doesn't help sorry I don't know
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rregn:
the existing maps are a system app, so i cannot uninstall (on non-rooted).

But i tried to disable and stopp it on the S6, but this does not help.

And the idea is to have old AND new versions available.

i think, there is the time to drop this now, but many thnaks everybody, who tried to help

Thank you very much for your quick responce.

I am really missing "Messaging" app of my S2. I also tried installing it using different techniques but failed. It was really cool app.

Here are MMS APKs attached. If you please take a look at it. I will be pleased.

I extracted these APKs and odex files from S2 ICS(4.0.4) stock ROM.

These are the only MMS related files in that ROM I think.

These are total 4 files. 2 with extension APK and 2 with odex.

Unfoutunately odex files are not being attached because i think XDA wont support it.

Anyway if you need them too I can send them via other means.

I am already using your modded MAPS app. Very very thanks for that too.:good:

I wish you BEST of LUCK.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] genius.lizard2:
your welcome

first of all upload odex files somewhere.

maybe i can make without deodexing

if not:

i need deodexed files.

you have to upload all of your framework folder and odex files...

or you must deodex these 2 mms files and upload them again

how deodex:

Or you must flash a deodexed Rom and pull mms files from it

or any how ... i need deodexed apks for making installable

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oyodnaH:
What is dedoxing?

Has anyone managed to log in? I can't log in to either this version or the version 6.5 that buell provided a couple of months ago. It completely defeats the purpose of having the old version of Maps. I'm crying here. Someone please help. :crying:

In the 6.5 version, it just says login failed

In this version, it just never get past the "Signing in"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:

Thanks for your reply buell47. How did you log in? I have downloaded the same app and installed it with no problem in my Note 3. But everytime I tried to sign in, I can never get past the "Signing in" part. It also sometimes showed the "login failed" error.

I've tried restarting the phone, signing out of the current Maps version, removing my Google account, but all to no avail.

Edit: I've also tried removing/uninstalling/disabling the current (official) Maps version and it didn't work either.

Edit part 2: Here are some screenshots

When I first installed the app and access it:

I tried to 'bait' it by accessing "Local" and then pressing "From your circles"

When I went to "Settings" and tried to "Sign in" I can never get past this

By the way this weird notifications keeps on popping now and then, randomly every few minutes even though I've allowed access

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:
That's bad :-\

Be sure you downloaded the 6.14.4?

Don't use the 6.14.1

Try again with a Sim Card (maybe Google need it)???

Just a try:

Delete cache and data from booth maps.

Delete maps 6.

Delete updates maps 7 and deactivate it.

Install maps 6.14.4.

Try out maps 6 and wait for the notification in status bar. They are 3 different notifications! Confirm all with yes.

Maybe reboot it, if the notification is not showing

If it works, activate maps 7 and update it again.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] j_ko:
I will preface by mentioning that I do not have much knowledge about these things, and i end up just learning what I need, when I need it. I tried opening your apk file in apk edit to try and rename it. It errors out saying something about something being null...anyway was just trying to get rid of most of the extra characters in the name so the app will display a bit more clean. Great work by the way on this as the new maps app is the most horrible regression in all of android history! Do you know how I could work around the error or some other method by which I could rename your maps app?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] recDNA:
These older maps are installable on unrooted note 3?

Can you use 6.14.1 without logging in then store new locations for navigating or do you have to be logged in to store new locations?

Will it just keep asking me to log in when it is installed?

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saadfarooq_005:
Of course. U can install this maps app on unrooted Note3.

Signing in may cause problem. Just uninstall the update of your stock(original) maps app.

then leave it for some time to allow it to sign in.

Probabally it should work...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:
Unrooted = YES u can

The 6.14.4 works fine and no log in problems. But without worldwide navigation mod

The 6.14.1 works also fine if you prefer worldwide navigation, but you can´t log in and you don´t have your saved locations

If you have problems with log in...read me suggestions few posts above this on :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] recDNA:
Oh I see. THANKS. BTW, I think it's a great idea to change the name a little so each version is discernible.

Since navigation works fine in 7.5 I would just as soon NOT log in to 6.14.4. I wondered if you can skip the sign in part of installation and if so how.

Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:
You don't have to uninstall anything.

Just install the Maps 6 Version what you prefer.

Both Maps (6&7) runs together on your device.

Only in that case you have problems with log in....follow my suggestion and uninstall Maps 7. Only the Updates will remove from your system, not the stock version.

Just for complete uninstall off maps 7 you need root! But you don't need it.

Dear All,

if I remember well I am using the NimaGL2 Maps 6.14.4 since around 2015, but from February 2023 the "colors" referring to the traffic situations are "disappeared", and now the track line is only gray.

Any possible solution? Are the developers already aware of this? Something has been changed on the Google side, and the NimaGL2 app is probably no longer compatible with the new protocols.

Please help

but i only tested it in Rooted N9005 note 3

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 the other day. The phone isn't rooted yet and Google Maps Version 6.14.4 is working perfectly on it, and I was able to sign-in on my account as well. Thanks for getting this working, Mr Lizard. :good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tbalon:
I just updated my Nexus S to CyanogenMod 10.2 using their install process. The phone works great but I was missing

maps. There were no google maps installed at all on with the new ROM. Like a lot of others, I hate the new maps

and was looking for the older app.

I've downloaded "6.14.1 With Blue ICON (NavigationMOD).zip " and saved it to my SD Card. However, I cannot

get it to install. I tried using the file manager but no go ...

When I click on the zip file, it tells me that this is not a valid chomp SMS theme. It seems chomp SMS app uses

zip files to package its themes.

When I rename the zip file to apk and try to install it tells me "Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"

I then tried installing WinZip app onto my Nexus S. This looked good. I changed my security setting to allow install from other

sources and tried again.

This time it unpacked the zip, showed the apk file. I start to install, accept permissions, it goes for a while then dies saying

"app failed to install" ....

What an I doing wrong ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] recDNA:
You could unzip it on a computer and transfer it or clear defaults and freeze chomp sms and see if you can unzip on your Nexus.
