[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Phaedrus_RT:
Custom route import from Google Maps app on PC

Hi genius.lizard2,

Noob here - like so many people do, I found an online forum thread that seemed to address my problem and joined the forum. First off, I'll reiterate the sincere thanks expressed throughout this thread for your (and others') work. It's a rare example of selflessness in today's world.

Now to my problem: until two years or so ago, I used my Android phone as the primary GPS for my motorcycle. The GREAT thing about Maps (and Navigation) at that time was that I could create a custom route in Maps on my PC, send the link to my phone, and the custom route would appear and navigate properly. No longer. Sending the custom route link to my phone brings up Maps with the start and end points, along with Google's stock route suggestions for those points. None of the modifications I made to the route on my PC appear on my phone's Maps app.

I have a Galaxy Note 3 running Android v4.3. I rolled back Maps to v7.0.2 - results as described above. I've searched and whined online for a long time about a solution to this, through a couple of phones. Periodically someone claims to have solved it, but their solution is usually a regurgitation of the process that used to work. Perhaps they're using an old phone with an old version of Maps - IDK.

I installed all of the various versions offered at the top of this thread. None of them successfully restore the functionality I need. I scanned every entry in the thread. Currently, I have the "blue icon" v6.14.4 installed. I was hopeful at first, because the custom route appears in the MapsD app! Hooray! But hitting the Nav icon, and choosing the NavigationD app, reverts to the primary Google-suggested route.

I would happily keep a modded version of Maps alongside the current version. Use the current version when I just need Point-A-to-B directions, and the modded version for navigating a custom route. Because that's really all I need on my bike - no waypoints, points-of-interest, or other fluff. Just turn-by-turn voice navigation for a route that I have (or someone else has) created. And I’d really like to have comms/nav/music all on one device.

Suggestions? Am I missing a step in getting the custom route that appears in your Maps app to load in the Nav app? Is there an even earlier version of Maps/Nav available that still has this capability? Or was this feature lost as Google updated its apps and system? I'm frustrated and frankly pissed, as are many of my riding buddies.

Hope this wasn’t TL/DR. Thanks in advance for any input you may have.

the routing is controlled in the cloud by google. what i do is for the places it will go off course create a POINT to navigate to. once you get there move on to the next point. it is tedious but it is the only real way since they removed that function from backend some time ago.

No one version run the gmaps widget (time to get to a place - traffic lights icon). I correctly find the widget but when I try to put it on the home page google maps crash. This is the principal thing I miss with me google maps 7.

I apologize for being old, but I'm really confused. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a Galaxy S3 (on crappy 4.3) and I really hate the new maps (ver 7??) and really want my old maps/navigation back. But I also want it to see my Starred maps on my Google account (which requires signing in, logging in, etc.?)

WHAT download do I choose?

It does seem to work, I don't notice anything added or removed. I hope it's useful

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ROMVS:
What are the extra permissions needed for?

Why does this require so many permissions? It required:

- Location (current)

- Read Contacts (current)

- Modify Contacts

- Audio Focus (current)

- (current maps requires Media Volume, not this apk)

- Record Audio

- Post Notification

- Call Phone

- Keep Awake (current)

* current is the current version of maps

Can someone please check if this was the original permissions for this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:
All Permission are logically and right.

Navigate to contacts

Location

Make calls

And so on

Hi, I read all pages of this thread carefully and I tried everything. But I could not make work the login of the separate navigation of 6.14.4.

We need this so urgent, because all starred loations ("favorites, my places") are adresses of individuals (handicaped people we serve). In earlier versions of Gooogle navigation we could give the searched loation an individual name (e.g. "Peter Meyer"). This name and not the useless address was displayed in navigation-app - in order of distance of the actual location.

All that has gone withe the new version.

We use Samsung S3 with Android 4.3 (no newer version is available). 6.14.4 is installed and works fine. And we can start the separate icon for navigation. But no login. Therefore now saved places.

Is there absolutely no way to login into the Google account?

hi my friends

unfortunately (i think) google is changed servers (or anything) for these features

so... old maps can't work perfectly (google wants all people to update their maps to v7)

[Motorola Photon 4G] victimofcanada:
I have searched and searched and am only asking here because this is my current device and I am not sure if this is a device specific question. With a locked bootloader, does it check the system folder for things like superuser and other apps that have to be written to the system directory, or am I safe to install those things without bricking my device?

I have a weird understanding of how android works I understand more than the average user and am comfortable with rooting but I am also extremely paranoid and not knowing this sort of thing makes me uncomfortable. Help is appreciated

Find and install ROM Manager Premium v5.0.0.3.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
ROM Manager, any version, is the wrong way to go about installing a recovery for any Optimus One device. My tool, Android Flash Recovery ( link is in my signature ), and LGMDP are the safest ways to install a recovery for these devices.

You can download CWM 5.0.2.7 for P500 here.

Android Flash Recovery and LGMDP both require LG's official drivers to be installed. Both are Windows only applications.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayc137:
... or use flash image GUI app if access to PC is somewhat limited
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
Yes. Once CWM recovery is installed you the use the recovery to flash ROMs and patches. You can use CWM or any other recovery to flash another recovery too. Just remember to make 100% sure that it's for your device.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
ROM Manager is OK but only places old versions of CWM. Newer ones need to be flashed from current recovery (zip files) or flash_image command or flash image app if img files.

When i connected my ep 630 which does not have mic, the phone's default mic is also not working.

Hi there,

I just flashed 4.3 (Criskelo) ROM and I've been restoring apps for the whole day. All went well but I am unsure about a couple of things:

1) Do I need (or if it works with 4.3) Triangle Away?

2) What about Xposed "Sysscope blaster" - this was supposed to change status to "normal" - do I need this now when I'm on custom (tw based but still custom) ROM?

Thanx!!!!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manan999583:
You want to have status 'official' in bootloader while you are on custom rom?

Well I dont think it is possible.. also, if ur bootloader is mj9 (the one which comes with the official 4.3 update), triangle away will not work..

If you want everything stock(assuming you dont have the latest mj9 bootloader with knox), flash dr ketan's prerooted dmg1, use triangle away and it will change everything to official and then simply unroot from the supersu app
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Thanx for reply. No I don't want to go stock, I was just wondering. So syscope blaster is of no use.

I'm on BL_MJ5_DN3 bootloader, will Triangle Away work with this one?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sora9009:
triangle away is use to reset the flash counter in download mode..it has nothing to do with the normal status in setting..

so if you dont care about the flash counter,no need triangle away.

[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Me and few other people still asking about OTG capabilities so lets make combined thread for all.

What I figured out for now.

First of all RAZR i does not support OTG itself cause has no power on micro USB port so You need more than regular USB OTG cable.

You need minimum 1A powered USB HUB which means just buy regular 3/4/8 ports USB HUB but with 1A (can be 2A too) AC adapter.

So connection should looks like:

RAZRi -> OTG Cable -> USB Powered HUB -> USB Device

It's simple part. Lest make something harder.

List of devices which I tested:

USB HUB

KitKat should bring more OTG capabilitiesfor us so to prepare for that I bought new USB HUB with built in OTG support.

It the same like THIS one and it's dedicated for Samsung S3, S4 etc.

Hub is made not so bad, it has built in OTG support so no need other adapters and it has power connector.

To use this HUB You need to connect it to DC 5V/1A with 1,35/3,5 to USB cable. I used this cable and regular Moto wall charger. You can also use power bank as power for more mobility.

All my USB devices working fine under this HUB so I can recommend this for RAZRi.

Mouses and Keyboards

RAZRi has no problems to detect and handle with most of mouses and keyboards. No modifications are needed. Just Plug & Play.

USB Drives (Pendrives, HDD's etc)

Unfortunately none of them are working. Phone detects devices in some apps but drives are not detected as drives, just devices and they can't be mounted. I think without any kernel modifications drives can't be mounted. Apps to mount drives can't handle with it too.

USB Audio Devices / DAC

Unfortunately I have only 2 devices like that. Sound Blaster Surround 5.1 USB and Logitech Stereo USB Speakers.

Both tested with USB Audio Tester ROOT.

Creative is correctly detected but there is no sound on every setting.

Logitech USB speakers are detected correctly too but I was able to make it works but only to hear sound from internal microphone. No way to hear music or any sound from phone.

I tested SoundAbout Pro tp force playing from USB host but it failed. I don't know any other app can make it. Also I'm really noob at Linux so I have no idea what to modify in Alsa driver to redirect sound on USB audio device.

USB Game Controllers / PAD

I have only wireless XBOX360 pad so can be hard to make it work but heard somewhere that can be possible. In few days i'll check what can be done with it.

Tested with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, working like a charm without any mods. OFC You need to use button mapper or any similar app cause after connect pad is working like mouse but after remap we have fully working cordless pad.

USB Network Adapters

At this moment I tested only cheap RJ45 to USB adapter but it doesn't work. Strange cause activity led on adapter is blinking sometimes and it stops when phone is off but nothing except this.

Any other news, suggestions, tests of working devices are welcome.
