That's the one I did, it also has all the needed files just grab the files from there and you should be able to use them for these instructions
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
When that happens you need to:

adb push <path to>/Maps.apk /system/app

adb shell

# install /system/app/Maps.apk

# exit

could you or somone who got this to work try to make a video tuturiol on this so we can all clearly see how it works!!! please someone make an post it on youtube if possible thanks!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
navigation doesn't work outside of the US at the moment right? :mad:
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
I was able to get the new maps.apk to install - and it is clearly a different application (with the new layers), but no navigate button. : (
[G1 Android Development] Buster3616:
Nope, not until the big G says so.
[G1 Android Development] lp894:
what rom are you using?
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
You might have to try editing your packages.xml file even though it didn't give you an install error. Also, if you push your original build.prop's back, you lose navigation after a few hours. I guess the quick solution to that would be to keep the new build.prop's, but I'm not sure what the problems that might or might not create for other apps.
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
I'm using CM-4.2.3.1 with the edited build.prop and the build.sapphire.prop files.
[G1 Android Development] jezzaaaa:
A quick shortcut is to drop the device from this command. As you're re-mounting, the kernel knows the device name. Like this:
[G1 Android Development] droiddv:
Wow dude your the bomb, I did it a different way but it worked perfect. I just took a dount rom extracted it, deleted the maps.apk, then I took the droid dump maps app and put it into the donut rom. Then I made the changes to the build.trout.prop so that it recognized the g1 as the verizon phone, used your downloadable build.prop, of course I just deleted the original build.prop in the donut build, I resigned the donut rom, flashed it like it was brand new, and bingo everything worked perfectly. Wow good job dude. I would upload my rom but I dont want to get into any trouble.
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
I am using "AOSP1.6_r1.4+ADP DRD20 ROM". Maps on here is called "GoogleMaps.apk". I also do not have just a build.prop. I have a build.sapphire.prop and build.trout.prop. I modified both and replaced according to the first post. When I rebooted, GoogleMaps.apk was reinstalled, so I had to uninstall it again.

I did get the error described in post #8, but was able to get around it with the help of post #10.

But for some reason my network is completely down so I can't do nothing. Wifi and Cellular network. Hmmmm.

Edit: Replacing the files I backed up with the originals, brought my networks back.
[G1 Android Development] jezzaaaa:
So, go to menu->more->about to confirm that it.s v3.2.0.
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
I am on 3.2 for the maps, but I think maybe my build.prop editing isn't correct, this is what I'm showing:
[G1 Android Development] jokersax11:
ok everything does work, but only for a few hours. the new build props break a few apps but a reinstall fixes. dont fix permissions if you want navigation.:( the part that needs to be done now is to modify maps to allow tmobile/dream or remove certain permissions that let it change back.
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
Use my attached build.prop and build.trout.prop instead
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
What apps does it break? :/
[G1 Android Development] jokersax11:
voice chomp and a couple others. but just reinstall
[G1 Android Development] mianosm:
Many thanks using those prop files and this string of commands worked perfect! : )

adb remount
adb push build.prop /system
adb push build.trout.prop /system
adb reboot

i am running a 1.5 hero build on the g1. i dont see the trout.prop... i see a init.trout.rc under root and a build.prop under system /dev/block/mtdblock3. does anyone have any suggestions, or can this even work for hero builds?
[G1 Android Development] DroidRC1:
i have the same problem but i dont understand this..i did this and it didnt work was i post to type a path "<path to>" or just type exactly what u said to my cmd??
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
The path to is where you have the Maps.apk on your computer
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It WON'T run on hero, hero is 1.5 the Maps needs 1.6+
[G1 Android Development] jezzaaaa:
Yeah, that pic looks the same as on my phone. I'm using CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 same as you. I pushed the build.sapphire.prop and build.prop from the download, and didn't touch the build.trout.prop file. During the uninstall process, I also found a copy of Maps.apk as /system/sd/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk and deleted it there too. Had to edit the packages.xml file and then "adb install Maps.pkg" worked.

I'm on Australia, but if I ask for directions from two places in the US I get the navigation option.
[G1 Android Development] DroidRC1:
sorry that was dumb of me....well i did it but when i go to directions and type n a location i dont see navigation any where under show on map or menu???..i checked my version and i got 3.2.0 (#3232) gmm-android-tmobile and platform is android:HTC-sapphire-T_Mobile MyTouch 3g
[G1 Android Development] fireinthesky2night:
hey thanks man..ill flash over to a donut build now..ive actually seen you in the hero threads..what is your suggestion right now as far as builds? what seems to be your likings lately? cyangoen? thanks in advance..

also i thought the tattoo was a 1.6 build..is there a port or flashable rom for that because i believe thats run heros Sense UI....??hmmm
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I enjoy KingKlick's, definitely his fanboy, and as far as cyanogen I only flashed him once, and that was to see google nav. Let's just say that once you go hero you don't go back. Hero offers to many things that I use that aren't on stock android
[G1 Android Development] fireinthesky2night:
so what your saying is you just flashed over to cyanogen to see the new maps and than werent to impressed to leave hero and flashed back. haha. Well im currently using on both my g1's kingklicks 1.3 sapphire sense port. Ive been ok with the speed, but am ready to change because i have 128mb of swap leaving me no free ram which slows it down at first until the swap goes. to keep this on subject, i was wondering what you had do to to switch to cyangen to get maps working. i havent used him since the cease and desist and i think there is a new way of flashing his, right? did you have any problems? thanks
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I switched out my build.props and got navigation working last night. Then switched back to the regular build.props and it still worked fine. It worked fine this morning also, but now today out of nowhere the navigation feature is gone..
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Get 4.3.2.1 and then follow this guide

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_Versions

I thought I had messed up when it booted into recovery, but just wait about a min. then hit home+reboot
[G1 Android Development] lp894:
Thats correct if you're doing it the way I show. The way I show changes the system fingerprint, so even though it SAYS it's still gmm-tmobile-blach blah blah, maps THINKS it's the droid version. it won't actaully SAY that it's the Motorola Droid
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
im running cyan 4.2.3.1 and changed out the props but i'm still not getting navigation here's my about info
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4921115&postcount=202

here man, this is the process that works EVERY time, you just have to add a lil bit to the last line:

last line should be: install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
For those having issues, make sure to modify the packages.xml file in /data/system. Do a search in this thread.

I used the nav feature to get to work this morning and it worked awesome. I love the voice search, so much nicer than my car's gps.
[G1 Android Development] DroidRC1:
i dont know what my maps.apk titled is...i tried map.apk and its not that and i tried com.android.google.maps.apk and its not that..so how can i find this out or can anybody tell me what it can be
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's called com.android.google.apps.maps.apk, but

rm /system/sd/app/*maps*

gets the job done too
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
with your method, does handcent sms still recognize contacts or no?
[G1 Android Development] yellathcir:
I also have no contact info in handcent sms, I tried to reinstall and still no luck. Anyone have a solution?
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
Got it to work :) also wanna mention all my apps seem to be working fine with the droid .props... so i guess no need to revert to the original .props
[G1 Android Development] rockdevourer:
Same :(

Edit: Official Tmo root also always deletes Maps.apk and replaces it with GoogleMaps.apk on reboot/shutdown
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
EVERYONE,

your navigation will be GONE after a few hours if you get it working, it is being worked on in the original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582656

be patient and READ
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
This thread should probably be closed until all the kinks are worked out in the other thread.
[G1 Android Development] lp894:
works fine for me. then again...i never put my old build.prop and build.sapphire.prop back. I haven't had any issues with any apps, other than needing an uninstall and reinstall for some reason

edit: tried handcent sms....no go on contacts
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
People are claiming that after a certain number of hours, everything stops working. So, it may be fine now, but I have a feeling this thread is going to flood sometime this evening when everyone realizes that their Nav is no longer working.
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
Alternative Method

this is is made especially for those who get maps to install but no navigation this is long so be sure you have time this worked on 6 different phones inclcuding mines

hope this helps

1 wipe/factory reset

2 then backup your apps and delete them

cd /system/sd
mkdir app1 app-private1
mv app/* app1/
mv app-private/* app-private/

3 reinstall the htc image need to install cyanogen rom

4 reinstall the cyanogen rom

reboot

skip sign in process

5 remove all signs of maps

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*

or

adb reboot
adb shell
rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*

push or copy paste "build.prop" "build.trout.prop" and "Maps.apk" to a folder called maps on sdcard (/sdcard/maps)

from adb shell or terminal

remount system as r/w

mv /system/build.prop /system/d.build.prop
mv /system/build.trout.prop /system/d.build.trout.prop
reboot
remount system as r/w
install /sdcard/maps/Maps.apk /system/app

check if you have navigation dont be surprised if you dont, i didnt either

reboot

then go onto market and sign into you google account

download and install anycut

by this time you contact should have loaded go into you contacts and and choose a contact with an address, if you dont have one make one, then click the address it should show on map, then click on the point and you should get the navigate option

if you dont get navigation im very sorry it didnt work

if it does make a backup then change you build.props back

remout system as r/w
cd sytem
mv build.prop s.build.prop
mv build.trout.prop s.build.trout.prop
mv d.build.prop build.prop
mv d.build.trout.prop build.trout.prop
reboot

if it still works make a another backup

if you want to reinstall all your apps

install /system/sd/app1/*.apk /data/app

I don't see anyone who actaully LEFT the .prop files on the device. i haven't ran into any issues except the new facebook app, which i can live without. so i kept the re-made files
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
Oh okay, if you say so. You might be entirely right; if so, this thread should be helpful for those trying to figure this out. I'd keep an eye out for overlap, though; if people start trying to figure out workarounds or solutions in this thread AS WELL AS the other, it'll effectively split the "think-tanking" in half.

this does work on hero
[G1 Android Development] Bradleyforrest:

do I leave the build.sapphire.prop in /system

do I have delete it and just have 2 .prop files i.e. build.prop and build.trout.prop

in order to get Nav to work
[G1 Android Development] nphaskins:
I have nav and 4.2.4 with no problems.
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
if you have a g1 then you can go ahead and delete build.sapphire.prop .. its not being used ... if you have a mt3g then i think it uses sapphire and not trout
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
i just downloaded 4.2.4, replaced it with the droid .props, resigned, and flashed. nav lives :D
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
you might end up having some apps crash on you or act funny ... to avoid this use the build prop from the build you're using (4.2.4) and only edit the ro.build.fingerprint line ... only the first 3 values of that line should be changed ... look for followinginsanity's post on this in the other thread

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptoro07:
Probably like many others of you here with android phones, I can from using WinMo phones and that is my main experience with samrtphones/pdas. On the WinMo phones you are able to install or Cook different UIs on top of windows. What I am trying to understand is why there is not a standalone version of HTC Rosie/Sense UI. Is it so integrated that you cannont remove it. Seems to me like if you could, it would be easier to get BT working on the ROMs with rosie.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptoro07:
No one has an answer?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
I thought someone answered this question the other day.

Short answer Yes, it is very integrated into the closed source HTC framework.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If it was possible don't you think someone would have done it by now? ;-)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
You end up with a hero rom once your done porting it xD

Yeah that's fair, sorry iff I sounded like an 4$$, couldn't help myself...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptoro07:
That's cool. I'm not such a noob, but trying to get a better understanding of things. Don't want to play around with stuff I know nothing about like some of the people I see posting problems on here.

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
dont bother any way i tried installing the rosie.apk onto vanilla 1.6 and nothing even happen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Haha, well no it wouldn't work, it's tied in to the HTC frameworks. Not to mention that each touchflo widget has it's own apk.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
This is true for WinMo as well... in order to get TouchFlo working on a WinMo phone, you had to install the HTC Framework, then the TouchFlo. It worked better, of course, if it was cooked in, and IIRC(haven't followed close enough to be 100%) the newest TouchFlo has to be cooked into the ROM just like with SenseUI.

With how indepth the HTC SenseUI goes, there is a lot more to it... framework is WAY different than stock Android, is folders are moved all around, and it isn't as simple as adding in the framework, the HTC framework really is a complete OS, and not just a program on top of the OS.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Agreed. The framework is so massive, even if we could push the whole thing there wouldn't really be much point. BT would work - in theory - but the UI would still be trying to utilize more RAM than is available.

I've tried heaps (got like 30 in my start menu), done many searches... Tired of heresay and finding out none really work. I want to easily block people off my touch pro. Anyone have a working version of anything?

Answer(credit to mtem1985): Magicall http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html It's a great little program, can block calls/sms with auto delete, logging, notifications, etc... it can even send a message back to your harrasser like "I told you there is more fish in the sea" or just "You Are Blocked"

Pretty cool, suited my needs perfect.

Works perfect, thanks man.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ubuntujason:
hey there~

i am fairly certain that the free call firewall has all those abilities. i use it to automatically route certain callers to vm. you can auto reply to blocked call via sms if u want. you can specify a black list for calls and sms and even add a blocked call to a reminder list!

hope that helps

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Bajanman:
;) Here you go. Hope this helps your problems out.. Good luck:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mtem1985:
Ur welcome :)

I've given my phone number to some people that i shouldn't give to, so in need of a program that could solve this problem for me, i've come across this one.

back in the times when i used winmo 6.1 you could set the app to block incoming calls, and sms and it wouldn't even show an icon that something happend. the only way to know if this person tried to call you or text you, you should go into the logging area :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mobilehavoc:
Just curious, what happens if I follow the rooting steps in the other thread but only do this:

adb push /directory_you_placed_asroot2/asroot2 /data/local/

adb shell

chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/bin

cat sh > su

chmod 4755 su

At this point, what state is the phone in? Do I have full root access to the file system? What are the issues/concerns if I don't proceed with flashing the recovery image. Just trying to understand the process and what each step is for. I understand the part above but can't understand why you have to flash a recovery image and can't just use the phone after root is achieved.

Thanks in advance. FYI...all I want to do with root access is delete some system files, nothing more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
You don't have to flash the recovery image. I believe from that code you would have root and can run programs that require root. However, you would be unable to flash a new rom or any other update.zip (which means no auto apps2sd), partition your sd card easily or backup your phone in case something goes wrong. I suppose you are probably just asking for the sake of asking and knowledge but this is why a recovery image is HIGHLY recommended.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mobilehavoc:
thanks. So if I don't flash the recovery image, I can't update to cooked ROMs or do the stuff you suggested but will the phone otherwise function normal? i.e. I can update to a Sprint/HTC update, I can factory reset the phone (assuming that'll kill root), etc.? I may do the whole process with the recovery image later but don't need it right now.

I only need to do this as a stopgap until Sprint/HTC releases an update.
