Yes your G1 have to be rooted. You have to install cyanogen and EVERYThing.

Just installed this, this is great stuff.
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Works as advertised! Thanks!

I just wanted to add my thanks for this easy to use application! I installed it over Dwang's v1.12 with the black theme using Amon-RA's Recovery Image and it worked perfectly after rebooting!

Thanks again! Great job!

when done properly, the google map icon will turn into just “maps.” if anyone still has problems, try this. 1. go into recovery mode, 2. send cache to sd card 3.format sd card. google maps will now just be “maps”
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
yup you can install this one

Quick question. I just got a google ion phone (Mytouch3g ADP2) do i need to root it or can i just flash this? Also if i flash this could i still recieve ota updates?
[G1 Android Development] HeydavidV:
Thanks for this theomajigga. Both Nav and FB are working perfectly on my G1 while running Cyanogen 4.2.4!
[G1 Android Development] smasraum:
does anyone know if this is permanent yet or does it still go away at midnight and require reinstallation?
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I've ran this for two days and it still works flawlessly. I'm just wondering if we'll need to re-flash it after we update our ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] |Logic|:
ya, i was wondering the same thing :confused:

[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
copy file to sd card. if you have a modded recovery skip next step

rename to update.zip instead of update_navigation.zip

reboot holding "HOME" into recovery.

select apply update.zip or choose zip

:HOME: to confirm

reboot
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
1. Reboot in recovery (home + power while off)

2. chose update.zip (chose the update_navigation.zip)

3. install

4. reboot

5. Run maps, if no navigation continue on

6. Click settings

7. Click applications

8. Click Manage sources

9. scroll to maps

10. clear data

11. never get lost

can anyone say that handcent still locates contacts after running this update.zip?
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
Hmm i looked through the rest of the file. You have to completely rid the phone of the old map files before the nav will work... afaik.. anything with maps.apk in it. there is at least one reference in the dalvik-cache, and can be more depending on the version, and rom you are using.

This may be an issue.
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
I believe that when you go to the apps and clear the data for the maps, it gets rid of it...
[G1 Android Development] followinginsanity:
I can say it works as normal on mine. (Though I made my modifications by hand.) But once implemented correctly, you can have navigation and hancent, and the new facebook all running in harmony.
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
Well, wiped, flashed....lost, what about a theme would cause this to not work? in 4.2.3.1 I used same theme and it worked fine, I was able to keep the pops and no affects to apps I use. Now it won't try again. But note when I upgraded to 4.2.4 from 4.2.3.1 it worked until I put theme, which I understood and tried to redo nav still with no success.

[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
I just updated to Cyanogen 4.2.5.

So far no problems with anything else. Nav works as well. I'm getting the Facebook FC now. I was not having that problem on 4.2.4.
[G1 Android Development] unchainedrssr:
LOL! I thought I was doing something wrong. I already had this facebook app. It's just a regular app that I had for about 3 weeks.

I really thought that it was going to be some new, and otherwise unattainable, app.

Okay, now that that's cleared up, Nav works great and everything installs perfectly. No problems for me while installing and using this cool new feature!

Thanks:D
[G1 Android Development] Flandro:
update

So I had this working on Cyanogen 4.2.4. I update to Cyanogen 4.2.5. Navigation was gone. No big deal, I'll just run the update-navigation.zip file. After running the navigation update, my mod version says 4.2.4 again.... what's the deal?
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
it will do that because it is just taking over the string....

everyhting is 4.2.5 anyhow,,,,,
[G1 Android Development] odomandr:
just updated to 4.2.5 from 4.2.4, the facebook widget said it had problems so i took it off, then went to open the facebook app and the icon was missing, went to the market and it shows still installed but will not allow me to open it or uninstall it. rebooted phone same issues.
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
Exactly what's happening to me.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
I had to reflash the update.zip to get facebook/nav to work after upgrading to cm4.2.5 today. Works fine now.
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
Done that twice, with no luck.
[G1 Android Development] artismyrevolt:
well, updated to cm4.2.5 and nav worked flawlessly.

tested it out to get home from work, perfect, and when i got home, i noticed that it had exited nav and taken me back to the destination information screen of the maps app. (if that makes any sense) but i noticed the navigation option was no longer under "get directions".

tested it out with another location and lo and behold the navigation was gone. reflashed the update-navigation.zip and all is well...

anyone else have this issue? namely that the navigation goes away after you have arrived at your destination?
[G1 Android Development] :
same here. i'm trying to locate a copy of the apk for the old version of facebook i had installed with no such luck as of yet...obviously can't download it off the market...doh!
[G1 Android Development] theomajigga:
I'll try this out tomorrow.

It didn't happen on 4.2
[G1 Android Development] wakeupkeo:
Same here, reflash with no luck.
[G1 Android Development] unchainedrssr:
upgraded to 4.2.5 and followed the same steps when flashing the nav. No problems.

I did use taskmanager to make sure that maps was not running in background. Cleared map data, uninstalled google voice, blah, blah, blah... :rolleyes:

Worked like a charm.

I will try to recreate the before mentioned issue with nav app after arriving at a destination, tomorrow.

I hope I don't have the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] :
Alright, found a fix. Download the old version of facebook I have attached to this post and use Astro or another file manager to install it. Mine went through without any issue.

Now, to see if I can remove it and have the remnants of the app taken along with it...
[G1 Android Development] unchainedrssr:
Btw, I lost my maps icon as well. I used the google search widget and it found my app that was still in the system. Just the icon was gone. Weird.

There is already an eclair theme for cyanogen's 4.2.5 that includes this nav function.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] :
We're in business ;-) w0ot

Now, time to unregister myself from that Thai bulletin board I got the old apk from...
[G1 Android Development] mikeybags:
Hmm...actually installing that old version didn't work for me.

But I actually got it working. All I did was open the "update_navigation.zip", pull the NEW facebook apk from there, and install THAT using astro, and it works fine now.

When I tried installing the com.facebook.katana thing the installation just wouldn't work. I don't remember the error message I got, but it woudln't even try to install it. I saw it in manage apps as well, but when I selected it it would keep kicking me out instead of letting me delete it.

So I think just installing the APK from this zip is probably the best bet.
[G1 Android Development] joel2nd:
This worked perfect for me. Placed the apk directly from the "update_navigation.zip" file on my SD card and used the App Installer app. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Using google ion 1.6 rom, now I don't have service to T-mobile.

I performed a backup using nandroid just in case...looks like Im gonna have to use it.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I tried both update_navigation and update_navigation_AOSP and both broke my provider connection/signal. I did notice it made Mobile Defense keep force closing...not sure if Mobile Defense had something to do with it or not...

update fix

you need to update cyanogenmod version from 4.2.4 to 4.2.5
[G1 Android Development] Krow9teen:
agreed, threw me off for a minute when cyan updater told me i hadn't installed the update, a simple build.prop edit took care of the issue
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I lost navigation when I had to wipe and upgraded to cm 4.2.5.

Interestingly, simply changing the phone identifier to this line

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

wasn't enough to fix navigation (yes I rebooted). Neither was installing and reinstalling GV (no reboot).

BUT.

I had created a navigation shortcut to home on my desktop, which will open navigation and direct me to my house. This works. However, I am absolutely positive the "navigate" option is not available going through google maps.

And thinking back, I remember another time the option to "navigate"was missing, then right before my eyes the screen flashed and there it was. This is telling us something about the code which allows google maps to navigate. Going straight to the navigation program seems to bypass the code in google maps to check for fingerprint signature....

And by the way, rebooting after reinstalling Gvoice had Gnav working through Gmaps. So:

1. only changing the line of code is insufficient in some handsets to enable Gnav.

2. Reinstalling Gvoice somehow is changing something additionally to enable navigation, but only after a reboot.

3. Direct shortcuts to navigation seem to work, even when the "Navigation" option in Gmaps is missing.

Also,

we are missing some of the functionality of Gnav somehow. The voice commands are more limited than in the droid. For example, on the Droid you can say "navigate to...adress" and it will directly open navigation up and take you to that address. On the G1, you will get a google search for that exact phrase (including the words navigate to) You are not supposed to have to click on the navigate button in google search. Open up the help file and read the list of voice commands and how they work. Or try it on a droid.
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
So is this only for Cyanogen ROMs? I see the option for AOSP, but most of the people I see with success have Cyanogen ROMs, where as it failed for me, using the Google Ion 1.6 ROM.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
i checked all three .prop files from before and after reinstalling Gvoice. They are identical. Google voice is enabling Gnav (after the line change) some other way than by changing the .prop files.

Or perhaps Google voice has nothing to do with it. I don't know anymore.
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
I think this has more to do with the 1.6 search engine than the Nav app. Until there is a working 2.0 port for the Dream, we're probably always going to experience oddities like this anytime we try kludge a 2.0 app into a 1.6 environment.
[G1 Android Development] clide8:
Try this procedure. Something happens as the clock rolls over midnight that causes Market and Navigation to recognize the changes to the fingerprint.

1. Make sure Market and other google apps are not running in the background

2. Go to your time and date settings. Set the time to 11:59 PM and quickly exit to your home screen

3. Wait until your phone reaches 12:01 without doing anything

4. Check if Nav works

5. Change your phone time back to normal.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
That sounds like about correct. Something changes, somewhere. And simply changing the fingerprint line is not enough. I think your trick would work (cant test it, already got it going). Or sometimes I think a couple of reboots or installing Gvoice does the job.

Your solution seems like the best way to trigger the correct reading of the fingerprint. It should be mentioned somewhere, maybe the OP.
[G1 Android Development] eleazar6:
With all the talk about Google Voice, I thought I'd add my experience.

Voice isn't needed, just the speech synthesis libraries (which Nav should ask for initially). You can get it thru a market search for "speech synthesis" or settings - speech synthesis - install voice data. I'm posting this because google voice seemed to be a memory hog... and I didn't use it. Installing just the libraries is a more lightweight solution.

You might want to edit the first post with this info.
[G1 Android Development] grivad:
Ditto. What does the Facebook add-on do??

I've noticed it adds a Note to all of my contacts with what appears to be a Facebook profile number, but...what good is that? What does this add-on actually do? Is there a way to use that Note for something? Does the Facebook app use it somehow? etc.

I've played around with it but haven't noticed anything new (save for the new version of the app) or any sort of integration.

Help..?
[G1 Android Development] kevev:

Can we get some screen shots of the new navigation feature in maps as well as some of the facebook app and widget? A change log of the facebook app would be very helpful as well.

Thank you and great work!
[G1 Android Development] Facegarden:
I realize that it makes sense that you have to have GPS enabled, but it's a good idea to remind people to check. If you forget that google has that setting off by default, and you just install nav and then try to use it, it won't work and you my not realize GPS got turned back off, since the setting is buried anyway. I mean, the option to navigate just completely doesn't show up if GPS is off. It does make sense, but it still took me about 20 minutes of messing with stuff to realize that was what was happening, because I just didn't think about it. It would be worth it to put that in the first post, as a reminder for people.

-Taylor

EDIT: When i say "It won't work", I mean you don't even get the option to navigate, which makes it look like you just messed up the install. *THAT* is why i think it's important to remind people to check - since many people will just assume the install went bad and run in circles for a while.

[G1 Android Development] robkoehler:
it's just the droid version of the facebook app. different ui.....nothing really special. def not anything groundbreaking, just looks better/cleaner i would say
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Solution:

I had exactly same problems. Here is my history. After 4.2.5 update, my facebook icon reported that facebook was not installed on the system. So, I pushed the Facebook.apk to /system/app and tried again. Then I got the FC on startup (fc on com.facebook.katana). So, I went to settings>applications>manage applications>facebook and cleared the cache. Went back into app and got the "enter your facebook settings" and got the "Error, could not connect, try again later." In other words, I got every error possible getting Facebook app running again after Cyanogen 4.2.5 update.

Here is how I fixed it:

1. You must know how to use adb. If not, then learn it--not that hard.

2. From windows or linux get to a terminal screen (cmd in windows).

3. type the following adb commands to remove all instances of Facebook from phone.

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/Facebook.apk (you will have to hit yes or "y")

adb shell rm /system/sd/app/*Facebook*

adb shell rm /system/sd/app/*facebook*

adb shell rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Facebook*

adb shell rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*facebook*

now, you will get some messages like "no such file or directory" on some of the above commands and that is ok, the commands are overkill and being thorough.

If you cannot delete Facebook.apk with above command, then do this

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm Facebook.apk

exit

Now, copy the Facebook.apk (extract it from the update_navigation.zip) to your sd card. Can do this with adb with

adb remount

adb push c:/Facebook.apk /system/sdcard

exit

Or you can do it with usb mount and dragging it to your sd card. I just like using adb.

Now go to your phone and load up Astro File Manager and install. You will see that the version is 1.1.0.

After it installs, open and enter credentials, and all is good.

Points of interest: Facebook.apk within the update_navigation.zip installed via recovery screen is placed in the /system/app directory. After install via your sd card and Astro (steps above), it no longer resides there as a system app. Second, if you have to reinstall update_navigation.zip after your Cyanogen 4.2.5 install and your phone is now reporting 4.2.4, to get your build to reflect 4.2.5, change the last line of your build.prop in your /systems directory to 4.2.5. Push it to your phone and you are all neat and tidy.

Hope this helps. Facebook app works perfectly now with no FCs or "Error, can not connect, try again later" messages.

Also, if you are not already using Switchrom, then do so immediately. This is without a doubt the best backup program for your Android. You can hose your phone and bring it back with Switchrom to the exact state it was in. Click link in my sig to find it. I also use the "modified" version on page 24. Dumfuq added additional scripts to it. So, for a complete backup, you go to recovery, then to console from recovery, then:

mount /system/sd

sh /system/sd/switchrom.sh -s

this backups everything to your sd card under switchrom directory. BTW this does NOT backup your sd card (/system/sdcard)--Switchrom is a system backup.

Is anybody actively trying to fix the wifi issue? If not, can somebody tell me how to get rid of this version of Maps and get back to another version? I am going nuts without wifi, and I'm sure you're all familiar with the issue of TMo's signal sucking indoors. I get full 3G outside and two bars of EDGE sitting here in my living room.
