[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
I just posted a little install log how I did it to get it working on my wiki: http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Google_Maps_Navigation

Maybe this can help some people that have problems

I did this on a ADP (G1) with CyanogenMod 4.2.5
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
(...) there is a possibility that you can get Navigation outside of Europe.

;-)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I updated my instructions to include the build.prop modifications.
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
Thx, I'm little tired and was thinking on different fronts, typos happen from time to time.

I just added some screenshots that show it in use.

I have a HTC magic 32B with Cyanogen. No joy though on adding the directions shortcut there is no option to use turn by turn.
[G1 Android Development] Boonyard:
I'm on a magic 32B with Cyanogen and its not working for me either.:(
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
You need to be more specific.

Can you get the Navigate option if you specify two endpoints within the USA in Maps?

If not, then you should check the other thread, as they have already done a lot of troubleshooting of this issue.
[G1 Android Development] migalito:
Thanks to all who made this happen !!!

Follow the instructions on the first post and it works great in my G1 with CyanogenMod v4.2.5 in Portugal ;)

Here is the proof :D
[G1 Android Development] Boonyard:
Sorry, I was more specific in an earlier post!

I have followed all the instructions in this thread and my maps ar exactly the same, no nav otion going between US locations, no nav options from a shortcut. I'm wondering if its an issue with my theme or with magic 32B's in general?

I'll have a look in the other thread, do you mean the normal nav thread?
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
There's another Think Tank thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582656), the goal of which was to get Navigation working on the Dream. This thread was created after that one was successful, so the initial assumption in this thread is that you already have Navigation working for US to US travel. I never had any issues enabling that on my phones, so I never had to troubleshoot it, so I'm not sure what the issue could be.

I know it's a long thread, but there is a lot of useful information in it (I read MANY pages of that thread).

But the main point is that this thread is an extension of that one. If you haven't achieved the goal of that thread, you can't achieve this one.
[G1 Android Development] xtreme_protector:
Great stuff guys !

Now, I wonder, can we do something about enabling navigation inside the maps application itself, without creating a shortcut, etc. ?

Any ideas ? Maybe some furthermodification of the maps application can do the trick.
[G1 Android Development] ipalaus:
Hello,

I've tried it and no way to make it work. I'm in Spain with HTC Dream with latest CyanogenMOD ROM (4.2.5).

I did the steps on the first post and used the build.trout.prop on the first thread about navigation pack posted in this forum too. I've readed on this thread that it's possible to use that.

Of course I've downloaded the Maps.ak in this thread.

I've tried to make a route between to USA cities like the first post said and NO Navigation link has appeared. I've tried the trick using a shortcut and the same, only step by step.

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Android Development] parrot5:
THANKS!

Followed the directions on the first post, and it works like a dream on my 32A Rogers Magic in Canada:D

Great job, people!

*the only extra step I took was to edit both the build.sapphire.prop and build.trout.prop, because they both contain that fingerprint line*
[G1 Android Development] d750:
Tested and works great in czech republic.
[G1 Android Development] chris4500uk:
Not sure if anybody has said already.

Works fine on my Magic 32b running Dwang 1.13

Edit: In the UK
[G1 Android Development] Boonyard:
Did you just follow the instructions of the first post in this thread? Or did you also do something with build.sapphire.?

Thanks canadiancow by the way!:D
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Then you need to follow the instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582656, because you can't get navigation outside the USA until you get it inside the USA.
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
build.trout.prop is used by the HTC Dream, and build.sapphire.prop is used by the HTC Magic. You only need to modify the file that corresponds with your device.

The real credit should go to Brut.all. He figured it out, and he made the apk.
[G1 Android Development] Zeltaz:
ive installed as said in previous posts and ive got Maps working and can get navigation, though only in the US, not here where I live (the UK)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Did you use the Maps.apk file that the first post in this thread links to?

Also, are you creating a shortcut on your home screen?
[G1 Android Development] Zeltaz:
I used the one on page 10 or something. I'll try with page one now :) thank you, will report if it worked or not :)
[G1 Android Development] WiPPaH:
UK Vodafone Sapphire(Magic) 32B - Working

Followed instructions on first post, but for the magic/mytouch/sapphire you need to edit the build.sapphire.prop then push this file.

Then install SpeechSynthesis

Test with 2 USA locations that you see the 'Navigate' option, if so go ahead and create that shortcut on your desktop.

[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Forget Costa Rica

I can get the Navigate option with 2 US addresses, but unfortunately all I get is "No Route Found" in Costa Rica. Probably because there are virtually no street addresses here. Anyways, Nice job Brut.all
[G1 Android Development] Zeltaz:
sorry for my novice skills but ive got a G1, and when installing, the part on page 1 saying : The ro.build.fingerprint line needs to begin with verizon/voles/sholes/. Nothing else in the file needs to be changed.

should I delete everything on that line and replace is with the above?
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
replace the hole line with

"ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys"
[G1 Android Development] happyface_0:
*Headsmack* No, it should look something like this

verizon/voles/sholes/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
You need from "trout" on. so it is verizon/voles/sholes/trout:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
[G1 Android Development] ipalaus:
I first installed this the other day. I can't get USA working. I've said I'm from spain?

Using the instructions on the other post I'll be able to navigate between USA cities?

Thank you,

Isern
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Yes, but if you use the Maps.apk file from this thread, you should be able to use Navigation anywhere.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Is navigate with a US start and Endpoint supposed to actually try to navigate, or just give the option and popup "route not found"?
[G1 Android Development] neoyagami:
ok folks

reinstalled previous props and using your maps.apk and works

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] golfer_boy:
Has anyone seen this on any version of the TP2?

User reports that when he selects the Full QWERTY keyboard it just shows the number keypad with the P and W buttons. This is the keypad that shows when entering a phone number in the HTC Contacts app.

I have seen this on a stock HTC TP2 and on an AT&T Tilt 2. The only fix so far is hard reset which is not too desireable. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdotcom76:

[General Questions and Answers] Arlanthir:
I was searching for tmail.exe parameters and it's pretty discussed how to open the new sms dialog, the various accounts, etc.

But what's the parameter to show a specific sms or (if in threaded mode) conversation? Even manilla does this, so I reckon it is possible. Anyone have a clue?

I guessed -conversation "contact" and -conversation 3, -view 3 and view "contact" etc... No success :S

I hope my grave mistake will be a lesson for those who decide to open the phone.

Long story short - ALWAYS, ALWAYS check the SD card slot before disassembling the phone. I forgot to do that and left the card in (I intended to replace the housing), and as a result, I have the slot cracked open. Now all my attempts to find a repair shop which can put it back together failed and the phone worths zero.

Now I am wondering whether anybody here can help me fix it. The problem is I cannot find any schematics of the SD card slot to put the spring and the other part back (I actually do not have any instruments except small screwdrivers and tweezers). If there is such a great guy who can do that, I will gladly pay him or her (I can mail the motherboard and parts together with a check that will cover mailing it back to me).

Here are the pictures of what happened and what was inside the slot:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nandobang:
Man, I feel for that damage =\

If I didn't lived in such a far place as Brazil, I would try to fix your phone.

My Wizard is disassembled, and right now, all I could see is that the spring goes on right side, as staring the motherboard on the first pic.

I'll take some macro shots here and try to help you.

Good luck and cheers

Thank you for your kind words, man! Yes, any hint will help - I have no idea how that little cog is attached (and if it's not bent).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Mokele Mbembe:
Sorry for asking for help again!

Does anyone know where to get the schematics of push-pull SD card slot? I wanna try fixin it myself, its just that cog that bothers me.

Another possibility would be to buy a drive for lets say, netbooks, and either solder it to the MB, or carefully disassemble to see what's inside. The question is - where to buy such part?

Thanks in advance to everybody!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ashko:
I have 3 questions for the forum -

1) Why is it required to do a Hard-SPL and upgrade the Radio before upgrading to a Custom ROM?

2) I downloaded a Custom ROM and after unzipping I saw only 1 .nbh file. To update the ROM do I need to copy this file to the CustomRUU folder? There is already a nbh file present there - do I overwrite it?

3) If I am not happy with the Custom ROM - can I go back to the Original HTC ROM? I have it downloaded. Also - will the Radio be updated back to the Original ROM as well?

Any help is appreciated!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] longice:
1) Read the upgrading guide here and ye shall learn.

2) Yes. Or the other way around (copy the CustomRUU file to the ROM folder).

3) Yes and yes. Stock ROMs usually include Radio as well.

Good luck :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ashko:
Thanks for the response. I did go through that guide. I got the reason for the Hard-SPL - but why the radio? Why do we need to upgrade or change the radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lacroixdp:
First of all, a BIG thank you to everyone on the Dream forum, including tee aiy emm, JAguirre1231, and Followinginsanity, amongst others for posting enough information for me to get this little guy together, along with the guy that made the original version of these batch files. Attached is a file to install Google Navigation on the HTC Sapphire! Just run Part 1, let it reboot, then run Part 2 and let it do it's thing. If it doesn't work, uninstall Google Voice and reinstall it. It worked without me having to do that, however.

WARNING! I'm NOT a programmer, and I'm not even particularly good at Linux or scripting, so you do this AT YOUR OWN RISK! This isn't something I made from scratch - this is just a few different posts worth of information hacked together.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] joeygil:
Looking at the batch files, it looks like this doesn't push back the original prop files. Do all your applications work with the modified versions?

Any idea if this will be an issue with future ROM upgrades?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lacroixdp:
All of my applications work with no hiccups, wifi works, 3G works, everything I've tested works with no problems. Of course, we could run into some of the same problems that the Dream forum users are running into.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ScottC:
One minor error - you are missing the ADB command in front of reboot in the first batch file.

I'll take this for a spin and see how it works, thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lacroixdp:
For anyone else having problems, here's an Undo batch file. Just run it in the same directory as the install and it will reverse the prop file changes and reboot your phone. I haven't tried it on a phone with a Hero ROM - you might try the original version of this batch file located on the Dream's forum.

This might help you guys with Hero ROMs out:

My HD2 either doesn't discover the storage card, or loses it after just a few moments.

I have tried two different cards (the 2GB supplied and my 8GB microSDHC).

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Any ideas?

Or is my phone defective.... Help!
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
^2 options

either storage card is defective or phone is defective...

seems like you did a cross change...

try another storage card on HD2 and try your HD2 storage card on another phone.

then you know which one causes this.

Usually 95% of the cases its the storage card thats defective
[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
My 8Gb card works in my Xperia X1 - the card is a Sandisk Micro SD HC. Whereas the card supplied is a 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD.

Not sure what HC is.

I assume the HD2 can take a 8Gb card - but unsure about the difference in the cards.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
HC = High Capacity IIRC

The HD2 can take an 8gb card.

The cards don't seem to be faulty (that is assuming that you've tested the 2gb also).
[HD2 General] Teneka_Khan:
Try a reset/hard boot. I have had this issue before with other phones and that sometimes fixes
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
indeed SD stands for Secure Digital and HC for High Capacity...

the next generation will be SDXC (with eXtended capacity)...but thats coming 2010 or 2011..

anyway seems like your phone has an issue. Because HTC devices of the last few years are all capable of SDHC memory cards and they support either 16 or 32 GB.

I would make use of my warranty. But before try a hard reset.
[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
Thank you all for the information.

The HD2 doesn't like that 8GB SDHC Card. When in the memory section of the phone, it recognises it, displays it used/free space, then shortly afterwards states no card is installed!

A hard reset, if no luck, I'll return it... fingers crossed.
[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
Crap!

Hard reset didn't work! Why do I always get the duff unit!

I find it strange that it detects the card for a while then loses it...

Sending it back tomorrow for exhange.... :(

thats the only reason I'm not such a big fan of online orders...in warranty cases everything takes a little longer.
