Brut.all!!!!! I'm very disappointed with you >=( ... ¬¬...

Naaaaaaah... Just kidding!!!! If I were a girl I would love you ^^...

Now, the only thing that bothers me a little bit (actually it's a really stupid thing so you don't have to pay attention at all on this) is that every time you release a new modded version I need to uninstall the previous one and then install the new one...

Is there a way to make it more like an incremental upgrade??? It's only because I'm a little bit lazy and I have to put my configuration all over again with every new install =D...

Well thats it... =D ... You don't have to do it if you don't want to as I don't really care about it.

Thanks a lot for all the work you've done =D...

PD: Testing the "release to test" version =D...

Someone has translated your post here: http://hiapk.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=232561&highlight=brut#

Hey Brut, I am from China, and I know xda :-) I always check this forum. But most of users in China do not care who build the app. Anyway, great work!
[G1 Android Development] Jubei:
They've added that option? Where coz my latest brut.all maps doesn't have it. I don't think the official maps has it either. Brut.all can you plx hack in an option to avoid Toll Roads?^^ pretty please? :D
[G1 Android Development] nakeman:
Hi Brut,

i come from Hong Kong China, and i think we owe you a "THANKS".

Please keep up your works; it's great.

BTW, the multi-touch works weird, it is always shrinking even you are trying to pinch it to expand. :o
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Glad to hear that :-) I'm sure I don't add all data, that are sent from servers in native navigation (US/UK). My guess is in native there are for example voices when you are 400m from next turn and in this brutdev version there are only voices right before a turn. I must do some research on it :-)

Dzięki! :-)

I don't really know. From the beginning there were people asking about shift fix and others who claimed they don't have this issue - on both XDA and Hiapk. Even that guy, who was working on this issue and gave me tools to fix it, when downloaded brut12 has discovered, that everything is ok even with "location faking" option disabled. He was confused a little and then he discovered that he naturally don't have this issue at this moment.

All I know is: when your map is shifted, enabling "location faking" should fix this. Needless to say, if you don't have this issue right now and you will enable "location faking", your position will be broken... I think you will have to switch it from time to time (it would be hard to detect it automatically) or find an answer to, why sometimes this issue occurs and sometimes not. Maybe fix won't be needed soon.

As I wrote in FAQ section I believe it's Android's issue. Someday I had this problem when I tried to update original Maps from Market, also I found issue report somewhere on Google sites - there were many people complaining. Since I moved from CM4.* to CM5.* I don't have this problem - on both original and modded GM.

You could try to search on internet, because it's not related with this version only. If you find something, let us know :-)

Yeah, this "someone" is celloin from XDA :-)

Just start navigation, then Menu -> Route info -> click on gears and you are there :-)

I guess you're on Donut? Prior to GM4.1 MT was working flawlessly on nearly all custom Donut roms, but then Google has broken something ( ;-) ), so MT become unusable. Seems it detects multitouch events, but there is no reaction or it is random.

It's on my TODO list, but has low priority.

Apps don't install themselves, package manager does it ;-) I don't know, how to create app, so it won't be installable because of storage problems :-)

You could try to look into logcat.

Thank you Mr. Brut, really great work!!

I would spend some money if there is a newsletter system which send me up2date .apk file to my gmail account! :cool:

Spoken issue

@Brut.All, please, any solution to this issue ?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Most of the time I ignore questions which are answered in FAQ / QA section / instructions:

EDIT:

There is also "navi: turn symbols without forcing locale" on TODO list in first post. Just in case you would want to ask about that.
[G1 Android Development] :
thank's for the answer!

last Q: is in the FUTURE ToDo list?

agree
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
thanks man it worked great after my GPS Took 10 min to locate me but thats not your fault

GREAT JOB MAN And thanks for everything
[G1 Android Development] acamar:
Feature request: track recording and loading (like KML/GPX). It would be perfect if tracking feature can be added.

Again, thanks for great app!
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I think you should use other app, for example My Tracks and My Maps Editor. I don't see much sense in hacking GM to add these features.

P.S.

Actually... I'm just working on something similar right now ;-D Will explain on brut13 release.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
http://ul.to/jpo4al/maps4.2.0.4210-brut13.apk

My feelings are this voice feature is much better, than in last brutdev version. Don't rely on it too much though - until some people will test it in real conditions and we will be sure that it works well.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I just discovered that there is testing version of vector maps in GM :-) I was waiting for this, because vectors are definitively better, Google has most of things done already in navigation and they have vector data everywhere.
[G1 Android Development] jmdsdf:
Building an app from source against Brut instead of Google Maps

Is there an easy way I can build, say mytracks or wardriver from source referencing Brut maps instead of the official Google Maps? (I understand how to compile in Eclipse, and have a beginners knowledge of Java, but not much beyond that) I don't want to yet root my Nexus One to replace the default maps app, but want to take advantage of the cached tiles in those apps. Possible? If so, what do I change in the source to compile it against Brut?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Why are you think these apps reference/are compiled against Google Maps? These applications don't have anything to do with GM, you can even uninstall last one and everything will be ok.

And where you want to download sources of mytracks app?
[G1 Android Development] hiong:
Uploaded.to never worked for me, always end up with a 13kB apk. Anybody else with the same experience?
[G1 Android Development] tuxStyle:
Yep, me.

I have to use a computer to download.

Is not working with Dolphin.
[G1 Android Development] celloin:
As far as I know, currently in Shanghai, China, Google maps is the only US native application on Android OS that has the "shift" issue fixed in their original release, so I'm a bit confused why there're so many people complaining their official GM has this "shift" problem.

For me, the "shift" occurs in, such as Google buzz widget, My Tracks for Android, etc.

What I expected was someone here in XDA could build a tool to fix the "shift" for all GPS based application while exclude Google maps only by default. Now I think that won't work for all people here in China...

well, "someone" is Lilian not me... she's my 'best friend' since we were both using palm devices long time ago.
[G1 Android Development] Sunshineplan:
Thank you Brut. This really fixed my **** problem.
[G1 Android Development] dzuljo:
Uninstallation of original maps:

You must have rooted device to do it:

adb remount
adb shell "find /system /data -name *com.google.android.apps.maps.apk* -o -name Maps.apk | xargs rm"
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

hi

is it possible to uninstall with terminal or console

thanks
[G1 Android Development] jmdsdf:
Google Maps API

So Google Maps Brut won't cache tiles for other apps that use the Google Maps API? Sorry, I thought it would. I thought mytracks was open-source, my mistake.
[G1 Android Development] yeyuguang:
3ks for you, Brut!:)
[G1 Android Development] shadiku:
Bravo on fixing the voice!
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
No. Maps API is a part of the system. I think it would be possible to cache data in apps using this API, but this would require to hack system, not just some app.

BTW funny thing is, if I'm not mistaken, GM doesn't use Maps API :-)
[G1 Android Development] ro-mann:
Re: [APPMOD][19.05.10] Brut Google Maps 4.2.0.4210-brut13

Great work brut, but is there any way we would have turns without us_en locale?

First of all, many many thanks to Brut.all for this mod! I've been using it for about a month now and I love it!

I do encounter one annoying issue tho: in Maps, when typing a destination address when I want to calculate a route, sometimes the app just closes and I find myself on the homescreen... I have a feeling this has to do with the app trying to find suggestions while I'm typing. Anyone else have this? Is there a solution?
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
Yes, try to learn how to use google...

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

Spoken directions work great, thanks Brut.all.

One minor thing, when it speaks a highway name, it says "Highway 20 double-u" instead of "Highway 20 West", etc...

And I still get the "data connection lost" problem sometimes.

But still, this is the greatest Brut release so far :)
[G1 Android Development] Skythe:
Thanks to brut.all for Australia for _continued_ support of this app, you are awesome :D
[G1 Android Development] :
little problem.

the spoken is played allways when the turn has passed.
[G1 Android Development] Gazorninplat:
Any mirrors for Brut13? The rapidshare one only has up to Brut11 (although I was sure I got Brut12 from that mirror).

Thanks. And that install.bat thing is genius!!! why isn't it posted in the main post!!
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I just used Nav for the first time in months, to go somewhere I've never been.

I forgot how useless it is outside the USA. The voice prompts are really too late to be useful, if you even get them.

I'm not sure if we can do anything about these issues, but I hope Google starts compiling their own road data elsewhere.
[G1 Android Development] mattv888:
huh, i'm on latest CM, and everything works flawlessly except for MT. It is way to sensitive. Pinch my fingers one millimeter and it goes from the world map to the Eiffel tower. Hence it's pretty much unusable for me. The Eclair browser's MT works fine. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] sherwink20:
guys, was trying this for quite some time but it seems i still can't make it work.

First of all, does it work for all countries? I live in the Philippines. never got navigation to work. was reading through in forums etc and i realized that it was only here where the "directions" feature don't work (always no route found)

does that mean it doesnt work here for the philippines? could this possibly have a workaround?
[G1 Android Development] ojerez01:
I'm trying to install with the install.bat but I can not. If I install the. Apk installation begins but comes to the point that says you can not install. It is as if one is installed, but can not find it anywhere and I can not erase it. If I go to market, says it is installed, but I can not uninstall or run, because the buttons are grayed out and disabled. If I look at the market, just not let me install because it says it is. Help

A greeting
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
thank you! is it the alt version?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Menu->Directions->Go - if you can see a list of driving directions, but after clicking on "Navigate" you get "No route found", then something is wrong.

Brut Maps on Motorola Milestone

Thank you very much for this great app. It works on Milestone side by side with the standard Maps. Really, for me, the only point interesting would be to change the icon.

Great Work. I have installed in my MT3G with SuperD 1.9.2 and is no problem at this moment
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Nav Launcher 2.2.0 (just published to Market) will install the latest modified version of Google Maps for you, if you're having difficulty. However, it only works if you do not have Google Maps Navigation already installed.
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
any idea when the navigation bugs will be fixed?
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
When a member of the community, such as yourself, fixes them.
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
Would you please post the alt version to another site for download? thank you!
[G1 Android Development] sherwink20:
Hi Brut.all,

thanks for the reply, appreciate it. It seems it is the country that is not supported. I tried to go to "Palo Alto" to "Stanford" then hit the directions and it gives me directions.

However, from "starbucks Glorietta" to another location in the Philippines it just gives me "no route found" I think google itself hasn't supported directions for Philippines. shucks, might have to wait if there is any garmin app arriving. (that is the only company supporting navigation here I believe.)
[G1 Android Development] JonasDroid:
NICE ONE!!

Didn't thought voice guidance would be possible on hacked maps, u amazed me again :D

I'll give it a try in a few minutes :D
[G1 Android Development] RdKetchup:
What version are you running? 12 or <, or 13?

In version earlier than 13, it was a known issue. In 13 it is fixed.

[G1 Android Development] Xairo:
works great! thnx!!:D:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] JonasDroid:
I tested it yesterday and overall the voice guidance is great.

But there are some minor things that aren't working as I expect them to:

- When I don't follow the route exactly as I should it's telling me: lost data connection (phone is in my pocket as I'm driving a motorcycle). When I stop and take a look at the map it's still showing the route I was supposed to take even though I'm at a complete other place. It's not recalculating as it thinks that it hasn't got data connection (but it does) when I close navigation and restart it gives me new directions.

- What I noticed too, was that when you need to turn left and you have an other direction right after the turn, it's not telling me when to take the second direction untill it's too late. In stead of saying: "turn left and then turn right directly after" or something.

- An other thing is when it's saying the direction a bit before you need to take the turn (I think its 200m before the next turn) but it's not saying how far you need to drive to take the next turn, it's only saying: "turn left/right onto ..." would be nice if it would say: "in 200m turn left/right onto ..."

Dno what you can or can't do about it but I just thought I'd let you know.

Wanna thank u for all the great work you did so far
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
If you would use maps caching, you would not exhaust your data plan ;-P

Did you get an Evo? Lucky man :-/ AFAIR you bought your N1 not so long ago, wanna put one of them in good hands? ;-D

@JonasDroid

I wanna add something, which will greatly help me debugging such issues.

Maybe it's issue of your OS. Especially if "I have a feeling this has to do with the app trying to find suggestions while I'm typing.". Do you have similar problems with other apps? Did you tried to look into logcat? I didn't ever get such crash and I have GM opened for several hours a day ;-)

Hi, might be the OS (Acer Liquid, android 2.1, LCR 1.6) , but I never have this kind of thing on any other app. Also, it doesn't force close, just goes back to the Launcher as if I'd exited, without popup. The issue also existed when I used Brut.all v11.

How do I look into logcat?

Never mind this post... Was about directions voice in english (turn directions)... Already readed the first post :)...

Sorry the inconvenience...
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Yea I got an Evo. It's useless to me in Canada, and it's going to be more difficult to sell than an N1.

I bought one N1. I've received two for free, and I just got a free Evo.

I'll send you a few dollars through PayPal if you need help buying a new device, but I'm not quite willing to give you something I can sell for $500 :p
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
No, thanks, I just kidding :-)

I could buy N1 by myself, but I'm waiting for something newer. When N1 was released I was thinking it will have similar support, as other devices - 6 months of life and then manufacturer will go for newer devices, N1 will be "abandoned". My G1 wasn't so old, so I decided to wait for these new devices.

Now I see Google take care of its children, N1 is on top of Android devices, so I regret that I didn't buy it in January. And continuing my philosophy I wait for something newer, because I don't want to buy device which is nearly half a year old. Maybe it's stupid, I don't know ;-)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I don't know if you noticed (I was at I/O so I wasn't keeping up with this thread much), but theres a new build of 4.2.0 showing up in aTrackDog. My guess is that it's either to fix some small bug, or to fix some issue with Maps on Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Yeah, it is there for some time. Just one commit ahead.

[G1 Android Development] Becksman:
Has someone got a link which is accessible from the android browser? I can neither download from uploaded.to nor from mediafire with my G1. And unfortunately the automatic download from Nav Launcher isn't linked to the newest version.

Becksman
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
There was one posted a few pages back.

I've been looking into ways to better handle updates in Nav Launcher, without overcomplicating it or requiring unnecessary permissions.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
If only someone would like to host my mod somewhere: no problems with downloading it worldwide, from Android, without clicking through some banner-site and Nav Launcher would benefit from that too. But I think no one will want to host it ;-)
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I have added direct link in first post.

EDIT:

It's dead, sorry :-/
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Can't you host it on Google Code like what Cyanogen does for his roms?

http://cyanogenmod.googlecode.com/files/update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test7-signed.zip
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
In case anyone had doubts, I'd just like to point out that it still works on Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
No, because Brut.all can't legally distribute the modified app. Google would pull it pretty quickly.
[G1 Android Development] Becksman:
Thanks, I looked through the last pages and could only find the mediafire mirror, which neither works for me.

So I'll have to wait until I'm back on a regular pc...

Thank you anyhow for the ongoing development and support!
[G1 Android Development] doggie123:
Hurray, the new Mediafire link works from my HTC Desire browser!

@Becksman, maybe it helps if you set the browser to Mobile View -> 'disabled' (in Settings)?
[G1 Android Development] Becksman:
Heeey, I tried the mediafire link again, and today it worked! Interesting - I did not change any settings (browser was already set to regular website view). Yesterday I tried it 4 or 5 times and the mediafire page would never proceed any further than 'processing download request'.

Finally :)
[G1 Android Development] digge:
First of all, thanks Brut for a great app. I'm having a slight problem, or rather feature suggestion, not sure if its possible to do but here goes.

I'm in Sweden, and i have force locale set and the speaking part works great apart from one thing, when it is to speak the streetnames it sounds awful if you can even hear what it says. I'm guessing its the TTS in English its using to pronounce Swedish names. Would it be possible to have some kind of force other language for the TTS to other then English? Preferably only the names part of it. As far as i know i have Swedish TTS installed since other apps can use it and it sounds ok (wouldn't say its a great TTS for Swedish but it works :P )

Finally keep up the good work Brut!
