Brut Google Maps: Login Failed and freezing app on Nexus S

I get Login Failed when I start Brut Google Maps. If I try to access Starred Places or Join Latitude, the app just freezes. I am not getting any requests to grant permission to the app.

When I start the app the log says:

I/ActivityManager( 106): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=brut.googlemaps/com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity } from pid 196

When I select the Join Latitude button, the button stays yellow, the app freezes, and I get:

If I try pressing another button, I get a Force Close/Wait window.

just tested, the previous version brut16 worked in Nexus S! Probably the caching thing doesn't work in brut17 causing it to hang, dunno its because of the internal sd card or clashing with google maps 5.0.

does this work on non-rooted LG optimus one?

Hi, this sounds really awesome given that I am in India where google navigation is not yet available, however being new to android, I have few questions:

1. Does this work on non-rooted LG optimus one P500, I mean if I don't uninstall the pre-installed google maps?

2. Does the navigation work without active internet connection? I will be traveling to Japan and don't want to pay for international roaming :)

3. Which of the three APK files mentioned in the first post is recommended?

I might have been asking things already asked, but forgive me for being lazy not to read through 220+ pages of posts... :P
[G1 Android Development] nraudigy2:
I put my andnav.zip (1.48GB Store compression) file in /sdcard/brut.googlemaps/tiles/map-en_US-andnav/

Still no go for me. Wifi works fine though. It looks like i put the zip file inside /map-en_US-andnav.zip folder from the instruction. Am I doing something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] scalp42:
I definately chmod 644 the file, but yet doesn't work.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] hardcore:
Brut, just wanna say thanks for this great mod.

I've been using stock Maps 5 together with brut 17 tagged renamed for Navigation and it's working great. Took a few tries and I had to install / uninstall Maps but it finally worked.

Looking forward to brut Maps 5 with international navigation.
[G1 Android Development] brussel:
make sure what english version you are using it might be GB or US or in my case ZA in south africa. Name the file map-en_US-andnav.zip and then put the zip file in the tiles folder. Then there is a setting under brut in the map application that allows you to choose cached maps. should work from there....
[G1 Android Development] nraudigy2:
I think it is just my zip file. Winrar wouldn't even let me zip that many files. I had to use 7zip. I guess I'll use tiles w/o zip.

Oh nvm my 1.5GB turns into 38GB.
[G1 Android Development] coradux:
Brut,

I want to tell something, maybe usefull. I have GM5 and brut 4.7 renamed installed. All works well, only GM 5 navigation not working because isn't enabled in my country (obvious). But, I have GM 4.7 Navigation set as default and if I use Google Maps 5 and I choose start point and ending point on map for points that are inside countries with GM Navigation enabled the GMN icon appears in the right corner and I can use it. It starts GM Navigation 4.7.brut. After the GM Navigation 4.7brut starts the start point changes to my GPS position and it shows me the route for the ending point. It's pretty much useless but maybe it is useful for you. I allways wonder how do you check if the Navigation is working right, I suppose you are in a country with GM Navigation enabled.

Brut: perhaps you can open source your code so that others can help out?
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hi. I really want vector maps to work for me. I downloaded the maps5 brut mod that you posted a few pages back...uninstalled my google maps, renamed your apk to com.google.android.apps.maps.apk and put it in my system/app folder. But whenever I click on it and run the install it says Instillation Failed.

Can you help me figure out how to get this running on my phone? Thanks! I'm running an HTC Hero CDMA with CM6.1

Thanks in advance!

(PS: I saw other people in this thread asking the same thing, but there never was a direct answer...sorry if I mistakenly missed it).
[G1 Android Development] :No-Frost::
I think that some people said that you must install the oficial google maps 5, then uninstall it an then install bruts...
[G1 Android Development] TMaYaD:
Open Source

@Brut.all

Do you think you can opensource your work on github or something so that we can help you out? I think someone asked this already.
[G1 Android Development] commando0:
application is great ......

many many thanks for your hard work and time

i have a minor issue i am unable to log in with my google account ?

any work around for this.......?
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:

[G1 Android Development] tomtom140:
It work's for me: tested on my Samsung galaxy tab...still I have tried the same on my Desire HD and is not working (running LeeDroid Rom) :(
[G1 Android Development] coradux:
Try login with Latitude.
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I doubt it would last long on Github or any other site like that.
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:
Why would you need to use it on your galaxy tab? It should be able to run the vector maps 5.0 by default. The hero just can't cuz of supposed hardware limitations. but I've heard that a few people with G1's and Magics got it running. I wish they would tell us how they did it.

Anyone? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] leslie222:

[G1 Android Development] tomtom140:
Just as info: try to navigate from Germany to Austria or Hungary or any other country...you will not be able to navigate just with Google maps...as soon you run burt maps, your problem is solved...tested on Desire HD and Samsung tab

@Brut.all

I just discover this mod and i think it's a wonderful idea, thank you for your work and if it's the case thanks to the people who help you in this project ;-)
[G1 Android Development] leslie222:
Hi Brut...Please please give us an update...I was abroad ,using 5.0 happily until i returned home and returned to reality....no navigation in my country yet!!! Please do gibe us your next version.....:-):-)
[G1 Android Development] kokesh:
Interesting thought

Maybe Google Maps 5.0 are Brut's maps, if you know what I mean :)

BTW: caching of route worked with last published Brut release very well - I've set destination, it did download the map around the track and than it worked!
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:
Can someone please explain how to get THIS Brut Maps 5.0 with forced vector mode to install on our phones? I have an htc hero, and it won't install...but others are reporting success. I've followed the instructions to no avail. Can someone take a look or let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! I REALLY want vector maps! Thanks! :D
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
where did u get this from?
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:
Brut posted it a few pages back.
[G1 Android Development] alexthearmo:
Here are some instructions that a kind fellow sent me. I haven't tested them out yet, but he asked me to post them. Hopefully they work! Your Maps.apk might not be in system/app but in the data folder. you'll have to cd to the right directory depending on where your maps are. Again...I didn't write the instructions, so if you have questions, PM the guy in the quote! I'm off for a few days! Bye!

Brut Maps 5

Hi,

The map attached is not 5.0 but the old one, has brut come up with Maps 5...The navigation is v.good in google maps
[G1 Android Development] stickydonkey:
Nope, still the old one... :(

No word/update from Brut for a long time. :(

Just hoping Google come up with an update soon for Maps 5.0.0 that includes more countries for navigation... The Brut MOD proves it will work... dunno why Google don't just open it up.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
It's quite simple actually. Google is licensing the map data from other companies. But they won't give google the license to do turn by turn navigation because they want to sell that to companies like Tom Tom. Also those licenses are much more expensive. Google is using their street view cars to create their own maps that they can use as they please, but they only have enough data for a few countries only, and the data isn't as complete. Ie no stopped limits, at least not in Germany.
[G1 Android Development] endolith:
Do you have any evidence for this? It doesn't make logical sense. They still provide navigation for places that don't have Google Street View.
[G1 Android Development] kokesh:
Maybe better solution than asking for BM 5 again and again and again..

This makes perfect sense to me. If Tele Atlas, who provides map data to Google sells maps of for example Sweden to for example Tom Tom, they do not want to get them out of the game by allowing Google to use their own maps for free navigation.

I believe, that Brut doesn't seem to be "anywhere near to do this", so we shouldn't ask him for BM 5.0 (or 5.1) every day, it would be better to find somebody, who can take out the navigation block for us. Other Brut's features seems to be implemented in newer Maps by default (caching, vector maps, etc). So -- anybody knows how to use APK Tool, or something like that to remove "Navigation not available for your country" check? I would do it, but I am quite lame when it comes to this :)
[G1 Android Development] endolith:
Maybe, but it's just speculation unless you have something to back it up. If I were Tele Atlas, I'd sell my maps to Google, TomTom, and anyone else who wanted them. If you wanted to prevent me from selling to your competitors, you'd have to give me enough money to compensate for the money I lost by not selling to all of them.

And the part about making their own maps with Street View cars does not make sense, since they provide navigation for places they have not mapped themselves. Any evidence for this?
[G1 Android Development] stingerpl:
It's common knowledge. Google it.
[G1 Android Development] tanguita:
I very much agree with this. Does anybody have any idea how to remove the "navigation not available" thing?
[G1 Android Development] endolith:
That doesn't mean it's true.
[G1 Android Development] desean:
did anyone even read the faq on the first post on how brut.all made google navigation "work" on our phones?
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
They only allow step by step navigation in countries that were not mapped. But Germany was captured years ago, but they only started street view a few months ago.

A turn by turn licence will be very expensive. Look at the price for maps for navigon or Tom Tom. Nokia can only afford to offer it for free because they bought one of the map providers. I don't think google wants to pay 30 euro or so per download.
[G1 Android Development] creage:
Market says there is a new version of GM - 5.1.0. Would it have forced vectors, Brut?
[G1 Android Development] kokesh:
I remember, that when Nokia bought that provider, they have immediately destroyed Nav4all, free turn by turn navigation for mobiles, which have been using those maps :)
[G1 Android Development] stingerpl:
Yes. Except, that it is true :)
[G1 Android Development] endolith:
"Installation unsuccessful" :mad:

Says a bunch of people on a forum
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
So your explanation is? Google is the evil empire and hates people outside USA and Europe (at least some places)? That they enjoy being mean? Come on, we're not talking about Apple here. ;)

It's common sense, really.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/90491-htc-going-kill-free-turn-turn-directions-4.html The first post on that page.

"Now, on to Google. As I mentioned above, they used to use Navteq (and occasionally TeleAtlas) on Google Maps. However, when they added GPS connectivity for free on Google Earth, and started developing navigation for Android, they were forced to drop their license with Navteq or we would be paying about $60 extra per device for the Navteq data. So, they went back to the free source data, the US Census Tiger database. However, at the same time, they started the StreetView project, and started accepting customer corrections."

Now, this is only for the US, either Google would have to pay for the whole world up front or at least when a user goes to another country and uses turn by turn navigation there. Can you imagine the cost of that?! If you want to buy a map of North America on Navigon, you'll have to pay 130 Euro. Just for the maps! Europe is 70 Euro. Google can't simply ignore licenses.

I wonder how Nav4all could get a license for NAVTEQ maps in the first place... but anyway, Google is just too big of a competitor to their main customers to let them have the maps for free or at least almost free.

However I do not understand why Google doesn't i.e. use free data for some of the missing countries, for example the best data you can get for Malaysia is open source (it's still not very good, but hey, at least something, and the Google Maps users could contribute to improve those maps too...).
[G1 Android Development] stingerpl:
Provide a better explanation and back it up.

Without it you're just one guy on a forum :)
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
@endolith

You're right, we don't have any proofs. But we know that:

Technically Google can run worldwide navigation at any moment. We know that because we was able to enable it through hacking in December 2009, but then Google has improved security. It wasn't Google Directions hack - it was fully functional navigation.

We know for sure there are restrictions of maps data usage:

http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_maps.html

Also some time ago I was talking with Google Engineer about GMM navi. He wasn't specific, but he told me it isn't that easy to open navigation in new country, it takes time. I don't think he was talking about technical issues.

I'm pretty sure it's about licensing.

"继续感谢brut.all的卓越贡献，没有他的工作就没有谷歌地图全球导航版的今天"

in English

"once again express our gratitude to brut.all for his contribution to the community, without his work we won't have google maps world navigation that we are using today."

tribute to brut
[G1 Android Development] zbraniecki:
well, I have a huge respect to brut for his work. I'm looking forward to the next version of his maps, and I'll sure as hell switch to them, but for now, I believe it would be a disservice to the community to ignore the fact that someone hacked Google Maps 5.1 to enable all of us to use navigation.

So here are the links:

- http://www.miui.com/thread-32925-1-1.html

- http://bbs.gfan.com/attachmentList.php?action=search

search for maps5.1.0-ownhere

I was unable to install the upgradeable version, but the file that did the trick (after uninstalling the original maps) was maps5.1.0-ownhereV2-resign_TigerSW.cn_370.apk

I can confirm that on my Nexus One (CyanogenMod 7) I was able to get turn-by-turn navigation to work on maps 5.1 in Poland thanks to this app :)

[G1 Android Development] rkantos:
Has anyone got Latitude working? It's just asking me to login, and when I do login It says: "You already have an account on this phone".. Navigation works here in Finland with it though.

Update: got latitude working, just needed to pull down notification bar and accept the data sharing for the chinese and the maps app. :eek::D

The roadname/swedish bug still persists.

edit: Another thing... It displays all the street names in the second official language of Finland, which is Swedish...

[G1 Android Development] J0s3f:
I'd love to get a version of the newest maps with only the force-vector patch.

I have navigation available and the same login problem with latitude with the cracked one.

The version of maps 5 patched by brut works fine. Any chance of a updated version of this?

Vector maps run fine on my hero and are just awesome compared to the pixel maps

[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Yeah, Google for it, the solution is on the internets.

While I also think a new thread would be better, I also thought that it was very nice of you all to mention the new version in this thread too. Otherwise I would have missed it. Works great btw., almost as good as the original version, and now I can also understand what the voice is saying (with Brut it was some mixture of German words with an English voice, + some Malay. Now it is in German. Good (wouldn't mind English too, but mixing both...)). And didn't Brut once write that he atm doesn't have time to really hack 5.0/5.1?

Just wait for brut 5.1. I think the link is already with 5.1 worldwide navigation. It is Working well in Malaysia.

Guys, how do you guys see 3d building? Any location that I can see it? And can someone hack the map like desire hd, when you turn your phone, the whole map turn.
[G1 Android Development] angusc:
I installed the Tiger version and notice that it creates the folder "brut.googlemaps" but when i copied my ZIP file of maps to this folder on my SD card i can not see them in the map application. anyone give me come tips....i followed Brut's instructions on the fist post of this thread using Mobile Atlas Creator and then Zipped the map files in to a single file.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
I'd guess the hacked 5.1 is just mixing Bruts modifications with 5.1... that's why there is this folder.

Does anyone have a option menu with the hacked 5.1? According to another forum that's where you should find options such as caching, but you will only see that in Froyo. But I do have Froyo...

Oh, and totally off topic, but... anyone got a clue why Google Maps just won't take the Johor-Singapore Causeway? Any other navigation software will happily use it...
[G1 Android Development] melvinchng:
Try download rmaps instead of using altas in brut.
