new google street view

[mojo_droid]

For some reason I am not able to install the new google street view from the market. I had a previous version on my phone, so when I got my first unsuccessful install, I uninstalled street view with TI. but even after i uninstalled it I still get an error trying to install the new version from the market. anyone else get this issue or know how to solve it?


ps. I already tried clearing the data for google maps, didnt help


EDIT SOLVED: ok I got mine to work, I just did a reboot (after I unistalled the version that was on my phone with Titanium backup) and it installed fined

I can't install it either. I don't have titanium installed, never have. What can I do to get street view working?

[myk.robinson]

Nevermind. Apparently it is actually built into the updated Maps anyway

You will probably find your answer in this thread ---> Google Maps Update

It's not, it works along side of the maps.apk but in the Market it is a different application "street view"

go to /system/app and rename street.apk to .bak

reboot and retry the install of street view from the market.

How? I dont have root explorer, but am not afraid of command line.

I did:

cd /system/app
mv Street.apk Street.bak
failed on 'Street.apk' - Read-only file system

sudo mv Street.apk Street.bak
sudo: permission denied

I deleted street.apk, rebooted (actually had to reboot twice, lost my data connection for some reason) and then was able to install from market. Works fine!

You need to mount rw before making changes.

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system ( I believe this is correct)

Don't forget to go back to read only (ro) after your done.

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

In Sapphire we have scripts to handle the read/write and read only remounts.
