    [RELEASE] Pinch Zoom and Night Mode for Google Maps

    Tested under Bugless Beast .72
    Works on 2.0.1 and 2.1

    Bugs:
    Seems to break Layar, possibly other apps that use Google Maps API.
    __________________________
    Instructions:

    If you do not have Google maps included with your ROM as a System app, you will need to uninstall it before following this tutorial. Also if you are having the force close problem, try renaming /system/app/Maps.odex to /system/app/Maps.odex.bak. Also, you can ignore the moving of the old google maps apk in /system/app.

    Get one of these:

    Multitouch maps with + and - buttons:
    Download
    Alldroid mirror: http://www.alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=1503

    Multitouch maps without buttons:
    Download
    Alldroid mirror: http://www.alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=1504

    Then extract one of the zips and copy the system folder in there into a folder on your sdcard (I called it mtmaps)

    Next, execute these commands (adjust for your folder name as needed):
    Code:
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
    mv /system/app/Maps.apk /system/app/Maps.bak
    mv /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.bak
    cat /sdcard/mtmaps/system/app/Maps.apk > /system/app/Maps.apk
    cat /sdcard/mtmaps/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar > /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
    mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
    sync
    reboot
    Sorry if I made any mistakes on the code but just follow the same general idea if you have any issues: back up the old files, push the new ones. I used cat because I didn't have the cp command for whatever reason. I am currently running the multi-touch without buttons. Good luck!

    Not working for me. I keep getting:

    failed on /system/app/Maps.apk --no such file or directory

    Can anybody help? I'm running bugless beast 0.7.3.

    Thanks

    I tried that and got the same error. I'll try adb shell later on and repost.
