Google Maps 4.3 Fix for Droid Froyo Users

[kristoff125]

Should be llike this:

For all other ROMs:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
busybox rm system/app/Maps.apk
cd system/bin
sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
cd ..
cd ..
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync
2. You can now attempt to install the Google Maps update.
3. If it fails the first time, just cancel the download and try again. If it fails again, reboot and try.
4. Done!

How the hell do you people figure this stuff out?

a lot of reading my friend!

I am also on bugless and had the same "read only" issue. User root explorer and go to system/app/Maps.apk. Go to permissions and check off every option for the read/write/execute. Go into terminal emulator and try the scripts again. Worked like a charm

Try with an uppercase Maps.apk.

Ok, thanks to both for that. I was able to continue. Dumb question, how do I exit from SU then after I do the sync command? I have a # on the next line when I hit enter. (Sorry, I don't do this stuff).

type exit.

thanks....when it comes to old people like me...never assume!

And, thanks everyone, it worked and installed fine. I'm using Woodyman's Atlantis Froyo ROM.

No problem. At least you got yours working.

Quick question for all of you that updated successfully, is there a new latitude widget?

OK, I've followed all of this exactly, and

sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

still fails no matter what

I get failure right there as well. Trying to figure out a workaround.

There is a Latitude widget, whether or not it's a new one, I don't know, as I really don't use Latitude. I successfully logged into it though.

I can't get it to work, I've done the terminal commands, I've removed it through Root Explorer, I've tweaked the packages.xml

installataion failed EVERY time.

Did you try clearing the market cache ? I removed according to terminal commands, rebooted then cleared market cache before I attempted to reinstall and mine worked .

Yup
tried that too

On my third or fourth reboot trying it. I just gave up and pushed the 4.2 apk back to system/app and set the permissions. That worked before when I removed the maps.apk before some of these other fixes had surfaced.

I've tried them all.

Finally got it to work when all the other stuff didn't. Go to the following link and download maps.apk from post # 7. It is the older 4.2 version. After installing it, go to droid's settings>applications>manage applications and uninstall it from there. The market download and installation with work then.

I got it working too.

I had to push 4.2 back to system/app and then repeat the terminal commands.

And it finally worked.
