yuh i believe so.. its a good app you should use it honestly..its not a big file and u can access it from any computer..

I'm not going to lie, I didn't (and don't I guess) know what Google Voice is before using this for Navigation. If you say it's good, I guess I should go ahead and get my learn on then since I already have it installed. Thanks for the help.

For those of you successfully running this on CM 4.2.4, did you use the first lik or the AOSP link?

i have 4.2.4 with a theme and it works just fine with me!!! idk what happened with yours!!! i have dark dream theme with mine though!!

How did you install your theme? When i tried to install the navi patch it would abort on my theme. I was running the same theme as you are.

Hey guys,

After a longs day of work, I got it.

Put together a recovery flash-able zip file to add the new Google navigation.

REQS:

1. Dream or Sapphire/Magic/Mt3G
2. 1.6 Rom as a minimum
3. Custom recovery either Amon's or Cyanogen's
4. A brain
5. The download at the end of the post

STEPS:

1. Download this for most Donut builds, OR this if you are using an AOSP "mod" (currently in testing).
2. Place in the root of your sdcard
3. Reboot in recovery
3. Select chose update.zip (or rename the downloaded file to update.zip)
4. Select update_navigation.zip
5. Reboot

Extended steps:

If "Navigate" doesn't show up the first time:

1. Go to settings
2. Click on applications
3. Click on Manage applications
4. scroll to apps
5. click on Maps
6. Clear data

OR

Do this.

Install Google Voice
Uninstall Google Voice
Reinstall Google Voice

It should work at this point.

****MOST IMPORTANT PART****

!!THIS WILL WORK WITH HANDCENT!!

Thanks:

Cyanogen and Amon for their recovery images.
followinginsanity for his updates to build props
community for helping test and get it goooinnggggg!!

If you actually feel like donating to my trip fund go ahead and click here!!

THANKS!

AND ENJOY

(p.s not responsible if you drive over a bridge following the GPS, that's stupidity)
(p.p.s don't brick your shaz and blame me or anyone else for that matter, you blew it)

Works great with cyanogen update. You've done a good job. Can anyone tell me how to add this to one of the better sense builds? I was working with supermagic and this update doesn't like it.

Great work on this! It worked right away. I ran steps, downloaded Google Voice uninstalled it and installed it again and it worked.

giovannirm · Nov 13, 2009

Great works!I have installed it and working properly but only with USA locations. Why? in Europe the service is not active?

sadico · Nov 13, 2009

Google owns their own maps for the United States. If you look at maps of New York and London at Maps.google.com, notice that the map of NY shows 2009 Google at the bottom, and the map of London says 2009 Tele Atlas. This means that Google is free to give away maps/navigation in the US, but Google would need to pay royalities to do the same in Europe.

reuthermonkey · Nov 13, 2009

sooo is this still working after 8 hours?

Therefore, if the service will be extended in Europe will not be free?
This is bad news

I'll just give you the line to modify in your build.trout.prop

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

If you have a windows PC with the android drivers installed you can unzip this file and run the .bat

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30494/Nav fix.zip

Or you can take the prop files out, put them on the root of your sd and use the terminal.

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.sapphire.prop /system
reboot

Or you could wait for the guy who made the update.zip to release a new version.

Any way you do it, after the change you can run the procedure that was in my earlier post to get Market to recognize the prop changes.

@clide8

After unsuccesfully doing the Market Cache, Time change steps.. would like to give this a try. So, this is what I want to do...

1) Push Update.zip

2) Make sure navigation is working after doing all steps in post 1

3) Run the batch file

4) Do the Market cache removal and time change steps

Can you please confirm these steps?

One thing though, the update.zip is changing the stock build.prop file. And your batch file isn't doing anything with that "updated" file. Don't worry about that??

Thanks bud... however, like I said above, the stock build.prop file is altered by the update.zip. Wondering if I need to push back the stock too

Yep, looks right to me.

As far as the build.prop goes, nothing needs to be changed in that file from the stock build.prop. I never even touched the thing on my phone. I'm not sure what changes this update.zip is making, but if you want to go back to stock everything should keep working just fine.

jgiard6 · Nov 13, 2009

Questions:

1. Will following the steps listed on the first page alter my model # to read "Droid" or will it stay "T-Mobile G1"?

2. Will navigation most likely still work after Cyan uploads his next ROM build (most likely tonight)? I understand if this question is unanswerable.

Is this going to last more than a day?
