I installed the 6.14.4 on my non rooted N9005 without any problems.
Today I tried the same on a NEW and untouched non rooted S4, but install failed!

Any Idea?

i did compile Maps 6.14.4 with Galaxy S3 CM10.2 Framework Again
*installed on Note 3 N9005, again works...
so it must work on S3,S4,Note3...
If not, we must use s4 framework and test it again
Now test it and Feedback
if didn't work, i need that s4 Frameworks...
Use CM version from First post:

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 the other day. The phone isn't rooted yet and Google Maps Version 6.14.4 is working perfectly on it, and I was able to sign-in on my account as well. Thanks for getting this working, Mr Lizard. :good:

I just updated my Nexus S to CyanogenMod 10.2 using their install process. The phone works great but I was missing
maps. There were no google maps installed at all on with the new ROM. Like a lot of others, I hate the new maps
and was looking for the older app.

I've downloaded "6.14.1 With Blue ICON (NavigationMOD).zip " and saved it to my SD Card. However, I cannot
get it to install. I tried using the file manager but no go ...

When I click on the zip file, it tells me that this is not a valid chomp SMS theme. It seems chomp SMS app uses
zip files to package its themes.

When I rename the zip file to apk and try to install it tells me "Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"

I then tried installing WinZip app onto my Nexus S. This looked good. I changed my security setting to allow install from other
sources and tried again.

This time it unpacked the zip, showed the apk file. I start to install, accept permissions, it goes for a while then dies saying
"app failed to install" ....

What an I doing wrong ?

You could unzip it on a computer and transfer it or clear defaults and freeze chomp sms and see if you can unzip on your Nexus.

I tried installing WinZip which opened the file, found the apk and started the install.

I accepted the permissions and it started to install.

After about 10 seconds or so it just ends saying "app failed to install" etc.

:(

OK, you've exhausted my knowledge base but I'm sure the op will check back and help you out eventually.

@Tbalon
weird! ( if you wanted to use these maps ):
don't uninstall any other maps version.
extract Zip file
Rename *.apk to com.nimagl2.apps.gmaps.apk (if you downloaded 6.14.1)
or Rename *.apk to com.nimagl2.apps.mapsd.apk (if you downloaded 6.14.4)
Now Copy it to /data/app Folder, and reboot

LOVE IT

Hello. Brand new poster. I spent a day on this and signed up just to say how great it is. I want to THANK the OP for the work done on this. NAV6 was so good you just know they would screw it up eventually. Everything on my end works (and can sign in) except the voice search function within Navigator (speak destination). I'm so happy to have everything else back I could really care less, but does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Galaxy S4

    That's bad :-\

    Be sure you downloaded the 6.14.4?
    Don't use the 6.14.1

    Try again with a Sim Card (maybe Google need it)???

    Just a try:

    Delete cache and data from booth maps.
    Delete maps 6.
    Delete updates maps 7 and deactivate it.
    Install maps 6.14.4.

    Try out maps 6 and wait for the notification in status bar. They are 3 different notifications! Confirm all with yes.

    Maybe reboot it, if the notification is not showing

    If it works, activate maps 7 and update it again.
