No, it is a separate app.

It is actually the same google map and google navigation. But with Brut mod.

So once installed there are 2 navigation apps, and 2 map apps and 2 more brut apps available.

You can use either the original google map or brut, but brut will give you more options in some sense.

It's like you have a house and 1 side you install a garage, and another side you install a garage with automatic doors.
So now you have 2 garage, up to you where you wanna park.

brut map is another variant of google map, with voice navigation. It's just an app, like the original stock map app.

Gg. I did that yesterday, and I reboot and my phone won't go past the Galaxy S load screen, and the screen just turns black.

I reflashed.

There is a way outta it, but just reflash. I did that and it gave me less headaches.

I do have some issues with force closes now :s
Although minor issue, such as titanium backup sometimes FC on me.
But otherwise it's much smoother, especially when widgets are loading.

Yes, I hurled expletives at myself, but at least now it's running smoother, else I'd be doing some late night headbanging.

Anyway I've jsut downloaded the necessary files to reflash my phone.

Want to ask, what are the chances that I could accidently brick it, and is it recoverable?

Am just taking the precautionary steps.

Any other programs that I could use to backup the contacts, messages and apps in the phone?

THanks.

I just upgraded the firmware to JG4 using Kies.......
And all my messages are gone, have to re-install applications, home screen gone, setting gone.....Damn It, i didn't know that it'll be reseted to factory default.....$#%$#%#$^#$

Is there any backup application like Titanium, but can run without root?
I don't want to repeat the "format" process again, when my SGS get 2.2 Froyo update...........

Before you flash, you root, use titanium to backup.
After flash, root again, then restore your system setting.

Actually no harm to root.

Chance to brick - High if you mess up
Chance to regain control - High, just go to download mode and reflash

Chance of eventual success on upgrade - High, just keep trying and note down mis-steps.

Yes use that.
Confirmed working on non-rooted.

Just to re-iterate, you only need to root your phone IF you want to un-install the ORIGINAL 'Maps' app.

I added some text modifiers to ensure emphasis this time around.

The non-asian firmwares do not have any option for chinese input, meaning you can't enter/type chinese text. I read somewhere that you can work around this by downloading and installing other keyboard or input applications that support chinese input.
