nice back cover for samsung galaxy Z like some metallic finishing

i tried to enable google navigation through the guide in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 as per page 1 but after downloading the apk on my phone i tried opening it and it says 'there is no application to open this file'... anybody who tried this did this successfully or anybody know a solution to this? i can open every other apk except this one.

help please!

Yes Samsung, new phones. CAN I HAZ 2.3.4 NAO?

@rachy: NO, that's not an installable APK, it's for you to put into the data/apps folder with RootExplorer in read mode.


Here's a list of built in stuff on the SGS2:

There's details of what each of them does, make your own decision wanna freeze/uninstall or not.

Any one managed to install the google navigation as stated in the guide on page one?

until now i try tak dapat. nearly gave up d!

I'm not too sure about the stock/availability...but i just got mine today at Maxis Sunway. Left my name wit a cute chinese girl 2 days ago and she did called me to pick it up today. Those who wanted to buy it maybe can check but no guarantees

I find that the malaysia version of the sgs 2 does not include a chinese input function by default. Also no chinese handwriting recognation.

Think must search for it.any ideas?

You have to download to pc and transfer to phone. cant directly download.

I managed to run the installer but installation failed. big swt man! try 5 time jor.

U r in Aus right ? Get Sygic Aura , was told the map is quite complete for Aussie . It's a different case for Msia

oh NO WONDER!! ok let me try and see if theres any success!! thanks!

Papago is always the best but the price also pricey. about 100 ringgit for it...oh my...

Do tell me if that works...i am interested to know too!

great list there, should pin up at page 1 too~!

Ok, for those of you who have trouble installing the Google Maps (for Navigation), i had issues too, but managed to do it through the following:

1. First, make sure your phone is rooted, then download the Google Maps-ownhere.apk (NOT the re-sign one), and transfer to your external SD card.
2. Using Titanium backup on your phone, wipe data and then uninstall both Google Maps and Street View.
3. Then using root explorer on your phone (i used Super Manager, which also has root functions), transfer the Google Maps-ownhere.apk file to your phone's system/app folder (make sure its set to R/W).
4. Then just reset the phone, and voila! Navigation is available!

There is probably an easier/shorter way, but this works for me. Hope it helps

if u have flashed the CF-Root kernel u will have the CWM but have yellow triangle
Flashed back stock kernel u will loose the CWM option

I too choose the 2 option too

Trying now. thank u for your guide. anything i pm u for help and advise ya!

For me these r the steps

1. Root the phone
2. Install systemapp remover app
3. remove the maps.apk from system
4. install the hacked gmap

its like computer..idling the speed of processor will go down, hence save a lot of battery life..

Went to Samsung in The Gardens justnow, the guy (look a bit lansi) told me he still got few units, but I intend to buy in July and today is only 30th June, so I didn't buy, hehe. Here's the exchange:

Me: Any free gifts?
He: 1 year extra warranty, so it is 2 years, only here got
Me: Other than that?
He: ... Full set, everything in the box.
Me:.........ok..thank you

How do we set the phone to r/w?

please advise

Looks like my prediction is partially right...

When Samsung runs out of Super Amoled Screen Plus, they will release a revised Galaxy S2 (give it a different name) with a lower end screen (LCD), lower 720p 5Mp camera and sell it cheaper....but at least got Tegra chip but only1Ghz?

Same for SGS, when they ran out of Super Amoled Screen, they came out with Galaxy SL with LCD screen, 4GB Ram and sell cheaper to meet the demands...

I know some of you guys are hunting high and low for this SGS2...quickly get them.....just in case in the future batches they come with LCD screen!!!

Those with Super Amoled Screen Plus now, hold on to your SGS2 tight tight...

Anyway, this is just my 2 cents worth...
