Hi Benny,

What would I be missing if I just use the S2 as it is? As an "oldie" on the wrong side of 50 I prefer not to get muddled in the complexity of ROM/baseband/kernel. But everybody here seems to be flashing left and right so I just wonder if the original Samsung ROM s good enough to use. What's the main advantage of changing the original ROM?

Hi guys, I've already pushed the google map with nav into system/app and mounted as r/w but I still can't install..any ideas?

Using root explorer

Copy and paste. then restart ur phone..

ive downloaded the stock firmware XWKF1 from samfirmware.com but it doesnt contain any .PIT file. will it affect anything if i dont have it while reflash to stock ROM?

and if i flash it with all 3 files together 1 time which is as listed below,


i have to check the re-partition box right? will this process affects my data and apps? I have done back up but just to clarify things up before doing anything.

its the most powerful smartphone so why would it have anything wrong with the original rom?

unless you're using lower droid phones, you dont have to worry with SGS2. but using the stock 2.3.4 instead of Touchwiz would be the fastest. and the custom rom will have mods/tweaks as time goes. so you'll have more features than the original. but having a SGS2, you are not missing anything. those that dont have are missing the SGS2!

Already did..but failed when try to install

anyone using bluetooth keyboard with gs2?

Ready stock is available at Maxis Dealer BSC (Bangsar Shopping Center). Just got it from there.

How about just launch the app from the drawer and check the version.

Hmm.. Try this.

Uninstall both google map and street view.
Restart
Put google map the navi one in system app.
Restart again.

See if this works.

well u can try use map from here http://www.teamovercome.net/?page_id=558. install it using CWM. working for me

that's exactly what i did

will try and see.. Thanks!

edit: downloaded and renamed it as .apk but still couldn't install

Actually uncle already placed it on page one but is from xda topic.

Also, if you can install, install the one without resigned.. It works 100% well for me though.

ya, is cannot install wan, just restart phone and maps will be available and the navigation will be working

HI,

What kernel and modem version you all using in VillainRom 2.0?

restarted twice and still no sign of maps

I was from 1.4 i think. Just install 2.0 and updated the modem. Works fine. Kernal is 2.3.4

Just tested

*for those saying the link on VR is slow, below is my siggy (link).

did you move the maps apk that you downloaded to the system/apps?

WHat I mean is that the guide asked us to use ownhere resign right? THat doesnt work for me. I use ownhere and works perfectly. If you have try that out...hmm...got to think of another way.

*if you wondering about the link, you can check the link on my siggy*
