[GUIDE] How to get Google Map 5.7 (nav) to work

If you are getting "Application not installed" when installing Google map 5.7, here's what you need to do:

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.
2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall
4. Download map5.7ownhere-signed.apk from here: http://www.filesonic.com/file/1389928264/m...wnhere-sign.apk
5. Copy the file to /system/app using root explorer (or any "root" explorer)
6. Mount system as R/W
7. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-signed.apk
5. If you wish to reinstall streetview, download it from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/street-view (doesn't work in Msia, as you should know)

One "bug" I noticed google nav has is that it automatically sets the system volume to MAX, but it wouldn't turn it back down to default volume when it quits

speaking of weather widget... i just dun get it. nice to have for first few days... but after that, who really cares? i can just look out the window...

Why not ? I pay for all my apps . I never use those blackmarket apps. Android apps are not expensive. It is an egg and chicken situation. If developers are not supported, do you think they will still continue to improve their apps ? After all, the apps are not expensive ranging RM 3 to 10 mostly. I used to be involve in programs development for several years with my IT staffs and I do understand the amount of work/effort  , pain and headache they go through especially when comes to debugging. Using apps without paying is just plain simple stealing intellectual property. Those practicing it is just as guilty as a petty thief.

I know of many users who are so proud loudly proclaiming they don't pay for apps when they can get it free. They think they are very smart , which infact they are not. One day, probably their children could be involve in programs/software development and they will feel the pain when their children cannot cari makan as all their efforts are just being pirated and stolen away
