Locale won't let me add location condition

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.

I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.

I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?

Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.

So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.

According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."

Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

Google Maps 3.2.1 now in the market...

I've notived I'm running 3.2.0 which has voice nav, is 3.2.1 basically this the same thing or does the .1 mean voice nav is disabled? A few of the comments in the market state it doesn't have vn but you know how the marketeers go..
Any one try the one from the market yet?

Yes the comments in the Market indicate the update include GPS Navigation however the installation is unsuccessful when trying to update.

Working for me...
I'm coming from CM4.25 on a G1
Had 3.2.0 installed and working fine for voice nav (using the only change to build.trout.prop: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys)
Voice nav works for me no issues on the upgrade to 3.2.1. No issues doing the upgrade through market - maybe just market general flakiness.
Did you guys install 3.2.0 or force the APK to the system directories?

I forced mine. Maybe thats the issue.

Mine came stock in dwangs 1.13 rom. Guess I'll give updating a whirl and see how it goes..

Remove all presence of the existing maps (e.g. like how you uninstall pre-3.2.0) then market should allow an ok install then... You can lookup in the forums how to do that.
Basically mount system as rw and removes any traces of Maps.apk or com.google.android.apps.maps.apk

Not working in Cyanogen 4.2.5
I'm running the CyanogenMod 4.2.5 on a myTouch and I keep the installation keeps ending up "unsuccessful". My error says "Installation Error - Package file was not signed correctly".

The market install worked for me, too; though I'm currently indoors and thus unable to get a GPS signal.
A few questions about Google Nav in general:
In the official Google video (http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/index.html#p=default), there seems to be a Street View option, particularly around turns (visible around 5:40). Yet, when using Nav (at least before the Market version), The best I could come up with is a zoomed-in satelite view. Has anyone been able to mimic what the video shows? I would imagine a layer for Street View, but I don't see one.
Also, when I first started using the app, the arrow would stay at the bottom the screen, and the map would rotate if the car turned (like an ordinary GPS). Now, the arrow moves around and the map stays stationary, pointed north. How does one fix this?

Can some upload the apk?

If you see the button with the blue arrow in it in the lower left corner of your screen, tap it. Mine does that when I scroll around on the map to look ahead or something.

Installed fine on Emother's AOSP. Nav working too.

i have a mt3g and the update works for me..
does anyone know how to get this widget??

Same here with a myTouch. Worked fine on a G1.

Can someone share the apk... I can't find it in the market...

Found it easily enough on the Market but the installation fails with the same message others have mentioned earlier

Breaks Google Talk for me when it's installed. Uninstalling the update fixes it.
Edit - Ugh. It's just so large that it pushed my adp1 into a low space situation. Apparently Google Talk won't start if your phone is too low on space.

i reinstalled cyans latest over my current build so that it could change back my prop file to say g1 instead of droid. Then went to the market and updated the maps program and it downloaded and installed just fine. Works just as good as before except this version is legit via the marketplace.

Has someone tested navigation outside the US? it works for me with the newest fix from the forum, but I'd like to know if it still works after updating?

works with dwangs 1.13
So I took the plunge and updated. First download failed to install, second download installed ok. Got a couple f/c,waits for the voicedialer (when opening maps and market) but they seem to have stopped. Nav is working cool.

I am running into issue getting this to install on my rooted G1. I get the good ol Package file was not signed correctly.
Tried to do the following:
adb shell
#mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
Failure
Any help would be great

[Q] Google Maps and Navigation

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask

Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time

you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!

I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.

[Q] Newly rooted 1.2 nook color - did I do it wrong?

So, bought a nook color yesterday. It came loaded with 1.2, and the first thing I did after registering is root. No custom ROM, but have superruser and official Android Market access. I can even install a few apps. However, there are a few that I expected to see (Kindle, Astro in particular) that dont show up via a specific search for them in the Market. Did I do something wrong? Did I somehow half-root this? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

There are issues with the market after rooting. One of the devs seems to have finally figured it out (apparently it's been quite a ***** to sort out), but he's validating it before publishing it.

Same problem
I have the same problem with the market place. Where will the fix be posted?

After manual rooting Calendar issues
After doing the manual root the one application that seems to be the trouble for me is Calendar. The Google Calendar does not allow to add an account calendar to use. I have tried several other applications with no luck either. One indicates there is a issue synch information.
Then the other minor issue is within the Market has been fun. While in the Market it will decide to either go back a screen, go to the main area of the Market or exit completely out of the Market. That created issue when I was in the middle of downloading an application.
Any suggestions? The Calendar is more important but it would be nice to get both issues resolved.

This worked great for me.

The Calendar issue was resolved with CalenGoo. It is able to synch and update information.
Market is getting better with the steps.
Let the fun begin.

this worked partly for me. shows all the apps now, but they still wont install. ha

[Q] Google Maps 6.0+ on CM 7.1 has weird glitches

Ever since Google Maps was updated to v6.0, I've noticed that certain things, such as highway shields, show up as blank squares. I've tried each subsequent version up to 6.2.0, but the same thing happens. I've tried clearing the app's cache and the dalvik cache, to no avail. I have screenshots, but can't link to them, as I'm still a noob here, so I've attached them to this post.
ubJSH.png is Google Maps 6.0.3, but all subsequent versions do the same thing.
MsZNV.png is Google Maps 5.12 after uninstalling Maps 6.0+ and installing the 5.12 apk.
All Google Maps v6.0+ work perfectly on the stock 2.1 HTC Hero, so it seems to be a problem specific to Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 (can't vouch for earlier CM versions). It must not happen on other phones, or we would be hearing more about it.
Any thoughts?

I've seen the same thing on my phone. It may have to do with the phone being under powered?

confirming the glitches
The same thing is happening to on my Hero. I get the white boxes that show up on the map. The text for street names also is all messed up. This seems to happen randomly but usually almost always occurs when scrolling/moving around on the map.
