I wiped my SD card and reinstated ext/swap/fat32 and for some reason the Titanium apps backup didn't restore Google Maps, I have Brut rev5 all working nicely but the Official Maps cannot be installed from Market as market believes it's already installed when it isn't visible in Launcher and when I view the Market page the uninstall/open/install buttons are greyed out.
When visiting the Google Maps for Android mobile site through browser and clicking "Already have Maps installed? Launch it now~" Maps loads so it seems it is semi installed but not uninstalled either.
I just need to manually reinstall the maps apk using ASTRO to force it back into the Launcher and Market!
Thanks
*Edit**
Solved....
adb remount
adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -delete
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
>>> Reinstall Maps 4 from Market.
Delete it from your backup, wipe the card again and re-install the backup, Maps should show up in Market ?

I installed facebook from the market and now it won't uninstall. I am using Cyanogen 4.2.5 and the Nabzihero 2.8 theme on a MT3G.
So, a little back story. I installed the theme a week ago. I noticed the the sterricson lock screen conflicted with SMS popup, so I decided to change back to the stock theme. I went and reflashed the rom and when I did android said that Facebook wasn't installed, but he market says it is.
I rolled back to my latest nandroid backup and the app works again, but it won't let me uninstall it. Neither through the market or the application screen in settings. I'm at a loss as to how to get the app off my phone. I'm sure there's a way through the terminal, but I don't know how.
ok, so first, sometimes the market and android conflict - now depending on your nandroid, did the rom have facebook app included? if so, this will be why you cant update/remove and why market says its there -
some roms have it included thus it is located in /system/app which will not allow you to delete it through the app manager.
plug your phone into your computer and do the following from terminal/command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
then, reboot and you will be able to install facebook from the market

This helps out a lot. It turns out that the theme I had installed did have facebook in it. That's fixed it, though. Thanks a bunch!
Can't install new google maps update "Package file was not signed correctly"/w CM 32a
OK, So I am trying to update to the new google maps app and I keep getting "Package file was not signed correctly" I read somewhere that I have to remove the maps file using adb, but I can't get adb to work for the life of me. I have followed multiple tutorials, I can't get the usb drivers to install on my phone.
does anyone know another way around this?

I followed the uninstall directions on the first post in this thread and could then install Maps directly from the market.

I can confirm that this is a working solution if you are getting the "Package file was not signed correctly" error while trying to update.
Thanks again SickOfItAll, and thanks to canadiancow for the original writeup.

Works great! I can also confirm that this works for the "Package file was not signed correctly" issue. Kudos, SickOfItAll!

Confirmed again. Just installed AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.4_DRD20_rooted_base_v2 + AOSP_1.6_DRD20_ExpPack_v2.3.3 and got the 'not signed correctly error'. Tried installing an update.zip package I found here (that others had confirmed working) that included a Maps.apk that gave me the same error. Then I tried simply deleting Maps.apk and GoogleMaps.apk from /system/apps (along with anything referencing Google maps in /data/dalvik-cache) and re-installing from the market, but it gave me an 'incompatible update' error and still seemed to think I still had Google maps installed. Once I found the "adb uninstall com.google.android.maps" command, installing through the market was no problem.
I'm running:
Mytouch 3g US (32B)
AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.4_DRD20_rooted_base_v2
AOSP_1.6_DRD20_ExpPack_v2.3.3
This is the code I needed:
From adb:
adb remount
adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -delete
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
-or-
From shell:
mount -o remount,rw /system
find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -delete
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

Hi, I just upgraded to cyanogen 4.2.8 today, and I am having a problem with my paid app "Hello IM". This was never a problem before, but today, once 4.2.8 booted up, I noticed Hello IM disappeared from my app list. When I go to the market to try to download it again, it shows up as "Installed" and both the "Open" and "Uninstall" buttons are greyed out. I am unable to reinstall this app, and I cannot remove it.
What can I do at this point, short of wiping the entire ext4 partition on my card? The system still thinks my app is installed, when it isn't. Is there some way for me to remove it now so I can reinstall via market?
FIXED: I found a post on google about Open and Uninstalled greyed out. Using these commands in terminal with root access seems to have fixed the problem:
rm -r data/data/com.android.vending/cache
and
rm -r data/data/com.android.vending/databases/*
after typing those and rebooting, my "Hello IM" app no longer shows up as "Installed" in market, but as "Purchased". I am able to reinstall it now. Hope this helps someone else.
I'm having problems with Swype and updating to CM6.3.4
I moved com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk to /system/app to free space in /data
Now I want to update from CM6.3.3 to 6.3.4 but doing so removes Swype and after reinstalling all my settings and custom words are lost
Moving the .apk back to /data/app gives me instant FCs on booting and everytime I try to access Swype in any way
I tried to backup Swype using AppMonster - but it's not visible in the list
Does anyone know another way to solve this
Use titaniumBackup, It works.
guys, i am using super ics in my i9023. but Cant install Google Map 6.0 in ICS. i have wiped data and uninstalled maps with titanium backup and then tried to install maps 6.0 but it says install failed. tried many times but same result. any idea what happened? cheers
This is the latest gapps.zip (I think) with latest maps and music, but doesn't have wallet.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47770734/gapps.zip
I use koush's gapps @ http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip (includes google wallet)
1. Use Titanium backup and convert google maps to a user app (long press maps)
2. market doctor -> deselect all -> find google maps -> doctor that
3. uninstall google maps
4. download google maps
.... and it'll work.
Can't find market doctor on the market
When I try to update I just get an error
Edit I see its an option in titanium but I'm scared to delete because I'm thinking that error will pop back up has anyone done this with success
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

same here, exact issue
no good maps/gps and can't uninstall and reinstall(DL) from market
maybe a cache issue?
Use the following commands with adb installed...
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Maps.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
reboot
The issue, I think, lies with ICS
No other roms have this issue for me
I changed to pico from google tts--no issues

in most ROMs the lib files needed for google tts are missing. Just add them and google tts will work.
tried it--didn't work

Anyone ever figure this out? I tried this method, but Maps doesnt show up in Market Doctor when you run it.
UPDATE: nevmind. I think you need to select "Detach from Market" as well, for it to show up in Market Doctor.
ALSO, this doesnt work either. I followed the instructions and it just reverts to the factory 5.11 maps, and then gives error when you update.
I followed the steps and got Maps 6.0.
But I didn't liked it much, force closes like mad, reverted back to 5.0.1 now
