Just install the latest version of google maps from the market, it includes navigation (and gives you the navigation icon you are looking for).
OK

Whats the difference if there is any with the pre-installed facebook app and the app on the Market?
As the facebook app on the Market says its not been installed, do we have the latest version?
From what I can tell, pre-installed apps don't know about updates. Like Google Maps for example. It's pre-installed on the N1, but I had to manually download the latest version. After installing from the Market, it now knows when there are updates. Just open your app and hit the menu button and see what version you are running. If it's older than the one in the Market, just grab the one from the Market and overwrite your pre-installed one.
thats the thing, the preinstalled version of facebook has no version number, or I just can't find it.
press menu and go into settings, there is no info about version no.
when you install an app from the Market when it came preinstalled on the phone, does it overwrite it (thus not doubling the space it takes on the phone)?
I've been wanting to update a few apps like Facebook and Voice but I'm running out of space and neither are that important to me yet.

it updates/overwrites, it doesn't duplicate the app. The update for Voice makes a big difference over the old one, so do it

The facebook app is a totally different matter though, no new features
Updated google maps via the market, now google navigation is no longer installed. How can I get this back?
I believe the latest Google Maps (just updated myself as well) have navigation built-in so no need for a separate app.

I got it back. The 'Navigation' shortcut doesn't show in the app drawer until you launch navigation via the blue triangle from within maps. Now the 'navigation' shortcut is back in the app drawer.

Thanks for that! I was having the same trouble and I was able to get the nav working from maps, but I never checked the app drawer again. It's there!
I installed triple boot on

on my friend's nook color. I cannot update the map to the latest version (the one on june 27th with offline maps). It is on version 5.9. Any idea?

Go to Google Play, check All Apps, there should be Google Maps there, and open it, update.

I did. It does not go through. It gives me an error like this: The signed application is not correct. Also, it just happens to the google map update, not anything else.
Try uninstalling maps then re-installing.

How can you uninstall "maps". I went to setting and apps, and it just says disable. There is not "uninstall".

That means it thinks it is a system app, rather than an installed app. It is installed to /system/apps. I think on Mirage, that mr666 puts them there. Use a root file manager and go into /system/apps, and rename to .bak on the end. Then reboot. It should be gone from your system. You are then free to install from the market if it will allow you to.

Hey!
I'm new at this, and I just got my LGO2X today. The question I have is this:
Can I, without problems, remove following apps:
- Facebook, Twitter and MySpace for LG?
- Preinstalled apps?
- Car Home?
- RemoteCall?
- SIM Toolkit?
Yeah... but i would recommend just freezing them.
And freezing them means what? And how do I do that?

you may want to check the other threads ... its all there. The app you search is the SNS.apk
Is it possible to freeze or disable so that the icon for alarm/clock and call log disappears but can be used?
I think it's stupid to have those icons that can be launch via the app "Clock" and "Phone" instead.

If you use LauncherPro then you can go to Preferences > General Settings > Hidden Apps
By that you still have the app's installed but they won't take up space in the drawer.

I can't seem to install adwlauncher... it doesn't seem to be findable in the market and when I use a direct link to it, it pulls of up in the market, but when I try and install it, it says that it isn't for my device.

Anderwebs(the primary developer of ADW) has yet to release an updated ADW for tablets. He is working on one, but has not put any information forward as to a date for release.

if you have another android device, download it from the market.
using root explorer, go into the /data/app folder and find the ADW EX app... long press and click share... you should now be able to gmail it or dropbox it....
I use it on the xoom, I like it much better than launcher pro but it force closes a lot.
Yeah I side loaded it from dropbox it seems to run ok but if you use the 4D app drawer is lags at times
Anyone figure out how to get the wallpapers to align correctly or noticing that they arent aligned correctly versus stock launcher?

x2. i'm running adw launcher ex on the xoom and the app drawer some times freezes and doesn't load at all. for now, i'll be sticking with stock honeycomb or launcher pro (choose the keep-in-memory option to prevent force closures)
Yeah I LOVE adw launcher ex but the app drawer in 4D lags like it is cool other than that it works great. Hope the dev fixes
I have rooted and installed Null, with Nova launcher however i much prefer the touchwiz interface because the watch face i like is full screen.
Anyway, I have google voice search installed and would like to add the app to the favourites list. Is this possible as it doesnt show on on the gear manager on my s3
Thanks

i don't know which watch face are you using, i never had problem with watch faces being full screen.. but if you really like touchwiz (yuck!) best you could probably do is to remake it all using desktop visualizer plugin. that's like 15 minutes top i think.

Its just that there is a small border going all around the clock face, it doesnt go right to the edges.
Im not really clued up on coding or designing, so unless there is a setting to make this happen I'd be pretty clueless
I notice all apps that installed with null show on my gear manager and can be set as a favourite. Anyway I can do this for apps installed myself, like the google search app?

I think they need to be system apps and you need to wipe/reconnect gear before they turn up in gm

Sorry I don't understand... If I wipe my gear that will remove the google search app? How can I then add it as a favourite?

System apps stay on device and don't get wiped (I think you can use something like titanium backup to convert app to a system app or move the apk to /system/app). Then once you wipe your device and reconnect to gear manager, gear manager will add it to list of installed apps. Just click the plus sign to add to favourites

Thanks, I don't feel confident enough to start messing with system apps just yet.
Funny enough, When I installed google search it installed two widgets, google now and google search bar. They appear in gear manager and can be added to the favourites screen. How's this possible.

Right, plucked up the courage to try this and it worked - google remained installed.
Problem is, it is the widgets that show up in the gear manager, not the app. Any ideas?
If anyone has a solution to this problem please please help me.
It's the one thing I want to make this device perfect for my needs. I just cant seem to get the google voice search icon on my favourites.
I've moved the google search app to a ssytem app and it just gives the options in gear manager for the widgets not the app icons.

Seems to be an issue with 1.6 or ml1. Both are leaks, so either wait for official or go back in version
