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 deleted Google Talk & need to get it back for Market to work. Should I re-nooter or can I reinstall it? What can I expect if I re-auto-nooter. Will my currently installed apk's be deleted? If it's easy to reinstall Google Talk, what are the steps?
Thanks,

has anyone been able to get the Xoom version of Google Books to work on the NC? i can't get the apk to install and putting it in my /system/app dir with proper permissions doesn't work either (doesn't show up in my apps list). any tips? thanks...
i wanna install an older version of google maps, how do i go about doing this exactly? i have the apk on my phone, and i know it's a "system" app, and i have root explorer. but i tried overriding the existing maps app, and make the permissions match all the other apps, but after the reboot, the app is still the updated new maps app.
someone in irc was mentioning something about the libraries messing up? can anyone provide details on how to properly do this?
here is the app in question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43492351&postcount=2
anyone have any insight?
Here is what is most likely your problem. Although you replaced the version that was in system app, if the app ever updated, the updated version is in the data/app directory overriding the system app. You need to look in data/app after overriding the existing maps app and delete it. You should be good after a reboot then. Just don't let it update again.
Right, thats what i did. I got the older maps to appear, but all sorts of buggy stuff started happening, and thats when the whole "libraries" thing got brought up. Meaning the libraries dont match or something. So is there a safe way to do this without having my phone freak out?
Did you try clearing data for the app in the app manager after switching?

Easy i hate stupid new google maps i have google maps world modded =)
1. uninstalling old / new google maps
2. delete all remaining maps files
3. install Google Maps (v6.14.3) (mod + world navigation)
To clarify, how would i specifically perform step 1 and step 2? Whats the procedure you suggest to uninstall the app, since its a system app?
Also, in step 2, where are all the remaining google maps files located?
This version of maps sucks to be honest. I like the play store one way better.
Use some kind of file explorer and on root side go into system and search for maps then start deleting. Reboot phone and install new ones

I have been using the GMaps.saveMD_v6.14.4.rar, this was the last one before it got updated... its in my section for the Note 3.... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=11992 this was uploaded on March 2014... it is the last version, with navigation with google maps..
this is the direct link.. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580435 its in RAR format...
1... just unzip the file...
2... use root explorer or any explorer that will let u navigate to system\app and delete googlemaps.. or gmaps.apk and copy my version, give it permission.and uninstall any updates u might have done... whenever I update my apps, I don't update googlemaps, if u accidently do, just uninstall and it will revert back to the original file..
3.. or just copy the apk file to your rom of choice, like I do, I copy it to my personal rom in the system\app, so when I install it, its there and no issues...
I am now using Dropbox backup function on my HTC One. Previously I was using google. But where can I find these backup files on my Google drive account? I want to delete them.
