Script To Enable Voice Navigation in Google Maps for Cyanogen ROM's

Google Maps Voice Navigation was much simpler to set up on a Cyanogen ROM then reading the thread made it seem, so I made a script that follows the same process I did, and though it should work, I have not tested it, so please let me know if it needs any fixes. It will back-up any necessary files to the sdcard, so there are no real worries in giving it a try.
1. Download Google Voice from the market
2. Unzip the file, and make sure the two files, build.trout.prop, and mapsnav.sh are on the root of the sdcard.
3. Open the terminal and enter
Code:
su
sh sdcard/mapsnav.sh
This will do its work then reboot the phone. When it is back up, you should be set.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Upon running the script, I got a few errors ("Google not found," "Cannot locate dalvik-cache on sd," etc.; the phone rebooted before I could get a look at all of them). After the reboot, I still had the same old Maps. I tried installing the APK provided in the zip, which seemed to be a successful install, but still, no navigate feature.

Are you using a Cyanogen ROM, with apps2sd?

Yupp, 4.2.3.1, or whatever the second-latest one is.

The problem is that your dalvik-cache and maps folders seem to be somewhere other than on my phone. If you first clear your dalvik cache, find the maps folder in /data/data/, and erase it, then run the script, it should work. I will figure this out and post when I get off of work.

I got the "no google found" error.
Also on boot up im missing gmaps all together.
edit: i also forgot to mention while the script was running scoreboard and mixzing forceclosed.. and on boot up advanced launcher foreclosed about 5 times.

This worked great! only problem is Google Voice doesn't work afterward. It force closed at first, then I reinstalled it, now it just will not download messages and will not call out.

I am having the exact same problem. This has happened to me before, and this fixed it at the time. But the solution does not apply here... anyone else with Google Voice problems?
--- fixed! ---
ok in debug mode I see these:
11-13 23:35:17.845: ERROR/GoogleVoice(2939): Unable to prepare post-Donut Contact API
11-13 23:35:17.845: ERROR/GoogleVoice(2939): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.provider.ContactsContract$Contacts
...
Click to expand...

I tried messing around with swapping out the contacts but gave up for now. I've replaced my build.prop and build.trout.prop files with the backed up ones and GV is working again. I've read that some people have seen the navigation menu disappear when they do this - it doesn't sound likely, but I'll be watching out for that for the next few days I guess.
So - go back to your prop files and GV and GM will both work, at least for now.

fixed! (I think)
hmm how do I delete a dupe post?

Can't install Handcent SMS

Recently, I started getting a "not enough storage available" error when trying to install Handcent either from the Market or using a Titanium restore. I know it's not a space issue because all other apps that I have tried install with no problem. I am using A2SD and have about 400 MB free. I have duplicated this error on multiple ROM's so it must be something on my phone. I searched and found something about permissions on *.so files in the lib directory but I don't know enough to fix it myself. Here is a pastebin of the error:
http://pastebin.com/33gKG5Db
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know this is a stupid question but ur not trying to install when card is mounted to computer r u. Also what app2sd r u using, is ur ext partition full, I've also noticed this when I thought I had room then went in and deleated a few old nandroids and then it worked great.

I had the same problem.
Go to Applications
Somewhere in there, there is a handcent registry that is different than the normal handcent program.
Scan through everything, you will find something like com.sms.handcent. Uninstall that as well as the program and you should be able to install.

I see it under applications but every time I click on it I get a f/c on settings (I get the f/c if I click on anything under applications that begins with com.). Any way to do it through ADB? I checked system/sd/app and didn't see the com.handcent.nextsms to remove?

yep... I have had this problem with a couple of apps. The real fun is sometimes that directory is named something completely different then the application name. Then you have to guess at what it is and then check /data/apps to verify it has a missing apk.

Market update unsuccessful?

I am unable to download/update new apps and existing apps via the market because i keep getting an error that says unsuccessful download. I flashed over the new 2.2.6 market into my phone and i still get the same problem. It turns out that only apps that are in the sdcard are affected, and moving them back into the phone will finally allow them to be updated with no problems.
I tried everything i could find on the internet, clearing cache/data and stuff like that, but they dont work. One method that does work is a factory reset but i dont wanna lose my stuff right now. Usually when i get this problem i'll just wait out a few hours and try again but i had this problem since last night and i also read about people who had them for over a month!
Is there any fix to this? Or is the market just broken? Running on CM6.1-N1

cmon 56 views and still no answer? I know many people have encountered this problem before. Is there any solution to this?

Probably because there's 56 threads on the same subject...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I am stuck on "App not Installed". I can't figure that out. I am on CM 6.1.0 on 2.2.1. I tried clearing cache, renaming file to update.zip and going into recovery to install from SD Card. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Try unmounting your SD card in settings...

Didnt work for me. :/

Alright think i fixed it. Just tried updating an app that is in SDcard and it updated fine.
Found the solution here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...all-around-failures/page__p__24608#entry24608
1. Open Terminal Emulator on the phone
2. Type su to activate SuperUser
3. Once the $ sign turns to # type in the above code
4. That should do it
And BTW - it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype
Hello Everybody,
this is my first post on this forum, i decided to start this thread cause i've been struggling with this problem for something like one month now, i really want to fix it, and this looks like the best place where to ask for help.
I'm having problems installing the Skype application on a Samsung Galaxy S, in Italy.
Initially i installed it from the market, the installation went fine, but i couldn't log in cause i was still running Android 2.1
After the upgrade to 2.2, Skype worked only the first time i tried to use it, then it started giving me a weird bug; basically each time i tried to make a call, it would say "already 2 ongoing calls".
I uninstalled it, and now each time i try to install it again i get the same error message "Installation error - insufficient storage available".
I have 5.22GB available on the internal SD card, and 573MB on the internal phone storage, and i have no external SD card.
I tried to contact the Skype support, sent them something like 10 different emails, but each time they came up with stupid answers and in the end they couldn't find a solution, so they said
"Please note that the message you are receiving is an operating system message and is not a Skype message.
We suggest that you contact Samsung to find out under which circumstances the operating system returns this message and what can be done to make an installation possible."
I tried to contact Samsung, but they didn't even reply.
I started a thread in the Android Market Help Forum and one guy suggested to use adb to delete the skype folder
So i rooted my device with z4root and also did the OneClickLagFix V2.2+
I managed to install the Android SDK and get the adb up and running, but when i try to delete the skype folder, this is what i get
# rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm failed for /data/com.skype.raider, No such file or directory
#
basically there is no such folder..
at this point i really don't know what to do, and i hope that someone here is able and willing to help me.
I think i gave all the possibly needed information to help you fixing my problem, but if you need more please just ask.
Thanks a lot and by the way big up to this forum, so many useful informations in here!
Cheers
Pedro

update
i installed Titanium Backup
if i go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll to the very botton, the last one is com.skype.raider, but it has a line on it and i'm not sure what that means (see attached image)
if i click it, all the options are grayed out, so i can't uninstall it..
if i click and hold, a different menu comes up, where most of the options are grayed out as well, i can only do Assign Labels, Explore and View in Market.
If i click Explore, it says:
com.skype.raider
files/
shared.lck 0B
defetto/
main.db-journal 8.0KB
any idea what's going on? thanks in advance

Never mind, i made it!
I bought an application from the market called Root Explorer, i couldnt find a free one doing the same, basically giving full access to my folder structure.
Anyway, i was able to find the com.skype.raider folder and delete it..
after that, next install went fine!
the correct path was /data/data/com.skype.raider
so if you have the same problem, you can use abd and delete the folder and you don't need to buy the above mentioned app..
p.s. how do i set this thread as answered?

Had a similar problem! I couldn't downlaod anything from the market. Unmounting the sdcard has fixed the issue. Thx http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thank you for sharing your solution. It helped me solve the "insufficient" problem

Issue with app's ?

Hi.
I have issues here.
I would install market and Astro filemanager.
But I got info that they already was installed.
I cannot see them in the Application->Manage applications
It tells me, that " you don't have any third party apps installed".
I had the idea, that the GT540 is rooted, but obvciously not, as I cannot install apk's using the adb command.
Beside this, I also have this:
process com.android.vending issue.
What can I do?

You've missed the forum, this should be in General or Themes and Apps forum.
You haven't stated what ROM are you using.
Are you trying to install Astro via Play Store or from apk on sd card?
com.android.vending is a Google Play Store app, has it updated itself or is still Market?

Sorry for posting a wrong place :-(
I'm not sure what ROM I'm using. It's the dafault one, as it has not been modified, but Don't know. How to see it?.
It's an LG GT540 I use.
Iwould install it from apk on SD card, but due to a reason I don't know, I cannot get adb to work.
It tells me, that device not found.
I have formatted the SD card with FAT32, and now I cannot see the system path.
Bot worth to mention, I'm a newcomer here on Android :crying:

For recovery and fastboot look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747

I'm not sure what puzzled me, but now all is working.
I did an factory reset -one of an enormeus lot-, and after all worked again.
Now I can go to Market and do all what I want.
Thanks for the link to recovery and fastboot.
Will save the link for future use.
So for now, thanks for all your comments and great infos.
They are much appreciated
