Google Maps 3.3.0 On the market

Welp I just installed 3.3.0 on my G1 and now I'm getting Force Closures.
Compass arrow
Scale bar
Terrain Layer
More…
When I opened up the new Google Maps for the first time it asked “What’s new in Maps?” and it answered:
Report a problem with the map or a business listing
See businesses at an address or near a point on the map
Try out experimental features with labs
Uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine.

Thanks for the uninstall/reinstall tip. that solved my problem. running CM-4.2.7.1

No force closes here...
The new features are cool, but nothing nearly as awesome an addition as Navigation was. Either way though, love to see that they're improving it all the time. Android's Google Maps is WAYY better than iPhone's if you ask me.

I like the fact that you can report problems right from the phone too.

I am personally getting a "package not signed" error on Enmther's TheOfficial. I uninstalled it but I still cant get it to install/

love it!! no force close after reinstall

does it have street view

Yeah it still has street view. You just long press anywhere on the screen and it brings up the next menu. As long as street view is in your area you will get the use of it. Like my area shown up above in the screen shots I do not have street view in my area so I can't really use it much.

can any one upload an apk of the new google maps, having a hard time installing it via market.

Running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and had the hacked version of 3.2.1 Maps (via XDA, before it was available on the market). Upgraded to 3.3 via market and it works fine, no FCs.

getting the same. running cyanogen 4.2.7.1 installed 3.2.1 from market fine last time. no option to uninstall from manage apps - how are you guys uninstalling?

a full uninstall (e.g. i did it with Super User File Management System (SUFMS) and then reinstall via market fixes the Maps 3.30 force close issue

Having the same problem here with the unsigned package error message - tried uninstalling, manually deleting the Maps.apk file but no luck...
Does anyone have a working APK that we can just push to our app folder and get it over with?
I'm running a modified CM 4.2.7.1 (on which people are complaining about he same issue). I don't get Google with their crap they have to do to block certain features and render the whole thing useless for all users with custom roms until someone has to spend the time and figure it all out for the rest of us...

When you are on the market there should be an option to upgrade. I simply upgraded and then when I had an error I went back to the market and searched for "Google Maps" and when it came up I used the uninstall button, followed up with searching and installing.

I just tried to download it again. Its there you just have to wait for their annoying time out thing. I'd host it on my site, but honestly I'd rather not hammer the piss out of it when megaupload works just fine.
Anybody that wants to use it just rename it to Maps.apk
Its renamed funky because of an app I have installed that renames files when I tell it to back up.

Signing issues here is another thread that addresses it.

I updated my site with version 3.3.0 if anyone wants the apk...

Yeah, I just had the same issue with Angry Birds Seasons... maybe trying a data or cache clear on the market will help, haven't tried yet though.
You can just hit the thanks button too btw And, you're very welcome.

ok, just cleared data for market... Settings > Applications and fixed angry birds seasons for me, might want to try that.

I did not thank you with the button, as I did it through words, and I was in a rush. I'll try the clearing method and see what happens.

good stuff!
one thing you may want to add to your updater-script....
delete("/system/app/com.android.vending.apk")
and/or
delete("/data/app/com.android.vending.apk")
delete("/data/app/Vending.apk")
i know that some older versions of DT a2sd used to put an "extra" vending file in the data/app directory... and some ROMs (like my RCMix... which does use an updated market), have the "com.android.vending.apk" file instead of "Vending.apk"

Ahh, good to know, thank you.

Updated script and added the blue themed market to the op also... thanks again for the heads-up Tenzo.

People seem to be having FC issues with this, I am not. I will look into it more tomorrow. You can take the .apk out of the zip and place it in system/app with a file manager that can gain root or push it there with adb, that should work for sure. If you are STILL having FC issues... I'd stick with the older Market.

force closes
Ya I've tried all the different zip files for this on the forum and they all cause force closes. I would try the market fix but I cant download it off the store unless someone has an apk

This seems to be working great for me I installed and haven't noticed any problems as of yet.

Installed on KaosFroyo v38 with CFSv9 with no problem.

thanks for the blue one, works great and iv got a black/grey/blue theme thing going on
XDA droid eris forums are amazing keep it up

market opens up but every time I pick an app to download it force closes.

Just force closes on me as well, any updates to get this going?

Works just fine for me on CELB 3.9. Had to wipe the dalvik cache to get it to get past "starting download".
I just dropped it in system/app through root explorer, changed the permissions, and restarted instead of flashing. Loving the look of the blue themed one. I like the look of the update in general, but it sucks knowing that the looks came at the cost of 23 hours and 45 minutes worth of trial time for apps.

I totally agree. They could've made it at least 30mins or 1 hour. But it was mostly game makers screaming about refunds after 24hrs because so many people would beat the games within that time and refund. But, they didn't have to be so extreme with the change to 15 mins... is Steve Jobs working over there under the table?

The original market looks better in my opinion. The new one is nice but it cuts the screen more than half with the coverflow style and ads.

Wiped the cache and data for the market app and broke it. FC's now every time. Had to replace it with the old one with root explorer.

What keeps USAA Mobile from loading?

The Market app is happy to download the USAA app and attempt to load it, but it's always unsuccessful.
Any ideas why and whether something can be done about this? I'd really love to use this application.

As a 30+ year member, I wanted it too and got it to work once when I first loaded it, then no joy. Cleared data and uninstalled.
I just use Dolphin HD to go to the actual site. Works fine and goes to USAA Mobile without issue.

I was having the exact same trouble with the USAA app when my tablet arrived in the mail. I have found that the fix described in the following link will get it working for Vegan Tab 5.1 (and I would assume for any other ROM where the app is displayed but it will not install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Please post back on here if you have any luck!

Works for me
The app works fine on mine, running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and Clymsen's Kernel ver. 9.

"Working" in the sense that it will install and run for you? The market fix just changes the search results, so I can't see how that would help with installation. I have no difficulty locating the app, nor in downloading it. The problem seems to be entirely on my tablet when installation is attempted.

Would you be willing to post a copy of the .apk you're using? One can easily be created using appack.

Pulled from my Titanium Backup
Here is the .apk, though in fairness it does not work on my wife's Nextbook2 tablet. It would be nice if CWM was loadable on it, it is a decent piece of hardware, even better with a decent rom.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, I can't get it to sideload.

I haven't tried to load the market on mine so I can't install the app on the Tablet. My cell phone seems to use the google mapping GPS function with the USAA mobile app. Could that be whats causing the refusal to install? I know I had to enable it to get the app to install .

That would have been my guess, but michaeljwestii has it running on his g-Tablet.
I did try using location spoofing apps and tried installing it with the CyanogenMod 7 ROM that has functioning location service over WiFi. In neither case would it even install.

mine doesnt install either

I cannot get the app to display in market on my gtablet (running CM7 nightly or stable) and I cannot get android market from the web to push it my gtablet either. So I had my son install the app (version 3.3) on his epic and i side loaded it. Run just fine for me. What kind of error is everybody getting when they try to side load the app?

The standard, un-helpful "Application not installed" notification in Package Installer.

Maybe a kernel issue. It installed from the Market just fine on 4349 (1.2 kernel). When I downgraded back to 3588, it again wouldn't install.

Works on my tab...running Vegan Ginger.
3.3 version of the USAA app.

I have had that error in a couple of situations which I think does not sound they apply to your case but here were my solutions. One was To go into ROM Manager and have it fix file permissions, reboot, then try to reinstall the app. The other one was when I already had an older app installed and tried to install a newer app. I used Titanium Backup to force uninstall the older app and then exit Titanium Backup and install the newer app. For some odd reason the older app did not show up in market.

I had the USAA app installed at one point. I was able to use FakeGPS app (from android market) to manually set my location, but that was only required for the mobile check deposit function (which worked!). All other functions were working without that.
I'm now having trouble finding the USAA app on the google market, on either my Viewsonic Gtablets (one Brilliant Corners 1.2.1, other is TNT lite, 4.4). I lost the app when reformatting my tablet. I did the market fix, although not clearly different markets (is there a way to tell?). Anyone else able to find the app? Guess I'll try to sideload from the link above.

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.

Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.

I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.

I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.

Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.

any hack fix for this version of the market
Any hack fix

Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.

Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

Missing Download buttons!

I just installed CM7 on two NC's. I am seeing something strange in the Android App store. Some of the more common apps that I have used in the past like Astro, Facebook and others do not have a download button (or any button for that matter).
If someone can explain why and what I can do to resove this problem that would be great. A side note the NC's are using two diffrent gmail accounts.

Same and I'm using one gmail account. Also it looks like I've had a kinda old version of Facebook installed for a while (1.6.1) without marker stating there was a .2 or a .3 release. I uninstalled the app and that is how I found out about there being no download button. So it might of been a problem with some of the last nightlies as well

It's a problem with new market. Try uninstalling updates in the settings for the market.

I think it is because the new market is device sensitive, our devices show up as B&N nook colors, the market thinks we are running crippled e-readers and doesn't let us download all the cool ****.
Do what koopakid08, go to your application settings > manage applications, find the market and "uninstall updates"
New market looked crap anyway.

What I did was rename MarketUpdater.apk to MarketUpdater.apk.bak by using linux on the sdcard that I'm booting cm7 off of. Not sure how to do it if you're running cm7 on the emmc.

With the help of a friend I found what I had to do so I am able to edit apps if CM7 is loaded on the emmc. I found this extremely useful so I will link the wiki that fixed my issue.

What did you fix? How?

I updated and also have no Download button. The panel that button should be on flashes white. When I uninstall updates, my old market comes back, but after I leave the market, the new one returns, with the download button. After I leave that market and return, functionality falls apart. The main page doesn't open correctly, Download button disappears, and frames become shaky. What's the deal???

I simply downloaded super manager from the market then renamed market updater..
1. Open super manager
2. Enable root function option
3. Use built in file explorer in super manger to find market updater.apk.(should be in system apps...)
4. Rename. I simply renamed (.bin instead of apk...)
This will preventing market from updating...
Hope this helps all....
