Locale won't let me add location condition

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.

I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.

I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?

Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.

So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.

According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."

Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

[Q] Google Maps and Navigation

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask

Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time

you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!

I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.

Latitude not updating automatically... / Not working properly

I have HTC G1 with CM4 (Android 1.6) Installed, Latitude and Google Maps updated.
I have Data Plan.
I want my phone to automatically update my current location.
I am not sure what the problem is... But I think it would only update my location when I open Latitude.
But sometimes even after I open Latitude, and on the phone it says that my location is updated, I then check through a different google account to see if it was in fact updated, but nope! It says "Last update 7 hours ago" or something, and it doesn't show the right location.
Something is really not right. Did anybody experience this kinda problem and/or knows how to fix it? Please help!
Thanks.
Edit;
P.S. In settings under "My location", "Enable GPS Sattelites" is Checked and the other 2 are unchecked.

Google Maps won´t download offline maps

Hey all,
Tried the board search for a possible solution to my prob, to no avail so far:
I am using a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, GP5110, android 4.0.3.
Fully rooted, avast! security installed as firewall, running in whitelist mode - I rather allow those few application I like internet access and have everything else blocked by default, with the ongoing permission-hunger of most app developers I figured to be better safe than sorry.
My problem: Googles` Maps App is running perfectly fine, however when I try to download any offline maps (settings -> make available offline) it just opens a tab called "My Places", showing my map indicating 0.0MB/0.0MB, download never starts.
I tried whitelisting a number of different system processes - such as was necessary to get the youtube app running - but was not successful identifying the correct ones.
Anybody out there who could help?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Chris

Can you not turn the firewall off , download the maps you want then turn it back on ? I have managed to download offline maps but avast firewall was not on ..... just a thought.

Would probably work, but I'm rather looking for a permanent solution than a workaround... Thanks for your suggestion though!

Go to settings -> Clear all offline maps
Then open Google Play, uninstall Google Maps, then update Google Maps, Restart Device,
Now it works on mine. There should be a notification section called "Downloaded Maps" which tells you the progress, as well as inside Google maps.

[Q] Latitude not working

So I've rooted my wifes kindle hd, added the google apps (they seem to be working) but Latitude will not work. Every time I click on Latitude it just sits there with a "loading..." message. Any suggestions? This is the one google app she really wants so she can keep track of the kids.

JoeHockey,
Did you get the google_apps from our server?
The reason I ask is that these apps came directly from Google Development Team through our business.
All the Google Apps are ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Signed and have been tested. If you did not
get these apps through our server, just download the apps through the above link or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069859
These apps have been install on over 400 Kindles without a single problem. We do
offer free support to the XDA Community, so if you get stuck, post a response, we normally
respond within 1 hour.

I downloaded them from one of the "kindle root/google apps" threads on xda but I'm not sure which one at this point, I read a lot of them before performing the root process. Just downloaded the ones you specified, will give them a try as soon as I can. Thanks!

That worked! Now my only question is why the location that is being set by wifi is a mile away from actual location... LOL

JoeHockey,
Good job! To get an accurate location, pull down the Upper Task Bar, pull it down.
Next choose More, then choose "Location-based Services", turn on BOTH
"Enable Location Based Services" and "Location & Google Search". When
these two services are turned on, then open up a web browser like Opera
Mobile or Dolphin, go to http://www.google.com you will be presented
with a popup to "Allow" Google to detect your location, choose "Agree".
Next you will notice your location below the Google Search Window,
this means everything is working properly. Now open up Latitude,
your location should now be within 50 meters.
