Hi, I'm newbie.
How to install Google Maps v5.4.0 Patched to allow Navigation worldwide?
I'm not flash my tab to Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2. Can i install tat?
Thanks!
whaaaaaaaaaat?!
is this even possible?? :-O
Some guy (forgot the name, apologies) posted a modified version of the Google Maps (v4.x I believe) in the General Android Development (or Apps, I forgot) forum which enabled the use of Navigation outside the US.
I forgot the whole concept but was changed was that the app now gets its data from another Google service (My Maps?) which has the same format as Google Maps but with additional information such as routes/traffic, which provided info even for places outside the US.
I haven't seen one for Google Maps v5+, though, so no Vector maps/caching. I can't find the thread anymore, but I'm sure its still here in xda, somewhere.

I think your source for this was Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2 ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! which includes a link (in the first posting) to "Google Maps v5.4.0 Patched to allow Navigation worldwide."
hi, would you still need an active internet/3g connection to access the maps? or can the maps be downloaded so that all you need is the gps signal for navigation
so anyone can teach me how to patch the google map ? it seem that about is not the solution to patch it, should i use odin to perform ? Thanks.
Everyone definitely seemed to be curious about the Gmail for Android app update, since last it was updated in August 2012. And lately during the last 2 months we also did come across leaked Gmail app which brought some new handy features including pinch-to-zoom and gesture controls supporting devices running Jelly Bean 4.1+.
But Google might just surprise you today with its updated Gmail for Android app featuring pinch-to-zoom and gesture control supporting ICS 4.0+ devices, now available on the Google Play Store.
For more in-depth information, visit Droidviews.com
Download the apk file and Install it as a normal Android .apk application

:good: Good luck with using the new Gmail app.
Hit there,
since i am not allowed to post in development part of the forums yet, i will ask my question here:
i've installed evervolvs kitkat image (very very awesome work (can't stress that enough!)).
runs good, even with 3g i'm not having many problems.
but i am missing the standard calendar application and i am wondering where to get it ?
In the 4.3 and 4.2 Images there always was a cal application and i'm just wondering where it went.
thanks for any answer!
From Google Play Store install Google calendar
Read the OP it's write there about calendar....
i think you need to flash google apps for calendar & other google services, or download...
My suggestion would be download it from the store if you have it - I'm not sure whether the core GAPPS package includes it or not though the standard package certainly would. It's the Google Calendar application on the play store.
Hi everyone,
Now that the Lg Urbane 2nd can have standalone applications using data connection with AW 2.0 Dev preview 3, I think it is time to have a thread to list the apps that can either be sideloaded and work standalone in the watch, or wear apps that actually have standalone capabilities.
I'll start with a apk I found to stream some music right from the watch: PCRadio2016 ( https://apkpure.com/radio-online-pcradio-2016/ru.zfour.pcradio )
I sideloaded the full app with adb, and of course the interface is quirky, but you now have access to 10.000 radio station divided by genre right from your watch..
I haven't tried flashing the preview yet, but since you have I was wondering if OK Google commands now work as standalone. I'd go ahead and flash the developer preview if I was certain that the restore image was identical to the factory ROM on my Verizon watch. Thanks

Yes, Google voice works as standalone. All Google stuff is actually working very well (notifications for example), and i've been using the Preview 3 as a daily driver for more than a week now. Battery life is good, and the Whole experience is miles ahead in term of fluidity and ease of use. Only bad thing is that, because of the new playstore, you need to sideload all your apps manually until they arrive in the playstore.
Well, I took the plunge and so far I'm pretty impressed. I've side-loaded the GhostRacer wear app, and it appears to be running fine. Any chance you might have seen a way to get Play Music running?

The only music app I managed to have working is the one I posted. No chance with anything else. The problem with Google play music seems to be that there is already a music play service installed that blocks the installation of any Gplay apk.
Thanks for the info. I recently discovered that the factory image linked on the developer preview site isn't really stock (at least for the Verizon version). After flashing it, I can set up calling on the watch. It keeps telling me to run a system update. Any suggestions?
Hey there,
Is there a location sharing app (Glympse or smth) that works on standalone mode?
Thanks a lot
Hi again,
Is there Google maps available on AW 2.0?
Thanks

Yes, you need to sideload the wear version of gmaps and everything works
Where can I download it from?
Hi there,
I`m using my watch since some weeks with preview 3 daily and it's pretty much better as v1.5 before.
These are the apps were I sideloaded the micro APK:
- Citymapper
- Fit (seems to work now from the Play Store as well)
- Keep
- MacroDroid
- Messenger
- Calculator
- SafeInCloud
- Watchmaker Premium
These apps I have installed directly from the embedded Play Store:
- Browser
- PaperCraft
Cheers

Hi, I need these standalone apps:
- task manager to view cpu/ram and for kills apps/services
- file manager to upload media files or apk file and view them
More or less the same daily use of the watch but very different battery drain, I suppose bad management services/apps
Sorry for my english

There is no such real working apps for AW 2.0.

Code:
adb install OSmonitor.apk
adb shell wm density 200
works for me on AW1.5
ESfileExplorer can also be sideloaded.
Hi,
very cool sideloading app: Flightradar24
Almost everything works like on the phone. Have a look on the screen shots.

If someone can try to sideload https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bsoule.tagtime&hl=en and let me know if it'd works, it'd be awesome. I'm insta-buying an Urbane if it does! =)
I use (all sideloaded full apps):
Line Messenger
Facebook Lite
Facebook Messenger Lite
Greenify
For everything else bought the package from appfour, includes:
launcher (overlay)
email (sending+receiving standalone)
weaher app (not using actually)
nice keyboard
youtube player (standalone)
and a few other things (just look for the comapny)
to use the apps standalone, you have to choose this in the app at the beginning, if not you will always rely on phone connection (working as slave app, like normal aw wares)
what i've tried:
e-robot (works but on the small screen its a pain, the area where you choose events and actions is extremely thin)
kernel audiutor (some beta here on the forum)
clean my android (works, but i saw no imrpvements by using it)
I know i wish there were more fully functional apps for the watch..
I use NINE email on my phone.. and it has an app for the watch.. but it only allows me to do a voice memo? confused..
I would LOVE to find a better functioning SMS app..
I tried PULSE - worked great.. but missed a few group messages so not sure its reliable.
EVOLVE - looks like it has potential.. but only would let me respond to the last message in the conversation list.. even though it would show all of them.
Texpert - does show MMS Messages on watch.
Wear Messenger - confusing interface and doesn't show MMS Messages.
Messages for Android - doesn't show MMS messages
Google Messenger - MMS Image compression is horrible so didn't want to use as main SMS app on phone.
so if anyone else knows of an app that allows all messages to be viewed on the watch, let me know !
nice post, . . .

Hi guys,
I was simply trying to use Android Auto as a car launcher on my smartphone, without any actual intergration with the car, but there's always something lacking.
I've got problems with Google Assistant, there are various useful commands missing when I launch it from Android Auto.
I open Android Auto, I say "Ok Google", Google Assistant correctly starts but I can't use the following commands:
Take a note > That used to create a note in Google Keep
Open $application > That used to launch the mentioned app
and probably more I haven't tried yet.
I'm using the Italian language.
I've got a Xiaomi Mi 6 with MIUI 10 and Android Oreo 8.0.
Is this something wanted by design? To avoid distractions while driving?
Or is it a bug in my Android Auto?
Thanks!
Up guys!
Anyone? Isn't this the right section to post this?
Hi,
When android auto is on, several functionalities of android are blocked.
Google's idea is that only those applications which are homologated for android auto works. They said this is for safe driving, i don't agree.
This is limited to some music apps and Google maps/waze.
Nothing else will work.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Android Auto and Google Assistant require compatible version of the Play Service, are you using all updated?

So you mean:
GPS 12.8.76 (auto updated locked via Titanium to avoid unlocking of AA Mirror every day)
Google 8.14.15.21 (auto updated locked)
Android Auto 3.7.584044 (auto updated locked)
Click to expand...

I always keep everything updated to the latest release so what I've got is:
GPS: I don't know what that is...
Google: 8.33.6.21
Android Auto: 3.7.584044
Do you see anything wrong in my setup?
Apart from this, I've discovered that on Google Play Store it doesn't look like Google Auto should be so limited: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead&hl=en
Just say “Ok Google” to...
• Route to your next destination using Google Maps or Waze with real-time GPS navigation and traffic alerts.
• Get updates on your route, ETA, and hazards in real-time.
• Have the Google Assistant check your calendar for you so you know where you need to be.
• Set reminders, get updates on the news, and check last night’s score.
• Avoid distractions while driving by setting a custom do not disturb message while driving.
• Make calls using Google Assistant and answer incoming calls with just a tap.
• Access your contacts folder and send and receive messages with the Google Assistant using SMS, Hangouts, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, WeChat, Kik, Google Allo, and many more messaging apps.
• Manage your infotainment system like never before. Listen to your favorite media apps including Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, TIDAL - High Fidelity Music Streaming, Napster Music, and Deezer. Many more music, radio, news, sports news, audiobook, and podcast apps are also supported.

Is there a guide or an article from Google that explains what we can do and we can't do with Google Assistant under Android Auto?
Try remremoving Google assistant seems I have the Sam issue when i installed Google assistant??

Do you mean switching back to Google Now, instead of Google Assistant?
I don't think we can do it, we should uninstall the "Google" app and install an older one from an APK, it doesn't make much sense.
Is there anyone willing to try those two voice commands and see if they work?
Anyway, I didn't find much information about this problem.
By now, I gave up using Google Keep while driving and started using reminders, than I later copy to Keep when I reach home.
I say something like "Hey Google remind me to buy this album in 30 minutes", like explained here: https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7387866?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
I really hope Google is going to remove these limitations in the near future.
