But Google has caught using the Navigation function in Google Maps Android to anyone outside the U.S., anything that the people at XDA can not solve. They put two versions available for those who want to test this super system, a who has access to Root and another for those without such access.
To install the root is more complicated because you need to uninstall and then install the Maps that changed with the commands:
adb remount
adb shell find / system / data-name \ * google \ maps.apk * \ *-o-name-delete Maps.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
adb install-r-directions maps3.3.1-by-root-2.apk
adb reboot
A version-root installs in one second but the Maps folder (com.google.android.apps.m4ps) or they changed the maps by m4ps. So I installed it this way usually keep updating the maps and the first time they called the Navigation function he asked me to decide what I would use, then scored to remember and always use the m4ps.
Nav Launcher
Navigation ready after we have released Nav Launcher install which is available at the Market, is a simple screen with options to find a destination. Contacts appear only in your Google contacts who have registered address.
Another way to use it directly within the Navigation Maps, where it was possible to construct a route now we can also ask to use the Navigation on Rota.
But things are difficult, in my tests it did not work in Portuguese, but it worked in English and German. Another problem is that Street View is not yet available either here or in Germany and in Brazil, so you can use it only on the map with satellite photos.
I still want to test it some more because without Street View it seems weaker than the CoPilot Live, which despite being expensive has the maps offline.
PS
Personal! get the latest version 4.0 of navigation maps for Brazil. Just install:
Still a bit difficult and I could not join her in the same way you can do with Facebook for example, but I got some progress.
The first was an application Orkut think that really matters to your Twitter messages and no use go on + Applications and search for the word Twitter applications that appear are all useless, the only one who managed to download the message and put it as if I had typed it again in the "Tell something to their friends" of the new Orkut was Twitkut (Link).
Has only one disadvantage of Twitkut unlike Twitter's Facebook application that will not keep running if he's not activated, ie the messages will only be imported from Twitter if you open the application. One solution to this would put the link for that application in your favorites and occasionally enter, for example after "Twitter."
Now to integrate with Wordpress Orkut, Blogger, Blogspot or any other system of Blogs you can follow the method that I spent to integrate with Facebook via Twitter ( "How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more. ") and use the Twitkut to tell your friends Orkut which is new in your blog. After the blog is integrated with Twitter just access the link Twitkut posted after that will launch the message with the title of the post and the link to Twitter Orkut.
Now the method I chose to integrate my blog with Orkut and Facebook was also using the Sociable WordPress Plugin I've added yet Orkut as you can see below. So when I finish post something here I use the buttons below to send a message with the title, image and link to my friends and still leave the option open to all visitors to the blog.
If you have any other blog system is just copy the code that the Javascript icon Orkut bar down there, if you are using WordPress with the Sociable plugin and you want the file "sociable.php" amended leave a message below that I send email with a brief explanation of how it works. (Explanation and file below)
This code adds the icon of Orkut at the end of the bar of Sociable, and opens a window to send the page to open the "Promote" Orkut. But it does not work very well when the user is in a category or the main blog page, because then it does not send data from the specific post but the window as a whole. Please copy the icon orkut in images of the sociable and see if the shortcut in the code above is right on: img src = \ "/ wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/orkut.gif \"
It was very easy to get an invitation to the new Orkut, only to go look for the word orkut Twitter that is popping up all along the same phrase "Who wants to call ..."
I liked the look and especially the interactivity of the messages. Too bad it only who is the new Orkut can interact. Basically is a copy of Facebook, with the message "Tell something to your friends" up there and then the staff may comment.
Apparently with the new API will now be possible to integrate with Orkut or Twitter feeds and still want to give a studied these new codes. It will be great to send messages directly on Orkut Twitter or blog the same way as today on Facebook. Orkut until there is an application of Twitter, but it serves no purpose, is not the same as the application for Facebook.
After activating the new system takes about two days to be able to invite someone, I got five calls in case someone wants to just leave a message below that I still have I sent. How do I put in previous post " Who will help me to understand Google Wave? calls Google Wave I still have if anyone wants to try just let me know, I send an invitation.
Tested in recent days, the Wave and seems promising, it is very interesting to see every key that the other is typing, including typing errors. But the conversation ends up getting quite confused with this option to respond in conversation, the idea is to answer a question that was made up, but often the conversation is still there in the middle.
I need to reinstall a good part of the programs I have on my phone, and it had to assemble a list of installed applications. I will take to get to the blog, commenting on the best application. To do so must first be able to capture the screen of the mobile.
With the screenshot-application configures itself one time and then the unit is making images in this period. But the images do ShootMe if the device is shaken for about 5 seconds. Just activate the program and then when you want an image shake the accelerometer device that activates the program, it is possible to listen when the image is made. The images are saved on the SD card in the "ShootMe. An example are the images of this post, click to enlarge.
The application is very easy to use and very efficient, by downloading and installing updates and themes. But before his work properly you must set it right.
Settings
Notifications
In Notifications is possible to define the frequency at which it will automatically check for updates and how it will warn you (tap or vibrate)
Rom Update Settings
Here it is possible to see the mark of Cyanogen Vercoe experienced, if you want to risk testing them. The server must be pre-configured otherwise enter the address:
The server issues have to be configured, at least for me it did not work automatically. Then go to "Manage Servers Theme" then click on Menu and select "Update Servers Featured Theme" done now it will pull all available themes.
Advanced Settings
Here we have the option to change the folder where the files are saved in the SD (cm-updates is the default), you can also clear this folder.
2 Program
The program is divided into three tabs with the first update to the ROMS, the second with the themes and the third with the file that are saved in the folder cm-updates of the card. You can also download computer files to that folder and apply to the program.
At the moment I am testing the theme MarksTheme 4.2.3.1.e which is quite interesting but I had to increase the number of screens 3 (default) to 5, you can increase up to 10 pages but does not pretend to have both programs or widgets.
Alternatively we could insert a ROM for example I chose the latest version of CyanogenMod, version 4.2.3. The procedure is fast and easy, we need the files:
From version 1.6 1click root system does not work if your Smartphone is in any previous version skip to item 3.2 below.
I updated my phone to version 1.6 for there to decide that I wanted a little more of it, and from this version is a bit more complicated to obtain root privileges and can install the modified versions of Android eg CyanogenMod .
To follow this manual recommend having at least a basic knowledge of Linux alias without it I would not advise putting the phone in Root, it will be much easier to damage the unit. I am not responsible for the following, I followed the manuals that will show and for me it worked but I could have lost the device if something went wrong.
But what are the advantages of this process:
limiting the official version only allow you to install programs on internal memory in my case was 60MB, with the latest versions of programs CyanogenMod go directly to the SD since it has an ext2 or ext3.
The possibility of using a partition-partition Linux SWAP
Be able to provide the Internet appliance (tethering) to your computer or laptop via USB Wifi
Of course there are disadvantages for example the automatic update is off but for that we already own Cyanogen an application that makes the upgrade from them.
1-DOWNGRADE
So let's start first of all you must do a downgrade to version 1.0, or we will return the phone to its original form before the updates, this procedure will also be necessary if we are to withdraw privileges Root and again have access to the automatic updates direct from Google.
Here I had two paths or two books a lot like an easier and one that worked . The easiest basically do not need Goldcard. I advise trying first to make this straightforward procedure if the author could perhaps work with you and save you some steps, the manual Cyanogem own says nothing of Goldcard.
In both cases we must first file DREAIMG.nbg RC29 (U.S.) [Link1][Link2] if you have an appliance or American RC7 (UK) [Link1][Link2] if you have a European device, unzip the file and put DREAIMG.nbh the file to your microsd card from your G1. Do not rename the file, the file name has to be DREAIMG.nbh
The procedure without Goldcard just switched off the device, press and hold the button to take photo and power button.
It will connect in recovery mode, in my case I received the error 00028002 (not allow) and returned to the screen of the rainbow. I have checked the message and found that it meant that my CID was wrong, this error also happened to me once with the Goldcard but I think I must have done some mistake in time to copy the number of CID, for the second time worked. In the comments of the manual also has a user who received an error message but simply formatting the SD, and placing the file DREAIMG.nbh worked, is one possibility.
To exit this screen you can dial by pressing the Menu + + End, in my case I was forced to remove the battery and USB cable as this combination was not working.
If you run these two screens will appear next, the first asking to push the power button to start the process. Care for your cell phone battery does not run out this procedure because it can be to defeat the device. If managed istalar will not be necessary to mount the Goldcard, and the device will be in version 1.0.
A month ago I noticed that every time I enter the Google homepage (iGoogle) in German it appears the new look, in the English version also works and this can be accessed at: http://www.google.com.br/ig?hl=en
I use iGoogle since it was launched, and I find it very practical to have more information on the same screen. Among my application is for:
TwitterGadget my main Twitter application for the desktop.
Facebook also check mostly for the iGoogle
Google Talk software replaces virtually
Google Calendar is well summarized
Gmail in Portuguese version shows only the inbox
Google Notebook also replace almost all the main page of this tool
the list of documents GoogleDocs also saves me from having to go through a few pages.
IGoogle But it helps a lot with the window of the translator Babylon, with the currency converter, Last.fm player and more. This new version is a subdivision of the tabs, or tabs moved to the left side in the form of a sidebar and now you can see all the widgets of the tab as well as each of them expanded. In the picture above are all of my applications tab and original image alongside for example the application of meteorology expanded, including with the marking on the Maps of the location of weather stations. Not all applications are running in expanded form, for instance Google Calendar. Gmail works pretty much already in full within this version of iGoogle, but the Gmail shortcut keys are disabled. IGoogle is great is improving but still can not integrate all the services of Google Analytics for example no longer functions and the widgets (or gadgets) Google Reader and Google News can not be as efficient as the pages of these services.
First how to integrate Twitter with Facebook, for it has two Facebook applications, simply register on both what you write on Twitter will show up on Facebook and vice versa. First to own tool "Twitter" Facebook, which imports the twitters for Facebook.Depois tool "Twitter Updater" for Facebook, which exports to the Twitter posts that you publish in Facebook.Ou is now all goes to Twitter will appear on Facebook, then just what you want to integrate with Twitter. In my case my Blog this on a Wordpress installation on their own server, then installed the plugin "WP to Twitter" to send the title of the posts with the link to Twitter automatically and this also goes for Facebook.
For those who do not use Wordpress, but Blogspot or any other blog tool has another option which is what I use to send to Twitter the best news I read in Google Reader , this solution is based on Feed (RSS) blogs. Just register with http://twitterfeed.com/ there and add the feeds you will want to be published in your Twitter. Just beware of the "Shorten link through" which is the shortening of the link to Twitter, the first option I tried (I forget which) was blocked on Facebook, so the message was published in Twitter but would not go to Facebook I moved to the shortening "bit.ly" and had no more problems.
Another advantage of http://twitterfeed.com/ is that once you can see how many times this post has been accessed via Twitter or Facebook.
Another interesting thing is the integration of plugin http://www.buddyfuse.com/ for MSN, this plugin with the contacts from Google Talk (Gmail) are also available to speak directly to MSN, and when you change your sentence Status this sentence is sent straight to Twitter and the above that also goes for Facebook.
Now if you are finding difficult to stay following email, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk, Weather, Exchange, Bovespa, ... in a thousand pages on the Internet tell you're wasting time, nothing like putting it in Google home page and ready with some of the Widgets to monitor everything on a single page in the coming days publish the best applications in iGoogle .
I think that's any questions just post in comments, just do not ask me how to integrate Orkut, because that canceled the option to add feeds and if it does not change soon I predict he'll end up dying.
PS RT Twitter's also going to Facebook, but not direct messages.
Until today I did not understand why Orkut has not incorporated the Picasa photo album is after all one of the best tools from Google.
Facebook is already much easier to integrate in truth here is to import the photos with comments included. The application's own Photos 2 Photos Facebbok lets you do the import of some of the albums or photos PicasaWeb or Flickr with just a few clicks.
