No Google Maps? :(

[Guest Minus616]

I recently got a rooted t-mobile pulse

However, Google Maps seems to be missing from the phone, and anytime I attempt to install it from the google site, it just trys to launch the app which I don't have!

So yeah, help? :)

I've rooted it, and I'm using it right now.

That's weird :/

Try installing googlemaps editor from the marketplace then look for googlemaps again in the marketplace, apparently it should appear and you can download it.

if you have the MCR rom installed, then I think a wipe wipes the data partition where Google Maps is installed.

You could install an MCR image of your choice, do the wipe before installing if needed.

I used the stock T-Mobile ROM and copied out of the system apps folder of the ZIP file the APK and re-insatlled that resolved this issue for me.

When I extract this it shows a folder structure with a lot of files in it ? How to get the APK file from the zip ?

I think when I unzip this it is unpacking the APK files as well ? (tried this both in Mac & Windows, but not working)

Hey, just tried that link for you and there is not a zip file? it's a direct link to an .apk file

Yeh, just copy that to your phone and install

Yup.. done that.. no issues now.

Actually the phone died due to low battery and then on next boot it said "SD card damaged - Format it now?" So I removed the card and plugged it into my macbook pro. the FAT partition was detected and then I ran the disk utility on it to repair the issues. When I plugged it back on the pulse, it still said "SD card damaged" !!

When I plugged it into the macbook pro again it failed to detect the partition at all !. So had to run a couple of recovery utilities and finally managed to get the partition back. Luckily pulse detected everything this time without any complaints. Just when I thought everything was ok, all apps started force closing and so had to re-install all the apps once again. Fortunately haven't lost any data yet, and everything is back to normal now :)

Now just waiting for the 1.7 ROM to be released publicly.
