    Mglumpis Im finding that with everyone that i hear from who has the new version they say it doesnt work. somebody suggested taking the update script out of the old one but thats out of my league

        Nhaaps If someone know how to remove an update script from an app, please post as I have an app that has the update issue also.

            mr-mayor Why dont u just get the updated version of the app?

                Nhaaps Because 1)I'm not able to to recompile the new version. 2) I've given the app to a few people and I can't always be updating their phones also. The app updates appx once a month.

                      mr-mayor in regards to 2), how often do they require an update and not allow you to use the old version at all?

                          Nhaaps how did you modify a google app?
                          I had problems with google apps because I'm unable to sign it
                          so how did you sign the google maps app?

                            didnt sign it just changed what needed to b changed and it worked(but its having probs apperently).

                                  Mglumpis Which version? I am still getting stuck by the update. Anyone else?

                                      Flippy Today I modded an old version and was stuck by the update

                                        If there is currently a version of Google Maps that is working for you, it would be a huge favor if you could post the APK here.

                                        This is probably the easiest way:

                                        1. Download APK Extractor [Login to see the link] or [Login to see the link]
                                        2. Install it on your phone
                                        3. Scroll down to maps
                                        4. click on it (since you have no mouse, you may need to tell voice access to tap the number on maps)
                                        5. Find the APK in the new Extracted APKs folder on your phone
                                        6. Upload it to [Login to see the link]
                                        7. Send us the link.

                                        Thanks in advance!

                                              Biden2020prez Great work on this and [Login to see the link]! Someone told me they bumped into a "please update message on the google voice app. ( I never saw it myself) Then it went away after a while. Can you remove the update script from google voice just to future-proof it? Thanks in advance!

                                                  Flippy I can try. I happened to be lucky with this, I tried another version of Google Maps and couldn't remove it. But Google Voice may even be easier, I may be able to fake the date to confuse the app. Can you post the APK and I'll try?

                                                  (What I removed in the Google Maps was a setting that it checks for updates on launch)
