  • UPDATED GOOGLE MAPS

Mglumpis
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)

                  Biden2020prez Thanks just tried the google maps now and looks good. Any chance you can do the version with the built-in pointer? The mouse gets finicky sometimes...
                  (side note: the amazon app will also not function w/o an update, so maybe either remove the app, or try to remove the update script)

                      Flippy I'll check it out, amazon worked for me 2 weeks ago. In terms of maps with a pointer, see this post [Login to see the link]

                      Is there a maps with a pointer that used to work (if so, I'll try make it work)

                        techy Did you already have a version installed? In other words, did you install a new app, or update an old one?

                            uninstalled with ADB? If so, try it now the -k. (It won't save data from the previous version)

                            Uninstall my version with adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 package.name

                              Biden2020prez Originally I was using the uninstaller app. Now I did pm uninstall com.android.cts.jooglemaps and it worked.
                              Thanks.

                                  techy To be clear, idk why it didn't before, but I'm glad I could help

                                      techy True, for some reason I always put it in

                                          Biden2020prez I just did a new install on a Kyocera duraXV e4610 and got the update page. Any tips?

                                              Flippy I honestly don't know, (I can try to look more into it). Can anyone else confirm this issue?
                                              Can you try to uninstall and install again just it's the same issue [Login to see the link] had
