If your country has official Google nav support, this isn't for you.

Hey guys,

I've modified Brut.all's Maps to better suit my taste and with Brut.all's permission I'd like to share the *.apk with you.

What's changed:

  • All icons with "BRUT" watermark reverted to stock
  • The [brut] suffix removed from the application name
  • Package name reverted back to com.google.android.apps.maps, so everything works correctly, including Car Panel and Chrometophone.

Bonus:

  • Zipaligned
  • Map caching enabled by default

DISCLAIMER

I am in no way responsible for damage done to your phone or to you, reindeers run over, alien abductions or global warming :D Everything you do, you're doing at your own responsibility. The one and only author of this great mod is Brut.all, so all cash and women are to be sent to him.

DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:

1) Always do a nandroid backup.
2) Download the zip file below, put it to your SD card root and flash via recovery or ROM Manager.

squrl_maps-brut16.zip, md5sum e958982666a36ed2a7df1924ae49e7c6

FEATURING IN
:p

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • Some users are reporting that they don't see Maps, Navigation, etc. in the app drawer after they install the update.zip.
    If you are experiencing this issue, read post #80, it contains an explanation and a fix as well. It may be a bit drastic, but it's the price you have to pay if you want to use this mod.

Enjoy :)

Special thanks to Brut.all for his work and friendly approach & to ivarson_swe for the help with package name reversion, and for the tip with enabling the map caching feature by default.

PS: If you like what I do and want to show some appreciation, you can register your Dropbox account through my referral link. You'll get 250MB for free, I'll get 250MB for free and we'll be both happy :D

Great work, but i wonder is that possible to change package name to "com.google.android.apps.maps" instead of "brut.googlemaps" ???
reason to change: brut.googlemaps doesn't work in chrometophone :p

chrometophone asks what application you want to use when you send it something from google maps to your phone.

So no problem here.

Maybe you selected to allways use the normal google maps?

no, the chrometophone is having bug on this. it default to com.google.android.apps.maps. you can check the bug filed as below.

http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=129#c0

Strange, i use brut version, because can't install the normal, flashed a rom without google maps over a rom witch had google maps and now can't install the normal version.

But when i send some route with chrome2phone it asks if i want to open it with my browser or googlemaps brut. and it works normaly.

Which recovery are you using? The stock? I recommend clockworkmod recovery by Koush, you can either flash it permanently to your Desire using unrEVOked, or use it with the fake-flash method.

Brut has a new version 4.4, brut15 out. Can you, by any chance, modify it for the Car Panel again?

Hi I'm from the Philippines and never did get Brut's maps to work over here!

Is it supposed to work?

Also tried installing this package but it doesnt show up in my app list, how am I supposed to install this? Thanks

    I am no longer maintaining this mod, because with upcoming releases of brutmod, there will be a "stockified" version available for download. I have asked a mod to lock this thread.
