I am on Faux's latest kernet for AT&T & Ninja SF.
Everything seemingly works ok in maps (GPS however seems to not be able to lock) until I click on navigation where I then get "Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly".
Tried uninstalling maps through TiBu, have also fixed permissions in Rom Manager without results. Any clue?
Bumping this up, need the damn navigation in a couple of days .. :-(

Did you ever get a fix for this?
Having the same issue...
have you guys tried the 'default' fix
i.e. tibu/nandroid backup as a precaution, then do full wipe and re-flash of your ROM, restore only missing apps off tibu (i.e. so you're left with out of the box maps and navigation). And by full wipe I mean moto-fastboot -w, not just the cache/dalvik cache.
You can also try and see if your GPS actually functions at all by using apps like gps status. Could narrow it down to GPS specific issue or google maps app wigging out

Running DJ-steve's 1.6.1 rom and I am finding it to be pretty smooth. Just don't attempt to restore apps or system data with titanium backup...I just restored apps and all the apps force close until you uninstall and reinstall.
My question is this.... When I go into the navigation (Blue triangle) app it tells me searching for GPS signal or searching for positioning ability or something like that and it just sits there searching... the GPS symbol comes on in the status bar from time to time and that is it... Anyone else having an issue regarding capturing a GPS lock in navigation? (before you ask, I did not restore the navigation app using titanium or any other program... im using the one that came with DJ_steve's 1.6.1 rom) Thanks.
**UPDATE** A full wipe and re-install did the strick
My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.
Does anybody notice the same issue?
My phone is not rooted. After the official update to 2.2 (ED01) I found this problem with all apps on my Fascinate that have the scan function: google goggle, shopsavvy, amazon, etc. Sometimes they crash at starting (goggle will force the phone to reboot), but most of the time you can open the app and scan properly once or twice, then the scanner fails to auto-focus or adjust brightness or white balance, getting no response. Hitting any keys on screen or the back key will only end up with vibrating and screen-blackout. I can only exit the situation by hit home and kill the app in task manager.
I found a similar post around xda:

The problem is said to be associated with the stock Email.apk and will be gone once you run the email app. But this solution doesn't work for me.
Anyone has more idea?
I just tested out Google Shopper and Barcode Scanner with two barcodes each, and neither had any issue. Have you opened up the camera app since updating? Froyo brought about new camera firmware, so if you haven't opened Camera since updating, that could be what's causing the FCs.
The stock camera app and third-party apps like retro camera both have no issue. The picture-taking function goes well, problems only come when the app need to scan back and forth and auto adjust.

Thank you for testing that for me. Can more people try out? Am I the only one that have this issue?
If so I assume this is an individual problem that can be fixed by factory reset, although I am reeeeaaaally unwilling to do that.
My phone is all tricked out and everything works great.
I tried on my wife's phone which is stock and it has numerous issues with camera, google goggles, market, barcode scanner, etc... surprised she's not noticed. :/
Rebooted and everything worked.
Google Goggle's might have crashed and caused the initial issue.
So, maybe just a reboot will help you?
Thanks, but I have no luck with that. Roboot doesn't help at all in my case. I even uninstalled the Goggles and the other scanner apps still suffered the same issue.
Google goggles works for me

Hi - So I have this issue where opening google maps crashes back to desktop. The interface opens, the place where the map is stays blank, and boom, crash to desktop. Of course this means navigation, places also do not work as intended. Ironically other mapping apps including locus (which uses the google maps api) work just fine.
Now, I tried:
- Deinstalling via titanium backup and reinstalling from market
- Factory reset THEN reinstall the whole rom (cognition)
Still not working. Looks to me like another app conflicts with it. I have 205 user apps. I'm not going to be able to take one out a time and test.
I tried reading from the catlog via system tuner. Unfortunately all it says in there is that maps crashed (oh really?? ) and not much else.
I guess my questions is, where can I find logfiles, or anything else that would help me discover which application is crashing my map tool.
I'm on MeanBean (not sure how this applies to other ROMS).
It was failing 99.99% of the time over Bluetooth.
I just tried uninstalling Google Search with Titanium Backup.
Then Reinstalling from Google Play Store.
Still Broken.
Then I Cleared Data on Google Search, Rebooted to recovery and Cleared Cache (thinking some BAD learned data might be the cache).
BINGO It works perfect OVER Bluetooth now.
I don't know if it was the, clear data, reboot or the clear cache but these steps absolutely fixed it.
Uninstall With Titanium Backup.
Install from Market.
Go to Apps and Clear Data (again this might clear corrupt learned data).
Boot to recovery, Clear Cache.
Reboot
I tried 5 names that would COMPLETELY fail before.
I can't say if this will stick for good, but it looks promising.
That's it.
Read Posts below...
Wait !!!
It stopped working.
I swear it worked perfectly !!! for 5 minutes.
I put the phone down to write this post.
Picked it up and said the SAME names and now they completely miss.
I wonder if it rebuild the bogus lookup table or something again.
Yeah, the Google Now voice dialing is pretty poor.
Apparently moving the app from a system app to a data app should give you the option of using either GNow or the stock Voice Dialer (at least it did on ICS). Is the stock Voice Dialer included in the build?
My device is bricked currently, so I can't check/test.

I don't think the old search is included but that might allow a 3rd party app to work.
Sorry to hear about your bricking.
Well at least I found a pattern...
More Info...
It's the clear cache that momentarily fixes it.
Works every time.
Reboot to Recovery
Clear Cache
Reboot
Voice Dial Over Bluetooth Works every time using say 3 different names.
Wait a minute and then it will fail with the SAME names no matter how many times I say it.
This is STRICTLY Bluetooth. Handset works fine.
My guess is when I reboot with cleared cache, it skips using the optimized search database. Because it always pauses when it works after I say the name.
I think the search database is somehow only compatible with the handset.
Once the search database is built the Bluetooth then uses it and fails from there on.
Clearing Data or Cache from the Apps Settings seems to have no effect. But clearing cache from Recovery does. It might be that when I do it from recovery there is an implicit reboot too. But Force Close, Clear Data, Clear Cache will not bring it back.
