Thx a lot for your fast and clear answer! Which keywords do you suggest for the play shop in order to find maps/nav? Whatever I type there are no google inc. results beside google earth...
Maps
Navigation

In Android market, Google Maps showing update is available, but when I click on update, it is showing "This video is not availbale in your country". And My google maps version is 5.10, and there is no navigational feature in my maps. Now I'm in Dubai. Can somebody advise me about this?

Maybe your try to uninstall Google maps and then reinstall it from market.
It's a bit confusing to got this error while updating google maps?!?
Maps don't use videos and market also?!
If this problem anyway is there, maybe the market saved a wrong option to open updates.
So go to: Settings>Applikation>Running Apps>All then clear the data from "market"

Thanks Hannibal for the quick reply. I tried to do what you have mentioned, but its not working. So I downloaded 5.11 from internet and installed it on my SGS2. But still there is no navigation with the maps. Showing navigation is not supported in your country. How can we bypass this?

Sorry but I think you must have a look for an alternative navigation.

Hi I'm currently having problems with Play store... Actually i cant see Adobe flash player, Adobe reader, Youtube, Google Maps and lots of others apps i suppose...
I tried every single vending-mod.apk even the one posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
On the "web" play store all those apps are saying that my device is not compatible
(GT-i9100 CM9+Siyah kernel)
I read on another forum that it can be solved by a modified build.ro and build.prop..
Is there a way?
Thank you
did u flash gapps for cm9 ,it has all tht u miss.
Did some wipe..now it seems fine thank you
Hello all
I doubt if this thread exits already cause i tried to search and cannot find there (if yes please post here if possible).
The question is why doesnt show 3 apps official like google play TV, music and books?? Maybe cause we use root for this? sound a bit stupid for me...
When i check site its show me not compatible my device.
But by checking here https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1727131
its seems support already on SHG-I777 so what wrong? (maybe cause we use CM7 and is not original?)

If you are using CM7 then you need to download GAPPS for CM7 from http://goo.im/gapps/ You will need a Gingerbread version and flash in recovery.
Also, somebody correct me if I am wrong here, I believe Google Play (formerly Google Market) now consolidates music and books as well as apps. There is a separate Google Music app also available in the Google Play Store.

Yes it does but there are also separate apps. You just buy them in the play store the use the app in the separate app.
Hi! I wanna talk about the last google apps released from goo.im (20130301). I've had problems in 5 different ROMs, AOSP and AOPK. The most relevant thing is the google voice, that crashes when I click it, and the keyboard becomes inaccessible. I fixed the problem installing the inverted gapps, but it's strange that the normal gapps crash everywhere... anybody has had my problem?

Hello,
I wish to use Android without Google. I mean, android without any google apps (gapps pack) installed just after flashing AOSP rom. I already identify and tested all alternatives apps of Google apps I used. I use already the alternative android market F-Droid. However, before use Android without Google, I want to know feedback of users that already do it. In particular about my question:
What are the constraints, bugs and disadvantages while using Android without Google installed?
Thanks
F droid is a good alternative but of course you have less apps

There are fewer apps, and they work great but you may need to look for other services to replace Google's unless you want to run the web apps (see Gapps Browser). An excellent choice is owncloud: see http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/2013/11/26/an-android-without-google/ for a short guide to replacing contact, calendar, todo and password sync.
I think the major downside is losing the advanced location functionality and push notifications available to apps that use Google Play Services. On the other hand your battery may thank you for not using it. Xmpp based messaging apps are a little battery hungry but not too bad. I've been using CM without Gapps for ages, and it works fine, but I'm hoping OmniROm will be more friendly.
jonathan and thmls : off initial topic
dab : nice feedback, great link
Android without Google (no gapps)

Hi guys, has anyone seen a list of all Google apps and services that can be disabled or deleted? I love the skinned ROM on my phone and all the features, I've started disabling and uninstalling as much Google as I can.
Hey it's ridiculous to buy a Google android device and not use the apps that are considered the advantage of android on other OSes. But a good alternative to Google play is amazon appstore

I disagree. When Google branded Android phones had a smaller market share, I would say there was more choice, you could avoid Google. Now that they dominate smartphone sales and change their policies it's different. It's becoming a monopoly and we are losing that choice.
Yeah I did try the Amazon app store, re-downloading it now to give it another go...

Problems
From the author of the No Google apps project:
MaR-V-iN said:
Android without Google apps have several problems:
Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API
Some apps fc at startup bacause of missing Maps API or market license check issues
Some apps hardcoded links to several Google Apps and therefor fc or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
No access to Play Store (i tried nearly every alternative market, but nothing is as good for free apps as play store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need

Why not just use 1Mobile Market. Completely legal play store alternative. Even has all the Google apps like maps and Google services if you so desire. (defeats the purpose I know). I went this route as I want total control of my devices. Google has got out of hand with their apps and Play Services Framework and whatever else they cram in. The apps on 1Mobile Market are more up to date than the Amazon App store also which sometimes can be multiple versions behind. So just flash AOSP, grab the 1Mobile Market APK (Google it) and go to town.
