Alright folks. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. Jellybean 4.1.2 Stock Samsung.
I recently updated Google Maps to the newest version available. I think its 7.x or something. I don't like it. Many streets and addresses are not showing up. So I went into SETTINGS > APPLICATION MANAGER > Maps > Uninstall Updates.
Once this process was finished, I am left with 3 applications in my Application tray:
com.google.android.maps.driveabout.app.DestinationActivity
com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity
com.google.android.maps.PlacesActivity
When I click on any one of them, either Google Maps, the previous version starts - which is great. Or Local. Or Navigation starts.
Now, these 3 applications have a generic Android icon next to them. Is there anyway I can get my "Google Maps", "Navigation" and "Locals" Icons and application names back?
Thanks.
Did you try to reboot? You didn't mention this in your post. Maybe it solves your problem

I did reboot the phone. That did not solve the issue. I did however solve the problem. What I did was I just downloaded the maps apk version 6.14.4 from some website and installed it. This brought back the proper icons and proper names of all 3 apps. Navigation, Local and Maps. So all's well and good now. I still get the the update prompt that I should update to the latest. But I hate the latest at this point.
Problem Solved.

I recently updated my rooted Eris running nonSensical ROM to the laest version of the Market and now when I search for any applications (games or apps) I get no results found.
If i search for books or movies I do get results. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, and even doing an uninstall on updates to the Market app.
The uninstall does take it back to e previous version, but no results found still. Then after restarting the Market, it auto updates to the latest version again.
Am i going to need to reload the ROM to get the market going again?
Try the procedure from this post here. This cleared up the market issues I was having. Also, it may be my imagination, but after doing this, things seem to load a bit faster in the market for me. Just a thought!

this is not for noobs though ... i have no freakin idea what file to put where and what to do? i just downloaded stock FW and kernel, flashed it via odin on my samsung galaxy s2, and after the flashing my market just don't respond. i can't find facebook, gmail, google+, zedge, nothing. it's just as if my account has been banned... i only get some homebrewed apps shown when i search for proper apps. and since my phone is not rooted, i believe i don't have the premission to move any system files ?
I (finally) upgraded to the Official CM7.1 and Google apps yesterday (From CM 7.03).
Wiped Dalvik only.
After the update, Market worked fine, and there was an update to Google Maps. I upgraded, did a quick test, and it seemed fine.
A few hours later, there was another Google Maps update to 6.0 (B) with Inside Maps, so I updated again -- Normal update through the Market.
I can navigate around, but doing much anything results in a freeze and FC pretty quickly.
Nothing else at all has FC since I updated.
Now the Web-Based Market says maps is incompatible with my device, but there is no official way to get a working, current Google Maps.
I know I can re-install Google Apps, but I just wanted to warn people not to try 6.0 for the moment.
I'll post a logcat if anybody wants it.
Similar running GtabComb3.3 (B/L 1.2) , but the tablet will reboot shortly after launching Maps (latest updated version).
It'll reboot shortly after launching......while in Maps using it or if you just launch Maps (like accidentally or such) and exit back to the homescreen........a few seconds later...REBOOT. Every time.
I've uninstalled updates so the tablet doesn't reboot, but I need the previous version so I can at least be more updated than what comes with GtabComb
6.0.1 is out now. It worked for a few seconds and then same problem as before. Reboot and broken wifi. Had to uninstall update again.
Yes, Google Maps 6.x will not work on the Gingerbread ROMs for the GTablet... looks like an opengl issue...
Google maps reboot
So has anyone found a way to install an older version. I have tried un-installing maps and installing an old version. Keep getting, unable to install.
I have been having the same issue on both CM7 and Flashback.
**EDIT**
After looking into the GAPPS zip I had, apparently Maps is not included. So I found a copy of maps version 5.10.1 laying around on my PC, I added it to the package and tested it. No Force closes so far. I have uploaded it for anyone else having this issue.
Link mapsgapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Just saw there was a 6.03 update for my Dell Streak.
So I updated the Streak, pulled the .apk, and installed it on the GTab.
No luck. 6.03 is no better. Constant hang and FC.
I also have a 5.x around that I was smart enough to pull from the Streak before the first update to 6.0x, but thanks to trock79 for posting a fall back.
Wait for 6.04, rinse, repeat.
It's fixed!
I updated the latest maps (released on 4/25) and the issue has been fixed!
Hurray!!!
Not for me.
I wiped everything, and upgraded to Official CyanogenMod 7.2 RC2.
Installed latest (Current) Maps from market.
--> Almost immediate bad crash requiring a reboot.
I wonder if this has anything to do with 1.1 B/L vs. 1.2?
I'm on 1.1 (never upgraded)
maps crash
I was running Flashlight, GB, 1.2 and was crashing. Flashed CM 7.2 RC 3, still crashes.
So is the current fix to get a working google maps is to stick with the v.5 install?
I'm on G-Harmony ICS, bootloader 1.2
Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).
The same problem, but with a different device, is here:

Hello,
atfer i updated from ArchiDroid 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 i saw that GMaps wasnt shown in the Launcher anymore, so i checked and it isnt even installed on my device.
When i try to install it from the Play Store i get the Error Code: Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID
So i tried to flash the latest GApps package for CM but still GMaps isnt showing up.
Does anybody know how i can fix this problem?
Regards,
Fixi
Same Problem
Have got exactly the same problem using ArchiDroid V1.7.3, issue was mentioned in the Develpoment section but the only solution offered was to wait a few hours until Google Play recognises the phone.
The rom been installed for several days now & I'm still unable to install G Maps from the store due to the ID issue, short of reinstalling the rom has anybody got any thoughts?
Thanks...
Hey.
You can download inverted GMAPS directly from my github -> https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk then put into /system/app. Otherwise make sure that there's no uninstalled junk left in /system/app and /data/app directories. You can also clear google store's data. Eventually if everything fails you can full wipe and make sure to UNTICK google maps in aroma (if you don't want inverted version), it's unticked in the default configuration.
Let me know if you have further problems.
Have fun with ArchiDroid.
All Done
Many thanks for the info Archi, worked perfectly. Love the Rom, super smooth... :victory:
Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.
