I found this over in the Nexus section. Gameloft is giving away "Let's Golf" for a limited time. Someone over in the Nexus One section uploaded the .apk because in order to get the game you needed to download/install something else. I'm not exactly sure if this is supposed to be free ONLY for Nexus users, so if it is, I guess this thread would be considered "warez" and should be closed.
Here's this .apk...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=361664&d=1279324137
Instructions...
-Install the .apk
-Enter Airplane mode (disables all data)
-Install the game and launch it (Still don't enable data)
-It will tell you to download the game's data, choose yes.
-It will ask you to download with Wifi or 3G, choose Wifi.
Works just as described. Nice find
thanks! worked perfectly
Thanks! Downloading data now.
I followed the steps and everything was downloaded. But now when I open the game it goes blank and reverts back to the homepage. Any suggestions?
*** Nevermind, I uninstalled and deleted all the downloaded files for Game Loft and reinstalled and it works like a charm. Good find!
Works like a charm! Its reminds me of one of my top "quick play" games for the PSP, Hot Shots Golf.
Awesome!! Thanks!

Put the apk file on your sdcard and open file explorer. Install the file from there.
When I try to download the link, I get an error saying its unupported file type. Unknown sources is checked. Any idea why?
Does not work for me as well. Mail screen will load, but says it's not the original version of the game, than it boots me out.
Thanks ultra spike great post. I appreciate anything free. It works like a charm.

William, follow directions exactly and you should befind. Even install and 5o back and reinstall. I had to do that cuz I wasnt in a wifi spot.follow exact directions and you will have game.
I havent downloaded anything thru the browser on the vibrant yet i just got it my self coming from the HD2 but when i had my G1 i had to have ASTRO file manager to allow me to download files from the browser.
Working perfectly for me....thanks so much for the link!!!!
Note: if you are getting the " it's not the original version of the game" message, go to your apps, uninstall it.....go back to first post and follow the directions and it'll worked perfectly
Don't have time to play it now but it installed perfectly for me. Thanks!
is this downloadable via the browser?
Update: May have went the long way in doing this but I don't have my usb cable here at work. Downloaded to my pc, changed file extension to .zip. Attached in email and sent it to my gmail account. Download to phone and save attachment using astro file manager. Changed file extension to .apk. Don't know if its going to work but the icon changed to the picture of the game so I'm guessing it may have worked.
I will see if it work when I connect to a wifi network later on today.
Update: That above method works in you are on the go and do not have a usb cable available
Works completely fine as instructions shown. Downloaded, hooked it up via USB, APK on sdcard then unmount... used ASTRO to install.. airplane, open app, choosed wifi and done.

You know you can send yourself an apk through gmail and download it through gmail in the web browser, but not the gmail app.
What ultra spikey said....
Copy link and email it to yourself.....and then open the email and link from your phone and it'll automatically download it

Hi,
I own a toshiba ac100-10d which is the model with only wifi (no 3g) and android 2.1, which unfortunately comes with no android market preinstalled. I tried to install one using one of the many packages which you can found online. The problem comes, when I try to login in my gmail account. It says "can't extablish a reliable data connection" and it doesn't login into the account. If I try to login via youtube it creates the account but it doesn't sync it. I have moderate experience with android so you can easily tell me what I have to do. Do you think it would be possible to install the market on this ac100?
Thanks to anyone who will help me!

It would be possible if I can get him into recovery menu. Just working on it as if it could still do that I have uploaded some files to the inside. Root can be done by z4Root 1.3.0.apk. Can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834428
I've made some headway
I have installed some files from cyanogenmods tegra compiled gapps + a newer vending.apk(Market) and a diffrent Google Talk app.
I had the same problem you have, but this suddently resolved itself for reasons unknown
Gmail Works and syncs
Google Maps works
Market starts and is stable without forced close, but I can't download apps, and I get Google Talk Authentication errors wich I belive are related to the market issue (the error also appears without the talk.apk installed)
I've got a new talk.apk from a samsung galaxy s, but it will not complete the sign in process
I feel I am really close to cracking this one, but I'm really stuck.
If anyone is interested, I can post which apk files I've installed in the /system/app folder.
Oh, I forgot to say:
I've got the same 10d version without 3g, but mine runs the updated Android 2.2
So it appears that sometimes market init it works, sometimes not ... Strange
I played and did many factory resets to find the right way and now it works (triple checked!)
I have a ac100-114 (French, no 3g), with android 2.2 and rooted with z4root.
(For anyone playing with adb : before doing anything, make backups with the tegra tools, and be careful with this powerful tool!)
I also used a package from cyanogenmod : the gApps from tegra. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps)
I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:
Into /system/app/
GenieWidget
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleFeedback
GoogleServicesFramework
MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation
Talk
Vending
Youtube *
Into /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.jar
Into /system/lib/
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so
Into /system/etc/permissions/
features.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
* I had to replace Youtube.apk (in attachment) : I don't know why, but the one from cm is not working and prevent, even without launching it, the login into the market. I retrieved it from my hd2 running android ;-)
Installing maps in /system/app prevents Market initialization.
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.
The third launch should be the right one !
You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market
Gmail can be installed from the market.
Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.
Problems:
For maps you will have to get the apk somewhere else.
The calendar is missing.
@tharf
Your method works perfectly .. Thx for that. Only problem is that the service framework starts some kind of messaging service and that wakes the ac100 from standby every couple minutes.... I tried fixing that but couldn´t do it... ;0(
So this fix is kind auseless for me...
But keep up the good work... ;0)
FC reason is a
Code:
E/DatabaseUtils( 1547): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=10019, uid=10069 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS
for com.android.vending.
Does anyone has an idea how to fix android permissions, as it recreates /data/system/packages.xml if i change it?
Thanks for pointing out where is the FC cause !
I did some more tests, and it seems that if the packages.xml gets modified, followed by sync (just in case, I don't know anything about caching on the ac100), and then a kill -9 -1 is executed, the added permission stays, even if the packages.xml gets scrambled after reboot
For me it works : no more FCs
I found another thing : in order to see apps in the market that asks for the gps (maps, catch notes ...), just had this line to /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.location.xml, in the <permissions> tag :
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
(Make a backup of the file first )
So the bottom part of the file should look like :
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.location" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
</permissions>
But in order to get it working, you will need to login to the market for the first time, so a factory reset is required
hey, sorry for the dumb question..
i´ve downloade z4root and clicked on temporarly root...after a few
secs the progress ran through and the ac100 rebooted.
now i tried to install the gAppsInstaller v5 for arcors but got the error message, that no files were copied.
how did you do this?
can you please poste a howto for dummies q.q?
you wrote"
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!"
didnt you install the googlemarket after the reset, did it remain :O?
thanks
Hi,
Good job at first for trying this amazing way to install gapps into Ac100.
In my experience, that method worked well, but it seems, after pushing the mandatory apk files to the system partition, and factory resetting, in the Toshiba device initiation settings, turning on wifi will keep the Google account settings connection from working.
I've been trying many times, only turning on wifi when google login process begins will work.
No idea why that happens.
Regards.
hey gus,
i´ve come this far
ehhm..the files you mentionend.. i have copied them into the right folders, but the won´t get installed, i get parsing errors..
can someone please upload the working files?

market on toshiba AC100
Hi Guys
I can confirm that google market is possible on AC100. Also Gmail, Talk and Maps is working fine :
Can anyone please post a guide to get gApps working? (Gmail / Vending) Maps works standalone, but as far as i can see, the others need something!
Like a user above, i can't root my ac-100, it freezes and restart. If it's not rooted, i can't access the folders tharf was talking about in a previous post.
Thanks
Ok, i've managed to solve somethings (hopefully everything)
Unfortunately to root my AC100, i used ADB (I installed SuperOneClick in a previous try, don't know if it helped or not).
ADB is a tool developed inside Android project, that allows developers to test their apps directly on their phones, rather than an emulator. There are plenty of tutorial to get it started, just google it! It's not easy at first, but was the only thing allowed me to copy the files.
For those familiar with this development tool, just plug the device (ac100) in and execute
"adb remount"
in a "cmd" shell (i worked under windows). it magically remounts your system partition in RW, instead of default RO. This way you can "adb push" the files tharf listed in his first post!
Next, follow his indications:
-factory reset (HOME button+POWER button), follow the system reset, press 1 to continue, wait a few minutes and it will reboot on his own, give it time.
-configure ac100, like the first time
-connect it to wifi
-open Market App (you'll find it on the Toshiba Home menu, in the end)
-connect with random user, let it fail the authentication, the use a real one, and you're good to go!
I installed a few apps, so far so good. Only thing to keep in mind: Market launches an error after installing an app. No worries, it's fine: just press OK and go on.
I was interested in Gmail app, so i "adb push"ed it from the beginning, and it worked at first try. Same for Talk, Contacts, Youtube and Maps (find the apk, it's not hard )
Thanks to all, hope this could help.
Toshiba AC100
I've afforded this laptop two days and so far where i updated and hadded
the portuguese language, but when i when in settings->language it simples does not exist.
I dont have anything against english, but i need at least the ortography.
I could use spannish but i rather have english
Every time I run market/gtalk,I get this Message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Thnx a lot - got Market, Gmail, Maps, ... working too. Have only tested it for some minutes - but hope it will work forever
Very good especially as the Toshiba AC100 10V with UMTS is now really cheap here.
Still have the Market problem with crash after install/deinstall of an app.
Anyone tried the newer GoogleApps for Tegra from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912633
I tried to get rid of the market crash. So I did the following:
adb shell connect to /data/system after root
chmod 777 packages.xml
sync
kill -9 -1
But that didn't work I still get the crashes. Can you help me with more details what you mean with 'the added permission stays'?
Thanx in advance.

4. Jorte - perfect replacement calendar from Google, beautiful, seeing all the calendars
5. Ad Blocking
6. Titanium Backup
7. Terminal Emulator
8. New splash screen
9. Spare Parts
10. Easy selection of widgets
Installation in Windows:

I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market
The above steps are detailed in another thread

I just got my gtab from woot and basically wanted the same thing you did: the stock gtab plus the market. I followed your directions after spending the last week reading the massive amounts of posts on this forum. The only thing I did differently was installing CWM between steps 1 and 2, and repartitioning to the recommended 2048/0. It seemed like most people end up having to do that at some point. Your market fix however, didn't work at all for me. There's another fix posted by tsm26 that worked great for me. Its slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12563333&postcount=4400
The only app I still can't find in the market is Firefox, but luckily its available from ftp.mozilla.org.
EDIT: Just got the acore process problem, and had no contacts or /data/data folder at all. Used this fix and the problem is gone. Looks like it works for TnT Enhanced as well:

I am going to update this with alternate market fix for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
Step 6 confused?
Just received my gtab and following your steps to install this upgrade, however after connecting gtab to laptop I see 4 folders at the root of "E:" when browsing through windows. I assume that "E:" is the sdcard directory and these folders are located in it. The folders I can see in this directory under the windows "E:" drive are - .android_secure, Android, DCIM & LOST.DIR. However if I browse to the "sdcard" folder using the file explorer on my gtab I don't see the .android_secure folder, but do see a folder called "update.zip", that I don't see when browsing the "E:" drive in windows. Now I am really confused? Do I delete or rename the "update.zip" directory currently residing in the "sdcard" directory on the gtab and then copy over the recover and update.zip folders that I just downloaded?
My tap ui version is 1.1-3389.
Are there any suggestions?
I think you need to disable the USB sharing and you will see the files.
This worked like a charm. I decided not to root and mod, at least for now, so getting the market is great. I didn't show the sdcard directory, but I had update and an empty recovery directory, so I just replaced them (after copying the old update.zip). It wiped out the photos and videos apps on my main screen, but I found some interesting replacements. And the market fix worked great too.
But I still can't find Words With Friends... Just checked the market from my laptop and it thinks it's not compatible with my device. Oh well.
I followed the instructions to the T and the market wont work... someone please help!!!!!
The first set of instructions did not work for me, but the alternate set did work. I now appear to have a full market. Awesome!
Just for the record, I am running the stock ROM updated to the latest VS release.
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. No apps will download from the Market. When I try to download a free app, I get a "Starting download..." message but that's it. I'm also doing this at work... I think port 5228 might be blocked. Is this the reason? I will attempt from home tonight...
Help!

I've gotten to this point, but how long is some time, it has never turned back on to the main screen and now really won't boot at all, just goes to a blank screen and sit there.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Hope I haven't done something terribly wrong!
Spoke too soon?
Maybe I spoke too soon. Doing the market fix got me a lot more on the market, but there's still a lot of apps that I can't get. So many devs put their apps in market and nowhere else. Don't they realize that this is not itunes? (BTW, I've hit web sites that send me to itunes to download their apps...) How many other devices has google not approved for the market and are stuck like this? Even Firefox is undownloadable on my Android. Is that really the market fix or should I be able to access more?
So frustrating, but finally something seems to work
OK, new theory. Apparently I had to do the market fix twice. I also followed the video on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9817939&postcount=17
That's not the gtab, so it looks a little different in the menus, but the steps still worked. I guess it threw in an extra step of clearing cache on market and force stopping it before stopping google services framework. Well, Firefox doesn't show up in market, but so far everything else does. Now I have to try to remember everything I've been trying to download.
I had to do the Market fix twice, but that was no sweat.
Perfect, gunajay; thank you very much for your concise directions.

Everything is working great using this Enhancement Pack and Market Fix. My question is whether my gTab is still considered stock with these changes? The forum messages about the new firmware update all caution against applying it if you are running an alternate firmware from 3588. I don't know if I am under the Enhancement Pack and Market Fix scenario or not.
no sdcard - help please
Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.
Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?
I have the following folders:
.android_secure
Android
clockworkmod
DCIM
download
kindle
LOST.DIR
Master
Music
Photos
recovery
Videos
update.rar
Thanks in advance for your help!
Will this work with 4349?
Does anyone know if gunajay's instructions will work with with Stock 4349 and Market?

SDCARD is the folder that is mounted on your computer when you connect via USB. The list above are the contents of your SDCARD.
Doh. ;-) That worked. Thank you very much for the explanation K J Rad!

Thanks! I was going to try Google Maps but didn't expect it to work. Most apps which require data from the internet do not work, since there is no way for them to get the data (Android Wear does not currently provide a direct connection to the internet over bluetooth). But I was surprised to see that Google Maps does in fact work! Thank you

It works also as a gps.
Open google maps on the smartwatch.
Open google Maps from the iphone (not ios maps) and select your destination.
You'll get instruction on the watch

I have figured it out. You can update by manually installing the newest version of android wear app from playstore to your watch.
First, get an apk file of androidwear(android version).
change the file name into .zip, and extract it.
Inside a folder named "raw" inside "res", you can find an apk file.
install it to your watch with adb commands.
(if it fails to install, use the "adb install -r xxx.apk" command)
after this, you can update the android wear app on your watch
Thanks for the tutorial!
This app also works on moto 360?
Huawei / Iphone 5s.
Installation worked, I do now have the Maps icon/app on the watch.
It does give the location where I'am and features a map around me.
But the update of the gps signal is slow (probably caused by the frequency of the android wear app/google maps refreshes it) and I can't use places nearby (nothing is nearby) and navigation.
Navigation started on the phone is not transferred to the watch.
Any possibilities in a more frequent gps signal/update?

This APK is not wear ready.
I guess the TS stripped a full APK to a wearable one, right?
Can this be done (again) with a more recent full APK?
niravsoni said:
Yes it can be done with this version.

First question: how?
And second, does it help wear users by e.g. faster gps responses?
I think it doesn't work any more... I have installed but iPhone 6 iOS 9.0.2 Google Maps (up to date) is not responsive to the watch. Or watch is not receiving packages from iPhone. Not sure... But it hangs at "Waiting for location". Nothing else.
Which apk did you use?

@william_jc, I have used both. First tried Mahdy's it was just working like a standalone app. No iOS completion.
Then stripped the latest version for wearable. That was same so far.
No navigation, no nearby, nothing. Just a dry map. I didn't figure out or found any solution yet to it.
Edit:
I'd like to answer your question also.
When you download a wearable supported apk (through apkpure.com ie.) extract it to a folder (7zip is doing it quickly). Apk is a sort of ZIP archive. You can either change the file extension to .zip file or directly right click and extract with 7zip etc.
Anyhow, go to /raw/res/ directory after extraction. You will find another *.apk file there. That is for wearable.
You can install it right away to your wearable. Though adb :
adb install XXXXX.APK
That much easy.

Ok, same here. At least after the 1.4 update and using the first google maps.
That means: standalone map, no places nearby no navigation. Fair enough for me if the gps update time was shorter. Now it seems to update ones every 15 minutes or so. Should be every 10 seconds
I do understand the stripping now, although it seems a less smaller apk (the new one).
does this work on all adndroid wear?

I've been testing apps for days and this is the one that worked best on my AMAZFIT PACE watch. It works quite well and with the method I present you can download maps from all over the world in the internal memory of the watch. It does not work with the clock wifi itself. It perfectly locates the location and you can access most of the options.
Sometimes you can not read the content well but we can help you from the same application on the phone. I briefly explain how I did it. More ahead I will go up explaining videos.
We will need to have a phone with Android.
First, we installed the app on the phone and in the watch (via apkinstaller). The application (apk) that I have installed is called "All-In-One Offline Maps + .ver.2.4.build.51" if you put it like that in google you will appear to download.
Then we open the app on your mobile phone:
• We go to the symbol of the map,
• Click on "save an area"
• Framing the part of the map that we want to save and the zoom that we want to obtain
• Press the save button
• This process will take a long time to download
• Once downloaded we will go to the root folder of the phone and copy the folder "OfflineMaps" and save it in our PC.
Once the folder is saved in our PC we replace it with the one in our amazfit . Now we will open the app on our amazfit and should see the downloaded area. It perfectly locates our location. To be able to know what you put in the options it is better to go browsing the app on the mobile at the same time.
Sorry i can put a link because i am a new user.
Search: "Amazfit Maps + GPS offline [NEW APK compatible]" in youtube and you can see a video demostration
I hope I have been helpful.
Hi, I can't find the folder "OfflineMaps" in my phone

After saving the maps it should appear in the root folder

I see release 2.7 available, do you recommend 2.4 because it is the only one working or should I proceed with 2.7?
Do you how to uninstall the app if I need to?
thank you

I am the only version I have tried. Under my experience with other apps in the amazfit, the older the actualization the less likely to fail. That is why I have stayed with version 2.4.
Anyway try to try it and tell us how you have gone. You can uninstall from apkinstaller
it work so far but I have a blank area at the bottom of the screen (same on the phone).
I could not remove it, do you know how to do so? you dont have it from what I have seen on youtube

Hello,
On my smartphone the saving of saved cards is on Android / data / net.psyberia.offlinemapsplus / files / cache / builtin-maps,
So if I understand I get the two files * .DAT and * .DX that I put in a folder "offlineMaps" on the PC, that I send to the watch Amazfit Pace, but how to send it in the watch? With the PC and the connected watch? But there is a specific file to put this folder map in the watch?
Thank you for your reply.
adb shell

start adb shell on your PC and send:
adb push ./<pc-path>/filename.Dat /mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/legacy/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
adb push ./<pc-path>/filename.IDX /mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/legacy/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
Thus you get you files at least to your watch. I enabled on the Watch the option "Use Only local storage" in order to avoid network acceess issue.
But at the moment I do not get it why the APP is not finding the local files?
The APP on the watch indicates a different path to the workspace on the mobile for offline data:
watch pach: /storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache
with adb I do not get the access rights to create the /storage/emulated/ (read only) etc. dirctories and with the mounted path I am allowed to create everything but then itis not found by the watch app:
/mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache
Still I have no clue how to solve this directory issue?:silly:
you can kill the package on the watch with an adb shell too:
am force-stop net.psyberia.*
Beside the APP is only working in a reasonable way with the Paid version. With the free version you get a blank column in the buttom which makes navigation impossible. The App itself can only be started on the watch and only be dismissed via adb shell -> am force-stop ....
or power shut down. Since it can be very CPU consuming I would assume that the resulting power drain is not funny. Currently I think it can only ne used as a sort of emergeny app I only will use if I am completly lost and the mobile is out of power too. Therefore you should think twice before you spend time and money on this.
I am using All-In-One Offline Map+ version 2.9

I finally got it and it works great! The "simple" solution is to install a file explorer on the watch itself. I found one online and it works great (com.alphainventor.filemanager.apk). The local file explorer (on the watch) 'sees' all the directories properly. You can therefore copy and paste the files from your PC on the "SD card" part of the watch (where you can see some directories and have read/write access). Then use the watche's file explorer to move those files/dirs (the maps) to the right folder on the watch. It will then work!
As an added bonus, once you copy files into those "unseen by Windows" directories (for example one of mine was "Android" and all its subdirs) it becomes visible in Windows Explorer! So next time you update maps on the PC you should be able to copy and paste over without requiring the use of the watche's file explorer.
I hope that helps.

Ok FileManager works but you can achieve the same with adb shell too.
Still I do not understand to which path the offline map files needs to be pushed that they get loaded. According to Settings->StrorageDevice I should know the right path but it is not working.
So where to push the files?
Now I got it. Of course the offline strorage path is different for each map type and can be seen with the details of the map.
I am using OSM Hike&Bike, it states in its details for offline storage /storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps an therefore I pushed it to the followng path (means "/storage" is substituted by "/mnt/shell")
adb push ./<pc-path>/OSMCYC.DAT /mnt/shell/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
adb push ./<pc-path>/OSMCYC.IDX /mnt/shell/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
Beside I have installed a task manager thus I am able to kill the app. Thus it very much easier to restart the app when needed.

Glad you got it working. I am using the free version of Psyberia maps, as it is much lighter in resources. Of course you do get a white bar at the bottom of the screen (only on free version - paid shouldn't have it) but it is still very usable so....
