!! UPDATE !!
 Ich und Andrea haben eine neue version von MarketEnabler entwickelt,
 mit der man nun eine Liste von Providern hat aus der man auswählen kann.
 Erhältlich auf der Projektseite oder hier

So bekommt man Zugriff auf den US oder den DE paid market

Das reverse engineering wurde von Tim und Andrea gemacht,

Andrea hat auch die Market enabler app geschrieben die den US market freischaltet.

 zu finden unter http://market-enabler.googlecode.com

Just a short notice:

I fixed issue #11 and uploaded a new version.

This app needs root and the old MarketEnabler version has to be uninstalled before attempting to install v.3.0.3

You can Download the new version at http://s.2030.tk/marketenable

Brut.all fixed an issue that certain people discovered and this should help the people that had force closes while starting the navigation.

 For root users: http://s.2030.tk/gmapnavroot

 For normal users: http://s.2030.tk/gmapnav

If you need the commands how to install the root version see my previous blog post.

This is a Project stub that will be filled with information as the Project idea grows and work on this project starts.

A friend asked me if I could make him a picture frame but not a common one... he wants a big one with a big LCD > 17" and less energy consumption (not just a laptop conversion).

Idea

I talked with someone from TI at the LinuxTag about it and he did think that the beagle board could be a possibility for doing this.

For all the people that don't live in the US but want Navigation on their Android device...

Brut.all did it again ;-) and he has my respect for this, if you want to buy him a beer like I did just click here

As you may have discovered, Google has changed the way to get Navigation data on the server side, this means that the prior hack with the Navigation Flag isn't working anymore because they implemented now server side security (instead of just security by obscurity on the client side).

The new hack doesn't work the same way, instead it is the original proxy idea but done inside the app so no need for a special proxy.

How do you install the new Maps?

Thats very easy, just download the version you want to install

 For root users: http://ul.to/ol9h9t

 For normal users: http://ul.to/368xcu

Normal users will have two maps applications like with the old hack.

update

See this post for new hack because old hack doesn't work anymore => http://www.2030.tk/new-maps-navigation-hack

Howto Enable Navigation outside US if you don't have a rooted phone?

Until now, just root users have been able to use Google Maps Navigation outside US but thx to TAPP (The Anonymous Perfect Patcher) non root users can install a special version of Maps and use Navigation...

See this thread on XDA for more details.

Ich hab mir ein neues Spielzeug zugelegt... das Android Dev Phone 1™

Die Aktivierung des User accounts beim Android Market hatte 1 Tag gedauert :-/ ich konnte es jedoch heute morgen endlich Bestellen (auf der Brightstart Tracking Seite ist das Bestelldatum jedoch noch der 23.02.09, also gestern ;-), der Status aber leider noch "Pending Shippment").

Die Kosten (für eine Bestellung in die Schweiz) sind insgesamt $519.27 (CHF 603.65 + 2% Kreditkartengebühren => ~CHF 615.-, günstigste T-Mobile variante ist 629.-).
