New Maps Navigation hack
Submitted by rac on 12 December, 2009 - 14:25.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.

Advertisings with AdMob
Submitted by rac on 5 December, 2009 - 00:35.I included AdMob ads in the latest 2 releases of MarketEnabler and it's running now since 27.11.09 so I can't say that much about Advertising with AdMob.
If you don't now what MarketEnabler is, see http://market-enabler.googlecode.com
Until now, I'm not very pleased with the ads from AdMob for various reasons:
- The revenues are not very clear, I don't know exactly how they come together (I think this is on most ad providers)

Wie Darf ich diese Garantie verstehen?
Wenn eine dieser Pflanzen in den nächsten 12 Monaten eingeht oder keine Früchte trägt, werde ich sie wohl wieder zurückbringen und eine neue auf Garantie verlangen nur um den Gesichtsausdruck des Verkäufers zu sehen... ;-)
