brut.all navigation hack update to 3.4.0

brut.all patched the new 3.4.0 version of maps from the eclair builds.
Of course, this works just on eclair builds or builds that have the MT framework stuff inside like Cyanogenmod.

Navigation Hack has been updated

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

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

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

New Maps Navigation hack

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

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)

MarketEnabler update => version 3.0.3 beta

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

Eclipse can't start after installing EclEmma plugin

After Installing the EclEmma (1.4.3) plugin for Eclipse (this is for Testcoverage, see http://www.eclemma.org) I had the Problem that Eclipse did not startup again with following Error message:

 ...
 !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2009-10-28 14:07:47.690
 !MESSAGE Application error
 !STACK 1
 org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Not implemented [multiple displays]
        at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3803)
 ..

After some researching and talking with others, I found the solution to get Eclipse startup again:

  • Removing all the files from the plugin
