    Default Viago resurrected... He's alive! :)))

    I have found a way to revive my "Viago"

    Requirements:
    - You must have a Rooted Android. Since you have to write some files in the Data folder, where the application is located.
    - Have installed some file explorer, e.g. MiXplorer, that allows you to enter the Android root folder (in Root mode).
    - Download or have installed a patched version of Viago (The 4007 version worked for me).

    Procedure:
    1- Install Viago, and execute. Advance until you are asked to connect to the Internet and close the application. Then force the application to stop or restart the phone.

    2- Download these 2 files: "generic_prefs.xml" and "com.garmin.android.apps.viago_preferences.xml"
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    3- Edit with Notepad or any editor the file "com.garmin.android.apps.viago_preferences.xml" and replace "[email protected]" with the email registered in your Android user account.

    4- Copy both files to your cell phone storage. Then with the Android file explorer (in root mode) move them to the folder "/data/data/com.garmin.android.apps.viago/shared_prefs/", overwrite the existing files when asked.

    At this point, viago should start. Then copy the offline map, gmappsupp.img and country_codes_generated.gar to its location on the storage card.

    Afterwards I leave the content of the files, in case the links are broken.

    generic_prefs.xml
    Code:
    Please Login or Register to see the links
    com.garmin.android.apps.viago_preferences.xml
    Code:

    Hello!
    I installed version 4007, it asks to connect to the net, quit the application manager, do a forced shutdown but no shared_prefs folder. Android / data has a different / Garmin / files folder /!
    I'd be interested in describing in detail how and where to download it !?
    Thanks!

    Hi!

    The correct path is: /data/data/com.garmin.android.apps.viago

    and NOT: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.garmin.android.apps.viago

    Therefore you need a rooted phone, or Nox App Player with Helium Backup.

    So you need a rooted phone!
    Could you not somehow install Viago on a non-rooted phone to work offline?

    Confirmed that works on rooted phones. Any possibility to repack with these 2 files modified or clone the installed apk and re install on non rooted phones? thanks

    An alternative is to use the VMOS app. It's a virtual android system that runs on the original android. On the VMOS website you can download a root APK version.

    Viago works only with offline OSM ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) maps. It is not possible to use Viago with any official maps from Garmin. However You can use the latest released OSM Map.

    If you only work with an OSM map, cannot JCV files be used? And the buildings / 3D / Dem files as well?

    I found a way to install Viago on my non-rooted cell phone.
    What I did is backup my "running" Viago to my rooted cell phone via adb, and then restore it to my non-rooted cell phone. And it worked.
    It is important that both phones have the same google account.

    The adb commands would be...
    To make the backup: adb backup -f viago.ab -apk -noshared com.garmin.android.apps.viago
    To restore on the other cell phone: adb restore viago.ab
