Thread: Streetpilot v2.36/v2.37 app release for Android 4.2.2 and later

yet another success.


ALPS X8 "Land Rover" rugged phone (water-, shock- and dustproof for adventures in nature)
* MTK6592, GPU Mali-450 MP, 720*1280
* rooted
* Android 4.4.2
* /Storage/sdcard0
* StreetPilot_2.37pi_sdcard0_signed.apk

I did have a bit adventure with these installations into two alike phones, 1:st one just like the method in "1:st post" here guides;

1:st time opening SP I got the 'black screen', needed to kill SP (blue triangle notification kept hanging on)
2:nd time opened OK, SP asked setup stuff a.s.o. Worked OK after that!


2:nd phone I installed a bit different from "1st post":

1. copied all
/Storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.garmin.android.apps.gmobilext/files/Garmin -stuff to sdcard0

2. copied map, voice, text, vehicle, keyboards, POI, themes and all previous stuff too, to folder
/Storage/sdcard0/Garmin
including 'real' items like maps, voices, vehicles a.s.o to pick from in starting-setups and setups in SP.
this way I got also timezone and worldclock working properly.

3. installed StreetPilot_2.37pi_sdcard0_signed.apk
after install I hit 'done', not 'run'.

then, finally opened SP from icon:

1:st time:
began to start and initiate, then got 'SP has stopped', but I just waited a few secs more to see what happens,
SP kept still 'loading/working', waited some more, and finally pushed 'OK' for this 'stopped thing',

and SP opened OK, and wanted GPS on, setups, a.s.o. -- Worked OK!

2:nd time:
SP asked basic setups again, but next times after that SP has remembered all things.

/Storage/sdcard0/Garmin
seems to be the main folder for me to get things working in SP!
so, very very nice and smooth, great!


some additional notes still, as SP basicly works and navigates, guides and talks nicely:

++ both INT- and SD-installation are good
(moved to 'SD' with LP; this 'SD' is part of '32GB phone memory', not a movable 'real SDcard')

++ normal garmin (zumo) CNE and TOPO maps with any file names work
(no more zumo550 filename hassel); useful in off-road bikers use, too.

++ address search (city, street + number, postal code a.s.o.) works perfect when CNE map is placed as gmapprom.img in .system folder instead of map folder; fuels, shops a.s.o. finds when GPS has got your place... swiftkey helps typing, but normal keys searches immediately...

++ vehicles, text and voices in my language work, even notepad-edited text files
(I did some translation adjustments for not-too-great-translated originals,
and even replaced that annoying start 'warning text' with my favorite song lyrics...)


-- Safetycamera-POIs are placed in SD and 'checked' by SP-setup, but don't seem to appear/alarm in traffic use (?)
..... ookey, did some more reading, so cyclops not working, but SCDB SpeedCams do work:

EDIT:

I managed to install same 2:nd way as above,
StreetPilot_2.37pi_800x480_storage_sdcard0_signed.apk

to my old faitful "Land Rover", ALPS A8 MTK6572, GPU Mali-400 MP, 480*800, rooted, Android 4.2.2,
it is working great, too.

cheers!
