    Hey guys,

    Tried following the instructions to patch the latest Uber apk, and Cobalt's patch script is unable to rebuild the Uber apk after completing about 2-3 minutes of other successful steps. Anyone have any luck?
    Make sure you aren't on the latest version of Google Maps...you need the older one that plays nice with Google Play...I hope that helps.

    If the apk can't be rebuilt, you should use option [r] to avoid decompilation of resources.

    I have an app from Google Play (docbookmd) that successfully patched, per the 2.6 tool. When I start the app, it allows log in and loads, but stops and says "the app does not run on rooted Android systems" and in an orderly fashion, removes any data created (it tells me so) and closes. Any ideas on why?

    I wanted to let Cobalt232 know that I was able to get the google play services depedent Beat the Traffic.apk working with patcher v2.6. I have been using this app for 2 days on my commute to work & it works well.

    Is WinRar required or can I modify the .bat file to use 7zip which I already have installed (and prefer over WinRar)?

    Thanks!

    No, Use the default text editor in windows to edit it or any other text editor.

    Answered my own question: yes! I changed references to "winrar" to "7z" and made sure the initial PATH statement points to my 7-zip folder. Apparently the command line switches are the same for both apps.

    Edit: didn't see dustmalik's post before I responded to myself.

    Good to know. I googled it just a few minutes ago and also saw that the options to extract files are the same (option e).

    Maybe you should try to patch a file with DSA to see if the errorhandling works correctly.

    I'd be happy to try one. Can you suggest an app?

    Also, I sat down to figure out this script to see if I could fix the missing maps in miCoach. Unpatched, all that showed up was the start and end markers. After applying api V1 patch, it now shows the route as well. But still no map tiles. Am I missing something?

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it worked for you. Have fun with your apps and keep posting your findings.

    I'll look into it right now...

    Works for me. Patched with v2.6. Detected API v1. Did you try to move the map?

    I had tried to move and zoom the map and got nothing. Your version works just fine on my phone - thanks! Wonder what I did wrong with the script. I tried it both in auto mode and API v1 and neither worked.

    Maybe it's the script. I'm constantly improving it, and some minor changes that I've made to it may provide better results than original v2.6. Will post new version soon.

    Not necessarily. I went and ran it again and paid attention this time. There was an error:

    Well that's clearly an error with openssl

    I didn't install openssl - just went with the included version aand left that section of PATH untouched. I'm running the script in a folder on C: so no crazy directory structures to deal with.

    I suggest that you modify the path in the script, it looks like it is not really pointing into the correct folder. Even better would be to download openssl and install it on your machine. The installation routine will set some variables in the OS and you will never have any trouble with it anymore.

    I modified the path to:
    Code:
    :: Configure Openssl (x86 version provided, you can change it).
    IF NOT DEFINED OPENSSL_HOME (SET OPENSSL_HOME="C:\gmaps-apk-patcher-v2.6\openssl-win32\")
    IF NOT DEFINED OPENSSL_CONF (SET OPENSSL_CONF=%OPENSSL_HOME%\openssl.cfg)
    but still getting same error. I downloaded OpenSSL source files (.tar.gz) but haven't the faintest idea how to install on Win7-64b...

    You should try to open a CMD Shell and then run the script from there instead of running it directly from file explorer.

    You will then see the error that causes the script to exit. Most likely you have a problem with Java path.

    Posted via CB10
    Hi Cobalt, I do have a problem with java but I'm not sure if it is the path. The error returned is "\java\jre7"" was unexpected at this time.". I don't have any experience doing this sort of thing on computers. I checked the java path of the batch file and it appears as though they point to the right spot. In both 64/32 bit locations I have the jre7 folder.

    I also get a message upon launch that says "'chgcolor.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". This is displayed at each stup up to selecting "p" to autodetect patch upon which the program closes with the java error.

    Once everything is patched will I need to have google services installed on the phone?

    It looks like you downloaded the Linux/Unix Version of OpenSSL

    Here are the correct downloadlinks for Windows OpenSSL

    OpenSSL for 32 Bit OS

    Thanks for the links! I installed the 32bit version after first installing the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable. I copied the openssl.cnf that was included with the apk-patcher into the C:\openssl-32bit directory and updated the patch.bat path reference. But I'm still getting the same error. Further suggestions?

    EDIT: I might have to get a new APIv2 Key ugh >.>
    EDIT2: Still can't get it to work after patching even both APIv1 and 2. The app works alright, its the map that just doesn't work, which is the core of the app.

    Wow! Great to see how this tool evolved

    Tried myself to patch runkeeper and seems ok (very slow though). I have used v2.2 of the patcher (time constrains, I''m sure latest version is much improved) and opened runkeeper twice to get it display the map. Weird..
    Anyway, here are the links for the files used:
