    Looks like a problem with your java path, so therefore APKTOOL can't be run. Did you manually ajust the path in the script? What did you enter?

    What you also can try:

    • Open DOS window
    • Go to folder GMAPS-APK-PATCHER-v2.3\wbin
    • run apktool.bat

    Does the help window of apktool show up or do you get an error?

    When I downloaded Java I set the path to SET JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\" since that was the install destination. Then I tried changing it to what you had in () in the read me text. Keep in mind, Im not a programmer I have been trying on my own to get this working for a few hours before posting. It's fun to try on my own, but Im out of ideas.
    I did get the help window of apktool to show up following your list in the previous post.

    The patch works great. I tried to patch Flightradar 24 Premium and it did it. But when I try to install the apps to my blackberry via BB10 app manager, i always get the same message:

    • Install com.google.android.gms.apk: failure 500 'Package-Id'
    • Install app.apk: failure 500 'Package-Id'


    I can't figure out what it means
    what can I do to make it work? Thank you very much

    Open script and change following lines:

    Code:
    @REM Configure JAVA_HOME.
    @REM IF NOT DEFINED JAVA_HOME (SET JAVA_HOME=C:\devel\jdk1.7.0_45)
    SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin
    Note that there are not quotes "" and the path Points to the bin Folder.

    And just to be sure: Do the names of your APK contain blanks? If yes, it will not work. In that case you will have to rename them.

    APK-Files can not be sideloaded (failure 500)

    If you have Blackberry OS 10.2.1.1055 and higher: Copy the APK to your SD Card on the device and then install it from the device
    If you have Blackberry OS lower than above, then you must first convert the APK-File to a BAR and then sideload Check the Forum for instructions.

    Anyway I suggest to upgrade your device to 10.2.1.1925 as this will be the next launched release.

    The problem is the path where the scrip is

    C:\users\jeff syd\..... -> there is a blank between jeff and syd

    Rename the folder to jeff_syd, that should fix it.

    BTW: I fixed this in the script, will provide a download soon. Waiting for more bugs

    Can patch Youtube, but you will get "Network error" when running it. We can't fix Google Apps. Sorry for that!

    To remove Ads:

    • Run patcher
    • Select option a (remove ads)
    • Select p to patch (autopatch)
    • If a ads folder is found, it will ask to remove it. Anwer yes
    • you can ignore the message about the file beeing obfuscated and the following error messages. it just informs you, that there are no Google Play Services to patch

    then it says AD removed then the previous error comes up which i mentioned before
    and there is no apk in output folders

    am i doing something wrong ?

    I guess I know the problem. The patcher looks if there is any Google stuff to patch. On it's way it tries to remove the ads. If no Google stuff is found, the file is discarded and not recompiled. I believe that is what happens here.

    Can you provide the APK you are trying to patch?

    Ok, fixed some stuff, especially the patching of Ads in apps that don't have any Google dependencies. Thanks hakimmmmm for the feedback

    Download v2.3.1 here

    I looked into the smali code. There are no google play dependencies. Therefore there is nothing to patch.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    As moneytoo already pointed out, most Google Apps i.e. Google Drive or Google+ will not work correctly. But the patcher works for removing Google Maps v1/v2 and Google Play dependencies in all other Android apps. I finalized v2.3 and included an option to remove ads. Hope it works for you.

    GMAPS APK PATCHER is able to remove the following dependencies from an APK-file:

    • Google Maps API V1 (use if maps look weird)
    • Google Maps API V2 same as above
    • Google Play Services (use if app tells you, that you Need Google Play Services)
    • Google Advertising (removes Google ADS Folder, may crash on some apps)

    Download GMAPS APK PATCHER v2.3.1

    Amazing utility, Thank you!!

    I'm trying to get MyTracks to work:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....maps.mytracks

    Your utility "automatically" ran through it's process successfully. I installed the app and there is a message about Google play not being supported by my device as well as when I start to records (guess attempting to lock GPS) it "unfortuneatley stopped..."

    Any thoughts?
