im not able to run, facebook, market, or maps, using the update.zip method. they all force close before opening, im running 2.1, is there a way you can do it so that method doesnt include the new versions? b/c for some reason they wont work...
i tried rebooting and it didnt work still... also i probably skipped something on the first post, but launcher pro is including with the update.zip as well?
Yes, Launcher Pro is included in the 1.9 Update.zip
Due to the fact that updates of those apps were installed from the Market with a different name and location, it is vital to uninstall the updates completely to eliminate the issues you are having.
First off, download the Back to Stock Update.zip from Post #1, put it on the root of the SDcard and rename it to update.zip
Then turn on airplane mode, leave it off until you reboot from applying the 2nd update.zip (apply the back to stock first, then later the 1.9 update.zip, but follow the instructions below ).
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications> Manage Applications and look for each of those updates (Faceboo, Maps, Market) Uninstall them one by leaving the Market update for last, then uninstall it.
Now reboot into recovery and apply the stock update.zip.
After the reboot check your Facebook and Maps apps and see if they are OK. Don't worry about the Market app, IF you left airplabe mode on it won't work anyway without a wireless connection).
Once again go to Menu>Settings>applications>Manage applications and double check there are not "ghost" installations of the 3 apps, this can happen sometime. If you find anything like com.facebook.katana, com.android.vending, com.google.maps or something simlilar uninstall them too.
Once that is done reboot into recovery and apply the 1.9 Update.zip (don't forget to delete the first stock update.zip from before) you wil need to put this on the root of the SDcard renamed as update.zip also.
After you reboot this time you should have cleared out all the old Market updates of those apps. If you continue to have problems send me a PM and I will help you farther.
