How to install on Gingerbread w/o downgrading: (Requires an AVD)
So, after screwing up my system when I tried to apply the modified libmedia.so on my Legend(CM7 nightly 37), I had to reinstall everything from contacts to application(took me the whole night ), I decided to fix this problem..
Since I had already put down a lot of work in this I couldn't give up(Something wrong in my head, can't give up sometimes).
I got an idea of using an emulator to get Froyo. And then I came up with the idea of changing it's IMEI-numer to my phone's.
And what do you know, I found a guide to do it.
Then I followed all the steps but with my AVD instead. Had to combine both AVD and Phone.
But it was a piece of cake.

Anyway: It works on my HTC Legend now. Since it was 6 months ago I installed Eclipse and AVD I can't do a guide for it.
Just google it and you'll find out how.

This is a pretty EASY but time consuming task. Took me a good 2 hours. But totally worth it. It's a great app.

WHAT YOU NEED:
Navigon EU pack: http://adf.ly/9l8i (Thanks to nivong, first post )
Android SDK and AVD manager ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )

INSTRUCTIONS
AVD
1. Get Android SDK from url above.( android-sdk_r10-windows.zip.)
2. Unzip to C:\android-sdk-windows
3. Double click on SDK Manager.exe
4. A popup will ask you what you like to install. I don't really know exactly what you need, but you can uncheck everything besides "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 3" and "SDK Platform Android 2.2 API 8". Click install.
5. Go to Virtual Devicec and make a new one. At lest 2000MB and API 8 from Drop down lost.(This might take a while, it will look like it's froozen, but just let i be untill done.)
6. Start the device you've just made. (Might also take a while first time)

INSTALL
1. Change IMEI in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\emulator.exe to you phone's IMEI
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4402 ... d-emulator

2. Open up CMD and type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Then you can do your adb stuff.

3. Install Navigon(2.6.1 cracked) with adb install

4. Run it, until it asks for maps, quit navigon

5. Get the version.xml by using adb pull /sdcard/Navigon/version.xml

7. Install Navigon Fresh on you PC

8. Creat a new account in Navigon(IMPORTANT!)

9. Download any map(small is better, speeds up the process)

10. Run Navigon 2.6.1 on you AVD. Close on menu.

11. Install a filemanager on you AVD

12. Find the folder called, "Navigon" delete everthing in this folder EXCEPT the version.xml file

13: Pull version.xml and edit it with notepad. Change from this:

<build></build>
<brand>NAVIGON_EU</brand>
<platform>MN7_ANDROID_TRIAL</platform>

14: Save the file and close notepad

15: Push the file to your AVD, same place as before

16. Uninstall 2.6.1 on you AVD (Due to insufficient space )

17. Mount you real SD-card on you PC (With phone or adapter)

17. Now make a new account in Navigon fresh(IMPORTANT!) and download the maps and stuff what you want.

18. Install 3.5.0 on you device.

19. Push the files from your real SD-card to you AVD. Same location! (Example: copy Navigon folder from real SDcard to the folder where your adb is. And use: adb push Navigon /sdcard/Navigon/. This will take a while.

20. Run Navigon 3.5.0 on you AVD. Exit after menu.

21. Pull Navigon/data, version.xml and updates.xml from you AVD and put on you real SD-card. Replace all files if asked.

22. Install Navigon Select 3.5.4 from market and start.

23. Enjoy Navigon on Gingerbread without downgrade.

Use this at you own risk. It's a bit tricky. But when you like a good challange it's easy.
Some of the steps might be unnecessary. I just didn't wanna do it twice, so I did it carefully.
If anyone has a better solution. Please feel free to refine it.

Can you please explain some steps better?
I'm stuck at AVD navigon 2.6.1 when asks for download additional stuff. After that asks to connect via PC or WLAN. I quit in this screen and install navigon fresh etc, but when trying to open navigon on AVD again, it opens in PC/WLAN screen and I cannot bypass, cause cannot connect via USB or WLAN.
Something I didn't do right there, so can you please analyze it more?
Thanks

You have to download the stuff with navigon fresh. You just need short start navigon at your AVD and close it again at menu. its only for the prog to write something in the file "version.xml"

This is an edited version of the installation guide by Svenne (by Glenne). Written from memory so it might contain errors, but you should get the differences from the original.

Here we go:

Extra devices needed:
One USB memory with around 400 MB free space, don't have to be empty.
This device will be referred as USB:\ in the instructions below.

Install on PC:
Android SDK, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Download to PC:
Navigon EU pack: http://adf.ly/9l8i
Unpack the downloaded file somewhere on your PC.

1. Create a new AVD (Android Virtual Device), name whatever you want, use API8, disksize 2000MB, start it to see if it is booting up. Shutdown when comfirmed.

2. Change the emulators IMEI to the same as your physical Android device (Instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4402262/device-identifier-of-android-emulator).

3. Start up the AVD and confirm that the IMEI is the same as your physical Android device. Settings -> About phone -> Status -> IMEI

4. Install "Navigon.2.6.1.NewCrack.apk" on your AVD via adb: "adb install path\to\Navigon.2.6.1.NewCrack.apk".

5. On your AVD, run Navigon and comfirm all popup boxes until you get to the screen which asks you to choose download method. Exit Navigon here.

6. Insert the USB memory and create the folder "USB:\Navigon"

7. Navigon created some files on your AVD, grab "/sdcard/Navigon/version.xml" via adb to "USB:\Navigon": "adb pull /sdcard/Navigon/version.xml USB:\Navigon\version.xml"

8. Install Navigon Fresh on your PC, it is available in the pack you downloaded and unpacked earlier.

9. Create a new account, this one will not be used on your physical Android device later, it will not be used when the installation is done.

10. Download any small maps (like Andorra, bigger maps will be downloaded later). Navigon Fresh will install them to your USB-device, not the AVD or your physical Android device.

11. Copy "USB:\Navigon" to your AVD via adb: "adb push USB:\Navigon /sdcard/Navigon"

12. Run Navigon on your AVD, it should load up as expected to the main Navigon menu. Close Navigon.

13. Pull "/sdcard/Navigon/version.xml" to any folder on your PC: "adb pull /sdcard/Navigon/version.xml"

14. Edit the downloaded version.xml:

Original example (imei/id/productid will differ in your file):

<config>
<software>
<version>2.6.1</version>
<build></build>
<brand>NAVIGON_EU</brand>
<platform>MN7_ANDROID_TRIAL</platform>
<productprefix>A7</productprefix>
<copyright>Navigon AG, Copyright (C) 2010</copyright>
<imei>1234567890</imei>
<id>0987654321</id>
<productid>A71029384756</productid>
</software>
</config>

Edit like this:

<config>
<software>
<version>3.5.0</version>
<build></build>
<brand>NAVIGON_EU</brand>
<platform>MN7_ANDROID_SELECT</platform>
<productprefix>AS</productprefix>
<copyright>Navigon AG, Copyright (C) 2010</copyright>
<imei>1234567890</imei>
<id>1234567890</id>
<productid>AS1029384756</productid>
</software>
</config>

Note: Replace ID value with your IMEI

15: Push the file back to the AVD, replacing the one already present. "adb push version.xml /sdcard/Navigon/version.xml"

16: Remove your USB-device and mount your physical Android device as a USB device instead. It will be referred to as "ANDROID:\"

17: Create the folder "ANDROID:\Navigon"

18: Drag-and-drop version.xml from step 14 to your physical Android device ("ANDROID:\Navigon\version.xml").

19: Make a new account in Navigon Fresh, which will be used to update your physical Android device, download the maps as in step 10. This time it will be downloaded to your physical Android device.

20: Disable USB-debugging on the AVD (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging).

21: Install Navigon3.5.apk on your physical Android device using adb: "adb install Navigon3.5.apk". Don't run it, just install.

22: Disable USB-debugging on your physical Android device, and enable it on your AVD.

23: Push "ANDROID:\Navigon" to your AVD, replacing all files on it: "adb push ANDROID:\Navigon /sdcard/Navigon".

24: Run Navigon on your AVD, it should boot up to the main Navigon menu. Exit Navigon.

25: Pull everything (except the sounds-folder if you want to save time) from your AVD to your physical android device. Replace all files. "adb pull /sdcard/Navigon ANDROID:\Navigon".

26: On your physical Android device, install "MobileNavigator select" from the market and start it.

27: Installation now completed on your physical device. Use Navigon Fresh to install the maps you want as in step 10. Don't forget to USB mount the physical Android device first.

Hi all,

I've successfully installed Navigon 3.5.4 EU on my Froyo device but I am wondering if I can load US maps either ?
What if I install the the US navigon.apk, will it overwrite the european version ?

Seriously, are there noone who can tell me how to get navigation in 3D on Navigon?
Is it possible?

Start Navigon press the Menu button,select options the second entry in list should be the one for 3D navigation

For install Navigon EU on Gingerbread can use US version cNavigon3.5.4.apk
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=738&t=174289&start=8#
on create version.xml and no need version 2.6.1 or emulator to Froyo.

EU finally working in Gingerbread/2.3! I was getting the "not available for your carrier or device" error until I deleted the directory AND went into Applications and Clear Data. Then it sprung into life.

I used the tip posted earlier about installing the US version to get the correct XML file and then editing it correctly.

Could you please post detailed instructions on what you've done to make it work?

I'll try to remember, but I was tired and enjoying beer at the time.

[*] Install and run the US 3.5.4 version from here http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=751934#751934
[*] Copy the Settings.XML file that is created in the SDCARD's Navigon folder. Edit it using this post http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=679122#679122 as a guide - the version number is 3.5.4 obviously!
[*] Install and run EU 3.5.4 from here http://www.4shared.com/file/EirS5Cag/cNavigon354.html Don't worry if it complains about not being available in your area or device.
[*] On your PC, install Navigon Fresh and register WITH A NEW USER NAME. Connect your Android device via USB so Fresh can see it. Install anything onto it, such as a map update or safety cameras. Then unmount.

This is where it gets sketchy for me. It simply refused to work, then I read somewhere that they deleted the Navigon directory (backing up the XML first) and then it ran. I did do this, but I also did a Clear Data in Applications as well. Then, bingo, it all started working. Double-check you have edited the Settings.XML file correctly as well. This was a cause of some of my early problems.

The US version was not touched at all during this time. I think this might have helped, but can't be sure.

The Clear Data option also helped me start downloading maps for the US version. It was stalling all the time.

I basically cobbled together pieces across forums and spent about 3 hours trying to get it all to work. I'm glad it does now! Hope I have helped.

Thought I was getting someone, but I'm not. The software does run but I've only got maps for Germany!

Next question - where do I get Android compatible maps and how do I install them?

Could you please post detailed instructions on what you've done to make it work?

Why should I copy the Settings.xml file? And to where should I copy it?

Hello there.. Im a user from Denmark and i cant get it working..

Could someone help me, making a APK with EU maps and so on...ready to install??

[todd3835]

Because the information varies between US and EU, I'm changing this thread title to EU. There is a separate US thread already. Please keep this thread clean of US info. Thanks!
