Maps Icon missing [fixed]

[DiplPhy]

After the recent update of maps by palm the icon of the app was missing. This was due to a failure in the localizations for this app. The following patch fixes this problem

Might need to have to manually fix the issue. If ya patch, then you're under the old AUPT limitation/bug which will delete the files on patch uninstall, crippling the Maps app. And unlike regular 3rd party app patches, you can't just redownload the app from the App Catalog.


All that said, huge props on discovering the cause/solution to the issue

Oh didn't know that I just deleted the patch so far!

Sorry about the confusion. I thought it is very simple to patch away this problem. But a limitation with the AUPT Scripts eats the files by removing the Patch. So there is only the way to do it maually.

There are two ways of success both using Internalz Pro (not Internals from App Catalog you need the Pro version). Both methods are possible and will guide you to success. Only use one of the methods, NOT both:

Preparation for both methods :

Start Internalz Pro
tap on the menu (upper left corner) and select Preferences
scroll to the bottom of the screen
make sure master mode is on
leave preferences with back swipe
open the directory
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.maps/

1st method: copy icon.png

copy the icon.png file from
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.maps
to
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.maps/resources/de_de

here you have to change de_de in to your country localization folder (UK en_gb, F fr_fr...)

2nd method: change appinfo.json

open the directory
/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.maps/de_de

here you have to change de_de in to your country localization folder (UK en_gb, F fr_fr...)

open the appinfo.json file with Internalz Pro
change the entry

"icon:": "icon.png",

to

"icon:": "../../icon.png",

tap on the menu (upper left corner)
select save file
back swipe to leave file editor


Post processing for both methods:

change master mode again to off in preferences
tap on the menu
select restart
restart Luna

after Luna has restarted your icon will appear.
