MapsV1 can be used on any rooted Android system to replace the Google Maps API v1 with an OpenStreetMap based implementation.

Release builds may be found on the release page.

Android 2.3 - 4.4

Download com.google.android.maps.zip and install it from recovery.

or

Download com.google.android.maps.jar and com.google.android.maps.xml, copy them to /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar, respectively /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml and reboot. The following shell commands will do the job:

adb root && sleep 5 && adb remount
adb push path/to/com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
adb oush path/to/com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
adb reboot

Building

To be build with Android Build System using make com.google.android.maps.

Alternatively use any build system of your choice by creating an appropriate build file (if it's done well i'll add it via pull request).

Dependencies

Heavily depends on osmdroid as well as its dependency slf4j

Building apps against MapsV1

You can build your app against MapsV1 instead of Google Maps. This will allow you to replace Google Maps with osmdroid in an existing app without the need to change a line of code.

As part of a custom ROM

MapsV1 can be build as part of Android when building an Android ROM from source.

Add the repo to your (local) manifest.xml (as well as the dependencies android_external_osmdroid and android_external_slf4j) and extend the PRODUCT_PACKAGES variable with com.google.android.maps and com.google.android.maps.xml.

Attribution

This won't be possible without the hard work of the guys at osmdroid.
