HOW TO UPDATE GOOGLE MAPS:
I saw many pp ask about this and now I will type the guide here:
- Remove old version of Map
- Go to your /data/system
- Take the file "packages.xml" and copy to somewhere (sdcard, pc..etc)
- Open it wit NOtepad++ (on PC - recommend) and search then delete the line: <shared-user name="com.google.android.apps.maps".....>
- Copy the file back to its place and set permission rw-r-r
- Install this new signed version below as normal apk
- Done & Test
Download:
Version 6.12 http://www.mediafire.com/?17l0ayhlyx0fdxo
Version 6.11: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ufwl1bfo6zqx2i/Maps6.11.1_Mod.apk
FAQ:
Q: Why I dont make a patch/update via updater?
A: Becoz it depends on your packages.xml and UserID
Q: Is there any other easy way?
A: I dont know Just found this way and it works for me. If u can find other easy way, pm me and I will update the guide.

I don't have the line you showed. I only have this one;
<shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10007">
Should I delete this one instead?
When installing from market, it says this
"Incompatible with other applications using same shared user ID"
Working great....thanks Leo !!!

lastest official whatsapp from playstore works just fine. it just showed device not supported when u open it directly, but if u create a shortcut or widget of any whatsapp contact or group on homescreen then u can open and use it from there. or open it from fastlane history.
I will give it a try. Thanks.

there seems to be some issue with build.prop for which the official updated whatsapp and fb app does not work.
I found that Baidu cloud rom beta 49, both whatsapp and fb works out of the box, no mod required.
however, stock rom and all other custom rom does not support the official apps.
the problem seems to be within the given part of build.prop file
HTML:
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
.....
.....
# end build properties
If we replace this whole part with a build.probp of a rom which already supports ( Eg: Baidu Beta 49 build.prop) whatsapp and fb...it seems to be working.
Hit thanks if I helped you

Updated versions of Whatsapp show an error message when opened directly. But Whatsapp is still accessible in Nokia X range devices. You may use any of these possible solutions.
1. You may open Whatsapp by accessing fastlane history like mdfzhi directed. This will open the conversations directly.
2. Whatsapp+ works just fine if you follow the below steps.
-> Install Whatsapp
-> Open it through fastlane history and send some whatsapp messages to friends
-> And it is better if u make a message backup
-> Uninstall Whatsapp
-> Install Whatsapp+
3. Changing the build.prop file might fix the problem but it might lead to unwanted issues later. Inorder to change the build.prop you would have to root your phone, which voids warranty. If you are willing to take the risk, it is better advised that you install a custom rom rather than trying to just change the build.prop file.
Considering your problem, I would recommend using the 2nd method by installing whatsapp plus. This might solve your problem.
Solved

Hello everyone,
I want to share my Headset Notifier for any Xperia running on stock MM roms
It shows a notification when your headphone is plugged in.
*Actually this headphone notifier is modded Unsupported Headset Notifier.apk, because Sony disabled the notification when you plug your headphones.
*It should be working on any Xperia MM rom.
Okay, if you want to find the apk, check the attachment of this post and jump to Step 5.
If you want to try to mod it by yourself, here's the guide below:
Here's what we need:
-Notepad++
-Apktool (Version that support Android 6.0 Roms, I use Advanced ApkTool 2.1.1 to work.)
Steps:
1. Decompile your UnsupportedHeadset.apk
2. Go to res/values/ and open bools.xml with notepad++
3. Edit This Line(Change the red one):
<bool name="show_headset_plugin_icon_to_notification">false</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to:
<bool name="show_headset_plugin_icon_to_notification">true</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Save file and recompile and sign it. Done!
5. Install as normal apk or move to system/app/UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier/,and set permission to rw-r-r and then reboot.
*Maybe this mod needs Superuser mod (Patched Services.jar).
Edit:I added Flashable Zip below, flash it in your custom recovery.
Tested on:
-My Xperia Z3 with eXistenZ MM Rom - 23.5.A.1.203
Great find. Thanks for sharing this. Working fine...
what about if i want to add headset icon to the status bar when headset connected ? if you know the steps share with us please.thanks for this mod.

I changed "version code" from "23" to "24" in this apk, maybe that's why you cannot install, try it and tell me if it works...

Don't worry!
I figured it out! How about change the package id?
I think it will not conflict with the original one!
Could install as a separate app, not cover.
Edit: .....But Hmm... after I wrote this post a few minutes, I found a question,
because you installed as a separated one.
It will have two (may conflict the notification showing)...
One makes it show(The one you installed)
And another one will block it down(The System one)
So report me if it shows the notification when you plug in,
If it cause conflict that makes it doesn't shows the notification, I will remove it, because that's useless and bad.
Edit 2: Or if it doesn't work because of conflict, you can try to disable UnsupportedHeadset Notifier in settings and reboot.

Tried another Sony device (rooted), even I removed the original apk and install the modified one, still not showing the notification.....
Tested on my old Z1C 5.1.1 Stock based custom rom with modded apk for 5.1.1 LP
Can u change the text notification?
Can u give me a guide to change notification text from "headset pluged in, unplug them to get speaker sound" to another text? Like "beats sound enabled" or etc?
Cause i can change the headset icon png, but cant change the text one.

Just tried... If you simply extract the two apk from the zip you can install them with no issues at all... (I prefer it from flashing...)
The Contact apk is the same as you can find on Play Store, while the Telephone apk is a (lot) newer version than that available on Play Store... Thanx a lot! :highfive:
EDIT: wrong! No problem with contacts, it can be downloaded and installed from Play Store too... BUT Telephone refused to install on Z while installed fine on another MM I use... I'll investigate more on this issue...

Ok, it's possible to install single apks BUT it's needed to install jar & permissions file (& reboot before...) so, for newbies is probably better to simple flash the zip (that is ok, I've cheched...)
Main difference is that flashing after the apps can't simply be uninstalled but become part of the system since they are put in priv-apps... (ok, they can be freezer or removed by a root file manager anyway...)
I'm using it anyway... small differencies for contacts, a lot more (and interesting...!) for dialer...

There's a modded apk here, somewhere, but the problem becomes the caller id functions don't work as it needs to be signed by Google to use the correct APIs. So unless Google messes up like they did with 2.05_rc4 we'll never have an "simple apk" version.

I saw. Already installed as I said... They need the .jar and .xml of permissions ...
Anyway, the dialer is a *major* upgrade, not only a "cosmetic" one... It is a newer version than the one released with Aosp Nougat 7.1 and beneath there are some newer versions too, it is the newer one working on MM too (the others need at least v. 7.0 to work...)

Nope, it doesn't work with stock android nougat on my moto z xt1650-03, retailmx. After the restart the phone wasn't able to open, not a single app was able to recover my phone app; so I applied my TWRP backup and tried again, same result. So I decided to make it work because I didn't want to delete everything again so, this is what I did:
Make sure to flash the zip, and if you can use your phone anymore, don't panic like me...
1. Erase the app via Titanium Backup pro
2. Restart the phone
3. Go to the file explorer, find the zip of the nougatdialer and extract the dialer apk
4. install it like a normal app and voila!
5. grant permissions if needed.
I think the normal apk should work on nougat.
If not here's the nougat zip:

I think no one else is facing this installing issue except you. You might have modded version of phone app installed in your phone thats why you cant install official version. Uninstall updates of phone app from application manager then try to install official apk
