Since my second upgrade today, I cannot make Locus Pro save settings.

Here is what I did:

1. Some days ago, I upgraded to 1.5.2 without reading the notice. Some maps went missing.
2. Yesterday, I uninstalled 1.5.2 and restored 1.5.1 from backup via ADB.
3. This worked for awhile, until I suddenly got a "Your application isn't licensed" error.
4. Subsequently, I installed a custom provider.xml and upgraded to 1.5.2 from the market.
5. The "Your app isn't licensed" error disappeared, but Locus pro doesn't save any settings now.
6. Uninstalling and reinstalling or downgrading the app doesn't fix the problem.

Every time I restart it, I get the "Basic info" screen, the app starts with the default settings, and I have to redo all my preferences (e.g. full screen, tracking distances, GPS preferences, etc.) by hand. I assume this is a permissions problem resulting from the multiple installs/uninstalls - any ideas where to start looking to fix it?

Thanks,

And, in other news, someone has posted several working examples of providers on the xda developers forum! Using them you can even run your own map server that work very well with 1.5.2. The examples are a great learning tool indeed

Thanks! I'll dab into it tomorrow. Damned providers. I agree, at the moment a UI isn't a big deal, uploading a file with ADB is a nobrainer. femto, thanks for the map URL tips.

Please! Thanks.

Ok, so can the stupid among us get a little bit more information?

E.g. where do the map provider files go? Locus/mapsOnline/... seems to contain only sqldb files on my phone. Do I dump my map definition xml there as well? What should be the name of the file? Can we see some working examples of other providers, just so we get a hand on how to write those? Maybe a kind soul can extract a config or two from an older distribution than 1.5.1 and dump it on a pastebin somewhere so that we can learn?

What a pity that such a great application has to suffer, and that we - the happy customers - should be left to suffer with junk like the default android map application.  :x
