Is Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair suitable for Polaris ?

I was wondering if the Eclair version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670240 is suitable to be used with Polaris, using the nbh from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660158
It seems like people say good words about this build. Anyone tried it yet ?

Tried it today. I think it's fastest Eclair build for polaris i've tried. After some time of use it becomes almost as fast as donuts.
Anyway there is no wifi and bt. Wifi starts but does'n show any networks. It crashes regulary and reboots. No data with 3G... e.g. no data at all.
Tried with 29-04-2010 kernel (because of ADB support) without any updates.
Will try with paipo's kernel shortly.
UPD: with paipo's kernel it at least tries to scan, and return an error "Unable to scan for networks". With dzo's kernel it didn't scan at all.

Failure! oh dear.
It's not only the build, but the kernel that has to be "shaped" for us.

I tried it but no way for Wifi... Bt works but to use all the days : no for Polaris users
Cheers.

i try this one at the moent but i don"t have any data connection
is this the same by your side ?

good news...
I use it for now with the latest kernel (zImage) of DZO : 29/04/10. I've not tested the latest nbh !
I have BT works (not audio in my car) but not yet Wifi : Incubus26Jc work a lot to include the latest fonctional driver for us
I've not tested GPS.
you can now move up or down the volume for hear sound of the phone and more...
But I can't test data connection because I doesn't have data plan with my operator...
Cheers.

Great news!
With the new nbh files for polaris from dzo, (from 2010-05-07) it works great!
got bluetooth working except for the fact that it breaks connections all the time..
Wifi not working but it seems the whole incubus26jc supereclair version currently has wifi broken!
But I strongly recommend that nbh from dzo
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
the upper files are for polaris!
Good luck everyone!

Have you guys tested the RLS5 ? It is from 8 may
RLS5 Features
- Much Faster System
- Extra Apps and Widgets are Now Optional
- Fixed Full Market (Thanks Pandemic187)
- Fixed Lockscreen Not Showing Up
- Fixed Power off option on red button (Reboot option still not functioning)
- Fixed Kaiser Wifi (Tested)
- Atttempt at fixing Apn Problem
- Fixed Voice Search Crash Problem
- Added More Stable Live Wallpapers To App Pack That work without Crashing on Sleep
The Donut version I've tried seemed very fast for me. The screen responsed much better then the WinMo. But when it was to making something else, opening a program, the browser, market... most of the time I get the screen with not responding to kill the app. How is this new release ? Faster or slower then Donut ?

It doesn't work booting from NAND with the latests .NBH. Does it?

Do you mean that it boots and the interface loads OK, but wifi doesn't start?

No, it boots and then i get a black screen and nothing happens.

After sometime, 3g data connection has been auto-configured without APN entry
whatever, that's a good news since data connection is more reliable than with myn 's last release with latest dzo's kernel
After saying that, that's an eclair build with all it's advantage: better readability even in 120 lcd density and better resolution management, better menu and 3d ability....
I was able to run copilot too with a good gps signal
The main issue (as always with eclair build at the beginning ) is battery lifetime
hope it will go better
Let's have fun !!

Has anyone make wifi work with this build for NAND?
I installed it today and it was really fine, but when I apply the latest wifi/BT, it doesn't boot (the android logo cycles indefinitely).

+1 ... same problem here.

Google Maps can't get lock on GPS after upagrading to CM 7.0.2

Hello,
I upgraded to CM 7.0.2 and can't get lock on GPS when using google maps navigator. I tried using GPS Status and reseting GPS data, using MSL Reader does not work since Inspire is not CDMA which reader seems to work with. GPS Status and GPS Test work at locating GPS satellites.
Did anyone have the same issue and found fix for this?
thanks!

Try search please.

Try being less of a jerk please.
While those scripts do help some, it's not the end all be all fix.

I was in your situation... somewhere along my happy flashing i lost my gps capabilities. I decided on cm7 but still had a broken gps. I flashed that script using cwm and now my gps is perfect, better than any gps from my previous phones. I do suggest downloading gps status after you flash those scripts. It'll download some agps data and hopefully your gps will lock on flawlessly from than on. Good luck.

Thanks guys! Will try using the script.

For the person that said he flashed the script and it worked flawlessly on CM7, which one did you actually flash? South East or North America...
I was in the same position before with CM7 and GPS acting up....did both of those and nothing changed really...
now i just freshly re-rooted my phone after having my parachute savior of going back to ATT STOCK completely...(saved it since i know if all else fails i can always go back and go back to the drawing board)...
I want to carefully chose my roms and also i would like to go back to radio that i originally had...so that's my next step.

GPS Locking

Hi all, is it only me having difficulty locking on GPS? I tried stock, leaked gb, bionix and eagleblood but no lock. It shows 5 or more available sats but it won't lock.
Any help is appreciated.

No, definitely not just you. There's something definitely off about the GPS driver in this phone. If you use an app like GPS Status or GPS Test, you'll see that the signal-to-noise ratios are all lots higher than they should be; whether that has a direct effect on TTFF (time to first fix), I don't know, but it's certainly indicative that the interface isn't right. It's also clear that it's not using the AGPS the way it's supposed to; it should load the ephemeris data and give essentially a hot fix (<15 seconds) every time, but I only get a warm fix (75-120 seconds) if it's been long enough for the ephemeris data from the satellites to have expired (~4 hours) since the last time I used the GPS. It also happens that occasionally I won't get a fix at all, but generally rebooting allows it to get a fix quickly.
I don't know whether it will help or not, but you could try fiddling with some of the GPS system parameters via the hidden menu (dial 1809#*999# and find "GPS Test").
I'm hoping that this is one of the things that will be fixes when we get the Gingerbread/bug-fix update, but I don't have any basis for that hope.

I tried dial 1809#*999# but i get process acore FC.

Other than stock, which would lock super fast for me, I have had the best results with the Ultimate rom. The first lock took about 2-3 minutes but since then it has been fairly quick. Could just be dumb luck though lol.

With mine, the notification icon won't even show. Also, the 1809#*999# still gives me acore FC. Maybe someone else has this issue and can help.

You need to copy hiddenmenu.apk and two others to /system/app! It's there in one of the GPS fix threads on Development section! Search for it!

Thanks.
Looking...
Update: found the one you said but still i cant get the gps icon to come out.

Was talking about the FC when dialing 1809#*999#! That should be fixed once you put the apks in /system/app! From there you can run hiddenmenu -> GPS Test -> Start button and see if that brings up your GPS icon!

This may sound crazy, but download and give "GPS AIDS" (I know dumb name) from the market.
That app (even the free version of it) has helped every phone that I've ever had GPS issues with. The comments for that app speak for itself too.
Give it a try before buying to make sure that it is compatible with your phone first. Best of luck...

The setup always fails for me. The two files it needs to download don't download; the light is red for both and it says the file failed. I'm running CM7 so maybe that's the problem, but it just is not working at all.

Mild Wild 5.0 on HTC Desire

Hi,
Becouse, I'm new I need to post my message here in General forum, sorry for that!
I have problem with my HTC Desire, after I installed Mild Wild 5.0 Stable-Release.
The problem is my GPS, it doesn't work. I don't see the notification icon when I run GPS.
GPS Test and GPS Status doesn't see any satelites and of course, my gps navigation doesn't work. I try to clean cache, dalvik-cache, install AGPS Patch from this forum. Almost every type of this patch... but any thing helps.
Then I try look for some information about blocking GPS in source code,. I found information that only in betas sometimes the GPS is blocked by programmers, in stable releases they never do this, also only couple of people had the same problem, so it could be tricky.
FYI: on my original ROM (from HTC: Android 2.2.2) the GPS was working perfect.
Do you have some ideas what could be a problem?
Thank you.

You can't post in the Dev forum, but you can (and should) post this in the Q&A forum for your device.

This might be a silly question, but have you tried explicitly turning on your GPS and then opening an app like GPS Essentials? I mean this instead of relying on the app to turn it on.

Let me guess - is that is Desire PVT4? (It'll say on the recovery-loader screen.)
I had exactly the same problem: on a PVT4, with MW-CM5 no GPS, with MW v4.3 the GPS is fine.
But on my older Desire PVT1, both versions work fine with the GPS.

GPS not working

I recently flashed Revolt Rom (LOVE IT) with Gapps and everything went well. It takes a little getting use too only because some processes can take a while like on a reboot for example anyway, for whatever reason my gps is not working now. I tried flashing agps patches but they all fail, I tried gps fix, and that did nothing. All of the gps apps on the playstore do nothing to solve my issue. The location cannot get a fix and just keeps flashing if it does get a fix it is for a few minutes and the navigation does not work. If I go to list preview the correct directions are there but the turn by turn will just hang not sure what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

+1, mine used to be good a few months ago. But now, it is driving me crazy.

Wipe data, cache, dalvik and check if google apps are allowed to use gps in location settings.
AGPS patch actually makes my GPS slower as it normally works fast.

Try different roms, try wiping system partition and flash roms. I had this issue too, with and without google apps permission. It was really weird and no one could help me not even Samsung's bs "tech support", they would just tell me "it's a USA phone and it's GPS isn't supposed to work in europe (axxholes!).. What did help me was trying out all of the official touch wiz roms until suddenly an AT&T GB rom "made" it work. Made in quotation marks since I really have no idea of what the issue was or what solved it, since then it's been working flawlessly with all kinds of roms..

As crazy as it sounds that makes the most sense out of everything that i have tried and heard
