I created a well-received and ever-growing solution to GPS issues for the Inspire 4G and the DesireHD. POSSIBLY, it will be available for the Sensation in the near future. One user has used it and has had great success.
I'm wanting to determine if it works well with this device.
I believe it will and should work well with almost any Android devices. But, I don't have them to test from.
If anyone is willing to test, you can download the patch and read notes and details on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250226 thread.
It would require backing up your existing configuration and flashing a ZIP using Clockwork Recovery. The only thing the patch does is REPLACE your GPS.CONF with a properly built one.
This can be a useful patch for anyone using custom ROMs.
Respond here to tests and successes!!!
THANK YOU!

I'll take a stab at it. I have a custom one running as well from another thread where I get 8 sats locking on eventually.
Sounds good. Got the two devices I can easily support/test doing quite well. I'd just like to share this with as many as I can, but without a device it's hard to know who would benefit.
Initial flash made my phone bork lol. It wouldn't boot up. Did a adb reboot and a system error window showed up.
Tried the 2nd time and booted up fine. Weird. I guess next time I'll just push the gps.conf. .
Ok I'll report back on the locks tomorrow. I'll test out the gps locks tonight before bed.

That is extremely weird. How did you flash it?

Via recovery using the latest CWM of course . Using Coredroid 2.4 rom using the Faux123 kernel: 1.4 1.58nohtz.
And to update, I rebooted once more to see if I could replicate that error upon reboot. And did unfortunately.
Now I am going to try to just revert to my old nandroid and just push the gps.conf file and report back.
I go into recovery,
I always wipe cache partition and dalvik partition
mount system
flash nagps1.2.zip
reboot
And twice so far I have gotten a boot error message. Looks like a sense issue. Because it offers to force close or wait. I press force close and the screen goes blank but the screen is still "on". Just a blank black screen with the backlight on. Even pressing the power button only turns off the screen and then on again if I hit the power button the second time.
The only annoyance with this is that I have to redo my bootani now lol....
EDIT: Pushing the gps.conf file worked instead of flashing. GPS locked instantly. I was getting about 8-9 sats locking in from the bedroom window. Not too shabby!
I have attached the gps.conf file. Just unzip the rar, and adb push the gps.conf file to /system/etc, reboot and enjoy.

Some questions:
If use your worldwide file on my rooted sensation, can I just copy the gps.conf to rewrite the original one at the system folder? Or I should do a Recovery flash but does the file update-binary and updater-script compatible with sensation (andriod 2.3.4. sense 3.0)?

The boot issue is from the nohz kernel. I've had it happen quite a few times and so have others.

So you flashed it fine with CRW? Or, are you just copying it over? You can just copy it over. My ZIP's updater script only copies the gps.conf over; it does nothing else. It's easiest for people to have a flashable ZIP.
Do you know how to get around the problem with the NOHZ kernel? That way people could flash it?
I'd like to find a suitable way to supply this to users and start doing a Sensation release.

If you have a chance, try a different kernel possibly and see if soma's point is correct?
How was your GPS working prior to flashing this?
If we can get a reliable method for installation, I think I can start supporting an aGPS option for Sensation.

I want to say soma is correct with regards to the kernel. Prior to pushing your file over, my gps was fast, but wasn't as fast as yours. Meaning its a matter of seconds really. Whereas I run gps fix and now I got a fix before the map loads up, which never happened in the past.
As for trying it with a different kernel, I'll do that later maybe after work if my 3 yr old stops "helping" me on my netbook lol.
As for a faster and more reliable way of installing your gps.conf, IMO is to just simply push the file to the /system/etc folder. But I know a lot of people are wary of adb commands and much rather flash and forget it, but I think trying out adb commands are worth the practice and with this it's easy peasy to push it over via adb. As for a simple flash, well I guess if they are on a stock kernel they can try to flash it once you mount your system under recovery. Or when flashing a new rom or update, they can revert and flash a stock kernel first, flash your zip file and reboot, but seems like a bit more work than just pushing the gps.conf file.
With either extracting your gps.conf or mine stripped down with your info, here's a basic adb/shell command thread to help people on their way if they choose to.

Make a backup of your current gps.conf from your phone under /system/etc so you can revert back to that file if this one doesn't work for you.
As for installation, just push that file over or even use root explorer.
EDIT 2. From work (office window with view of sky), I tried to get a lock but it did not lock even though gps test saw the sats. Ever since flashing roms, I think wifi has a conflicting issue when trying to get a gps lock. I then turned off wifi, let the phone sit for a minute to let it get the 4g up and going and then tried the gps test again. I then got 8 sats and then opened up gps fix to see how fast I could get a fix and like before, the gps locked my location before it fully loaded up. Pretty cool IMO. LOL
And after the lock, I can go ahead and turn wifi on again and it no longer conflicts with the gps lock issue. Weird work around, but that's how I have been able to get gps locking to work.

I think I know how to resolve that wifi issue. I can give you the test version of 1.3.
If v1.3 works fine AND if you can help me draft instructions on specifically installing on your device, I can post the full-support thread.
Are you up for this? If so, please draft and message me instructions. And, I'll send you the test version of 1.3 for your flashing pleasure.
Well ..didn't seem to do any good for me ... stock rom .. rooted.
There has to be a way to allow it to position based on less satellites .... damn it.

All: try these two patches individually instead: http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/worldwide1.2-t.zip and http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/worldwide1.2-tn.zip
If one doesn't work well, try the other. This solved a problem with some Tunisia users. It has to do with GPS and Wifi conflicts when the phone has an older GPS unit built in.

Dear crypted,
Your configure script works on HTC sensation. Thanks! Great work! Got a lock in 10 seconds. before it is really difficult and take ages to get a lock.
Did not flash it just change the file property "readonly" with RE. Copy and overwrite.
I am sorry I do not understand what is an NOHZ kernel. I am a noob.
By the way I am using a modded ROM of LeeDroid 3.1.0. S-OFF, Revolution recovery 5.0.2.0. Thus ROOTED. Now every program use GPS-sat get a quick lock within 10 seconds. You shall promote your script to every ROM-devs. I highly recommand your script!
Yeah ... if you could just post the gps.conf file ... I find that much easier to add using file explorer rather than flashing the .zip.
Thanks.

Okay. If y'all could private message instructions on how to copy the GPS configuration over to the /system/etc folder, I would appreciate it.
I have one set of instructions sent to me thus far. I'd just want to make sure we have all of the various methods ready to post when I release the Sensation version.
Faux kernel no go for me so I am trying another. The bricked 0.5ver. Flashing now and will report back.
EDIT:Back in the office. Flashed the bricked 0.5 v kernel and then flashed the test 1.3 gps script.
Got about 5 sats in use and in view using GPS test and locked it with 10 seconds. Not as fast as 1.2 but still quick. Maybe because it's looking at the worldwide servers before seeing where I am? I was using 1.2 US gps script.

Just download whichever file you want to use and extract the zip under system/etc and then push the gps.conf over via adb or root explorer.
I'm surprised at there being a decrease in v1.3. Possibly a placebo effect. Hmmm.

Hi.. when i plug it in it does say usb connected, but when I scroll down and hit "connect" and nothing happens..
I was thinking of only overclocking to around 1.78 or so.. I have installed the usb drivers from Samsung...
I will try some other things you mentioned..

Is the Dolphin Browser easier to use? ... If so.. Im all for that!
In my oppinion yes. Its very easy. Its free on the market i use it for all my web browsing works like a pc web browser. Im on here on my phone now. I download all my files with the phone so i dont have to transfer between my pc and phone. If u download dolphin get on xda u can just download the overclock kernel right to it. In dolphin if u push menu dolphin settings data storage settings u can choose anywhere u want dolphin too save your files.

Do I go to rom manager , next.. How do I get it to my sd card?
Thank you for all your help!!!
Open dolphin push menu then more then settings then data storage settings then download directory and change it too /sdcard/external_sd then go to xda on your phone and download the overclock kernel it wll download it to your sd card then turn off you phone and then hold volume up and volume down buttons and push the power button the release the power button it will boot into cwm recovery. Wipe your cache then choose install zip from sd card choose the overclock kernel you downloaded and flash it then select reboot system now
Well heck.... Dolphine browser is awesome, but it won't let me change the file name to /sdcard/external_sd? I'm a Powerlifter.. I have squatted 900lbs but this is killing me!..lol..
Okay.. changed the name.. went into recovery and found " install zip for sd card"
got that,.. now that next screen did not have.. "install zip from internal sd card" anywhere on the list?...
I don't think it downloaded...lol

I downloaded it many times.. changed the name of the file on Dolphin.. go into reboot and i navigate to install zip from sdcard" then go down to zip from internal sdcard and it has everything but that file in the list...
Does it automatically send it to the sdcard from once I download from Dolphin, or do I have to do it myself? ( manual)??
Yeah like i said if u open dolphin browser and click menu then more then settings and click download directory and change it too what i said it makes that the location it downloads all your fikes too. Andbit stays that way
.. if i was you id download astro file manager from the market its free open it and look around for the file when u see it click on it itll tell you the location it was saved too. Then just click on it and click copy and you can move the file by pasting it where ever you want. Im really not sure why ur not finding it. But if you have yahoo messenger i can get on there and talk u throught it easier if u need it.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------
To adjust your cpu clock. Download the app called setcpu on the market open it and it allows you to change the min and max speed to over clock just change the max to higher then what it is. When you first open it click autodetect speed. Thenbyou can manually make it higher. A warning though dont check auto set on boot because if you get reboots and have it set on boot youll get very frustrated

Dude don't download any HD you games you find on the net your just wasting your time if you download any HD games you find. If your going to download any HD games it must be in QVGA resolution. Try searching it on google ex. "HD QVGA games for android" or anything like that.

just search for it and if you find it download the apk and data files (be sure it's QVGA before you download it) and follow the instructions on where you got the game that's all.
LINK REMOVED
You can find some qvga gameloft game here
thanks i am on that website right now
Here is similar site
LINK REMOVED
Dont forget to press thanks button if I helped you
Well Its not like that out of 1.64 gb you can select which game to download (haven't used torrent before?) and these games worked without any hassle the game data is equally important which in my view should be downloaded via PC

Its a secret process that only takes place when SUN MOON MARS AND JUPITER are in same line it happens only once in a Millennium
or you can use search function and flash the OC kernel by Sqaudzone

In order to OC your fit you will need clock work recovery mod (cwm) and Cyanogen mod ROM and installed in your fit. If you don't have them get them installed. You will get cwm from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
Follw the instructions given there to get cwm installed.
Then get the latest CM7 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382461. Try the link for rc3 it's very stable.Install it in your fit by following the steps given there.In order to reboot to recovery you could just turn off your device. Then turn on by pressing home button and power button combination for a while.
Once installed you are ready to OC .
In order to have google apps (market, gmail etc) you will have to download and install them. The link for them is given there. Go to the link. Select the universal link for cm7. Download it and flash it.( Copy the zip file to SD card. Then reboot to recovery( just press power button and then tap reboot it will then show an option for recovery). In recovery select "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card" and then select the zip that you copied for google apps. and press 'yes'. By the way, In order to select an option in recovery use volume up and down button and home button).
Get the OC kernel from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333883 Use the 3rd link that is for OC upto 801MHz. Then flash it via cwm. Once the kernel is installed install no-frills cpu control app from market. (or you can get it from the link given by squadzone in his post right below the OC kernel mediafire link). Then use it to select your desired frequency.

It worked fine for me. You just have to follow the instructions laid down by the developers. You won't have to root your device . When installing CM7 you get your fit rooted automatically.
And it pays to be cautious. Just follow what the developers say in their posts. It's actually pretty easy. I have done these many times in my fit.

I was using gingerbread on my phone when i had flashed cwm. Got the gingerbread ROM from sammobile.com.
Okay first ima start off by saying the obvious I'm nor responsible for your phone or the actions you take with it nor will I ever be you want it rooted? You want cwm working? YOU want the roms? Then it YOU are the one who is responsible
On that note you can odin if something goes wrong an is a good thing to have such files on your computer just in case
Time for the tut c:
Root
Download cwm via sidekick android development sticky(can do this with phone)
File explorer (root browser)
Now make a copy an put in different folder
Extract the copy to same location
(Should be a recovery file) now move that file to /system/bin (to get to this folder you must have root an you must go as far back as you can as sd card is a sub folder in the phone)
After that you want to
Go to original cwm file
Rename to" update.zip "
Move to the sd cards main folder " / "
Now reboot phone
Reboot into recovery
Reinstall packages
Wellcome to orange cwm
From here to custom roms
Download rom you desire to use
Put in findable location on sd card
Go into recovery
Reinstall packages
Wipe everything an wipe everything in advance menu
No go to mounts
(Mounts) only need to unmount system!! For mostly every rom if you don't your phone will mess up
System unmounted
Now after mounts are in looking like that
Back out an go to install zip
install zip from sd card
Find the rom you chosen to install
Click it
Wait for it to finish then press back button
(I check mounts again because of habit)
Reboot phone
DON'T TOUCH IT... LISTEN TO THE VOICE
Don't touch for about 5-10 mins if they system mounted via voice
Will include my files in a bit

This is a stock ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Discover SGH-S730M in flashable zip format. This ROM has exactly 4 modifications; it's rooted, it's deodexed, it's overclocked to 1 ghz, and it has busybox installed. Other than that this ROM is completely stock. Even so, I welcome you to the first available ROM for the samsung galaxy discover to my knowledge. Hopefully this will encourage others to make their own custom ROMs for this device, as this ROM is now here as a base for anyone who wants to use it. Flashing instructions and download link below.
Instructions:
1. reboot into cwm / twrp, whichever you use
2. full wipe (do not come with issues if you dirty flashed)
3. install zip.
4. Enjoy!

I wipe data/factory reset. Then i reboot normally(reboot system now). After, i put the file in the phone file(usb debogging), but not in a specify directory. I redo the operation of booting with vol+ and power button. I try apply update from external storage...but it doesnt works. So i rename the file, update.zip. And redo booting. But it doesnt work.

Not sure, haven't tried to install this yet, BUT when in recovery, given you have a custom recovery installed, you shouldn't be trying to "apply update from zip" you should be selecting "install from zip". If you are using a stock recovery, you won't be able to flash a ROM. You need to flash a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm using Odin from a PC.

I'm definitely interested in developing a custom ROM for this phone. I bought this phone nearly two years ago, and although I have since upgraded, I seem to always have use it as a back up when my t989 has issues. I know there is a ton of demand for a custom ROM for this phone. I was reading a bunch about META-INF folders and Android kitchen for developing a ROM without having a current base to work with. I'll look into it a bunch more throughout the week, this weekend etc. See if I can get a flashable zip after deodexing and overclocking using the thread the OP of this one used. I read on another forum, after googling "cwm status 255" that this has to do with the updated-binary file in the META-INF folder. The suggestion that worked for the op of that thread was to take the updated-binary file from another flashable zip (for the same phone) and use it to replace the updated-binary file in the zip giving the 255 error. So I took the file from the deodexing zip for this phone and replaced it, not expecting it work, but just to see. Cwm no longer gives the 255 code, but still aborts the installation, with no code given. So it seems this very well could be a start.

Did you pull your META-INF folder from this thread
I'm thinking the ARM binary is different from x86, so the updater-binary file is what's causing the problem

I used the same meta-inf that I use for my tab 3 10.1 work, I just changed the partition table to fit this phone. I never really thought about the x86 vs arm argument, may definitely play a role
I just threw together a flashable zip of this rom quickly on android kitchen. I used the META-INF folder from the thread I previously linked to. It's been deodexed and rooted, but I didn't bother with the overclock. Once we can get a flashable zip that works, i figure we'll go from there. I'm going to flash it to the phone now, and see if it will complete and boot.
I'm getting a status 0 error code. I'm going to rebuild without converting to edify. Will update
Hi Restl3sss, can you doing new ROM without overclock, it's more safe. And it's possible used tools later (ex: No-Frills CPU control) for try overclock if people want live dangerously . ty for your great work.

The overclock is built into the kernel, clocks it from 800mhz to 1000mhz, any one who wants to run it without the higher clock, can just use any CPU control app and set the max to 800.
Without modding the kernel you actually can't overclock past 800mhz using any CPU control app.

The Tab 3 runs on intel and the discover runs on ARM.
From everything I can find this is definitely the problem. Although just replacing the binary itself, and rebuilding hasn't seemed to accomplish anything other than no longer giving the error code. Just aborts. I've read your updater-script and none of the ui messages show up or anything from within that script during install.
@Restl3ss I swapped out the binary from another flashable zip for the same phone, from within the kitchen using your flashable zip. Kept your updater script and other than that the only other change was I zipaligned. I rebuilt it, flashed it. The install doesn't abort, and completed. But none of your ui code from script appears during install, and nothing actually installed to the phone, it just boots straight into recovery. Since I have no idea how to decipher what I'm reading in the binary using notepad++, I'll leave it to your expertise to sort out the rest. I'm only just getting into this developing bit and so far have reached my limit of what I can help you with, as far as getting a base to flash and install successfully. I tried to get a report using adb logcat after it kept booting into recovery but the log remained empty.

do you know if the boot image successfully flashed? if so I might have the partition table wrong for system.
if boot flashed successfully you should be able to set your cpu to 1000 mhz

I pulled the recovery log using adb, and according to the log, the boot.img flashed. But I'll have to check the phone tmrw. Because it said it completed, I believed it, so to be sure I formatted the system folder and data/cache, re flashed, and nothing installed. Your partition table is right tho. Mmcblk0p8 for boot, p16 for system and p18 for data, it's all what it should be. I'll restore my stock cwm back up tmrw, re flash the zip and see if I can set the clock to 1000mhz. If you want, I'll pull as much info I can from the phone partition table, and pm you. To me it's a mystery as to why it won't boot. I'll send the error log and whatever I can gather as well. If I don't get around to it tmrw, it'll be Thursday night
