REGIONAL GPS Scripts Updated from 1.0 to 1.2!
[This is a duplicate post I posted in the Aria forum] Mods if this is in the wrong forum and better suited in the general forum, please feel free to move.
Greetings All,
I would like some people to beta test something I have been working on in the HD2 forum, which I think will benefit MOST people. I cant guarantee it will work for everyone. I started this project in the HD2 forum because the GPS drivers are not complete with agps support, and made a new gps script to aide in helping lock times to be quicker, and to lock onto more sats. Which has been successful.
I have an Aria that I had laying around and my daughter wanted to use, so I decided to let her use it, which I just rooted, flashed a stock att rom, and upped the radio to current, then installed gps status and tried testing the gps. I was getting 2 sats with difficulty, after I replaced the gps.conf file, my lock time shortened very quickly and instantly had locks to 9 sats.
So even though I know the file is universal and just about any android phone can use this, I would like if people could try my file and post results here to see if it helps people with trouble with their GPS and even if you dont have trouble, if you just want to try it.
Some Inspire users that I have suggested this to have had positive results, which lead me to post in this forum to help and see if it makes a difference for anyone else. (I have an Inspire 4G as well)
Most from what I see only get a lock to 4 or 5 sats, seems 9-12 is unheard of. The files are in CWR so flashing it through recovery should not be a problem. If you want you can just pull the gps.conf file from the zip and adb push the file. The link obviously is in my Signature, but just to make it easy:
Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2! *FOR ALL ANDROIDS PHONES!*
Of course by the name, I have made files for the USA broken down into 6 regions, and I also made files for 62 countries.
If it works for you, please hit the Thanks button, do not fill the posts up with Thanks thats what the mods made a button for. If you feel the urge to donate, please feel free coffee does wonders.
But I am more then happy just to give back to XDA with what I can. If any Dev's wish to use any of my files, you may do so as long as credit is given where credit is due.
All 1.0 Files have been upgraded, Please read The Original Post about the Updates
I'll give it a go!
Edit: 18 sec. lock indoors with 8 sats.
My gps has been pretty fast before, still going to try this out.
Didn't work well for me. 3 sat fix almost instantly but then it would take about 5 min to get a location lock and the accuracy was absolute ****e. With stock settings I could lock outside in 15-20 sec with 20 meter accuracy. Guess I need to learn to leave good 'nuf alone.
Sent from me using this thing.
With the app GPS status.. my CM7 (final build) takes 2 minutes to reach 2-3 satellites and the app isn't done testing! With this script, the app took 6 seconds for full 7 sat lock on! 6 seconds and the app was DONE testing...! Thank you!!!! ps testing was in-doors.
You get a wink OP. Thats how amazing this script is. Inside, during a thunderstorm, I got 11 SAT locks Amazing stuff.
Are you guys flashing 1.1(region) or 1.0(country)?
I flashed country as the Northeast one wouldn't download on my phone lol Works just fine. But Im going to try the Northeast one today and see if I get the same results.

I flashed 1.0 and it works perfectly. Only takes at most 30 seconds for a lock.

The 1.1 has been broken down for the US regions, all the links should work, remember they will not download from a phone, and I have no idea why, but if anyone has any trouble downloading the files check to make sure you have pop-up blockers off, also if you click on it it will open a new window with a blank page and a gold download bar, or you could try right clicking the link and try open in new tab.
the new versions are more focused specifically for the different regions.
But I am glad its working well for most of you. Glad to help out.

You seem to be on to something here. I made a simple set of files for the Captivate and I like what you have done so far. Great work!

Thanks, just waiting for initial results of my 1.2 script, that is a bit more extensive. Hoping to have that release by next saturday (4/23/11).
Hey Angel, 1 thing. When I install the North-East ZIP, the script says now installing for US Mid-West? Anyone else confirm?
Probably used the same update-script.

Yes the install script on all of them says the same thing, I was doing it at 3am and was too tired to do the banners for each and every place.
And thank you for everyone trying it out, I hope my next version is a success as well as this verison.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I thought the root guides would be in the sticky. if both guides are out of date, which one am I supposed to use??
Thanks!
You can still use the hack kit

Just the videos are out dated, but you can still go along with them,. Use bubbys method, should be easier, the video is out of date but you can use it to go along with, if instructions in the video are different than the instructions in the command promt then just do what the command promt says, their not that different. just watch the video a few times before you do it. and dont get in a rush.
Neither ways say they are outdated. The videos might. The dates on the post just mean that was the last time they were updated. If they aren't updated that means that they haven't found any better way of doing it.

This. I did this yesterday, watched the video, ran the program while watching the video with it and I got root, s-off, and everything just fine, all the instructions were the same as the video. Running CM7 Stable now and after some modifications I couldn't be happier. Good luck with your rooting, just follow the instructions exactly and you'll be fine.
Thanks guys! This is the gf's phone and she wants wifi tether so she can use my iPad to watch Desperate Housewives while she's traveling, lol.
She loves Sense and the stock ROM but wants to ditch the bloat. I'm thinking one of the new gingerbread sense roms would do nicely.
How long did this take you guys?

maybe 20 mins?; after I watched the video 3 or 4 times. loading the roms takes the most time. you dont have to root to get free tether, there is a guide in the dev section somewhere.

It took me a bit longer then I expected cause i had some minor problems. But the general time is round 30 min. Took me about an hour.
It too me about 45 minutes total to do everything. But just FYI, if you only want to root for tethering you can get tethering for free on unrooted stock by setting your own VPN settings, search the forums and you'll be able to find a guide easily.

I was and have always been under the impression that MIUI didn't require GApps..? The ability to log into a Google account is built-in, and the ROM comes with Gmail.
I have noticed that Jeff stopped updating the ROM on MIUI.us. I can continue updating the ROM there if needed, but I'd rather have someone else take it over since I have recently left Sprint and their crappy data speeds.

No need! I have not stopped, just waiting for a stable ICS build to port instead. There have been minor changes that don't really effect us, so I haven't been porting weekly.
So I'm going to apologize for the stupid question ahead of time, I promise I'm usually not this slow on Mondays. But quick question.. I have a 3G symbol (I think I understand the meaning of that), a signal bar with a E, and a signal bar with a 1X.....
What are all the signal bars for?

1x is not 3g..what you get when 3g is not available..like sending msgs and phone calls..
if im not wrong...e represents edge and h is hspda
It is that way because China made a lot of changes go the cdma code. Everything works besides how the signal is shown

edit - from: http://miuiandroid.com/2012/01/miui-rom-no-release-this-week/
Hi everyone,
Should of probably mentioned this earlier in the week but i’ve been exceptionally busy with work.
Due to the new year in China there will be no development ROM this week for MIUI. Normal development will resume in the coming days following from the weekend.
Please dont spam the comments with ‘Please port my phone’ type questions or otherwise. They will be deleted.
We hope everyone has a great weekend and we’ll be back in next week with a nice new update and hopefully some more exciting news on ICS and other developments we’ve been aware of by Xiaomi.
Thanks,
Mark

T mobile is offering me a choice between a Sidekick 4g and a myTouch 4g slide.... I've read the specs and seems the mytouch is higher end but want to know opinions from users who know whats what. like I said I've read the specs already so I am trying to look past the black and white.

OK now I have the phone on it's way. I know I can't get s-off but would like to know what I can and can't do until that solution has been found. I am also reading up so not looking for the lazy way out.

Pretty sure the Sidekick has reported A LOT of hardware problems.... check there forums here as well, but I do recall it being a high-problem phone.
You can't possibly go wrong with this device.
Developer "Blue61X" has even bought two of these devices because he loves it so much. if that helps

I'm leaning this way.... haven't had much chance to explore this forum yet... Is it possible to get s-off yet?
Yea, it's great. I can't see anything else coming close to it for a while in it's class ( hardware keyboard )
The stock battery is not great - and that's being polite.
You can find links to the battery threads in the contents page of my sticky in dev - basically you have the cheaper Anker or the more expensive Mugen to choose from to replace it with.
If you have/want to spend the money, the Mugen is great - I rock an Anker myself and love it.
Make use of the tv-out through the headphones jack, I play a lot of games output to a tv screen and the device stays alive and active while you are hooked up. I'm sure you can imagine how much more fun racing games and many others will be like this.
You can also find links to the tv threads in the dev reference, which will tell you what cable to get.
I have a Trident case on my primary, and love it. There's a decent thread on cases, but I've been pretty busy around here and haven't had the chance to update it in a while. I'll get back to it sometime.
Once you change a few keymappings, update with my gps fix and start really playing with it you'll love it.
Any specific questions just toss 'em out there - but there is no other device now or that we know of coming that I would trade this for.

Depends. For the new update, which you'll have, you got a chance with the HTC unlock tool - if that works you can do most stuff.
We are actively working on a downgrade to S-OFF option - this led to me getting S-OFF to S -ON for us a couple hours ago and I'll be bringing one of my devices up to the S-ON locked state you'll get it in later tonight.
Then I'll be able to actually try stuff instead of us guessing - all the devs working on the fix were S-OFF already so figuring out how to flip it S-ON was a big step in productivity. Once I update in S -ON, I'm stuck until we figure it out - so don't worry man, right there with ya.
HTC should have the issue resolved and restart the OTA in the not too distant future.

DO NOT SIDEKICK 4G i have that phone and its slow as ****, no roms, very hard to put clockwork mod on it,
the olny good thing about it is the keyboard and i personally prefer the mytouch 4g slides keybaord
@ Blue: looking forward to the success of your work and all that I can learn from you and the other devs. I personally use the Samsung galaxy s 4g and am getting this phone to replace my wife's mt3gs and think I'm going to be jealous from the little bit that I've read.
@wiswis: already placed the order for the mytouch. I posted something similar to this in the sidekick forum and plenty of people have viewed but no post. They made the decision very easy.
Thank you everyone for your input.
Definitely the mt4gs

Just a little word about the GPS. On the 1.28.531.10 stock ROM, your GPS fix was a huge improvement. However, now that I'm on the 1.55.531.3 stock ROM, the GPS is lightening quick and accurate without any adjustments on my part. HTC must have done some serious tweaking to the GPS code in this ROM.

You know, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that - there was a bunch of GPS stuff that was pushed for the new update, a new SUPL cert and gps.conf file. I meant to take a look at it to see what they did and if it still needed help or not, but haven't had a chance to yet.
Hopefully I'll have the presence of mind to pull them from my other phone now that it's up to date stovk

If you read the specs alone it should be nothing but obvious what phone to choose its like asking should i go with a free geo or a BMW .........
i think you get the idea by now, but i'll just say, the keyboard is the ONLY POSSIBLE reason you might choose the SK. i've had both, and there is no comparison... MT4GS all the way.
LMFAO! Screw the damn keyboard. I can't wait to dig into this phone and see what it can do. Only downside is my wife said I only get one weekend to set it up before she takes it away. NOW that I have the phone on order and I'll only have the weekend to mess with it any suggestions on what I should start with until s-off is achieved?
Depends what hboot u get. If u get the older one, ur in business. Ez to root and s-off.
Use rubix ics 5.2 with my directions on page 148 of its thread on rootzwiki, if u want stability with everything working and super fast. If she wants ics, tbalden's rom probably. But all the 4.0.X roms are still a work in progress.

The work on GB just started a week ago. Shut up and stop trolling. The only way this phone will ever get GB is if people like you stay out of the way of the people who are getting work done.
Third party development for the Sidekick 4G has NOT ceased. I can see that we at the very most have 5 active projects continuing. Officially, T-Mobile has stopped support and updates for the Sidekick 4G however. Our only hope, is to support those who are continuing to bust their ass for the Sidekick 4G when they could just go get a nicer phone and develop for that instead.
Source of T-Mobile's Announcement : I can't post it because I don't have enough posts to link to outside resources, just a quick Google search will show you that.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future for this device, please be more possitive. I know this device has potential.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using Tapatalk
Then device itself is quite nice. If we do get AOSP/CM, I'll be satisfied with the SK4G for a few more years. Five row keyboards are a rarity for some reason, and I need one for SSH.

yeah we slowed down dev but look it doesnt matter as long as we are a 4g phone we could do just the same as the epic 4g did and not dev for awhile but burst with everything soon enough it just takes time and devs to get the phone

That's true, the Epic 4G did eventually get CM support after a long delay.
However, it also has approximately two zillion units in deployment. The SK4G has more of a struggle ahead, with far fewer handsets in the field.
I wish more sysadmin types would realize what a great device the Sidekick 4G is for remote management. Top-notch SSH client, flexible VPN options. That user base could really benefit from the SK4G's virtues.
Another thing about the Sidekick 4G that I like to mention is that on stock, it's crap. Although, when flashed with a custom ROM and proper tweaks applied, the phone's structure and hardware becomes more than worth the price. For example, the price is sub-200$, which is great for this phone. (brand new too)

Price is 182$ w/ free shipping straight. The only issue is Hong Kong's slow shipping. (also the phone is unlocked)
really i got mine for 120 with it already rooted i didnt have to work at all but its simple to do anyway
I got mines as a gift, I'm hooked on GOv2

I've been with the sidekick line for quite some time now, they have always been a tried and true phone, so i'm loyal to SK. It was a bit of an adjustment goin from danger to android. (this is my first android device lol) and let's face it, the stock SK4G was a pain... ran slow, choppy, a little disapointing.
But after finding XDA and the awesome people that contribute here, i learned a few things. Had fun learning them too. Now i am happy with my my SK4G completely.
Yea, Tmob stopped production after only 11 months, but like alot of people loyal to the SK line, and with some help from the cool peeps on XDA, i'll be rockin this phone for quite some time.
btw, some rumors about SK gettin another revamp? should be interesting.
Rockin the Glorious Overdose v2 ROM. great work!
Yeah well if you go with the ics that I have it thinks its galaxy nexus which is funny but I think sk might be getting cyanogenmod
Sent from my sidekick that thinks im Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I got mine free 2 months ago with a new 2yr.Stock was junk and lagged way too much,then i went to GOv2 and got alot of freezes now on GGv3 and flawless its a whole different phone,thx for all the hard work.
Not so dead after all

The work on GB just started a week ago. Shut up and stop trolling. The only way this phone will ever get GB is if people like you stay out of the way of the people who are getting work done.

Dude.. your signature.. that looks awesome
It all comes down to all phones have different development rates.
If you wanna see a phone that died look at the LG Ally when it came out.
