GPS Fix for Shadowmod b6 - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Ok before we get started i must told you im no Pro so if it doesnt work dont kill me
I've installed the shadowmod b6 gingerbread 2.3 on my milestone.
Everything works great except one thing, GPS.
After many tries i came to a solution.
First off all my way isnt easy so i try to explain with my words.
1.Download GAPPS, im new so i cant post links find it in google,
gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip
2.This is the easy way, open the zip with winrar or something else, than go to system (gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip\system) there is a folder called app,
delete this folder without extracting the archive. (in winrar mark the folder and press DEL)
(we do so because I have updated the hole gapps with the app folder, after that my market wont work anymore, so i have to find any app in gapp and replace them with the original shadowmod app)
3.To update the zip file you need open recovery (my way), put the zip file into the openrecovery updates folder on your sd card and than simply start your phone into recovery mod (hold down camery button and power for 5 seconds release them and slide your keyboard to navigate, use openrecovery and go to apply update, now apply the gapps.zip and reboot).
4. After that im able to activate the gps (without 3g or any data connection) and after a few seconds i have a signal.
5. Now the bad news, shadowmod b6 is well done and the memory fix worked better than in b3. but after this gapps update it seems that the memory tweaks are replaced, my phone now begans to lack when im running out of memory, it hangs up in apps and at the screen ect, i must push the power button once wait the time the phone needs to turn off the display, turn it on and it worked again. (this was happened many times in b3 and after update to b6 it never happened again, now its back xD)
But this is not a big problem for me.
Automatic Display turn off after 15 seconds
so if it hangs up i press the off button wait 15 seconds turn the display on and everything is working again, sometimes over 2 days.
How this can be fixed dont ask me i dont know it.
Greetings from Germany hope it will solve many GPS Problems ^^

Easiest Step-By-Step Android Tutorial for the Vogue (NAND Method/Internal Memory)

I have created this post because I was honestly baffled by the NAND install threads for the Vogue that I found, that claimed to be "straightforward" and simple, but the people who wrote them leave a lot of gaps that you have to figure out. Perhaps they have been doing it for so long now, that they just 'assume' you will know stuff, so here are step-by-step instructions for someone who has zero experience with Android, and all they know is that they have a Window mobile phone.
So, Here is the NAND install process (will install Android to your internal memory, which is much better than running from the SD card) for the HTC Vogue (240x320), CDMA or GSM. I believe this is the most straightforward tutorial on this entire site, and all files you need are provided in this post; no file-hunting necessary like with other tutorials. Keep in mind, this process will wipe your internal memory and replace it with Android, so you should backup any personal files you have stored on the phone. If you have a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) then you should make sure to backup your Contacts using a 3rd party program. GSM phones however (ATT, T-Mobile, etc.), typically store their contacts to a SIM card, which is not altered by this process. You do not need to backup your SD card, since it is also not altered when installing Android.
Dependencies: This process works for any ROM release that provides an "androidinstall.tar" file in their download package.
First and foremost, make sure you have unlocked your phone ("2.31 CoKe" HardSPL for CDMA Vogues). If you have ever flashed a custom Windows ROM from this site or ppcgeeks.com, to your device, then you most likely already have an unlocked phone. If not, perform the steps HERE first, before continuing AND flash to a custom Windows Mobile ROM (non-stock) and make sure your phone is provisioned (you can get and receive calls), and that you can use data (if you have a data plan).
1. Wipe your SD card, and make sure it is formatted FAT32
2. Create a new folder in the root of the SD card called "andboot"
3. Download the ROM release package of your choice (for example, you can download the 240x320 version of Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] HERE)
4. Extract files from STEP 3 and put ONLY the "androidinstall.tar" file in the andboot folder on the SD card, by itself (no other files are needed)
5. You are DONE putting files on your SD card. At this point, put the SD card into your phone.
6. Download the latest NBH file that begins with "voguimg-240x320-..." (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
7. Download the RUU Update Utility (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
8. Rename the NBH file to from STEP 6 to "RUU_signed.nbh" and place it inside the folder with all the other files from STEP 7
9. Now, put your Vogue in bootloader mode: Hold down power, camera, and the small reset hole (with your stylus), until you see the tri-color screen, and it says "Serial" at the bottom
10. Plug your phone into your computer, and the "Serial" text should change the "USB"
11. Now, run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from STEP 7, and click the "Next" or "OK" buttons to go through the flash/ROM update process, until your phone shows a progress bar on its screen and is updating.
12. As soon as that progress bar finishes the phone will automatically reboot; at this point unplug the phone from the computer
13. Now, watch carefully during the Linux boot process...there will be a quick message that says "Hold down Volume Up or D Pad". Just press and hold the center D-Pad button until you see the screen change to the installer menu. If you happen to miss it, and it continues loading, then just use your stylus to press the reset button (it will not hurt the phone or any files to try again as many times as you need to.)
14. You will now see a black and white menu. Select option 1, to "Install..."
15. Select "Yes" on the recommended prompt that follows
16. Once it says the Install process is complete and it returns you to the menu, just reboot your phone with the reset button
17. At this point just WAIT. Do NOT press the volume up button again, and do not do anything until you see the Android desktop. You may get an error saying that it could not find a file or something like that, but just ignore it...do not get impatient! Pretty soon the Android progress bar will show on the screen (might take up to 5 minutes), then the Android desktop will load.
DONE. Enjoy Android on your Vogue! You can now delete all the files on the SD card if you wish...Android will recreate anything it needs on boot-up each time.
MASS STORAGE FIX (USB to PC): You can get the Mass Storage fix HERE so that your storage card will show up as a drive on your computer. This is a widget, and not ROM specific, so should work for any Android ROM.
KAISER WI-FI FIX (for the Kaiser phone ONLY!): Download the Wi-Fi fix HERE (intended for use with 'myn's Warm Eclair RLS1', linked in STEP 3)
I do not ask for donations, just say 'Thanks' if this helped you.

UPDATE: This Thread is now featured on Wired.com's News Site!! Link: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/windows-mobile-android/

please elaborate on step 8. what are we extracting here
Great post. Just some clarifications I thought would be helpful.
1. reminder to all - you can use SDHC cards for this, those being greater than 2gb, but make sure you format them to FAT32.
5. in some instances there are androidupdate.tar files that go with the build too, in which case that too needs to be placed in the same andboot folder
8. clarification, you'll be replacing the RUU_signed.nbh file with the 320 nbh file you download. So, you'll have to delete the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the update utility, and rename your downloaded 320 nbh to ruu_signed.nbh and place it in the update utility folder so it uses that file instead.
9. to enter bootloader mode you have to press those 3 buttons down for about 2 seconds, not just a quick tap. This bootloader is your failsafe fallback to reinstall if your operating system goes funky.
13. If volume up isn't working for you, try holding down the button in the middle of the directional pad. The last nbh file I used required this instead of the awkward volume-up. Regardless, be sure to do this quickly as soon as the phone reboots itself.
16. After the install process is complete you'll be brought back to the same menu you arrived at by holding down the button on startup, you may then select "update" or "upgrade" from that same menu to activate the androidupdate.tar file you may have copied to your andboot folder. Once done, just select "exit" or reset.
17. He's not kidding, first boot can take a very long time.
If you run into problems and just need a functional phone for a bit, download the nfsfan rom (or any other custom roms), put phone into bootloader and run the nfsfan rom utility from your windows desktop. Don't reinstall a locked carrier-specific rom that you might have used to update your radios otherwise I understand your Coke bootloader gets wiped out and you'll have to do that again. Alternatively, there is an older, dummy-proof Android ION build that will install the entire ION build through the rom update utility to your nand at http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2009-12-17/androidinstall.zip/download
I'm no super-expert so if I have any misinformation in my post, or there are other shortcuts, please feel free to edit it or let me know and i'll modify it.

You're looking for the vogue 320 files, not the vogue eclair 320 files unless you're installing an eclair (2.x) build.
The .nbh files are usually referenced on the build thread in the forums, but if they are not head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ and download the latest.
(NOTE: I suggest you run at least the Feb 23 build at http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D as it enables the openGL support)

now now, gents, you're both right - dzo's latest are in one spot, vilord's latest are in the other, and they don't always contain everything the other does. vilord mentioned trying to get them in one spot but I don't know if there's been any progress on that.
it keeps hanging up at the progress bar and both stay at 0% it looks like the active sync is gone once in bootloader it goes gray and then its gone from tray in bottom right corner. it seems like once in bootloader mode i have no active sync connection it just hangs Then the updater goes into its recovery any help please

go into bootloader before plugging your phone in by pressing and holding power button, camera button, and then use stylus to hit reset button.
once you get into bootloader, plug your phone in and then run the rom update

the only reason i said that is because active sync should have nothing to do with it. i dont think active sync should come up or shut down during this process. Do you have the RUU_signed.nbh named properly?

Activesync has nothing to do with updates via the rainbow screen bootloader and will not sync.
You have already install the Coke bootloader? What OS are you running?
Thank you so much. Been needing something like this since the other NAND tutorials for Android didn't tell you what files to use or had outdated/non-working links.

What OS are you running on your computer?
The ROM update utility really just installs the .nbh file which is somewhat of a front-end loader mechanism. Once that file is installed, then the phone resets, you hold down a button and you enter into the menu that lets you actually install android from the androidinstall.tar file in your andboot folder.
Here is a fail-proof method that I think will resolve your goofy androidinstall folder.
Download this
http://74.53.45.2/~evadmin/nfsfan/Public Releases/Vogue 6.5/ROMS/NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.rar
Then replace the .nbh file with the vogue 320 nbh. Then, run it when your phone is already in the bootloader screen.
Excellent post

XP Pro always worked well for me. I'm running Win7 x64 ultimate and recently my phone was recognized as a USB Sync Device in the bootloader mode which doesn't work for the rom update utility. This was occurring both with and without the installation of the MS Mobile Device Center app. To solve this I installed XP Mode and attached the usb device to the XP Mode and it recognized correctly as the Qualcomm MSM thing.
Just an FYI.

[Q] VolUp + Home + Power doesn't work? And backing up framework-res.apk

Brand new phone, unlocked and unbranded. Came on the 'new' JM1. I've rooted it using the One Click Root.
Firstly, I am now trying to install the update.zip for the battery circle mod but for some reason the VolUp + Home + Power combo doesn't work. I press it all together then let go once the first boot screen pops up. What have I done wrong?
Secondly, I am also trying to backup my framework-res.apk. I understand this is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, but my 'My Files' application can't seem to access this, even with hidden files shown. What am I missing?
Thanks.
Hello, you seem to be missing alot, and to be totally honest if i was you i would research ALOT more before attempting this mod, im dubious about this to say the least because of the many variants.
1. the combo will work, your just letting go too early, hold them all down until your in the Recovery Mode. I read somewhere, when the SGS logo pops up to release the power button for a split second and then hold it again. Dont know if theres any method in this but whereas before i had a few fails i get in everytime now.
2. even though you have rooted your device, 'My Files' has its root set to /sdcard/ so you wont be able to see the root using this app anyway. download Root Explorer from the market.
Again you must read more into what your doing before installing a random update that you dont know what it contains, if i was you id make it myself using your own framework-res.
To do this you can use APK Manager to decompile the package, then copy the original graphics and xml into the correct drawable folders, recompile it, open in winrar and copy the META folder, then you should be good
Alternately for backing up your framework-res you can open CMD and type
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
a yea you need the android SDK installed for the above ^
hope this helped

The update.zip I was installing was only for the battery circle mod and nothing else.
Thanks a lot for your advice too, I usually ask a lot of questions on IRC if I'm unsure about what I'm doing.

Rooting for the average Joe.. Laymans terms

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
go to the above link and download the latest version of this app called SuperOneClick. The newest version should be at the bottom. download the program to your computer. Unzip the file and extract whats inside. Once this is done open the folder where the files have been extracted to and run the application that says SuperOneClick. In there you should click the first button which says ROOT. Let the program run and do its thing.
if you do not get any errors.. restart your phone.. there should be a couple of new apps there.. one being superuser and another being ROM manager. both are very important. you should now be rooted! (basically same as jailbreaking iphone, or unlocking any phone)
If ROM manager isnt there, go into the market and download the free version. once this is downloaded open the application and in there you will see a button (first button up top) that says "flash ClockWorkMOD recovery". If that tells you that the recovery image has been flashed you are good to go!
certain things are going to ask you for superuser permissions.. a black screen will pop up asking for these permissions.. always click yes... and make sure the remember box IS checked that way it will only ask you once not every time you access that program.
SECOND: You should download a ROM of your choice. i chose to go with bugless beast rom. it is awesome. if you want this ROM you can go to this link ( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...bugless-beast-v0-6-2-1-gingerbread-froyo.html ) and click one of the mirrors to download. this file will also be in the form of a zip file download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. the name of the file is "frg83dv062.zip" ... once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take 30 seconds to a few mins) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the file frg83dvo62.zip. click ok. and it will give you a list with like 10 things that say no n 1 that says yes. click yes. n let it do its thing. once this is done go back and click reboot now. it will take a few mins to load on the reboot because its a total change in looks and framework so let it do its thing.
NEXT: setting up for some optimum speed tweaks.
download a kernel. my kernel i chose to go with is p3droids low voltage 1200 kernel but you can choose any one you want. this can be found here: http://www.p3designs.info/kernels/ .. download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. again plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take a few seconds) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the 125-1200-v32kernel.zip file. click ok and then scroll to yes. this will install a new kernel. aka make the phone faster and have better battery life.
restart phone normally.
last thing you really need is a program called setCPU which will change things with the kernel making it either faster or slower. click this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 ) scroll to the bottom of the original post and download the latest versionn.. setCPU v2.10.0.zip.. download it to your computer. open it!.. inside you will find a file that has an ending of .apk. again plug your phone into your computer and open to view files. click the file ending in .apk and drag it to your sd card INTO A FOLDER NAMED downloads. once done unplug and you are good to go. a couple good applications you can use to navigate through your sd card are es file manager or astro file manager both available for free in the market. This will allow you to look through all of you files on your sd card. go into whichever program you prefer and go to the downloads folder. click on the setCPU apk and it will popup saying either browse file or open app manger. click open app manager and then click install.
once this is installed you can set it up like this: it will ask you for superuser permission click yes.
once it is opened it may give you the options to autodetect device. if not hit the menu button on your phone and hit device selection scroll down to autodetect device. it will detect your kernel. You can set the options however you want but i set the options up like this:
max :900000
min:125000
scaling: ondemand
set on boot CHECKED
click profiles: check the box for enable
click add profile
profile: screen off
max: 500
min:125
profile: battery <30%
max: 700
min: 125
profile: temp >40degrees Celsius
max: 500
min: 125
next go to advanced tab
click set on boot box.
sampling rate: 100000
Up threshold: 90
ignore nice load: 0
powersave bias: 0
restart the phone and you should be golden!
Any questions feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.
Works!
Confirmed working on FRG83G (2.2.2)
However, it was necessary to install motorola drivers first (www.motorola.com/support)
I need to add this post to my favorites. Now that I have finished experimenting on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, Motorola Droid is my next "victim."
This is great. This is my first time doing something like this. Been considering it heavily. Now this makes it real easy. Can someone recommend overclock settings for Moto Droid?
Edit: never mind. guess i cant read very well. see his recommended settings. but I guess I would still like to ask what overclock settings everyone else is using. are his good, or should I go higher. Already notice it runs a good amount faster which was my huge complaint about the Droid since the 2.2 update.
Also. had issues installing the custom ROM, just installed the kernel. Read in other places about having to clear data/cache at some point. not exactly sure at which point to do this, could someone help me? because I tried to reboot it after installing it and is just sat loading for at least 15-20 mins before I had to pull the battery. The guide says it takes a few minutes, but I know it doesnt take That long.
Finally getting around to doing this and found out that the clockworkmod isn't available for 2.1 anymore. Anyone got an old .apk that I can install (the new version gives me the parse error)?
sweet thx!!!!

[ROM] Froyo ClockworkMod V1 [08-05-11]

New good build come ! I repark from [F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][EXT2] by faryaab ( thanks faryaab). This build run smooth and fast !
What work:
- phone, sms, email, 3g, wifi, bluetooth, usb mode ...
- market, browser, app, game...
- 3D good ( 24.3fps neocore with sound!)
- ultil now every thing work well !
I. Download needed file:
1. Rom: http://www.multiupload.com/OLFZRD3BGN
2. boot folder: http://www.multiupload.com/Q6MNZX6FSD
II. before install :
1. Format your sdcard make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / about 150MB -> depends on the build )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 250MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 50MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard.
3. Copy Rom ( zip file , don't extract) in to root of sdcard.
III. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select "Froyo CWM V1 08-05-11.zip" . Confirm instalation. then back to main menu (press ok key) and choose: reboot system now.
3. Run HARET again and press any key (except Volume keys) to continue booting into Android.
TIPS:
- Android won't performing very well at first running hours, if you have many media files (pic,videos..) .. system will be busy searching for these files & creating thumbnails for them ... the time for that is depending on the quantity of the media on the SD card ..
- syne with google account, open each app one then restart for smooth speed.
- enable 3G ( if use want use data connect) and plugin charge in windows mobile before boot
- disable auto rotate
- disable data connect, data transfer, auto sync, use 2g network, use setCPU for save baterry life
- set acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=652000 in startup file ( inside npkboot folder) for more speed ! if you have problem, reset to 600000!
- If you want stop problem key freeze, download kernel with keyboard as modules and follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2 how to do ^^!
- USB mode have litle bug so when use turn on, copy file, it normal, then turn off usb mode, it will ask you format sdcard, DON'T ok, cancel it and restart phone, sdcard will normal again.
UPDATE:
- I recommend every one don't use Task Manager with option kill all ap or auto kill app, it will make more system eror, stop app, and keypad die! I don't use any task manager and it run stable for me, with no eror until now ! please try this thing and report here if it work !
- If when you boot to android and the phone restart, check your cpu speed and disable overclock in windows mobile. If you not overclock, download this file http://tingstenen.dk/data/ygge2.6turbo.zip extract and replace 2 file zimage and modules in npkboot folder, format sdcard, and try again! maybe it will work !
So, please report here how it works ! Thanks all developers for this build !

- I test wifi and work good so far, no eror or dropping, just in first boot maybe it eror, reboot 2,3 time and everything will work good.
- Keyboard problem need fix by kernel, so, until now, this problem is not yet fix! I recomment use gscript to fix it
Nice work, it runs pretty well!
Exept for one thing, when i try to download some apps from the market, it says
"application google service Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly". It does this everytime it tries do download from the market...
Did you encountered that problem? Should a make a system restore from android? I also tried to format the cache memory...Fix the permissions, but nothing changed...
Except that issue, sometimes it starts with the menu in wide mode.
Many thanks to you!!

Hi b8e5n, nice to see it work good for you, with the market, I don't have any eror until now. have you use any Task Manager and use kill all app to free more memory? I recomment don't use it, and maybe you should reinstall again with step by step I write in first post
Thanks for your help! I spent my whole day on it...
I did not use any kill app, because there was no app killer installed.
I tried to reinstall the whole system (formating the three partitions of curse), but failed again with that error, so i tried another mod.

please try this boot folder http://www.multiupload.com/JC7W7479NE, download it and extract npkboot folder to your sdcard. remember format all partition sdcard and make them primary . copy 4 file in old folder I give in first post include: Haret.exe, modules-2.6.27.46.tar.gz, zImage, and ts-calibration to new folder. then reinstall. Hope it work for you ^^!
Works flawlessly!
only thing to improve is battery drain
great job! thanks!
I tried your Android but happens to me the following:
Sdcard reformat the FAT23 partition and three Ext2
Copying
npkboot
Froyo_CWM_V1_08-05-11.zip
card to FAT32
Via file explorer and choose open folder sdcard npkboot
run Haret
starts to load and after a few seconds resets the phone.
I tried another version npkboot you're hung up in some of the recent posts but
happens the same thing.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do or give up.

Thanks I managed to install
Now I have another problem
When I launch Android everything works solidly
but no network
I go into settings and try to auto adjust, find the mobile operators but will not connect
also when I try manually
What should I do?
I tried several times to get into airplayn mode but nothing

Best ROM for me so far, and I've tried them all to date! (As of May 18!)
Just like to say I'm using this ROM, with the gscript keyboard modules and SetCPU, and so far, feels faster and more stable than the others and I'm going to stick with this one for a while.
I especially like being able to use CWM to make a backup to the SD card and then able to restore it at a later date very quickly if things go wrong (just some advice, if you do rename the CWM backup directory, do *not* put spaces in the directory name or it will give you an error).
I have a few problems though with installing apps
So far, WhatsAPP will not install. Neither will the latest ADWLauncher 1.3.3 (I'm currently using the older version). Not quite sure why this is happening. Would appreciate any advice here

GPS don't work

hi,
GPS does not work on my I9070, when activated gps, not even the icon appears on the top bar.
Using the CW 10.2 to about 8 months, I have never used the GPS and then I never realized until now that did not work.
Today I put the CW 11 but the problem persists, it looks like a driver issue.
Can you help?

Go back to stock and see if it works there. I was using GPS on CM11.

with the original version of the GPS worked
I had similar problems with the data connection, I had to flash the modem drivers after the cyano past.
Speeding up GPS/AGPS
One of the main reasons to root an Android phone is to speed up the GPS lock. This happens by changing some text in a file called gps.conf in /etc/ or /system/etc/.
1. Get a file explorer with root support (root explorer, ES file explorer is good too). You'll have to replace your gps.conf with a new, tweaked one.
2. Go "app.box.com/s/w57s1v1n3hie7l5lk28i", pick your country, and download the file inside the folder. If you didn't find your country, pick the country that is the closest to yours.
3. Put it on your sdcard.
4. Open up your root explorer.
5. Copy the file.
6. Go to /system/etc/.
7. Mount system as R/W.
8. Paste the file, and overwrite it with the old one.
9. Now change it's permissions to rw-r--r-- by holding on it, and clicking permissions. Change both owners to 0-root.
The main purpose of the test is to make Android learn the new gps.conf file. This happens by using an app that controls GPS and AGPS.
1. Download GPS test from Google Play Store, and install it.
2. Open it, go to menu-settings, and press clear AGPS (OPTIONAL: reboot).
3. After clearing AGPS, and while connected to the internet, press Update GPS.
4. You'll get a GPS lock in about 5 seconds
5. Leave the GPS locked for about 10 minutes for Android to learn how it works. This method will get you a lock in 5-15 seconds with or without internet connection.
I am on CM10.1 and GPS works ( even somewhat better than it did on stock 4.1.2).
When I install a new application, Privacy Guard blocks by default GPS access for it.
Don't know if this a default setting or not, but this could be your problem.
Check your Privacy Guard settings...
