[GPS][DEV]Heathens GPS Fix[EDT] - Updated 3/19/11

Gingerbread.GPS.zip
This is a flash for the GPS files pulled from the new XWJV1 Gingerbread I9000 Leak.
Rather a mix of GB GPS and Vibrant GPS.
Wipes Dalvik so it will take a minute longer to reboot after flashing it.
This took a little longer for me to lock indoors but I was still able to get 6 meters accuracy with 6 of 12 birds locked.
************************************************************
S.gps.zip
AKA Super GPS
This is the one you want to try!
Flash on 2.2.1 and under.
Great success has been had when combining this software fix with the hardware fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
************************************************************

im assuming this is for cm 7? i hope so and if it is i love you !!!

Should work on pretty much any rom running on a Vibrant.

Tried to flash on cm7 and it said amended scripting no longer supported in gingerbread recovery or something like that. What a tease!

You will have to push the files then because cm7 is going to want this in the form of an updater_script

How and push where exactly? Does it need to be renamed.
sent from the galaxy of cm7

Got the same error message. "no longer supported since 1.6" Tried replacing files manually with root explorer. No dice on CM 7.

Well, first off, you will be the first person to try these files on cm7 - that I know of.
Secondly, unzip the file and place the files on your sdcard and use root explorer to copy and paste them in to their respective folders using the folder structure I have them in as your guide.

that's what i was figuring, but i don't see a meta-inf folder.

Which folder do we push them in?

Waiting on CM7 feedback from this as well.

I am trying on CM7. As a note, the /data/gps/ folder has some completely different looking files in there than the secgps.conf. /system/bin/ also did not contain agpsd, but /system/etc/ did contain gps.conf. I do not know what any of that means specifically.
3+ minutes so far in GPSTest (indoors), and it does not even pretend to be sniffing a satellite.

Works beautifully on Darkys 9.3.

Those files don't already exist and that is why the gps does not work.

[Q] Willingly uninstalled a default app (how could i be soo dumb)

Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.

i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.

thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.

ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|
the phone apk is there ... but i think the dialer app is the one actually missing .. could you please add the dialer app as well?

right now i have from dialer: dialertabactivity.odex (i think there should be a dialer.apk here as well)
and from phone: Phone.apk, Phone.odex, Phone_Util.apk, Phone_Util.odex, PhoneErrService.apk, PhoneErrService.odex, PhoneSetupWizard.apk, PhoneSetupWizard.odex

Yep, it's the one with the green square, no Dialer.apk on my phone, just DialerTabActivity (apk&odex)Ok I've added a few into this rar, most you probably have, but I found 2 contact ones you didn't mention, so maybe they will help, these are all I have on my laptop that are related to the phone I think, see if they help.

you got a DialerTabActivity apk?
i copied all and overwrite them but still cant install the apps back. i would of wanted to keep my apps and stuff ... is there any other way to reinstall the default apps that i stupidly uninstalled? (Contacts, Dialer, Phone) dont know if it helps .. but i used the "Uninstaller for Root" app

Ok here's everything I could find on my phone, let me know if any of them help ok

the fact that i copy them in apps doesn't make them appear in the menu (i think that i still have to install them) and i always get the application not installed error when i try to run the apk to install.

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...

well ... no wireless here ... no wap on my sim ... cant get astro at the moment seems that everything i thought i was doing was bogus .. the file manager was saying that it was pasting/ copying/ deleting but it wasn't ... I'll replay tomorrow after downloading astro and after i actually do everything suggested

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...

ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working

Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.

ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want

i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .

You need to be rooted, at least to be able to use AntTek and Root Uninstaller, and no, you won't loose it in case of FW update, unless the upgrade is for the camera too... but the process is fast. 5 minutes and its done

Thanks Dude, but did download the ICS Camera, to take pictures without shutter sound.
Ruedas, a rooted phone doesnt receive OTA updates, right?

strange thing that i downloaded the apk, tried to install it but wouldnt work even after changing permissions. Had no camera forawhile. Downloaded the stock apk, just copy and pasted it in the folder and all of a sudden i have my camera back with no shutter sound...no idea why but thanks

I'm trying my best to fix (IOW; mute) the shutter sound on my GF's O4X. While I believe I understand how this is done, I'm not able to actually get it done.
I've managed to get the phone rooted (thanks to alexp999's simple to follow guide). If I've understood things correctly; I now need to replace the original camera.apk with the modified one found in this thread.
Problem is that, in the /system/app folder, both renaming files (the old camera.apk) and copying files (the new camera.apk) to the folder fails.
Anyone able to see what I'm missing / doing wrong? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!..

Thanks for the reply and suggestion RuedasLocas!
Titanium Backup seems to have the option to uninstall system apps, I'll give that a go. Would however like to figure out how to copy files to the system/app folder before I do that (given that this is required to re-install/enable the camera). Have tried with both ES File Manager and Total Commander; both have been given SU-privelages, both are able to browse to the folder, neither is able to copy files to or rename files in the folder...

Tried AnTek Explorer; What an interesting file manager! Will have to test this for a longer period of time, could possibly become my new goto file manager. Thanks for the tip!..
Though I couldn't get the new/modified camera.apk to the system/app directory. Though this time it failed with an error messge; "Error Don't have enough permission to do this action" (see attached screenshot). Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Thanks for all the help! Rebooting allowed me to rename files. Then I finally figured out why copying files to the system folder failed (or at least partly); For reasons unknown to me, I weren't allowed to copy/move files directly from the external_sd card to the system/app directory, Had to first move the to an internal location, then I could move then to the desired location!
End result; The annoying shutter sound is gone! :victory:
Again; Thanks for all the help!

[GPS] T959 4.2 JB GPS Reset / Fix [GPS]

Looking around in various threads I found numerous gps fixes. In some (most) the files are not original T959 files. While they may work, since they are not T959 KB5 files the possibility of 911 working diminishes. I set out to find any gps fix out there and build a flash-able package that would reset everything back to the proper (or as close to) files for our phones (T959).
Also I have found some ROMs utilized the SUPL port of 7276. This port was found to create gps log-spam and the "fix" was to reset the port to 7275. This IMO also resulted in quicker locks.
See HERE and HERE for more info.
For the 911 info go HERE (or just click it in FaultException's signature)
What this tells me is you want matched GPS libraries with the proper T959 RIL.
So I have searched a few threads and found 1 GPS fix so far and built mine to reset or undo any possible mismatched files flashed. If you find any GPS fix that some might use for CM10.1 please post it an I shall try to adapt mine to reset it to the proper files.
I have made:
North American version (NA)
Europe Version (EU)
Global Version (GL)
USA Version (US)
Asia Version (AS)
YMMV between USA and North America if you live in the states.
2nd post I will also post my custom version with some extra advice and good signal locks. What I need is for people to nanadroid first and test it. Also to post / link and GPS fixes they may have come across so I can check them. Point to note is I am attempting to fix non T959 GPS fixes as much as make a good GPS fix for our phones. Posting links to other "fixes" will help. Thanks
With any JB / ICS ROM you have taken the responsibility of possible breaking 911. No difference here. Flash at own risk.
NANDROID FIRST!!!
Big thanks to FaultException for the time, info, and files required for our phones.
Original version may mute calls > Revert to nanadroid if the case. V2 shouldn't effect calls. Please test.
Checking original Froyo gps files here is the the MD5's Ive found so far:
JFD (558kb)
0F3376A81E85AE6044D2BF68D63E2A55
JI6 (554kb)
4761E7B01E0A71A048458F50DE64BC62
KB1 (554kb)
870A5D6F3542FD7421B215FCB37D884C
KB5 (554kb)
870A5D6F3542FD7421B215FCB37D884C
(KB5 is what is in CM10.1 also)

Ok here is the file for my custom GPS setup. I have not had and deep-sleep issues (DS). Some of the following may work, or not. Its just some tips and stuff I do.
Zip file attached. NTP is set to north america so you can edit as needed.
This will also install Angrygps app for you. When you boot up open the app and set the following:
Settings > General Settings > Operation Mode = "MSBASED"
Settings > SUPL Settings > Server = supl.sonyericsson.com and PORT = 7275
Also I suggest you install an app called LeoAGPS injector. Found HERE
Install it like any normal app (no push), open the app and select "Pop-up message". After that go to your home screen and app the LeoAGPS widget. Click the widget to inject AGPS data. Wait a few seconds then reboot.
Try out the GPS and see how it goes.
Version 1 broke sound on the RemICS ROMs so I pulled the RIL files out. Now just custom gps files / fixes

Change log:
Added a USA version. May or may not work better than the North America version.
1/10/2013 - Since it appears the version 1 broke phone sound on the RemICS builds I removed the RIL files. Now v2 will only fix / replace gps files and not RIL files.
1/18/2014 - Added some MD5's of gpsd/agpsd files Ive extracted from Samsung dumps.
GPS fixes reset:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33575684&postcount=504

If you want to try and adapt it to your specific country:
Open in a text editor: /system/etc/gps.conf
Change the NTP server line (top line) to your country. Country list found HERE
Edit / reboot / check
I do suggest the LeoAGPS app in post #2. It has seemed to work well for me.

Thanks for this awesome post! I know I'm suppose to test these files before asking but you might already have the answer: with these fixes, in your experience, do you still need to get a lock before DS in order to prevent issues after DS? Or after you reboot and getting into DS before locking first, you are able to get GPS to lock after DS?
Thanks for all your help!

It was not addressed to me, my 5 cents anyway. I think it's more a kernel issue, at least it was so on ICS until the great SubZero came into play. You should try his GPS-wrapper, I think it could help (preventing the GPSD getting incidentally corrupted) - find the flashable zip in the "3 files fix" post of Jrafael (see post No 3 above).
I am also very interested in getting our Vibrant's GPS as much functional as it can be. My own "fix" (check for Igps.zip) was giving me best results for accuracy (down to 3 m!) on some ROMs (JB 4.1 and 4.1.2, but not 4.2.1). I found out that there are many useless files (such as gps.xml or secgps.conf), and that GPS will still lock and pretty quickly even without gps.conf tweaks (and even without this file). However I don't have coding skills to organize my empirical findings.
@ MR - where did you get your RIL files from, with the Europe fix file I have no sound on phone call (I use instead the MP's RIL files, working fine for me).

Got the RIL from KB5 / CM10.1 - same boat here about sound. Gonna pull the downloads and check on it. If anything Ill re-up without the RIL and just GPS files and try again. Im getting what looks to by Bluetooth errors when trying to connect. Even when BT is turned off with the RemICS ROMs.
Whenever able CM10.1 use the Froyo KB5 RIL / Drivers and such. Some times it just doesn't work. The RIL and AGPS files from Froyo KB5 match the CM10.1 ROMS.
Testing my original fixes - the following so far are the outcomes:
RemICS-JB: Breaks sound. Version 1 RIL and GPS doesnt match CM10.1 / KB5.
Slimbean: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1
HellyBean: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1
CM10.1: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1

FIRST
I will apologize to those who flash the original version on RemICS ROMs. It broke your call sound. Return to your nandroid and all should be well. For those on Slim / Helly / CM10.1 you are fine.
The RemICS ROM is very smooth but the RIL / GPS files don't match the Samsung T959 KB5 (also in CM10.1) files. Replacing 3 of the RIL files with the proper KB5 ones broke the sound. Ill keep at it.
For now - Version2 no longer replaces and RIL files. All the above GPS fixes will replace gps files / remove un-needed gps files.

First I want to thanks Mr. Moped for jb GPS fix great job.I am using remics jb 4.2 and moped GPS files NA-Version 2 it works good, I lost signal than it reconnect so that issue is fixed in Version 2 and sound is working also thanks .

Moped_Ryder, I just flashed 4.2.1 and flashed your USA version GPS fix after flashing GAPPs. I'm coming from 4.1.2, and only got locks down to 30m intermittently. The norm was 800 m accuracy (vik5 responded to some of my posts). More importantly, thank you for doing this post (clicked the Thanks) and appreciate you explaining the reasoning behind your updates as well.
*Update* First lock in GPS Checker occurred after 31s with 8 "fixed satellites". Marked improvement over GPS performance on Team RemICS 4.1.2 (highest I ever got was 3 satellites, lock took 242 s). Thanks Moped!!

Moped_Ryder, I just flashed 4.2.1 and flashed your USA version GPS fix after flashing GAPPs. I'm coming from 4.1.2, and only got locks down to 30m intermittently. The norm was 800 m accuracy (vik5 responded to some of my posts).

Do me a favor if you have time. Do a Nandroid and try my Custom fix in post #2 (to include AngryGPS settings). Also combine that with the LeoGPS I linked as well.
See if that works any better for you. Revet back to your Nandroid after if you wish.

If you want to try and adapt it to your specific country:
Open in a text editor: /system/etc/gps.conf
Change the NTP server line (top line) to your country. Country list found HERE
Edit / reboot / check
I do suggest the LeoAGPS app in post #2. It has seemed to work well for me.

Hi, I tried to edit gps.conf file as mentioned. But whether I changed the supl_port to 7275 it remains 7276 it asks me to save the changes but doesnt save

Probably /system is not set for read/write.
Ill make ya a Flashable zip tonight if you give me the country you want from that list.

I don't suppose I could request a flashable zip for New Zealand (Oceania) gps settings?
I flashed from 2.3 to Cyanogen 10 then 10.1 and now have no gps when I did initially have it working in 2.3

Hi,
Thanx for the reply Moped I am using root explorer and set the r/o to r/w and opened the conf file in text editor.. I can edit the file but changes wont stick
I am living in sri lanka which comes under Asia — asia.pool.ntp.org Sri Lanka — lk.pool.ntp.org
Thank you again.
EDIT: I edited the gps.conf file using the es explorer (with root access enabled). there is a new file created inside root explorer gps.conf.bak and theres nothing inside gps.conf file (inside root explorer).
BUT gps.conf file (inside es explorer) has the changes I made. I rebooted but still the same
EDIT (update): Set the permission READ for all USER, GROUP, OTHERS and voila gps.conf file has the changes
Hope these info will help anyone having this issue

I can take care of it tonight.
If anyone wants to do it themselves its not hard.
1. Download and install a program called 7zip
2.. Download any of my GPS fixes
3. Right click on it (GPS fix). Browse thru 7zip to the /system/etc folder and drag the gps.conf file out to desktop (or somewhere).
4. Dont close the 7zip yet
5. Open the gps.conf file you just extracted and edit the NTP line to suit your needs. Save it.
6. With the archive still open in 7zip drag the edited gps.conf file into the /system/etc folder in 7zip. Overright old file.
7. Close zip. Its ready to transfer to your phone and flash it.
...You may be abnle to edit the gps.conf file right from 7zip (cant test Im at work right now)
I can always help someone with it. Just though peopl would like to try it out themselves too.

One can make a custom flashable zip right on his/her phone.
1. Use a file explorer which has archiving function (I have Solid Explorer) and unzip any flashable zip you want to change.
2. Make your changes.
3. Compress to zip again. IMPORTANT: you must ONLY include the content itself and NOT the uppest folder (if your zip has two folders, META-INF and System, first select the two and compress these two in a single archive). Otherwise it won't be cwm flashable.
To change the gps.conf file on the go use Faster GPS (NOT Faster fix) free in Playstore.

Moped...i tried the other zip; No good lock on this one. Flashed Custom zip file and changed settings in Angry GPS as instructed. No lock..no satellite signals. Reverting back to old setup..using your US version, which worked perfect.

[Q] I changed provider and the simtoolkit is not present

I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

Check 10 times and I'm not in airplane mode as I can call en be called. Only data requires some settings for this provider and must be setup via the simtoolkit as per their instuctions.

I installed it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also original rooted kernel didn't make a change.
When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

Hmmm. Try to delete both. And wait me to upload deodexed file.
Edit: Try to delete both apk and odex file. And to push this file from attachemt to system/app. (not to install)

With sd-maid I'm now able to see the app, but when trying to start it gives a "Not possible!" message...

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

Ok. Will do that tomorrow.
For now I use the Wifi hotspot functionality from my company phone.
I need to do the following:
Choose Roaming services.
Choose Selecteer Mode.
Choose Manueel.
Choose International.
Simcard gets updated.
If you know any app that can do the following then I'm all ears
Thanks and I'll update tomorrow!

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!
