[Q] Gps APOCALYPSE rom - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone and thanks to itasoulas for this great rom!
Since I was on MIRACLE I had a problem with the gps (at most 2 fix satellites) but I solved by deleting the /data/gps/secgps.conf and using this gps.conf (I live in NYC):
NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.north-america.pool.ntp.org
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Now this does not work anymore on APOCALYPSE...
I remember that there was another file in the data/gps folder...maybe someone on MIRACLE can post it so I can try.
Suggestions?

Edit: Gps fixed after 8 minutes. Not good but at least it works...

Have you followed these instructions?
Finishing GPS Set-Up
1. go to system/etc/gps.conf
2. use root explorer, long press that file and open with text editor
3. replace "europe" with your region according to this guide
Code:
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.africa.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.pool.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.pool.pool.ntp.org
4. Save file, no permissions needs to be changed. The .bak file can be safely deleted

Yes I replaced europe with north-america, tryed also with fasterGPS, but fix is so slow...anyway I don't need GPS right now but I'd like to solve it . I'm sure that with other roms (also with miracle) there's another file in the data/gps folder but don't know if it's crucial.

Have you tried the Lagloose's GPS Fix yet?

Try "fastergps "
app from play store, it does the job for u.

Why use an additional app if you can just correct your inbuilt system.

I tried fastergps but it just changes the values in the gps.conf file. You can edit the file by yourself.

once u configure your gps ,you can remove that app...btw it was an advice for noobies who relly dnt know anything abt this ..

NM, I have a co-worker with an Evo. I made a backup of his and sent it to me. It is not what I expected, it makes you access your account on the internet. I was hoping for something like Verizon's app.

You have to use a file manager. Go to the market and install Estrongs File Manager or any other you perfer. Once you have that installed. Download the Sprint Zone application onto your sd card on your phone. Open up the File manager you installed and locate the Sprint Zone file you downloaded. Click on it and install it to your phone. Easy as that, O also if you have not checked the install unknown sources yet it should send you to that menu before you install.

I am not positive about that try it. It would not be any problem.
السلام عليكم
Fantastic! It does work!
Finally, The Arabic fonts are connected properly every where in my device.
I actually did a little investigation a while back when I noticed a lot of people are crediting Arabic fixes using this method to themselves while it seems the oldest thread was posted by an American user named "madmack" here at XDA, but I did not understand his installation instructions.
So props to you for referring the credits to it's rightful owner and many many thanks.

i dont know but i dont think its gonna make any diffrence. Iam not sure though. i just dont want to flash sbf again if it failed:S. If you are sure about it i will do it
It makes alot of difference if you put the wrong permissions , it has to be 775 or as the pic of the choices of permissions show (it has to be exact) , maybe try one more time and lets us know, as i don't want to mess up my 1.8.3 right now
ok i will try one more time as soon as i get home, i will let you guys know
does not work on 4.1.38

Upload it somewhere, so anyone can have a look at it. Maybe you just deleted needed files or took a wrong updater-script

You are not supposed to change the updater-script at all! I already updated that in the Build How To. Simply take one from another ROM and it should work fine Kitchens updater-script is not compatible with our device. Maybe dsixda will update it once
i know
it is great for htc phones
but one thing
i like singapour v20 roms
other roms updater scripts work fine with v20f and before...
but v20g and v20h dont. it has bugs.
wifi gives error
fcs with system apps etc.
i think something changed after 20f
and i tried latest v20 roms
they have bugs too
such as tantrums made this fail (i think)
he made 20h flashable zip
but it has same bugs which i have
can you look into this?
it is tantrums's rom

And you made data, cache and dalwik wipe before flashing it? Be sure to make it, otherwise it will NEVER work properly...

Here's a guide to cook a rom:
1-Download any rom you want
2-Put it on your phone
3-Boil some water and throw your phone into it.
P. S. This is the fast way.......
The slow way needs a little bit more effort, like finding the manuals and actually read them
(sorry, just couldn't resist)

yes..
Just taking a previous updater script won't always work. You need to edit it manually. The format is very readable and straight forward.
Look at a nandroid from the ROM your using to look at symlinks,permissions etc.

Is there any GPS fix? Where I can read something on that?

In another forum I find a fix for europe, in system/etc has two archives: "gps.conf" and "gps_brcm_conf.xml" if you change with my archives you can connect to GPS satellites.

Just curious where you found this? Giving credit is always the polite thing to do. I found a guide from cstayton to modify it. I will be including the fixed apk in the next version of XDK if cstayton allows it.
Also thank you for sharing this.
will this work on the 4.4.4 update ?

Ok so @iamthedj and everyone else using this did you remove tetheringautomation.apk and add tetheringprovision.apk instead or do you have both of them? I don't use tethering but I want to make sure I have this correct for xdk 1.1

I removed it and just added the new apk changed permission and it was good to go
Just to make sure, this modded file will allow for unlimited data tether on the S5?
My wife just upgraded her S3 to the S5 and got spoiled between being grandfathered in the $30 unlimited data plan and running CM11 with the ability to tether her tablet.

OK: feeling as stupid as always:
Using ES file explorer (yes have the extreme rom finally running good, and verified I have root, safesurf, su, and checkroot).
I don't see a systemroot folder.
I did turn root explorer on in the es file explorer, and show hidden files.
Even went and installed ROOT browser app from g-play.
even gave it root.
AM I CRAZY? I dont see a systemroot/ directory.
and yes, I know that / is root, and stuff might (in *nix) be in the /bin, or local, or whatever directories, and I tried all of them.
I have
/system/app
NO /system/apps directory !!!
/sys/firmware (empty)
/root (empty)
/sys/kernel
I'm on a SM-G900A (AT&T) with the Extreme debloat v2.3 RC naked touchwiz build
with 4.4.2
please tell me I'm not going crazy, or forgetting 30 years of UNIX administration!
When I try to install it comes back as app not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed.
I had previously tried using the exposed apk but it did not work for me. Any ideas?
