[Q] Where can I find a fully compatible CM9.1 gps fix - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've been using CM9.1 for a while now with stock kernel and jw4 radio. This combinaison seems to work best with my galaxysmtd international...
I'M mainly seeking for extreme stability and relatively good battery life.
My only remaining problem would be the gps... The coverage is very very poor (unable to fix on a cloudy day, and it does not even work when I'm in my car!)
Thanks in advance for your time
Regards,

[Q] Experts needed. Since 2.3.3, Wifi signal tend to be low.

Can someone give me a good answer about what happened to WiFi signal in 2.3.3
I used to have maximal WiFi signal when working with 2.2.1
After installing Darky's v10.1 - 2.3.3 ROM, WiFi signal tend to be low (1-2 bar only)
Other laptops / phones (not android) report maximal signal of WiFi.
I tried almost all possible modems - I almost sure it's not related to Modem.
Can someone provide a good answer what happened ?
Is it a report problem only ? Is it a ROM issue ?
(I cannot find a good answer anywhere)

i flashet the two of ics the teamhacksung's CM9 and Team ICSSGS RC4.2 and my wifi is going very slow example the youtube videos ar going very slow !!!and no not my wifi is slow!!!!what i can doo with this problem!!!!
Try using another internet conexion in order to determinate if is a phone problem or not, if it is flash another modem, I recomend the KG3, it works really good, stable, but with a little less signal streng, nothing to worry, not noticiable in most cases.

[Q] New LG o2x in Canada - frustrated with stock ROM. Options? Suggestions?

Hi everybody!
I see here a lot of people from Europe but I'm in Canada and hope for some help.
I just got LG o2x and trying to use it with cheap data plan in Ontario through 7/11 Speakout.
First problem - they filter traffic so I have to use proxy. And even then phone is really slow and sometimes even market has to be reloaded couple times... My connection drops sometimes inside the factory I work in and then doesn't pick up... I guess you know.
I've read about people saying that this phone has great hardware but poor software
I already rooted my phone (to get autoproxy running).
Now I need to put custom ROM and kernel...
That's where it gets confusing. I have Barnes&Nobles Nook Color with CM7.1 on it. And I like it. Also I have Acer A500 with stock HC3.2. But I'm still dummy in Android
From what I understand I can put CM7.1 (Thanatos2x v5.1 or Temasek's Kang), MoDaCo. Right? Any other suggestions? But then there is tonns of kernels... How to choose? I just need basic features to surf net and create hot spot for my kids tablets
And another question is BASEBANDS. What are they and should I change it or not? I'm in Canada but getRIL says I have:
RIL 0725 (V20I, Italy)
Baseband 1035.21_20110725.
Thanks for any suggestions or pointing to right direction!
Aleks
You can flash CM7 temasek's KANG on your phone (link in sig)
A kernel I would recommend you to use is vadonkas ETaNa Kernel. (link in sig) It's a great kernel with good performance and battery life.
You don't necessarily have to change your baseband. Only when you really have problems with signal or call quality. A baseband is more or less a driver which regulates signal etc. Changing your BB requires a full wipe, therefore I wouldn't recommend it. If you do have bad signal, you can mostly solve this problem by installing a matching RIL with your BB. GetRIL app will tell you which ones match and which one don't. If this doesn't help, then you should change your BB.
Or, you can read a bit and not spam the fora..

Most stable ROM/kernel and reception/3g problems

I'am currently using Darky's ROM Extreme, the newest version. And well, from the moment I started using it my internet & reception started to work very poorly. Connectivity to 3g is dying almost always (And I live in LONDON. How's that possible?) and reception bar's jump from one to max frequently. I am not quite sure that this is Darky's fault but well - when I was running stock ROM + speedmod it was just perfect.
So yeah two questions from me:
1) What's the best ROM in the matters of 3g and reception? It also need's to have the tether function (all ROM's have that right?) 'cause I'm using that quite a lot.
2) If not because of the ROM, any idea where from my problems might be coming from?
Try putting in #9900# in keypad
Disable fast dormecy and exit (may need to do this everytime you restart phone)
or
search the #197328640# code on here I use Ario Rom as I dont like ICS type roms
Its stable fast and no issues with 3g or wifi..
..and it has tether w/semaphore
See if that helps.

I guess the idea is to test your own skills in modding your phone and see, what the different developers would like us to have. After a few installs, you are hooked at getting your daily fix of new ROM and will suffer withdrawal symptoms, if no new ROM are a available for even a short period!!
Even if all the latest ROMs are not fully functional, they still add many new features to our phone.
I have become very enthusiastic about my phone again and I have had it for almost two years now. The longest time I have ever had a mobile phone.
What also is interesting is that you are able to try so many new apps, that only works if your phone is rooted.
So the benefits are many and if you are not satisfied, there are very good guides on how to go back to stock.
Good luck

Hardware Acceleration in CM9 for LG O2X is not working as of now (Needs LG to release an ICS based kernel).
Due to which:
- Video Recording doesn't work.
- Will not be able to play HD videos.
- Some of the system apps will start to lag after some usage (Phone & Contacts).
thank you . i hope the promised official ICS update will reach soon .

Ok, so CM 9 and CM 10 has the following problems:
1) No Hardware acceleration which means:
a) You CAN'T use your video camera at all. Now, I know that some says that you can use Videocam illusion, but that app can record only very low quality videos, which I found to be pretty useless (a lot of CPU use for that low quality).
b) Google Chrome is not supported due to it's need to access the GPU, but this is not so important due to other very good browsers
c) You will experience scrolling jittering. That being said when you will try to change between photos in the gallery (usually there is the bigest problem), or between songs in some media players by swaping on the screen, you will see something like the photo or album art is going back from where it came, but the result is good: changing the photo / song. The only problem is the visual one.
d) Gameloft games, and especially those with a little video at the begining will not work until you delete those clips from the instalation folder.
2) No radio application => no more FM radio for you. Wi-Fi (or a really well data plan) resolves this thing by using it for Tune-in Radio, a very good application for radio. I prefer to use it even on GB roms, because of the very good sound quality regardless the standard radio that sometimes loses the signal.
3) On CM 10 there are a few more bugs like no automatic brightness, or battery drain due to Wi-fi. Regardless all theese bugs, I found CM 10 from ParanoidAndroid to be a way much better rom than any other around here. Keeping the Wi-Fi off I don't experience any battery drain (more than that my battery last longer than anytime) and my favorite no data connection lost (I don't know if this was a carrier problem or not, but before switching to CM 10 i had a lot of data connection problems).
4) Not to be forgotten the lag on installing applications from Google Play Store. I found this problem on almost every single rom I've tried, and I tried almost all of them. I think I found only one or two roms w/o this problem, but being a maniac for the latest updates I've chosen the ICS and JB roms instead of a very stable one
5) No GPS working on CM 10
Now it's your decision. If you can live w/o video camera and gps and try to not get angry at every scroll bug you should really try the new CM 9 and 10 roms

I know this may sound weird to you, but: I can survive without any ROM.
It's not that your life depends on your smartphone, does it?
Just be happy with what you got.
