Galnet Miui v2 Compass Problems

Hey, i am currently on Galnet's Miui v2 and i have been on Miui ever since MCG v1. My problem is even though these were all great roms that my compass seems to be not working. I installed the Compass App from the market and North is everywhere expect in the North
I am aware that the changelog of Galnet Miui v2 indicates that the compass and accelerometer should be working flawlessly but mine seems to be defect.
Has anybody an idea how to fix this?

I have the same problem with CM7 on which is MIUI based. I tried to calibrate it few times, but it didn't helped, so i think it's a bug in CM7.

Hi!
I have installed Galnet MIUI v2 rom and have the same problem with compass. And my GPS can't find my precise position, the accuracy is about 1500-2000m. I'm from Europe and does anebody knows what kind of modey is used in this rom. If it's not european, then how can i swith to one. Btw, does anybody knowswhere can i get google maps?
Tnx!

Google maps? On the market if u don't have it, then you'll have to flash gapps.

And you can find more modems here. They should work for miui too. I'm from europe too and i'm using the cyanogenmod default - jv9. Just flash them in cwm... Try more modems and you'll see which works better for you. And to know what modem u r using: go to settings -> about phone and look at baseband version.

Tnx!
I've found .zip file with gapps? but it must be installed throug Recovery vode, is there any way to install them like normal apps, i just don't want to mess things up. And i just need the goole maps and Locator, is it possile to install only them without the rest? Could you tell me about the modem, should i install the jvp or jvo if i'm in europe, or the default one is fine. If i go everything right, then the modem should be installde through CWR?

Gapps:
You have to install it through recovery mode, it shouldn't mess anyting up, but if you are scared, you can still do a nandroid backup. Install this one. If you don't want to install all, you can try playing with the zip, but i won't recommend you to do so or you can try to delete the apks from /system/app. But SGS has enough space for apps, so there's no reason why to do that. I thing you also need Market...not only google maps and locator...at least for installing google maps and locator .
Just flash the zip though CWM and install desired apps from market...
Modem:
I'm from Europe too and i use cm default - jv9. Try more modems and compare signal, battery life, etc... Then use the one which worked best for you and post it here for others . And yes, flash it from CWM as usual.

This seems as it's a network provided location, not the gps one. Is your gps indicator (in status bar...) blinking? If so, wait 'till it stops blinking and then you'll have gps provided location... This can take few minutes

Thank you, that relly helped a lot! I guess i'm going to stik to jvk for a couple of days to see how it works. I'm using galnets miui v2, it has market app and gmail, that's why i was askig about installing gapps separately, though they could cause issues. Going to give it a try. Tnx again!

So you don't need to flash gapps, just install desired apps from market...And if i helped a lot, you can hit my thx button

I know that, but they aren't shown in the market.

To get back on topic here, has anyone gotten the compass to work? I don't get a compass reading at all. I have tried re-flashing the JVP modem, the compass still doesn't give a reading.

nope, can't fix it

Got it, found this googl app in the web. After installation icons maps latitude, laces, and navigation apperared. Exept navigation(for some reason it stuks on navigation avaliability check) everything works fine. But my GPS still can't fund me precise position, it jumps for one place to anotheraround the place where i am. Should i flash another modem? Maybe you couls adviseme how to fix this.
Tnx.

I would try different modems (flash in CWM).

[Q] MiniCM7 2.1.6 compass problem

Hi
when I use compass application it shows the north cca correct, but in google maps it doesn't work properly at all, the arrow points in various directions, but just not in the right one. Other people seem to have this problem with minicm7 roms too and I am wondering, if there is still no fix or workaround about this?
No one knows?
Everything else in the ROM is working great for me, battery consumption is alright, just this one culprit

Hi!
I have the same problem on MiniCM7 2.1.6 with nAa 8.b kernel. Full wipe didn't help.
Any ideas?

I do have the exact same configuration as you, including kernel and also I did full wipe, tried changing different settings to no success.
From what I have read and as far as I can understand, it is cm7 roms problem, so full wipe or anything, what we as users can do, will not help. Devs must create some patch, imho.

looks like its a common issue with the rom!
i actually noticed its been displaced 90degrees anticlockwise!
dont know about others! but thats wat i noticed!

There is a working patch!

[Q]GPS problem

I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance

try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

The GPS doesn't work and I can't acces the external SD card through the phone(I can't listen to the music or view the photos on the card, neither can I browse through the files. I tried formatting but it fixed nothing)
If these issues are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which almost everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance

I tried it but I don't like...

This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.

Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.

Xperia X8 wi-fi not working(JB Mini Project)

Hello guys,
I am brand new here,as after 3 years of owning a X8 i decided to jump to other ROM,because i was bored of the simple design of his menu and i was so frustrated to stay back with android market when my friends had messenger for facebook e.g.,i had to refresh again and again my opera..and much more apps and games i would like to play.So,i decided to start searching for new ROMs,and i found MIUI,but i wasnt able to find a stable version to dl for my phone.Then i found JB Mini Project,I succeeded on installing it on X8 but there is one thing that wont work in every version of JB i have tried!THE WI-FI!It is really frustrating for me!I am so begginner to those things,but i understand that its not only me that will have this problem and that developers might be working on it right now(I am 3D designer and i know about beta versions of things,even I have to release again and again my creation because of a bug),but i really hope someone had this problem too and found a fix on it..I tried a fix i found in forums with Titanium Backup,but nothing...
Anyone knows anything..just help me out with this.:crying:
Thanks in advance guys!:cyclops:

What wifi problem do you have? Unable to detect Adhoc connection?
Have You tried this Kernel + Rom ? (All JB rom is unable to scan adhoc wifi. Except if you make changes to the source and compile it yourself)
If you want to surf the internet but with not using wifi and using a cable, This is a Post for you.

use back stock ROM (just kidding

Maybe the rom + kernel combination is wrong or the rom is just being buggy.
I just personally liked nAa's work because he release a stable version of every product.
If you want to change into the recommended rom that I just told you;
1. Flash the latest kernel (06)
2. Follow instruction on the kernel post. (/system wipe at recovery before flashing a rom & etc)
3. Flash the rom. Followed by the GAPPS
4. As it said, this is my recommendation steps. I do not guarantee your satisfactory

[DISCUSSION] Fixing the OB's softkeys

Hi,
I just wanted to create a centralized thread for all the discussion surrounding the work of fixing the softkeys.
Many users are reporting, including myself, about the softkeys not working properly after some time on the ICS roms.
My 25 cents:
Is it a kernel issue? ROM issue? I have tried multiple ROMs but none have fixed the issue.
Multiple kernels tried too, to no avail. I suspect it is a software issue though. It's as if the buttons go into some state of sleep mode in the software, and after a few minutes come back for a few milliseconds. Just my thoughts into it.

Sergio

After facing the issue, i smartflashed gingerbread, there also softkeys not worked.

It is a kernel issue for sure. Worked great on GB, but I think they messed up the driver in ICS. Have you tried my blue kernel already? Dont know if I fixed it there, but it is worth a try. Or compile your own kernel, but use the GB Softkey files. Should work just fine with some mods here and there
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app

Has anyone successfully fixed this issue?
I am facing the same problem after flashing ICS on my OB.

i fixed it by replacing the digitizer, i had to order 2 cause the first arrived with the same problem.

Maybe

I don't know about that though, mine works excellent through the CM key test. Just fails in the OS. And I can't use the kernel by Nooby, I'm on Nameless KK. But before that I tried IZS, GB, 2.1, etc to no avail.

I'm gonna research this and try and fix it in the Aeroi Kernel
