Satelite Fix for GPS on Android 10 - Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

*Hello guys..i know everyone has gps issues with any Android 10 custom rom so i found a way to fix this issue easily so just follow the steps carefully
Requirements:
Rooted Device
File Manager
Steps:
I have modified the gps.config file to lock up much faster and also to update with movement in real time
1.download the modified gps.config and copy to your vendor/etc and paste it
2.Make sure the permission of the file is*rw-r--r--
3.reboot the device
4.Use the app gps status and toolbox and follow the steps
1.Open app> tools> manage A-GPS state>Reset
2.Open app> tools> manage A-GPS state>Download
3.use GPS status to start fixing satelites
5.reboot the device
6.done now you can use gps like a charm

I did the steps and didn't fix it. One question: Is it necessary to always use GPS Tools or can I uninstall it after the steps?
I used it with Google Maps + GPS Tools and only with Google Maps, but the result is the same.
Thank you anyway.

Can anyone make a installation guide for Tomtom 5 on WM5 ???

I have difficlut time to install tomtom 5 on wm5. I got windows error at the setup loader starting to install the program to PPC.
(Which is at "select language -> select install application -> show a list that things will to install -> and click next " after click that "next" icon, i got that error windows, the error message is "Tomtom setup application has encontered a problem and needs to close.")
if i can not install the 5.0 on wm5 , how can i upgrade to 5.10? i have been tried many ways to install it. some one post here said to copy 4 cab files to SD card. install one by one. but i can not find where i can start the tomtom 5 after i finish installation via one by one.
can anyone make full installation guide for how to install tomtom 5 on wm5, how to install the 5.10 upgarde package? how to setup tomtom 5 + BLUEtooth GPS reciver + Wm5 to work?
i think alot of people here still have installation and configuration problem about tomtom 5 via wm5.
hope to see the guide soon, Thanks
Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is nvapp. Within that you'll find a subdirectory called app. Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!

[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.

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?

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...

Easy fix after nothing worked
A lot of people are missing a simple trick.
It is well known to try clearing cache but most importantly the date and time is correct.
BUT you MUST have the date and time correct over your mobile network, not your wifi network, for it to be definitely correct.
SO switch off wifi and connect mobile data to get correct dat time set.
Use Google DNS address in PC ethernet settings , restart router.
Than in phone clear playstore data and cache,clear downlaod manager data and cache,
Restart phone
download any app from playstore, it will wont show any downloading status till 5 mins but will start automatically by then. good luck.
not helping
Guys, i have tried deleting hosts file , putting # in front of ip address and any other possible way available over internet but not able to access playstore or google apps by my wifi although I can access them using my cellular data. Why is this happenning:crying:

[Q] Play Services FC on high accuracy

Hey guys,
Recently a new bug has appeared on 4.4 roms, after updating the google services it gets force close on high accuary (with only gps its working fine). Anybody has an idea how to solve the problem? Other thing is after updating services there's no deep sleep (still mostly on 4.4 roms). Hope we can find solution for these problems! Thanks in Sadvance

Hello my friend. I faced up this annoying problem. the problem solved after i followed these suggestions fromTPD-21(post 414 ) . because i found it complicated to make it on a already Installed rom i made a clean installation and i followed the instructions from the step 3. Works on any kit kat rom for our phone and is permanent solution.
With the last Google Play Services update (8.3), the issue is solved
EDIT
After a few weeks, the problem was back again. I solved it (permanently, I hope) by taking the following steps:
1. Download modified libjavacore.so from here and put it on your external SD
2. Make a nandroid backup (just in case)
3. Open any root file explorer, go to "system/lib" and make a backup copy of the original libjavacore.so
4. Copy the NEW libjavacore.so in "system" (not in "lib" yet) and change permissions in -rw-r-r- (same as the old file)
5. Copy (don't cut/paste!) the NEW libjavacore.so with modified permissions in "system/lib" and overwrite the old one
6. Reboot
7. Delete the modified libjavacore.so still present in system
This worked for me. I'm on CarbonROM 4.4.4 with CWM with the last Play Services update (8.3.01)
