Gps fix(improvement) - HD2 Android NAND Development

Having seen so many people with gps probs on the last few roms i've had and most can not be bothered to read a few pages back when i've posted something,i've decided to create a thread(apologise if there's something like it elsewhere) with a fix for some and improvements for others.I've tried this with 8 people and all have been successful and happy.It aint 100% and christmas aint come early,but if you don't have ago,you'll never know.Sometimes it's the rom or the area you live or more than likely the way you flashed the rom that causes the gps probs.My findings is that your phone finds more sattelites and the accuracy in feet is more accurate and ever since i've done this on my last 6 roms,i've had 3 or 4 bars signal as to the usual none i've been getting.I don't wanna here it's in the wrong forum or anything like that as it aint a theme or app,it aint general,it aint a question,it's quite common on alot of rom so i've put it in the rom thread on purpose
I'd love for some people to have ago for me and test it for me and report there results(if any),all positive or negative posts welcome
use root explorer or something like it of your choice and go to system/etc/gps.conf,long press and choose open in text editor and add this to the bottom........
GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0
GPS1_XTRA_AUTO_DOWNLOAD_ENABLED=1
GPS1_XTRA_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL=24
GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT=2
you only have to add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0,but people have added all 4
then save then delete gps.conf.bak and reboot AND ENJOY
EDIT: forgot to mention that you should edit the top line with the area you live.......
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
I've changed mine to NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org as i live in uk lol

Thank you for your work. Test

i've tried it but i had a few bugs,maybe others didn't but i did,also my fix(attempt) is an easy straight forward thing to try,loadsa people don't like flashing things such as kernels etc or to be honest,they can't be bothered cos they'll do something wrong and get nand kernel open failed more than likely,i see your link is worth looking at,but i did look at it 2 months ago lol and it aint compatible with every rom(be aware of that)so there is need for this,maybe not for yourself,that's fair enough,but my fix aint just for yourself is it,but as i origionally posted,TRY IT,THEN KNOCK IT,THAT'S ALL I ASK

This is for Tytung's GPS libraries that you quote. Even Tytung has mentioned these values on this thread
Tytung said:
Some ROMs suffer from the "GPS off-and-on" bug.
Those ROMs can shutdown the gpsOne engine properly when turning off GPS setting using gps_cleanup(), but they cannot restart the gpsOne engine again because gps_init() is never called when turning GPS setting on after turning it off.
It's a Gingerbread bug which is fixed by applying this commit from the source code.
If you cannot modify the source code, the workaround is to set/add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0 into gps.conf to avoid doing full cleanup.

im aware of this,all i have done is put this fix in simple terms as alot of ppl aren't the best with flashin and fixes or don't do it right and the developer doesn't get the credit they deserve cos ppl can't or don't read and follow instructions properly........SO SHOOT ME FOR TRYIN TO SIMPLIFY AND MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR OTHERS

Hey, I said that in response to the earlier post, not on the thread as general.
Actually I like this thread spreading awareness. Keep up the good work, but please refer everybody to tytungs thread also as most of the chefs are using these libraries.

[DEV] ION 1.6 (Donut)

Disclaimer: For devs only. Updating to it will wipe your device. I am not responsible of any damage of any sort or data loss or anything.
Google Ion 1.6 for HTC Hero.
This project aims at getting the stock Google Ion Rom to run on HTC Hero. No Rosie or any HTC apps will be ever added to that rom. Once fully functional it could be used as a base for cookers.
Current release: Lox-ION-1.0b3 (logcat)
What works:
- place, receive calls
- wifi
- Market
- GPRS
What does not do far
- bluetooth (logcat seems it is relative to libc.so - Uncompatible with current kernel ?)
- trackball
- compass & accelerometer (with akmd > logcat - with ak8973 > logcat )
- GPS
- camera
Note: devs please test hack and share if you fix anything or have any idea
Great! I hope the rest will be fixed soon!
I second that!
Great to hear it.
are you working on the hardware that doesn't work? and whats the progress.
you forgot to mention that the camera doesnt work aswell
Just flashed it, gonna see what I can get working(if anything).
I'd like to try it - but can you go back by using Nandroid - or reflashing Modaco's ROM ( I'm on 2.3 )

yes you can
I dont know how gecka feels but could we try and keep this thread informative
Just did a bit of snooping around and the GPS does work, you sure you checked it right? I did a bit of tinkering but none of it was related to the GPS at all. Trackball I'm still not sure about, the keylayouts have the same keycodes but still doesn't seem to want to work. Accelerometer just needs the permission to be granted to execute, except I'm not to sure how to do that cause I'm a bit new to linux. As for the bluetooth, don't get me started, its giving me a headache lol xD
hey i m using this rom and its working beautiful...man nice job and the trackball blinks when a phone is ringing ....but doesnt blind at the time of reminders....but still great job...
What about headphone detection? I know with the other Ion ROMs, when you plugged in headphones, it went unnoticed unless you downloaded an app to manually switch the audio over.
For devs only!
Hi guys,
Please, consider the [DEV] in the subject: this thread is for devs only.
If you don't give any fix, just follow the thread by subscribing to it and don't polute it! Thanks.
For now this build is buggy, you'll certainly find more and more bugs, witch I don't care for now as I want main functionality to work first (bluetooth, gps etc...)

Good work gecka,
I'm downloading to have a lookie and install now, see if I can have a go at the trackball.
Can I ask a question though, whats actually involved in fixing these issues?? Is it blind luck playing with config settings and that, or are you getting debug output?

Well, both in fact. The only debug output I get is from logcat and device logs.
Some issues might also be tight to kernel version.

Market Apps
Hey all.
We've got a problem with the Donut Market over in the Vogue forums. In Donut, when we load up the Market, there are only 20-30 apps available. Going back to Cupcake builds, the problem persists. However, logging in with a fresh Gmail account gets rid of the problem (in Cupcake.)
So far, my guess as to the cause of this is that Google's server have taken note of any "pirates" accessing the as-of-yet unreleased Donut market, and locked them out. However, I don't see any complaints along those lines here.
So, my question to all of you is, while you say the Donut Market is working, do you still seem to have access to all the applications you did in Cupcake?

ok, anyways.. i have been pouring over smali files for days, trying different files in lib,bin and from looking at the log, my current guess is that the issue lies with the recording of audio when you hit record, which it runs into an error when it tries and crashes the apk.. i dont know if thats correct and im not sure what needs to be done to fix it, but thats why we have a dev thread for eh?

well, who knows? maybe the different version of the camcorder could fix it? who knows until we get it working...
i think people are more likely to be using the camera so if we get a camera,it will be a big breakthrough and then the camcorder will probably come after you figured out the camera,keep up the hard work
Keep up the good work ! And this thread deserves to be in the stickies !
Finally, I'm glad to see that you've taken the initiative to get this moving. Can this also apply to the currently non-working camera that appears in the new Gingerbread Sense build by iMilka (and for other future builds)?

well, who knows, what i would like to see is people posting logs from alogcat at the time the try to run the camera (if it fc's as soon as you open it) or when they hit record (if it fc's there)
i dont know what the issue is with the gb camera (does it fc on open?)
but i wouldn't mind if this say, became the thread where we work out camera issues on all builds
and if enough people posted log snippets, just maybe we can find a commonality and that would head us in the right direction..
as it stands im figuring that the issue lies in the kernel or the libs, with the kernel looking more likely, im figuring it needs updated code to be compatible with the newer cameras and more then likely if we can get the newer camera working here, then the gb camera would also..
logcat
here i have attached the logcat. this is my first time. so im not sure if ok. i have started the logcat and then i click the camera then it did soft reset and reboot i close the logcat.

what camera apk is this and what rom?
and do this when you post these, look at the time on your watch or computer when you hit record and mention that. as long as its set the same as your device (your pc should have its clocked auto synced just like your phone so its times should match). this way there wont be a need to do a bunch of fishing for the error in the log.. oh, and set your log type to long under alogcat preferences..
edit: ok i see this is the gingerbread rom..
and wow lots of permission errors and a java failed binder transaction then all your services die..
and another odd, it seems to be connecting to htc database servers to check for updates..

[FIXED] Compass not working in GingerBread rom's

Hello,
I have been trying out some GB roms lately and during the testing i saw that the compass was not showing north anymore.
If i turn the phone a little, the compass is swaying somewhere between NE and NW, but it never points north.
So i went back to FroYo roms, but now i have it there also.
I have been reading several messages fro different GB roms that people are having the same problem.
I also used the recommended radio's for the GB roms.
Since my AuraxTSense (FroYo) rom now also has this problem, it looks like a radio problem.
Can someone confirm this problem and tell me the solution or tell me the radio that is working?
Eric
Edit: See my post on page 2. There is a snq kernel fix for this problem.
Well, i have been testing some further.
Radios (old or new) make no difference.
Froyo rom (Aurax 8.4) and recalibrating the compass the old way, did make it work again.
Installing a new rom (GingerBread that is) and everything was wrong again. The radio version did not make any difference.
So i'm going back to Aurax and hope that i can recalibrate it again to let it work.
For other's with this problem:
Try the old way of calibrating the compass.
Make at least 2 figures 8, but do it slowly. It should take at least 2 seconds for every 8 you make.
Then turn the phone around 360 degrees along the length axe of the phone, also at least 2 times and 2 seconds per turn
Then turn 360 degrees along the sides axe (width), also at least 2 times and 2 seconds per turn.
If this did not work, repeat the last 2 ways of turning (length and width axe) but do it faster and about 6 to 8 times per direction.
This worked for me (and i hope it will work again in a few minutes).
Eric
Looks like North is up and South is down. The compass is now a "bubble" app.

I read a few days back that some Chinese Rom's had fixed it (HiAPK or something like that), but i just read that they also still have this problem.
So i will have to wait untill this is really fixed, because i need the compass for finding directions etc.
it seems to be a general gingerbread problem, other devices are affected too:

In GB most of the files are not found.

Since yesterday there is a fix for the Compass problem in the GB rom's
It is a new kernel from snq and works for (at least) most GB rom's and probably all GB rom's.

[ROM/PORT/KANG?] 24-03-2012 | Edited Zips Creamed Glacier + IceColdInsomnia

This build was edited by me (mainly for my personal use), based off of Zips Creamed Glacier's 3.11 release, but contains fixes I pulled from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1.
I don't normally start dev threads, so bare with me (I'm no dev)
What's new:
- Practically everything that's included in Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11 - includes, FFC unlock, Working games (Draw Something does work!), mdj's kernel and so forth.
- I fixed the weather/geolocation issues found in 3.11
- I fixed the USB mount issue in 3.11 (you couldn't mount as a mass storage device while the phone was on [gave you two options that didn't work])
- I fixed the full signal bars issue (reported full bars at all times you'd have service)
- Also included the romcontrol.apk from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1 and the settings.apk (for those who wanted ROM control settings but had to use the widget shortcuts to use them, you no longer have to as it's included in the settings)
- Replaced the systemui.apk with IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1's (you can haz 4g icons!)
- Replaced Trebuchet with Apex Launcher (This was part of my personal liking, Apex Launcher is the best ICS launcher IMO, try it out)
- May be forgetting something else...
All of the fixes mentioned above were fixed by pulling their respective files from IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1
* Don't ask any of the devs for wifi calling, as it's assumed to not work until T-Mo updates wifi calling for ICS (which should be whenever a T-Mo phone officially has ICS) or unless a dev performs some sort of magic ritual and get it working and stable

I'm not sure if this info is correct, but after snooping around in other device forums, like always, a dev put in his OP that the DSPManager isn't really configured for ICS but instead for CM7.

Basically all that you would find in zips' build, I think the only app I took out was trebuchet and the only app I added was apexlauncher. If not, I can fix them later.

I was actually wondering why this wasn't done sooner, but since I know so little about how development works, I kept my mouth shut. It seemed like such a logical thing to do.
systemui.apk gives you the 4G icon
BUMP^^^
Downloading now will report, thank you
Update: working well smooth no fcs yet, face unlock works sometimes.

Lol, I started on this as soon as zips released 3.11 cause I wanted to fix games and try face unlock but he had the issue with the full signal bars and stuff.

[ROM] MIUI Port

This ROM is in no way suitable for daily use and is only shared so that other fellow developers can take a look and maybe provide fixes to one or multiple things on the "not working" list.
Take it as a very early proof of concept.
ROM DOWNLOAD: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554238
What I did to get this far...
1. I took the MI3W miui-germany ROM
2. I unpacked the MI3W's ROM
3. I unpacked the boot.img of the MI3W ROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
4. I patched the fstab.qcom and init*.rc files to match the Find 7a
5. I unpacked the latest OmniROM for Find7a
6. I unpacked the boot.img of OmniROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
7. I copied zImage and dt.img from OmniROM's extracted boot.img into MI3W's extracted boot.img
8. I repacked the MI3W boot.img
9. I bundled the MI3W system partition with the modified MI3W boot.img and uploaded it onto the internet for someone else to iron out the remaining bugs
What seems to work...
*) Basic Operation (MIUI apps, status bar, well what you would expect really)
*) Bluetooth
*) Wired Headset / Bluetooth Audio
*) RIL / Mobile Data
*) GPS
What doesn't work... yet...
*) WiFi (there seems to be some issues with wcnss / pronto / prima, this one is bad...)
*) Random Reboots / Blackscreen Glitches (from what kmsg tells me it seems to be related to wcnss, aka. WiFi drivers causing a critical error in kernel every once in a while, fix WiFi and this error will fix itself)
*) Speaker Audio
*) Rotation Sensor (and probably others)
*) Vibration
*) Skyline Notification Light
*) NFC

Good things always have the obstacles.
You've done your part. And let other(s) help you.
I don't have knowledge about cooking a ROM.
But I think someone can help. @Entropy512, can you look at this one?
If you want mae some cool port, i thikn sense rom is good candidate...
Great work
hey there mrcoldbird,
great work so far...keep it up..will definately help support you on this when it is up and running..i am not a dev but if you need someone to just bug report i am there for you,will keep my eyes n ears peeled on the thread and as soon as it's near ready i will flash and help you anyway i can...thank you for all your hard work so far
Right now we need developers involved in this. We know the countless obvious bugs.
Just have to fix them.
Awesome work. Thanks bird. Any chance you want to try lewa os while you're at it. I personally think it is better. I imagine just how busy you are but just wanted to throw it out there
Porting really should only be done when there is no source available for said ROM.
For unicorn a source rebuild might be better.

no news about this rom
I was actually searching for people to help me with this but no one bit the bait yet.
I am continually working on MIUI, bit by bit... but due to reallife interference it goes... slowly.

No. That is what I'm asking for; a build for lewa for the find 7.

Lewa OS is extremely similar to MIUI and that is why I even bothered to mention it. I know the developer is having some trouble with MIUI so I thought it would be useful and helpful to mention Lewa as it might be a project that will help the development of either or rom.
Please don't take a blunt tone with me (if that's what it was) as it only makes you look arrogant. Taking in to account our post and thanks scores it is quite clear who has contributed in a more positive way towards XDA. On that note; you might also want to thank MrColdbird in the OP for his contribution, which you have not done as of yet but you seem to be poking your nose in to the thread
That is all
Edit* I apologise MrColdbird if my suggestion was unwarranted.

I am setting up a build environment and will be looking in to it; starting with wifi. I think I might check out lewa as well.
good luck
I've pm one of the Miui dev from note 1 community, and hope that he willing to lend his hand for you @MrColdbird.
Mr @Gerrett, can you help him? If you got some free time. I know you so busy. But at least, just a little guide for him.

Actually I've got 99% of the issues resolved already by using a different port-rom in conjunction with a few OmniROM injects.
At the moment only the proximity sensor (screen off on holding the phone to your ear) and nfc are broken, lte works, but needs to be reselected every time the phone reboots via the service menu (dialer code).
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share that (quite nicely working) ROM just yet as I switched port-bases to a unreleased chinese one in favor of the MI3W port-base.
Until that chinese author releases his first public port base-rom I'm kinda bound by the promise I gave not to unveil things early.
Just hang in there, it shouldn't be long until you guys have MIUI on Find7a... all I can tell you is that it works nicely and without any critical flaws I can see except those mentioned above (which we will get fixed too eventually).
