If you are having trouble with your network locations (cell towers) updating in the background, breaking location-aware apps like Tasker and Llama, try rolling back the com.google.android.location.apk in /system/app to a version from an older build. I am currently on Calkulin's EL29 based ROM and this has finally solved my cell tower location updating issues. Using either Root Explorer or adb, copy or push the linked file below into /system/app, replacing your current version (which will either be networklocation.apk or com.google.android.location.cpk, depending on which ROM build you are using), then reboot. The cell tower history should update in the background once again.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7821039/ET4G/com.google.android.location.apk
The purpose of this fix has nothing to do with connectivity to cell towers. It is only to facilitate the reporting by the system of which cell tower you are currently connected to, and which towers you have been connected to, in order to enable location to be reported to applications on the device that rely on network location as opposed to GPS location. For example, this fix enables Llama to function perfectly for me, so it changes my sound profiles based on my current location. It will also allow weather widgets to correctly determine you current location based on cell tower location instead of GPS.
how long have you been using this and is it still working? i thought i figured mine out by changing the modemback to el26 but after a few days this morning it would not update. just hopeing this is going to fix it for good.

Interesting, as mine is actually called com.google.android.location.apk. I think the apk name changed somewhere along the line from this to networklocation.apk, which may actually coincide with when the functionality broke, but I have no way to confirm that right now.
very intersting, would be funny if that was the case. strange thing is i dont remember this being an issue with calks 1.7 rom which i believe was based off of el26. it started with el29 for me. but i could have just not noticed. i tried taking the apk from 1.7 but the version number was the same so i used the one you pulled. we will see what happens.

For what it is worth, I have everything (ROM, modem, etc) based of EL26 and I noticed the problem when I went to the EL26 from EG30. Llama is useless now, hope this works...

I'm having the same problems using Astro when I try, any ideas? When I tried to rename it, I also got an error saying it was a read only file I believe.
EDIT: Nevermind, used Root Explorer and copied it after changing mount to R/W and it is fine. Then I installed it using the package installer in Root Explorer. Not sure if I should have done that or changed the name to the networklocation.apk and overwritten the old networklocation.apk, any ideas?
Thanks, really hope this works.
Do we need to rename the file? Or install it? Or just push via root explorer?

You do not need to rename the file or install it. Just replace the existing apk file (which would be called networklocation.apk or com.google.android.location.apk, depending on what ROM build you are on) it using root explorer, or push using adb.
I replaced the apk and now I get the following error each time I reboot:
Sorry!

I know people have been having issues getting this to work on cm6, I found a method that ALMOST works if someone can help me expand on this.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone being s-on, so it couldn't upgrade properly, so I force removed the existing market app via titanium with the recovery exploit that it uses with s-on phones, and then installed it through the app manager like I would any other app. It took a long time but it eventually installed, but the glitches were so extensive it was unusable. It opens the app, and displays the UI elements fine, but if you do anything aside from navigate and search, it force closes. If you try to open an app's link up, it force closes. Attempting to go to "my apps" force closes it.
I was thinking maybe it either had something to do with the fact that it needs the old market to update to the new one, like it's an update patch, not a full app. The other thing I was thinking was that it wasn't working because it installed to /data/app, like a user app, not to /system/app like the normal market.
Would it work to adb install or adb push the apk to /system/app rather than install it as a user app do you think? I would really love to get the new market working on cm6.
SOLUTION:
All thanks to KCRic; he has posted the flashable zips for the new market, which I re-attached in the OP.

You don't even need the recovery zip. It works perfectly fine just installing manually.
While in recovery just plug your phone in, go into adb shell and install it from there.
"cp (Location of app) /system/app/"
IE for me I put "cp /sdcard/download/android_market.apk /system/app/" and it worked.
I didn't do anything to the original market.
All I did was apply any zip from sdcard in clockwork..no adb needed

If you renamed the apk to a zip, you're doing it wrong.
If you downloaded the update zip containing the apk, it's wherever you downloaded it.
Its in the them and app section under new market app..

Yeah I never found a flashable zip, I just found an apk in the apps section. Which doesn't work. If someone could post a link to the flashable zip that'd be cool. I don't have access to a USB cable right now so adb isn't a very good option haha.
Edit: nevermind, found it on the second page of the thread, here's the direct link to the zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?w7hcd0uadlndnwd, it works great, no more force closes everywhere like I was getting before
I found a flashable zip from a diff source so problem solved. But how do you change a .apk to a .zip if not simply renaming?

You have to create an update package with the apk inside zip_file.zip/system/app/apk.apk and you have to put an update script into meta-inf/android/blah blah blah, google it, I've forgotten, only had to do it once, I'm sure there's a tutorial out there if someone here can't directly answer you

For those that don't know, you go into clockwork recovery - select 'install zip from sdcard' - find the zip and install it. Reboot and enjoy.

Ok, sounds good. I'm testing the 'tiny' version now and I'll update that post with the file if it works. Removing the files didn't drop the size much (~0.3MB) but smaller is still always better.

Edited the OP, included info, should all be good to go
Also, would this market work on eclair? The version is 2.2.6 so I'm thinking not, since it has froyo elements like auto app update, etc.
Edit: shortly after I installed cr_mod the market auto updated, but it did so to version 2.2.7, not 2.2.6. So yes, the new market does work on eclair, with auto updating. Kickass. If you'd all like I can pull the apk from my phone and post it if no one has it? Although aside from cm users everyone should be getting updated, I think.

I have no idea, but honestly I'm thrilled to have the new market AND auto update functionality on eclair. It was also nice that I didn't even have to flash anything, it updated itself. I had heard that the auto update worked fine with sense ROMs, only people running CM were having issues. You're probably right, it's probably an edited version for eclair. But cr_mod still has gmail v1, I really wish I could get version 2.3 :/ old gmail sucks. I'm going to try and just pull the apk and upgrade it with an app manager from one of the gapps packages, but I'm not sure, since google apps on sense roms is different.
Well stock android will generally always work on sense roms, just not the other way around. The issue you may run into are differences in os versions (2.1 vs 2.2.1). But with gapps it's usually not an issue, at least not yet since the versions aren't too far apart.

I actually googled around a bit, the gmail that's in the market, which is 2.3 at the moment, and before that 2.2.1, only shows up on froyo, since that's all it works on. Eclair and below are all stuck with version 1 :/
I'm pretty sure HTC loads gapps in a different way because there is actually a googleapps.apk or gapps.apk in /system/app, the flashable package just has all of the apks. I tried to open the flashable zip with astro and browse to gmail.apk and see if it would upgrade but it wouldn't parse the package. I could TRY flashing the eclair gapps and see if that works, but I'll definitely do a nandroid first. I guess I'll try that and post back.
I love how my threads always end up venturing off topic. I kind of "hijack" my own threads in a sense
so I am not sure where I went wrong and I have been reading some threads and trying what people are saying but I think I am making it worse.
I have
Clean Gb build 16
then I added in Marcusant speed tweaks
the first issue was that instead of showing up as Clean GB in the about phone it shows as Mar... Revival Rom
I was told I could just go in and change the name here so i tried. didnt work out as hoped I think I may have changed the wrong file because it still says the revivial one.
I wanted to update to the newest Clean GB so I said screw it and went to Clock work mod and Wanted to do a full restore.( i backed up just before installing the speed tweaks)
I got an error and it said md5 mismatch
So I figured I would just reinstall Clean Gb as the zip was still on my phone and I had also had done a titanium back up would install clean gb and use that
I tried to install it and got an error and it went to a wierd screen with a lil android guy and an exclamation mark.
Id like to get on Clan Gb latest build and not have to spend 10 hours re -setting up all my contacts and main page and stuff if I can
Any ideas here.
I guess my next step is to do the factory reset from clock work and try to install again??
O I do not have access to odin at this time
Thanks!
First there are 2 entries in build.prop that have Marcusant revival that need to be changed. You would edit the one in the zip and then reflash. You can get the exact lettering from CleanGB's build prop. The other issue sounds like you sd card is going bad or corrupted. You can back it up, reformat it and restore and try again.

I did try flashing a stock ROM, update PRL &Profile and get a lock and then nandroid back. It worked at first and then stopped working. Tried that multiple times and it was so frustrating. My GPS was working after a clean install but stopped working after I set up my phone and installed a few irrelevant apps. I flashed the GPS fix zip but it didn't help either. The above method worked instantly, no need to make a zip and flash, just replace the file and it's done.
I'm not a dev so even if you tried it and it didn't work, I wouldn't know how to fix it lol. I'm only good at a little research and finding things that are already there. I have at least 6 or 7 people report back and said it worked amazingly on our phone, plus the people from that thread. So hope you enjoy it

Some said the first script had some incorrect format but it worked well for me in CNA and a lot of members reported back and said it worked great, too. However, after I installed the FK23 leak my GPS stopped working after a couple of days. I tried the first one but it didn't seem to work that well so I edited it, cleared data from google map, rebooted and got a lock within 10 seconds with an accuracy of 10 meters (about 33 feet). If you're on a stock ROM you can also update PRL and Profile after you change the file and then reboot. Let me know if it helps.
Here's the updated zip (Thanks a lot g_ding84)

But it also suggests you make a backup of the original file, so you might want to do that, too. :good:

It shouldn't have deleted anything I took the patch you were using originally, swapped the kernel, Settings.apk and Phone.apk for the newer ones, zipped it back up and posted it. I'll look into it.

Yeah... Tried a wipe/reload and still same results.
Wiped/reloaded again and copied over phone.apk from recovery and rebooted (installed nitest-jb42_nr-twrp-0410 and nexusmodempatch_cm_10.1_ai0_(nitest-01-12kernel w jb-big men patch)) also.
Booted fine. Phone works. No root access.
Is that what the settings.apk file is for? I didn't install it. It won't install once the phone is booted up. Didn't want to just copy it over if it didn't need it.
So... Now I'm at the what do I need to do to root stage.
So to update. The phone works now. I wasn't able to use your zip in recovery- but I did pull the phone.apk out once the phone was booted and then rebooted to recovery and copied it over to system/app and once I rebooted my phone was working.
Still no root though.
Thanks a ton for the phone fix.
Maybe a permissions issue with the settings apk? Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery?

So here's the final fix that worked for me. Couldn't have done it without those updated files 'phone.apk' and 'settings.apk'.
From a clean wipe/install (system, data, cache, etc.. everything was blank) I think you could do this on any phone running the latest 10.1 that uses this kernel/modem though. I don't think you need to wipe/reload. Definitely worth trying.
From Recovery:
Installed latest CM-10.1-2013xxxx-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip
Installed gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Installed nitest-jb42_nr_twrp-0410.zip
Installed nexusmodempatch_cm_10.1_AIO_(nitest-01-12 kernel w JB-Big Mem patch).zip
(might have rebooted into recovery after installing jb42 can't remember - if you get a error flashing the modem patch that was a fix for me - then I could install it)
Have the new phone.apk and settings.apk files on your flash card.
(pulled them out of the file initially listed in this post - they were in the system/app folder)
In TWRP - click Mount and check "Mount System" then hit the back button.
Click Advanced button, File Manager, sdcard and browse to where you have the new phone/settings apk files. Click phone.apk and select copy file.
Click system then app and click the 'select' button bottom right.
Do the same for settings.apk
I got a error copying over settings.apk and had to do the following.
Delete the copy of settings.apk in your \system\app folder and try to copy the new version over.
I cleared both caches just because and everything booted fine.
Tons of thanks especially to jeffreyjicha for the files he sent and advice. Also to everyone else who made any suggestions/comments.
Just another tip, use updated gapps. Latest gapps version is 20130301

Well my phone is on CM10.1 now. I used the patch I posted and it worked for me with no problems. Could someone else verify this? That way it can be put in the NS4G Patch thread.
It worked? Were you coming from a complete wipe/reload? System/data/everything?
That's what I did and couldn't get the services.apk to install automatically.
Is the system memory size on these phones all the same?
I did wipe everything. Now that you mention it, I think it worked for me because I removed a bunch of system apps. I removed all the live wallpapers(but not livewallpaperpicker.apk) the video editor, GTalk(I don't use it), CMFileManager(I like ES), oh and I removed Email/Exchange apks. Also in /system/media I deleted the videos folder. After all that I think I had ~30MB of empty space in /system.
Edit: I also removed CMWallpapers( I use my own photos )

Make sure you flash your Baseband for your correct phone right after flashing the Rom or you wont have signal/Service.
Also I have edited the basebands due to whoever orginally created them added bougus Build.Prop and also added on screen menu buttons to the flash so I have removed them from the below baseband so you wont have the bougus Build.Prop and the on screen buttons at the bottom.

Ok I flashed this earlier today. Everything's running great, it's fast responsive no lag, my CPU is deep sleeping like a bear in the winter. I'm loving it. Only problem I have is I'm getting an error when I try and download something from the play store....
I've tried wiping my play store apps data, didn't help, I even went so far as to reinstall the play store app manually, no go.... WTF, any ideas people...:banghead:

I've had that same error when I updated to 4.3 on my Nexus 7. What I did to fix it was remove the Google Account under settings and login again and accepting the user terms and stuff again.
when i tried restoring in clockworkmod 6.0.3.3, recovery tells me that no files were found.
I put the extracted contents of the stock.rar into the clockworkmod\backup directory in the sdcard but no go
did the same in my internal and obviously, no go. am i missing something?
thanks for your work by the way!!

you will just need to put the folder which has the date format like the 1970.25 something not the folder name which has stock....

got it working thanks!
I was using this and noticed that the signal cuts off randomly then reconnects. I flashed the baseband.
Also the issue with downloading apps from the play store reappears. I would remove the account and re-add the account and it would fix the problem but then reappear.

what you can do is use root explorer or browser and go to system/apps and delete the playstore and reinstall it from the web or apk google it you shuold get a latest one... that will fix the issue ,
for signal I know the issue I will add a patch , its due to the increase in network throttle added so if signal gets a little weak it drops and tries to reconnect
What APN settings are you guys running to get LTE..?

I saw in the other xperia thread you asked if anyone wanted an aosp rom and its kinda funny but thats what i thought this rom was lol but stock meant factory stock not aosp.
Anyway, i think ppl would rather have you focus your energy on a an aosp one than a debloated lg one, tho both are important. The aosp one needs more work of course so yea. Looking forward to that network patch, thanks!
