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).

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 the RCmix S thread there was somebody who had tried it.
In GB most of the files are not found.
The fix is for Froyo and not GB.
The guy (i think) reported that it did not work at all.
We will have to wait for some other solution.

Compass fixed with new kernel
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.
I have not had time to try it, but in most rom threads there are people who have tried it and it works!!!!!
The fix can be found here:

Working on Nexus S
Hello,
is this fix working on Nexus S, too?
So, is this fix going to be incorporated into the official Acer releases (prob not)?
I guess we have to root and flash after market roms to fix their fubars...
Update 10-5
To make steve jobs roll over in his grave, I give you CM7.
Now to make this perfectly clear.....
I did not compile the kernel.
As it is, I was NOT going to release this until I completed the kernel so that it said MY name in "about"
We clear?
JT1134 did the kernel. I updated my source to compile the same kernel. I built a more or less custom CM7 system, did my crazy thing to it, however I used one of MY systems I built on my machine.
I am saying this, because I dont like releasing **** that I feel I didnt make 100%. Alot of people are ok with this, I view it differently.
Its easy guys.
Flash using CWM.
Get CWM anyway you have to on the tab, Im going to say wipe everything first, mount system, flash the rom, then do a full wipe again, should boot. I myself had issues with initial boot up, but i realised system needed to be mounted.
3G along with everything else works.
Download BTL CM7 RIGHT HERE
Oh, the DPI is set to the 185 I like, sorry.
Changes Ill be making this week/weekend....
Adding the audio to boot animation
System UI tweaks
Kernel with MY name on it out of respect to JT1134
A second "stripped AOSP version.
Sorry it has been so long for this release, ive been running it myself for almost a week.
Update 9-26
Back on the game 100% right now.
I took a break as I was taking this project very personal, and that was lame.
I was having an issue with the build being stable, all based on the data partitions.
I am going to sync the latest material off the interwebs today, try a few new builds to release, I am hoping to get something out today, If the kids let me work enough.
I am going to reach out and help Boush, and JT with their build, and see if I can get help with mine, cause in the end, it's not a race, it's an open source community.
I am building one right now, so we will see how it goes, I am down to only 1 tab right now, and while it is the Sprint model, i caqnt test 3g till i get my verizon one back from samsung.
After I am done with CM7, I will probably sell 3 of the tabs off, and switch over to writing workflows.
I, am tired.
So, before I get to the dirty details everyone wants, the more important stuff up front.
Spacemoose.
A friend, my pal, my Yoda. None of this, hell none of my roms would be here if it wasnt for him. He helped in so many ways, almost all ways up until the end. I hope next week is better for you.
Technomancer.
For the code, the answers, the help, the help you gave Dan, and then me when i picked this back up. Still trying to reach you via GTalk, however, you to are another major help, if not the reason i have the ability to build this stuff.
=================================================
CyanogenMod7 for Galaxy Tab CDMA {SPRINT AND VERIZON}
I dont know where to start, this is kind of a big thing, bigger than the 2 GB roms i did.
This is built from source, based on the GSM source with many many tweaks, including tweaks I had to do last night, and even today to get it to run for 5 minutes on my tab.
This is Alpha build quality, what can you expect, let me tell you..
This is not daily driver material.
This may, or may not run for more than 5 minutes, though I do have a streak of 60 minutes today.
However it boots, and loads the OS, and allows navigating throughout the system, but can and probably will randomly reboot.
I know what the issue is, it is kernel level, I know exactly what it is, and will be all over it tomorrow starting 6am cst.
Whats Working.
?? good question, never took time to try stuff
Launcher Pro if installed via ADB
Whats Broken.
ADW Launcher (touch calibration is jacked up from ADW)
Calibration? (had to edit build prop to rotate screen 180 so launcher pro would register my touch properly.
I have run through the system today a few times till i ran the battery down, and it worked, no idea on 3G or wifi as at that time I was worried about basic functionality.
Stages of work....
Effect tomorrow I will build a few new kernels, including a new one that should place CM7 directly onto the SD card, test those out, and get that patch done I need to. I do feel that patch is 98% of the problem.
I will then address any bug reports, start a list in another reply i will save, and cross off each one as fixed to eliminate future confusion.
There may be nightlies depending on how much I can accomplish in a 16 hour day.
This will be stable, and perfect. Has to be, it's CM7
Instructions for installation.
Flashing zip via CWM
Place on SD card, wipe everything, then choose zip, flash, and for good measure, wipe again after the flash.
Flashing with Heimdall
Ill release a heimdall version tomorrow by noon.
Make sure to wipe data, cache, dalvik, fix permissions, just run with it, better to be safe, than sorry.
Links
Download Link for Flashable Zip
Reboot and enjoy for as long as you can, I can not test how it runs on other tabs vs my daily driver right now.
CM7 Source.....
Let me finish this alpha to a stable beta, organise my source's, make sure all my patches are in, and I will be more than happy to put it all up on my Github. Placing my current source up right now, might cause problems. I will also post instructions like Technomancer did. Yall know i love to edit my posts, lol so check back often.
If you like my work, feel free to donate.

Hey I sent you a email Oldmacnut. Sorry, didn't see you turned it off.
The zip you provided is broken I think. cwm says it's bad, and when i open with winrar it says unexpected end of archive.
Otherwise great work! I'm loving the support you've given verizon gtabs!

I rooted my tab when it was on froyo, unrooted it when the gb update rolled out and never felt the need to root it again.
If you get cm7 on my tab, I personally promise a hefty donation from me!
I'm so thankful us Sprint users have you in our corner. I have an evo 3d and there are more roms to flash that I don't know what to do with myself and cm7 is on the horizon for that phone also. Sprint didn't get as much love for our tabs dev wise (I'm not *****ing, god knows I'm not capable of doing anything but flashing) over here.
If there's anything I can do to help shoot me a pm.

UPDATE 4
Hello all,
Pending a new release for this ROM, I will stop supporting the "0.3" version originally posted.
I would like some help deciding cosmetics & features next release before it goes live. Please complete the following brief survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VJRLWRZ
A lot of fixes and changes have been made and requests have been accounted for as long as they do not deviate from the nature of this ROM being clean, functional, stable, good-looking, and ready to be a base for future devs. The appearance will be very AOSP-ish but with traces of TouchWiz.
Heads up: there will be no XLoud\Beats Audio by default. We have enough audio issues as it is and these are IMHO not any better than using DSPManager (aside from having the cute Sony\Beats branding stamped on them).
I'm not releasing anything until I fix the damn call echo issue ...worst case scenario I will workaround it by keeping Noise Reduction off. But I want to fix it
Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24253640
General questions? post in the above link...it will help me keep track better
^^
I no longer wish to have two seperate topics. So post here...but wait till the next release before you do
First of all, thank you to Racing19969 and anybody else associated with the Skyrocket ICS port...you made this possible.
Also want to thank CyanogenMod (<3) and the original author of DSP Manager (will find credits tomorrow) from which I borrowing DSP Manager for this ROM
The goal: to make a CLEAN, no frills alien TouchWiz + ICS rom. Its not meant to be exciting or have a crazy amount of hacks in it. In fact as of right now, the only packages added from the community are SuperUser and DSP Manager. And I don't plan on changing that.
Current status is...the ROM is running and its running QUICK. But there are some minor issues to be worked out and some beautification to be done.
The priorities:
Stability
Friendliness
Battery Life
If you are going to comment without constructive criticism, then just look away from this thread. The ROM is what it is. If you are going to install it, I would appreciate pointing out as many bugs as you can
For right now (temporarily): I did add the wonderful, feather-weight Zeam Launcher alongside TouchWiz...this is because I had issues with TW force closing on me early on in the modification process. So until more progress is made on this ROM, I've decided to keep it in there in such an event that TW decides to be unhappy and constantly force close.
A *lot* of bloatware was removed, especially from AT&T and some of Samsung's own social/media/diary/etc packages. I want this ROM to be STABLE, fast, and clean.
Next release ETA:VERY VERY SOON. NOW THAT AUTO ROTATE WORKS :-D
That being said, there are still issues to be worked out. Here is the list of changes made right now:
Added DSPManager from update-cm-9-20120330-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed, not functional ATM
Added Gallery, Mms, and Shutdown from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; This fixes the shutdown issue, the Gallery landscape resize issue, and the delete SMS thread FC issue
Also added Browser from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; not only is it more stable but the Search icon is fixed in its place and it has more features
Added apns-conf.xml from above CM9 nightly
International Galaxy S2 boot animation (AT&T anim is hideous)
Removed many many bloat; I'll try to compile a better list later
Added latest version of Polaris Office from T-Mobile ROM...It's a simple, lightweight, and pretty good doc editor/viewer
Already rooted
TODO:
Merge racie's unsecure Skyrocket Kernel COMPLETE
^^ Transform samsung boot animation to a ZIP to work with above kernel
Remove traces of Software Update COMPLETE

Thank you to markusf21 for providing the above mirror. Bandwidth costs money, so please give this user a thanks!!
PS, my personal opinion...install the Telus radio. no echo issues thus far. But if you don't know what a radio is....don't do it.
Update: I have big suspicions that this is a RIL or qualcomm audio config issue. It is now the priority problem which I will look to tomorrow..
Enjoy
Update coming tomorrow..
For today I am tired!
Hopefully I can get this one to boot. Raver's just gives me booltloops to eat. We'll give this a run. I'll report back.
Edit: booted right up and is going well. Nothing too crazy yet. Will keep you posted.
Youtube played well and video was right on. I could actually hold it in landscape and watch video with not much effort.
>>DARKSIDE
the first boot may take a few min as this is Deodexed
Also, nice to see a fellow P999er here
I have been running the port for the past 3 days and the only issue I have is the rotate and I know that's a kernel issue but that port took many flashes and reboots. Let's see if this one is easier to install and I'll report later.
Edit : I always use darkside wipe just like on my transformer there some kind of wipe just like it and I'm so glad that the gs2 has it too.

It's important to to siperwipe. Darksides script works perfectly everytime, but prior to using it it took me many attempts to flash the leak. I am looking into hacking usermode android into invertig the kernels auto rotation parameters. Dirty hack but I believe it is possible
by looking at the change log I think you are on the right track! I do have one question, on the ics skyrocket leak, I noticed there is a lot of freezing and watching streamed videos is damn near impossible it lags beyond belief, so I was wondering if you had a chance to take a look at some streamed videos.

How did u get youtube in landscape? I have the hacked hd ics youtube pushed into system apps . It works great but no landscape.....is it the youtube that comes with the rom? Oh and for a camera fix use camera zoom fx... it will actually show pics the right way in gallery and send to people the right way too. For portrait shots just hit menu and rotate once

Well since our auto rotate is broken, I just turned it on and physically put the phone in portrait mode. LOL
And agreed at Camera Zoom FX. Like it a lot. If the autorotate fix doesn't work out, I will compile an ICS camera locked to landscape mode**.

I will look into it, hopefully in the next 24 hours.

I started the video then turned on screen rotation then held in vertically and slowly moved to horizontal and voila. I used the YouTube app that came in the rom.
The only real gripe I have right now is that the sideways scrolling16 panel toggle (thanks lidroid & RaverX3X) and the folders ui in gtab simiclock is pretty sticky, from lack of a better word. I'm sure it's due to the rotation issue. Looking good so far. Adwex hauls ass on this rom.
Oh yeah and vignette is great for pics too, alas youbhv to go into gallery and rotate them. Snaps em quickly tho. No delay like the stock camera.

Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.
can you provide the link to Chainfire's unroot procedure?
thanks!
Good to know but youcould have got straight to the point rather than writting five pages of useless stuff then saying something that to be honest is not any special invention anyways.

I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

Here is the procedure I followed to unroot...followed step by step and couldn't have been easier to follow:
I can't post links as I don't have over 10 posts yet, but should be able to figure it out from this:

Copy the next line after the .com and you'll get to the page.

My sincere apologies that my 15 line post was too much to handle.
I'd also like to thank you for such a nice response to a first time poster that was clearly just trying to help the community for an issue that is rare and relatively undocumented based on my searches.
I shall go back to normal... lurking and wading through useless posts like yours to find those with relevance...

Hey man props for the post it'll probably help someone out, assuming they are respectful enough to search and try things before posting. Which I also want to commend you on. Most like to post frantically wanting help before bothering to search or try anything. So gj man

Confirmed working
This fixed my GPS too. Triangle away and then flash stock NON ROOTED firmware and GPS will come back...NOW hopefully this fixes my weird battery life too. About to root again and shoot right back to PA android and see if it works there. Wish me luck
Edit. Yup it works. Went straight to pa android

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.
Thanks
Sucks cordell... Sorry you're not getting it working.
Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.
EDIT>>> Just did the OTA from Tmo and back .. Yes GPS back,
Thanks minigame
Noticing a few problems. With the new pac
Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.
SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.
And dpi changing only works in Landscape.
Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?
Thanks
Love the rom asides from the tiny problems

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.
All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!

In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.
The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.
FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.
Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.
Hope this helped.
Sent from a phone HTC forgot. Right now its running Chilly powered PAC n a lil NOS jus for fun.

One ROM @ a time....VIA ELECTRICITY
Thanks to both of you for your work with this device. It's awesome that a 2 year old phone is still getting some love. I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:
It was cobalt donate I was using. But when switching from launcher to settings or any app the status bar would randomly change from theme colors to stock green. Icons remained same but colors changed

honestly couldnt say. I don't use google music player. A lot of other better players are out there. I'm stuck on GoneMad personally.
OK, I will try with some different players.. on chilly roms., signal bars will be single point. Do we have any settings to change it. I am using Gsm network from India. Attached the screenshot.....
