[Q] GPS issue with CM9 by modpunk - HTC Wildfire S

Hi
I'm busy trying some custom ROM as i wanted to upgrade to android 4 (mainly for FLAC compatibility), to have app2sd and for the fun too
I first tried CyanogenMod 10.0.0-RC0 marvel/marvelc ALPHA0 by modpunk then CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2 marvel/marvelc ALPHA7 by modpunk and Cyanogenmod 10 builds (WIP) [MARVEL] [UNOFFICIAL] by benjamin.
I know none are "stable" ROM but anyway they are working quite good.
With the first, i had 3G issue so i forget about it.
With the 2 other, i could not manage to make the GPS to work.
On CM9, the icon show that the gps is working, but it's keeping trying to catch the signal or something else, i let it about 15-20 minuts but no position available...
On CM10 by benjamin, the icon doesn't even show up...
As my phone is my only GPS, i need this funcyionnality.
Any way to make it working?
Many thanks
Nico

That doesn't work for me. I notice my GPS is showing 0 for the latitude and longitude on a app to get the data. Its like it isnt trying to use the GPS at all.
Any ideas I can try? I would really like to have a working GPS again.
My Carrier for this phone is US Cellular. And its not a buzz so does anyone know where to get the correct radio for CM9 by cryptomilk if thats the issue?

My advice is to use SpeedDroid ROM.Is CM9 ics bases 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 and GSP IS WORKING FOR ME.
Press thank's if i helped you ! Have a nice night !

Does it support the CM9 Themes? And will I have to resetup apps and such? If so can you tell me where to get it so I dont get the wrong version?
I dont see much documented about my phone since its with uscc apparently...

There's nothing to do. I've tried to get devs to fix it, helping with logcats that had the error. But I always get ignored. You have a marvelc brother and we are not especially welcome here.

Skyfire - media error: 1 : -1005

Anybody else experience this error message when trying to play video through Skyfire?
Would be really happy to get this working, i have already reported this to the skyfire team months ago but still not fixed.
Is it working for anyone? If not search skyfire media error 1:-1005 and report it to them via the help page and check out the other posts.
Sorry im not able to post links as im new, also i searched the forum for this issue and found nothing.
Thanks for looking and any help will be greatly welcome.

Yes, I also get this error when trying to play videos with Skyfire. Looking at their forums, this problem was first reported in June and they still haven't fixed it!
A partial solution is to use the Puffin browser instead. Their servers do the media decoding for you, so you can see Flash videos. They're still a bit choppy, but that's one limitation of the Skyfire S that we have to learn to live with.
Yeah i've posted a few times over there as Rob M, latest reply from the staff member suggest they have more of an idea now and are working on a fix but i won't hold my breath!
Never heard of puffin but gonna give it a shot thanks for the heads up mate.
Also whats the story with flash for armv6? Im rooted installed, video tries to load then fails, tried loads of different .apk all give same results but some users are claiming it works fine. Am i missing something?

Flash 10.2 (there is also 10.3, but it's a fake 10.2) works with alquez's CM7.1 port. I haven't seen it work with any other ROMs.
Thanks mate, im really excited bout cm7 cant wait for a fully working stable release, so flash will have to wait till then

It's fully working and stable. (at least for me, and if you don't mind not having the flash for the camera, and video recording at the highest quality)
I think he also worked on the wifi/bt/gps driver so he should be updating it any day now. (for people who had wifi problems, I didn't.)
Ok might give it a try mate thanks!

Update: latest cm7 build is now perfect. Everything working how it should so for me skyfire is fine as this is now my main rom.
Sorry I can't help stock rom users.
PS: skyfires Dev team are slow and unconcerned about this problem, it was reported and acknowledged by them over 6 months ago but still no fix in sight.
Does anybody have any idea why this wont work on sense roms but is fine on cm7?
And is there a known workaround?

[wip] cm7 - marvelc

I have successfully ported the CM7 release to our devices. The kernel is made by Bobzhome, and without him I wouldn't have touchscreen support. There are many problems with it, but it boots, and texting and calling work. So does Internet. I need beta testers, so if you flash report error please report them here.
Flash like any other rom:

Didn't get it to boot [bootloop]. Perhaps I didn't get a clean download. Will try again later.
Currently Testing
Hello, I am happy to test this for you!

So, I attempted to use the camera, and it froze the whole phone, in which i pulled the battery, and now it is doing endless reboot.
Simonssimons, great to hear you're developing, but alquez has the stablest release ever!
CDMA users have just to wait a bit. You can maybe share your kernel with alquez?

Bobzhome forked the kernel from alquez's github Then did a bit of cleanup/mod... I'm sure alquez is aware of it.

CDMA And GSM on this device are two totally different "Devices" in a way. GSM Wont even make it past HTC scrreen, believe me I tried. THanks to bob i currently have a V3 kernel, testing now. Working on everything. Fixed camera. BT is all thats not working. Id love if alquez would help me get it perfected. Id add him to the thanks area. Id also like to help him get a cdma version working. But im contuining my build for the VMUSA model at least. We have some major differences in network routing ect.
Edit: Also im down with pneumonia, im spending alot of time sleeping. The rest developing
I cant wait till its complete ! thanks for porting this
btw hope you get well
Get Well Soon

im workin on bluetooth and camera and gps. Mms isnt hard to fix. Tethering i have no clue why it dont work. Root is easy to fix too.
Thanks. It seems to have fixed USB tethering to fix the root permissions. But wifi tethering seems to still be down. I got to find some aosp libs for all my hardware the sense ones seem to get me into a netd 1.0 loop. Any ideas on that?
Anything new on this? Id love to have a vmusa version with a little more stability.. thank you for your hard work and i hope your feeling better my friend!

OMG I'm sooo glad I found this.. I was messing around with the port from Alquez on my VM US CDMA MARVELC and everything worked perfectly except for my WIFI and BT
I take it this is supposed to be a working CM7 just like his, only for us VM users?
If I'm correct, I'm very excited, and willing to test!

There was one in development but the developer broke his phone or something. We do have cyanogenmod7 though and it works well thanks to Eugene
MIUI is based off of CM and we do not have an official release. Eugene has been painstakingly fixing the first release of CM7 from Slayher who was deployed.
I have a booting base of MIUI that I have been working on... Still working on getting modem working.. Once that is fixed I will release a beta, but no sense in releasing until we can make calls with it..

Will CM10 happen for the Dinc?

Hey all, I've been extremely curious if CM10 will ever be ported to the good old dinc. I've been on CM7 now for what seems like ages and really need a rom with all of the CM features that works.
Thanks!
If you didn't notice I have a jellybean build in the development section.

Yeah I did and am very tempted to try it. It isn't CM based, is it?
P.S. Keep up the good work! Seeing people continuing to bring roms to the Inc makes me smile :laugh:

I'm running cm10 on my Inc. I recently hit a rough patch where I can get the camera to work using camera ics+, but none of the newer builds work. Can post it if you want but it's built for me so it's quite stripped down.
I will second albinos JB ROM, it is phenomenal. Works great as my daily.

Third. It's surprisingly table, smooth, and snappy. It's only going to get better from here as begins to add in customizations. It's more reliable than most ICS roms out there right now. Do yourself a favor, you won't regret it.
CM10 will not come officially from the CyanognenMod team. I'm sure someone will port it over however. Like stated, Albinoman has an AOSP port but, no, this is not CM based. I'm itchin for a CM10 port too, and Will probably remain on CM9 until then. Albinoman and Evervolv have done some great work getting JB stable, so we have them to thank for where we are at right now with jelly bean!
Here's my latest CM10 build for the Inc. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jvm51pa5k5fbaze/cm-10-20120827-UNOFFICIAL-inc-EV-AV.zip Everything should be working, but the camcorder of course.
As mentioned earlier, some things have been removed, some because /system is so small, others because I have no use for them.
Zimeron, thanks for sharing. Any chance you could give a description of the process of building CM10?
If not its cool but I'd love to make my own builds and I haven't found a description that i was confident I could follow. If not that's cool, I know it's asking a lot.
I do appreciate you sharing your builds though. Thanks again.

Great, I have that too. Looks like yesterday's build introduced new problems, horray. This one a is a few days older, but google now and voice search work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffq7l5nrz76neie/cm-10-20120821-UNOFFICIAL-inc-stable.zip
How does this build compare to albinoman's? I love jelly bean but miss some of the Cyanogenmod features. If this is a solid CM10 ROM, I would love it! Is it stable enough to be used as a daily?
As I said, everything works, but the camcorder (to my knowledge), at least on the latest build marked stable. Yesterday's build, while "stable", kills google voice, so I'll have to see if I can figure that out sometime.

Don't use BT, so couldn't tell you. Auto brightness doesn't appear to, and hasn't really worked since GB, but you can change both it and the volume just fine, if that's what you're asking?
[e] I tested all my builds and the latest stable one is 8/23, something over the weekend broke google voice.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/526hjxu7fnommss/cm-10-20120823-UNOFFICIAL-inc-stable.zip
[e2] I also updated my manifest with the latest tweaks, so you can build it yourself.
ye, albinodud cooked jb rom, really good stuff - just brightness & volume options fcs. the bt is also known to be funky there. once gv works here, I will jump the ships

I don't use google voice to text, but EV has this commit to fix it http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/3004/ and I don't use their repo for libcore and CM doesn't have that commit, so it should work. Only way would be to test. The only force closes I have are on last nights build with google voice and I'm 99% sure the build that's running now fixed that.

Jb or sense?

What do you guys prefer?
Sent from my One V using Tapatalk 4
Jelly Bean..4.1.2 to be specific. Runs well for this limited device. Sense is bloated garbageware imo..wont use it. 4.2 Jelly Bean is not far behind sense as far as being resource hungry. Once you install a few apps,it turns into crap like sense. So for me its 4.1.2 or best case scenario a working cm9 ics or lower. Which we do not have that is bug free that is.
CM9 for me.Though it is buggy, i find the audio more clear and less distorted, but the graphic glitches in kangbang are just killing it.If I had to go for JB slimbean it is.
I had good experience using Sense (with the latest update!): the battery lasts longer than with CM10.1, the sound of Beats Audio with my Philips Headphone is very good and the User Interface is well-thought.
But the Interface has more lags than 4.1.2, and Google Now will never work on it.
So both Systems has pros and cons.
jb .....
Shpongle :victory:
Sense for me becuase of the stability and camera. I do like JB though.
