CS - reporting back on navigation experiments with V14STH.

Unfortunately, nothing I tried fixed the navigation hangup, but it was an interesting exercise. First, I tried flashing old versions of gapps to roll back the com.google.android.maps.jar file to see if there was anything there affecting navigation. At first I thought it was working differently, but alas the old jar (if they are actually even different) files really behaved the same -- they locked up the navigation moving map while partially allowing the navigation voice(s) to continue.

After repeated testing, It *seems* that the moving map is hanging up for me in the SAME PLACES. Now this is all very subjective since I cannot pay all that much attention while driving, but when I leave my office for home it seems that the maps hangs at the first right turn, 1/2 mile or 2 minutes away. If I restart it, it will continue for another 10 minutes or so until after a major highway merge.

So, I began to notice the dual-voice navigation some others have mentioned and deduced that one voice is TTS and one is google's backup non-TTS navigation sounds. I suspected, perhaps, that TTS might be crashing or being force closed by the system. A little routing around and I found that if you uninstall TTS that navigation simply will not load but will FC immediately. I also found that you can disable TTS by removing/renaming the libttspico.so file. This way, you can actually force the second navigation voice - its rather pleasant but does not pronounce street names, just says "turn left" etc.

This did not fix the problem either. But it did allow me to rule out that the phone was temporarily losing GPS signal leading to the FC. Without TTS, navigation alerts you that GPS signal was lost with a chime sound. Maps was not hanging on a lost GPS signal. since voice directions continue despite visual map hanging.

So this leads me to my next observation. Without the distracting TTS voice I notice that the maps seems to hang precisely at a point where I am supposed to be alerted to an upcoming change. For instance, after making my first right leaving the office, it hangs when (1) I turn right forcing the map to pan and draw the route for the next leg AND SIMULTANEOUSLY (2) when the GPS wants to tell me the next direction "In a half mile, turn right on to the ramp"

I also thought that there may be a memory problem - like GB is trying to kill one of the Navigation related processes. As far as I can tell, navigation requires that the navigation map, a separate navigation voice service, and PICO TTS all be running at the same time on top of a launcher, maps, email, and other services. I tried tweaking V6 supercharger to gaming settings with no luck.

I realize this leaves us no further along, but hopefully it helps.

CS - may have found a navigation fix????? see my post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15875872&postcount=19
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Sweet! Thanks for sharing. I'll look into adding it to the next update if it works fine with the updated maps :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Seems to be working, but needs more tests. I'm trying a few versions out now to see what works best with your rom. The gsb folks aren't dating as well. Well keep you updated...
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Sounds good to me. I'm working on some things with 666th sense atm and working on a 3.0 sense Rom for dinc. I'll be working on an update for this as well soon. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Letitride:
V15, everything working on this ROM for me in the past 2 days, wifi, BT and of course, Maps 5.2 as configured in CS's latest update/release, ran alone and/or with Navigation, which I typically used with Car Mode ON in the background as I not want it to go to "sleep" or blank out the screen, close on its own (FC ....) or whatever. I just simply ignored update alert within Market to the latest 5.7+

CM performance settings as is, 604/245 On Demand, set on Reboot - minimal widgets running (if any) and Weather Channel isn't loaded. GPS tools/settings set to auto-updated once every hour when running.

End result, a big thank you - visual map is moving & updating real-time as the car is moving, keeping pace with voice navigation & smaller top/bottom screen update on turn-by-turn & time/distance to destination, etc. and not seeing any FC or intended reboot. It's for me, a stable daily ROM that I can set & forget, for a little while since there's a death in the extended family and with the grieving process, I will be spending less time flashing & wiping ROMs until latter part of next week unless I run into serious issues with this release. Will get a chance to test out Maps & Navigation when we head out to the cemetary in northern Westchester/Rockland County area.

Kudo's to CS for continuous efforts in fixing, fine-tuning & releasing one of the best GB ROM for the aging Eris, postponing the early upgrade to a "newer" Android OS device ....

Side notes: It's not even 11 am local (EDT) time and temps already pushing past 90 degree mark, expect to hit 102 later this afternoon - utilities on high alert & potential for rolling blackout, so time to turn off non-essential devices in the household, fueled up the 4 cyclinder SUV just in case - keep cool & stay hydrated ....
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Thanks for the great review. Sorry to hear about your loss as well. Our thoughts will be with you and your family.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Just got done doing a full wipe and installed v15. Getting everything reinstalled and set to my liking now. Looks like somehow I might have got maps 5.7 installed though. have to try uninstalling updates for it and see if I can get back to 5.2. First time using a CS rom, been using GSB for a long time but needed to play around so here I am.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
That can be easily done. Market, my apps, maps, uninstall updates. Also make sure to uncheck allow automatic updates. Seems as though it has been enabled for some people. Welcome aboard :) hope you enjoy the ride ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
I'll second those reviews. I've been spending a lot of time working on fixing navigation using v 5.7 but I did take the time to install v15. Everything is running smoothly. I'm noticing very good battery life. And I haven't run any super charger scripts but everything is very snappy! Other than the maps issue (which I think is just about solved but need a little more testing) this rom is the most perfect my eris has ever been. Thanks cs for all of your efforts. I know you'll probably leave eris development soon, so let us know where you are going next. I'm leaning dinc2 at the moment, but may hold out for bionic or galaxys2...
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
Yep you need Maps 5.2 back. Here's the APK for Maps 5.2

I had to do the same thing. With the help of Titanium Backup, here's what I did (at the suggestion of another post):

1. Wipe data for Maps

2. Uninstall Maps

3. Wipe data for Street View

4. Uninstall Street View

5. Install the Maps.apk for Maps 5.2.

6. Reinstall Street View from Android Market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I'm not going anywhere for a while. I'm not due for upgrade until November still. I myself have an incredible now and I finally talked my wife into switching from her crapberry to the Eris :) she had the nerve a few days ago to say she might want a cryphone when we upgrade. I said that would cone with a divorce ;) lol. So she decided to try the Eris now and has since changed her mind. Right now I'm thinking dinc2 for myself right now but who knows what will happen between now and Nov. I do want to stay HTC though :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Got the maps back to 5.2, night try nav out later today or tomorrow for sure. This is the first that I've used ADW Launcher too. So far this ROM seems faster than GSB.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
I think it is, but more importantly it is less buggy than recent versions of gsb.plus cs is a great dev and very responsive to requests and suggestions. Welcome!
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
+1 :)

chlila
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Thanks for the compliments :) I still have a lot to learn to get where the other devs are though ;) I'll be doing research this evening on some other things once my laptop gets here to keep me occupied and keep me from going nuts again lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
aww, such a nice bunch.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
CS. This has to be the best ROM ever created for our little Weenies . Its so snappy....never seen anything like it on this phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Thanks shed! I love your roms too. You kept my eris afloat longer than it should have, and I'm very appreciative. I hope you don't let the crowd get you down, and if you love development then don't stop.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Interesting.... check this out. I haven't tried it yet but looks pretty cool :) 3.0 Sense style lockscreen for any Android :eek:

[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Off topic but any thoughts on the xperia play?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I haven't seen the phone if reviews myself. The xperias are supposed to be good from what I've heard from other users though :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Running maps 5.2 and the .jar that klob originally posted NAV closed on it's own in 55 minutes. Just went back to home screen. I am o'clock at 710.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
You shouldn't need to replace the jar file in v15.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Okay I'll switch it back and try again

.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Hey CondemnedSoul,

I'm looking forward to giving this ROM a try today! One question though; I've read through most of the thread and don't recall seeing this mentioned. Is there a flash to remove ADW & install Launcher Pro instead of Launcher 2? I have LP Plus so I'd prefer to use that. I can always reinstall from the market, but just thought I'd ask.

Edit: 1 more thing I forgot to ask: Are there any known issues with using the v6 supercharger?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I can make up a zip or lp can be installed from market and adw removed with titanium. Either way is fine with me just let me know. As far as I know there are no issues with using the super charger scripts. I personally don't use the though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Thanks for the quick response! If I can remove it w/ Titanium just the same, that's fine with me. No need to make up a zip for that!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Yes you can. Just be sure to install lp first ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Until installing this ROM I've been using Launcher Pro and have had a lot of redraw and partial black home screens. With ADW I've had none of this. Also ADW seems smoother, bit it could just be the ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
On other ROMS, I had that some issue. Once I applied the v6 supercharger script w/ Balanced 3 settings & HTK Launcher, that all went away for me. That is why I asked about using the script with this ROM!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
Yes..for some some reason ADW works much better..it has to as I couldnt get LP to work at all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I personally prefer adw and use the paid version. Everyone has their own preference though. I know a lot of people on this ROM use lp as well. Haven't heard any complaints about it in a while so I'm assuming they aren't having issues with it. Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Maps 5.2 works fine without any framework changes, so if you are happy with it, don't flash the maps jar. I'm interested in using newest maps (just because, I suppose, but I want to be able to cache mayo tiles too), which is greatly improved by replacing the maps jar file with one from a froyo based rom.

Fyi the eclair jar files work fine with maps, but other maps dependent apps like weather bug are affected. I'd stock with the group jar.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
CS (or anyone who can help),

So far I have encountered 1 issue with using the supercharger on this ROM. I chose the Balanced 3 settings w/ hard to kill launcher & followed the setup instructions from zeppelinrox's original thread here. However, thus far I have been unable to make the setting stick after a reboot!

The settings I chose are are suppsed to set the minfrees at 6, 8, 26, 28, 30, 32 mb yet they keep reverting to 6, 8, 16, 36, 40, 40.

I'm stuck here??

Edit: I am using update 8
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I think I might know what it is. Stay tuned and I'll check something out and hopefully post a fix for you soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Ok... if you have root explorer open it and navigate to system/etc/init.d and delete the S97ramscript. Then reboot and run your supercharger script. If you don't have Root Explorer you should be able to do this with EStrong file manager... open the app, hit menu, settings and scroll down to check root explorer then check mount file system. Hope this works for you.. it should anyway ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Awesome, you are the best!! Other than that issue, so far so good with this ROM.

My initial impressions: It seems very snappy & responsive even without the supercharger. I had no issues flashing & during my initial setup. Restored some apps from the market & some from TB. Did not restore WIFI access points through TB, but I think my gmail account backed them up? Anyhow, they came back on their own. Moving between 3g & wireless networks (work & home) everything has reconnected on its own thus far. Bluetooth connected right away. I'm liking your work so far!

One odd thing I noticed: I use the notification bar power widget. When turning 3g on/off & using the Cyanbread theme, the icon doesn't seem to reflect the change until I close the bar, then slide it down again. What i mean is, even after I've disabled it, it still appears to be on until I reload the notification bar. This is minor of course - cosmetic if you will, because everything still functions as it should.

Finally, another question: Where can I find the option to put the notification bar at the bottom of the screen as you show in the screenshots of post 1?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
I don't currently have root explorer installed. Can I use Astro File Manager for that? Or the built in file manager?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Astro will not do it and I don't remember if the built in one can have r/w permissions but I don't think it can. EStrong File Manager can though and is free in the market. I'll look into the theme issue when I get a chance and to address your other question. I don't have this on the Eris atm because I'm testing some things on Sense so from memory (it's not always the best) Settings>CM Settings>Tablet Tweaks for the bottom status bar
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
That's in Settings/Cyanogen Mod Settings/Tablet Tweaks
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Ok, I followed your instructions using EStrong File Manager, which seemed to do the trick. However, I went back in to script manager to verify everything worked, and the values reset to what they were previously. No dice, unfortunately!

Just out of curiosity, what was the file you had me delete? Do I need it? If so, is there an easy way to get it back?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
It's a script that runs on boot to help with optimizing memory and to help speed things up. The Original thread can be found in the following link. I also linked to it in the OP but it's hard to find.. I really need to clean it up a lot lol. I'll do it soon.. I promise. Kinda thought that script would be the culprit for messing with the supercharger script though.. nothing else should keep it from holding its settings. I'll take a look though. I'll also put together a zip that you can add the script back in or you can reflash the rom with a dalvik wipe only.

Here is the thread for the ram script...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Forgive me if this is a stupid question... You have been VERY helpful thus far! If I just go ahead & reflash the ROM with only a Dalvik wipe in order to restore the ram optimization script, do I also need to reflash cache2cache?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
CS,

I also posted this question in ZeppelinRox's original thread. I attempted the fixes he suggested as well & nothing worked. I ended up with the same result. Just thought I'd share!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Yes. A reflash of c2c will also be needed with that. Thanks for sharing the info about the supercharger script as well. I will definitely look into addressing that issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Reflashed ROM & C2C. I confirmed that S97ramscript is back where it should be. I'll be waiting on further info from you!

Again, let me reiterate: IMO, the ROM was runnning fine other than this issue with the v6 Supercharger! SMS, MMS, BT, WIFI, etc. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test GPS/Navigation but in any case, I'm a light user. I'm not sure my feedback would be as relevant in that area.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Navigation Patch

After extensive testing on CondemnedCM7 V15, I believe that the Navigation force closes many of us experience on the newest maps version is fixable (at least on Condemned's ROM; GSB users report that problems still remain) by rolling back google maps framework files to a version used for Android 2.2 ROMS. I have been testing since last week and have not had a single navigation force close. My longest test was 1 hour 10 mins with multiple reroutes and no force close. One known issue, Map application (not navigation) will unexpectedly close (that is, will not offer a force close but will shut down) randomly while using the search box. I have not been able to consistently reproduce this :confused:

I am attaching two zip files flashable from AmonRa Recovery if you would like to try the fix. The first replaces the current maps framework with the froyo framework. The second rolls back the change to the latest gingerbread framework.

If you are using maps 5.2 which CS included in the system apps for v15 and are happy with the result, then you do not need to flash this file. If you would like to use the newest maps app (5.7), you may wish to try this.

In theory, this fix would work on an AOSP or Cyanogen gingerbread ROM, so if folks on other devices are having similar problems, they may want to try.

Good luck everyone!
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
CS - gave the sense 3.0-like lockscreen free version a try. Pretty slick! the only problem is I can't read Chinese, so I have no idea how to read some of the settings menus. lol! Anyway, I'll see if it "pocket unlocks" like the stock eris screen used to for me. If not, it may be a keeper. Thanks for this!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Lol... didn't realize everything was Chinese. Wonder how much it would take to decompile it and translate it though... May be something to look into :rolleyes: Do the shortcut's work on it too? If so then I very well may have to look into translating it :D lol

Thanks for all the work and time you put into the maps issues. CM7 is back on the Eris now and I'll be working on an update for it sometime this week I'm sure.. I'll most likely mess around with the jar file that works with the new maps version for this update. Or until another update is made to maps that needs the new jar file again lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
It's not all in chinese, just some if the menus that allow unlocking of settings in the free app (it would be easier to just buy the paid app than to with on the translation). The camera shortcut didn't work right for me, but I suspect that is because I use miui camera. Otherwise checks out.

And on the maps thing, yeah nice for once to give something back to this community, since it's given me so much. Just hope out works for all and that I don't have one of tazz's perfect erises!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
So to say all that to a dummy like me:

Update Maps to 5.7, the reboot to recovery and flash the fix patch.

If we don't like it go back to 5.2 and then reboot to recovery and flash the unfix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
That's correct. Well. Except maybe for the dummy part ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Letitride:
Great, it's nice to know and it made sense on rolling back the framework ** files .... Been running V15 for a few days now, began with a full system wipe, clean install & June 2011 Gapp - flashed C2C after restoring/setting up my Apps. Using Maps 5.2 as is, GPS Status & Tools set to download/refresh once a hour as needed, not using SS scripts, etc. Happy to report/update that both Maps & NAV are running without FC's or freezes, moving map & voice guidance with turn-by-turn updating (no searching for GPS signal ....) and using Search/Voice Search functions while running NAV in Car Mode not causing FC or phone shutoff/reboot. Street View worked perfectly and used NAV for several point-to-point use too.

Interestingly, not getting Maps update alert from the "Market" and it's nice not to worry about auto-updating & problems later with 5.7

** I can affirm that the Eris running Shed's FroShedYo's most recently updated Vanilla ROM with Maps 5.3 ran fine, including Navigation.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Flashed klobkelosh's NAV patch after updating Maps to 5.7, on;y got to use it for about 30 minutes today but Nav worked flawlessly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Cs - I hear that cm had updated to 2.3.5?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
And I'm hearing rumors of V 16. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
Nicely done! ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Can't wait!! You're on top of things, well done CS!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
Version 16 is on its way...soon. CS used the Nav on ver 15 using map version 5.2 and was flawless .
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Looks like v 16 will be sometime tomorrow. My comp is being a j/o tonight and pissing me off lol. I have everything synced and ready just need to finish adding some things. If I can get things working right I'll upload it late tonight. Otherwise look for tomorrow evening. I need to figure out which maps jar file I should add for maps 5.8 too. I think the one in 6/13 gaps should be fine now from what I'm hearing so let's keep our fingers crossed. Lol. Sorry for the delay on the update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sir_Eagle:
Good news, can't wait to flash v16 :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Cs, yes out would seem that the gb 6-13 gapps version of the map framework is behaving with maps 5.8. No force closes for me. Thanks google - though wish I hadn't spent all that time finding a fix! Lol!
[Droid Eris Android Development] PillClinton:
Hey CondemnedSoul, whenever you get have time, would it be possible to get a copy of the wallpaper from the screenshots in the OP?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Yes. I'll post it tonight.
