[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Take a step back and realise that he was offering a suggestion- it's really quite obvious that he's unaware that you already go through a debugging process with the GPS issues. You were hostile towards his suggestion. He got mad. You got madder. Was he right to get mad? Probably not, but the fact remains that he quite clearly came in here with good intentions, somewhat frustrated, and offered a suggestion and then it all blew up. It's not impolite, it's purely a case of assumptions. Like I said, if you disliked his suggestion, perhaps you should have ignored it.

I'm not patronising. Read my post again, especially the bit where I said I'm genuinely trying to help the situation.

Ad hominem attacks, huh?

Quite the opposite. I went to bed after posting last night, wondering if perhaps I could write up and maintain a FAQ myself to keep the monkeys off your back, and to offer something back to the community. Instead I come into work this morning, check the thread and find a pile of mad from you and some guy who insists on mis-spelling Windows because he can't grow up.

So stop answering them.

Newsflash: I use my phone for a variety of tasks for work. One of those is Satnav to get to and from customers. The successful operation of the device is more important to me than how it does it. Sure, I'm interested in tinkering and learning a bit more about it, but at the end of the day I'd rather be at the customer's site in as short a time as possible, than sitting at the side of the road fiddling. The phone is a tool- I guarantee you that the vast majority of people here have exactly the same attitude, albeit with different levels of interest about the underlying software/hardware.

Like I said before; I and many others are extremely grateful for the work that you do Alex. You and the rest of the CM team have given us an amazing ROM, way better than anything HTC could have come up with, and that's awesome. Am I going to roll back to nightly #32 or apply some slapdash patch to get something working that I need?

Damn right I am.

BUT. That does not mean that I'm not eternally grateful for the time and effort put into this ROM.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I was not referring to you. Read my post again.

I didn't answer a question.

You don't need to stress that every time you're posting something. By the way, if I did it for that I clearly quit open source development.

Which is – and I'm repeating myself here – the wrong attitude for the development board.

In a development section you contribute to development. You don't tell developers what to do. You don't ask questions.
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
Sorry to jump in, but previous experiences/statistics showed that the people that ask these kind of questions will never read a FAQ section. It is allways easier to ask than to search for yourself. If they could look into a FAQ section, they could also make use of the "search" function on this forum and they'll get plenty of threads/posts regarding this subject. But instead of reading through all of those, of course it is easier to ask...again...and again...and again. And besides concentrating on the code and trying to improve it or solve bugs, the developpers have to read also all these questions and answer and even don't get crazy...or sarcastic.

And is still "development section", we should have this in general. Maybe, as a suggestion, this whole thread should be in "general" instead of "development" (please don't throw stones at me for this). Reading through it, one can see that there are more questions, issues reported, "i like this" or "i like that", or "where is that feature?" (including my dumb posts), than actual code and "technical discussions"
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
My apologies, I mis-understood. No harm done.

Why not? I am grateful. To imply otherwise would be rude :)

Mmm fair point, but the point I was making is that the guy offered a suggestion- remember we have a language barrier here and something that someone says which may come off as insolent, was perhaps meant in a different spirit. Emotions don't translate at all well through the medium of the intarwebs.

Here's the deal. I'll stand good on my offer to make and maintain a FAQ for you, so you don't have to get mad or frustrated much anymore. PM me a list of the stuff that really grinds your gears if you have time, and I'll put it together with some other common questions, and see if it helps. It'll be my little gift back to the community which will hopefully help you out a bit. Deal? You get to set the record straight once and for all about flashing radios and GPS and other... thorny... issues ;)

Sound good?
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Good post, I agree. We can make a bit.ly link to the FAQ and just post that in response, or ignore the question altogether. Alex gets to do what he likes best (most of which, it seems, involves walking around his neighbourhood like a crazy person with his phone), people get educated (hopefully) and maybe the relatively small community we have here, grows a little.
[Legend Android Development] namtrac:
Hey ali;

No worries that I am not new to Linux or open source, fortunately. The thing is I downloaded libloc from git://codeaurora.org/platform/hardware/qcom/gps.git and looking at the code,

file loc_api/libloc_api/loc_eng.cpp

if (location_report_ptr->valid_mask & RPC_LOC_POS_VALID_HEADING)
{
location.flags |= GPS_LOCATION_HAS_BEARING;
location.bearing = location_report_ptr->heading;
}

looks like there is no conversion going on inside libloc. So I thought that if location.flags & location.bearing could be debug outputted it might get us somewhere.

You see in the end I didn't intend for harm, I actually checked out the code before commenting here. Next time you should try to be more friendly instead of trying to mock people I think.

I am stuck with this HTC Legend and I am trying to make it work and I appreciate your work on this.

Thanks.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
You could of course write such a FAQ-post, but I think apart from the smart people in here no one will read it. And smart people wouldn't post questions in the development board without contributing to development of anything anyway.

Nevertheless, a comprehensive FAQ is never bad at all.

I'm so glad no one shot a video of me running in circles on the street. Police didn't show up either.

Oh?

We are using a modified version of that but the lines in question are the same.

Right.

Do it.

I can only read and interpret your posts not your intentions.

There won't be a next time.
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
"no questions in dev forum" - just close it for -normal- ppl.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Please test the attached fix, car navigation preferred.
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Will do later, got a car journey to make anyway.
[Legend Android Development] cdfs:
Will also test this one and report back later.
[Legend Android Development] ikdegek:
Just tested with Google navigation and CoPilot in car. Quick GPS found, for both direction and speed are OK with mine Legend running stable 7.0.

So, no issues, just positive...

Paul
[Legend Android Development] cdfs:
Had a short trip, used CoPilot. For me, too, quick GPS-lock and direction was as it should.
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
Ali ba, is this fix included in the latest nightly (#42) or should I flash it over?
[Legend Android Development] Snowtoad23:
Thanks for all the hard work guys. I will test sometime tomorrow!
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Tested and working just fine. Thanks for the fix :)
[Legend Android Development] frullewulle:
Works perfect! Thanks a lot
[Legend Android Development] zengiman:
Flashed it over the former fix, still working like a charm. Thx
[Legend Android Development] namtrac:
Works as expected. Great work. Thanks!
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
wow thanks for this! works fine, very fast, i´m lovin´ it :D
[Legend Android Development] scoob8000:
Wasn't sure if this would be platform specific but I figured I'd give it a shot on my espresso device.

No such luck there.

But I see this in the Nightly 54 changes:

Change If18aa560: Convert bearing/heading from 10 bit value to degrees on locapi 20000

Going to give it a spin later..
[Legend Android Development] Snowtoad23:
Yes, so is this fix implemented in nightly 54? Is that change effectively the same thing?
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Todays build with gpsfix is go for download :)

[Legend Android Development] alain.duchateau:
GPs works !

For me after install nightly 55, gps fast connect and the compass work ( copilot & google Maps )

Thx !!!!!
[Legend Android Development] Paulb_:
I can confirm this. Build 55 and no more driving backwards or sidewards. tnx Chef!

Build 54 fixed it.
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Ali ba, should I apply your gps fix if I have upgraded to CM7.02 stable? I ran into issues with the gps pointing the wrong direction after applying it, but had trouble connecting without your patch.
[Legend Android Development] frullewulle:
if you had the gps problme after flashing 7.0.2, the flashing did go wrong

check your version number under settings phone info ...
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Not having the gps problem, mis-spelled it. I am having the compass bearing problem as can be seen in google maps when on CM7.0.2. Flashing the gps fix didn't correct it and after reverting back to the nandroid backup of CM7 stable the bearing problem is still there (and doesn't go away after flashing the gps fix again).
[Legend Android Development] frullewulle:
that is the problem that i was talking about

you should not have that problem if you have installed the 7.0.2

so check if your installation went wrong, controle you installed version in "settings /phone info" ...
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
frullewulle, compass bearing is working properly for me again in CM7.0.0 after Ali Ba's gps fix.

If I want to go to 7.0.2 from 7 and i flash it without wipe (per the recommendation of CM team on their forum) it shouldn't mess up GPS again right? I am asking since the patch was already applied to 7 before upgrading to 7.0.2.

Thanks a bunch..

EDIT: never mind, flashed it without wipe, everything is working satisfactory. Not poking this rom anymore for a while, "don't fix it if it aint broken".

Hi this post was meant to be a thx pm to supercurio, but as he doesn't wish to receive pm, i'll post it as a public announcement.

Our sgs wouldn't be really as great as they are if this guy wasn't do such magic ! As he decided to live from his work on it, i'd like that everyone using his stuff congrat him ! His rocking app is so cheap regards to the magic brought to our phones !!!

Thx a lot supercurio and wish u the success u deserve !

Here's the pm i'd wanted to send u ( in french of course ;-) )

Salut supercurio,

( je me permets de t'ecrire en francais :-) )

Je voulais juste te remercier pour tout le travail accompli. Nos sgs ne seraient vraiment pas les meme sans toi !

Je voulais aussi t'encourager ds ta decision de ne vivre que d'android et des donations. Je viens du monde tyranique de la pomme et je trouve l'univers d'android plus "open" et je prefere cet esprit. Je trouve ton choix tres courageux et quand j'ai vu le prixx de ton app je l'ai vraiment trouve donnee vu tout ce que tu as apporte a l'amelioration de mon tel. Je m'engage donc a te faire une donation en debut de mois ( j'attends la paie...) et je te renverrais le code des que c'est fait.

Voila je te laisse car avec la sortie des sources samsung je pense que tu vas etre occuppe !

Nicolas

PS L'app tu pourrais la vendre un peu plus cher genre 3e , tu le merites vraiment !!!

Merci encore.

If you really want to thank him, you can send donations to him via Paypal.

Overall: both thumps up!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mr_at_sgs:
I join this thanks-thread. So thank you very much Supercurio. It would be "supercurios" to see more voodoo stuff for Gingerbread, since the sources are out now, which means my second donation would be imminent.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nkotin44:
Yes i know, i've bought his app, and in french told him i found the app so cheap and that i'll make a donation as soon as i could ( this means when pay comes up ;-) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nkotin44:
And i think that few thanks words are always welcome for the great devs round here, they spend much time making our phones rocking, and much more time explaining, debugging, re- explainning ... so i consider making a donation for every rom's or kernel's dev i appreciate is the minimum to do, btw
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aegeuss:
I thank him and also Hardcore for their great effort with so many other chefs whose names I do not know.

But I think Samsung should thank and pray the developers and community here in first place :)

P.s. A lot of other rom, app and theme developers deserve much thx as well. U guys rock!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ohmlawx:
thx supercurio, XDA & all developers..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
Wow wow wow guys, I don't know what to say :o

I entirely discovered with XDA a kind of developer life and feel I would never have imagined before.

Basically, life of a developer consist of spending many hours in front of his computers and I was kind of persuaded it was not for me, as I love, no.. need interactions and learning from people.

I think, a developer life especially working at home, if you miss that can be really depressing (and experienced it myself a few years before)

But!

With discussion, requests, debates by mail/pm/forum messages, also IRC, the complicity with other developers growing little by little its night and day.

Competition friendly or not is also intense and its play a big role in motivation and inspiration.

Thanks you guy for your continuous support, I simply wouldn't be there without you, nor hacking, publishing and sharing stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stinky73:
Mille fois merci de Courchevel...si t'as besoin d'un "crash test dummy", ou de boire un verre (c'est pour me) je suis toujours dispo :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dr. Strange:
TY!

His technical work is really excellent, but what sets him apart from many others is the way he behaves. Despite being a very proficient programmer, he doesn't seem to be an arrogant guy at all. He's helpful, polite, and an active supporter of a real open source community.

The fact that he's diligently trying to iron out any/all bugs in his work is, ofc, a great plus.

Supercurio, if not for your kernels I would have sold my SGS a long time ago. Thank you.
