Quick hardware update:

I ordered some new parts today. I will be installing most of Johns "parts list." I ordered all of the parts that I did not have including all of the resistors and stuff. I also ordered a longer antenna cord that I will be installing onto the antenna. I'm hoping this cord will allow the antenna to be located in a better location where the signal will be stronger. I will keep everyone posted.

Software question:

Last time I talked to roebeet he said that files libgps.so and init.rc might have to be changed for gps to function properly. I took a look through the libgps.so file and there is a lot of info in it. Honestly since I know very little about software someone else should take a look through this. I have a feeling that this file is pretty critical for gps operation.
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
There is no source for libgps.so. It's a binary blob that is pulled from a working tablet when a firmware distribution is built. On CyanogenMod, libgps.so is one of the many libraries that are pulled that way. The others are the Nvidia graphics and sound libraries--see here:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...7eddc5629f681a0768e2bfdd90c1/extract-files.sh

I am looking at the interface between libgps.so and the Java code, which seems to be these ones below, but, I'm not very hopeful that it will help--my feeling is that our problem needs a Java side fix.

[G Tablet General] fosser2:
I pm'ed roebeet last night on the issue. Here is what he had to say.

I am wondering how it got fixed. Since I am running a 1.2 based mod (that is based on the adam kernel - Brillant Corners 1.2.0) I am surprised that it is not working. Mainly because it now works for Adam users...
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
So am I, now. ROM update could mean update to libgps.so, update to the shared libs used by libgps.so (yes, it has these), updates to the core Java libs and apps, or to the libloc API libraries or to all of them.

If the Notion Ink people have a git repository I could look at, I could trawl through the changesets there to see what they fixed and how they fixed it.

It might (might) also help to look at an Adam ROM zip file. A quick comparison between the files there and the files in a TnT-Lite distribution might highlight some differences also.

The kernel is not a problem--we can read data perfectly through the serial port now. It is Android that is mysterious.

Herbert1 might be working on that--remember he asked how to enable the GPS? My guess is that he wants to read the NMEA data on his own, parse it and then feed it into Android by replacing their GPS Provider with one that he intends to write. It might not be the Android-approved method to read NMEA data from a serial-port GPS, but it might do the job.

libgps.so can be found in /system/lib/libgps.so

NICE! I can't wait till you get them! If you have any questions during installation post them, I'll do my best to answer them because this is my exact setup. Now if only we can get the gps coordinates switched...
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
I'm not sure if anyone has seen this page. But it does have a lot of usefull info about the gps on it...

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html

EDIT: being my desperate self, I decided to attempt to NVFLASH the Nortan Adam Ink ROM to my G-tablet. Moral of the story...extremely bad idea. I just wanted to pull the file "libgps.so" out of the ROM. Here is a link to the firmware LINK I am not smart enough to decompile system.img. I am pretty confident that the file that we need to change is this "libgps.so" I tried a few different versions of this file on my tablet and every time it stopped the gps from working. I am hoping to obtain this file from the Adam Ink and try using it on the g-tablet. Reason being is that the Adam Ink did actually have the same problem that we are experiencing. If someone can get me this file I'll try it out. Lastly, I was able to put my tablet back into APX mode and re-NVFLASH. The Adam Ink firmware switched the APX mode hotkeys, so to boot APX mode it was vol + and Power. I'm very lucky to still have a tablet :p

EDIT2: in the file "libhardware_legacy.so" it specifically talks about "no GPS hardware on this device" I'm not exactly sure if this file would affect anything but it is definitely worth looking into.

EDIT3: I had one last thought. If we were able to score the official Ztab rom could we just extract the gps information from that and get this working?
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
rajeevvp,

quick question. Every time I run unyaffs.exe it gives me an error "The program can't be started because cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." When I manually added the "cygwin1.dll" file to the folder it produced a new error. "The procedure entry point cygwin_create_path could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll." What am I doing wrong to extract the system.img file?\

EDIT: I also tried running it through command prompt and I am still getting this error. I suppose I am using the wrong running parameters to get it to work.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
sounds like the wrong cygwin1.dll
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
Ah, nuts!

I compiled that program using the gcc in Cygwin. The executable thus produced needs a Linux API -> Windows API compatibility library called cygwin1.dll. I've attached this library file now. Just keep it in the same directory as the unyaffs.exe file.

Wait an hour and I'll also send you a link to a zip file containing the extracted files.
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
Nice, It's extracting as I speak. I'll let you know the status in a while here.
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
AHHHHHHHH IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REPLACE THE "libgps.so" FILE FROM THE NORTON ADAM INK AND IT GOES!

HERE IS THE FILE!

EDIT: ok sorry for the freakout (I'm just really happy :p ). The gps does now work like it is supposed to. Google Maps and Google Navigation both function like they should. I will be messing around w/ other programs in a bit here. Thank you to everyone who has devoted time to this project.

EDIT2: In the next few days I will be writing a tutorial complete with pictures and such on how to install one of these in a G-Tablet. I'm sure for all of those that have been following this thread you will be very happy.

Will this .so work in vegan5.1.1?

Jim
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
Yes, this should work in vegan 5.1.1. Right now I am running Brilliant Corners 1.2.1 which is a 1.2 based rom. It has many elements of vegan built into it though. I will do some rom tests when I have time. It just sucks to downgrade bootloaders.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
is the new libgps.so the only change?

[G Tablet General] manikin13:
John, is the only difference between your setup, and fosser2's that the gps chip has a builtin antennae, v/s an external antennae?

@fosser2 -> can you please add an explanation as to the possibility of a gps chip with a bultin antennae if Twistedrotors confirms.

Thanks

This does appears very doable, and basically gives you a transformer clone almost.

half the ram, and an older tegra 2 chip. (-minus the ips screen) For those on a tighter budget.

[Nook Color General] Zhousibo:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045018

- Phiremod has some nice customizations and based off CM7

- Also chance to try HC4 if you feel like it. Although in the end, I just ran with Phiremod.

FYI, was using an 8 Gig Class 6 transcend for these and was quite happy. Have moved to pure CM7 on emmc as of last night and Phiremod is very comparable.
[Nook Color General] sicmadek:
Thank you guys a lot of good suggestions, I went ahead and bought an 8GB microsd but it's a class 10. I put the phiremod/HC dual boot on it and it seems pretty good, but every once in a while the nook will just pause like it's thinking. Is that the ROM or the sd card?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Higher class SD cards tend to suck as boot drives because they've been optimized for large, sequential writes (like taking rapid-fire, high-res photographs), whereas running an OS and apps involves lots of small, random writes. It really depends on the specific model, but Class 6 and above cards are often 50-100x slower than their cheaper brethren in the benchmark we need. This thread breaks it down fairly well, with some card recommendations (mostly Sandisk class 2 + 4):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633

CM7 on my 16GB Sandisk class 4 certainly seems to run faster than stock 1.2 on the emmc.

Hi. GameCIH2 was recently released to the Android Market and if you are as much of an android gamer as I am then you will want to know about it! The app let's rooted users hack games and get unlimited cash, ammo, lives, health, etc! Also with the latest rework of the app you can search for names instead of just numbers to find the values much easier. The app is like the PC Cheat Engine and it requires root!

I just wanted to let people know about it if they didn't already as I really like this app. :)

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] thronnos:
Nothing is supported in the lite version. Its a gimmick
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] VampireRollen:
I've used this app on a ton of games. It does work for some server based games, but I will not say which ones. To get out of lite mode you have to click the ad and wait 10secs. To work this app just find the value you want to edit by bringing up gamecih2 in the game and click Input Number, for example if you wanted unlimited cash you would type in your money amount and back out of gamecih2, Next you would spend some cash or make some. Bring up gamecih2 after each time you spend cash or make some and depending on if the value increased or decreased you would press + or -. Do this until you have only a few values come up then change the first one and see if it changes in game.
