IT WORKS

Holy crap, I went through the whole process of flashing the bootloader for GB, flashing the kernel with no rainbow, flashing the rom.... renaming angrygps.apk to angrygps.bak and reverting to angrygps.apk and holy ****.... IT WORKED GPS Locked on in about 2 seconds and it was spot on.... THIS IS AWESOME THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] ClubOK:
Do you flash fix from this Thread?
[Vibrant Android Development] nakagusukumike:
what you said!!!!!!!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Azure100:
Awesome Stuff EDT. I will just test my patience for another day or so when its finished. Love you guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] Solissfiend:
Yes I did flash from this thread. It sounds a lot scarier then it really is. Everything went very smoothly, just make sure you have everything (Files) Ahead of time and you will be done in 10 minutes :) :) :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ClubOK:
Thank's! But I have one problem - root explorer don't work. Crashed every time!
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
try clearing data/cache
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
great，I lock it

hopefully the turn off bug can be solved soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] xzlzz1234:
so crazy！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！thanks 4 U
[Vibrant Android Development] uurrnn:
I'm impressed. Hopefully we can get a neo8 kernel with this in it for cm7/miui
[Vibrant Android Development] ClubOK:
:( Sorry! The application Root Explorer (process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stoped unaxpectedly.Please try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Lololol. 10/ 12 sats
[Vibrant Android Development] kyle51:
reinstall ?? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ClubOK:
Reinstall, reflash all more then 5 times... :(:(:(

Maybe return to stock 2.2 and then try flash 2.3.4?
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
i noticed someone can turn it off and turn it on, dont need to reboot:confused::confused::confused::confused:

maybe he just made a mistake
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
does this mean that we will start seeing CWM flashable gingerbread roms with working GPS soon?
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Here's to hoping this fix will get into the Friday Vibrant MIUI update and / or ROMs that are based off that. This is the main reason I've been holding off trying it! Haven't flashed anything in months, might finally be want to do again (used to do so weekly). :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Do you mean you renamed it to angrypgps.bak and rebooted and then renamed it back to Angrygps.apk?? Or what do you mean by reverting to angrygps.apk.

Thanks,

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] wizern23:
you dont have to reboot. after you name it to angrygps.bak just rename it back to angrygps.apk
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedrz:
Where is angrygps.apk located? I flashed the kernel in clockwork, which abruptly restarted after flashing, but don't see it in /system/bin using adb shell....

Update Nevermind, it's in system/app/AngryGps.apk
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Angrygps.apk is in /system/app.
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedrz:
Does it matter if it was renamed back lowercase or uppercase?

I notice i get birds in GPS Test, but when I try google maps / navigation on Blitzkrieg, still nothing. I also lose birds when i try GPS Test after trying google maps...
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
Whoa. Did anyone test that they get working maps and nav?
[Vibrant Android Development] maormark:
Thank you birgertime this is great news
[Vibrant Android Development] silverdrag:

Compass was reversed
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
thanks I will give that a try.

[Vibrant Android Development] Lo N Slo:
My thoughts exactly #whatupGB @noHomo

I have wanted to jump on GB for soo long but I cannot live without GPS on my phone, this is exciting!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
I tried to rename angrybirds but can't seem to get any locks or see any satellites even when outdoors.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
not angrybirds..

angrygps.apk -> angrygps.bak -> angrygps.apk

read back through the thread Whitehawkx has mentioned this several times and in more detail.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
LOL. Angrygps. I have read through it. Going to try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
Navigation works
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
After renaming to .bak and then undoing I had to enable GPS and then reboot for it to work. If you turn off the gps you have to turn it back on and reboot for it to start working again. Seems to be a hiccup with the AngryGPS.apk. I'd love to look into this, but family arrived in town yesterday so I won't be as android productive for awhile. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
Man this is exciting as hell.

Can't wait till devs start including this fix in their Roms. I'd probably **** everything up if I tried to flash this now.
[Vibrant Android Development] etichola:
So, the compass is the only problem? Its reversed, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yeah, fix it. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] BossMan809:
Finally the tasty GB for the vibrant. Like many have said on this thread, the vibrant has back back to life!! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
I Dont get it.. what does every one mean back to life? 2.2 is still the OS thats on most android phones.. many are still on 2.1 ans with all of the themes and mods i never seen it as no longer alive..
[Vibrant Android Development] Hagarza:
How about that finally! Flashed this during lunch, working great. I thought we would never have gps and netflix working in the same ROM! Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] SimeonAS89:
I think they mean the fact that the forum kind of died after all of the 2.2.1 ports and such. Obviously Simply Honey was the first REAL GB ROM out. With the exception of SH, we should start to see more GB ROMS pop up since GPS seems to be working.
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
Has anyone tried this on cm7?
[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
FYI, Simply Honey is not the 1st real gb rom. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
It won't work with CM7.

I'm sure atin & codework will test out the newly leaked files from the SGS4G and test them out properly and update you guys when they're ready.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Double Rainbow was the first. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Yea it was! ROCK ON EDT! YOU GUYS ARE YHR BEST

[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
There you are the person who bring us 1st real gb has spoken :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
My F@#kin PC won't recognize the F@#kin drivers from F@#kin samsung. Odin can't find the F@#kin phone!!! SH!T!!!! (I'll never get to run any GB goodness. Not that I expect anybody to fix this crappin issue but damn.)
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
lol calm down boss.. Go delete the current drivers and re-install them not a big deal..
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedrz:
Not sure if it's Blitzkrieg, or this kernel, but device is super slow, until I move the scaling to ondemand in SetCPU. Was on conservative before, but was slow...

Will I notice a huge difference in battery life , ondemand versus conservative?
[Vibrant Android Development] sghsgh11:
You guys are amazing! I guess I'll be switching from Project V 6/11 to Blitzkrieg!
[Vibrant Android Development] go_l_den:
If you're running Winblows:

1. Plug in your "bricked" phone in download mode

2. Settings > Control Panel > Device Manager

3. Find the device (usually under USB controllers, if you're not sure unplug the phone and plug it back in and see which new device comes up)

4. Download Samsung USB Drivers (google it)

5. Right click > update driver software

6. Browse for the location of the drivers (the folder with the files you downloaded), Do not use the "search online" function

7. Click update, it should install the drivers

8. Launch ODIN, see if it detects your phone.

If it doesn't:

- Unplug the phone and close ODIN

- Open odin and set it up for a flash back to froyo, eclair, or whatever you're trying to do

- Remove you're phones battery, plug the phone in while holding both volume rocker keys

- Without letting go of the keys, insert the battery

- Gratz, ODIN should recognize your phone.

This will come in handy, I know it!

Double Rainbow all the way

What does it MEAN?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrosarioaz:
Lol that made my day someone renaming angry birds to get angrygps to work sorry not being mean but that was some funny chit!
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
LOL.

I was wonder how renaming AngryBirds would help the gps problems. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedrz:
Amazing using navigation working in gingerbread! gps-bread Hooray!
[Vibrant Android Development] Shermer321:
GINGERBREAD HERE I COME!! Great week in the community!

[Vibrant Android Development] eminembdg:
Captivate gets actual gb leak from samfirmware.com, http://bit.ly/lWI1FV, wouldn't these GPS files for captivate work better for the vibrants?

Sent from my badass Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
lol! that really was funny!
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Nope. Not at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
This is the one thing that irritated me about all the SGS variants. The captivate kept similar hardware to the UK I-9000, therefore there GPS was working with very little modding to the I-9000 GB leak. For some reason T-MO or SAMMY had to be unique with the vibrant. Stripped the FFC and swapped chipsets (I think that is all). This made the use of the I-9000 leak almost impossible.
[Vibrant Android Development] Longcat14:
It's funny how swapping the GPS chipset almost completely wrecked the GPS.

T-Mobile and/or Sammy failed on that one. >.>
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Indeed. I bet they didn't count on that. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Ok after testing the fix with Blitzkrieg 2.3.4, i found the GPS to be confirmed working using GPS Test and GPS Status and got 13 sats viewed and 11 locked with both programs within a few seconds :D Now I know both programs were accurate because my speed and altitude were both correct on the ride home from work. I switched to google maps hoping to see it working as well but it would not work it also did not work to find where I was wit a couple of other apps. The GPS fix did not work no matter what I tried or what I named Angrybirds LOL.

All I can say is keep it up guys you're almost there!!
[Vibrant Android Development] YetisAreReal:
Loving this fix I finally jumped on the gingerbread bandwagon. GPS is really accurate and take 25-35 secs to lock on from a cold start for me which is comparable to my lock times on 2.2 and 2.2.1. Google maps and navigation are working fine as well as any other GPS related program so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
[YOUTUBE]iT_mfrV64Ms[/YOUTUBE]
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
so currently the fix only works on jvp roms like blitzkrieg not cm7 or miui? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] mhseraph:
So... Before I switch to gingerbread, I want to know, should I anticipate problems restoring user apps with data from titanium? (I've never had any problems batch restoring my user apps with data on eclair and froyo.)
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
no i use it all the time your restoring should work fine
[Vibrant Android Development] mhseraph:
And yes, it seems this is only jvp
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
GPS is working on my Simply Honey 3.6

Cool. Finally got it working.

Navigation and Google maps are working.

Accurate is down to 12 feet.

Very nice. Now with Hulu and my Netflix working, I am very happy!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
I got it working, but I had to use adb to rename the angrygps file because Super Manager and Root File Manager both keep force closing. I'll capture a logcat if you're interested. I haven't run into any other FC's.
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
my GPS Started, but can not lock. i had renamed the angrygps.apk to angrygps.bak.

can not download the ephemeris by gprs.

i can not enter the gps LBS test mode using *#3214789650#.

how can i enter the LBS testing?
[Vibrant Android Development] TomJones30:
How did you get Netflix to work? I won't start on the SGSII Hybrid rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
You will need to edit your build.prop and change all your phone type to Nexus S. Reboot and you can download Netflix from the Market.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
u need to rename it again.

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] MichaelB91:
How did you get hulu to work?!? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
can anyone fix the compass
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
don't need to edit build prop anymore. .apk's are posted in blitz thread. Or in android themes and app forum. Also nothing to do with fixing gps

Beware of angry gingerbread man
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
thanks.

I rename the angrygps.bak to angrygps.apk.

then, i can enter the lbs test mode( angrygps).

i set the Operation Mode: MS Based

Start Mode: Cold Start

the gps can locked. but if i set the start mode to Hot Start.

it can not receive any gps signal.
[Vibrant Android Development] TomJones30:
You're awesome. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] degeneration:
Woot. Froze angry gps is titanium backup, got 6fixes/11sats indoors...
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
Does everybody's GPS work everytime? I make sure I don't turn off GPS but when I type in a new destination, it can't seem to lock anymore.
[Vibrant Android Development] vitality:
You probably have an old version of root explorer that doesn't work with gingerbread. Update your app and then it will work fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrosarioaz:
I have Netflix working with the cm7 nightly and the hulu apk I got from the toxic rom, on the first page. Both work but hulu is a resource hog and is slow, Netflix however works.perfectly no lag on 3g.
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
why would you post this in a thread pertaining to fixing gps? hulu has worked since 2.2 was out and netflix is a 2.3 item
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey guys I saw this fix works well if you are checking it with GPS Status or GPS Test but I could not get a usable fix using Google Maps while driving around town or any other apps needing gps for a location (Places, Flixter, Web).

I see some post saying it worked well with maps so I'm wondering if it was used while out on the road or indoors, if you guys where driving with it working maybe I'm doing something wrong, I did change the angrygps name back and forth and tried it with both names, nothing maps was useless.

Back to Project V for now, best damn ROM I have seen!!! and gps even shows which lane I'm on on the HWY just perfect :D

Thanks,
[Vibrant Android Development] oldfield16:
Even after renaming angrygps to and from again, it still won't work after shutting off and turning back on gps until rebooting. Take it this has been par for the course for everyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
just don't change anything.

you should reboot
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just for the record there is no need to turn GPS off. It only uses resources when it's actually being used. It's been known since Eclair and the days Team Whiskey, Eugene, and Master, seems like forever and some of you have only heard the names mentioned, were still active here on a regular basis that GPS is NOT a huge battery drain. So don't turn it off and you'll be golden.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Team Whiskey, eugene373, who are you talking about? See, no competition in the market anymore results in CM7;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Not with JVP. There are still issues with it.

After you turn it on, let it lock (or just try to lock) and turn it off, it doesn't properly turn off, and is still running. There's something still off....
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Well, well Team Whiskey, Eugene and Master were here about 4 months ago. It's not that much of an ancient history, is it? It's only that Vibrant gets kinda old and most everything that could be done has already be done (sans a complete CM7, but we're getting there).

Still I see no reason to update to anything new, and if the above will be used in CM7 or MIUI roms I would still sport one of the best phones out there (apart from SGSII there is none with such a screen, and with OC it is as fast as any phone out there)
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Right I understand that but just leaving the GPS on doesn't consume a huge amount of battery hardly any really and you can still move in and out of maps and GPS test apps or whatever. Sure a fix still needs to be had to allow turning it off and on but in the meantime there's no harm in leaving it on.

Just throwing my 2 cents out there for what its worth. GPS is working as good if not better than I ever had it on Froyo aside from the issue above.

Huge props to both you and cmenard by the way. Oh and whitehawkx for the tip about AngryGPS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Did anyone find a fix for it yet? Anything that winds up restoring .android_secure causes the phone to hang. It's getting really annoying, not sure if I read about a fix anywhere though.

EDIT

Just saw that this is a dupe thread, check here instead:

You need to have made a clean backup with Krylon360's FINAL CWM, not ROM Manager.

CWM Final is v3.0.2.8

I backed up and restored .android_secure via that version without issue. It's related to the Rom Manager version that causes issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Iv been looking into it with dsexton and its a file on your sd card. Also you should only use krylons cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
I had that problem with the rom manager version of CMW too but if you let it sit on the hangup for a few minutes then just hold the power button until your phone restarts let it boot and your phone will be restored
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] (smint):
So I flashed CWM v.3.2.0.0 from ROM manager v.4.3.1.5 but have not yet backed up the phone's original stock ROM. Is there a workaround so I can use krylon360's CWM FINAL instead?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Just dont use that..only use kyrlons
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] (smint):
no CWM love

Looking for some help here. I am unable to get into recovery and therefore cannot do a nandroid backup and get to ROM-ing / hacking on my phone. Here's what I've done.

In linux I used the following commands to write krylon360's files to my phone:

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#exit

$exit

adb push update.zip /mnt/sdcard

adb push recovery /mnt/sdcard

adb push recovery /system/bin

Next I've tried the following to get into recovery and make a nandroid backup.

1.) simultaneously hold down volume up, volume down and power button.

result: phone stops at Tmobile/GalaxyS splash screen.

if I hold down the power button and reboot, I get a frozen progress star and large battery icon displayed in the middle of the screen. This is the same result for every variation.

repair- pull battery out of phone, put back, power on and execute:

adb reboot

2.) execute: adb reboot recovery

result: phone stops at Tmobile/GalaxyS splash screen.

repair, execute:

adb reboot

3.) selected recovery from ROM Manager

result: phone stops at Tmobile/GalaxyS splash screen.

repair- pull battery out of phone, put back, power on and execute:

adb reboot

Any ideas?

You can restore all the apps, just don't restore system data if trying a different ROM. Sometimes it's OK but sometimes the system data will not be compatible

with new ROM.

I have my phone unlocked and I have the touchexplorer installed. I viewed a PDF about 2 months ago and I want to look at it again. Is there a temp folder that holds these documents and where is it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbebop7:
normally u would find all your pdfs in Adobe reader unless you deleted them, now if u did I am not sure but I do not think it would show up in temp or anything coz that would just waste precious memory.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Pdf Reader sometimes doesn't store files when you receive few different files with the same name. Like I receive my carrier bill having the same name every month. Because you can't rename files hence the conflict appears. Another great "advantage" of lack of file explorer.

And if in this case you deleted the email containing this file than Pdf is gone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floods7:
I was able to find the PDF by going opening the Adobe App (simple right..) now I would like to get it to my computer. I have it set so windows explore on my computer can access the files on my phone but where would that specific file be stored?
