[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Try changing the angle of the device slightly, if you can. I've noticed the backlighting on the softkeys aren't consistent and for them to be at their brightest, they have to be facing directly at you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
There is a free app in market called screen filter. it will allow you to toggle your backlit keys.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
I just found this thread, looking for a solution.

Neither Screen filter, nor LED hacks work on my rooted Dinc2, and the backlight for the softkeys is always on, even when I put the clock into night mode. Is it supposed to be this way, or are they designed to turn off in certain situations?

MIUI video player shuts off the lights when playing video.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] T.M.M.L:
I'm running the Virtuous Unity 2.3.5 Rom, and it has a glitch in it that I can live with.

The soft key lights don't work at all. I've gotten so used to it, I hope that when they find out what the problem is, they turn it into a on/off function instead of removing the glitch.

First things first, we use agpsd(/system/bin/) & not gpsd(/system/vendor/bin/)

so for anyone compiling a kernel will need to modify their init.rc:

#service gpsd /system/vendor/bin/launch_gps.sh
# socket gps seqpacket 0660 gps system
# user gps
# group system inet

# +STE GPS Daemon
#GPS_CHIPSET_STE_CG2900
service agpsd /system/bin/agpsd
user system
group system inet
oneshot

Everyone please thank cmenard for being amazing & quick to provide us with a magnificent JVP kernel with GPS support :).

These files should work on any Gingerbread, but I've packaged this with a JVP kernel so be warned. I'm going to try and see if I can get it working with just init.d support or something later.

Alright guys, I couldn't get it to lock again, but we're close. It is running in the background but it's not quite locking. Something is off. I will dig into it more later tonight but I gotta run. If anyone smarter than me can figure it out, I'm posting what I have. I believe it's a permission issue somewhere.

http://www.multiupload.com/S4QY6MN2BB

REMEMBER, the kernel is for JVP ONLY. It's included in the flashable zip

The issue

If you turn your phone on with GPS enabled, it will find a lock great! However, if you turn GPS off & back on GPS never starts back up.
[Vibrant Android Development] AngryDinosaur:
you are amazing!!!

its a good start

those useless fools at samsung should be fired
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Lol why? They gave us the files
[Vibrant Android Development] Segnaro:
Samsung is the one wrote the drivers for the Galaxy S 4G's gps. We're just lucky that it seems to work on Vibrant too. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
People are a little annoyed that it took so long. Not to mention that we get a leak for sgs4g, and not the vibrant. But hey this means I get to get back to flashing like mad again..... I hope.... lol

Finally going to try a GB rom soon on my phone..... woooohooooo lol
[Vibrant Android Development] rogerchew:
awesome!! looking forward to see progress on this!! i hate my gps!!

[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
You're a champ. Always looking out for other users ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Longcat14:
With the JVP build that Birgertime made for us, I haven't had ANY battery drain. Hell, GB actually uses less battery for me then Froyo, it's kinda shocking lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Battery drain is a NON-ISSUE on 2.3.4/JVP.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
I can't wait for a GB that's tweaked by EDT plus not needing to flash a bootloader. A leak for the vibrant would make a lot of difference. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
The leak is for the galaxy s 4g. Somrone correct me if im wrong.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Honestly? Flashing the bootloader was relatively painless. Getting recovery working after that was painful, but I think that's something I did wrong with the kernel (still not sure what)... But as long as your computer doesn't decide to go blue-screenie mid flash, I don't see how you can mess up the bootloader process.

I switched to JVP yesterday myself and the battery has been great. It's almost time to welcome our Gingerbread overlords. Now, the question is - Does this leak bode well for WiFi Calling on GB?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
delete the angrygps.apk!!!! 8 locks instantly after doing so. Birger better get a million thanks since ALL of you are gonna use this.

edit - dont.delete. rename .bak and then undo.

Anyone one else still having issues after renaming angrybirds... Jk after renaming AngryGPS.apk to AngryGPS.bak then back to AngryGPS.apk. I'm not seeing any satellites, using gps test
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Using GPS Test it took me a long long time (10 min) for the first lock. Then all was ok, kinda sorta. Not nearly as stable as under froyo but a great start.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Yea I renamed my angrybird!!!

AngryPolly...

AngryPolly was angry because she saw no Crackers in my hand. :cool:

Same here. It took about 10 minutes or so for GPS start working.

After that it has been working great.

Oh I took it off of Asia settings with FasterFix in the apps to Northamerican.
[Vibrant Android Development] GYM_RATttt612:
Same everything but google maps works.
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
Google Maps work for me too.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Dont know what i did but it stopped worjing. Saw soneone posted to dl faster fix and change to north america from asia.
[Vibrant Android Development] degeneration:
I was using my gps with maps and foursquare today. The initial lock would take a good 30 seconds but then it woud be very accurate very suddenly. I froze angrygps in titanium instead of renaming it.
[Vibrant Android Development] cgingermany:
I agree that is crazy talk!!! LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thanks for the advice on freezing. It worked. This is just 3 sexonds after opening maps. No wireless network aid on. Just plain gps.
[Vibrant Android Development] wizern23:
mine stopped working today. i tried using it to get to a party and it wouldn't lock on even though i waited 5min before i left
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackHoleDroid:
so we still need to rename angrygps.apk to angrygps.bak after flashing the file in the OP?
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Are you sure the GPS works in your phone? 30 meters is 100 feet. I thought the GSM radio alone can have 100 feet accuracy.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
yeah right.. my GSM Radio never locates me any closer than 4 or 5 blocks away.. only good for general location like what city Im in.. If you notice maps always gives you an "estimated accuracy" that is usually way off.. says 30M for me too and its locked onto my exact position give or take 5 ft..
[Vibrant Android Development] wrek:
flashed this, phone won't boot. :( CM7 nightly.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
damn bro, that sucks
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:
So many ways to flash. Did you flash per instruction in the OP?? A lot of people flash this rom per instructions and it works fine. I just flash the GB Bootloader which gets rid of the rainbows so you can see what is installing and it works. I also have Hulu, Netflix, and now GPS working. It is worth trying to flash exactly per the instructions. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
Which part of "this works on JVP only" didnt you read...

If you dont read OP, i wonder if you will read this?

I wonder what is smarter you or your smartphone?

@ birger, maybe incorperate some sort of math problems into the download link or post a sign.... you must be at least this intelligent to flash this fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Call Apple. Your new iPhone is waiting. Oh... wait... you have to follow instructions for jailbreak too. Maybe you need a Nokia 5160.

Jellette gps fix 1,angrybird defrost,2.3.4Blitzkrieg
[Vibrant Android Development] cellneuron:
Is there any progress in this project? The GPS works, sort of. But it is not stable and loose signal too easily. Locking time also pretty long. It seems this drive is a only for the GPS chips, and Android should have some kind of modules which combine signals from radio/wifi info into GPS into to assist the fast lock.

While GPS in Froyo is not so accurate, at least it is reliable and come be used for a long trip. This GPS in GB is good for concept-presenting, but not a real trip. Today I drove only 20 miles and lost signal 4 times (almost half trip has no signal.)

We are almost there, keep working, thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
gps fix

I honestly believe this is nothing more than a continuation of the variable results everyone has always gotten from the Vibrant GPS. There are others who are reporting navigation working with no problems. I'm hoping to be one of the lucky ones. It will take the same tweaks/fixes we've always had to use for you to get the best results. I'd just stay tuned others with you same or similar issue will find solutions.
[Vibrant Android Development] lapdog101:
I read this post and decided to test my gps with navigation on my commute home. I did not lose signal once in 42 miles. I don't know if I did anything special, but I have left gps on since I first got lock after flashng the fix. I did make sure lGot lock before undoing the change In angrygps ..........or maybe just lucky

[Vibrant Android Development] MailenJokerbell:
Haha, reading the OP made me realize why my friend ****ed up his phone after flashing a Gingerbread ROM on top of CM7.

Guess it was the fix the ROM had.

Geez, I told him a million times to not flash anything that needed ODIN (he can't connect phone via USB).

But anyways, thanks dude.

This GPS fix is the only reason I finally started using Gingerbread.

i'm on SimplyStock 2.3.5 (JVT), this work for me?? Does anyone already try this???

sorry for mi poor english :confused: :(
[Vibrant Android Development] morfeus333:
it works

i answer my self, it works on JVT, but i lose the color mods for Voodoo Control App :(
[Vibrant Android Development] morfeus333:
Now i always have a talon kernel flashed, and the kernel of this thread on the SD, wen i need gps for a trip, simply flash the bullet and when i don't need gps i flash talon for a real good settings of screen of voodoo control color app. :p

sorry for my shi...tty English :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
IIRC bullet is Odin-Flashable which means you'd need a computer to flash. If so, it's not very practical to alternate between the two kernels...

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
if you package up the redbend_ua and zImage file in a CWM3 flashable, then you can flash it in CWM....as well as using SGS kernel flasher...thus making it really easy to switch between the two
[Vibrant Android Development] morfeus333:
Exactly

exactly, that's what I did, I put the "zImage" file in a flasheable ZIP, and I have two flasheables kernels for CWM in the sd. :D

For my "simply stock GB" is the perfect rom.

but I am always with talon kernel for their compatibility with voodoo Color Control but without gps support.

I wonder if there is a kernel like Bullet with gps, but that includes compatibility with voodoo color control app. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] thachosenone:
I liked bullet when I was on froyo, but GB bullet has too many bugs, and no longer supported. only thing I need it for is GPS, and I don't need GPS that often. for me, talon is the way to go
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
yes it is for the SGS4G. I'm just saying that the vibrant leak would make the forum alive again. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] AngryDinosaur:
exactly, but samsung will let us wait
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
The leak *is* for the SGS 4G, however, the phones are nearly identical and therefore, it is 99 44/100ths as good as a Vibrant leak. Some tweaking necessary, but it allows us to say "sayounara" to Froyo.

Of course we must wait. If they released two leaks in one day, what would they do to pacify the plebes next month?
