Just to clarify, this is NOT for use with the stock FroYo ROM, correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
You shouldn't need it. Stock sense already has perfect GPS and cm6 which is what your talking about uses those same drivers.

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

I'm on CM7 Nightly 225 for the EVO 4g and this fix worked great for me!

[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Oh yeah works great, but if you're on nightlies sucks to do every day. Lot of work to swap ROMs and double backups and such. Why I stick with the Qualcomm v1.1 driver from this page. Works great and takes seconds to do.

Oh man. This is my first time flashing any nightly and I didn't know I would have to do that process for each new one... crap. :eek:

I have my rom set up with my kernel and all of my apps, etc. Will I have to wipe everything, flash the nightly again, flash kernel, then GPS? Or can I (hopefully) just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the GPS zip over my existing rom and kernel?

Thanks for the heads up!

-Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Oh the nightlies process is easy. You don't have to wipe your entire ROM/settings away with each upgrade. Installing a new nightlies will overwrite any mods like GPS/kernels/etc.

Basically, as always suggested, backup your current ROM first. Then clear your dalvik and cache. Install the nightlies. Then before rebooting flash any other mods back in. Like for GPS, kernel, etc. I always 'fix permissions' as a good measure. Then reboot your phone and all should be well.

That's about it. Hope that helps! I've been flashing nightlies since CM7 hit v2.3.3. Always worked for me since I found the MIUI GPS fix thread here on XDA. If you have further questions feel free to ask. I know it can be a little nerve racking before you get into routine.

Installing Drivers

I apologize up front for this but I'm a noob and haven't figured this out yet...

I rooted my EVO 4G and went with Cyanogenmod and have had problems with my GPS and found this this thread.

In plain simple noobie language, can someone explain to me how to install the Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver?

Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Download the ZIP driver you want from the first page of this tread. Save that to your SD Card, root or /sdcard/ is good enough. Reboot to your recovery of choice. From there clear your cache and Dalivik cache. Select to install a ZIP file. Choose said GPS Driver ZIP file. Install the ZIP (if your recovery has that extra step). Go back and do a 'fix permissions'. Then reboot to system.

Basically that simple. I'd give you more details but with three different recovery types the options are different. But if you've rooted your phone I hope you have a little understanding with the recovery of your choice.

Hope that helps. And with CM7 I have noticed you just have to load s different GPS Driver for some model Evo4Gs... nature of the beater. Not too hard though and very helpful.

broken wifi

Hello, I am running ICS mod 2.5 and I flashed this GPS fix, now my wifi is broken. Anyone else experienced this?

I flashed the 1.1 .zip, I am currently restoring my full backup with fingers crossed. Hey, you said that the nightly s flash over the kernels and the radios and all. would this fix my wi fi issue if my full backup doesn't?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4g4me:
regulatory domain?

ok... so I tracked down and flashed all of the current radios (Caulk made that easy!) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

I flashed these wi-fi N drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158629

wiped 3 times reinstalled ICS mod 2.5

to still have the issue. So i was reading around and I found a post where someone said something about the regulatory domain. So i quickly looked online for the correct setting for our evos, I didnt find it in the 5 seconds my ADD would alot so I decided to loginto my DD-WRT and wet the wifi channel to the highest and the evo's regulatory domain to the highest and boom everything works great-

Im not sure why this all happened after flashing the GPS fix but ... it did. Maybe this will help someone. At least I Got my flash fix tonight!

o and BTW the GPS lock seems to be working now too!
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
The regulatory range is meant to basically choose which country you're in. The US does like 11 or 12 channels, and Europe and other countries use the others.

I tried doing that once but had issues getting my other WiFi devices (like laptops) to work properly then. Good luck with that!

[EVO 4G Android Development] xsisbest:
Just wanted to mention that I used to always have to flash back to a sense rom to get GPS to work on miui. I was told about GPS fix, an app in the market for free...I was pretty skeptical considering I've tried every fix in this thread and nothing works cept the sense flash back...this app somehow made an instant lock for me. I backed it up with titanium and now everytime I wipe and reinstall aosp it locks on first try everytime. Just wanted to mention this as an option. Just turn on GPS and within GpsFix click start fixing. Hopefully the magic works for you!

Sorry if this is a stupid question :p

But how do I determine which driver I need (or which chipset I have)?

I have cyanogenmod 7.2 and I have been having this problem since 7.1. I downloaded and flashed the GPS_Supersonic_Fix_Flash3.zip in the latest amonra but i still have "waiting for location" and "location can not be determined" basically. I've tried the GPSCLRX multiple times and still the same problem. What am i supposed to do?:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
have you tried the sense fix? flash back to a sense rom and download msl reader in the market. Write down your msl then in the dialer dial #GPSCLRX## then enter msl phone will reboot then nand back to cm7
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
yeah sorry i just edited my post . I have tried the flashing to sense rom and inputting that code multiple times. I mean it works a little at first but then it goes back to waiting for location...all the time. :/ I also have downloaded the gps status and toolbox from the android market and cleared the AGPS data but still the same problem.

The new Qualcomm 1.1 driver seems to work for everyone except for me ://

My gps is spotty. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but i can say for the majority it doesn't work

[EVO 4G Android Development] kz6fittycent:
Just to add one point to the sense method. Make sure when you reboot that you leave GPS on on sense rom. I guess the system records it being turned on. It works every time for me. Otherwise not.

Yes! Need to put this on the Ice Cream Sandwich GPS fix list!

I was hesitant, not knowing if these fixes are OS level dependent (just for GB) but it did the trick for me on Team D.I.R.T. RemICS-UX 1.3.1 (CM9 Port).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joe_coolish:
So, I'm a pretty hard-core windows guy (Always have been, always will be) and I LOVE WP7, but since the only phones I have access to are my HD2 and my wife's droid, I really haven't played too much on the WP7 dev side of things.

Well, I just tested the Android waters and let me just say WOW!

First off, the whole installation of eclipse, adk, the emulators, etc took 1-2 hours tops. It took me most of 1 day just to install Visual Studio!

Once I got through a few of the quick start tutorials, I was off and flying. Other than the few minor Java-isms that C# has trained me to fight against (primarily String, not string...) Everything has been smooth sailing.

Some of the things I've noticed that I really like are:

XML based UI

Easy animation of UI elements

Native support for drawing images with transparency (who'da thunk?!)

Good seperation of concerns (good file and folder structurs)

Intuitive application flow (onCreate, onDestroy, etc)

Stability and consistancy from emulator to device.

So, while I'm not giving up on WinMo or WP7, I will definitely be doing some work on Android :)

If there are any other WinMo turned Android devs out there, I'd like to hear some of your experiences as well. Let me know of any growing pains I need to be aware of!

Thanks :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chacharach:
Hi, I've had a weird problem where Go SMS Pro seems to have disappeared from my phone. I clicked the icon for it on my LauncherPro dock last night only for it to tell me "could not launch the requested activity." I looked in my app drawer and lo and behold, Go SMS Pro was gone! I tried reinstalling it from the market but once it finished downloading nothing happened, and when I tried restoring it from titanium backup it made my phone reboot. Using root explorer, I found that the app still had data on my phone in several directories, but according to Android the app is not installed at all (so I can't uninstall to remove all that data and start fresh).

What I think may have caused the problem is that I used Apps2SD to move Go SMS Pro to my phone so that I could get the widget to work properly. Could something have been corrupted that way? Also I flashed Infused v1.5.0 yesterday, but I don't think that's the problem; I wiped data and cache, although maybe restoring the app+data from TiBu after flashing messed something up. I didn't have any problems until after I moved it with Apps2SD though.

Basically I want to be able to use Go SMS again (I prefer it to the stock messaging app), so I figure I have to delete all the old data from it from my phone. If anyone with a better working knowledge than me of Android's infrastructure could help me figure out which directories I need to delete data from if I want to be able to do a clean reinstall, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugo87:
Probably not because they have different framework. You will probably get a bunch of force closes. If images is what your looking for than your best bet is to ask a themer if theyll port it over for you.

Question. I'm on v1.8 FroYo and if I want to switch to this do I need to be at a computer to use adb? Before I switched to a GB ROM and after it loaded in CWM I used adb to reboot to bootloader instead of the O/S to then go into bootloader. Just curious everyones method for switching from FroYo radio/ROM to a GB radio/ROM.

Beautiful Widgets is your friend. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
No PC here :). I flashed the radio in hboot, the bootloader loaded ok but it takes a few seconds for it to respond to volume buttons for some reason. After the radio flashed I wiped data/cache/system and then flashed the rom. All without a hitch :cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
The only thing I was worried about really was the fact that after flashing MR2.5 it will boot up to a FroYo ROM until I can get it into Recovery. Didn't want to brick it. Thanks.

Fantastic, but it doesn't answer his question.
