Can anyone else confirm it won't show up in the app drawer? Works perfectly fine for me, and to others who I have helped with this.....

EDIT:

Do me a favor, see if its actually installed. Go to Menu, Manage Apps, then see if AngryGPS is on the list under downloaded.
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
thanks finally was able to do it. and angry gps worked fine for me
[Vibrant Android Development] igor.ibit:
awesome guide!

You should add the permissions to GPSD file to the guide. It does't work with the default permissions.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
already did lol. I'm updating as I go. Just put up latest GAPPS also. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] david_rowe:
Yeah I know its installed but I can't open the application
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
make a shortcut of it on your launcher

long press > shortcuts or something > angry gps

thats the way you can open it if you didn't install a mod version that you can open the actual app :D
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
The apk i posted should show up in the app drawer.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
This is a really helpful thread, thanks for making it Jweleon, i think my gps works a little now haha
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Thanks, tried to keep it simple and combine 4 topics into one. I just keep reading the forum on CM7 questions up the bunghole about battery and GPS problems I had to post something, plus I smoked alot of weed while doing it. :eek:

I just noticed my thanks went from like 7 to 18 from making this. Cool I feel special now thanks! lol
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Hey, this is the first time i'm havin this issue but.. when I try to install a app from market, it tells me I have insufficient storage...

but when i check settings...

SD card: avaliable space 8.11GB

Internal: availabe space: 1.52GB

Additional storage /mnt/emmc (idk wtf this is)

Available space: 1.68GB
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
instead of starting a new thread I figured I'd just ask on here. I've installed bali with cm7 on my phone and im new to kernels so I was hoping someone could help me get the best settings for the new kernel in order to lengthen my battery life. I've read that its different for every phone but I'm not even sure where to start. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Go to the first page and look through my thread, you will see a link at the bottom telling you how to adjust CPU freq. and voltage and what program to use, as well as my settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
If your checking your phone storage by going to menu - settings - storage

Under there is SDCard, Internal Storage, and External SD.

I'm just making sure that where you posted INTERNAL it is the actual internal sd and not something else... although from what you posted it looks correct.

/emmc/ is the new directory for the external SD Card in CM7.

Make sure that your apps aren't being stored to your SD Card? Other than that i'm honestly not sure what it could be, it has to be something you did.
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
downloaded and installed, but its saying that the kernel isn't supported so I cant get to advanced controls
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Just realized Bali cannot use Voltage Control, you have to use SetCPU. I again updated my guide, go back to the first page and check the bottom of my post.

There you will find a direct link to download SetCPU.
[Vibrant Android Development] OPTheory:
Great guide! Thanks a lot man - this will be helpful for a lot of people.
[Vibrant Android Development] cmrn89:
thanks so much for the direct dl and thanks for the help! i thanked your post as well, I'll try and figure out some good settings for setCPU, or ill start a thread on the Q and A forum and ill post them here so you can add it to the OP
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Thank you, as always i'll keep updating it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
When I replace gpsd I don't get GPS. The taskbar icon in the top wont even show, and no app will get the function. CM7 nightly 65. Did every step.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Hey thanks this guide is great.

So I did everything, now I have #62 + gps fixed and glitch kernel installed.

I also got the Voltage control and adjusted similar to your settings :)

Now what are Voodoo sound and colors and how do I use those when I got the new kernel? In fact I didn't see any difference once I installed the Kernel, except the boot time is longer now and there is a logo on boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Vooodoo Sound and Color are enabled by default on the Glitch kernel, i'm not sure about Bali.

All you've got to do is download the Voodoo Control App from the market, it's free.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Well, it won't search for GPS unless you load up a program like maps or nav or something that will require GPS to lock...

Secondly, when you replaced the GPSD file I hope you change the system file from Read-Only to Read/Write... otherwise you've got the stock GPS.

If you really are having some kind of funny problem, reflash CM7, and try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] ranse85:
Yes it does,thanks a lot for being so responsive,and if it possible i`ve got a question about camera firmware,i know its kinda off top,but can you give me some advice about changing camera firmware,now that i`ve done all the recommendations,you have posted the only thing i really don`t like its CM7 camera,the original Vibrant camera was way better,so any advice how to change it? Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
I found this, you may like this. I just tried it, just download the APK file, and then install the apk. It doesn't replace you're default camera, so you will have both.

Thats the MIUI camera.

Only thing I noticed that doesn't work is 720p video recording, but in that case you can just switch back to the stock camera, and record through there so it's win-win.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=644355&d=1309681613

You can also check out camera apps on the market, although most kinda stink unless you just wanna do cool things with your photos. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ranse85:
Thanks a lot,i have installed it,and it seems,much better than a stock camera,and another question about CM7,is there any in practical use of installing the newest CM7 Nightly,because there is no real description in there,what kind of changes had been made,currently i`m running #64,and is #65 is allready there,so do i need it flash it again,and if yes what benefits it will provide?
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
If you look in the changelog which is on the first page which i'm sure you have...

The nightlys each have listed what has been changed in them. If one is left blank that means there was no change.

I don't flash them all the time. I'm still running #58.
[Vibrant Android Development] ranse85:
Thanks a lot ;) next time i will be more watchful
[Vibrant Android Development] ScimmiaUbuntu:
Thanks a lot now my gps works!!

Not the same for the compass, there is a fix for that?

Sent from my 1.5 GHz Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] Raaaa86:
Thanx for GPS fix but i have one problem, first time i installed fix and tried gps it worked perfect never better never faster and that was yesterday, i tried again this morning but it wont even start do you guys have any idea why? Thanx
[Vibrant Android Development] Ultramegakungfu:
Mark another one for the GPS fix failing to work.

Followed the instructions, checked to make sure the gpsd file size was correct and still no GPS, doesn't even initialize now.

Guess I'll go back to waiting for an official resolution to the GPS problem, good thing I don't get lost too often.
[Vibrant Android Development] S1Cool:
Before of this:

I was in Froyo 2.2

Axura 2.0.4

stock kernel

900 in Quadrant apk

WOW nice guide, i did everything and this is my results...

CM7 number 60 with stock kernel i did 1700 in quadrant apk

CM7 number 60 with Glitch kernel, CPU Voltage at 1500 MAX, ONDEMAND

i did 2500 in quadrant apk

HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!

BUT I didnt test in normal use.. lets hope no reboots or something weird!

And lets hope a good battery life..!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I did GPS Guide, but the first time a GPS Icon appears and blink normally but no sign of lock any satellite..

Reboot

And I click GPS ON

GPStest but no Icon blinking and no satellite neither..

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Alright, for anyone still having problems, I have replaced 3 files and rezipped up CM7 and put a link on my main page and posting it below.

This is nightly #56, and I just tried it myself. Got lock in less than 30 seconds, everytime, and i've rebooted the phone 4 times now... Hopefully, hopefully this will show some results.

http://www.multiupload.com/98J3KCHAKB

There is the link, just copy it to SD and rebooting into CWM and install it...

Someone please post back and let me know results. Use GPSTest, and see if you are locking though... Try a few reboots, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] Raaaa86:
Ok after two reboots i got lock in 30s, accuracy 120ft and i'm not sure how stable connection is because it looses connection from time to time but i'm going to test it during this day while driving. Thank you very much this is something after few days without even seeing any bird
[Vibrant Android Development] Raaaa86:
OK i tried later also and again same story i couldn't get lock, phone doesn't see any sat at all. I dont know what else should i try. It's strange because it worked only first time for both methods angryGps and this one and connection was good
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Does it work on phone reboot. Could be GPS driver hanging, I do remember birger saying that there was an issue like that a while back. Maybe it's still continuing... Although everytime you used your gps it would work once then not again...

You could need to apply the hardware fix, you could have one of those really bad phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Question:

Should the angry GPS be active all the time? Why in the instructions you said we press the home button when we setup the angry GPS?

Here are some findings related to battery life:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16043649&postcount=6880
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
No, angrygps shouldn't be running all the time.

The only reason you have AngryGPS is to change the mode from msbased to standalone.

I find myself to personally get better results on msbased, but everyone else here says switch it so... Personally the GPS fix along with the different config file should be enough, I don't even bother with AngryGPS, it doesn't seem to do anything really.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
New GPS file and directions updated, thanks to Raaaa89 for pointing me in the right direction. GPS now locks in under 15 seconds with a 15ft accuracy indoors. Never seen my phone do this!
[Vibrant Android Development] ferhanmm:
Tried it on Miui, GPS test results are about the same as before the fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gamones:
I just installed cm7 69 and im coming from Bionix. Didn't have to install angry gps for the gps to work~
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Ok everything is updated for the last time. I did nightly #69 to my phone and realized you need to install the fix prior to the 2nd fix I had found as well. Now all works well and i'm getting locks faster than ever before.

I'm doing this as trial and error. So far one other person has reported that the old fix plus this new fix seems to work great, and i'm gonna have to agree. It was alot faster than before, and now the guide is updated so everything *SHOULD* work correctly.

Please always post back with results.
[Vibrant Android Development] BigAlex69:
It is actually still neds a correction. Perhaps it is me but when I copy executables for GPS fix (into ../bin directories) the files have permissions 666 (rw-rw-rw-). ES File explorer allows to change it to 755 (rwxr-xr-x) which is appropriate for them to run. After copying the files to /system/.. do a long press for properties, in the properties press permissions and make a change. Otherwise GPS wil not run at all. I spent some time pocking around until I have seen a post of igor.ibit which gave me a clue
[Vibrant Android Development] buhlerbuhler:
I just did the steps in the OP and also checked the permissions after copying the 4 gps files, I used es explorer and the "execute" box was not checked on any file I copied so I checked it and gps works great, got a lock 10 of 10 with gps status app inside on a cloudy rainy day. :)

Here's a screenshot

[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
jwleonhart thank you for the guide.

I have a question or two for you.

1. What are the advantages of mentioned in your thread kernels other than for UV/OC?

2. I know that if one wants to go back to Froyo from CM7 he/she needs to odin back to stock first. Is it still necessary procedure when using mentioned by you kernels?

3. Where can I download kernel that comes with CM7 for vibrant in case I want to go back.

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] igor.ibit:
1. Has additional features. Read about it on Kernel's page

2. Yes

3. You can just flash nightly again and it will re install the original kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
release these files as an android package (.apk) for a breeze of installation

Well thanks a bunch jwleonhart, for posting these files. I did get a GPS signal and it was working but not as fast as the 2.2 roms, not by a long shot.

I did not touch those other kernels because I did not want to risk breaking something else.

The installation was no walk in the park, nor was it a breeze but rather time consuming. Dont get me wrong, these files help completed my vibrant and enables the GPS which I need, being a new puppy in the City.

future request if you or some other partying member with the skills could release these files as an android package (.apk) for a breeze of installation this would be just dandy! :rolleyes:

Your contributions towards this rom are invaluable.
[Vibrant Android Development] srdjav:
I'm on Project V... So, all I have to do is to put CM7 on my sdcard and flash it? I don't have to go back to stock first, and/or flash gb bootloaders?
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
+1 on this.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Really?!

The OP does a Beautiful job supplying a EXCELLENT hold you by the hand guide, and also includes downloads for all the files needed. It literally took me 5 minutes from start to reboot and my GPS works better and faster than it did with any stock rom. I don't think it gets easier than this, while a android app would be nice, this is as easy as it gets.

Thanks for all the hard work putting this wonderful guide together!
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:

[Vibrant Android Development] Yinkavelli:
Great job for all the help on this forum. I am getting great improvements on GPS locks and I can only appreciate them thanks to you all.

At times the GPS doesn't appear, I reboot then I am fine. still an improvement

Glitch HL I tried..it crashed but i am good with the cm7 kernel for now.

Incoming calls however does not ring when I have my ringer activated no matter what I do. I re flashed the nightly....still no luck.

Any help you can offer?
[Vibrant Android Development] srdjav:
I did read the OP :) And I did read the thread you provided me with :) But I have to ask because it sound to easy :) And is something sounds to easy for me (noob) then I just have to double check it :) Thanx for the answer :)
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
GPS works great! I'm having some issues with the latest nightly (#71) and getting some errors.

Trying round two, if I can't get it smoothed out then I'll probably just go back to Bionix 1.3.1 for a bit longer.

The GPS Fix works fantastic overall though considering I'm indoors and it's a huge improvement over non-existence!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
really fast lock but when I use navigation, most of the it is accurate to to 90 feet. Not too good for me but it might be the best GPS for gingerbread roms right now.
[Vibrant Android Development] igor.ibit:
Did you try the ML glitch? Worked for me
[Vibrant Android Development] S1Cool:
Hi, jwleonhart.

This is just a gps fix?

Because Im on Nigthly 61, glitch kernel HL.

Gonna try it tonight. Ill post back with results.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Hi all -

gps fix didn't work for me until I ran the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 0755 /system/vendor/bin/gpsd
chgrp shell /system/vendor/bin/gpsd
mount -o ro,remount /system

Just changes the permissions on the gpsd file to executable. GPS indicator wouldn't come up until I changed the permissions. FYI for anyone having trouble.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
I won't release an apk, but I'll package all the files in a zip and release a script you can run from the terminal for a one-command install.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
I wrote a shell script to perform the GPS Fix installation in one line, if anyone is interested:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199613

Thanks to jwleonhart for posting the original instructions! My script just performs his exact directions, but the user only needs to type one line into the terminal to do it all.

EDIT: GPSFix installation, now with more CWM Flashable! Check out the thread :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
^ you should just create a new thread if its working man.

Regarding UV on Bali:

1.4-1: I did not UV

800: -25

400: -50

200: -75

100: -100

not very aggressive, but it works well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Yinkavelli:
I may give the ML a try but will be near a PC with Odin just in case, but does anyone else have issues with no ring on "sound" mode for incoming calls?

GPS hardware fix so far along with the software fix is awesome, someone is getting some major thanks for that

The new post with the shell command is also awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
jwleonhart -

In addition to needing to set 0755 permissions on gpsd, I think you need to set at least 0400 (i.e., r--------) permissions (I just put 0755, ie rwxr-xr-x) on the .conf files; and at least 0100 (--x------) permissions on the agpsd file. When I copied the .conf files over I noticed they had no read permission, and that made me wonder if Android is actually even able to access the contents of the config files.

I just set 0755 permissions on every file I copied over to make life simple. Seems to get me a faster lock after initially moving the files over..
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Guys please help me on GPS matter.

I don't get anything. I think I am doing something wrong.

What does this mean? when I use root explorer the path showing on top should be "/system/bin"? how do I go to phone root directory?
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
I took the files from the GPS fix that jwleonhart gave out and put them in a CWM flashable - get it here. Much easier process - just download, reboot to recovery, and flash. It'll install all the GPS files and set proper permissions.
[Vibrant Android Development] gregc2009:
Thank you so much for this post. I've been holding off on CM7 for a while because I was worried about it's stability and bugs. I'm pleased to say that this ROM flat out flys. The speed and adjustability of it are beyond anything else. I never would have flashed it if it wasn't for your easy to follow guide. GPS driving home last night gave me my highest accuracy ever of 12-13 feet!

I do have one question though, when I first flashed it, there was a live wall paper with lines striping across the screen. I switched to launcher pro and was checking different themes out and now can't find that wallpaper. Any ideas?

-Greg
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
I flashed that one too, it seems that I am missing something. Because I don't even get the icon of the satellite in the notification area, when I turn on GPS.

Still it's the same as before.

I will flash another nightly and will try this again.

Make a backup if your still unsure. BTW JWLEONHART, YOU ARE A GOD, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS THREAD. <3
[Vibrant Android Development] Yinkavelli:
