[HTC Inspire 4G] jkearn:
My gps has been crap in every Rom and radio I've tried. Maybe its a hardware issue. Then again, if that were the case, it'd prob not work at all. Sometimes it takes me 15 Monroe get a lock in car, sometimes never locks at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Don't pull your hair out trying to resolve it. It sounds like you might have a bad handset. I've exchanged 2 phones for defective GPS already.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Seriously! Wow, that makes me think I should get it replaced. Does it work on the handset you have now?

Did you have to un-root it before you exchanged it?

How long after the second bad one did you realize it was bad?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Ok, tried the East Coast.zip - No worky... I was really hoping it would to.

I am going to give another rom a try, maybe CM7 with the OTA radio. Not sure what else to try...
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I just tried to modify my gps.conf file to match yours and it gives me an error when I try to save... Tripple checked too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
What ROM are you using now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mr_underhill:
You could try this it always works for me when I'm having gps lock issues. I use method #2, and I suggest you read it very carefully, and follow the directions exactly as stated. Good luck, I hope you get this sorted out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I just flashed Gingerbeast. Using GPS Status from the market, I finally got a lock, however, the accuracy is only good to about 50m - I was hoping to use this for navigation - I do not think 50m accuracy will be good enough for navigation. Besides, I can not get it to lock using Google Maps/Navigation - Only GPS Status.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Sounds Scary... but I will give it a try...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mr_underhill:
I was a bit scared to try it as well, just triple check what you type into terminal before you hit enter and all should be well. I've had to do it 3-4 times and it always works. It's now the first thing I do if I have any gps issues. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Ok... No Brick ;)

40m is the best I can get it to lock down. It must be cablable of locking better than that??? My wife has a completely stock Aria - Lock to about 4-6m in about 20 seconds!

After doing what you suggested - did you install Angel Deaths patch?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I've had to replace my Inspire for gps issues as well. I had to go through the whole unrooting process to send in the old one. My replacement (see refurbished) gps works alright but no where, I mean NO WHERE as good as my wife's aria.

I agree that it's rather aggravating but what can you do? Unroot and get the exchange process started and hopefully you get one that has functioning gps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Looks like that is what I will have to do. I am currently downloading Roms 4 and 5 to try that - if no change - unroot I guess. Never unrooted before - but it cannot be any harder than getting root I would think.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mr_underhill:
No, I've never tried Angel Deaths patch. Not that I have anything against it, I just haven't had to. I lock in 5-15 seconds and have 4-6m accuracy, that is with the radio in my sig, when I was using 26.09.04.11_M2 it would take up to a minute to lock and accuracy was in the 15-20m range. That's just my experience though, it's different for everyone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzkid:
Hi all, just wanted to find out your opinions in updating from MR1 to MR2 aside from the facts that newer ROMs will only work with MR2 or 2.5. I'm still running ThunderRom with an MR1 radio and so far my thunderbolt's actually running faster than it was on the newer ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wool02:
The 2.75 and the release from chingy have been my favorites. Much better 4G/3G handoff than the previous radios. I do believe that every Bolt is different and will react differently to certain radios.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novafoundry:
I've had the best luck with mr2 under cm7 using dream kernel... that combo gives me the best battery life in a aosp rom.. mr2.5 was fine but seemed to drain my battery much quicker. Haven't tried mr2.75 though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Diablo67:
I've combed most of this forum and i havent seen this yet,this would be an awesome mod.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
Interesting about the battery meter, since the Transformer doesn't seem to like charging while it's powered off. Perhaps they were planning on not adding the annoying 'turns on as soon as you plug it in" feature and they changed their minds?

Either way, to be honest I'm fine just modding the bootanimation.zip since the first splash screen only last about a second under normal circumstances.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Diablo67:
Yes i'd like to see more boot animations,s6261 is pumping them out here hes taking requests also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] evilmonkey1987:
On the Viewsonic Gtablet, another TegraII device, the splashscreen was in its own partition, typically 6 or 7. The only thing on that partition was a raw bmp, and taking a dump of the partition with nvflash and opening the resulting file in paint revealed the splashscreen. No idea what it would be like on the TF, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was a lot more complicated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whirleyes:
I've read somewhere that the rle file is a raw image file. Try open it via Photoshop or Gimp
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whirleyes:
I'm no expert, but I think the splash image reside in the bootloader(EBT/partition4). EBT in 8.4.4.11 updates is larger than previous version.

Q: Anybody know how to extract the EBT.img file. I've succesfully the extract the blob via blobtools.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Gimp 2.6 doesn't recognize the format, but I would guess that it needs a header. Besides, I already read the file.

The EBT blob in the 8.4.4.11 is 1.5M, which is too small to be a whole bmp, but maybe it just patches the existing boot screen. It is bigger than the previous updates, which are both around 920K.

I thought that partition 4 was encrypted? I think there might be a second key, but nvflash is a new one for me.

I can see, based on the MD5 hash that the EBT partition pulled via nvflash is unchanged between 8.2.3.9 and 8.4.4.5, but it changes in 8.4.4.11. Not sure what the changes are?

The BCT, EBT, LNX, pulled via nvflash, all change between 8.2.3.9/8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11. and are all big enough to hold a boot screen. LNX is unpackable with Android! magic and doesn't have anything interesting. EBT seems to be largely empty space. Would any of these partitions be compressed or compressed by nvflash?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whirleyes:
I'm sure the splash is inside the bootloader(EBT)

8.2.3.9 bootloader.bin is around 920k, while 8.4.4.12 bootloader.bin is around 955k.These files is extracted from the blob.

flashing them via nvflash confirm it. LNX partition has nothing to do with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
It is stored in the bootloader.bin file - blob.EBT
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
So how is it stored? The bootloader files are too small to hold the whole image and I don't see anything that looks like the .rle file.

I'm guessing it's encoded some other way. In theory, if we can figure out how it's stored, we can mod the bootloader and then reload it to change the boot screen. Do you think that will work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I was thinking it must be compressed. I have compared the hex of the two bootloaders from 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11 and tbh I couldn't make much sense of them but by flashing each of these as blobs I was able to switch back and forth between the splash images.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Yup, I did that too, although I had a brick in between :D

The rle file is already compressed and seems to make a lot of sense for a boot time image- it will load faster than reading the raw data and doesn't take much to decompress.

I think the image is in some form of rle format, but it's either cyphered or obscured in some way. Do you know if the bootloader signed or hashed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
The ends of the files are fairly similar- start there and work backwards about 43,000 bytes, give or take.

That area looks about right to me for cyphered rle data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frysee:
Awesome, I was just thinking about this some time ago. Tried to emulate a splashscreen here, but a "legit" mod would be great.

[Vibrant General] Angelito1244:
Malice or Simply Honey 4.0? Which is the Champion?

Who has better battery life?

Which is more stable?

Any input is appreciated
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
none, gtfo and use CM7 get on the bandwagon dude.
[Vibrant General] peecs121:
Simply Honey all the way!
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Its all about personal preference everyone has their own opinions.

While some people would like a stable ROM they go with froyo. If someone wants a ROM with raw speed they go with MIUI or CM7. If you want a mix of them go with a JVQ or JVH ROM.
[Vibrant General] Angelito1244:
I see you're on MIUI

What's your opinion on it?
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
In my opinion its great. I was one of the early adopters of CM7 and MIUI (I remember back in the day when I thought CM7 initial was my daily driver lol).

I would say its on par with CM7, yet some people may have different perspectives of the two. I switch off of CM7 and MIUI A LOT! I was just on CM7 this afternoon.

Customizing MIUI is so much funner than CM7, but it doesn't have the amount of settings as CM7. Honestly MIUI has a way more sleeker look than CM7 and also has a considerable amount of themes. Its also just as fast as CM7. There's also a lot more lock screens such as the five target one and HTC sense 3.0 ring lock screen which I love. People can ***** about not having an app drawer, but there's a perfect app for that.

If your getting tired of CM7, MIUI is a perfect getaway.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
CM7 is pure god.

MIUI is based off CM7 source code (mind you the devs of MIUI never seem to give credit to the CyanogenMod team!?!?!?! SELFISH???)

MIUI has a bunch of more customizing features, but some of the things that get to me beyond belief is how usually half the **** still ends up in chinese.

I wish CM7 had more lockscreens, but I can live without them I guess. I'm still trying to find some though!

Go with CM7, all the JVQ and JVH roms are blah. Gabbage.

If you want a JVQ rom just put your phone back to stock... lol
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
stock eclair and a JVQ rom are far from comparable
[Vibrant General] lorendroll:
I like Malices theme a bit more. But I stayed with Froyo because of lack of compass and undervolting functions with JVQs.
[Vibrant General] lapdog101:
Rockin Malice 4.1.1 after trying CM7, Miui and Simply Honey. Malice is giving me 18 hrs battery, solid gps, Stable as any froyo ever on my vibe. I also posted my smartbench and quadrant scores in my album. None of the above mentioned Roms worked as smoothly as Malice for me. I also must mention I only gave CM7 two days...so maybe not a fair comparison.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Gingerbread vs Froyo... Gingerbread wins

changing to the glitch kernel on cm7 will double your battery life as well.....
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
Double!? so my 17 hours will change into 34 hours???
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
LOLOLOLOLOL

u trollin'
[Vibrant General] helikido:
Cm7 has too many problems and bad battery life... i use the jvp (best gingerbread firmaware) revolution rom ;) its super fast and stable and has good battery life.... :D
[Vibrant General] Angelito1244:
I'm actually on revolution right now. It's nice but there's still a lot of bugs, I was looking forward to Ali's JVQ update but I don't know when that's gonna happen :/

So I guess now it's just between MIUI or Malice

I know MIUI is faster and apparently more customizable but how do they compare in Stability and Battery Life?

Thanks a lot guys this is really helpful
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Lmao battery life is ****!
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Malice is quickly becoming the Thing to flash, it is getting a new update tomorrow.

I was on CM7 but now Malice it is just fits GB-JVQ on to the Vibrant like no other.. amazing.......... check it out.
[Vibrant General] Angelito1244:
I thought Ben Franklin over there said he was getting 17 hours

That's amazing to me

I usually get about 12-14 on Revolution

I might try MIUI just to see what the FUSS is all aboot, then get on Malice if the battery is TOO ****ty

Anybody know if Odin takes care of reverting to the old bootloaders or if I have to do that manually?
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
I really don't miss the app drawer i think the majority of people who complain about the app drawer don't realize that if they hold there screen and access there widgets they can place folders, sort apps and name folders and get everything nice an tidy like a pc's desktop. I love Miui as a daily driver and with a current "almost gps fix" it's almost perfect IMO.
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
you will need to flash the froyo bootloader thru odin PRIOR to installing miui, they should be posted in a thread in the Dev section
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
I haven't touch Malice yet, But as far as stability goes on Miui, My girlfriend and myself have been using it as a daily driver with weekly updates for over 2 months now. Battery life the first 24 hours is garbage so flash on a day off work or when your near a charger, burn that sucker down then charge to full. I almost never get force Closes, the only Real gripe about Miui is it's built off CM7 for our phones (sigh) so you have the mute/unmute bug and the ocassional software buttons freeze up (lock unlock fixes it) Miui now has a gps fix similar to the ginger jvp roms. almost perfect with a few minor quarks.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
CM7 is fixed. GPS works, mute/unmute is no longer needed... I guess you haven't been following for some time. Battery life is doubled with the kernels available.

Download and rename to PD15IMG.zip and place on root of sd card. Then restart your phone while holding the down volume button. Update when in hboot.

I suggest you read the topic throughly in the link I provided. Also, do you have mytouch 4g or the normal htc sense version of the phone? Because one runs mysense while the other runs stock sense.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksulfur5:
Its not a rom, its the official ota that someone zipped for others to use. Download it, place it in the root of the sd card (not in any folders, just the sd card itself). Restart your phone while holding the volume down button. When hboot comes up, it will scan for the file and ask if you want to update. Say yes and let it, do its thing. Make sure your phone is fully charged and whatever you do, don't interrupt it. As for the question I asked, just make sure your phone had a mytouch logo on the front.

This Rom is copied from T-Mobile SD card. So it's 100 % original (Thanks to Gr33nF0x for his great work)

I haven't witnessed problems yet. I advice you to limit the number of games installed for it's smooth function.

When you do your upgrade, you will lose only the data stored in your phone memory.

Your SD card data will be unaffected. So don't worry.
