I wanted to post a few things to the user community.

1. If you're a DEV and are using this in your ROM, please private message me your ROM thread and which version of this patch you're using. This will be useful with tracking, letting you know of updates for your ROM, and supporting users. If you know of this being used in a ROM, and you're not a DEV, you can report it to!

2. Version 3.1 is a great success. Today alone, the xtra.bin has been served 61,441 times to aGPS Patch users. The 3.1 files have been downloaded almost 10,000 times today as well.

3. Updates will continue to occur server-side for v3.1 and beyond. This means that barring any unforeseen issues, v3.1 will stick for some time without a predecessor. As you may have noticed, your xtra.bin and your NTP pool are through me! This means I can keep providing incoming data for you without needing to update the patch to achieve the same changes. Feel free to toss a penny in the pot.

4. Rate the thread! Some threads have been rated nicely. Others have been attacked with +1 ratings by users who failed to read instructions and/or seek help fixing their issues. This gives a bad impression to new users on XDA. I shouldn't be held accountable for hardware, ROM, or other software related issues out of the control of this patch.

5. Let everyone know of your success. If you're using this patch, let people know what ROM, RIL, Radio, and case you're utilizing. This will help greatly in supporting users who want to know what to use this patch with for best results. I only own one device I officially support, so it's hard helping those seeking assistance with those pieces of advice!

Thanks again for being supportive of this project. I'm glad that I could assist many of you with the same GPS issues I was facing. I literally decided not to buy a new GPS for my car after fixing this issue when my first version was release. :)
[HTC Incredible S] Abdullah Dot:
my gps worked correctly for the first time after trying the maps in this rom Vivo_Android2.3.5-Sense3.5VBliss_Pure with 3.1 patch .....

i don't know why it doesn't work in any other roms even after applying this patch 3.1 neither previous one 3.0 ...

im thankful to you Crypted
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
First, I want to with everyone a very happy holiday season. I will be sporadic with my responses to any questions or comments here on the aGPS Patch threads for the next three to four weeks.

Things to think about if you're having an issue:

Read all of the Notes Section commentary. I wrote that because so many people continually have the same or similar issue that can be easily resolved.

Remember that any GPS tools from Android Market CAN and usually DO overwrite this patch. Therefore, don't use any. The only thing I recommend if you're wanting to get stats is GPS Status, as referenced hundreds of times by yours truly.

If your getting a weak signal: remove the phone from a case and try again. Try a different ROM as CM users and ROMs derived from CM tend to show problems because of faulty ROM compilation, not this patch. Ensure your build.prop has the right variables. Go outside, try again. Lastly, delete the SUPL server section from the bottom of the gps.conf and try without that. Some models with some ROMs have issues with SUPL...outside of my control.

Post and wait for someone to respond. I'll do my best to get on the forum off and on over the holidays.

So, let me give you a general update directed to those 3.x trunk users:

My server has automatically generated an xtra.bin file for your GPS excitement 3,980 times since September 26th when the first beta went online to test it out. :eek:

My server attempts to build a new version every 30 minutes. Depending on what it can decypher from other xtra.bin sources, it provides a totally fresh xtra.bin approximately every 1.2 hours.

My server has served up over 500,000 xtra.bin files to users like you on XDA since v3.1 was released.

My server continues to provide a reliable NTP pool to v3.x users by directing your phones to a handful of RELIABLE and FAST-RESPONDING NTP servers around the world. This ensures you can travel and not have to switch NTP pools.

If you're a DEV and this is used in your ROM, please notify me via private message with a link to your ROM thread. This helps me track issues and keep you up-to-date with any new versions. We both win there!

Finally, if you use v3.x you should remember this isn't free to me. As all of the information above notes "My server...", I foot the bill to keep supplying this data. It's useful as hell to you and to me. :D

Consider donating a little to help offset server costs

AND

to help expand provisioning should enough donations come in. You can donate via Paypal by clicking the donate button next to my username on this or any of my posts. Every little bit helps. If you can't, I understand that as well. :o

Again, thanks everyone. Don't forget to click the Thanks button on my posts should you enjoy what I've got to say...like those amazing numbers cited above for 3.x users.
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
All threads have had an overhaul that was way overdue.

High points:

Note discussion of what the patch does and what it replaces.

Note confirming ICS support from various users.

Note section has gotten long, but covers most questions I am repeatedly asked.

A total of 9 officially supported new devices.

Download section reminds people to backup their settings. You only need to backup /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have one. But, I never had to revert!

As always, please don't forget to click Thanks if you use or like this patch -AND- don't forget to Rate the thread.

Donations

are always welcome.

EDIT: FYI: Method 1, the easiest of the methods for those unfamiliar with file managers or recovery, has been updated. Some people required that the script also mount the partition. I have added that line to all options available and updated the ZIP file. Thanks

enigmaamit

for confirming that the new PUSH script works.

right now im using virtuous quattro rc3 and i had big proplems getting gps-signal. even after a few minutes.

than i flashed latest patch (gps.conf) via es explorer. tried gps again and got a lockon after about 3 seconds!
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
Good to hear!
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
Just a friendly notice that the thread has been updated.

There is a new build which I recommend. Before questioning or inquiring why I removed the use of SSL, review the NOTE on the matter. This has proven to be a faster operation by tests in various regions and numerous devices. ;)

Lastly, I added a section for asking questions. Review that before communicating here. It gets really old seeing that people refuse to read what I've worked hard to write especially when it usually answers the questions asked.

Don't forget to consider donating if you appreciate the work and find it useful. :D
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
Using the patch, my GPS locks very quickly, but after a while it shows me as being somewhere completely different than where I am. It was some town in Winnipeg (I live near Toronto), and now it keeps locking to somewhere a couple of kilometers from where I live.

I've tried reinstalling the file with no luck.

My phone doesn't have a case, I don't have any apps that would interfere with the script, and my system info is in my signature.

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
Your aGPS isn't functioning at all. Your different location readings are either errors from a tower-supplied coordinate or a misappropriated IP address linking you to the far away city. These two issues are other ways of finding your location, but cannot do any good if the main ingredient doesn't work.

I'm assuming that the ICS ROM you are using is an Alpha build for this device like most of them out there for older devices. Probably your issue...
[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
Thread kind of updated to include a new device:

Asus Transformer Prime

This patch can be useful on devices that need the GPS XML file which is prevalent in non-Qualcomm chipsets. So, it can be used in other devices as well.

The new release has no effect on other supported devices unless it is a non-Qualcomm phone.

I found your GPS.conf file less elaborate as compared to the one that can be created by this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

Could you explain why? I'm still using 1.3 worldwide and found that using the conf file created with this thread gives faster, more accurate locks.

We could, but that means my effort in writing about that difference was pointless. It's in the frigging Notes Section and has been forever.

Right thanks. I want to try to flash the no-ssl patch via 4ext touch recovery. Will report soon.

[HTC Incredible S] crypted:
Today, AGPS Patch has reached a total number of 28 officially supported devices.

Support was added for the Asus Transformer TF101, Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, Samsung's Galaxy S I9000, and HTC's One X.

I predicted that companies would get wiser and start providing properly built stock ROM's for GPS usage. That was incorrect. I'm willing to research and work with people to bring more devices into the fold.

There have been millions of downloads of my personal xtra.bin data and tens of millions of queries submitted through the DNS pool I maintain for Stratum II time servers. I lost track of the number of ROM's that have incorporated this patch. In fact, v3.x began 11 months ago and has brought worldwide help to the masses.

And remember, I don't have to release new versions of this patch locally because it has been so fine-tuned. But, I'm always working on the xtra.bin data almanac and the Stratum II time servers to keep this thing going strong.

To the few that have donated to support the many, thank you very much.

If anyone would like to continue to support this project

for growth in more devices and continual data provisioning, please consider donating as well.

TopNTP - the app.

We need bèta testers. Hopefully we can get some useful feedback to optimize this app. The patch itself has been proven to work, we just need to know for as much as possible devices if we can a) really install the patch and b) if the app is sort of clear in its use.

Get it on Google Play!

HI Q&A FORUM! it's me (AGAIN)!

Tried to Flash CWM5 With Fastboot and worked;

Flashed Miui, then revert to Stock 2.3.4 and worked;

After a couple of days, want to install custom kernel, enter fastboot then recovery, appears a little android on center with a BIG Triangle of warning, the phone won't show CWM recovery menu. So open back cover and pull-off battery then re-insert it, but no way to enter CWM!

Tried also ROM Manager but it fails!

Help guys!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
When you reverted to stock it will revert to stock recovery with every reboot unless you remove the file that causes it to. You need to flash clockwork through fastboot then use root explorer tto remove/rename that file.

This is my first attempt at a theme. This was done for my own use and was never intended for sharing. But, I've noticed a few people have asked for less purple. In fact, about the only color you'll find is Blue.;)

The only known issues thus far is the status bar force closes once right after boot. let things settle, media scanning and what not, and everything will be fine.

Hey talleywhacker - I see what was meant by Contacts in the dialer - you got the little strip of blue on bottom to match - hahahaha - Great job. The force close thing on the status bar.... where you working from an i9000 file? I don't think I've seen that happen before. Looks great - I can tell you did a lot of work.

Im glad you like it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] talleywhacker:
I think the biggest reason for the status bar is the how big the systemui became when i added the animation to the pulldown. I dont think its the status bar force closing so much as its just taking a minute for media scanning to catch up. Im working something totally different and if i add an animation to the pulldown i will have to decrease it a bit. Thanks for the compliments. Between the two us and what ruger has has put out there shouldnt be anymore complaints of "too much purple" :D

[Captivate Themes and Apps] talleywhacker:
I can probably do that. And as far as the lockscreen i still haven't figured out what I did to have that happen. I've been working on trying to figure that out in between theming specific apk's. I'm still new to this a bit so I'm still learning. But ill get it.

I updated to Fusion VI and put on your Blue Theme immediately! Tried to add someone to contacts and everything froze up. Possible conflict with the Fusion update? I'll try it one more time and let you know.

Don't believe it is your theme. Reflashed the update and contacts not working right without reloading the Blue Fusion theme.

Blue Fusion is not the issue, it's the Contact APK they switched to. When I replaced with stock contact apk all is well.

Looking forward to Green Fusion!!
