[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hello5629:
does it work on miui?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] The Undertakerr:
I like it when people try to find fixes for things that don't work very well on my device; please don't misunderstand me.

But I am not so sure about this fix.

I opened the flashable zip and the updater script of the .zip

The xtra.bin file ends up in: system/bin.

But I guess it is suppost to end up in: /system/vendor/bin; All gps related files are there.

The bin folder it ends up now, seems not to be the right one since our Galaxy S has more then one bin folder.

Am I wrong here?

Thanks for the effort of making us a fix though!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eliteforce:
Moldova seems its working better then standard config
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
PFittech mentioned that it works on cm7, so it will work on miui.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RooceeD:
It really works. It took less than 30 seconds to find satellites.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fuzzvirus:
Yes, I am using 1.9.30

I tries both cold and hot rebooting the GPS. It is getting faster fix. Without using WIFI network or cell tower triangulation
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eliteforce:
It works. It took less than 30 seconds to find satellites. but accuracy is very horrible, sometimes up to 10-15 metres

how to fix accuracy????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] t3ej4y:
How do you guys test if it's working? I'm using gps test from the market and it doesn't seem to be able to get a position. On miui 1.9.30 if it makes any difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kyrillos13:
Question~: In this gps fix, the xtra.bin file is inside /system/bin. But in the gps.conf i dont see a link to /system/bin/xtra.bin. I only see a link to /data/xtra.bin.... :P

eg: XTRA_SERVER_5=/system/bin/xtra.bin
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
I know that it's irrelevant for now. Fix it later please dont write me again. I want to find a solution for Galaxy I , galaxy II and ACE . For now finding optimal setting later details. OK.........
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RooceeD:
At firts I tried to find satellites with Samsung GPS Settings and a few minutes later nothing has changed. Then I flashed PFGPS FIX - by PFittech and for less then 30 seconds I saw a difference. GPS connected very quickly. And all this I did at home on the balcony =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cy4n1d3:
Germany: 29 seconds until fix, not bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
Very nice hack ... but ...

I am from Czech and the fix takes me 10 seconds with your hack - very nice result

But the accuracy is very low ... it shows that GPS is fixed +/-20m but about 100m elsewhere :-(

I will try to test more .. .this result is after 1st trial
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Brotuck:
I have had lots of quick fixes, but all inaccurate (20 - 30 meters)

So i have created my own fix based on this one and $omator's version.

Now i get quick fix and accurate readings :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eliteforce:
How to restore standard settings because accuracy is bad and speed shows +/- 10 km things too bad :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kudo77:
Thank you PFittech,

Huge improvement in accuracy, now up to 5m and fix delay around 10s in France.

Looking forward for improvements if possible... like 1meter accuracy? -:)

Donating soon if performance didn't decrease.

Best Regards,

Greg
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
After several more trials I get better results ... fix with Czech settings in max. 10 seconds and the accuracy in average +/-40m (which is not the best I had)

So I can suggest to work on the accuracy.

Thanks for this tweak anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MostafaFCB:
awsome. :o

tnxxxxxx my friend.

my phone got connect to gps on ONLY 8 Seconds :o

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hello5629:
NOT able to use GPS after apply the fix (SINGAPORE)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
When I am static the accuracy is not much good (20 to 50m) but while moving accuracy is great.

I think this is really working great:-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
THX all. still I read feedback and look for optimal solutions. I think the next version could be soon. They must really work for all(galaxy s1,s2 , ace). Of course I am grateful for every donate. I dedicate this much time :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kudo77:
After 10 days of tests, I can confirm the improvement, but I had one day with difficulties to get lock. I think there may be caused by weather ( cloudes ).

Today 11 satellites with 5m accuracy. I wish always fix like that.

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Yes, I saw it too. . . .

OP why is the file size so big?

If it is then I suggest you to upload each country separately. It does not make sense to download 200 mb for a gps fix.

Say buddy,

Feel like sharing your [/B

]GPS fix

? I´d like to try it!

Cheers:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
lol 211MB for a gps fix? whats inside of it? hd videotutorial? :D

just joking, still downloading^^

EDIT: Jesus Christ! Next time better use compression! I will upload this in compressed form....I compressed it to 0,2% the size.........
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
If you don't want to download the 211MB. Here is the same. Just used 7zip, feel free to use in 1# post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] demon2112:
Just flash this with cwm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
@h4m74ro why you custom my tweak? compresion demage my tweak a tested it with compresion its not good. If I upload 200mb I have main reason. To future edit your own file not dev.

File from h4m74ro I dont support use on your risk. OH man.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Evaldino:
PFittech, no Lithuania (Litva)? Or should the Latvian suit? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Falloutboy2000:
in case it dosn´t work or i dont like it, can u provide a revert scrit ?

or how can we delete it , if it´s nesecary.

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] .Slane.:
Compression damage tweak ? Are you just kidding or trying to gain more money with some hotfiles hosting ? So you claim that neither winrar (nice m0 "compression") or 7-zip can handle YOUR files ?! Nice to try to fool people...

PS:

_ 7Zip Ultra LZMA compression 64Mb/64/4GB : 435 Kb

_ WinRar Best in Solid archive mode : 801 Kb

=> md5sum avec pack and unpack : all the same
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
Tomorrow I upolad Backuped original GPS. Install via CWM rewrite PFGPS.

Lithuania and Greece will be added soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
more money with some hotfiles hosting DDD funny I upload it to multiupload(orecommend from pepole on XDA) I dont have account on others server .I dont have any money or credit for this zip. My testers gets error when I use compresion in some kernels under galaxy S2 I dont want risk it uder S1 again. actually what you doing in my threaded if you do not like my work get out.

I can not test the flasher All kernels that are here I have no phone and when someone write me an error we will look for only because they were using compression.

Every day people download video or songs which size is in Gb and we have problem with 200mb. Please leave my thread noob.

trying to do galaxy S1 better and faster doing it for FREE. No donate from someone and you are still dissatisfied it is possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Compressing it WON'T corrupt the files. Compression is just a means to reduce the file size so that it can be easily shared faster. 211 MB to 435 Kb is a drastic change. I have downloaded the 435 Kb file, unzipped it & its perfectly OK. Got it back to 211 MB after expanding it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
OK say it works but this

I take it as an insult. even if it made a multipload money does not give what it would be worthwhile to me. I want an apology. Everything I do I do for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
@PFittech

The compression doesn't hurt. It will be the same files after unpacking and they work the same.

I just tried PFGPS v2.0 and it works great. GPS was good before on CM7, but now it's even better for me :cool:

Thank you for that fix :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
I want you to justify that I am not trust but gave me a lot of work.

Slane me very angry. I expected that people will like, but this is a huge disappointment for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
Slane just made a wrong assumption that you want to make money with a big file. But of course that's not true. You don't get money from that link.

Take it easy ;)

Have you tried 7zip for compressing yet? It is great for packaging your gps tweak. If you have the time you should try it :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] .Slane.:
Some people have already made this here (ROM with 0 compression and hotfile), and some other ask money for their work on a GPLized kernel and close their work (mostly of 80/90% is a rip-off of Semaphore / Voodoo). I was a little harsh but memory doesn't fade, but what is the problem with compression ? ;o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] habylab:
Sounds like it might not work to me, but I haven't tried it so I don't know. The Galaxy has a fundamental design flaw, hence the bad GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
There's no problem with compression, I love compression^^ Just wanted to calm PFittech a bit.

Have you done one of those hardware gps fixes? Like pinning a piece of paper on the gps antenna to provide pressure. After more than a year with my Galaxy S, I know my device has software as well as hardware gps flaws in untouched condition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kudo77:
I understand your disappointment after so wrong comments, but please don't say nobody donated. Now I can be angry :mad:

Thank you for a new version, testing it soon...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
sorry man I get 2 donation but not write me its donate for PFGPS I thing its donate to my RARITY ROM . There are different project.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
I think you might have tried minification and not file compression. Minification can break scripts, but file compression always gives 1:1 output.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
I have no time to try other versions for Czech than A, but first lock is for me in 10 seconds with accuracy 3-20m (depends where I am). And against version 1 I got a lock exactly where I am (on v1 it was 20-100m far away from my real position).

keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h20pt:
Just one question to all the users that have tried the v2.0 fix: did you use the 200mb or the 500kb version?

Thanks :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
download the bigger pack ... extract ... and you will see ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h20pt:
Already did :)

Just one more thing: I'm having really nice results so far with it, but only with 3G enabled.. If i turn off 3G, it takes a long time to get a fix like before.. My question is: Does everyone tested with 3G on or off?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to be sure i'm not doing anything wrong :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
SGS GPS in current developement state (even with this fix) is incapable of obtaining "- Accuracy 3-7 meters" as stated in opening post...

the best stepping we can get on SGS! is 5-10-15-20-25-30-35-blabla with nexusS files or 5-10-15-30-blabla with stock I9000 files

also fixes times listed in OP are nothing special for SGS GPS as long as there are actualy satelites visible and data connection active to download latest agps/lto data (so as long you take fix at open space and got latest satelite data)

the gps.conf file is a mess of configuration files from a lot of devices (that are using other gps chipsets, deamons, or fix methods) therefore 90% of it is useless or dubleing itself

at the end xtra.bin file that is attached as a major part of that fix will be outdated after some time == this data will have to be redawnloaded so you would need an active data connection or your fix will take longer and/or will be inacurate

Somator, what do thing about GPS AIDS FIX?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mancukya:
Thank you for your work. run perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
GPSAIDS is a tool that gather all the phone functions related to gps in one place and lets you manualy download xtra and lta data - nothing special, all gps tools can do that ...

and the fix function is reserved fot teh paid version - so let me do not comment on that ...

deal with the fact that SGS1 GPS is just crap - but the problem persist with all devices using same GPS chip (so NexusS & Apple ones for example as well)

read more here -> LINK

and please do not try to convince me that someone knows how to fix it better then Google employee in files used in Nexus S ...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seghier:
and algeria ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
@seghier

I think the correct country package is not important. There are plenty of settings and servers that are the same for all packages. Only one server differs. Use any package if your country isn't there.

EDIT:

I just noticed all the specific country servers are wrong. So it doesn't matter which package anyone chooses.

@PFittech

The server names all have a "north-" too much. Seems you changed north-america.pool.ntp.org to north-de, north-fr, north-jp etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
Yes some config value can be batter set but for now its good and I dont have more time. Now I working on my Rom and others project. When I got free time make version 3.0 with some change. For now very good feedback on S1,S2 and ACE and all thanks for support.

Thanx for hungary gps fix with igo I have signal in 9 sec with ndrive in 3 sec. Does amybody use ndrive? I have only small resolution not 800x480. Igo is slower than ndrive but I'd prefer ndrive if it would have 800x480 res. Or how could I make igo faster?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
jvt unrooted/unmoded -> fix on 10+ sats at 5-10 accuracy in max 10 seconds

mate, again i have to ask you as you did not respond to my pm question
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] O-T:
The facts pointed out by h4m74ro and $omator is shown in /etc/gps.conf.

gps.conf is overloading settings by repeating values for the same parameter:

NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=1.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=2.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=3.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.north-fi.pool.ntp.org

Will this not lead to the value for NTP_SERVER will be the last set?

Try to ping 0.north-fi.pool.ntp.org and you will get non-existing-adress.

As $omator pointed out the lines:

AGPS=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

AGPS=/data/xtra.bin

will lead to locking to an outdated xtra.bin

And just for curiosity try to ping the server set in Version_A.zip packages for SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com

I tried this "fix" but ended up having to revert my /etc/gps.conf to stock using one ping-able NTP_SERVER and reloaded lto2.dat
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
@$omator In short I dont have time. You write somewhere you have own fix so use your fix if you dont like my fix . Second very important is NTP for agps when you choose good NTP get good time. next important is ser. host there are the best SE and Google. NExt values for accuracy when set higt values got fast fix but very bad accuracy and opossite. There is too mutch details and its not possible do fix whitch will be good for all counry and absolut impossible for all phone. there is reason why too mutch version. Stop asking its working good latter prepare version 3 when I will have time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
you missed interpretation of like half of commands mate

in my opinion you do not have idea what are those ones doing,

if they are realy working on gps files used in SGS1

(because some are not ment for SGS1 and will not work...)

only partialy usefull option is lowering minimal accuracy to make a fix from 50 to couple hundret meters - if you can call it usefull because it will fix on some crazy 300m or more accuracy and stay that until get better data - so infact better fix takes the same time it is just displayed earlier - not helping overall performance

i am sorry but i will have to report this thread

wanted to have some anserws from you but seems you are not absolutley sure what are you doing

thread will most probably stay because those files wont brick your phone but at least i will allert moderator about your person
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
I dont have here nonething what can demage any device... report what you want bey I have good feedback its MAIN.

Edit: Added extended support for Lithuania good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ruk_design:
Hi mate thanks for your hard work.. really nice ... well is it possible to have Pakistan.. in your list..?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
Added extended support for Pakistan good luck .)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
Your different versions for every country are worth nothing. You can provide one single version that's equally good.

Just stating the facts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
No So far it is impossible for my tweak. Try it in 3.0 on chritmas .)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] O-T:
PFittech :

1. Please explain why you are overloading values for NTP_SERVER?

2. Why use servers not responding to ping?

This should be easy to answer regardless of your available time.

You are welcome to explain your "fix" in this thread.

Hurry, before moderator come out of his cave!

$omator: + 1, and welcome back.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
I will be post everything what I know about. Conf my notes and find informations what ... everything I have.

However, these remarks will not share a publicly. Nation of user are unable to use as handles. And if you want to work some ENGINEER let me write the post. Of course, if he develops must have some ideas for improvement.

For this project I worked many days and some users are still dissatisfied.

If the administrator has any doubt about my development let me write a PM. I like him for more information.

I'm not willing to cooperate with Somator reason is clear.

This is my last contribution to your questions about the development of the other will not respond. If you have admin question write me PM.

No more reaction. All you need is online on G and Cisco site. Be found as I also was looking for
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
as i asked in pm for the info two times and you ignored that i asked in public

basicly i reported thread to get moderators attention - what would they do i do not know - not my interest

your enginering is copy from threads/forums/other devices but not quite good. why?

- errors in ntp adresses as someone said (fasterfix can do that btw)

- usless multiply ntp callings

- c2k pde setting? prob. not used in sgs1&2 gps files - position determination entry btw... - useless setting

- using sony supl adress would req proper cert and settings in gps xml's (wo it probably is not connecting at all)

- playing with minimal accuracy to fix setting (not helping gps performance - faaster fix but it is very inacurate) - that is the main tweak the difference betwen files

- putting a hardlink to xtra.bin in /data/ location (phone is still using xtra and lto downloaded to inject...)

anyways thats all from me, take care.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PFittech:
let the user select which let you tweak wants is their choice.

$omator claimed that it does not error but it still improves it, etc. I want to end this senseless argument and I think sometimes it would be wiser to create a joint working together. For now you dev your Rom with your tweak and i will dev my rom with PFGPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] $omator:
same absurd as you files ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] h4m74ro:
That doesn't change the fact that your settings are broken. You even thought lossless compression alters files, and are stubborn when it comes to criticism.

I'm done with your work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
This is very bad dev. work, I'm sorry to say. You can't just mash together settings from everywhere, put an old XTRA data (which is supposed to be downloaded when you connect, not remain unchanged somewhere on your phone), and increase the minimal accuracy so that it appears to lock faster but with potentially crap accuracy. You have a gps.conf file with bogus NTP servers, that lead nowhere.

If this works for anyone, it's just a fluke, pure luck, that will stop working in the long run when the XTRA data is no longer valid.

$omator and O-T absolutely right. And your inability to accept constructive criticism is the worst thing about this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] O-T:
I hope moderator's swiftly take action in matter of this thread.

Who knows, they also might be interested in what's going on regarding Rarity ROM??
