The gps icon should appear in the notification area with the .19 radio even without updating the rils and gps driver. The problem many of us had was that it it would lose signal after 5 minutes or so. Did you notice if it was there after flashing the new radio (before you applied the matching rils)?

Nothing more I can tell you to try. I'll be checking here nightly to see if any others report it's not working. Up until now if you read back through the thread many have had good results.

You might want to give tsubus CM7 ILWT a try. It's built from the latest CM commits and in my opinion it's the best CM7 rom. It has these matching drivers built right into the rom too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] goister:
Unfortunately I didn't check if the GPS icon was showing right after applying the radio. I just rebooted to recovery and completed the entire upgrade. I might give that a shot when I've some time.

In any case, I read up on the EFS wipe, and it seems that it wipes the mmcblk0p13 and mmcblk0p14 partitions, which are apparently the EFS partitions. This seems weird to me, because when I do a df on my Desire Z, I don't see these partitions, only mmcblk0p25-28. Are these partitions supposed to show up on a df or are the somehow hidden?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
I believe they're hidden......just don't wipe any of the others!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steinarlundemo:
Works great for me. Great stuff!
[G2 and Desire Z General] denzelnuke:
I've had the same problem as goister. No GPS and no GPS indication in the notification bar. I even tried again and watched the notification bar when I turned on the GPS - no icon even for a second. Seems like the first time I did it, it came up for a few seconds, but I really wasn't paying any attention. That's why I did it the second time.

So, going back to the original radio I had. But where are the RIL files for the other radios? The other thread directs you to this thread, but all I see is the RIL for the 19 radio.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Do you use any other GPS patch? How about GPS Status & Toolbox, do you have that app installed on your system?

As for the rils for the other radios, there is a radio/ril matcher that was used for Sense based roms, but matching rils for other radios with CM7 based roms didn't work out well. The only radio/ril matching for CM7 that gave positive results was for the latest radio from T-Mobile, the 26.13.04.19. The best thing to do is to reflash the rom you are currently using right on top of your current installation (gapps too if you use them), wipe cache and dalvick. This won't touch any of your apps or app data, it will just replace the .19 rils with the rils that came with your rom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] denzelnuke:
>>Do you use any other GPS patch? How about GPS Status & Toolbox, do you have that app installed on your system?

Nope. No other GPS patches or tools, just the CM7. Fortunately I made a backup before I tried the new radio, so all I had to do was a recovery.

I just wanted to add in that I had the similar problem in applying the radio update. Nobody likes to be alone in a problem, even if you don't know the solution.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BananaFusion:
For some reason now my phone only says I have a 3G connection instead of the H connection like before I updated the radio. But download speeds are 4G like. Think this might be a bug...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ruabell:
just wanted to chime in.... wow this .19 update is awesome. I put it off time after time but after reading this listing about better battery life and speeds I took the plunge.

im getting 3g and 4g in places that were edge in the past!

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fuzzo83:
Are these radio-lib and .so only for CM7? Not for other roms?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Some have had success with MIUI roms. What rom are you running?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fuzzo83:
I'm running Virtuous Sense 2.0.0.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
No, not going to work with Sense roms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] briantech:
I use this radio rils and cm7 stable yet I constantly get error saying location does not exist. however when I use maps and hit location, the gps works.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Did you wipe the efs partitions? If yes, then try wiping the app data of the applications that are giving you issues. Settings>apps>all and first force close the app, then clear data. If you have GPS Status installed, definitely do it for that app and don't start it up until after you get this issue resolved.
[G2 and Desire Z General] revwillie:
I just found the update to this thread today (May 20th). I was on the .19 radio but unaware of the the second file referred to in the OP.

I flashed 7.2 stable. Anybody have this radio update running on 7.2 stable? What kind of performance and battery life are you getting?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] revwillie:
Day one report: CM 7.2 stable with the new radio and ril files looks good!

I'm still having battery issues, but today I took a 6 mile run with Runkeeper tracking via GPS and music playing into my BT headphones. When I was done, I had twice as much battery left as I would have expected and the phone was not hot to the touch.

it took no time at all to get the GPS fix which is nice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ashwinmudigonda:
Dropping SMSes and losing signal

I have been on this radio for a few days now and I have noticed 2 issues. Both concern me. One is that I have been dropping SMSes. And two, I see the signal degrade all the way to zero and sometimes stay that way or it'll pop back to full strength. The two issues might be connected. I am running the Andromadus Mimicry ROM. Can anyone shed a light onto this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
You shouldn't be flashing this on an ICS rom. This is for CM7. You need to go to the CM9/Andromadus lib-ril thread and download that updater and flash through recovery and wipe the efs partitions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ashwinmudigonda:
I am sorry. Wrong thread. I meant to post it on the ICS one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jason_eh:
This mod improved my signal by an average of 10dbm! Right now I'm sitting around -99 with my antenna covered, and before the mod I would be cursing and holding the phone up to the sky by now.

I even received a text message in the basement, whereas before my signal would drop just going down the stairs! Even my 3g speeds have improved. Pages that wouldn't load due to bad signal now only take 5-10 seconds :)

I'm using the latest elitemod cm7, and the latest radio on wind mobile in canada.

Thank you for this updater, it is the only ril/radio matching utility that has ever made a difference for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 6stringbass:
I'm planning on sprucing up my G2 with CM7.2 stable. Should I install the new ROM first and them flash the radio or do it the other way around? I'm looking for the best performance for my Android buck here!

Steve
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
It's probably best to flash the ROM, then the radio, and then replace the ril files. Just don't forget to wipe EFS data when flashing the radio and replacing the lib-ril and gps .so files.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 6stringbass:
Thanks. Not new to modding but it's been a while since I last did anything to my G2 and this will be the first update to the radio. Just want to make my phone happy....well maybe me too.

Steve
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
No problem. :) And if you have any inclination to try out an ICS ROM you should check out blk_jack's Andromadus Mimicry (link in my signature). I'm seeing awesome improvements in battery and signal strength using radio .19 with EdKeys patch for CM9/AOKP ROMs (also linked in my sig). The ROM itself is so smooth. I was hesitant to make the jump as I thought GB might be as good as it gets for our device, but now I'm wishing I did it sooner.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amogil:
Yup ... I agree totally ..... ever since this rom ,phone has been sweet.. wish keyboard would have a different skin .... not to worried of the no 720 in camera....

smooth g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Followed the steps in the OP and my GPS won't even turn on (no GPS icon). If I replace the GPS.so with the stock one from CM7 it works again. Any ideas?

Flashed the new radio in OP.

Flashed the radio libs/gsp.so updater

Wiped dalvik cache and cache

Wiped efs data with the file in OP

Rebooted twice and went into Maps and GPS Fix and no GPS icon flashing (wont start)

Note GPS worked before I did this and after I replaced the GPS.so file with the stock one from CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Uninstall the GPS Fix first, then go into Settings/Apps/Maps and first force close, then clear data. Then reflash the updater, wipe caches and efs partitions and after boot, open Maps first. After you get a lock with Maps, you can re-install GPS Fix.

Post back the results.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Nothing, no GPS icon kicks on in Maps or anything that uses GPS. So GPS is not working. Even tried toggling it on and off in settings, same result.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdadidida:
Want to emphasize this. Once you have the RIL/gps installed you need to FC and clear cache of the map app before GPS will work.

I couldn't get it to work w/just the radio, but the updated RIL/gps got me it back. And again, make sure to FC/clear cache on any apps using GPS location or it won't be able to get a lock. And one last thing, it'll take some time for it to start getting GPS the first time after you flashed so don't freak out, and go outside somewhere with a better signal if it's not picking up so you get the towers/sat's on file. Then it usually works better.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Make sure you efs wiped BOTH after installing radio and installing the ril/gps update (in addition to the davik/cache clearing). FC and clear cache on any gps apps you use. And as others have stated, it'll take some time after you've wiped that data for it to start aggregating it again since you wiped out the stuff it had on file. Go outside if you're impatient and that should help those initial locks catch on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
I'd say you've got a rogue gps app that's still hanging on to the old data and locking you up. Install 'Turbo GPS' from the market (free), open that up and go to menu/settings/views/nmea strings and see if you are getting any packet data.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Yup I did wipe efs data and caches after installing the radio and after installing the ril/gps update. BTW with just the updated radio, the GPS was working fine. Whats worrying is it doesn't kick on (no icon) with the ril/gps update. Ive tried FC and wiping data on maps (previous post), didnt work.

The only thing that works is swapping out the gps.so from the ril/gps update with the one from stock CM7. No clue why.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Blank screen, no nmea strings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
If you've got any remnants of GPS Status on your system, then that might be it. Keep in mind that the term "GPS Fix" doesn't mean "GPS repair". Fix refers to locking onto the satellites and apps like that download data to your cache which replicates the data from the Satellites to give you a faster "fix". That's the data that is giving you a problem, IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdadidida:
not to beat a horse, but if you're doing this inside - try going outside. it took some time for me before it started getting gps data again. going outside w/o building obstructions would probably make it happen quicker.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
What do you recommend I do? Wipe the device, reinstall ROM, and reinstall all apps without data?

Im literally sitting like 2 feet from a window, never had a problem locking from here. The problem is not getting a fix, its getting GPS to even start at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
This is only the gps.so file. Flash this through recovery. See if that works.

http://www.mediafire.com/?owsnm5o2g10754s

Also, if you have Titanium Backup paid, there is a useful tool called "clear cache for user and system apps". You can try that to see if that clears out the data.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Nope neither of those worked. Im just gonna wipe the device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] raydar670:
Just to double check i have to rename the .19 zip to PC10IMG.zip and flash them through the bootloader to update the radio and rcdata images? I just want to make sure because back on my G1 I just used to flash radio images from recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
you can flash the radio from recovery, fastboot or hboot

fastboot and hboot are the safest ways
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hyflex:
Am I right in thinking this is USA/Canada only?
[G2 and Desire Z General] turboyo:
How do I flash the rc data through fastboot? My volume button is broken can't do the pc10 thing. I already have the newest radio so just need the rcdate thing and possibly the .txt? Do I just rename rc data to radio.img and fastboot push?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
so you can boot into fastboot but not hboot?

fyi, most roms will have an option, reboot > bootloader

this is the same as holding volume down while powering on

same with adb

reboot bootloader
[G2 and Desire Z General] turboyo:
I need to fastboot push it. my volume up doesn't work to confirm the pcm10 update throught the phone. I just need the commands to fastboot push the zip file or the rc data file to the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
Power off and hold the volume bar down when you power on to get to bootloader, or select reboot to bootloader if it's available in your current rom's power down menu.
[G2 and Desire Z General] turboyo:
Haha I know how to get to bootloader guys but if you remember flashing u have to hit volume up to confirm install .. I can't do that so I have to fastboot push through fastboot USB. I know how to flash radios this way but no idea how to go about flashing your zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] turboyo:
anyone needing to fastboot flash just rename the zip to pc10img and run fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] spjuggalojoe:
It might be a good idea to run EFS wipe first, Actually the best time to flash it would be during a ROM update, and Superwipe includes EFS wipe :good:

Just installed it on 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 and installed/runs without a hitch. Biggest game I had before that was MX Mayhem at 24MB

If you can not install it anyway you can copy the .apk to /system/app before flashing the rom so you skip the installation procedure.

Or.. on your current rom copy the apk to /data/app, set perms to rw r r and reboot...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newestuser:
thanks! it works! :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattphoner:
Hi everyone, took a friends Nook Color after showing him mine with MIUI on it (1.9.16). Told him I could get his 1.2 or 1.3 refurbished Nook to MIUI or CM7, and after using a SD Card CWR to install either (with wiping all data/cache/system/etc.), I can get the install to perform fine in CWR. However, upon booting, I get loops at any and all splash screens, MIUI stays on orbiting planet, CM7 stays on Nook Color rainbow screen, none can actually get into the OS. I've tried to replace partition with boot zip around here, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Also, when trying to restore 1.2 or 1.3, the keyboard will flash onscreen when trying to type info to register, then immediately hide; I'm unable to input text before it disappears again! :mad: Thanks for your help.

Turns out, because the keyboard was wonky, I couldn't ever get past the registering in 1.2 or 1.3, which for some reason, kept me in a boot loop after installing a different ROM. I guess, you either need to register, or bypass the Oout of Box Experience, in order to keep out of this boot loop. All fixed now!

Afternoon folks.

Been using Insertcoin for a while and just switched to "Runnymede 5.0" as I'd seen someone comment that the Sense 3.0 camera supported panoramic shots, something I've really found myself missing. It seems the camera was switched back further along development so there's still no panorama mode in the standard HTC app. I've looked around for a decent alternative (tried the usual options like Photaf and so forth) to cover this and as yet had no luck finding anything really worth using, I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions as to decent software.

As I stated in the OP, I've used Photaf extensively and found it to be particularly useless when it comes to handling changes in light level across the shots - this really doesn't work well when trying to put a decent landscape shot together. It's annoying as once you've ditched the oh so easily scratched plastic lens cover on the Desire the camera is actually pretty good.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Obg1:
Hi tarmacsurfer,

I'm Oren, the developer of Photaf panorama,

the light changes is mainly due to the fact the Android API doesn't provide a way to lock the exposure, on ICS it should be solved.

I will also work on improving the algorithm to perform better color correction.

I really want to go to an ATT store and pick up a off contract Samsung Focus S... of course i'm not going to use ATT (ugh.. in NYC they are so bad.. and, we all know they have crazy $$ limited data plans).

Do we assume unlock code ppl will be able to take care of it or should i wait a bit?

I'm going with T-mobile edge (ugh) and i always carry around a clearwire hotspot (it zooms in manhattan and brooklyn.. always get 10mb+) for the data.

If there is no unlock now for it.. this thread will be useful when there is :)
