[Hero CDMA General] Drunkpilot:
They actually did this before and switched us back because of the uproar. I doubt we will see the enthusiasm of the days of yore. Too many people have left us with the outpouring of 4g choices and enough built in memory to not have to use a tweak such as Firerat's.

It doesn't matter where we are located, it' still good of a device for devs not to take up the challenge to get something impossible running on it. Remember "they" said we didn't have the hardware to run froyo. I guess the reality is that they didn't have the balls.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akizakian:
Hi everybody! I don't want to annoy anybody but I just wanted to ask if there is still any kind of development ongoing towards unbricking hard bricks. Devs, if you have time, may be you could write something about the progress if any? Any luck with SBK? Any other possibilities? I would very much appreciate it.

If I can somehow contribute to development, I would be happy to do that.

Thanks and best regards!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lythandra:
Im currently using CM 7.0.3 and the GPS is pretty much useless. Does it work well in 7.1 or in any of the nightlys? Also I see that the nightlys stopped in the download page, just end of life for the N1?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I'm on CM7 nightly, my GPS is always good.

Do you use GPS Status and Toolbox? It's a good app that download GPS data

to help for faster lock.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
+1. What BBF said ^. Using 7.1 myself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrill:
After reading your title i started to think about when was the last time i had a phone that got a GPS lock in under a minute with no extra apps. The last time i can remember is when i had a my Mytouch 3g about 2 years ago. I had great GPS locks on CM when i had that phone but since (G2, G2X, nexus one) have all has horrible locks unless i download the GPS toolbox and even then it isn't very fast.

Has there been something in the last two years that would cause cell phones to lock GPS signal at a slower pace?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
may be your area, but almost always and now on Nightly 253--almost instant locks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I haven't had any issues with my phone getting quick locks. And that is throughout my whole time with CM7 (and I never use GPS Status to refresh my agps data). When you upgrade to 7.1, I would highly recommend wiping the device completely including MANUALLY wiping the /system partition through recovery. Then install 7.1 and gapps.

You can back up apps and app data, but don't back up any system settings as restoring those could bring your gps problems back.

Oh, and the reason for no nightlies is the build machine for CM is having hardware problems (and there are no nightlies for any device, not just the N1). There is still life left with our N1 :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lythandra:
I'll probably upgrade the ROM this weekend. My GPS was great pre-CM 7.0.3 where I was using CM 6.xxx which is why I was asking.

Thanks for the answers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurrubio:
I use CM 7 and it works well, it's really true that you can get a better signal with other mods?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeesix:
I downgraded to Enomther's last froyo mod a few weeks ago because I have no luck getting similar performance with any gingerbread mod. I've tried CM7,7.1,as well as a lot of the nightlies, Oxygen Mod, and stock gingerbread. The GPS performance just isn't anywhere near as good as on froyo, which is quite frustrating since I depend on it a lot. I've tried the GPS status app which helps occasionally, but it becomes a hassle if you constantly need to use it. :/

Still searching for a good gingerbread mod though.

The reason is because CM 6 was based on froyo and CM 7 is based on gingerbread. Same reason my Enomther's mod works so well. There is a huge post on google's message board regarding the GPS problem in gingerbread, and they have claimed that a fix was released, but it never fully solved the problem :( I think it's fairly clear that the issue is with gingerbread and that any mod based on gingerbread will have this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I haven't had any issues with GPS on my phone, and I have been running CM7 since the alphas started back in December (or maybe January). I have always had quick locks, and I haven't had it lose it signal while using it (and I use it frequently for both short and long distances). I use the 5.08 radio (but I have used the 5.12 as well, and had no issues with GPS while on it).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeesix:
Very odd. So you'd say it performs equal to froyo?

I'm inclined to believe that it's not hardware related since, as i mentioned, on froyo it's near perfect -- close to instant lock, definitely within 10 seconds, and it never loses it.

I'm going to try another gingerbread mod soon because I miss some of the GB features. I'm also on 5.08. hmm
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I would say it performs better than froyo, but it is probably just because my phone tends to run cooler, so I don't have freezing issues.

Make sure when you install the Gingerbread ROM that you MANUALLY wipe the /system partition from within recovery and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. You can back up your apps and app data with a program like Titanium Backup, but stay away from restoring settings as restoring those could restore any incompatibilities between Froyo and Gingerbread. CyanogenMod recommends doing a full wipe when upgrading between Froyo and Gingerbread based ROMs (well, at least for their own).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serverxeon:
My cm 7.1 works well
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimitake:
Thanks. Works like a charm. Locking gps used to take at a least 10+ minutes, it now lock in less than 10 seconds. BTW using kang-o-rama 1.3 s2e version, which is based on CM 7.1.

P.S. was previously on same Rom before. I just did a full wipe without restoring any system data.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeesix:
Very odd. Tried a CM 7.1 based rom today, and the same GPS issue persists. I cleared the /system partition and everything else, but the GPS would not lock for one, and if it got a lock after minutes, it wouldn't stay locked. After restoring a backup to froyo, the GPS worked perfectly again.

And yes, I tried GPS tools, I tried fasterfix, but no go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creebefu:
I'm on 7.1.0 and my GPS locks on within around 3 seconds.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.illes79:
I have been struggling with the same/similar problem ever since the2.3 upgrade.

The GPS doesn't lock for the first time, it gives up after couple of seconds ( no flashing GPS thingy ) and if locks it easily looses signal and never tries to lock again ( no flashing GPS sign ) unless I restart the app.

very annoying since since I'm using mytracks/sports-tracker to record my tracking/cycling.

is there any workaround? other than buying a new phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2xtreme:
I think using a Froyo ROM is the only way certain way to fix the GPS issue but you have to be willing to sacrifice battery life.

I haven't heard anything about how GPS is on the latest ICS builds though, so maybe there is hope?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacotb:
Stock, Cyanogen and Evervolv all support GPS on my Nexus One, it works fine on all of them. It's probable that you're chip's busted.

Edit: that's Evervolv ICS p13, by the way. Previous versions worked too.

[Kindle Fire General] Dannar:
Looking for a tab for my wife. Not only does she get a gift, but I get something to tinker with =)

There's a nook tablet in the trunk of my car. The hardware specs were better, and with the nook color's history, well...I leaped before I looked. The bootloader lockdown makes me a sad panda.

See, I dont want a weaksauce e-reader. I want a tablet! So, with a KF, I can put CM 7 on it (is that a honeycomb build?) and I'll basically have an acceptable tablet experience.

Should I return the nook? Does CM7 run stably on this thing? Are the hardware limitations (esp the lack of sd card port) really that restricting? Should I perhaps buy an actual tablet like a galaxy tab or a xoom?

I appreciate your input!

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
[Kindle Fire General] jolars:
CM7 is not running with sound, if she can handle that....

This sounds like getting her a shirt in your size and style for Christmas, not much of a gift imo.

Get her something SHE wants, not something YOU want.

(that said, I really like my Kindle Fire. I have not rooted as I actually like the amazon interface and it does everything I want it to do by sideloading apps off of my phone through dropbox. Read all of the issues people are having after rooting or messing with this or that before you get crazy with her device)
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Rooting itself is trivial...

I got one of these for my wife.... She had a real hard time using it, not because there was Any issues with the unit, actually it did everything she wanted... The trouble was when she wanted to use it, she had to pry it out of my hands.

I got my own.

While I didn't root her's before I did it on mine, that was more because she didn't need anything other than what it came with. And I wanted to make sure I was not going to mess something up.

So I did all the experimenting on mine, and after doing that, I had no issues with rooting hers to add some "extras". She just keeps it in unroot mode to do all her stuff and stays in the default UI that comes with the Kindle Fire.

At $199 (actually I got mine for $123), it is hard to justify not just getting your own and let her have the present you provided.

I think it is a way cool device... and play with (my own) all the time. She uses her's daily for ebooks, videos, netflix etc..
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
+1 don't buy her toys for yourself.

I got my wife a Nook Color a few months back that she uses daily. She'd call out a hit on me if I so much as thought of rooting it. I think it's still on 1.3 firmware, but I'm not going near it to find out.
[Kindle Fire General] Dannar:
Thanks for the input.

I see what you guys are saying, but it's not what you think. A lot of her family members have gotten ipads, and she wouldn't mind getting a tablet too. We mutually agreed that 500 was too much, and well, I dont subscribe to the maccult.

She always steals my phone to play games on. I have a thunderbolt, and she has an iphone 4. She once made mention that if she could get her favorite games from my phone on a tablet of her own...well, now that would be something.

Since an N64 emulator capable of playing Mario 64 (one of the allures of my phone for her) isn't included off the bat, I'm merely saying I'll enjoy doing the needed mods to this thing.

At 200 or 250 a pop, the price is right, no?

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
Sideloading is enabled by default on the Fire, so you could load emulators and whatever off-market apps you like without much effort.
[Kindle Fire General] littleemp:
Definitely get the KF over the NT if you plan on toying around with it. The Fire's development has picked up in the past few days and I'm sure we'll see a fully working ROM (hopefully CM9) very soon.

I personally have an Acer A100, but got one of my less tech inclined friends to buy a Fire and let me tinker with it until I'm satisfied, then I'll turn it over. So I can definitely relate to the allure of toying around with someone else's devices.
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
Root it, install Go Launcher EX, install Android market, install Dolphin browser, install Swype, then unroot.

Configure go launcher ex to your taste, then make it the default desktop. Make Dolphin the default browser.

You now have a tablet with the best of both worlds, as you can access all of the Amazon content, including prime videos.
[Kindle Fire General] andTab:
This.

As a previously very happy Nook Color owner, I was hoping that the NT would get hacked, but that effort seems to have stalled and all the devs are jumping on the NT bandwagon.

Even if the NT gets hacked in 1-2 months, all the devs seem to be getting Kindle Fires now ... and I know from experience that ROM development with only 1-2 devs is not pretty (especially if they eventually lose interest in your device).
[Kindle Fire General] gloos:
I would also get a kindle fire over a nook just because there will be ;ore developpers dedicated to the device. Although, look around the web, HP is going to sell a few touchpads for 99$ on ebay Friday, so you might check it out.

Quick question. Currently I have both a phone and a tablet. What I would like to do is have the note replace both devices. Nook will only show my magazine subscriptions on the tablet, so can someone please let me know if I would be able to view my magazines on the note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] bgalb:
I would also like to know if the Nook app works well on the note. Sold my Nook Color a few days ago and received my note yesterday. I have seen many bad reviews on the Nook app on Android Market (and some good ones) for the latest version. Apparently the update to the latest version screwed up a lot of current users. Am kind of afraid to download it till I am sure it will work OK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] timothyrjames:
re: Does n&b nook app see the note as a tablet?

The Nook app is probably the biggest reason I bought the Note. It was really great on the Nook with Android 2.3, but the new version on Android 4.0 can at best be called "cartoonish" - I called Barnes & Noble about the problem and they seemed genuinely concerned, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Search for the geekitarian blog - I put a screenshot of a book on the Nook app there.

Magazines work fine, however - they still look pretty good.

If you figure out how to make the Nook recognize the Note as a tablet, please share it.

The Nook app itself hasn't done anything to impact the rest of the phone's operation, just the app itself sucks on the Note.

Hi,

I prefer the battery icons from Gingerbread and thus spent some time making a higher res version from scratch. Have also added some animated charging icons.

Works nicely with Paul's system bar mods (I'm using the one with the search button, but have blanked off the legacy menu button for a cleaner look in ADWLauncher Ex and other apps)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeferoz:
I have a SGS2, rooted 2.3.6 XWKK5.

My question is: what is deodex and how do I deodex my SGS2?

I think this is the reason why I can't install most of the custom ROMs but I'm not sure since I am a noob.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Generally, Stock roms are odexed, and custom roms are deodexed.

In odexed rom, every app has an ".odex" associated with it's ".apk", which is responsible for pre-loading certain parts of the application.

In de-odexed rom, all apps are repackaged in such a way, that everything related to apk is in one place, i.e inside the .apk file itself. Deodexed rom has the advantage of facilitating deeper theme-ing and such.

You can not de-odex your phone, but you can install a custom rom.

First root your phone using the bat file method as mentioned in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

Download "darkyrom tool" from market.

Download a kernel with clockworkmod recovery. (Siyah/CF root, etc)

Put the tar/zip file in your internal usb storage, and use darky rom tool to flash the kernel. Now you are rooted, and has a custom recovery, all without a yellow triangle.

Browse through the forums to find a suitable rom for you. There are tons to choose from: GingerMod, CheckRom, Batista, Villain, Cognition, CM7, MIUI, etc etc.

Follow the instructions in the threads to flash rom through recovery.

You have now, a custom rom - deodexed. (Ain't this the reason we all join xda - to remove all 'stockiness' and apply 'custom-ness'!)

Hi, I have a Epic Touch that a bought from ebay and it was bricked when I bought it. I was hoping to unbrick it but I have had no luck. It will boot up and show the Galaxy screen(No triangle by the way) and then automatically go into the android system recovery mode. At this point I can move the vol buttons up and down but cannot select any options. Below it states:

I'm thinking that the original owner may have flashed the incorrect radio/rom perhaps. But here is the kicker, I can get into download mode just fine but I can't get any of my PC's to see it no matter what. I've did all the drivers installing and uninstalling with no luck.
