Probably wouldn't use hand sanitizer on a screen, as it contains alcohol. It can/will discolor your screen. However, hand sanitizer, or rubbing alcohol (in controlled amounts) would be just fine for the aluminum. I worked for a sign shop for 5 years and we used denatured alcohol on all metals. It can eat paint if used in large doses, but on a cotton swab, it should be just fine. Don't use it on the screen side though.. Just a bit of water and a micro fiber cloth..

I use baby wipes to clean the back
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
I have kids, so I have used baby wipes on a couple occasions.. Great for if you're cleaning your tools of oil! However, they seem to leave a bit of a "slick" residue afterwards.. And I'm talking about using clean wipes, not used.. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deltaechoe:
Um, wipe with baby wipe, then dry it off and no residue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
I can assure you, it works flawless with out any issues. Nothing works better that i have found. i have cleaned numerous phones and my rooted nook color. Ive had it for 6 months and clean it weekly.
[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
When I want to install a bunch of mods to customise a ROM e.g. remove rosie nav bar, remove lockscreen nav bar, remove clock background, etc, do I have to do a reboot after I flash each mod? Or can I flash them one after the other in recovery and just do a single reboot?
[HTC Sensation] JustinRawr:
I've always flashed them one by one. But I know if you have the fully featured version of 4EXT Recovery Control, you can flash as many as you want at once. Check the link below for more info.

[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
Ah, cool. On the 4EXT page is says "Flash as many zip files you want in one go".

Thanks for the link/help.
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
can i flash lot of files without rebooting in CWM??
[HTC Sensation] biggunsv:
It depends from what do you want to flash. I've flashed CRT + APM + Battery mod + EQS in one go on ARHD Sense 3.0 ROM with both CWM and 4EXT. I had no problems, but you know, "if in doubt, leave it out" :) Make a nandroid backup, try it and you'll know next time if you can do it or not :)
[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
All the mods I mentioned in my first post installed fine without rebooting between each flash.

Why do some people still use CWM instead of 4EXT? Are there some things that CWM can do that 4EXT can't? Or is it just for use with older firmware/ROMS?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Majinjin:
I used the ota blocking root. The one with the video and all is well. I love my rooted Nikki and the smart minds of this community, so thanks to all. Moving on, I used the option in the computer. .bat file that gave the option of pressing the physical ''n" button key to back out to home. I don't like it because it doesn't allow me to pull up the option menus in some apps, which is important since the taskbar doesn't always show, like in emulators and I also miss the menu it pops up at home screen with the search etc.

So, i'm wondering if there is a way to return the "n" button to default without rerooting? Thanks to all who help.

Also, I can't open my keyboard setting to turn off the auto- correct feature. It's annoying. It force closes every time, even if I reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
This is the stock SystemUI, rename it to SystemUI.apk. Took it from the acclaim_update.zip

StockSystemUI.apk

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Majinjin:
Would I just rename and drop it in the root folder from my pc?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
root folder? you mean to reroot? there is no need to reroot just rename the file copy it to your sdcard and then by suing ES file explorer or Root explorer Cut/move it to /system and paste it, then long press SystemUI.apk now if you used Root Explorer (not free) select permissions from the list and change it to this:

Once done long press it again but now pick change owner from the list (scroll down is at the end of the list) and change:

Owner: 0 - root

Group: 0 - root

If you used ES file explorer (free) then long press SystemUI.apk and select properties from the list, change permissions same as in the pic i posted above.

Once done that cut/move it to /system/app folder

REBOOT to finish

I will give it a try when I get some time to myself, thanks.
[Epic 4G Apps] xplus93:
I've been trying to find a working version of sony's timescape to use on the epic. It looks really nice and i'd like to try it. I found one that said it was for CM7 but I think it was in one of the sony phone forums and the launcher was kinda messed up and the CWM zip wouldn't do anything. Thats probably because of mtd.

I would like to know this too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
Infinisense slow? Sorry to hear about that and I haven't had time to update it.. I'll try to port from another ruu then

I see that there's a elcair sense for magic+ (rogers) HTC , i'll try to port from that since most things should be working..

[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
Using ICS 0.3.6 BETA I think it helped get a lock on GPS for navigation.

So thanks!
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Those beta ICS builds are risky business for gps right now. I'd say a 80% success rate at this point just because of build issues...

Glad it seems to be working! I'm sure it'll be even better once the build get more finalized.
[Desire Android Development] joningi:
I just flashed the Google Specific CWM flashable zip. I've got the 5.0.2.0 CWM, running Mildwild 2.3 CM7.1 Nightly mod (S-OFF).

It seems like the GPS signal got a little bit more precise, I can't say it got ALOT better, but it did not get worse... I tested google maps before and after. The lock was faster and more precise than before the patch.

I'll have to test it at different locations (currently I'm just sitting at work) to get a clearer difference.

GREAT work by the way!

EDIT: it seems like I've gotten even faster lock after downloading assisted GPS data with the 'GPS status' app. Locks 95% correct position in only few secs!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It works pretty well on the Desire. Was going to add the patch and credits to my ROM, but had to pull my latest update for some other reasons.

Swyped on my Htc Desire running on Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with 2 GB of Internal memory
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
Yes, really works with Desire

I can connect at 10 sats in less than 10 seconds... nice!! :) :D

Thx
[Desire Android Development] yreham:
this patch should have been on the desire a long time ago, when i tried it about two weeks ago i was surprised to get a fix sitting in the middle of my living room in less than 1mn when it used to take 10mn even placed by my window thank you
[Desire Android Development] eXDee:
I've been grabbing this from the p500 section for a while. Its no different per device, so its always worked on the desire. This is just at clone of the other thread.

Can confirm it works nicely on CM7.1 Nightlies and ICS.
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Works perfect on my desire, fast and precise.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
Which version did you use then on your ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
Wow! What a difference. Before I installed this, my maps and sportstracker app had trouble with gps. I was kind of "jumpy" in maps and sportstracker had trouble setting a start position. But now gps-lock is almost instant! Must admit I was a sceptic to gps scripts before. Now I'm proven wrong. I'm running Sandvoids ICS-rom. But had same issues on cm7.1.

Thanks for a great solution!
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Can confirm that this is working on Desire. Installed Google Specific build as recommended, and it's working perfectly. GPS lock is definitely quicker and more accurate - I even managed to get a GPS lock from indoors, which my Desire never managed before.

I'm using Runnymede AIO v5.0.4 ROM, btw, in case anyone else using that ROM should want to try this out.
[Desire Android Development] wright32873:
I had pretty good GPS coverage, (Melbourne Australia.) 8 of 12 sats and 6 metre accuracy with a hook up time of about 7 seconds. I flashed the google flashable file, this halved the hook up time and connects to 100% of days with an error as little as 3 metres.

HTC desire, great patch.
[Desire Android Development] Patchank:
Hum ... since i flashed it in recovery maps won't connect anymore saying the app requires an active data connection (which is active yes)

Anyone an idea ?

[Desire Android Development] EZ-man:
sorry for my bad English

is it mean my android version or just a patch version?
[Desire Android Development] adario73:
patch confirmed working great on desire with miui xj !
[Desire Android Development] Patchank:
yup, rebooting changes nothing and as a matter of fact, it completely broke my data connection :confused:
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
First: To all that confirmed it working, glad it's operating well! I didn't expect so many comments so fast. I can't go through and multi-quote the whole thread so thanks to all! ;)

3.1 uses my servers and 2.2 uses NTP.ORG and Qualcomm.

The patch cannot break anything. Something else is up with your setup, maybe the ROM? Is it a CM nightly? This patch, as the first post details, only replaces a non-required /etc/gps.conf and /etc/suplrootcert. Neither do anything with your data connections.

ROM and Radio maybe.

Are you running any apps that try to "fix" GPS? The Notes Section is vital to anyone with issues to actually review.

Supply lots of information.

[Desire Android Development] aritrea:
i'm on BCM 0.3.3 and flashed agps.patch.google.build.v3.1.zip in recovery;

unfortunately after flashing this file I could not start most of my apps anymore due to an error when creating cache

W/dalvikvm( 2105): Cached DEX '/data/app/com.chartcross.gpstest-1.apk' (/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.chartcross.gpstest-1.apk@classes.dex) is stale and not writable
I/dalvikvm( 2105): Unable to open or create cache for /data/app/com.chartcross.gpstest-1.apk (/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.chartcross.gpstest-1.apk@classes.dex)

do you have any clue why i get this error? Might it even be related to your file since you only replace the gps.conf and add a SuplRootCert??

or might flashing the wrong file - Google Specific instead of the cwm flashable - be the reason? (edit: probably yes..)

€dit:

i pushed both files to my phone via adb - things seem to work very fine. Anyway i obviously was confused of which file to use :D
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Very odd results indeed. If a file wasn't using the correct update binary, the recovery flashing should only fail. Definitely weird and signals something else is flakey and this just brought out the visible issue.

Glad you got your phone going in the end with an ole ADB push! ;)

[Desire Android Development] DiceRy:
I wasn't expecting much but just brief testing inside my house shows incredible improvement. 10 - 20 seconds I had 2 satellites. After 60 - 120 seconds I had 10 sats locked, inside my house which is an incredible result.

Now i see the Thanks button again ^^
[Desire Android Development] Patchank:
Yup, as far as I understood the patch couldn't do anything bad and still ... :p maybe the zip flash went wrong ... anyway i wiped all data, reflashed the ROM and pushed the files (didn't wanna risk it a second time :D) and everything is now smooth :cool: a great thank to you sir !

[Desire Android Development] charlie1voyvoy:
mmm worked almost perfect. I do not know if it is because it get too many satellites but from time to time on my way home the gps thought i was in the next parallel street. strange isnt it?. quickly adjusted to the real position but like i say from time to time changing my location to a next road.
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Signal variance. Do you have a case? If so, remove and try again.

Are you inside or outside? What are surroundings like?

That happens to me in this old building my flat is in. It jumps position but that's because my physical surroundings are crap. When I'm outside, and in some other buildings, it stays accurate.
[Desire Android Development] charlie1voyvoy:
I was in the car driving home. I must say that was first trial and starting from a narrow hidden road. However kept confusing my location all the way untill home and therefore re routing each 5-10 minutes. Any advise?

Post note: I was in edinburgh ( UK ) i do not know if then i should get a different trunk ??
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
What was your margin of error in the gps status app?

Describe how it was confusing your location?

This doesn't do anything to make a gps map program operate better than its libs provide for. Have you tried another map app or know this one is 110% operational.
[Desire Android Development] charlie1voyvoy:
Do not worry was a small tiral. I go for a meeting tomorrow and i wiill report feed back. I am still on a beta rom and that can be the case. Thanks anyway.
[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
I've just downloaded this and can't wait to try it. For ages I have had issues with the GPS on lots of roms, mainly where I would get a lock, then lose it again every 5 seconds or so. It's also happening on my current rom Cyanogen 7.1. Interestingly, if I reboot the phone the GPS then works fine, as though something is messing with the GPS as the phone is used which rebooting clears out. Dunno if this makes sense to anyone.

I will flash this tomorrow when I have a bit of spare time and will report back. Hopefully this will fix the only remaining issue I have with my Desire. :)
[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
Flashed this morning. No adverse effects. Not used GPS for 2 weeks. Initial fix took about a minute though car was moving. Return trip fix took around 10 seconds. Never lost signal at all. Seems to work. Thank you for sharing.
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Yeah, first locks take some time. It's good to let it run for a while to build up the cache.
[Desire Android Development] charlie1voyvoy:
as i promised

came back from the meeting. GPS working perfect!!! big thanks!!!
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
saw that one of the ICS builds has this built in now :)
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Ah really? What one? I don't recall any dev informing me of it via private message for this device. No big deal, I just like to keep track. ;)
[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
Well, just to report, I used the GPS again this afternoon. Took about a minute to get a fix, but once it had one I never lost the signal again. So this fix does appear to have cured my problem where I would get a lock and lose it again every 5 seconds. Finally, an end to having reboot the phone every time I needed the Sat Nav. Thank you so much for sharing. I have stored this somewhere safe in case I need it again with another rom.

Working fine on Cyanogen 7.1 :D

Flashed the latest Google one, all well..

One question though, below is a pic of my gps settings within my rom (miui xj), they haven't changed after flashing, is this normal? Should I change them to something else? I'm from Denmark btw, hence the DK in ntp..

Sent from my Commodore 64
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
Nah, it's essentially equal to the one in my patch for Google. But, I am curious how this settings file plays with GPSD on the fly compared to the stock gps.conf.

Is there a way to disable it using these settings you enter?
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
You mean if I can disable your patched gps.conf file in the rom and use the ones I enter in the settings, or the other way around?

Not sure if i understand your question correctly, sorry.. :/

Sent from my Commodore 64
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
If you can disable the MIUI's control from that interface and use the "standard" settings found in the gps.conf... The reason is that interface might override all settings in the gps.conf I supplied thus negating some benefits. I don't know how it works...
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Ok, i see. Not sure how it works either. I'll ask the dev about this :) Thanks for your help

Works super great om my Desire with MildWild 3.5. Flashed the google recommended 3.1 . Now it finds gps signal in 20 seconds before 5 minutes. Thanks a lot.
[Desire Android Development] Ravens97:
Tried this patch today. But it seems to have disabled my GPS totally on my phone, although luckily I backed up before I did this. I moved the files to system via es file explorer, and made sure I had mounted system. Im running Droidzones 2.1 ROM.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Thanks in advance

Flashed the google specific CWM package into my Cool ICS Sense v2 by coolexe, and now GPS works like a charm; it works in about 2-3 seconds and is (almost) perfectly stable. Only a little problem, now the weather in sense's widget doesn't work anymore, but I think I can cope with that :)
[Desire Android Development] crypted:
You copied them over. Did they end up with the right permissions? For some reason, there were Desire users reporting issues with permissions for a couple of ROMs. Permissions 755 should be fine.

Did you reboot a couple of times? Pull the battery for a bit? This would force it to clear its cache... Or, clear cache in Recovery?

Glad it helped. The config file has no bearing on Sense widget. It sounds like there's some LIB going insane on the ROM you have...but that's way outside of this little gps.conf patch.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
The sense weather widget thing if you mean the location hasnt working properly for ages.

always been saying 'united kingdom' to me - sometimes flicks over and finds the right place but then flicks back to being generic again soon after.

happens on my Win Mo 6.5.x, the desire, friends sensation, another friends desire and so on and so on. I hope HTC fix it one day as it kinda sucks - it used to be cool
[Desire Android Development] resadent:
Not for me - it detects the location but says there isn't any weather information avaible. It used to work before flashing this patch, but now it doesn't. As I said, it is nothing to worry about.

This patch doesn't change anything with weather data retrieval. Sorry it has occurred my friend. But, this indicates there's something else going on.

I use Weatherbug anyway... :D
[Desire Android Development] resadent:
Yep that might be true... but also, after installing your patch dialer shows numbers properly, before they used to be very small and were in the corner of the screen inside the dialer. They are weird things, but I prefer to keep your patch ;) Maybe it is why I installed my ROM using amonRA and flashed your patch using CWM after doing a backup with it.
[Desire Android Development] Aronoskarss:
So....can i use 4EXT recovery, you don't include that in you info.
