op if i may post a fix for getting fast gps sat locks i use this and get instant locks on any rom/kernel/modem, hope it helps someone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Did this fix the GPS problem we were looking at in your other thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
*Wrong thread*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
What does this do/replace? Did you make it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Did you even read the op? He says everything u would need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Did you even read what I quoted? Someone else posted a different fixfor lock issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
It should, this is a ROM issue and not a modem issue. It may not fix the problem you're having but it shouldn't hurt to try either! :)

Yeah, just EL ROMs. The Beautiful Widgets issue is because of Network Location. You might want to also try the fix for that, there's a link in the OP. I could also throw together a ZIP with both fixes in it pretty easily.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interhawk1:
This defiantly fixed my gps problems! Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i didnt make it but been using it sing "old epic" days and does wonders for getting a lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Awesome could you do that please?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Here you go, this should do the trick :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I notice the zip says el29 Rome will that work on el13 also? I went to.el13 and that bug is still exsistent.

Sent from my Epic 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Yeah, I used EL29 in the name since that's the official OTA but it'll work on any EL ROM. Technically you can install it on EG30 and EK02 also but there's really no reason to :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
no man...I tried pretty much everything but nothing is working. The best I can get is a lock after a couple minutes but I have to use GPS status before hand and on a test run the GPS wouldn't keep IP with my driving. I'm really aggravated. I tried clean installs and nandroiding back to previous working flashes but still not workimg
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Thanks SO MUCH man I think this has done the trick.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
After loading EL29, and having it not be able to lock at all, I did 2 reboots, and since then, it literally locks in 2 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Although this fix didn't really work for me I found one thing that helped me get a faster lock in Google Navigation. I cleared MAPS cache and data and right after doing that I got a fast lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
SWEEEET! Ive been having GPS issues since I've had the phone. Flashed this baby and got a lock in less than 2 seconds. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I spoke too soon...didn't do diddly squat. my GPS is still DOA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Every GPS fix I have used so far works including this one! However... Every time I use navigation it stutters like freezes in place and might eventually pick back up. Anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
Seems the same maybe atad more unstable, kept dropping and picking up satellites never got below 39ft accuracy switched back to normal got 12ft, I fixed my gps issues for the most part by using a verbose gps.conf

Although the network location intermittently is better so thanks op!

Thanks for this soo much! Worked like magic!

Sent from my divalicious Epic Touch 4G!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShiftyBob:
Thanks Brother! Wiped Dalvik/Cache (just because I always do when flashing anything) and it worked like a charm! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Thanks. Going to give this a try. I remember when I first got this phone and I was on EK02, I NEVER had GPS lock issues. It would lock up in 10 to 15 seconds. Coming over to EL anything, issues developed.

No joke, I can turn on my GPS and 30 minutes later no lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
If I don't like the results of flashing this, can I flash the EL29 modem on top in order to go back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
This doesn't affect the modem at all. You would need to reflash your ROM or just copy over the two files listed in the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
What don't you like about it? Worked PERFECTLY for me!

I know the OP said this will NOT make your phone lock faster but it sure the hell did for me! I've never had any issues with keeping my lock even when my phone sleeps but, for example Google Maps, Nav etc would take 15, 20, even 30 minutes to lock and sometimes required a reboot.

No joke, I'm locking in 3 to 5 seconds constantly now. I've been sitting here turning the GPS on and off and literally watching the "Looking for Sat's" message popup and disappear just that fast in Google Nav. It's almost an instant lock now!

I even tried turning it off and letting the phone sleep for a while. I also tried leaving it on and letting the phone sleep and bring it back. Just as fast as I can launch something that needs GPS, it locks.

My setup:

Calk's 2.8.1 EL29 Bare ROM

Rouges 1.40 "Gunslinger" Kernel

Don't really have a need for Rouges 1.4.1 yet (don't even use Voodoo) so I haven't tried that combo yet.

One thing I will note, I THOUGHT this broke my phone. When I rebooted my icons were all gone from my main screen and side screens. Pressing the apps dock/tray did NOTHING either. I was just about to Nandroid back when I decided to boot back into recovery and try wiping cache and dalvik again, that did it, works flawlessly now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scott500:
Flashed the combo zip file hoping it would help my gps but no luck. Still very long waits for a gps fix and now I notice that the accuracy is now much worse too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
This has happened to me before in the past with flashing other items. Very frustrating. I ended up nandroiding back to fix, next time I'll try to wipe caches as you did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
I almost made the ZIP wipe cache and dalvik-cache but after testing with a couple of ROMs on two different phones, I didn't think it was necessary. I can make another ZIP that does clear the cache this weekend though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geeksmurf:
Any clue why gapps would start crashing after installing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Just a quick update. Decided to fire up my GPS on the way to work today. Was going about 75mph on the highway and I clicked my GPS On button, by the time I hit my home button and launched Google Nav, I had a satellite lock!

I'm loving this instant lock stuff! My GPS is actually usable now. I've tested it like 100 times now it seems. I still giggle like a school girl when I see instant lock! :p

As I said before, I've never had an issue keeping lock once I get it, it was the 15~20+ minutes waiting for lock and rebooting that annoyed me. Couldn't keep GPS on or is killed my battery so I just didn't use it much. Maybe once a week, always the same issues, didn't want to lock or took forever.

Glad I found this! Thanks again OP!

Think I'm going to try Rouge's 1.5.0 "Hitman" kernel today too. I'll report back if it breaks anything but I don't see why it would, I hope! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stevetrooper:
I had the same problem, after a rebooted, gapps would crash. I had to delete the /system/app/NetworkLocation.odex file and then after a reboot, no more errors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiseguyy:
Yea funny LOS circle at boot and google gapps stopped

Prior to any flash i wipe cache and dalvik and which i did in this case prior to flashing this fix. Now i am experiencing a google process gapps has stopped error at boot and i get a brief LOS circle showing the the phone blinks and the LOS symbol goes away. Strange occurrence maybe but ill back out do a complete wipe and reflash of strong steves rom again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Try this

I forgot to mention the NetworkLocation.apk from my combined ZIP is from a deodexed ROM, sorry about that! If you remove /system/app/NetworkLocation.odex, that should take care of it. Another thing for me to add to the ZIP file!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiseguyy:
Hey Trooper, where is this file set located: /system/app/NetworkLocation.odex file

Hey Trooper, where is this file set located: /system/app/NetworkLocation.odex file
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Just another quick update. Updated to Rouge's 1.5.0 "Hitman" (touch recovery) Kernel and this is still locking fast and strong.

Wouldn't think the Kernel/Recovery would mess with this but you never know! It didn't though. Using GPS Status simply for checking satellites, I'm showing a 10/10 for seen satellites and locks and the phone still locks INSTANTLY!

Loving it! Thanks again OP. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stevetrooper:
Use root explorer or whatever file explorer you have installed and navigate to /system/app you will find the NetworkLocation.odex file there.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Is there a way we can get a odex version? Will it be a problem running a deodexed version on an odex ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
This is definitely a must have....my GPS finally locks in almost instantaneously. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
As far as I know it shouldn't be a problem but if anyone runs into an issue with that, I can pull the odexed version from EK02 and post that.

Either way I'll at least be posting a new ZIP that automatically clears the caches and removes NetworkLocation.odex if it exists.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
It's nice isn't it. Loving the instant locking. I fire it up just to watch it lock lol! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vishalsheth:
How do I load this file? Please explain. I'm on stock el29 rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Is it safe to flash with the other files in this thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Are there any for ics roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
No, this was to fix a regression in EL29 that caused the GPS to sleep and never come back up. That regression has since been repaired so this is not needed in ICS ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vishalsheth:
There's another fix. This works on ICS too.

1. You should know your MSL (usually 000000)

2. Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#) This will clear and reset your GPS

3. Enter the MSL as the password (000000)

4. Your phone will automatically reboot. If it does not (mine didn't) reboot your phone.

5. Once booted back in the ROM open Maps or Navigation or GPS test application and obtain a GPS fix (This is an important step!)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlobbaTech:
I was on a rooted Epic 4g EI22 and it worked well. Received the OTA EL30 update a few days ago, wouldn't install due to being rooted. Returned phone to stock EI22, did the EL30 update, then rooted the EL30. Phone works fine for the most part in the short time it's been on EL30.

The problem I experience is after choosing either 'sender' or 'all' when you choose to reply to an e-mail, the phone returns back to the mail inbox and I am unable to reply to e-mails. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution to it?

With EL30 I also experienced a problem with not being able to answer incoming calls (could hear ringer) but no visible notification other than a force close button for the phone would appear. Quickly found a remedy on here which was to reduce the quantity of 'Reject With Message' options to less than five in the call settings menu.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you restore data to get your account info back? Clear data in the emal app and re-enter your account info manually.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlobbaTech:
Through the update process I made my phone return to a 'stock' setting with none of my personal data or user installed apps on it (same condition as if the phone was just purchased from a store). After rooting the EL30 I used Titanium Backup to put all of the apps and data back onto the phone.

EDIT: I just tried the suggestion of removing the e-mail account from the phone and setting the same account up again on the phone. In doing this, the reply function seems to work as normal now. Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You restored system data with Titanium. Don't do that..lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
That little indent comes from contacts or google plus having sync on (i think). I did update the OP with something a little more tame lol (gray main screen background and white conversation background)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work. Last request I promise, but do you by chance have the stock mms apk with stock icon? Figure this would be the easiest request. I'm running nitroz's black exodus and just hate the all black mms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.

ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
No idea how to do that. And I don't have a working computer right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
stock MMS

10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
Thank you. And again I hope you didn't take any offense to that. I'm just picky about something I stare at majority of my day (as I'm sure we all are). Once I get a working computer I was thinking about learning how to theme as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
lol i hit thanks by mistake. No offense here- you do this long enough, you'll run into all types (and there's nothing wrong with being picky IMO as long as you aren't a jackass :)) I'm too old to get pissed about android :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
You seem good at it though. Wanna become a teacher? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Shoot me a PM if you want some basics to start with :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kendall316:
Sweet deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
No problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
All issues should be resolved. I still have a few ideas, but they're still in development for now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Dreaded FC is now fixed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamZo:
I really love your mod!

Is it possible to make one without the text shadow and where the bubbles touch each other (like in stock MMS.apk)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Sure, no problem-I'll throw it together when I get back to my laptop tomorrow morning and post as an alternative. If like to add a black and blue version as well if time allows in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
OP updated with alternate version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamZo:
Thanks for the new version! It's really awesome on my Sensation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamZo:
I have another request. The ICS blue theme does not match with my keyboard theme anymore... Could you make one with the stock theme but just have the sender bubbles in a very light grey or blue color in the conversations?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I added dark themed version that i made for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamZo:
Can you tell me where is the file and line that contain the code for the color of the receiver "bubble" in the stock mms.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
The background of the received text is located in /res/layout/message_list_item_recv.xml at line 8 using the attribute android:background="#ffffffff" (if you want white, that is. For other colors, just sub the hex color of your choice)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamZo:
Thanks for the info. I made a mod that's similar to the stock gingerbread sms (received txt background is light blue) with the stock ics mms.apk. Would you like me to send it to you to upload it to the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] panyongs73:
very good theme!

have nice day artvandelay440: D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Thanks :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brock1909:
i love the themes. can you please maybe take the blue/black version and remove the white boxes around the text in the conversations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motoman234:
This is the coolest looking MMS theme I've seen yet. My only complaint is when you hit back after typing a message, there is a white background behind the keyboard and it looks out of place momentarily. Besides that, I love it. Great job
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Just noticed that. Not sure where that value would be stored, but I'll have a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brock1909:
also if you dont want to remove the white boxes in the black/blue version. when u send a message, the far side of the box is green, not white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Oh, I completely forgot lol. I'll add the no box version this afternoon. The green is really odd, and might be a screen issue with the nexus, as it does it a test app I wrote with a simple 1px white border.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brock1909:
interesting and Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ars0n:
Hello sir! Were you able to figure out why in landscape mode the text box comes up in white? I have this problem.. everything else works fine... do know the line that needs to be edited in order to make landscape text entry in MMS.apk black instead of white?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Done- let me know how it goes, since my nexus is at home and i'm currently traveling. OP updated with no boxes version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brock1909:
It worked great. Could u keep the shadow text though? Or just tell me what file it is and I'll put it in the apk. Thank you again for everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
Hrm, are the black/blue Minus download links down or just weird interaction with Android Chrome beta? Wanted to give then a shot.

Edit: it was indeed a Chrome beta thing. All good, thanks. Looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motoman234:
I'm not sure if its chromes fault or not since I'm using it too but everything from minus didn't work for me. Then I created an account (which is extremely easy) and its worked ever since for all files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
It's a shame, but it seems like minus is kinda flaky sometimes with downloads. Not sure why, but i love it's ease of use.

Oh, and I had taken out the shadow for another mod and compiled my changes on the wrong build. I'll add them back and re upload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
So I'm really liking the Black/Blue with no shadow version... only really have one personal nitpick. Any interest in modifying in some way to make the input box and (more importantly) the cursor visible again? A little funny to edit text.

Either way, thank you for your efforts... they are appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Well, reverting back to a white input box doesn't really fit the theme, and the cursor is a systemui edit, so you'd have to do that one for your systemui.apk :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
Hrm... what about making the black slightly lighter, I don't know what the best way to name it is... carbon/graphite? I'm sure you know what I mean, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brock1909:
could you maybe get a black/blue/no boxes and have the shadow text included? Also a small thing but when you go over your 1 text and u know how it counts your characters in the box with the send, well that is very dark and hard to see...maybe make that ICS blue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
how can i modify this for sprint? i assume the mms settings will need to be changed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jroyalty7:
New links minus ones are down?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
In just downloaded this. I don't know why it took me this long to see the thread. Superb in every way. I would like to second the suggestion on the box shade so that the cursor would be a bit visible. Perhaps a lighter shade just for the boxes. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] happymfeet:
Does this MMS app support and have emoji like the stock MMS app on AOKP build 40?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Honestly i almost forgot I did this project lol. It was one of my first theme attempts. I'd love to maintain it all, but I simply have too many other things to do especially with jellybean out. As far as emoji support, this one does not have it since it's so old, but all my new ones from my elegance themes do. Link to those are in my signature.
