I don't think you need to worry about the E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]. There are actually a bunch of threads regarding it. As far as your ROM acting funny -- try the standard:

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe (yes it is wiped even with the error)

Fix Permissions

Reboot and let phone sit 10 mins to rebuild caches.

If that doesn't work....

Factory wipe and reflash ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Well ive tryed all that and more, the last rom didnt have any of these problems. Now i noticed the phone getting hot so i installed setcpu, and the cpu isnt scaling, it just sits at 1000mhz , if i set max at 200mhz the phone cools off and charges much faster. I think its a kernel issue, why it is happening to some and not others i dont know. Do you know of any good kernels i could try? One that O/C's?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
What ROM are you on? If you are on Valhalla Black - people are OCing with that. Sometimes you need to start fresh man. Flash to complete KJ6 stock, factory reset, wipe all caches and start over. Sometimes even reflash stock twice to make sure you get all the gremlins off the phone.

I am on Valhalla Black - rc3.1 - and I have not had a SINGLE issue. A lot of people haven't had any issues. But I flashed from stock... hmmmm.

Maybe try it. Otherwise I defer to somebody else to help you. Consider hitting thanks!

BTW I get the same error when wiping dalvik. But it still wipes it and no big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Yes im on that rom

So just flash the stock kj6 rooted rom and then VB? Ill try that but if that dont work then i dunno cus i dont have a computer, thanks for tryin though, you still helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Flash it twice... no computer??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Nope. Not one at home

So you overclocked with the kernel in VB?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Not me... I don't feel like I need it. The ROM is flawless as far as I am concerned. But I have read posts from others saying they have overclocked.

thomas.raines - "I'm using Lightning Zap with no issues. Brought the quad scrores (although not very meaningful) from 2100+ to 2600+ NOT Oc'd, improved FPS, and OC'd I finally hit a 3000+..."
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
If you want to overclock just use tegrak paid. I have OC'd on this and it works fine. No heat issues other than what you would expect.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Hmm.. downloaded the app and says 1ghz is the highest i can go
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
you need paid version, legit from market
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
No. Its not that. It does the same thing with setcpu
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Ok, i wiped everything and reflashed. Let it sit. I checked to see if the phone was idleing, it was i rebooted, and after every step i checked if it was idleing and once i signed into google and opened the market, phone idle under battery usage went away and now its not idleing. Dunno what this means but im just going back to the last build till this is figured out, thanks for all the help though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Yeah, its the market. All is well untilled I open the market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Did you load the overclock module?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Yup i did..........
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Baler, can you get a log of what happens when you open Market? If you're sure that's when the issue starts, that would help, maybe....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
I'm sure that's when it starts. I don't have a computer at the moment. Its hard to do all this without one. If I get to one and can get a log for it ill report back here. Prolly wont be till tomorrow though. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
No worries, I'll keep an eye on the thread
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BAleR:
Thanks man, if I don't report back in the next day or two I prolly can't get it. Thanks though.

Problem solved with new build, thanks guys
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
I have been running Elite Mod and then gummy nex for over a month now I believe but now the flashing junkie inside of me is coming out and I'm urged to see what other development is going on. So what is everybody running these days? I wanna try something new for a while. I was thinking about the ICS MIUI or swamp goblins dianxin port that is similar to it, I love the MIUI look and style. I know that I will in fact end up going back to GummyNex after a while I just wanna check something else out for a bit and calm my flashing urges. Lol. So any opinions?

Edit: Flashed a couple other roms and needed around with them for a bit. Decided none could live up to Gummy so I went back. Lol. Anyways. This thread is now useless. Mods please delete.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegtfusion:
I was also on gummy and coudnt go back to other roms, until I tried codename android 1.2.. believe me, i tried allll ICS roms that are out now and codename android is the BEST OF THE BEST!!! :D

Give it a try! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
I think I might. What kernel are you running with it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixtapes08:
Im using gummy now. I think its the best both on stabilty and buterly smothness. Ive tried tried codename android but it have some weird lags in drawer and some apps so icame back again in gummynex rom. ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rexstor:
what apps should i use to test the gps effectiveness?

can you recommended?

gps test??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
Works for me. Not sure if it is really faster than before. But it is fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Thank you very much for posting this in this section....

Will try at night and post results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Thanks a lot.

Edit: Getting a fix is somewhat faster now. Kudos!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
I recommend using only GPS Status.

All, thanks for confirming that it works. Those who have a ROM with GPS working fine won't get much out of this patch normally. Sometimes you will get an uptick in speed or accuracy. But for those who have crap GPS performance, this may be the solution required.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patnmn:
Flashed the T-Mobile zip and got a lock within 3 seconds. Very impressive. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
Installed the Google Build with the ADB Installer on Andromadus A10 (ICS) and it works great. Google Maps used to have trouble fixing a GPS location but with the patch it happens in 10 sec. Even indoor fixing is working! (got 4 satelites indoor, up to 8 when I put the phone next to the window)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Holy sh!t... it worked! I've tried EVERYTHING to get a quick lock including changing lib files, so files, radios, wiping efs, etc and the only thing that every worked quickly was gps status by reseting gps data and downloading it. it was just an extra annoying step but still. I used the 3.1v google specific and flashed. It didn't change the files even after mounting system but I ended up doing it manually with root explorer and changing the permissions. It could have been due to it being made for CWM and I use 4EXT recovery. Either way, just double check the date on the files in root explorer to make sure and the permissions and all with be good. Thanks again! Works instantly!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Everyone: Be sure to post the zip that you chose to flash! There are a lot, and we'll cut down on questions about which one to use if you post which one you went with!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Yeah, sorry for all the options. I need to write a little better discussion on them toward the top of the post rather than relying on people to read the notes fully. It's on my to-do list though admittedly toward the bottom.

Always try the Google builds first. The other builds only have different SUPL settings and/or certificates. Those use the SUPL server provided by the company name in the build title.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Tested it.

Looks pretty good. Used GPS Test to test it. Cleared my AGPS data then updated it. Got 9 sats in about 20 seconds and finally lock. Turned it off (my GPS) and back on, and in about 2 seconds....

FINALLY a GPS fix. It seems pretty good so keep bumping this up people :)

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

I used the Google one that was recommended. Im running CM7.1 and I used another lib from another GPS that was suppose to be better.....This patch doesnt touch that file and it seems to be working great too....

Ill have to test it out some more

Oh....and its snowing here :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cobra281:
so uh... it doesn't state in the notes that it works with the G2, and i know it's the same as the DZ, but just to make sure- will it work on the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Hardware's basically identical. Yeah. I'll try and clean that up and make two links to indicate G2 is good. The issue just lies in the two phone names sharing one development thread.

Give it a go and take GPS power back in your hands! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Yeah it wasnt on the list but the HDH was so............
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
No worries. Did it work out well for you?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cobra281:
thanks! method 1 worked great, and google maps and gpstest are both finding satellites much faster!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Yes. I am seeing faster lockon and it is seeing satellites faster.

That said, it is snowing here as well so....

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

And I did this inside my house.......Like I said, it seems pretty good :)

Anything for the Desire Z's GPS is good........

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

lol.........I actually was here in front of my PC typing this testing again my GPS and it was messing around with 5-7 satellites but couldn't get a lock. I live a attic and I actually picked up the phone and put in near the window that is on the roof. It actually took less than 2 seconds (yes, less than 2, I'm not kidding) to find 11 satellites and lock.

Now Im back in front of my PC and here it is in front of me with 5 sats but lock remains

This patch is ****ing amazing lol.......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Any source code for this? Some ROM developers might want to integrate this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
All there is to it is the /etc/gps.conf and the /etc/suplrootcert.

Over 30 ROM's have this baked in. All the devs do is place those files in their ROM files. :D Very easy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 doesn't have this baked in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Sure doesn't. But they build for many devices that don't share this hardware so it may not be in their best interés either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
CM included many fixes for many individual devices which do not have common hardware.

Im just suggesting something, nothing else.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
I'm certainly not against it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pfak:
I would recommend the following options in /system/etc/gps.conf:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

AGPS=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

This avoids using 3rd party AGPS servers and NTP servers, and uses the standard ntp.org NTP (which has TONS of servers backing it) as well as Qualcomm's GPS servers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Use version 2.2 and review the notes section.

Tons of servers is meaningless. I use stratum 2 servers rather than tons of random ntp repeaters. Wikipedia it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pfak:
The whole point of your post is to solicit donations. Even though you're hosting your "mirror" of the GPS data on a GoDaddy shared hosting account.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Secureserver, which does work with Godaddy and other environments, is the primary point yes. There is mirroring. And, I have stratum 2 NTP via my own DNS pool based on collected routing data from various cell networks.

You can say what you will, but you're really not proving anything.

Your whole point is negated by the v2.x trunk which uses Qualcomm and NTP.ORG and always has. If someone wanted to use v3.x and get better benefit, they are more than welcome.

Used the cwm patch and wow am seeing great results using ilwt cm7 rom and very happy! Thank u for this
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
A question about permissions that the gps.conf file should have :

* my old backuped one was ---rwxr-x

* my new one (CWM) is now rw-r--r-- (just as the SuplRootCert I didn't have before)

It is to be corrected with root explorer, right ?

(testing it on ICS 0.3.10 on Desire Bravo)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
There is no reason to change permissions. Each level of user can read the files. Writing and executing aren't necessary because these are only configuration files that the GPSD daemon will look to for operational guidance. It can read it no matter what.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
It does make sense to my left brain, and my right one just like the placebo effect :

#before

Ics 0.3.10 : systematic reboot of the phone between 1 and 45 sec (1 most of the time) after launching Google Navigation. Maps would live a little bit more, but will crash the phone too. Note that the Google map used by c:geo (geocaching app) will live very well without any crash... Can't understand why :confused:

#after

-> without fixing perm

Google Navigation crashed (but not the phone) 2 of the 3 times I tried. The third one, I got a 10min drive without any problems.

=> after restoring perms of the original

NOT A CRASH AT ALL :D

Anyway BIG THANKS !!!

Now I can have ICS and a fully operational Nav on my HTC Desire Bravo *\o/*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Very strange in my mind based on personal Linux experiences. This might be a new issue with ICS. I cannot recreate and have not heard of this issue on Froyo or Gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
Never had a prob under Froyo or Gingerbread with Google Nav, and I've been on it since 08/2010 with Leedroid's roms until the HD port...

This was very new to me with these first ICS rom I tried (ICS 0.3.9/10 and 0.4.0RC).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
For some reason I think Leeroid included all or part of this patch. But that may have been for other devices only.

Anyway, you're up and rolling with ICS and the patch so all is well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
I have to test more.

Now on ICS 0.4.0RC5 which includes your patch, I tried not to change anything to perms, and well... had some crashes or reboots on maps and google nav, but not so quickly...

Not really easy to perform real tests as I won't drive the same 10km 20 times in a day to get the same conditions :p

Will keep on like that one or two days before trying to change anything and again have some days to confirm or infirm the effect ;)

On Lee's roms, gps.conf was just like that :

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

when on ICS before applying your patch there was :

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

:confused: not a big difference... america would be better when I'm in europe ?? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
I would not recommend using NTP.ORG at all. It is not designed for cellular networks for sending NTP packets.

If you are having some issues still with v3.1 and slow locks, send me a private message. You can test my new variant that should be posted in March.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kusuriurikun:
Also using ILWT CM7 (and, of note, am one of the folks who've submitted GPS tweaks and kinks for optimising this particular CM7 variant) and can also confirm that this particular patch works very well with ILWT CM7.

Of particular note, this is the first tweak where it seems that the ROM's GPS functionality is properly getting ephemerides data without explicitly pushing AGPS (it does work otherwise, this is a technical thing, but it does improve time to first lock). u-center reports that it's pretty much now working exactly as stock, which is pretty much what I've been trying to do with the various GPS massages and changes.

(Of note here--ILWT CM7's GPS setup (at least if the option in ilwt.txt for the HTC drivers is chosen) is much closer to stock than to CM7; as CM7's native GPS drivers for the Vision and other radios are horribly borked as far as sending proper NMEA sentences, there is an option to use the native GPS drivers and RILs. This works pretty well save for aGPS functionality, and the fact that the new gps.conf and SuplRootCert work well pretty much explicitly points to some of the CM7 gps.conf servers not being optimised. You're running optimised servers which seem to work much better with the "redneck tech" I've applied :D)

I'll be putting in a word to tsubus on this. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
Forget about that perms thing !

Previous impression must have been due to bad testing circumstances. :-P

I'm now on ICS 0.4.1.5 (HTC Desire Bravo) applying the patch without changing anything afterwards, and Gps fix doesn't seem to be a problem anymore :D

About ntp.org, it is just the way it worked for me during 18 months before applying an ics rom...

Thanks again !!

Official support & Thread updated

Just a friendly notice that the thread has been updated.

There is a new build which I recommend. Before questioning or inquiring why I removed the use of SSL, review the NOTE on the matter. This has proven to be a faster operation by tests in various regions and numerous devices. ;)

Lastly, I added a section for asking questions. Review that before communicating here. It gets really old seeing that people refuse to read what I've worked hard to write especially when it usually answers the questions asked.

Don't forget to consider donating if you appreciate the work and find it useful. :D

DZ "height" problem

Hi, my DZ had always locked gps quite good with stock rom and the others i've tried so no problem about gps lock (using latest radio)....but

With stock rom i had a correction height of about 26 meters and it always showed me about 0 meters at the sea.

Now i'm using miui and I have always about 50 meters error and i don't know how or where to configure it.

EDIT:

Yesterday i applied the patch editing the .CONF file like suggested here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24451977&postcount=10 (thanks to xNAPx) and today i also made ril-lib match to help (dunno why i didn't make it before !! My DZ is browsing faaaaaster) but i still have the same problem:

Gps lock is quite the same, i find always my 9 sats in a few seconds with a low error.

My problem is height treshold !

Gps status by Eclipsim still shows i am at 50 meters above sea when i go to the sea (0 metres) and at 70 metres above sea when i am at home (near the sea and at about 20 metres above) so my problem should be a fix in gps conf where i can set my zero point or something like that.

With other apps everything changes:

For example micoach shows me the real height (if i go run near the sea it shows about 0-2 metres in the graph and not 50 like gps status says)

Endomondo fails height like gps status

Sports tracker has a height treshold in settings (i still have to test, downloaded today)

So, do someone know why apps work so differently ?

P.S. I can tell the modified patch with ril-lib match is very good, even if i hadn't problems with gps lock before !! Now it looks faster and with better battery life.

Thanks !

I have a T-Mobile G2 using a 2.3 MIUI based rom, and another using a AOSP based rom. I wasted my time with both the Google Specific patches, only the T-Mobile specific patch really worked.

Have you gone through the Notes Section? Have you tested this with another ROM?

You may also try: Go to Settings -> Locations. Disable ALL of them. Reboot. Go back to Locations and enable only GPS. Reboot. Try positioning again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crypted:
Try: Go to Settings -> Locations. Disable ALL of them. Reboot. Go back to Locations and enable only GPS. Reboot. Try positioning again.

It sounds like your GPS positioning isn't fully working and so you're getting a generic altitude based on location from internet location determination.

Also, your quoted .CONF was long since proven less stable as mine AND all that post is showing me is the ORIGINAL .CONF as it was intended to be about three years ago.
