do we need root before flashing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flex3269:
Hey braway i noticed that the note is alittle different when it comes to the usb mount. When i plug in the note to the pc it comes up with this "MTP" option in the pulldown instead of the usual usb file transfer setting. We actually have to go into settings and under wireless/networks there is a usb utilities where we then hit a button that says "connect storage to pc" and that then allows us to mount the sd card. I know you dont have a note so i didnt know if this might help alittle. Thank you also for all that you have done, we all greatly appreciate it.;)

I assume the "CWM" version is for flashing via CWM? Anything special need to be done because were flashing Clockwork Mod from Clockwork Mod? Or does it run from RAM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
If you already have CWR on your phone YES, you can update using the CWM flashable zip. If you have yet to put recovery on your phone you need to flash it using Odin. Then going forward to update you can use the CWM versions.

Is that what you were asking?

Haven't seen any reports of this, but i still can't boot into recovery from from manager. I suspect I must have done something wrong since it seems to be working for so many.

I am rooted. (Super user installed as well as TB and both working.) I have rom manager installed but if I select "reboot to recovery" it never comes back up. I ended up re-shing in Odin to get it back functional. But it WILL allow me to select "update from sdcard" and it will run that, or run a backup.

What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
ROM manager is NOT needed to get into Recovery 9 times out of 10 it takes you to the wrong one. Nothing is wrong. Just don't use ROM manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KLLSWITCH:
don't use rom manager use something else like switch pro widget

I have a comment on you braway- being stuck on the usb mount issue.

I am not a techie so please bear with me.:o

I came from iOS 2 years ago. When I got my first android device it took someone to hit me over the head with a hammer to "get" that in order for my computer to see the storage on the android device I had to pull down notifications and "mount" the whatever I wanted to see on the computer. That was totally foreign to me. I expected to plug it in and just see it. Welcome to android!:p

So thru the 5 or so android devices I have had, that held true.

Now the Note is different with me. I plug in the usb cable, and it's just there with all the other drives on my computer. Nothing to mount, click, or touch on the notifications area on the phone. It is just there when I plug in and open the my computer icon.

Is this normal, and if it is, why do you have to find a way to mount the usb when it mounts itself?

Sorry if this is a stupid, basic concept I am not getting.

By the way, thanks for the bigger fonts! Will update now!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redneck.nerd:
I will try to answer that with my limited knowledge of Android. I believe that that particular feature is enabled so that it is more user friendly. The average Android user is not going to want to have to enable the mount of the internal/external sd cards. They want a plug and play option. I personally prefer having to mount it manually. But that's just MHO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I had the same issue, I went to settings, application, then development. I unchecked the box in the USB debugging then I exited. I went back to the USB debugging. I rechecked it and then I could see the sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] O_G:
Thread Cleaned​

I have cleaned the last few pages, i would like to remind everybody this is a development thread, it is not for discussion on whining about features. If you have nothing to input to the development then do not post! Remember the developers put a lot of time into there work, the last thing they want is moaning users, just appreciate the good work they do!

Also, moderators put there time in for free to try to help keep this fantastic forum up and running, without us the site would become a mess of flame wars and duff posts, so insulting one of us really is letting the side down. If anybody has a issue with a moderators decision, please contact one of the moderation team by PM (you do not have to contact the mod you have a issue with) I guarantee the issue will be dealt with professionally.​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] powdered_donuts:
The Note uses MTP while it is booted up to connect to your pc, this is different than older samsung devices. You will no longer need to mount the usb storage as you used to, although the options are still there in the settings menu.

What Braway is speaking of is mounting the sd cards while still in CWM recovery to eliminate the need to reboot the phone to transfer files to/from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Very handy feature indeed.

I was never able to get a consistent GPS lock in any Rom until I used this fix on CM7. Now I get a lock every time and it stays locked. So it definitely works for me.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Was using the "borked one" or the original YAGF2?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Dougfresh:
The question also should be if the device goes to proper deep sleep.

Dan is the borked DL better due to it having more files or is it the opposite?Thanks
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
The borked one will only insert one config file rather than a bunch of other files too, and this poll will help me to determine if, when people have this one config file, it improves their GPS and should be included in future CyanogenMod versions.
[Vibrant General] bigtom624:
YAGF2. The original one worked also, but not as consistent the newer fix. That one works every time for me.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
I meant was it YAGF2 or the one from my download link in the OP post (which is a modified version of it)?
[Vibrant General] bigtom624:
I'm sorry for not being more specific. What i was trying to say was that the original YAGF2 and the new one that you posted both work great on my Vibrant. I get locks consistently and it stays locked for my whole trip. The original GPS fix was hit or miss for me. Sorry for the confusion. I hope this helps.

[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
Will this work for AOKP, or should I stick with what I'm running since I get locks, but it's spotty (will jump from 20' to 30yds and back again) and deep sleep seems to kill it until reboot. I think it is Yagsf2, though...

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Probably will work for AOKP. But it's only a subset of YAGF2 though, it's just one file from YAGF2 instead of all them.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
My locks are better but I'm getting the same results as Droidificator stated above. Spotty locks and deep sleep does appear to kill it...
[Vibrant General] eksasol:
Without the fix GPS doesn't work at all, with it I can get fix outdoor and sometimes less precise or not at all if its very cloudy or raining. Certainly is necessary.

So far the Galaxy Note has the fastest location fix out of any phones I've used.

GPS Testing Indoors On A Cloudy Day Without Wifi Enabled On CM7 Nightly Build 236

STOCK Build 236

13 Satellites visible, but no lock

STOCK Build 236 + borked-yagf2

14 Satellite visible, top 2 satellites up to 22db turn on and off, but no lock

STOCK Build 236 + yagf2

13 Satellites visible, locked in 10 secs and locked up to 9 satellites down to 7m accuracy. GPS would lock 9 satellites after about 2 minutes coming out of deep sleep but would average only 30-40m accuracy.

STOCK Build 236 + CM7_VIBRANT_20111204_NEO_XX.1_VC-led-notif kernel + yagf2

14 Satellites Visible, locked in 10 secs and locked up to 9 satellites down to 6m accuracy. GPS would lock up to 9 satellites after only 30 seconds coming out of deep sleep and it even got the same 6m accuracy as before deep sleep!

I also tried Glitch v13.1 and CM7_VIBRANT_20111203_NEO_18_VC-led-notif_didle kernel with Build 236 and they both locked between 6-7m accuracy but they couldn't initialize GPS after deep sleep. The conclusion to my GPS testing is if GPS lock accuracy is important to you and you need it to work quickly and accurately after deep sleep use Build 236 + CM7_VIBRANT_20111204_NEO_XX.1_VC-led-notif + yagf2. If you don't mind a a slower first lock and less accuracy after deep sleep you can use the stock kernel on Build 236 + yagf2. Could someone else please test out STOCK Build 236 + CM7_VIBRANT_20111204_NEO_XX.1_VC-led-notif + yagf2 and see if you get the same results I do. Thank you FaultException for being the Vibrant CM7/9 man!
[Vibrant General] ziondreams:
Same here. Worked great after boot, nothing after deep sleep. Flashing a second time worked but I am sure only until the next deep sleep.

:( How can GPS be so hard to fix on this phone?! I have had issues from day 1. Boo...really appreciate all the hard work from you devs though!!
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
You have to reflash for it to work after deep-sleep? What about just a reboot?
[Vibrant General] ziondreams:
Hmm, good call. I hadn't tried rebooting. Just tried again after deep sleep, no gps. Rebooted and gps was back!

But what does it mean? :)
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
GPS seems to break after deep sleep in most Vibrant kernels. Try with neo's CM7_VIBRANT_20111203_NEO_18_VC-led-notif_didle like hurtz said.
[Vibrant General] hurtz777:
Zion try CM7_VIBRANT_20111204_NEO_XX.1_VC-led-notif. It is the only CM7 kernel that GPS works on after deep sleep right now.
[Vibrant General] ginzberg:
hurtz, have you confirmed working 911 on that kernel? As far as I can tell, it was released prior to the CM7 E911 being resolved. This would make it dangerous to officially recommend.

There was a similarly working gps kernel for ICS, "Kiss 2.2". GPS would wake after sleep and behaved as you would expect. However, 911 was broken. For whatever reason, there does not exist a kernel that does both on CM7 or CM9. Also unfortunate, seems that not all the commits are sent to github, so we never really get the full picture of what was committed beyond a release to dive into what's causing the instability after deep sleep.

*** Edit ***

I apologize, I posted too hastily. Stock CM7 kernel does lock GPS after deep sleep, but as hurtz indicated, slowly ~60seconds for me with yagf2. That said, given the dangers of having non-working 911, I'd recommend users stay on stock CM7 kernel if at all possible. I will try the borked yagf2 shortly.
[Vibrant General] ginzberg:
Okay.. did some testing. Flashed back to cm7 build 236, factory reset, installed gapps (8/28/11), installed gps test (free version), connected to wifi, all tests stationary with phone propped on window sill with full line of sight on clear day.

BTW, let me know if there's anything else I should do or try. I may go back and retest the borked yagf, but my results are similar (not necessarily consistent) with hurtz's, that is, borked yagf does not yield the same performance of the original yagf2
[Vibrant General] West420:
Am I able to use this with ICS 13.1 using Icy Glitch #14 B5 kernel? If so, how should I go about flashing?
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
As far as I know, E911 is fixed. It was not a kernel problem. It was, in fact, that we provided a device-specific libaudio for Vibrant, which was broken. We're now using our common aries libaudio. Therefore, users can use any kernel they want, save GPS issues which could impair auto GPS geolocation in an E911 call.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Probably, but this was for CyanogenMod. It's a normal .zip you can use in recovery.

ginzberg, was this test "CM7 YAGF2 == Boot", using stable, or nightly #236?
[Vibrant General] ginzberg:
All tests were on nightly build #236. By the way, I did report in the poll "Works worse than before", but I think that that showcases the poll may not be giving you the information you need. The borked yagf2 works worse than yagf2, but both work better than stock gps on build 236... but the poll result could be perceived to imply, "Keep stock gps, it works better than this stuff." [which is clearly not the case].
[Vibrant General] Kennii:
i just tried the borked yagf and my gps works and locks. i never tried gps though be before flashing
[Vibrant General] hurtz777:
Ginzberg like FE said the E911 fix was in the libaudio and not kernel related. The problem with the common aries libaudio that was introduced after Build #182 to fix E911 has caused mute/unmute issue to come up again. Ginzberg will you please try the CM7_VIBRANT_20111204_NEO_XX.1_VC-led-notif kernel I have attached and give us your results? It should give you slightly faster locks and better accuracy and E911 should still work properly although I haven't tested.
[Vibrant General] droidfan77:
I just tried this fix and I noticed no difference. I'm using ICS Passion v13.1 - RC1.1 with the stock kernel it comes with. I can get a GPS lock in about 30 seconds when I first turn on my phone.

[Vibrant General] ioancr:
The best software fix that worked for me (well, I've tried many many of

them) is GPS Aids Free (pull out of a Jetpack ROM and then push to /system/app and set permissions). Basically, it will download two files in your root /data/gps folder (empty by default): lto2.dat and ltostatus.txt. Next, get GPS Test by Mike Lockwood (or any other GPS status that could read your updated lto data). Results (with NO OTHER files added) on ICZen 1.3 and Subzero 1.0.1 build 26 kernel I get cold locks in less than 25-30 sec and no deep sleep issue with excellent accuracy (4-5 meters outdoors).
