[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CRom11:
Here I go again.. Not sure how is it possible you guys are getting results like that with #5.. I don't get anything like that even close.. Took 14min to initially find some satellites, eventually found 11, but wasn't able to lock onto more than 4 and the accuracy didn't go better that 32m.. So far best results with #1 which I posted earlier in this thread, need to check #2 again as I didn't record the track only visual comparison with my Desire HD and it looked pretty good, #3 wasn't great either.. Will upload pic later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Very odd! What's the ROM you are using?

I'm at a similar point, but I corrupted the GPS cache partition. Unfortunately, I cannot find an all-partition wiping tool to totally reset this thing. I was soooo close and pushed some issues too far. Oh well. If anyone knows of a tool like Supewipe for other devices, I'd appreciate the heads up. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1573016 if anyone wants to help me determine a way to reset the cache partitions for GPS...not general cache or davik.

Anyway this makes me think that we could all use cache clearing to entirely reset and use the better supplied data... This has been necessary on a number of devices especially with custom ROM usage. However, nothing is present here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
I'm back online and testing! Woohoo. Apparently, flashing the official blob for the latest firmware wiped the EFS partitions. I figured it might do that. :D

Consequently, ASUS must like my work. They added a gps.conf which still isn't the best. I'll add the pertinent parts worth keeping for a Build #6 soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
After the .21 firmware a gps.conf file appeared. I had removed the test one before the update to make sure everything went correctly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Correct, but it is not entirely aligned for the best. I'll have Build #6 online which will become v1.0 if no objections occur.

EDIT: I'll have it up in like 10 - 20 mins.

v1.0 RC

Wow record time. I like to work with a lot of extra time to post based on a promise... :D

V1.0RC (Test #6) -and- also available at top of the thread.

This has the only worthy part of the gps.conf provided by ASUS in their latest firmware.

Also, it has my proven success XML modification in place.

Yay for GPS!

Wow fcken awesome! Thank you for all your hard work Crypted!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CRom11:
You really are quick :-)

I'm on WSG Beta w0.0.3, rooted and unlocked.. will test the new version tomorrow.

Once again, great work!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
I just tested #6. I realized the the "clear spot" in my back yard is almost directly under the powerline that leads to my house so I switched to the front yard.

Edit: I am rooted, locked and running stock on .21 firmware. Serial is C30

I could get up to 11 Sats without wifi but I would never get a lock....

For contrast. My Galaxy Nexus got a lock with wifi in my living room. I put it in airplane mode and restarted the phone and fire up GPS test. I got a lock before I walked out of my front door.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Which ROM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
Same here....got sats but no lock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Odd. Maybe once the custom ROM's get a taste of the new firmware...?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smoothone:
I flashed the stock 21 today and flashed test 5 after. Getting up to 15 sats easily and 9 to 11 locks outdoors. I am going for a drive and will report back but that 21 update seems to really like your patch!

FYI, I am also liking the update. The rom feels overall snappier and everything is just fluid.

The latest .21 firmware? It's amazing on it.

Has anyone tried test 6 with virtuous .21?....I'm nervous about trying cause I had no luck with .15....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Do a backup and try...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
Sweet works good this time....I does seem to like the update well
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm on the latest .21 update.

so if I'm rooted on stock rom, locked, and have root explorer, all I have to do is download one of the latest builds for Prime and insert it into directory listed above? no deleting or changing anything else already in that directory by default/stock?

I have to insert something in this path also or this for something else?

I've never gotten a lock indoors as that's the only time I ever briefly tested my GPS. so I'd love to test this out.

would adding these files cause future updates to fail?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
In the middle of my house!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smoothone:
I'm going to try to make this a simple as possible.

1: Download the zip file and in Root Explorer go to the zip you downloaded and long press and extract all of the files. Go to your extracted directory and you will see the folders they were extracted to. Those are the same folders that are in /system/ where you will be copying the files to.

gps.conf and SuplRootCert go into /system/etc

gpsconfig.xml goes into /system/etc/gps

2: Go to the folders you will be copying the files to in /system/etc and add a .bak to the end of the originals so you can change them back if you want to do another ota update.

3: Copy the files to their prospective folders and change permissions. If you are not sure what permissions you need to change them to then just long press any other file that's there and check its permissions. Change you new files to the same permissions.

4: Reboot and profit!

You do not have have to be unlocked to do this so anyone that's rooted can profit from this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
What's the consensus? it appears that most are happy with RC release?

I suggest pushing ROM developers to incorporate this and to create this thread as a sticky.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
Well I have one issue I just came across....with "GPS status" I can get a lock but I can't with "GPS test".....not sure what's up with that...anyone else have the same problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
okay but real world results?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
The patch helps. I get 5-6 sat locks by my computer room window, locks persists ~3 mins, then it kicks out and then relocks in a 2-3 second range. Will take the tab with me to Walmart later and see how it works outdoors/driving.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
Sorry bro I haven't tested it yet....not a good day for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ElCamino:
So for now we should download version 5 for best results? Just picked up the TP a week ago and updated to .21 and waiting for root to be available with .21 so I can try this. I am on the road up to 3 hours throughout the day and always use my tablets to check traffic conditions. And on the TP, lets just say it has been a challenge. I also occasionally use it for navigation as well, and would like to use the TP. Great work!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
You can try whichever ones you want and case install any other afterward by overwriting the files... I'm toying with the 1.0RC which was Test #6.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ElCamino:
Ok thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Okay everyone. What's the final consensus on 1.0RC?

Helps or doesn't help? Worth more work? What needs worked on? etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
I wish I could weigh in here, but using jermaine151's rom I cant get it to even see any satellites, let alone get a lock. I am going to try primalicious as I had very good luck with the gps when it was icylicious. Will let ya know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Primalicious has a chunk of my work baked into it already and works wonderfully. You can flash the rest or stick with it as is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kman79:
New to the Prime. Prime is still locked and unrooted, can I still use the ADB Push Installer to install this mod? If so, is RC1 included in the ADB Push Installer download?

Connected TP and it does show up as an ADB device
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmbatson:
Same with him , Im still stock Unlocked and ROOTED. Can i just ADB it and hope the gps works?

on a note gps did work like 2 updates ago before .21 and now no locks...

>:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
I do not have the Prime in the pusher script. That is only for stable supported devices. Once I'm confident of a 1.0 official, I will move to update or create separate scripts for adb pushing.

You could take the script and replace the script gps.conf and other data with that for the RC or a test build and push that way.

You should be able to flash the builds using CWR if you use the alternative bootloader. Otherwise, you can use the copy/paste method without hindrance since you have root.

It's a a lot of work to offer various install methods and I don't want to jump the gun and waste time until we're truly good to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kman79:
Understood, I appreciate the response.

Unlike the other poster, mine came in today with the .21 firmware, so I'm stuck without root until you great developers, hopefully, find a way around it :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Roger that. If you take the unlocking plunge, give it a try! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neothunder:
It works, and not only in the backyard!

I've flashed Virtuous ROM .21 last week, have installed patch V.5 (6 doesn't work at all by me), and voilà !

I only need to have a really recent agps update, (2h old, and I'm blind) and I can use sat navigation on the motorway as well as in the streets of Paris.

gps dongle

GPS dongle is being released April 16 by asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
This isn't news to me. The point of it won't be to add the needed software additions, though. It will be a hardware piece what can only be assumed as an external GPS unit or a secondary GPS support system with stronger antennas?...

I tried to request these additions for the 4 units that I own. No go thus far. India says they have no word on the dongles or the process and to call back in a week or two.

Alas, the Dongle is neither here nor there. I'm navigating the streets with my patch just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] houtx2:
Thanks, I will test it out later today. BTW, I had to add the .zip to the end of the download.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
Thanks for the patch, Crypted. I haven't had the opportunity to test it extensively, but your settings are surely better than Asus' setting my US tablet to a Europe NTP server!

Edit: Or, would GPS Test's Clear AGPS and Update AGPS have possibly done that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Gracias for the info. I thought I tested the download link, but I was wrong. :D

Fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
I'm sorry for being ignorant. Just being careful. I got one of the few primes with fully working gps and insanely strong wifi. Unfortunately, it's got .21 so no root yet, which is why I will adb this.

Does the latest adb with versions 3.1 and 1.3 prime specific? You released 1.0 yesterday. What is it and is it better?

Again, I'm sorry for such a newbish question.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
If you have a great system, why flash the GPS patch? Assuming you have it unlocked, use your bootloader to backup the files. Then, flash it using the Install ZIP from SDCARD option in the bootloader.

I don't have the Prime in the scripts...YET. I'll get to that soon. I'll clean up the thread and remove the other versions when I can as well. Lots going on and I'm just trying to get this out there so people can have it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
Tried v1patch this morning on unlocked prime running aokp rom clear skies 2sats come and go nothing really.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
You're right I guess. Indoor in my computer room it takes about a 40 seconds for my prime to lock on. I was hoping I could get it to lock faster with this patch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
That ROM is not near a final stage in development and others have reported GPS issues internally. I can't fix ROM issues, unfortunately. Patching each ROM code individually would be a nightmare and would end up requiring me to get a divorce!

Try this patch with another ROM like Primalicious.

The patch should make it work out a lock of 16 meters within 15 seconds in a building where there isn't cement for walls or ceilings, and not another floor above you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Again, sorry for being such a newbie.

Obviously, I can only use adb. Is the first adb link what I should use? How do I use the bootloader to backup?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
There is no obviously. Do you have your device unlocked? If so, you would use CWR which is the custom recovery to do a backup and to flash the ZIP file.

I do not have an ADB zip made available as of yet containing the Prime files. That will be done in short order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Gotcha. I do not have it unlocked. Will keep it locked for now. Will patiently await your adb release.

Again, many apologies for being so newbie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Thread is updated. ADB pusher is there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] houtx2:
I tested the v1.0 and got a lot of activity, consistently 8+ satellites under open sky. I found that my tablet's case was limiting the locking, however. Once I open it up, I was able to lock much better. The one thing I did notice is the battery temperature rises. In this case it went from from 80 to 86 degrees in less than 30 minutes of usage. On one of the earlier releases, my battery got all the way up to 95 degrees in about 30 minutes. I am looking forward to testing the patch with the upcoming GPS dongle.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plutozz:
Hi, I replaced the 3 files (gps.conf, SuplRootCert, and gpsconfig.xml ) in their respective folders in my stock .21 rooted prime. Finally, I can get 8 sats locked. Before the patch in .21 I hardly can get lock.

My question, is the replaced files will be a problem for future Asus upgrade ? Cause I forgot to save or rename original 3 files replaced. Or, perhaps OP or anyone could post original stock Asus files ?

Thanks..

Holy cow. I just applied this patch. Before, I was able to see up to 12 sats and lock onto at least 6 to 9 at any one time. But it always took about 30-60 seconds to do. Now, it only took about 10-15 seconds before it started seeing sats.

I assume you have root at least? This will require root for all three methods.

Method #1 is available on the download section for Windows ADB pushing already.

Method #2 is the simplest way of just copy/pasting the files found in the ZIP files into their respective directories.

Method #3 is a flashable version for those using a custom recovery image (CWR).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hasan10:
This patch really works. I am on latest .21 with root (no unlock). Before this patch I was getting 3-4 sats in about a minute indoors (right next to a window) with 70m accuracy, and 7 sats in about 40 seconds outdoors with 30m accuracy.

After this patch, I am getting 8-12 sats in about 20-30 seconds indoors (about 2 feet from the nearest window) with 20m accuracy and 9-12 sats in about 15-20 seconds outdoors with 10m accuracy. The signal isn't the strongest, but it tends to maintain it when I am outside walking around. When I get in a car and start driving, it tends to lose the signal every few mins but gains it back.

Honestly, the performance gain from this patch is unmeasurable. You go from a non-functioning POS gps to a GPS with some dignity. Thank you so much :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CRom11:
I can confirm massive improvement too, will post later a screenshot with 11/17 and 6m accuracy :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
When using it in the car, the best way for the GPS to work properly is to let the tablet sit upright and not laying down. That way you're not losing signal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] uhmzilighase:
ROM: Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.21 v1

The device is naked with not so much as a screen protector.

GPS performance has definitely increased w/ this aGPS patch.

I can lock onto sats from inside or outside. Outside accuracy is approx. 36ft.

Sometimes it will stay locked during movement.

WIFI must be disabled for it to work.

What really boosts the signal though, is if I place my cellular phone directly on top of the Prime's antenna (approx. 1 inch in from the upper right hand corner). I believe I saw someone else post the same thing (not able to immediately find that post...). Anyone else seen this? Why does a cell phone (w/ GPS turned off) boost the signal? Cell phone GPS antenna acting as a passive antenna?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crypted:
Interesting. I'll play with that when I have time. I would suggest that it prohibits reflective signals. GPS is a fickle thing. It's signal bounces off of walls and other objects degrading your error range. I suppose that this would cut out some back-side bouncing of the signal?

Or, I guess passive antennas could work. However, all equipment I've used had GPS external antenna jacks to assist when its internal antenna wasn't good enough. If passive antennas were feasible, I would assume we'd see them marketed a lot more often rather than externals.

Hell, there would definitely be a market for passive antenna addons for many mobile devices.

i'm using creed's rom
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Androhacker:
better use MIUI Music player.... It has shake to change feature too. And about changing your Google Music (The one with Creed), you will require Root Explorer. Just go into System/App and remove (or take out) Music.apk and replace with any other music player you want. Reboot.

My preference, use MIUI Music player. Search google, it is easily available. And it even shows "Music" as it's name tag (Unlike most music players like NRG which show "NRG Music Player").

Your choice ;)
