No its only a dirty workaround which make use of apple data and db files on sd card!

Its not the google network location feature! So plz remove the link in your post.

Hi friends,

Mardon, this solved the problem with GPS.....

So if this uses the copyrights from apple is not our problem...

The most important is GPS working

Thanks a lot

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Millenium3:
That solution is for Network Location.. not GPS.. they are different from each other and besides, Mardon and Smiler have already made GPS work close to properly in various Ace roms..

As for the copyright issue, i think it is okay to do personally only in your phone.. but to release a ROM with that network location "solution" may bring problems with both Apple and CyanogenMod (or any other custom rom provider)... and of course, XDA will also be involved

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Mardon:
Hmm atm no new fix.

V3 works on cm9 builds where gps is not working caused by broken lib (v3 contains working lib for cm9).

So on some cm9 you need 1st flash v3 and then v4.

Or should i merge them for newer cm9 builds as a v3&4 combo build?

Gesendet von meinem GT-S5830 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Pank789:
combo would be great mardon but does v3 resolves the problem of accuracy? like the location reports 2500 away from where ur cell i present... disabling intermediate position and reboot also reports same location..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Mardon:
Disable intermediate position should solve this.

V3 patch is for cm9 roms with broken gps lib only.

Hi Mardon im using ur (latest update of Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 'Jellaxy' [05.10.2012] )rom..

At first the gps in my device was not working...

Then after searching.... i found there's a bug so after applying the india patch from this post..

Gps is working.. But its not accurate... The accuracy is about 99900 meters bro..

i hve even attached the screenshot wat i get.. actually my location in the starred place in the map...

i hve checked the build.prop file and the two lines u told to add is already exist...

i hve edited " INTERMEDIATE_POS=0 "

Pls to tell me how to solve this issue bro...:(

Thanks in advace....

Apart for this the rom is really cool n mind blowing...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Millenium3:
Check the few last pages with posts about intermediate position or people saying "help my GPS accuracy is 9990m!!"... Mardon has answered so kindly to each of those million posts even though the answer was the same for all..

In internal storage in /etc find the gps.conf file (after flashing the patch) then locate where says intermediate position report and change the 1 (enabled) to 0 (disabled)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] SMillerNL:
What option did you choose? With or without intermediate position?

King of the mashed potatoes©
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] M@zik:
WITHOUT Intermediate should i try with i.e should i check tht ??

Also the application was showing this

The ISO code location specified by your phone is :

en

which is actually "in" for India.

so I put India in the country box.

Now, checked the intermediate support.

rebooting

Now again the same location

Hi.

Sooo... one (maybe stupid) question - what is the app for? Can i just run the app, or do I have to also flash V4?

I'm running CM10.1 RC4, with fly-on mod.

Tnx!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] SMillerNL:
It is an app that shows the status for your GPS. as the name suggests.

And you can use my app (featured in the GPS fix-thread) to make it fix faster.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Mardon:
If you mean the gps app by SmillerNL you need the patch first otherwise the certificates for agps are missing.

App is for selecting Country and disabling intermediate position support after flashing the fix

Help,

[MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION]

I have flashed GPS fix version 4 which preconfigured for india.

Will these patches also work in maclaw's cm10.1_cooper.maclaw.20130908

The thing is when i test GPS it is able receive signal from different satellite but it does not lock the location.

what should i do. Know any work around ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] SMillerNL:
They might, but they probably won't. This patch overwrites system files, if it doesn't put the exact same files back as it removed. You might end up with a softbrick.

And how did you test what satellite it received connection from?

Also, one satellite will not provide a lock. You need 3 for that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Mardon:
Cm10.1 needs newer unreleased v5 patch. I think ill make it available in the next few days. Or grab the needed files yourself from the github link i posted.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] er.davinder:
I was getting signal from at least six satellites but it was not locking.

But after flashing Mardon v4 patch on maclaws cm10.1

Now the phone is able to lock a location in about 10-25 sec if the phone is kept in the open air.

Next time i'm gooing to flash Mardon's modded cm 10.1 to cut the crap.

the thing is galaxy ace internal memory is very limited so i deleted a lot of system apps and integrate update a lot of essential apps. It takes so much of time.

In short i wasted my Sunday in configuring the device. now i am going to use it as it is.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] SMillerNL:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Mardon:
Its a worldwide patch this time.

If you wanna make an updated app i think it should be a new app entry in store then to keep old patches and app for cm9 users available.

You only need a switch for intermediate positioning support on and off in it for V5 patch, it supports cm10 - 10.2, default intermediate setting is on (works on most roms but if someone has problems he can easy switch it off then)

RELEASE

WARNINGS:

This app will replace your entire gps.conf, so if you made manual changes back them up first.

this is only confirmed working on maclaw's CM9 Beta 9/10 if you try this with anything else it probably won't go over well.

this is only a beta, so in case your country doesn't seem to work, try another name. or look at http://pool.ntp.orgfor the names that I used

I can tell you testers, I hate Java.

but after some time, I have result to show you.

The app will be in the play store soon. This'll give me a better chance of giving you updates.

Anyway, enjoy.

EDIT:

Your GPSfix App should do the job on CM10 since gps is working on MaclawStudios CM10 i read in threads.

Additionally add the 2 lines to build.prop for enabling agps in CM10.

It does only partially replace the zip. The difference is that with the app it doesn't matter what zip you choose.

Chile is probably the best choice. Although I'm not really that good geographically. So choose whatever country is closest.
