Not surprisingly, It appears you are correct. SuperSU keeps crashing, so I'm pretty sure its not rooted, despite trying it several times. I will try to find another basic root to use and try again.

Thanks for pointing it out to me. It had given all the appearances of a successful root. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Colide:
I'm fully rooted on Note3, and of course, been having various GPS problems since upgrading to KitKat.

Seems that my TopNTP is not writing to gps.conf

Can someone please post TopNTP tweaked gps.conf using Derek Gordon servers ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jh787:
Bump..

I need the same. Or if someone could tell me how to write to the partition that would be great
[Android Apps and Games] Colide:
Ok, I did find gps.conf in /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files/ and copied it to \etc.

No changes. Still it takes forever to lock, most of the time doesn't lock at all.

I'm just curious, should I change the permissions even after I copy it to \ETC ?
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
Yeah, I know I know... There is a problem on some ROM's where my app is not able to copy the generated file to /system/etc and I still haven't really figured out why. Anyway, this: /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files/ is indeed the place where the file is located after it has been generated. It can be manually copied to /system/etc with RootExplorer for example but you have to set the permissions and ownership the same as all other files in that directory. And a reboot after that is needed and even after that it might take some time (not much I believe) before the gps deamon decided to download the new ntp data from Derek's server.

How do I manually setup topntp to use addon.d scripts manually?

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

Anyone can comment on this? A useful comment I mean ?
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
All comments above, I did some modifications to how the app mounts /system rw, please test attached APK and if it works or not, please report back with your ROM and device model.

QUE?!

It should install an addon.d script automatically if you check the check-box in the settings. If that doesn't work for one or another reason, you can find the script I wrote under /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files/67-topntp.sh and copy it manually to /system/addon.d and set the permissions accordingly.

maybe [MENTION=700051]crypted[/MENTION] ?

I've removed the permission

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />

for two reasons:

a) We [MENTION=700051]crypted[/MENTION] and myself have reached our goals and the server can stay online for another decade with the donations received (Thanks a bunch everyone!)

b) Google now wants independent developers to add their house address to the play store and I don't want that. The e-mail address I use for my developer account already gets flooded with spam because of the play store publication and I certainly don't want that with my home address. I develop apps for fun and it has to stay like this!
[Android Apps and Games] ovizii:
I downloaded this new version and applied it again, all worked perfectly this time the conf file and the addon script were both created and automatically moved to the right locations.

Now all that remains to be seen is what this FQDN placeholder is all about. Makes me slightly nervous, looks like some variable was forgotten to be edited...

###edit###

Does your app qualify for inclusion in f-droid? That would be an alternative to the Google play market.
[Android Apps and Games] Colide:
It's working. Now it's updating gps.conf.

I'm using Stock ROM, rooted, on SM-N9005.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
Thanks, I'm happy to hear that. I think my app qualifies for f-droid, it is open sourced. I've tried on my phone (LG G3 and SGS3 atm) to edit that path to the certificate but I don't see any difference. I've made the app so that users can choose between pre-configured settings but that all items can also be manually edited to allow some fiddeling around. I don't get any feedback from that part of the app so I assume it is hardly used.

Thanks for your feedback! I've decided to upload last APK to the play store, it should be available within hours on the play store from now.
[Android Apps and Games] ovizii:
Well it all works great, was just wondering about the FQDN as that's clearly a placeholder and yes I saw I can edit but couldn't figure out what else to put in there :)
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
How do yo tell if the agps data has been updated on this or not? Is there any way? Thank you for the very useful mod. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
I can't tell.. but I usually use GPStest to force refresh the xtra data and hoping that works.
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
Ahh. So if I have GPS status I could do the same? Download aGPS in that app will use Derek Gordon's servers? Cool.
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
That is correct
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
Wonderful. I had this working amazingly well over the past weekend. I was getting locks inside the house, immediately. 11 sats. I flashed a kernel to try something new, wiped cache only then I couldn't get GPS locks any more. Tryin g to re-trace the steps I took to get the amazing performance. Maybe I need to just let it sit over the weekend and gather data. Dying to recreate the amazing locks I was getting.
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
One more question. Should my phone type be cdma or LTE instead of umts on Verizon? Probably silly but...
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
It'doesn't matter. I know unts is mentioned in the .conf but I've noticed my LTE phone works just as great.
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
I think i figured out my issues. Removed a file on the etc directory called GPS.config_default and now nav is instant. I'm on Verizon HTC one.
[Android Apps and Games] stoatwblr:
192.168.0.34

Crypted,

The agps server in your gps.conf translates to 192.168.0.34 - how did you derive this IP and what advantage is there in using it over 127.0.0.1?

I'm wondering about this because the address looks like what might be set by a home router, but that address is going to constantly change depending on how it's set, whilst the loopback address should remain stable.

On my own 'droids, I only see 192.168.178.* addresses (by virtue of wifi being provided by FritzBox DSL routers)

I'm not criticising, just wanting to understand the reasoning behind choosing the IP address you did and if it works reasrdless of the network the android system is attached to.

Keep up the good work :)

[Android Apps and Games] msiddiqu:
hi there, I have tried everything and the GPS still didn't lock...i have tried always in open sky...never had issue with stock and before 4.4.3 kitkat....

I have just opened the phone and extended the hinges a little bit to see if that makes any difference, used pretty much all combinations from the app to make it work...nothing....I am using Xnote build 15 ND5 on canadian variant N900W8....

do I have to change any of the permissions in order to have this app replaces the contents of gps.conf?...from root browser i gave it read/write anyways...

please help what else should I try.
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
I don't know your device so if it suddenly stopped working and also this app doesn't help for you.. I can't be of assistance here.

Anyway, you shouldn't have had the need to change permissions, the app takes care of that.

This is how it should be:
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Zatta - just a small thing, but the thread's title states version. 1.0.4, you should maybe update it?
[Android Apps and Games] msiddiqu:
thanks for the screenshot, i have exact same permissions set.

does anyone have a stock gps.conf for N900T or N9005 i can use to test?
[Android Apps and Games] doromax:
Hi, my Note3 N9005 was in trouble with gps fix from the official upgrade to 4.4.2.. So about 4 months ago I rooted my phone. I'm in stock rom ENB4.

To resolve the gps issue I try to change kernel, restore the NV with dialer procedure, use many app and modify the gps.config. But none of them resolved my problem. When I try to use GPS with Sygic or google maps or other apps, to obtain the fix I must wait from 2 to 5 minutes !!! When I was lucky only 80-90 seconds, but with unstable connections. I have not LTE in my zone (italy). Today I Found your app and decide to try it.

When I reboot the phone, without downoload the A-gps file (I usually do it with gps toolbox app) I have a fix in only 7 seconds !!!

Wonderful !! The I stop the gps and retry the fix ......... only 2 seconds !!!!! Now the fix time is stable in 2 seconds !!! You are great !! I wait to try the fix also the next days to say that all is fine....

Now my question : see all of this I think that the problems are the original servers. Maybe too much android phone and overloaded networks ? Your network is best for that reason ? Or there are other problems ?

Edit : I try to check the fix time inside my house. Before I fix the problem I can't have a gps fix inside my house. Now I have a gpsfix in 2 secons, but I see that there isn't connectins with satellites . GPS see about 23 satellites gut not connect with anyone inside my house.

How is this possible ?
[Android Apps and Games] Sneakyghost:
[MENTION=3366694]Zatta[/MENTION] just so you know i am still around and available if your App needs a translation update. Refraining from contacting you privately. Just noticed the italian update recently so i wanted to say i am still alive and kicking and if this app (which still works a treat on the HTC One M8 with Android 444) needs a translation update to German - just hit me up.

Peace.

Edit: I should have read the changelog *Palm Smack*
[Android Apps and Games] Iriez:
I am posting in this thread because I believe the combined intelligence of the GPS savvy users may help me.

Ever since upgrading my G900p and girlfriends G900T galaxy S5's to CM12 based lollipop rom's we have non functional gps. a-gps, GPS status do not get a fix on any sat's. I tried installing TopNTP and using derricks servers as well as the north america servers (I am in california) but nothing fixes the issue.

GPS just does not work. If i restore my kitkat 4.4 rom gps works.

I've found one other user with the same exact problem, but other than that others seem to be having no issues. Im going crazy wondering why this does not work! These were clean installs to lollipop, so no dirty flashes. Been trying to tackle this problem for weeks with no one from the community offering any help or advice.

Best regards

:(
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
If it is that bad I don't think a simple tweak like this one will help. It can improve a (a)gps, not fix a non functioning one. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Ashyford:
I vaguely recall reading in an old gps fix thread by the OP over a year ago to check build prop for: ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 1. If this line was not there, the user was supposed to make a backup of the build prop file and then edit the file to include the line.

I suspect the build prop file has changed substantively since then though I remember using the advice above under Ice Cream, Jellybean, and Kit Kat.

I'm not suggesting it is the build prop issue described above, but could it be a general build prop issue this time around for the Lollipop ROM you are using?

sent from xda app
[Android Apps and Games] Iriez:
Just tried adding that line (didnt exist) and no results.

EDIT - Saw that the official OTA for my sprint s5 was released within the past 48 hours. Upgraded to deoxed stock and now GPS is fixed :)

Trying this on a OnePlus One running Lollipop
[Android Apps and Games] dressanderc:
I gave this a go on a OnePlus One running CM12S. I'm not entirely sure what is going on. It pulls a latitude/longitude, that when google searched, puts me exactly where I am, yet the GPS status app cannot get any "lock" on a satellite when 20+ are visible.
[Android Apps and Games] deathbytalkshow:
Does Derek Gordon's server work anymore? I had a CM 12 based ROM on my G2 (D801) and using the default patch from TopNTP and it was working great. Up until a few days ago, Ingress or any other app that would initiate GPS would cause my phone to reboot. I tried everything from different options like choosing T-Mobile or LG but results were the same.

I switched to CloudyG2 3.3, the GPS isn't great. Using the default Global/Generic/Derek Gordon/Google options doesn't cause a reboot, GPS just doesn't connect to any Satts at all.

import google calendar events

i think it would be I very useful feauture if one could import events from google calendar and choose for which you want you want a countdown to start
[Android Apps and Games] longdarc2:
Great app

This app surprised me. I wasn't looking for it but it is a very useful app, one of the few that make me say why didn't I already have this.

I would suggest a notification that only occurs before a set time of the event starting.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Thanks! glad you guys like. Yeah the notification prior to an event is planned. Will see about importing from Google Calendar too.
[Android Apps and Games] Ciphersbak:

[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So for a reminder prior to events does everyone prefer just some default values like 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hr, etc or input your own values?
[Android Apps and Games] xzabre:
Most logical feature would be a widget, wouldn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yeah, definitely. I'm going to see what I can get done today. My gf has my phone in Jersey though currently so I'm forced to work with the emulator (which I hate). I think the reminder shouldn't be an issue for today though.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Would anyone be willing to test if I post the apk up here in a bit?
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:

[Android Apps and Games] bangishotyou:
Thanks for another awesome app!

I just now saw this on the Portal and did a spit take when I realized you released AppGarden and Random. I was just thinking how similar Random was to AppGarden the other day and now I realize the same person made it. Awesome!

Thanks for this one! Another useful app.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yeah appgarden was one of my first apps I made...maybe #3 actually.
[Android Apps and Games] xzabre:
It seems like Swiftkey swype gestures don't work. Will be looking forward to the widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
So everyone try the reminder feature? work ok?
[Android Apps and Games] Dosentod:
would be cool if the app would have access to the google calendar in order to retrieve events :)
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Yeah, I'm going to have to look into that one.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I think that not only Google Calendar. If it could work with the phone calendar data would be good too. For example, my phone syncs with Facebook using HaxSync to get info regarding birthdays. Some birthdays I expect most than anothers (people I really care or such), so settings a Days Until would be nice.

The problem with that is that I've got almost 500 friends on Facebook (not that they are actually friends, but people I know. Anyway...). So, if you end up doing that, make something like. When you select a date, it will give you options based on your calendar info (be it Google, be it local).

I know it is a bit too much, but is something I'd like to see...

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
OK will check that out tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
Quick question - when you create an countdown within the app, does it automatically add it to the calendar or is that an option?
[Android Apps and Games] MrPhill:
Awesome App! I am very much looking forward to a widget and ability to sync with calender.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Not automatically. Select the event -> press the "option button" and select calendar. Now your phone will ask you in which calender you want the event to be.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
Purchased. Useful app and so far a job well done. :)

I hope it continues to get developed.
[Android Apps and Games] JimmyN:
Suggestions....

Just seen this in the portal, downloaded looks very promising, a couple of suggestions

1. Rather than just displaying an event in the history section can you invoke what you have in the upcoming list i.e a count up/days since the event

2. In addition to displaying days,hours,minutes,seconds could you extend this to show weeks,months,years ?, An event that is 243 days away from today could be put into another context when viewed as 7 months 4 weeks 1 day .... etc

3. Themes, categories/colors for events

4. Please allow for certain fields to be left blank i.e Summary field

5. +1 for widgets and Google Calender integration

You have to be congratulated for the interface to this app, simple, effective and beautiful.
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I've started working on the widget. Won't lie I suck at this sort of thing lol. Plus this is the first time I've ever messed with widgets
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Updated with "upcoming" widget which will show latest upcoming event. More widgets on the way. Please test and let me know if it works ok
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
Oh I should mention the widget will update under the following conditions:

1) Every 30 minutes

2) Every time you create/edit an event

3) Every time you delete an event

4) On reboot (obviously)

5) Whenever an event is up

So basically you are covered :P
[Android Apps and Games] plbelanger:
I've added a calendar icon in the main screen
