A bit OT:

For those who want to test an LP AOSP ROM with SaberMOD toolchain, I found this one: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-hazy-rom-alpha2-i9100-unofficial-t3025555

Did not test it yet because I still need xposed ;)

GPS issues since updating, not the usual culprit

I've got a really weird and infuriating (because I can't work it out) GPS problem since updating to SlimSaber KitKat (from SlimSaber Reborn/JB).

Basically, GPS works ok (not amazing, but OK) outside and works fine inside e.g. at my house, at the mall, etc. HOWEVER, for some reason, at my work office, it doesn't work, it think I'm about a block or two away.

I've tried all the usual fixes/tricks, e.g. editing gps.conf etc. No luck.

It used to work inside my office building just perfectly when I was on SlimSaber JB/Reborn, but for some reason now it doesn't.

Is it possible for me to copy over the gps drivers from SS Reborn into SS Kitkat? Would that work? Or perhaps if I try flashing a new kernel (e.g. dorimanx) it'll work?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
try running [MENTION=3371882]tsukeh[/MENTION]'s static gps navigation patch

read how tos here and make sure you read a couple of pages after that

basically it patches our gps module..

also afair gps module drivers for our device is exactly the same from the stock rom ( JB ) era until latest ssk, so changing gps drivers with slimsaber reborn's driver wont do any good, just try what i've posted and report back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Awesome, thanks very much Twiq. That's useful to know that the GPS drivers are the same and therefore not responsible for the issue. It must be a ROM issue? The only other thing I can think of is that it's somehow kernel related (previously I was running dorimanx when I had SS JB - and that worked fine as noted above - but now on SSK I'm still on stock kernel)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DingoBat:
Also, try FasterGPS app from the play store. Sets the locale to get a faster lock.

DB
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Thanks - but I have already edited the GPS.conf file manually to set my region and get an almost instant lock - just for some weird reason, since moving from SSJB to SSK, it won't get a proper fix when I'm inside my office building (it used to work perfectly inside here).

Might sound unimportant, but I use GPS a lot while here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
not rom issue i think, but more like strict permission of location access, google divides location access to GPS only, network only, and combined.. but toggling the modes are buggy sometimes and you have to retoggle them a couple of times til the device picks up location (until google location consent prompt pops up)..

also, AGPS is pretty useless if activated but you don't have network data (not wifi access) as it cant fetch the actual agps caches..

while agps still trying to fetch data, gps waits for agps data, if it's not available for a certain of time (not sure how long), gps will continue it's business without agps, which will take longer, very long i might add :D

try using gpsfix app to help locking if you have this kind of situation, but note that you must stand under clear sky to do this
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Hmmm,

My data connection is reliable - yesterday I tried resetting + getting new agps data via "GPS status and toolbox" app. Same result: it works mostly OK outside etc, but at this one specific location (inside my Office) it doesn't lock properly, it thinks I'm about a block away (funnily enough, it puts me at the same 'wrong' location every time). It's not the building - like I said, it used to work perfectly and I just tested on my coworkers phone, and that works. So I could only imagine it's either the ROM, the kernel, or something about the way they handle the GPS that has caused this issue...

I downloaded the zip you suggested from tsukeh - read the thread but couldn't see an answer to the question: if I try flashing this and it actually makes GPS worse, what next?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Alright, I tried the fix from tsukeh that you provided - no luck, exactly the same thing :(

I'm going to re-flash SS Reborn tonight and make sure the problem is gone in that, before going further.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
you could flash tsukeh's script again to revert to original state..

i think you'll find the same problem when using kitkat roms, but you might have better luck flashing reborn as JB aosp roms is not affected by google's location policies commits yet..

anyway, google's location policy is a dual edged knife, one side it improves security, on the other hand it hurts GPS performance ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Oh wow, so that sounds like it might be what's causing the difference then? So the GPS drivers between JB and KK are the same, but GPS functions differently due to...Google permissions or something?

Is there anything that can be done to improve it on KK? Because if what you're saying is true, then it sounds like this might be exactly what is causing my problem here....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LiL_Assassin:
This is for both of you, and this is really really far-fetched, but isn't there apps that revoke permissions? And you could just revoke Google's on the gps?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
At this point it's infuriating me why it won't work any longer at this one particular location...so any suggestions are welcome. But I think it must be a very specific problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
wouldn't that be denying all access to location services, resulting no app could get location? it's the reverse of lations goal :D

and also it's not package specific, but the location access policies are built into the framework..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LiL_Assassin:
Yeah fair enough, I just thought you might be able to remove one permission that's causing it. Did say it was far-fetched.

OK, I've done some testing and have interesting results to report.

As mentioned before, since coming to KK, I'm having GPS issues indoors (and perhaps overall slightly worse performance outdoors too). I've tried all the tweaks/fixes, nothing works.

I tried JB today, and as I expected, it works perfectly indoors at the same location.

I've narrowed down the problem to the use of WiFi to help determine location. I don't know why, but there seems to be some difference in the way JB handles non-GPS location detection (specifically WiFi) vs KitKat. I can't get a GPS lock inside my office, on either version of Android, so it relies on network/WiFi to determine location. In JB this works fine and gives me accurate location, but on KitKat, seemingly it won't use the wifi , even when I've told it to use WiFi too. This results in KitKat trying to determine my indoor location purely from network location, which fails.

To reiterate: in either version of Android (JB or KK) I can't get a lock indoors with GPS, or at least not at my office, which is where I'm testing. So both versions rely on network+wifi to detect location. In JB this works perfectly - accurate location detection almost instantly. In KK however, it seemingly ignores the wifi, and tries to use just network (celltower) location, which fails and puts me about 2 blocks away. My testing methodology was: In JB, which like I said normally worked perfectly, I turned off wifi (wifi itself, not the setting to use wifi in location) and it failed to accurate locate me - it thought i was about 2 blocks away, at a very precise location (which I assume is where the celltowers think I am). This location is exactly the same location that KitKat wrongly puts me at - so it more or less proves that in KitKat, it's trying to rely simply on network (celltower) location and ignoring wifi.

Does anybody have info about why this is happening? Could it be a ROM issue? What is the possible solution, if any??

I think this is something worth looking into, no?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
wait, which location mode are you using on kitkat?

there are 3 of them..

i'm not denying that gps performance sucks on kitkat, but at least on my end gps works fine and accurately with highest accuracy mode (3 icons on)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
I'm using (was using) high accuracy too - in fact I tried all 3 variations of the settings, but they all gave me the same result: when indoors, it placed me about 2 blocks away and fails to achieve a proper fix- the same location that JB places me at when I turn off WiFi and turn off the 'use gps' setting. In other words, it's as if when indoors, KitKat is trying to rely on network celltower usage only, even when I tell it to use the WiFi too.

I really don't get it - what could cause such an issue between JB and KK? Something to do with AGPS maybe? I really don't know...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
other than what i've said in previous posts, i have no idea..

do you use gps tools? some tools allows you to update agps data ondemand, it might help you while using network location.. i'm not pretty sure how wifi could help gps accuracy, just try using gps/network/gps+network combination

indirectly rom related: sticking to stock kernel is a good idea.

tried dori v008 for a week and have had numerous freezes and reboots. with different dori profiles.

so at least for me, if you want this rom to really be stable, stick to stock :)

weird by the way how active this thread still is given that developement seems to have stopped :)

Hello,

It seems i cannot add a custom dictionary for spell-checking in Greek. Spell checking in English works just fine for the AOSP Keyboard.

I also could not find an option to install a dictionary in the SlimSaber 20141221 ROM.

All i found around XDA and the net was this .gz dictionary in greek :

https://github.com/SlimRoms/package...aw/kk4.4/dictionaries/el_wordlist.combined.gz

but it is a .gz file and i don't know atm how to use it. I know that if it was a .dict file i could place it inside data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/ folder and maybe it worked.

Thank you for your help in advance.

A .gz file is a compressed file. Try to open it with Linux. If you don't use Linux, search for an unpacker, who can open .gz file.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] felix_w:
I did not have Linux system available atm, so i unpacked it with 7-zip and the 9.37MB file inside it, opened with an editor starts as follows :

word=από,f=204,flags=,originalFreq=204

It seems like sort of a dictionary, but is this somehow usable ?

Further investigating my GPS issues

So I installed another ROM - Cyanogen 11 Sabermod (by Linaro?). In other words, a KitKat ROM - and yes, same result, exactly same GPS issues.

So clearly there's some difference in the way KitKat handles GPS compared to JB - and it's WORSE.

Does anybody have any suggestions where to go from here? It looks like I'll be forced to go back to JB, but I really wish I could stay on KitKat if it wasn't for the GPS problem... :(

Hello. It could be a bad flash, or something went wrong. That's happens sometimes:)

Try once again, from the beginning.

Hi everyone. Recently installed this ROM and I am very pleased with its screen on battery life. But when phone is not used, battery is discharging little too fast - about 2% per hour. I had almost 20% lost during last night while I was sleeping (8 hours), phone was on 3g, no suspicious wakelocks, 95% or similar deep sleep... Is it normal for this ROM for others? Of course, question is not for those that turns on airplane mode before sleeping. ;)

"wake on notification" + "screen off" notification shortcut cause phone to hang

I've just started using SlimSaber, and I must say it's a great ROM. However there is one flaw:

I have added several shortcuts to the notifications drawer, one of them is "Screen off". If I enable "Lockscreen notifications" and "Wake on notification", then using this "Screen off" shortcut causes the phone to hang (and make some sounds as if the phone keeps shutting off the screen). Once this happens, I must reboot to recovery (by shutting down the phone using the Power button and then pressing Up+Home+Power) and restore from backup - because an ordinary reboot would cause FC on the systemui about once every 2 seconds.

I would like to have something similar to Active Display, and I thought this would do that. Does anyone have a good alternative which doesn't suffer from this hanging?

You can install any widget you like. Just uninstall dashclock(in settings->slimcentre->slimsizer) and install the new one. Although I don't know why you would want to, dashclock is customizable to what you want it to do, and is simple, anyway......your choice :)

I will not use this last build because it gave me FCs and errors all the time (the process "com.google.process.gapps" were terminated or "external memory" was terminated), sorry for that.

Before updating I did a backup in CWM but after the errors mentioned above I could not restore the backup, also an older one failed because data could not be restored.

So I had to do a clean install of the last FJ build, fix permissions in TWRP (because I was on dorimax) and after that the restore of last backup worked finally but it take a lot of time so for me it is not worth flashing the last "unofficial" build again :(
