[MOD][UPDATE][3/Nov/2013] Country specific "GPS.config" to speed up gps fix

this is a small collections of Gps.config files collection with the latest servers and updates in them for all continents to help speed up the gps fix

how to use:

if you want the gps config for asia for example

click on the link below then click on asia and download the gps.config file and paste it into root/system/etc/ and set permission to 644 in other words rw-r-r :D using root explorer or es explorer or any root explorer for that matter, as long as u can access root files and change permissions

this is the download link from drop box with the following gps.config files

UPDATE: 03/11/2013 : V3 i have made several new changes in the code to make things smoother and way faster plus updated the servers of all regions so gps fix should be even better with new version

gps.conf v3 download

gps.conf v2 download

-Africa

-Asia

-Europe

- North America

- South America

- Oceania

-this should work on ANY android device not only the s3... please report in a comment wich device you tested it on

-personally my gps fix got waay faster after i used the asia config as i live in dubai and my devices gps.config was set the america server so it was a bit slow to lock

it took alot of time and effort to compile the files and update them.. please feel free to re-post reshare and include in any rom or app you want as long as u mention me :D and a little thanx wont hurt anyone
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] coolhof:
Thnx, please at to your Op that you have to set permission to 644.

Before some noobs going to complain that gps is not working anymore. ;)

Seems to work on omega 47 s3, i will report back if it breaks.

Thanks for the hard work!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] edvwvw:
For some reason I cannotchange permissions - the file will not let me take ownership
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] coolhof:
Try root explorer from the play store.

En make sure u set it as read-write.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Creomortis:
yeah es file explorer wouldnt let me do it despite granting super user access. I couldn't see the option to mount the root as read/write either so I ended up using root explorer.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sisqoboy:
Thx for sharing. Until this time sometimes i got position quickly but sometimes not at all.

Now i changed the file.

I saw on the site an update with uk ~ 250...

what does it mean?

how can I update?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] big88moe:
Just read the instructions on how to replace the gps.config file... u must be rooted to do so

sent from my galaxy s3 i9300 siyah kernel, philz touch recovery, 4.1.2 stock sammy
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] coolhof:
I use it now for a few weeks and most say that it really works.

Finding the satellites very fast.

I see the difference with before.

So again thanks.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sisqoboy:
I've done it but when i downloaded the gps.conf file there was an update.txt with uk ""bla bla bla " 250. what do i need to do with this update?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] big88moe:
No need to do anuthing with the update.txt just delete it.... i already removed it from dropbox so ot dosent confuse anyone

All u have to do is copy the gps.config and replace the old one and make sure u fix the permissions and ur done

Mine works for a few times and after that it doesn't find any satellite at all...

I need to restart the phone to get satellite...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ys222:
I assume that this problem is common to all and it is still amazing that I haven't found any solution other then using 3rd party UI

The problem in simple words is happens when you long press the screen accidentally, then the object is widget is been remove or shift to other screen.

in Luncher Nova UI, this problem can be solve easily by locking the application after done editing

does anyone have any idea how can it be done in Samsung to Goggle original UI ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Can't... Have to install a non stock Launcher like Apex, Nova, etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I've noticed that if I play video at the lowest possible volume I will hear white noise of some kind. Also I can hear it for a few seconds after I pressed any nav or volume button. Even if the sound is off. The only thing that can reduce this strange behavior is disabling touch screen sound.

Device did not have any contacts with water,so what can it be?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
All my devices I had so far have this "white noise" through my headphones and a bit louder with my bluetooth MW600...It's just a phone okay :silly:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's the same thing on my Galaxy Note.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Same on my sensation xe and nexus 7
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
I also got galaxy note,but it does not have the white noise.

And it's pretty loud if you are in the sililent room.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Any device have this sh!t :)

Htc One or HTC Butterfly s
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Ha! Even my Asus laptop have this white noise through its earphone jack.

And the white noise will dissapear if I touch the metal part of the laptop... :laugh:

Ηello.You are simply the best.You managed to make 3g dualsim like other mtk6589 phones.Νοw i can have 3g data and make 3g videocalls from 2nd sim slot too.Thank you very much for this excellent work.

Is it possible please to make your magic graphic optimization from your other rom to this rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5186178:
That is already done, but may seems different because is a different framework, and because this camera and gallery have some problems. Anyway it will come a version 1.2 in short time, which will solve some bugs.

You're wellcome!

ROM Max Smart v-1.1

Installed ROM Max Smart v-1.1 ... very pleased about the possibility to switch 3G between the two sim slots

the only problem until now seems to be the very fast drain of battery comparatively with MAX FLAVOUR ROM and Original Official Stock 1.0.5 ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5186178:
This is new... I'm running this ROM since I made version 1.0 and I didn't charge my phone since friday - I still have 70% battery. Well, I don't use google apps (they are real battery hogs) but still... I guess I'm not an intensive user.

Try to recalibrate your battery - I see this phone has a problem with that. I had to do that once.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kandreou:
Best battery consumption

Well i must agree with carliv... this rom has the best battery consumption ever , i am using it 2 days now and i am still at 77%

Try to calibrate the battery ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a_stefane:
...sorry, did you use wifi and gapps these 2 days ? how long?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kandreou:
Wifi is always open, both days and gapps i instaled the Essential version the second day ... it really looks amazing so far!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clio94:
This is the best Rom.everything work ok in my v967s. I agree that battery is super.I am using gapps and also I am running all the time the program automaton to open the device without searching power button and I have no battery drain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fotisstrakosia:
Hello Carliv,

First I would like to thank you for your effort on the v967s. I have installed your ROM Max Smart v-1.1 with essential gapps and it is a very fast and stable ROM but I have one issue with the connection to the PC via USB cable. When I connect the v967s to the PC and I select to "Turn on USB storage" the device does not connect to the PC. I tried with a PC running windows 8 and also with a PC running Windows XP.

Previously I had the stock ROM 1.0.3 on the v967s and the connection as USB mass storage was working with no problem with these two PCs.

Do you have any idea why I face this issue ?

Thank you again for your support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5186178:
Because is a port ROM, I had to make some changes in boot.img, otherwise the ROM wouldn't be able to see sdcard and tend to install on internal storage, which for me is 237mb (I have 2.5Gb userdata partition). So, in order to connect the phone you need to select connect as cd image, to install drivers and overwrite those already installed. Then restart both computer and phone. Close any firewall and antivirus you have. Connect again with USB debugging enabled (it should be default because I set it that way), and select USB Mass storage for XP and MTP device for windows 8. Close that window asking you to install drivers and select ask me later. Now you should be able to see your phone as USB device, both sdcard and phone storage.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AngelDeep:
I have the same issue, I cannot conect usb to PC. I haven´t drivers for Device CDC Serial - USB\VID_19D2&PID_0005&MI_02\

Thanks for your work.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5186178:
The solution I provided above is a temporary one. ZTE drivers are not updated since 2012. I took a look in it and I saw no support dedicated for this device. I will try to patch zte drivers to work properly with our phone no matter what ROM is installed. In USB driver you can see there is no definitions for V967S ports. If this will work I will post my solution in one of my threads.

In linux, where is no need of drivers there is no problem, but is a little bit triky to write correct rules.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bomberb17:
I tried with linux, no luck with USB as well
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
You have to set android rules for this phone in /etc/udev/rules.d.

51-android.rules

#MTK
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0e8d", MODE="0666"
#ZTE
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"

and

99-android.rules

# ZTE V967S P188F07
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0BB4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0c03", MODE="0666", OWNER="max" # MTP mode with USB debug on

I'm using this rom too now due to its 3g sim switch feature but:

- where is stock android keyboard ?

- when I losten to tunein radio, one min later that the lockscreen gets activated the music stops playing. Is the lockscreen stopping the network connection ? I have no problem with the music app

Inviato dal mio ZTE V967S usando Tapatalk 4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
The stock android keyboard doesn't work with this ROM (it can't memorize settings for some reason).

I can't reproduce your error with tunein radio; did you have made some settings in zdbox or other app for saving battery?

I just listened 10 min in screen off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] suoko:
I removed setcpu and it looks ok. With it activated it was difficult to wake up from lockscreen sometimes too.

Inviato dal mio ZTE V967S usando Tapatalk 4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmd77:
and also (very important - this is why didn't worked for me for the first time), if mounted as cd-rom appear - just give eject(unmount) to that and than will appera as usb mass storage (of course after you created and saved as root the files 51-android.rules and 99-android.rules) as described above.

i have linux mint and now I can see it as usb storage
[Miscellaneous Android Development] suoko:
Just tried on win8 and it works as mtp with no issue

If I try usb mount I have problems too (device is recognized as cdc serial)

A couple of issues with this rom:

1) sometimes malware sw appears on the home screen like "texas holdem". Is there a worm inside ???

2) navmii (the best nav ever) uninstalls automatically

Inviato dal mio ZTE V967S usando Tapatalk 4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
That is not malware, those are some ads from one of the free app ad supported (I guess is LineaCamera) you don't need them uninstall it.

For navmii, I don't know that, but take a logcat after install untill it's uninstall by itself, and give me the pastebin link.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] suoko:
Logcat is on, let's see who hates this nav so much.

One last question: do I really need super su pro installed?

Inviato dal mio ZTE V967S usando Tapatalk 4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
No, you don't. That cames with A830 ROM I ported and I kept it, mostly to see if there is any difference. But, regular SuperSu does the job just fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] calibra3:
hello from spain.

I have install this rom today and I think that it is the best rom for the V967s.

But I have two dudes:

1.- If I want to change the wallpaper, when I select the new photo, it's cut by the left side, and it is not centerer how I select it.

How I can fix it????

2.- In the lockscreen, where I change the number of screens and choose the shorcuts for the unlock ring. I have search in screen settings, but I cant find the lockscreen settings.

sorry for my bad english.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Thanks for appreciations.

:laugh: Let me guess: You had a HTC before! Aren't you? This ROM doesn't have that type of unlock screen. You have only unlock option by default, and if you have missed messages or calls they will appear as shortcuts with badges. Also, music player and internet radio will have commands on lockscreen if they are started.

For wallpapers you have to set by yourself position, margin and size.

Look here:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] calibra3:
I understand the photo and margin and size.. but when I select the zone that I want cut and apply, then cut me the photo by the left again.

I can't put the photo that I want. I have install some gallery viewer without luck. can you?

PD: I have a galaxy s4 with jkay framework with this ring. , not htc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Ah, sorry. I had a HTC before and I hated that lockscreen ring. I guess you are talking about a circle with shortcuts on the sides... No, that is not included in this framework.

About wallpapers I'm not sure I understand the problem, but below I made a graphic presentation with steps for setting a custom wallpaper (one not included in framework):

This is how I set a wallpaper from gallery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] calibra3:
not luck wit this explanation.

I think that it is because I ony put one home screen and not , three or four. then the system can't resize de photo very well.

Now I have a important problem.

The wifi connection , disconnect every 3 minutes. Do you know any issue? or I am the first.

when I install the rom I did all the wipes.

EDIT: I think that I have solved it. In advanced settings in the wifi section, I have disabled the energy saving in wifi, and at the moment I have not suffer disconnections......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] calibra3:
hello again friends.

One question.

Can I active te automatic brightness, without problems? or it is more safe use the phone in manual brightness.

The question is because the older roms have problems with auto-brightness doind the phone don't start.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] suoko:
I have a question regarding ram boosting. With lewaos you have a button to close all opened apps at once: that button appears when showing opened apps (long press of home button) and really close them all.

With this rom I'm using the 'good but old' clean master app which has the 1button boost but it only cleans the ram: as a matter of fact you can see that all apps are all still 'active' by long pressing the home button. How can I reproduce the lewa button and do a true killall ?

Inviato dal mio ZTE V967S usando Tapatalk 4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
There is a widget for kill all, provided by zdbox. Search in widget drawer for it. Also I kept original ROM task manager. Both have that function.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wmi543:
I just installed this rom, it works great, thanks for your work!

The only thing I want to change is the elastic effect while scrolling, the bounce range is too big, any chance I can disable it, thanks again!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
That is coded in ROM's framework, and it can't be disabled from settings menu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clio94:
+1 about the bounce effect.It is too much.Can you please provide a fix or in next version remove it; Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RoyalWulf:
Hi can you have an option to keep the soft key lights on?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] keylight65:
Excellent job, thanks for your work.

Installed and works fine, no trouble.

Tried also install zip to extend partition but no way to do.

Aborted. Any solution?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clio94:
settings--->display--->touch key light duration--->always on
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
You have to do that with stock or Max Flavour ROM. This is a port, and installer asert test will fail. Or try to change the recovery. See which works for you. But from my tests that never worked with Max Smart installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RoyalWulf:
duh, cheers

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Firstly, great ROM.

Battery life and speed

I have been using this phone for 5 days so not too long.

So far this ROM is comparable to Stock in battery life. I was only getting a day of usage on both stock and this ROM. After research I found that if you are in an area with poor cell phone coverage as I am, then battery life is terrible. I had two SIMS in the phone with no or little coverage to both at home.

At work I get coverage with one but not the second one. When I disabled the second SIM I have had great battery life. Still on 68% after using it all day, and some of this 68% was before I disabled one SIM.

Speed. Using the Antutu score, the stock rom was much higher than this ROM (13600 compared with 12,800). I imagine this ROM is running lots more things but I killed off all processes and put aeroplane mode on. Any thoughts on the speed difference? I tested before I put GAPS on.

Still fast so thank you very much.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RoyalWulf:
This rom seems to be using battery on Bluetooth.

I don't have Bluetooth turned on, dont use it, but when I look at battery usage it was on 19% and keep going up.

I powered off and still bt went up. Any body else have this issue?

edit: found an app that is using bt, been using this app for ages on other phones with no problem, it is the nz phone app, sorry

i experienced the smart rom today and i have to say is EXCEPTIONAL

faster than max flavour

I suggest you clean the rom (you have two keyboards) and optimize

you will do

i really don t like the launcher you are using

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
The ROM has two keyboards but only one is in system. TouchPal can be uninstalled in 2 sec. I put it there because many people don't know how to use multikeyboard and how good it is (light, fast, reliable - never crash, you can download only dictionary you need).

Linea Camera also can be uninstalled in 2 sec. Those are not system apps.

This launcher is the lightest launcher I could find. I tried everything, apex, nova, adw, solo, holo, trebuchet, xperia, and so on. All of them were slower and heavy on battery. If I will find a better launcher I will change it, but untill now I didn't. Lenovo launcher is better but I don't like at all those round icons.

But after all, everyone can modify it how he or she likes. You know, that it is an impossible job to please every person from this forum. I wasn't pleased by stock ROM, and I started to modify it. Then I shared that with you all, and now that becomes few projects. If the Stock ROM were good, now I would be doing something else. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] satiros:
As i said this Rom is exceptional

thats the key statement

and im totaly happy with it !!!!!

close to perfect

The apps i know they can be removed

and I totally undenstand we cant all be happy !!!! at the same time

minor changes i suggest

i would if possible change the bootanimation not showing lenovo or samsung

i dont understand the use of zdbox it doesnt add to my experience

the use was fast snappy and the ui beautifull

everything worked fine the battery use was great

bt wifi sensors all ok

somehow i could not find the how to change how many icons were shown besides wifi bt etc as shortcuts

i installed go launcher

and i crashed it and got stuck in the menu of it so i turned back to max flavour

A huge thank you to carliv

you are the best

and I wish you keep making better (to your undestanding )
