[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lsquare:
The GPS on the N7 is not going to be very effective without a data connection. I have a Garmin GLO which is a dedicated bluetooth GPS device. I want to use that with an offline navigational software. How do I permanently disable the GPS in the N7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hyperspacey:
Settings-> Location Access-> Untick Use GPS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
The N7 GPS doesn't need a data connection at all. If you have one, you get faster initial acquisition, but that's it. Even without it, initial acquisition is very fast, if you have a reasonable view of the sky. It supports GLONASS, just like the GLO and is probably a bit more accurate than the GLO.

IMO, the GLO doesn't buy you anything and you may have problems with the bluetooth connection being dropped occasionally and reconnect not working working automatically.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AnarchoXen:
I agree especially since the GPS 'fix'. I have a BT GPS as well and up until the fix I was using it, now, I'm not sure I need it for around town daily use. I'm happy with the internal GPS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lsquare:
Then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I want the GPS disabled. Period.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lsquare:
So you're sure that is all that's needed to do to disable the internal GPS of the N7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hyperspacey:
Yep. If you want to disable location functionality completely you could through the toggle at the top of the page to Off, but disabling GPS just involves turning off GPS as a location services option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] F@@dog:
You had better tell that to my GPS then

Just turn it off. As for effectiveness, just drove to Ohio and back using my N7 and it never missed a beat. I admit offline software can consume a fair chunk of memory,but don't say it can't be done. I will probably give Co pilot a try next month on a trip to new Orleans. This time around Sygic worked well enough and obviously I didn't have a data connection. I think your Rube Goldberg idea. may cause you more trouble than its worth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PJ Clifford:
OP, it DOES sound like your mind is already made up, and the instructions to turn off the GPS are correct. However, if you really would like to use your N7 as a GPS device, as F@@dog notes, there are several GPS programs out there that will navigate with GPS without having to maintain a data connection like Google Maps needs to. I have used both programs, Sygic and Co-Pilot, that F@@dog mentions and they both work well. I haven't taken a super long trip (1-2 hours at most) with either, but I have no reason to doubt that they won't work for a long haul.

GAPPS FOR ANDROID 4.3 ARMV6 DEVICES​

INTRODUCTION:

As some people had problems with Android 4.3 GApps and the space left on our phone I created an special GApps. This will be installed in /cache. This means that the GApps won't be installed in /system so you had more space on your device.

INFORMATION:

After install GApps, don't wipe cache unless needed, if you wipe cache you need to re-install GApps.

HOW TO INSTALL:

Flash Android 4.3 ROM

Reboot an configure it

Install GApps

Reboot and Enjoy!

Hey, you did it. I guess I missed this one too. Thank you so much. Tu estas un dev. ;)

Edit: Ok, there is 71mb in (uncompressed) in the cache folder of the zip, so I guess that it will still require some trimming. But comparing it to other gapps packages, I think that this will be fairly easy to do. Again... muchas gracias mi hermano. Tu estas el primo. :)

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Ok, I've successfully installed this with cm10.2. Took out gnow and a few unnecessary libs. Also copied Googletts.apk and libpatts_engine_jni_api.so to /system (fc issue). Rebooted, and it's all still there. Beautiful... just beautiful.:):beer:;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] uf0999:
Nice!

It is possible to install them on /data partition instead of /cache.

Just arguing installing int2ext+ script directly on the rom (like i'm used to do) and then install gapps on data will save more space and we can wipe cache!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
I believe that would require changing the mount statement and all of the symlinks in the updater script. Then your script would symlink gapps again, from /data/app to sd-ext. Double linking. I prefer the /cache method. It's hard enough to fit all my user apps in /data, even with link2sd, or some script. I noticed that somehow the /cache/dalvik-cache folder is empty. And the only other subfolder of /cache that seems to contain anything is recovery (log, 16kb). I just don't see anything that would need to be wiped. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
[Noob][Q] Link2sd and wiping cache?

I would like to flash this /cache gapps.

Just two questions that I am not sure about what can happen:

- Can I use link2sd to link whatever apps to /sd-ext? Will it leave the gapps in /cache in place untouched or in some way link2sd interfere with it?

- Is the /cache partition used the same that will be used for app caching? What happens if I clear cache by mistake? That is, from recovery, or from any app that has "clear cache" option (e.g. link2sd, Titanium Backup etc etc)? Will I have to reinstall gapps, or it's a separate /cache partition?

Awesome idea, the low storage in p500 sucks...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Individual app caches are largely stored in /data/data/, so for clearing browser cache (big one) will have no effect on /cache partition. Link2sd will also not effect gapps (which have usually been installed to /system in the past). It will only link user apps (/data/app/) , or system apps that have been converted to user apps. Yes, wiping /cache from recovery will effectively uninstall gapps. But with this installation I haven't found ANYTHING in /cache that would need to be wiped.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] borchaniz:
After installing these gapps, the only working buttons are power and home and latinime FC's!( I removed libcomm-jni.so and gtalk libs)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Yeah, I had fc also. But Latinime is not in gapps. It's in the rom. I previously had a problem with one of rashed's gapps packages, which installed an incompatible libjni_latinime.so. But this package doesn't do that. I fixed this by installing a trimmed version as a user app, and it's lib into /system/lib. Buttons? Don't know. But I did take latinime.apk (23mb) out of /system. So possibly it's a space problem.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
[MENTION=4730666]borchaniz[/MENTION]

Well... I was wrong about latinime. It is the gapps. Specifically, the symlinks in the updater script. Two symlinks (libjni_latinime.so and libjni_latinimegoogle.so) are written to /system/lib/ overwriting the former. But these libs do not exist in /cache/gapps/lib/. So either edit updater script, to remove those symlinks, or copy libjni_latinime.so to the zip before flashing. Still don't know about buttons yet. ;)

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] borchaniz:
Thx I'll try this later
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
I got same problem- performed full wipe, then flashed rom (cm10.2 from Rashed's thread: and gapps following instructions in op.

Then got the problem with buttons not functioning and keyboard either fc or not showing at all.

So, I flashed rom again, this time with mini gapps by Rahulsby and everything works fine.

However, I prefer of course to have gapps linked to /cache so I hope we manage to nail what's causing the problem..
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Yeah, something that I did during my previous installation allowed my buttons to work correctly. But I haven't had the time yet to go back and research everything that I did. It could be system space, as the gapps does write a little bit to /system. Or it could be another symlinked lib. But we will find the cause. Just need a little time... :D:p;)

sent from the p509 that I thought I killed again... no trouble at all :cool:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] borchaniz:
The problem is fixed for me thx a lot(button problem is fixed too) I just verified all symlinks one by one and made sure their apps and libs exist and now everything is OK!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
can you explain how to verify the symlinks? For the sake of noobs like myself?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marcomarinho:
I will upload a new version soon. Will fix this don't worry
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] borchaniz:
This is about any flash able zip structure! Open the zip with any zip file manager an go inside the zip to /META-INF/google/android and open updater script with notepad ++ and edit symlinks as you like! Good luck!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Yeah, I tried several test flashes to try to break the buttons. It seems that this only happens when I try to flash the entire cache/gapps folder (71mb) to /cache. But since Googletts.apk wants to fc, I will leave it out anyway. Since we have Picotts in system, I'm not sure it's necessary anyway. Adding libjni_latinime.so to the zip allows keyboard to work (unless the cache folder of the zip isn't trimmed down to less than 64mb). Thanks guys, for the help testing. I think that this is very important for the continued development of the newer source. :)

Man you guys seeing the buzz on the Nexus 5? I think that's where it's at...

It supports 7 LTE bands - including TM's, AT&T's, and Sprint's! GSM & CDMA. nearly 5" 1080p screen, but in a body smaller than the nexus 4.

A 2300mah battery might be a deal breaker for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Note 3 as soon as my contract is up in February. There should be some sweet ROMs by then too.

*edit* Since Sprint decided to nerf the Note 3 with single band LTE, I'll be waiting for something else. I'm so glad Dazed has revived the Wicked Sensations ROM as I will be on thr SGS3 until next May.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shazo85:
I have to make a decision on what I'm going to do. I would like the Note 3, but my contract isn't up till August. I really don't want to stay with Sprint if the LTE in my area, 15-20 minutes from downtown St. Louis MO on the IL side, is going to be as bad as it is. I can get 4G LTE in Edwardsville IL fine however in Granite City IL, where I live, and some other areas I'm not getting it or it is hit and miss. I have been in the middle of it and still not been able to get it or not be able to stay connected to it. If they are not done in the are and it gets better I will keep the service till then and hold off till the Note 4 and keep my S3 as a backup. If they are done and this is the best it is going to get I'm going to T-Mobile. So it is stay till my contract is up, pay the ETF or try to get out of the ETF and hand over my S3. If I stay till my contract is up to switch then again I might as well hold off till the Note 4. Also if I go to T-Mobile and they're service is bad then I might as well drop them, pay full price for the phone and go with Straight Talk for the 45 a month. Only issue with that is now I don't have a warranty and if something happens to the phone I have to buy a new one at full price.

I was all excited for the Galaxy Gear, but after seeing it and thinking about it when I have been reading all the stuff on the Pulse reader I'm thinking I wont get it. I would like a smart watch, but none of them are causing me to want to buy them. I thought the Gear would be it, but it wasn't. I guess I will hold out to see what Google comes out with. I'm sure it will be stock Android that is made for a watch, and probably be called Nexus something or something Nexus. However I'm not having high expectations for it like I did with the Gear.

The last thing that was to be announced the other day that I was wanting to hear about was the camera from Sony. The price seems a little high to me for both and I'm not sure if I'm wanting it just because it is new tech to play around with. The price and the fact that if I'm going to carry that around and a phone I might as well just take a camera with me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mainstang:
I'm trying to decide between the note 3 and the g2. I like the big screen and expandable storage and battery of the note 3. But the g2 has a better camera and triband lte so that it will match all future upgrades that sprint does to its network.

Which would you all choose.

I've been contemplating the N5 as well (once I learned the Google Play unlocked model will activate on Sprint).

I'm read for pure google and KitKat + earlier updates.

I don't really use any TW specific functionality and $399 for 32gb and no extending the contract is pretty good.

I want to move to T-Mobile next summer once my contract is over.

I may pull the trigger tonight or tomorrow.... we'll see

I've got the itch for a new phone. At first I was thinking Nexus 5, then LG G2, now I'm leaning toward waiting for the Galaxy S5. Hopefully it will come out sooner in 2014 rather than later. I love the look of the HTC One but I feel like if I just wait a little longer the specs of next year's phones will blow it away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aenews:
Humm... My 2 Cents

Would say HTC One Max is not worth it as it has the older Snapdragon 600 processor and lacks a MicroSD card slot and a removable battery. It does look nice though! The LG Nexus 5 is probably not worth it. It does have the Snapdragon 800 and 2 GB RAM, but... It only comes in 16/32 GB variants both without microSD card slots so no expandability. Really the craze about the Nexus 5 is nothing amazing. It comes with pure Android but you can get solid AOSP ROMs on all the other competitors anyway. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is probably the phone to get. It has the same new Snapdragon 800 processor as all its rivals but Samsung went ballistic and gave it 3 GB RAM. That's insane. None of the other competitors have that much RAM. And of course it has a microSD card slot and removable battery. The Sony Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra are also very much worth getting, both with the Snapdragon 800 and the more standard 2 GB RAM along with microSD card slots albeit no removable batteries. They are unique in that they are waterproof and have nice cameras and all and seem to be lower priced than the Note 3. Right now, the Note 3 seems pretty locked up but hopefully devs will make the phone go round so it is ROM friendly. Some carriers are worse than others.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BubZX:
I was wanting the note 3 but with no triband lte that's a no go. The s5 u think would support it. My area was one of the first to get lte so I don't know if that means my area will be one of the first to get the upgraded lte or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Raistlin1:
I have the Nexus 5 on Sprint and I was coming from the Epic 4g Touch, while I don't miss the removable battery I do miss the sd card. Other than that the N5 is awesome, screen is very different than the AMOLEDs, some say it looks washed out (and it does) but they say it is a better representation of color because the AMOLEDs are too vibrant. Learning adb commands since all I used was odin on my SII but it is not too hard.

My wife still has an SII and I am thinking of upgrading her (no contract) and looking at the SIII or maybe even a Moto X if I get the code for the $150 off. My wife does nothing crazy with her phone, she just needs it to work and the ability to tether it to her laptop once in a while. I don't think she would like the N5 but I have thought about getting her one, she is used to TW so I kinda want to keep her on it. I would also like her phone to have an SD card so that rules out the X and N5 and I don't want to pay the premium for a SIV.

So that is my dilema for the wife; SIII for around $200 used, Moto X for $150 off for a non contract phone or an N5.

Any opinions?

Oh and BTW the new tri-band phones are not all that great because they are not a single radio and you cannot be on the phone and use data anymore. There is also a part of the US that because of this you cannot even get LTE on your triband phone unless you force it and then you lose 3g.

GS-5???

What's the verdict on the GS-V? I thought we were getting a super high rez screen, metal case, etc etc. Maybe i'm being picky...:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imaconeheadXD:
Fairly underwhelming, but still a good upgrade from the S3... I was set on getting the S5 based on the rumored specs, but it seems to still be a Snapdragon 800 instead of 801 or 805, and 2 GB RAM is surprising considering the Note 3 has 3 GB. I'd want to find an alternative upgrade but a microSD card slot and removable battery are a must, sadly not many other manufacturers offer these options anymore :crying:

Edit: According to SamMobile it is indeed an 801 processor at least, that makes it a little better.
