Just go safe for a start...

Hello, I guess you must be kidding since you already have 81 post, I don't think you are so unaware of Trinity stuffs...

Anyway, in case your request was serious, here below is the HTC club's registration link.

You just register, and then using your IMEI number, you just download the suitable GPS enabled rom for your device, according to your brand or unbrand, and your geographic area.

Just go safe and start using GPS with a safe official rom.

When you feel more confident, you'll find plenty of wm6 rom on this forum, cooked or rebuilt.

update your signature with your new phone details

No problem, my pleasure to help in the extend of my limited knowledge.

OK, let's start from the beginning:

could you update your signature in order to let us know which version of rom, radio, protocole etc. you're running.

And can you tell also in which area you bought your device, this will decide which rom you can safely flash your phone with.

But what I can already understand from what you are saying is that your present rom is already up to date and fully GPS enabled like every rom since april/may 2007, and even earlier for some branded releases of the Trinity, like dopod in Asia (february 2007) or Vodaphone (march 2007).

What you need now is two steps:

1) first of all make the settings icon of GPS showing up in your settings/connexions tab.

(there is a registry tweak to do that, or more simple, just use trinityhacks v0.3 that you can find by making a search on this forum)

2) find an application that uses GPS:

tomtom navigator, gps tuner etc.

You can try a free one for a start: GPS Test, that you can find by using google.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
thank you for your help

from my new signature u can know now that i still have old rom that is not supporting GPS.

i bought my HTC from saudi arabia

i know that there is update to my rom as i contacted HTC support and they already inform me that i have an update but when i put my IMEI number in the support site they informed me that there is no update rom suites my version
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
I've got the whole picture now...

OK

1) your rom, radio rom etc. are too old to activate the GPS on your device

So you'll need not only an OS upgrade, but also a radio rom one.

2)

to go safe and use a rom that is allowed by your device's CID, you'll need an English ROM, unbranded, for HTC P3600.

The GPS enabled version of ROM is 1.23.X.X for the ROM, and 1.38.X.X for the radio.

You can find a link on this forum (rapidshare, megaupload etc. for en official English rom of that type.

I'll also have a look for you. I could upload my old ROM for you, but no luck, it's a French one, so not compatible with your CID.

3) if you are brave enough (but it's all under your own responsibility if you brick your device...) you can try that too:

- use 'trinity unlock' or 'SPL_trin' or the new one 'olibro'that you can find on this forum to allow other brands ROM installation.

- flash your device with the official dopod ROM SEA for South-East-Asia in English (that I am running myself at the moment).

I suggest you use the one without radio, spl-ipl, extended rom.

It's safe since there is no risk of conflict with your present device locks.

- then you upgrade your radio with radio 1.46.X.X also from the Dopod's ROM.

This is what I've done, without all the hassles and risks that brings the full ROM update when it's not official HTC P3600 release compatible with your CID.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
realy many thanks for you

i have downloaded the official rom and the new radio.

i will try to use them

again many thanks for your help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
give us some feedback when you can

You're welcome.

It's a pleasure to help.

Don't forget to give us some feedback about your flashing process and result.

Once you've installed the new ROM, use trinityhacks to make the GPS visible and start using it, with 'GPS Test'. The GPS chip is not the fastest, so make sure you are outside, ideally with a good weather and not too many buildings over your head for the first try.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:

hi friend

i did upgrade my HTC P3600 TO

rom version 1.23.405.2

rom date 03/11/07

radio 1.41.00.11

protocol 32.74.7020.18h

extrom 1.23.405.103

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT TO USE GPS

I TRIED TO USE TOM TOM NAVIGATOR BUT I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THERE IS NO ENOUGHT MEMORRY

THEN I USED OTHER SOFTWARES THAT ALL FAILED TO FIND GPS

THANKS AGAIN
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
Hello,

nice to hear from you again.

As I told you in my previous post, the first thing to do wasn't to use Tomtom, but to make your GPS show up.

I suggest you first do a hardreset, in order to erase all the GPS softwares installations that you may have failed in the meantime.

1)

For a start, you should have first use Trinityhacks to add the GPS icon in your settings/connexions tab.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303657&highlight=trinity+hacks

(you could have found it yourself on the forum, by making a keyword search as I just did)

2)

After reboot, U'll see your GPS and check is settings that should GPD1 and most important communication port 9, plus its speed, expressed in bauds.

3)

after that, use a freeware called GPS Test (do a google search, u'll find it) and install it.

It will find itself your GPS on the right port. If it doesn't, just use the settings u've seen in the first step (com port 9 and highest speed you can)

4)

it should show looking for gps and then, gps starting up

it will search for a while before getting the fist lock (fix) on the sattelites)

when it starts, it's written 1D view, but when the fix is done, it will be 3D plus the location of the place where you are.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
I suggested you to not start with tomtom from the beginning since it's not the easiest software to use with GPS, at first.

Some versions of tomtom does recognize the internal GPS without any special settings, but some doesnt, so you'll have to choose 'NMEA device' and then set it on the port com number 9.

But, try this freeware called GPS Test first, and tell me what it shows.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
dear friend

thank you again for your help

really your are wonderful,

the GPS icon was shown by other way that i could find here in the forums by which i did some registery changes that showed the GPS icon in the connections.so i used this icon to adjust the com port to com 9 and to use intermediate speed.

then i used the navigon 6 program that i found how it use it in details in one Arabic forum

and it worked very nice with me.

i think i will not use tom tom again

thank you very much
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
Good news, you finally got your GPS up and running. Congrats.

Yes, the registry tweaks do just the same thing, and it's more challenging to do it that way, in the meantime you understand better how your device works.

I suggest (except if you've heard something different from your documentations) that you just let your GPS at its maximum speed, 115 200 bauds.

At the contrary, you can decide for each program using the GPS to set it to the full speed or to just use a part of it, but the GPS itself should be ready to give as much as it can.

I've never tried that software you mentioned. If it works so well, I might give a try sometimes. Thanks for the information.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
i was informed to keep the speed at 57600 i will try to make it max

this navigon is simple to be used and a bit lite and has maps for some arabic countries

thanks again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
Thanks to you too for introducing this interresting software to me.

I got the information and appreciate your loyalty for sharing.

P.S: your information might be right about setting the GPS to half its speed, I'll give it a try too, to see whether or not the fix is faster that way.

Do take care, and we can PM each other any time for information sharing.

;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
I Did Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
I did too ;-)

By the way I tried your settings (half the baud-speed) in GPS settings but I did not notice any improvement.

Are you sure your information weren't talking not about the GPS general settings, but about the GPS settings in each application?

For instance, in your case, the settings in the Navigon options?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dodos_4:
Yes

It Was About The General Settings Of Gps And In Turn I Applied It On The Navigon As Well

But In Fact I Don't Know The Difference Between The Performance Between The 2 Speeds

It Will Take Some Time For Me To Differentiate

I Am Happy That It Worked It Will Take Some Time To See The Speed

Why not have threads like this made sticky so as to help future newbies, or incorporate this information into the wiki.

I hate arrogant pricks that make out that they didn't have to learn what they currently know, and a system like I've outlined would go someway to preventing the smug c**ts feeling so superior.....oh and help future newbs.

Just my thoughts.

Spv M700 Gps??

I loaded the Trinity Hack and got the GPS icon in Connections. Set the GPS Program Port to 'GPD1' the Hardware Port to 'COM9' and the Baud Rate to 57600 Access set to Auto. Then I loaded GPS Test and it scans all the ports but never finds anything. If I set GPS Test to COM9 it says 'Looking for GPS Unit' but never finds it. Any idea about this problem????

Dear friends,

We love hearing songs from walkman application(Now it is known as 'Music'). So, we make playlists as per our​

requirements. But, whenever we are switching ROM or doing fresh installations, we lose all our playlists. It must be a difficult one for making playlists again and again. But, no worries. I found a way to backup the playlists we created.

Requirements:

1. Rooted phone

2. Titanium Backup

3. Walkman/Music app installed

4. Playlists created

Instructions for Backing up:

1. Open the app Titanium Backup from app drawer .

2. Goto Backup/Restore tab. There you will find the app Media Storage ****** (Playlists)

3. Backup it along with Walkman/Music app.

4. Now, use any file manager and navigate to Phone Memory. There, you will find a folder named Titanium Backup. Copy that folder into SD card or somewhere else, where it will be safe.

That's all now you have backed up your playlist along with Walkman/Music app.

Instructions for Restoring:

1. After you have installed a new ROM/Fresh installation, install the app Titanium Backup from Playstore.

2. Now copy the Backed up Titanium Backup folder from SD card and paste it to the Phone memory.

3. Open the Titanium Backup app from app drawer.

4. Select the Menu from top right corner in the app.

5. You will see so many Menu options. Among that select Batch actions under,General category.

6. It will navigate to sub menu of Batch actions.

7. There select Run, Left to the Restore all apps Data under the Restore menu

8. Select, Media Storage ****** (Playlists) and, Music app and press the green tick mark on top right corner.

9. It is safe to reboot your phone after the restoration.

Voila!! Your playlists have been restored now.

I have personally verified this method on my Xperia Z2 Music app. Those who are using other mobiles, can confirm it.
[Xperia Z2 General] adolfovm:
I can confirm that this method works, though it will backup all your "Media Store", so info on pictures, videos, etc will also be there.

I have found a simple program on the play store that backups just the playlists and it works great for restoring them also, its called playlist backup:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ssi.playlistbackup

I just stumbled upon it but if you guys just want to backup your playlists, it will do. Works great with the "favorites" playlists as well. ;)

Also, no root needed! :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Infy_AsiX:
IpThanks I needed this information to restore my playlists after my SD card suddenly broke. I tried restoring them by a nandroid but they would soon disappear after booting.

So I restored Media Storage ****** (Playlists) and Music app. Also using Titanium to freeze ProtectedMediaScannerTrigger prevented the playlists from disappearing soon after booting. I use "Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer" instead to manually trigger (or auto if set) to run scans that somehow doesn't remove tracks after a nandroid restore and also save battery by not running a scan on boot . Note that module breaks MTP but is fine on version 1.3.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickleman77:
Hi everyone,

I've been trying new ROMs and kernels since I got my M8 about a year ago. Ever since I switched away from Sense ROMs to GPE and AOSP, I've noticed that my phone has become debilitatingly slow on a semi-regular basis until I do a clean flash (and even then, the speed lasts for only a couple days max after restoring my apps).

Specifically:

- In general, apps and system activity will freeze mid-use

- Phone calls will sometimes cause my phone to vibrate for a bit before letting me act on them (and even so, my phone may be too frozen to act at all)

- Screen power-on sometimes takes a few tries

- Major 3rd party like Uber, Snapchat, etc- will take a long time to load and stutter more frequently during use

- Camera takes a good amount of time to load regardless of app

I'm mostly trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my approach to ROM selection, backup/restoring, or kernel configuration, because none of this feels how using a year-old flagship should.

Here's my current flow between ROMs: Backup all user apps, accounts, and other ROM-agnostic attributes with Titanium Pro; factory reset with TWRP; install ROM + gapps with TWRP; reboot, log in with Google to install Titanium; restore all missing apps + system data with Titanium. I've used DH's GPE, BlissPop, CM 12.1, and Candy5- all with the same result of general slowness and unusability after a couple days of use.

Things to note which I suspect may be possible culprits:

- I haven't ever cleared out internal storage, but try to keep ~5 gb free at a time.

- I have 3-4 Google accounts synced at once.

- I regularly use Facebook, Snapchat, and Uber/Lyft- all of which feel somewhat bloated and don't adhere to Android guidelines too well as far as I can tell

Things I've tried to cut down on lag:

- Greenified aforementioned bloated apps

- Messed with kernel I/O, clock speed, and governor settings with little or temporary success (I stick to stock settings now)

- Clearing running apps regularly (which I hate to do- Android should be able to handle processes just fine)

Currently running Candy5, latest build on Verizon.

Hopefully I've been thorough enough in my descriptions to give someone an idea of how to make my phone work as well as I know it should. Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this, and thanks so much in advance for anyone who wants to put the time in to help me out.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Only thing to suggest is not to restore apps and accounts. Set it up fresh from the beginning and run the basic needs for a week see if that helps. Terrible issues can appear when you restore apps that are originally installed on another rom.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickleman77:
Yo! Saw your post a bit earlier. I finally go around to doing a full wipe (that's system/data/cache/internal, not just a factory reset), and only backing up the essentials (no apps- essentially just homescreen layout). Then, I installed DirtyUnicorns and the linked GAPPS, then restored apps from my Google account instead of Titanium. Been going strong for 2 days or so now, but I can't be sure that'll stick around. Honestly, if a full wipe doesn't fix these issues, I'm convinced nothing will, so I'm hoping for the best.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ned4spd8874:
Yeah, I'm kinda doing the same thing now too. Previously I didn't quite use TB to restore my apps like you did; I just restored the data manually for certain apps, but I'm not even doing that this time. I'm just slowly installing apps one by one and giving it a day or at least a few hours of use before installing the next. It's super slow going and sucks to not have all my apps, but I just don't know what to do.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickleman77:
I hear you. I'm convinced the full wipe was the solution, but it hasn't really been long enough to know for sure. Keep me updated, and I'll do the same for you!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ned4spd8874:
I'm still not convinced the full wipe will do it. I did that a couple iterations ago when I was going between ROMS and it didn't help then. The only difference between then and now is I'm going very slowly installing the apps back in and also avoiding restoring the data (data only) from TB unless I absolutely have to.

One oddity for me was when this would happen, if I would go into the recent item listing and cleared it, that would make a huge difference performance wise. Did you experience the same thing?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickleman77:
Yep, I did. It definitely helped briefly, but opening certain apps would bog the entire thing down. Never quite felt the way it should have.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Same thing for me too. Have tried all the best/popular ROMs and eventually I have unbearable lag. Only thing I've done between ROMs is restore apps via Titanium Backup (Just the apps, no data). Wonder if installing the apps 1 by 1 via the play store really helps or not?

Still figuring it out myself. I tried to go to both the latest VenomOne ROM and the last KK version of it and neither would load on my phone. Went back to DU and so far so good. But it's only been about 8 hours. Trying to restore as little data from TB as possible.
