THanks for the great instructions! Would you be able to provide me the links necessary for AstroGPSLauncher, the .lnk files or help me make my own. I have installed the Garmin on my storage card FYI. I donwloaded SK Shortcut but I have no idea how to use that program. Thanks a ton!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] AstronusX:
For SK Manager, you simply create a new short cut and enter below information

Name = Garmin Launcher

Command = select AstroGPSLauncher application

Parameters = choose your gps application (Garmin ...exe)

and set icon to your gps application.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 760hacker:
I am using the Garmin what are the parameters for that? In simple terms what exactly to I type in that field. do i need to include the words choose your gps application or just the file path? Sorry if this sounds stupid but i just want to do it right the first time!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] AstronusX:
For [Command] and [Parameter] you choose file path of AstroGPSLauncher and your gps applicaton
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 760hacker:
Thanks got it up and running sorta. I am having trouble finding the Garmin City Navigator NA 2008. Does anyone have this handy or know where i can get it quickly. Most of the links i find to it are dead or gone

Until they have Text-to-Speech (meaning it says the name of the street, not just, "turn here", but "turn here onto Mill Street"), nothing is as good as iGuidance. Copilot looks nice, but after using TTS, i cant live with out it. I dont understand why others dont have it, oh well...iGuidance it is

Copilot Live 7

Yes I have Copilot Live 7 and Love it. :D I have been a Copilot user since version 3 and have used it both in the US and Europe. I just installed the DCD 2.2.6 rom and radio 3.27 and get a gps signal in Copilot with no problems.

Since updating to DCD 2.2.6 I have not done extensive navigating with it but it located my current position with no problemes (xv6800). Using the bluetooth gps in my truck I have done extensive navigating and the program works great. Not always accurate (but usually) on final address location, but I have not found a gps program that is always correct.:)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bedoig:
I haven't found a program that will always keep GPS running. I'd be interested in this too.

GPSToday comes close. I haven't played with it too much yet, but I think you can set it to maintain a lock. It seems to drop out and reconnect at certain intervals though. Haven't quite figured it out yet.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JKingDev:
Hey, thanks for the feedback. So copilot starts the internal GPS without the need of another program like live search to start the GPS? Could you use the control panel task manager to see how much memory Copilot 7 uses while you have a GPS lock and have a route planned? Thanks!

Quick GPS

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] popdog54:
I posted this in another thread but no one responded. I have the 3.16 ROM installed. I've tried everything but it still takes about 5 minutes to connect to a satellite using Google Maps or WLS. So I'd like to use my external Holux 1200 BT receiver. I can pair it up fine with my phone. The problem is that I can't set the GPS Hardware Port to COM0, which is what I set the Holux 1200's outgoing port to. I've tried everything I can think of but can't get the setting to stick. It keeps changing back to None. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas what's wrong? Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Soundy106:
Your phone doesn't care what the GPS unit's outgoing port is set to - when you pair it, it should create an incoming port, I would think on the first available COM#. You need to see what that is, and set the software's port to that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] vincemash:
I have tried iguidance and tomtom, the one thing I don't like about tomtom is that it always runs in fullscreen mode, is there a way to change this setting so it does not do that?

I would rather have tomtom in a window so I can access other things on the phone while navigating

Gps Weather

Is it possible to get weather data from the internal GPS?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Soundy106:
You'd need some kind of weather software that will get your location from the GPS and then look up the weather for that area. I don't know of any offhand, but I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Has anyone tried "GPS Tuner" I tried to install the trial and when I went to launch it I got an error saying I needed to free up 24 Meg of memory to run it. I can't even begin to think about how I would accomplish that.

Anyone have any ideas

Mr.Ellsworth
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] madman34:
Like that will ever happen

Wonder why it needs that much RAM ??? I do not even get that on a hard reset.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr.ellsworth:
The best I have ever seen is somewhere in the teen's.

The reason I looked at GPS TUNER was because they claimed to have topo and off road maps and I would like to have some GPS software that would have maps for hiking and camping and offroading etc...

Anyone have any suggestions for a GPS product that would give me off highway maping without requiring 24 Meg of Memory to run.

possible workaround w/o gpsgate

I have done this on a Kaiser and it works fine, not sure if it might work on the Titan as well and maybe other platforms that are having WM6.1 problems. The DLL file should be generic for all the qualcomm GPSone units.

So someone give it a try and let me know if success or not here or in other thread where I posted the fix.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2113025#post2113025
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TalynOne:
Hmm, I'll try this after doing a full backup, but I'm skeptical since he Kaiser folks have been only experiencing this issue with WM 6.1 ROMs, not WM 6.0, Titan owners have been experiencing the iGuidance issue on every ROM. Also Titan users tend to need a program, such as AstroGPSLauncher, to prime the GPS with most GPS applications, while Kaiser users don't.

Edit: Just tried it, as expected the Kaiser drivers are too different from the Titan, the drivers you provided caused iGuidance to lock up the entire device when attempting to access the GPS.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Joe1981AL:
Well it was worth a shot. Its not a modified dll, just one from a wm6.0 rom. Just happy mine works w/o any accessory programs now :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dan-htc-touch:
what about that same dll from a titan 6.0 rom?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] insol:
It seems the problem is only in TomTom v6.030. I have also noticed that the sound doesn't seem to play unless it has a GPS device (the device seems to have to be there... not necessarily locked-in).

I have read in other threads that using the jog dial turns it back on... For those of us without a jog dial clicking left on the d-pad (perhaps right for some), seems to do the trick. I will be looking into Mortplayer to see if I can get this all seamless.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mdjkim:
My built-in GPS sometimes freezes up or becomes unresponsive. Sometimes it can be difficult to know whether it's really frozen or if it's just taking a while to get a signal lock from all the satellites.

So I'm always using GPS Viewer (http://www.hevis.com.hk/download/GpsViewer1.5.zip)

and when I see no satellites appearing, I simply reset my device, and then I'm back up and running in no time! The satellites appear right away after a quick reset.

GPS Viewer is a must! This FREE utility is really useful.

Here's another tip: sometimes when I open the GPS, it takes a while to lock a signal. But, if I close the GPS, then re-open the GPS, I get a solid blue signal much faster. Not entirely sure why, but it seems to help to toggle the GPS on and off sometimes.

Make sure you set the COM port to COM4.

ActiveSync preventing lock?

I posted this in another thread today - but this seems to be the better place to ask this question:

I've been using all of the DCD Rom's and have had various levels of locking success, but just ran into something odd - If ActiveSync is running - locks take much much longer, if ever, but if I completely close ActiveSync with task manager - I get locks in seconds. Has anyone else noticed this - and - is it possible to prevent ActiveSync from auto-starting?

HELP PLEASE....someone save me!

I am on Verizon...I have the VX8600....I have 1400minute shared plan with my wife and a unlimited data plan for 29.99 extra.

I have tried updating this phone over 10 times already now! Anytime I use anything other than the original stock Verizon ROM, I cannot make calls at all....it doesnt even get one bar, just says "Searching..." for service even though I have had all the right combinations.

I tried:

- DCD 3.1.2 with Radio 3.39.10 + (verizon carrier CAB file)

- DCD 2.1.0 with Radio 3.37 + (verizon carrier CAB file)

- DCD 2.3.2 with Radio 3.37 + (verizon carrier CAB file)

- Sprint ROM with built in radio (and yes, I did reboot it before it ran any customizations)

** After each one I already did ##778 and checked all my NAM and other settings, everything is the same as it was on the stock/working original rom! (yet, no signal AT ALL)

NONE of these worked, and it isnt like I am getting a weak signal or anything, I am getting NO signal at all, yet my wife's phone, on the same shared plan in the same house gets 4 bars! My PDA when using custom ROMs (even though I used the 2.40 unlocker and did everything step by step) just says "Searching" for service, and when I make a call, it doesnt even TRY to ring, I tried activation *228, then Send...immediately it says "call lost" - "signal is faded", because it is constantly searching, no service! GRRR!!

This has made me so mad....I have stayed up late everynight for about a week trying to make this work, and nothing! I've tried all the manual install instructions...is there an automated one? A package that contains all the rom/radio images all in one flash???

HELP! I wanna be able to use GPS without having to use an external blutooth paired GPS device.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

ttn 6.032.8 install does not finish

Anybody with problems installing the default tomtom version on this ROM?

I have installed this ROM, and when I install the 6.032.8 version on my Tytn ii, the installation will not finish. The installation bar indicates that it is (almost) finished 'Installing TomTom Navigator.CAB...'.

Despite of the installation still running, I can use the TT application without any problems, but....when I close the installation, tomtom cannot be started.

I tried copying the TT program folder while the installation program was running; closed the installation, copied the contents back to the original....but no luck.

Any Idea?

Thanks to all

Thanks to the forum, this sticky, the wiki and DCD.

When I first got my XV6800 a friend told me that to activate the gps I just had to run this that and the other thing and voila, I'd have GPS. Ended up with no GPS and a phone that froze on suspend. Grrr.

I spent some time reading this forum, this sticky and the wiki. Upgraded using the SD method, *228, called Verizon to re-authenticate, installed GPS viewer and TomTom, and Voila! I have GPS and Tom Tom working on my phone. Everything else works great too.

Thank you, Thank you.

Help with locking on to satelites

Hello folks, I have a verizon xv6800 running DCD 3.12 with radio 3.39.10. Everythig was working great for a while then all of the sudden I can not get any satelites to lock. I use GPS viewer. it finds the gps it goes through the motion of trying to lock on the satelites. but never does.

I've tried nue2 3067 and 3068 with the same radio 3.39.10 and still no luck. The funny thing is that a week ago it all worked great. It used to lock on withen 10 seconds.

any suggestions

I had problems with Radio 3.39.10 and nue2 3067. After some troubleshooting I decided to downgrade to radio 3.35.04. Amazingly, I get about 25MB free memory after a soft reset with a nue2-3067/r3.35.04 combination. The GPS now lock within seconds. One good thing I noticed about 3.39.10 was that the battery "seemed" to last longer.

GPSMode Settings..

has anyone tried to set gpsmode to 3?.. just to test it out i put it on that mode, and no matter how long my phone is on standby or how many days have gone by, it still locks when i use google maps or any other GPS software.. I originally had it on gpsmode 4 because of some other forums say it locks faster but it just made my gps see 0 sats after a long standby time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crobs808:
"gpsmode 3"? do you mean you are using "COM Port 3"? If so, you will not get a signal on com 3, unless you have also changed the com port in the native/built in Windows GPS settings also...both have to match, you cannot just switch it on the GPS Viewer only.

I would be interested to know...take 30 minutes, sit down, try all the different COM ports on 4800baud and up, remembering to change both windows gps settings as well as gpsviewer settings. let us know your findings.

For people with Sprint:

Install this cab.

Navigate to \Windows and run PPST.exe. Proceed with the update and let the phone reset.

To check if it was successful, go to Settings and under Device Information make sure PRI version is 2.03_003.

You should all get GPS locks within seconds with any software. (Keep GPSMode set to 2, NOT 4 in the registry)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eightan:
Hello Guys!

I have recently installed the AOSPExtended rom on my phone and i was really disappointed by the camera app that it includes.

So i was wondering if there is any plan to port the stock samsung camera app to AOSP and if not, which camera apps would you recommend?

Another problem I'm facing is with the external sd card. i want to use it as a storage device for my camera but it says that i have to format it first, and i dont want to do it - so is there any way to bypass this ?

Thank you in advance! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Clarkiieh:
The best camera app is the Samsung one since its the only one that allows the camera to work at its best, unless Samsung release the source code for the camera it will never look as good as stock. Either go with a custom stock ROM or stick with AOSP. I have seen people report the HTC camera app works best out of those available.

hi...

i came from stock 7.0. ( htc_hiaeuhl / 2.17.401.2 )

1. unlocked bootloader - done

2. flashed twrp - done

3. flashed lineageos14.1 rom - done

4. flashed gapps arm64 7.1 nano - done

when rebooting after all that, the phone is stuck in kinda bootloader loop.

any hints for me? thank you.
[HTC One A9] 22bsti:
I am pretty sure that if you came from Stock Nougat you will have to downgrade to MM firmware before going to LineageOS.

https://xdaforums.com/one-a9/general/cm14-nightlys-discussion-support-t3510157/
[HTC One A9] paparansen:
yup... after reading and trying all night, i guess that it is not possible to downgrade unless i do this soff thing.

or will there be a way to install lineage in the future maybe?
[HTC One A9] alray:
HTC did not released the kernel source for Nougat yet. When it will be done, you should expect LOS to work with the 2.xx.xxx.x firmwares

You might be able to downgrade even if s-on (check my ruu thread in the general section). You'll need to edit your /misc partition and have a signed marshmallow firmware.zip file for your cid/mid (i.e extracted from an old marshmallow ota update).
[HTC One A9] paparansen:
thank you for that information and your help.

i did read again a lot of stuff, tried this and that, it was horrible :eek:

- i modified like explained in your thread, then i flashed a marshmallow firmware, which went well. then i tried to flash latest marshmallow ruu, did not went well and phone was stuck in bootloader with an error about init mgr blabla.

tried and tried and tried, no chance in any way.

then i tried flashing twrp, which worked.

after that i flashed latest lineage, et voila.

as i can live without original rom, this is ok for me.

thank you!
[HTC One A9] aegidius_7:
Hi,

Same problem for me I think. Glad to read there is a solution until LineageOS becomes compatible with 2.xx.xxx.x firmwares . I understand what I have to do : downgrade to marshmallow firmware, using S-ON method.

I only wonder where to find the signed marshmallow firmware.zip because there are none in the HTC One A9 RUU Collection thread (there are only Nougat firmwares).

I need version-main 1.56.401.70. I found the RUU (1,8 Go) in the thread but not the firmware. I tried to extract firmware files from RUU with RUU_Decrypt_Tool, but I don't know how to make them flashable for SDcard method.

I also found a link from you alray https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634758247 but file doesn't seem to be available anymore (about 100 Mo). Do you still have it please ?
[HTC One A9] alray:
If your phone is S-ON you can't use a firmware extracted from a ruu anyway. The firmware.zip file when extracted from a ruu is an unsigned firmware.zip (only flashable on s-off phones). You can extract the signed firmware from an ota update zip file since extracting that file from an ota doesn't require any decryption and you still have a signed firmware.zip at the end. So try to find the 1.56.401.70 ota zip, extract the firmware.zip from this file or you'll have to use Sunshine and flash the unsigned version you can get from the ruu.

simply zip the files from the OUT/firmware folder (zip the files only, not the folder). If flashing with a SD card, name the zip file "2PQ9IMG", if flashing using fastboot in RUU mode, the filename doesn't matter.
