do you think you can post a pic showing Shift showing with that mount? and maybe a pic showing using gps shift in your car? thanks so much
[Shift General] tece:
back to the main post

I gave a call to HTC-Support Germany and asked for a patch or something to activate GPS.

They told me to install from the TomTom-CD which was in the package(but not in mine?). They also said i should take a look on WinMoSide in Start->Settings->GPS ... officially there is no start-button on SnapVue?

Does anyone know it better or is the support on HTC crap?
[Shift General] tece:
...gave them one more call after verifiing that i didn't get the TomTom-CD. Now they told me that GPS definately works and the CD hab just a Demo-Version of TomTom 6. Now I'll try to install a WinMo-Version and ask them once more about the configuration-process.
[Shift General] tece:
hahaha....lol..how could i install tomtom if there's no SD-Card??
[Shift General] cmonex:
gps is confirmed to work
[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
Oh..I missed that one...

found it here: Shift Project

(Where Else)
[Shift General] snorlax:
...but not yet available, right ?
[Shift General] studdocs:
plz tell precisely how to enable GPS in SHIFT ..

I have been searching these threads for two days but have found no solution for activating GPS on HTC SHIFT and actually using it with some application..

I'll be really really grateful if someone could post a step by step instructions here ...
[Shift General] ZH32:
GPS on x9501

Correct me if I wrong, but doesn't the x9501 already have the GPS enabled on WM/SNAPVUE side?
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
Please guys! You've said it yourselves, You have not found anything in the Forum.

GPS is not active on an 'Out of the box' Shift!!

Yet...

People are working on it and it may become available, be patient. :o

Thanks. :)
[Shift General] ZH32:
GPS

Farsquidge,

I don't know if you've followed the whole Expansys posting, but if you check out this posting (http://www.pocketables.net/2008/06/expansys-sellin.html) Expansys confirms with HTC(and so too does the spec sheet for the x9501- http://www.switchoffstayconnected.com/resources/pdf/htc_shift_X9501_gsm_specs.pdf) that there is a "telenav trial with internal GPS" on this model. It also states explicitly that you can get "Turn-by-turn driving directions by using built-in GPS". So, it would seem that there is in fact a Shift with GPS working out of the box.
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
Yes I have, that is a carrier specific ROM implementation that only uses map data downloaded from the network (so ya have to pay for it everytime you use it see!) similar to Google and Microsoft maps but probably costing a tad more!

What the guys here are trying to do here is liberate the GPS so that we can use Tom Tom, Garmin and anything else from our already purchased maps or even Autoroute! free of charge as GPS was intended.

We can wait can't we? :o
[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
So... can we use that rom?

We all do have an unlimited dataplan with our shifts don't we?

;-)
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
I suppose we could but if you check out Telenav, its a subscription based service ABOVE your data plan! ;)
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
The Rom may need to be modified to allow full access to the GPS, but it will be a good place to start.

So... who has one of these models and can dump the Rom?
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
Come on you Canadians!! Get one ordered!
[Shift General] HeadgeaR:
I use this GPS called "Sygic"...
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
Are you telling me that is using the internal GPS or a bluetooth unit?
[Shift General] HeadgeaR:
Bluetooth :(
[Shift General] Farsquidge:
Awww... had my giddy shoes on for a moment there thinking you had something.. Never mind! :o
[Shift General] pof:
I have internal GPS running on SnapVUE, using the drivers available on an older ROM image. Wait until the shift project releases SSPL and HardSPL, and I'm sure this drivers will be included in all cooked ROMs ;)
[Shift General] HDLord:
And how long till the project releases SSPL and HardSPL?

Could someone not release the drivers now, to put us out of our misery?!
[Shift General] lucid:
Yessss give us GPS :) rather had it yesterday...

But hey, in the Netherlands we have a saying :

Well cooked food takes time to deliver.

So...

Well cooked ROM's take time to deliver.

Time is an illusion anyway, so what's the problem ?

I just want to run Reperion GPS tracking on my Shift !!
[Shift General] LordDeath:
Wow, can't wait for it :)

But if the SD Card can not be accessed over SnapVue, how can I properly use the GPS without applications like TomTom?
[Shift General] hmdshmds:
but where did you store your maps ?

its 100+ MB !
[Shift General] androgyn:
For the beginning it would fit for nav4all.com

[Shift General] pof:
I'm not using tomtom on it.
[Shift General] cmonex:
really sorry for the big delay. however, the wait should be over now with user friendly SSPL ;)

that means that we can then release the custom roms too (flashing requires SSPL and hardSPL).

watch this space very soon (the Shift project threads mainly). ;)
[Shift General] LordDeath:
These are really great news :)

Can't wait to see custom roms here :)
[Shift General] mixmaven:
There shouldn't be a problem running custom roms on CDMA "Chifts" as well? I hope?
[Shift General] cmonex:
I assume no problem with CDMA shifts, but if you want to be sure, contact me in PM, and we will check this. I only have GSM one here so need your help to dump the SPL and see if it is any different. if so, then it will have a CDMA version of the package, no real problem :)

[Shift General] Rabia:
i would wonder why company like HTC would let us go through the waiting when they can do it by there self and add extra hundred $$, it been a rule in the USA that every phone made after 2005 should have GPS wither its advertised or not, there phone many phone makers are advertising that (obligatory) added service as luxury, so i can confirm the SHIFT WILL have gps + anttena but used only for tracking the holder of the mobile for terrorist actions, if our guys can utilixe that functionality i would love that :)
[Shift General] foxmeister:
I think you will find that "mandatory GPS" is just paranoia - it also wouldn't work. Whilst the US government could possibly mandate that cell phones sold in the US must be equipped with GPS, they couldn't force phones sold in other nations to be similarly equipped so Joe Terrorist will just source a phone from China - after all, they won't care that it's illegal!

In addition, given that they can track cell phones via mast triangulation to a fair degree of accuracy, it would be largely pointless anyway.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] maus05:
Or is in all roms the settings menu stripped? Any chance to bring all options back?

Ok, lock screen does not give much security because you can flash a new rom in case of theft but it would be a good feature when the car is in service.

Most of us use their main google account, so nobody can see our stuff on the unit.

There are so many threads but no really good answers.

Any Ideas?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahaa7:
Before I get to my question, a quick background, which might help with explaining my question. So recently I switched to another cellular carrier on my unlocked S6 Edge (G925F) and now I would like to flash the baseband from the firmware corresponding to my new carrier in order to get better/proper connectivity. I downloaded and flashed the new carrier's firmware .tar.md5 using Odin, however, in the process of flashing, Odin threw a FAIL message when flashing the hidden.img file. So I had to manually extract and flash that file again, and it worked.

Anyway, it seems like, because of the aforementioned Odin FAIL message, the flashing process did not include the new modem.img file. So now I would like to manually flash that in order to get better service on my new carrier. So how do I do that? I tried flashing just the modem.img file with Odin by selecting it in the "CP" field, however, the flashing process gets stuck on "File analysis..." and nothing gets flashed. Am I doing something wrong? Can I flash that baseband some other way?

UPDATE, SOLVED:

I figured out the solution. I had to manually create a new .tar archive (with 7zip) containing just the modem.bin file. When I tried to flash that with Odin (by adding it under the "CP" field), it successfully went through.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogoibi:
May I please ask you, how did you get a firmware with a modem binary inside it? So far I've downloaded two different firmwares for this device, latest baseband versions, and none of them ships a modem.bin or anything similar. I'm totally puzzled.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azhar.iq:
So were you able to get the latest baseband /modem?? And how??

[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] Cyb3rk1ll:
You don't need trwp to install magisk. You can use magisk manager to patch the stock boot image, then adb push to install the patch boot image to your device. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this here on XDA.
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] DumDumBumBum:
Yeah i know, but haven't try it myself and I usually use twrp to install it. That's why I lack the confidence to do so ?.

Have you tried rooting your zenfone 5q?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] Cyb3rk1ll:
I have not yet, I'm waiting for an unlock method that is reversable, I have however used magisk to patch boot images on some of my other devices that don't have twrp available.

Soon after making my original post I downloaded the stock rom from the Asus support page the same place I got the bootloader unlock app from.

After flashing I got brave or stupid and found a site that had a TWRP for the zc600kl so i said what the hell and installed the TWRP idk if I can link it here but I'm sure they'll get rid of it if it isn't.

https://mega.nz/#!OuJHnaJR!aUTwAtRcEukqOi6XMh-FKsYcM22gHEzC35YajMkSOns

It turned out to be TWRP 3.2.3.0 and works perfectly. only issue I had was during the Magisk installation, twrp couldn't mount anything. turns out it was showing my internal storage as 0 but it was an extremely easy fix! all I had to do was just change the phones storage file system from it's original to another then immediately back to the original file system (can't remember specifics) within the twrp advanced menu I think, but it worked just fine and my internal storage read the correct size. Found fix on YouTube easily.

I installed magisk flawlessly then installed xposed seamless now have the best of both and everything is working great phone is stable no issues at all I'm very pleased,

Safety net check fails but IDC I don't need it.

Ridiculously easy root I love this phone ?? oh and now I have iOS 11 Emojis lol

Hope this helps all you Zenfone 5Q zc600kl owners out there.

If anyone wishes to know anything else PM me I'll try to help.

Same here, seems as though this twrp is for the X017DA which has a much larger size recovery compared to the regular X017D which has a stock recovery size and flash limit of 32mb. I tried for hours to get a ported twrp running on the X017D to no avail. Can someone help?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] dracconus:
I just finished attempting to flash this recovery using my X017DA and I'm getting the file size too large error as well.

There are NUMEROUS people stating that they've rooted this phone and I'd SURE as hell love to know how.

I unlocked the bootloader at this point for nothing, and it's rather irritating.

It's bad enough I have spotty service on this phone because apparently, it doesn't support band 12 (which is crap) and ASUS refuses to cert it for VOLTE

I love the cameras, and functionality of this phone, and for the price the specs are GREAT, but this WILL be the last and only ASUS phone I'll purchase. Hell, I might even ban their computer components from my home after this fiasco.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Hey all, so I just decided to revive my Nexus 7, and I've been out the flashing and custom ROMs game for a while. I'm currently on the Official 7.1 Lineage, and when I try to flash GAPPS -- no matter which one, I've tried them all -- I get a message in TWRP saying insufficient storage space available in system partition. I have a screenshot attached. I've tried several ROMs ranging from 7.1 to 8.0, and no matter what GAPPS I use, I get the same error.

Like I said I've been out of the game for a while, so I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

Some 8.1 roms still work with pick gapps and others don't. For ex. Unlegacy ROM 8.1 (at least 7th July build) while LOS 15.1 doesn"t (5mb of space is missing). To fix that You need to do some modifications to gapps-config

Did you install https://download.lineageos.org/flo and https://opengapps.org/ ARM/7.1/pico ?

Always use 'pico' and install other Google apps individually later as non-system, OK?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] beachfl:
Use the Pico, not Stock. I've got OpenGapps Pico on my Nexus 7 LOS 14.1 right now. Then, like k23m said, install the Google app and whatever else is missing (Maps, I think, for another) from Play Store.

[On LOS 15.1, however, there are issues with Opengapps size, even Pico, as discussed in that thread (some of the later versions of Opengapps 8.1 arm Pico are too large)]

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dglaboi:
I understand for which model but since there is a 16 and 32GB version and mine was an older 16GB version which could handle the stock gapps install I assumed his should be able to install stock gapps on his 32GB version also.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

My apologies. I think I've mistaken the gapps version I installed. I can seem to find the stock gapps download but did find open gapps nano on my laptop. So I think I installed the nano version and then installed any google apps I would need. I will doublecheck this evening to be sure. Sorry for the misinformation....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] beachfl:
Ah, right, I misunderstood.

The issue isn't with how much storage there is (16 or 32 GB). It's how much room is available on the /system partition after the OS is installed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dglaboi:
Yes exactly. When he said he had 24GB available I thought he might be referring to external memory orso. If he installed right after the flashing process i think nano or pico or even stock gapps should install. Correct?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] beachfl:
No.

OpenGapps ARM 7.1 Stock is over 750 MB, way too big for the small remaining free space on the System partition (ARM 7.1 Pico is 142 MB, in comparison).

The System partition on a Nexus 7 2013 is well under 1 GB. Mine reports as 670 MB, though I've read it might actually be 880. Either way, Stock won't fit on top of the OS.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dglaboi:
Ahh ok.

Good to know thanx
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Troops42:
I just got done with the same problem. Couldn't understand, or didn't realize the sys partition was so small. I was able to instal LOS 15.1 on a 16 GB N7 13, but I went through every gapps they had before I finally got Pico to install. I really doesn't matter once you get the play store installed you can install anything you need up to what you can handle after that. I did notice on your pic you were using the stock, which I believe is the biggest one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] trojanprince:
your script

so I have a moto g7 power that ive been having issues getting gapps installed on.. well like an idiot I installed yur script on it not realizing it was for a nexus 7 (great device btw) and that the two devices might have vastly different partitioning schemes and now whenever I try to install a rom I get errors bout partitions not being found and such. tried installing the uninstall but same thing. wht can I do to fix this or is my phone bricked at this point?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
My script creates a backup of the original GPT table in the root of internal storage, named like eg. 'gpt-20191224065053'. If you still have it, one or more, choose the one with earliest timestamp and do:

copy the gpt file to your PC

rename it from eg. 'gpt-20191224065053' to just 'gpt'

get and unzip the attached 'gpt-restore.zip'

copy the 'gpt' file to the unzipped folder

boot TWRP and connect it to your PC

make sure 'adb.exe' is in Windows' path environment

double-click on 'sgdisk-restore.bat'

reboot your phone

Hopefully it works on Moto G7. If you don't have a backup GPT, then I'm sure you will find help on the device's forum.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ArobeeTV:
EDIT: Got the answers I needed, bought the phone, we're good! Thanks!

Hi guys and gals! I'm looking at upgrading from my Galaxy S8+ to a Pixel 2 XL. I admit, I used to be a Samsung fanboy, that being the main reason I got an S8+ like a dumb dumb lol. But I've changed! Having seen the leaks of the Pixel 3, implementing that annoying notch, losing the front facing speakers, I'm not impressed with Google's next offering and don't plan on getting it. That being said, the Pixel 2 XL seems to be a great phone. Is it still worth picking up at this point in its life?

Some explanation for my upgrading may be necessary. For those unfamiliar, the Galaxy S8+ is essentially completely locked down unless you have an international model. Being a Canadian with a Canadian model, I have a grand total of ZERO custom ROMs to use. Now, that's particularly irritating, because this is the first phone I've ever had where I've been locked out of modifying my device the way I want to, and that's very important to me. Had I known this was an issue going into it, I never would have gotten an S8+, but I picked it up very shortly after it was released so we didn't quite know about all of this yet.

No downsides that I have experienced since rooting last November. I can flash roms, kernels, mods, themes. Use TiBu, AdAway, or whatever I like that requires root.
