Beta 3.23

3.23

- Fix debug driver version going into release CAB

- Fix COMx as input when whole string is not read at once

- Fix save settings during upgrade install

I notice now, that although switched successfully to COM2, my ModSettings screen still says "MsApi", add this to the bug list :(

Also since when you un-install (or upgrade install), the old dll is used for the un-install so your settings may not be saved correctly this time either. Do to ModSettings and use the default buttons, and manually configure all the required items.

Sorry to those that installed 3.22, get rid of it ASAP.

Mach2003

I try the version 3.23 now and it seems that it worked

I have a bug

When i have the keep alive (tunnels) disable ,the port is on Msapi

When i enable this the port is going to LastKnown and i loose all the satellites....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
That depends on if you actually have a fix at the time. If you don't have a fix, and you disable Keep Alive, then it goes directly to un-fixed (as it should). If you have a fix, and have waited long enough to re-gain fix after the change, then it is a bug.

Try disabling Keep Alive, and then re-starting GPS (after the 15 seconds delay period), and see if it re-gains fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
eventually

I have a problem again

I have restart my phone and i have the same problem .... the program it doesnt recognize the Com. I have to go and change the com manually and then work.

Another Problem is that :

With version 3.20 ι could get signal on Igo 8

Know with 3.23 i cant

I change to 3.20 and i can get signal (on Igo 8) but when i instal the 3.23 i cant get.

I Can see on the Gps Mod Driver thath the Gps is connect and i can see and my coordinates but when i start the igo 8 i cant get the signal and Coordinates

I remind you that with 3.20 version i can

Beta 2.34

3.24

- Was missing the 'non-valid' flaged fields (fix_type, fix_quality) in merge

- Cell data was using wrong satv field

- Reload was saved to Reg, causing problems...

- Using Reload quick on ModSettings Sensor page

- Changed the way 'Fix' on ports page is used

The earlier beta's would show no fix (and send no fix to your app) even though a fix was obtained.

I noticed another little problem on my Diamond this morning. If I don't have any other gsensor application running (such as screen rotation), then my driver gets the same sensor readings over and over again. This has something to do with the sensor thread and GPS application's thread, since once the reader thread is closed (during the delay time), the gsensor reads as desired. At his point, if ModDriver does not detect orientation properly, then install another gsensor app.

Edit: Another bug to report, on upgrade install with save setings chosen, the profile check boxes are not saved properly. You need to run mod settings and select defaults (and edit) each profile in order to have the system work as desired. This is required only on first run after an upgrade install with settingsa saved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
The same Problem my friend

i dont understand what happened
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Larry Brent:
Are there any limitations in the OS? At the moment i must test your driver with my older WM5 device because my Omnia 2 is in the service center for repair.

It's a PDA with built in GPS but i cannot use the program. If i start GPSmodsetup it shows my only a white screen wit "Driver Version 3.24" written on it.

If i try to open the menu the PDA freezes and i have to softreset.

Larry

PS: with the version 3.20 i could go into the menues and adjust the values but there was no GPS signal.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Preliminary results.

Took a while to get first lock.

Waiting an hour and went back outside. Lock in about 10 seconds.

No longer hanging on "No Fix" when switching from Cell to MSAPI

Next test is to refresh QuickGPS and see if it affects GPSMod.

Will wait an hour or so before doing this test.

Not sure why previous versions would hang if started after there have been a quickgps update between last and current start of GPSMod. From my searching the web, it appears all quickgps is doing is updating data files for sat locations. Could it be that GPSMod did not like file changing from its last use of the file?

------------------------------------

Update: Waited the hour. Got 3d lock in about 10 seconds after refreshing QuickGPS and waiting about 10 minutes to start GPSMod.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
sorry.... com1 is still necessary for gpsmod? LEO widcomm chipset permanently use this port for incoming serial :\
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
WOW

Just ran GPSMod and got 3d fix in about 3-4 seconds. It had been an hour since last use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
It works fine on my Omnia, try looking at all the settings in ModSettings. You were not silly enough to think you could install to internal or external card were you?

The latest beta's are built against 6.5.3, so they use the 'new' toolbar. I do have code in there to detect earlier versions, but have done little testing on them yet. Go back to 3.20 for now. Make sure your gps is available on the port selected under ports. Try disabling msapi, and using COM instead.

GpsMod does NOTHING with the file generated by agps (or Xtra on Samsung). The internal GPS driver will look for and install that file on it's own. I had assumed the GPS driver or QuickGps was using GPSApi's functions to update itself. You have shown that is not the case, so your issue with QucikGps seems to have nothing to do with ModDriver after all.

ModDriver will install on the first available free serial port it finds.

If there are none between 1 and 9, then you won't be able to use ModDriver unless you free one up. Devices that use COM are mostly created by registry at HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn. Often there are debugging or extra BlueTooth ports enabled that are of no value.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
lol my friend i am not so silly......

My problem is that the program cant remember the com port on GPSMOD DRIVER

if i change it manually then its worked but when i do a soft reset and open again the program , it cant recognize the com port and i have to put it again manually

The second problem again is :

With version 3.20 ι could get signal on Igo 8

now with 3.24 i cant

I change to 3.20 and i can get signal (on Igo 8) but when i instal the 3.24 i cant get.

I Can see on the Gps Mod Driver thath the Gps is connect and i can see and my coordinates but when i start the igo 8 i cant get the signal and Coordinates

I have hard reset my phone and i have the same problem

When i install it , i have an GPSMod Error Driver did not autoload Com port number is not assigned Finish Setup and then Soft reset. This error i had it and on 3.21 version but i had go and change the com manual and the program remember the com......

On the Registry Drivers\BuiltIn\ModDriver what is the value of the Flags??? in my registry is 0

when i go to home i wll try to make a video to saw you what i mean

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
i'v free com3 port but install say that driver was not start blabla.... i must go to the ports in the settings and choose com3 manualy - then driver start and work perfectly...

ps:and answer pls - questub is still needed? i run garmin w/o questub and after few attempts got connect to the gpsmod port - but sometimes it switches to the hard gps com4 port itself...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
For Garmin choose GpsIntermediateDriver instead of Serial.

Tap the bars on main screen.

Tap Disable.

Bullet on Use GPS Intermediate Driver

Tap Enable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
but intermediate that is not gpsmod when i want the gpsmod exactly!!?

ps: i have always compas speed at both profile even compass option is disabled in each!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Thanks for the info. Good thing is the problem has gone away. Seems like I get 3d locks in less than 10 seconds and sometimes as little as 3 or 4 seconds. Thank you for this hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Mod driver does use gpsid for a long time now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
what about compass speed? its bug?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
i've noticed that speed gets stuck, as well as heading, when you come to a stop. On my omnia msapi flags invalid speed at 0 kph... This will change wiith next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
Hm i thing i have found what happened

I have install the version 3.24 on my HTC HD with Eng Windows Lang and i dont face the problems .

On my omnia i have greek windows Lang

Can you search this please ???

I dont have this problems with 3.20,

i thing that with your mods to change the installation folder happen this ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Thank You, yes, I have hard coded "Program Files" into the installer dll. I'll change it to the proper international value next time out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
OK, I wish the new version releases quickly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
I installed 3.24 on a fresh Rom, so it was an initial install, not an update. First install I got the "Driver did not autoload" problem. So I soft reset and tried again, seemed to work fine. One big problem, it doesn't seem to be working. I get a great lock, but lag advance has no effect at all. I tried 300 all the way up to 7000 in the lag advance setting. No change at all. Also, smoothing seems to have no effect; under 3.20 smoothing worked great. I've attached both the device and SD Mach2003 folders.

Thanks so much for your work on this! I'm REALLY hoping you can get it all sorted out! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vico100:
Hello, when i open gpsmodsetup in start (running wm 6.5) all the program says is "Driver version 3.19" then closes by itself and that is all? what is it supposed to do? why does it close? Please help

I have a HTC x7510

In the documentation is says:

"Support NMEA 0183 version 3.0 or above"

its a SiRFstar gps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Thanks for your report!

You should remove the attachment from the post, now that I have a copy of it (anyone who downloads it can get your exact GPS position from the logs).

Your device is several seconds behind GPS sat time, causing the problem with lag advance.

I changed the way the clock is done in the beta.

-I used to set the device clock from the GPS sat time, now I don't.

-I used to stamp incomming GPS with current device time, now I don't.

My devices sync time from cell tower anyway, so it is always exact time. Raw GPS data comes into my app at varying intravals (-+200 m/s), even though the GPS time stamp inside is almost always exactly 1 second different than the previous reading.

Setting the clock on the device is problematic since the device has a 1 second resolution clock, and GPS time is within 1 millisecond of actual time *but delays in the device make it always a bit late). I was running a loop waiting for the second to change (m/s =0), and then applying the m/s value to that, this caused a delay of up to 1.999 seconds anytime the device clock was different than the GPS clock.

I will test with my device set to the incorrect time, and then repair the driver so that it still works properly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I have no idea what is causing the app to close. It is some system error for sure (like a divide by zero error).

If you can regedit HKLM\Software\Mach2003; EnableLogs, set DWORD value to 3. Run ModSettings and then send me a copy of the device's \Mach2003 folder. You can get my address using one of the donate links.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bartvdv:
Tested 3.24 for a few days on a T5388

it all works pretty well until I reboot ... reset

after install it tells you to set the com port and reset the phone ...

as long as I don't reset it works fine

It took a while to get the cell tower function up and running but even indoors I can track my location

But after a reset the com port is gone and no way to enable until I reinstall and don't reset the phone

Thanks for the updates and all the work by the way

And for some reason the last cell tower location is shown even though I moved a few miles (8) between last cell tower position and gps signal lost and a new cell tower position is needed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vico100:
I did a hard reset of device and reinstall, and its working great!, takes around 10 seconds to connect! (also using quickgps)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
Thanks! Just for your info, I downgraded to 3.20 and lag advance and smoothing work fine...?

EDITED TO ADD: OK, I just re-read your post. The Beta versions handle time differently. Oops..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
So if I understand correctly, with this mod, it will be possible to "use" the hardware compass on Omnia II in whatever applications use GPS...google mpas, igo8, ect?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
O2 Compass works great when you are NOT in an automobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
good to hear!

By the way, is the ROM you are using on your Omnia II available anywhere?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
My home built rom has many personal touches in it, so I've never posted it up. I am working on a new build (in my spare time) so might post that one up IF I keep my personal settings in a seperate build. You know my addy or PM me so this thread does not become a talk about my roms...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
A little more info for you, I'll send the logs later. I downgraded to 3.20 and it was working fine again at home. It went wonky immediately after I got to Honolulu... I'm wondering if that's a problem, getting fixes thousands of miles apart? When I first used 3.20 it worked great but eventually went wonky. I travel a lot, so maybe that has something to do with it???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Feature request : GPS Monitoring by registry

Hi Mach2003,

What do you think about adding a registry key to allow monitoring of GPS status ?

You could update this key to "Enabled" or "1" when some apps are using the GPS and "Disabled" or "0" when no app is using the GPS.

It happens from time to time to forget some app using GPS in background and then the battery drains much faster...

With a registry key it would be possible to use some third party app like "BattClock" or "LeoExtendedNotifications" to monitor the registry and display the GPS status on the screen or blink the led or buttons of the keypad to remind user that the gps is still in use :cool:

Cheers,

Nibbler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Sure, I already have status saved to the registry for my Titanium Utility page (only when Utility Page 7 is "GpsModDriver") so it would be easy to add another reg to this function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
Helloooooo

Can i ask when we expect new Version - Beta ???

Thankssss
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
[b] BETA [/b]

This is the copy I've been trying out...

You might want to install the NewCerts cab first to see if it helps you out.

3.25

- New Certs everywhere

- Fix GpsFixType enum overflow from msapi

- Time stamped GPS input, and cleared stored position after two seconds of no fixed data.

- Changed time, again...

edit:

This one I've never even copied to the phone, you can test it if you like

3.26

- Added Registry for numeric GPS Status at HKLM\Mach2003\ModDriver: DWORD GpsStatus

0: No Input, Bad Handle or Sleeping (Gps is OFF)

1: Delay, During the 15 extra seconds from close to sleep (Gps is ON)

2: Reloading, ModSettings had changed ports (Gps Is off for a short time now)

3: I can't count

4: Gps is on and in use

Edit Again: Oh and log file entries have "My GPS" time stamps instead of the m/s since the log was started.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omek07:
Mach2003 Thanksssss

I will try it and i will tell you the afternoon ...

Can you please check this

http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000...tp-i8000-modaco-com/319451/gps-fix-for-i8000/

can we do anything for this ???

Can we enable the agps with your mods ????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
Thanks tons for all of your work!!!! I'll try it and report back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Could you give some info what NewCerts.cab is doing?

Do I need it on a HD2 with a cooked rom which is accepting normaly any type of modifyed system files

I was trying to "fly" though the last 3-4 pages but find nothing.

Best regards,

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bartvdv:
For me it fixes the com port is lost after restart ...

So now I have something to test
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
what device do you have?

I am not aware that I had such an issue on the cooked roms I used.

v326 is running on my HD2 so far nicely (without installing the cert.cab), but have not checked the details yet

Best regards,

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bartvdv:
A T5388i clone daimond 2

no new roms what so ever ... as long as the gps tells me where to go, I am fine

on 3.25:

Cell tower stops after 10 seconds or so and starts again after i have a 3D fix on > 4 satellites.

Though the location don't change much with cell tower enabled I lose the 3 Fix and have to wait till it has a fix again and then cell tower location kicks in again and so on...

3.26

Didn't install completely phone froze on the part where it says "use com X as com port" waited a few minutes had to use reset button ...

Removed everything but then even the intermediate driver in windows wasn't working and after configuring the comport it frooze again ..

finally managed to reinstall 3.20 ... at least I can drive now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
so do you have a cooked rom or a "standard" rom.

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bartvdv:
standard rom ... there is no cooked one as yet for this one :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
ok, so I am asuming that the cert.cab is than to be able to replace system files.

on cooked roms this is normaly already included.

Best regards,

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
You only need install the certs cab if you have problems loading driver on first install, or if cell tower location does not work. These certs will not cause any problems in any way to your device.

I am digitally signing the app, drivers and dll's with a cetificate that shipped with vs2008. This cab contains those certs. I thought the "NewSDKCerts" cab floating around would have been the same certs, but it is not.

With my old compiler I had a batch file that signed everything with a cert I got from the author of the serial driver template I used, and a way to push that cert to your device in the cab installer. Visual Studio has signing built in, and allows push of certs to device. So far, I am trying to use that method.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I suggest you soft reset the device after installing this cab. Also check all the settings pages in mod settings. Once you have fix, cell tower location should not be used.

Cell tower location is always based on teh tower you are connected to, it does not change unless your device changes connected cell.

3.26 is identical to 3.25, except the adding of the extra registry entry for status. Nothing new that would freeze the device. So then 3.25 should have done the same thing to you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
On my O2 the default settings from my provider (Bell Canada), installed via CSC from imeaCanada.pfg, work great for aGps. I don't need any patching for Xtra or aGps. A well built rom would have these things fixed already. If you need a repair for aGps (or Xtra) then I suggest you use the cabs or registry entries found in that post. ModDriver should NOT be installing these types of things, it is designed to work on all devices, not just a few.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
I installed 3.25 after a hard reset. So far so good. It installed without a hitch and is functioning perfectly. Another 10 days and I'm off to Europe... I'll let you know how it handles the location change then! Thanks again for your efforts!!!

install popup problem

Dear March2003,

Thanks a lot for the work you have done here. HAvent explored all the capabilities of your mod yet, but the accuracy on my HD2/Garmin TX impromed seemingly!

Can I add a request to consider if/when future release will come through? The pop up message that shows up at the end of installation, is it possible to make it auto-closing with a countdown - lets say - 1 minute. The thing is that i am installing your mod through XDA_UC automative restore process, but when it comes to your CAB XDA_UC hangs up waiting for me to press the OK button. And then something goes wrong after that.

Thanks again for your work

P.S. If you can provide a modified settings.dll file that i can put inside my CAB to disable this popup, it would save my day
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
There are quite a few prompts inside the installer dll. And in the newest build there is even another one added (Backup/Restore). Almost always the system must be restarted after install in order to unload the GpsApi.dll that I am replacing.

I recomend that you leave ModDriver out of UC, and manually install it at the end.

Once we have the latest foray of bugs/requests/features out of the way, I plan on posting an OEM version for cooking in to the ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I installed 3.25 over 3.24 and got strange activity with my position in GMM jumping back up the road and when I stop the arrow head points North no matter which way I was headed. One time it got stuck in walking mode even though the angle of the phone should have made it driving. It stayed that way after I started moving again.

I removed GPSMod and all reg and folders and installed 3.25 again.

Still same behavior. Changed some settings, but did not seem to fix. I had the same stuck in walking mode, but this time when I started driving again it switched to driving again.

I forgot to reset logging so I'll have to do again later so I can send you the logs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lusjash:
Well, thanks for a reply. Of course I restart the device immediately after the XDA_UC finishes, and there is no GPS activity whatsoever during this couple of seconds, so i don't think it will alter anything if i install .. But anyways, I can do with a couple of manual clicks. Anyways, thanks for the great mod!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bartvdv:
Removed 3.25 completly after that i could install 3.26 with all the default parameters ( settings )

But since then no cell tower information, no update it just doesn't seem to work anymore...

And it froze quite few times mostly after getting a fix after 3 to 4 minutes

And programs like navigon and GPS sports tracker never got information even though gpsmod said it had a valid fix

Back to 3.19 which is actually included in the package that says 3.20 in post 1

now i have cell tower location again and the jump into the ocean on the equator

And since I mostly use it with gps sports tracker to impress my cardiologist but every time i go trhu a tunnel where there is no gps signal for over a minute I suddenly drove 6000 km with an average of 1683 km per hour on my bycicle ..

Ok it's impressive .. but not realistic

if only the jump back to 0.0000 N 0.0000 E could be removed i am happy

3.25 and 3.26 seem to have a simple if error ... if no fix no celltower if fix enable celltower and subsequenly freeze ... but me is not programmer ;)
