I appreciate your trying to 'help' someone with a problem (in reality your post didn't help anyone or point them in a right direction) but that's what xda and the community is all about. True our phones are surpassed they're stock limitations but once again that's what the community is about. We try and lift those limitations with modding and developing. And actually video chat be it one way or two way. I have a 9 month and sometimes I just want to see him live on video when he's not around. So please if its not helpful and its a matter of opinion, its best to keep it to yourself.

And modded apks are never good? What would you call superuser? Rom manager? And netflix hack works flawlessly. O_o.

It wasn't really a problem it was a question and I answered it...

A community you say? Then we are entitled to state opinions to questions related to an modded apk, which again it was not a question related to having issues with this particular rom.

Now some may take your response up there arse but please do not jump and attack other members.

Once again I stated the modded apks aren't good for our phones, yes they work and do all kinds of fancy and neat things that WE all enjoy and like, but those modded apks makes our phones run processes constant, which makes our CPU run harder and make our battery run hot causing board damage..

Sorry I don't mean to be or sound like a douch..

Fyi Getting random reboots on 132...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
Its because landscape lockscreen doesn't work and it causes random reboots (I've experienced these) ill will be fixed in the next released nightly.

Did anyone find a fix for wi-fi? It drives me insane! I got the text message from T-Mobile 2 months in a row for using too much data. Last night, I tried to use wi-fi to watch some YouTube videos. Wi-Fi connected, the status turned from white to blue (I'm using the CyanBread that comes with the ROM) and the YouTube video started playing for a minute. Then it said there was an error and to tap to restart the video. I tapped and it said that there was no network connection! I looked at the status bar and wi-fi was still connected and blue. I went to the speedtest app and tried to do a speed test. It got stuck when it was measuring ping.

Is there a certain type of security I'm not supposed to use on the router? I was hoping when HTC released the drivers, wi-fi would work but it doesn't. Wi-Fi works 100% in CM6 and all Sense ROMs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mojoffdawal:
It doesn't work for me if my router is set up to send out N signal. I've set it up to broadcast B and G only and it's worked flawlessly since. Good luck, I know it can be a pain.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
Man, I can't give up N. With B/G I got max 10 mbps on my laptop but with N/G, I get up to 20 mbps. :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
I have wi-fi problems and I dont even have an N router I have the WRT54G. I never had wi-fi problems on the stock rom.

A fix for wi-fi. All credit goes to ASASlide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Been on 134 for 16 hours.

This seems to be one of the more stable nightlies in the 2.3.4 batch. I have not had a single reboot when toggling wifi and battery life is around 55% after 13 hours of use.

GPS still takes a long time to lock. I have used GPSstatus and GPSfix. While these apps help I am still a long ways off from the GPS performance I was getting on 7.0.0 RC3.

Cheers
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
If you know how to zip up roms then you should dissect the 7.0.0 RC and Copley the GPS files to the new nightly and zip it up and flash see if it works
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Interesting. I'm comparing CM7.0.0-RC3 to a recent nightly and CM7.0.0-RC3 has libgps.so in lib, the latest nightly does not....can anyone touch on why this is?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
I haven't really looked into them but I'm guessin that's the only lib file missing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I just created a zip with the Cm134 nightly. I added the libgps.so file in and the zip installed fine. I am going to do a bit of testing and see if my lock time improves. I'll update shortly...

UPDATE:

I just did some testing and I was able to get a GPS lock within 5 seconds. Huge improvement compared to the >1min I was experiencing. I will do some more testing and update with the outcome.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
Sweet maybe we can do the for wifi problems, that some members have..

Edit: nevermind there's already a fix
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I believe ubermario already created a wifi thread that extracts files from earlier cm7 or cm6 releases. Im going to do some more testing before i post. My wife has a slide that ill try this out on as well. So your gps works fine?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
True but it is from the salsa slide ROM. Maybe try the GPS files from there?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crazysohc:
Well I'm still on nightly 132, GPS works fine..

I remember when I was making roms for the original mt3g, often times I forgot some vital files for libs, and such.. since there was so many files, some would not zip and got left out and I never checked, so this could be the case for the nightlies having different problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
Please share if it works. thats the reason why i went back to aray 2.2. i needed navigation working and could never get a lock when i needed it. youd think out of 130-some nightlies thered be a final build by now but what do i know.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I went home and tried this on my wifes phone. GPS still look 30 seconds to lock. I did some testing with my phone again on the way to work today and GPS lock took over 30 seconds. So I believe that my initial results were a fluke. The more I thought about the more I realized that if libgps.so is not in the recent build there is most likely nothing calling/utilizing it....

I do however believe that with some more knowledge something like this could work. I'm going to try pulling in more GPS files from 7.0.0 RC3 and see if I can get this thing working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Ok, this time I pulled in the entire system/lib/hw folder as well as the libgps.so file to the 134 nightly. I got a GPS lock in ~10sec.

Does anyone have any interest in testing this?

I am struggling with this because it seems that once you get a lock, subsequent locks come quicker. So since I had a lock on the way to work this morning I'm not sure what is assisting in my GPS speeds, the previous lock I had or this zip.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
i can test, im off work today. i was going to try and do the same thing as you but couldnt find the libgps.so file...i looked in system/lib and didnt have one in 7.0.3.

134 Nightly w/GPS files from 7.0.0-RC3

Here is 134 Nightly wGPS files from 7.0.0-RC3.

I took libgps.so and lib/hw from the 7.0.0-RC3 and copied them into the 134 nightly.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27640834/GPS2.zip

I have been wiping cache and dalvik cache just to make sure nothing from the old GPS files is still being used.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
cool, d.ling now. ill play with it for a little bit today and see how it works. ill get back with you.

update: with gpsfix i got a lock in 25 seconds...although it showed i was in my driveway. locks after that took about 3 seconds. i have some errands to run later so ill test gps and navigation while im out and about.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marty22877:
i just tested it on my end and no dice. i am inside, however it did work way back when
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Are you saying that inside a building you are not able to get a GPS lock?

This is to be expected. Please test outside with a clear view to the sky.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
I can turn my wifi fix thread to a gps and wifi fix thread if this works. There will be credit of course. Just a thought if you want to keep the forum a little neater and beginner friendly
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Once/if I get some concrete evidence that this actually improves GPS lock times while not adversely effecting anything else I would have no problem with adding this to your Wifi thread.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
ok, i had mixed results. navigation worked when i was headed to gamestop. gps fix locked almost immediately as well when i was sitting in the parking lot. i went to the mall and gps fix took about 20 seconds to lock on. i then map searched the nearest t-mobile store while i was driving and attempted turn by turn navigation and i could NOT get a lock. i went to t-mobile (wanted to get a new SIM card). got a new sim and searched for a park near my gf moms house (while driving), navigation locked almost immediately and worked fantastic. again tried gps fix at her moms house locked in about 15 seconds....so it seems better, i guess. haha.

oh ya, also, after i left her house i searched my location as i was driving down the highway and it showed exactly where i was and showed me moving down the highway.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] claib:
Before this fix it would take 1-2 minutes for gps to lock on, and now it is less then 5 seconds on all three occasions I tested it today. I'm a believer...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NexusSlide:
works perfectly for me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] marty22877:
works for me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Good to know, thanks for the feedback.

Anyone should be able unzip the nightly i provided, extract the libgps.so and the hw folder, unzip a CM7 rom of their choosing, and place the extracted files in there (overwriting the hw folder).

How is battery life for those using this test nightly? Was 134 just poor in general for battery life?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] claib:
battery drained faster then normal, I am using droning child kernel with smartass govener and noticed a noticable drain :(

Been using all day and noticed CPU seems to stick to the maximum frequency.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
hmm wow. i just noticed that too. i even put it on conservative and it still showed 825.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NexusSlide:
same here even with different kernels. For now I just use SetCPU to set up profiles for screen off, less than 30% etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
So the consensus seems to be that porting the older GPS files in does work, however there is excessive battery use which is most likely from the CPU running at max the entire time.

Are there any experienced devs who can shed some light on what might be going on here? Why there is not libgps.so in recent nightlies?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
could this be a problem with setcpu??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Probably not, I have not been using setcpu recently.

Nightly 142 issue

Hi all, I rarely tether since I usually opt for wifi hotspot instead but I tried to use tether today and would get a reboot every time I tried to enable it. Not running any other script or kernel and not s-off. Just throwing it out there. Not a big issue for me but it might be a bug or something, just sayin'.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Make sure you are not running anything off the sd card that is used by the system, such as a theme or so. That will do it everytime.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
it will do what everytime?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] claib:
I think it has something to do with whatever kernel one flashes, I tried the newest nightly without flashing drowning child or miguels kernal and was able to get the frequencies to change, flashed with both of those kernels and it would get stuck at max frequncies.

Edit: nevermind seemed to work at first but unable to duplicate
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
ya. its not setcpu. and its not the kernels bc ive tried drowningchilds and miguels.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
The wifi sleep policy is tricky to find. Choose Settings, then wireless & networks, then wireless networks. Once you are there, press the menu button (you know, the one with three lines on top of each other), select advanced. You should know see the wife sleep policy (you can select, when screen turns off, never when plugged in, and never). I chose never. Hope that helps.

I think he meant whoever hacked the site was the idiot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
So I'm guessing that the devs from Google and HTC don't consider what we do as "vandalism"? As if no dev had ever bricked or burnt out a device.. your logic is flawless. I understand that your angry because you didn't get your daily nightly to download and flash due to these "hackers" but all hacking is "frowned" upon by someone. Let's leave the flaming to other communities. I wouldn't be surprised if those "idiots" are xda members.

For those having trouble with GPS. I am getting good GPS performance out of the 197 build. I have just got an app called GPS aids that seems to have completely resolved my gps issues.

Is anybody getting "Missing shared library" errors with the newest GAPPS when trying to install certain apps from the market?

I can't isntall GPSfix or Weatherbug.

Are some files missing from the August GAPPS?

Also, when trying to update netflix or Google maps I am getting an error

"Error dowloading "google maps". There is insufficient space on the device."

I am using custom mtd partitions 140/40/285

/dev/block/mtdblock3 140.0M 139.1M 960.0K 99% /system

UPDATE:

I have google maps installed but I did not see it under my apps. I uninstalled it and when I tried to re-install it I got an error about insufficient space. I have close to 100mB free.

I reverted back to the June GAPPs. This seems to have fixed the missing shared library error, however I am still getting the error related to the device being out of space. Any ideas?
