Clock

Hi stopa

Do make a clock like this one what we can see on the motorola is very easy

what you need is a little understanding for photoshop or simila I use GIMP fulfill all purposes what you need for a phone and it`s free and the tool from Chainfire cfc_gui for both tools (gimp+cfc_gui) I make a download link underneath,if you like to use it, at first what you have to do is !!! connect you phone with you PC go in you phone windows directory and copy all MANILA FILE on you PC if you can`t find the directory on you phone than you have to go on you PC to the taskbar and klick on (tools) than on (folder options) than on (view) you will see a small windows with all kind of stuff what you have to do is tick on (show hidden files and folders) that`s it after that you will see all you files and folder, maybe you know that all anyway.OK if you got all the manila file on you PC than open it with Chainfire tool (cfc_gui) this tool will ask you where you have stored all manila files, klick on the right folder where you have copy`t the fiels and he will open all the files it takes a couple a secound,you will see many many manila files and if you klick one of them than you will see a picture ,from the file,also shown the pixel size and many more you can copy it do work on it somewhere on you PC and open it with Photoshop, GIMP o simila what`s very good is on the tool cfc_gui you can see all at one glance (the weather files the setting files the photo files the clock files ,normaly very easy to use,you can than all you altered files replace,save or copy back to the phone, if you pick a manila file from the clock than you will see all what you need copy them with cfc_gui to you PC an change what you want.

some questions? don`t hesitate to ask !!

THNX MATE You're the best. Definitely will give it a try, and Yes I know Gimp I'm using it since three years. Cheers

Finally I found time to do this clock. Font taken from www.dafont.com called sf_planetary. Looks pretty good but I would still get rid of the thin line in the middle digits. If anyone could advise I will be very grateful. Onece again BIG THNX to lumisab for explanations and posting cfc_gui. Let the force be with You
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lumisab:
Hi stopa

My advice go in cfc_gui to the clock manila files copy them do your PC opened with you GIMP and paint over the lines therafter copy the files back to the phone, that`s it
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stopa46:
That's what I've done but no result. I think that's the place where flip clock conects. Probably have to use another way, like making clock a little bit smaller so it will fit in to a half of a stock clock numbers so the line will be no more visible. Have seen something like that but with different font. Will give a try when I have more time. Thnx for quick answer
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lumisab:
It can`t be a conected place on the clock because it`s not mechanicle normally you can make the numbers in any size without the line in between I guess that you background the problem is try do make the background transperent and put afterwards the numbers in, unfortunately I can`t remember the original clock in my phone I change my clock long ago to a self made analogclock,but if you look in the forum you will see that no one has a line in the middle of the number "or neerly no one" and I`m sure it`s just a minor mistake P.S. why not try a analoglock underneath you can see 2 piture without lines one with transparent and one with white/gray background and my analogclock what I use in my Blackstone
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stopa46:
Will check it when I'll be back home. Honestly I don't like analog clocks in ppc's (a matter of taste) got one on my hand so I don't need moore :) Thnx for tip

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
I'm hoping someone can help me.

I finally think I have realized why I can't get a GPS lock with newer roms and radios. It finally occurred to me that most of you users are from Europe and from what I understand Europe uses different Sats than North America.

Anyone know how I can switch the satellites with the new radios?

Or, does anyone know where I can get the original Telus radio?

THanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stortinget:
No, same GPS satellites.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Are you sure? I recall someone I knew went to Europe with a GPS unit and had to change the region to find different sats.

If this is not the case, why can I not get a lock with the new radio older ones full wipes.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scar45:
I have a Telstra Desire A8183 (from Australia) which is on 850mhz 3G, and I'm using it in Canada. I've never had any issues obtaining a GPS lock. Only after a ROM flash, does it take maybe up to 5 mins to establish a fix, but otherwise it's near instant.

I'm using LeeDroid v1.9a with FroYo+Sense and the latest .30_2 radio ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloHimself:
What radio version are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
OK thanks, I'm using 32.43.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 with Leedroid 2.0a , I left it outside for more than 10 minutes and still get no lock. Its very strange and frustrating. I was able to get locks no problem with the stock 2.1 though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manicmetal:
No you are wrong. It all has to do with distance and line of sight. Not all gps satellites are visible everywhere on earth. Their distance can also mean that their signal becomes too weak.

On my previous phone (Htc TytN II) I had the tool quickgps which often got fubar and changed my location to US instead of NL. It was impossible to get a gps fix in that case.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stortinget:
I never claimed they were all visible in one spot at the same time, or that all of the ones crossing the US also cross Europe (some do). I said that the same type of GPS satellite is used for the whole GPS system.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I think you will find that he means it uses the same constellation of satellites - i.e. the American GPS system, and not the European Gallieo system (which isn't live yet) or the Russian Glosnass system.

The simple fact of the matter is that a GPS unit from Europe should work fine in the US and vice versa, and in the context of the original question, it is exceedingly unlikely that flashing a different radio will make any difference unless the original radio was duff in the first place.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manicmetal:
What I meant is that some tools use a predefined list of satellites to ensure a quick fix. I know this was often done on Windows mobile. If you don't have the correct list your gps unit cannot find those satellites and will not get a fix at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stortinget:
The almanac list of the satellites is beamed down from the heavens for any unwitting devices.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Well I'm at a loss guys, I Just stood outside and tried to get a lock. Used GPS toolbox and I also tried with brut maps navigation.

What would you guys suggest I do to try and rectify this problem. Let me say that stock 2.1 did work, it hasn't worked since froyo to my knowledge.

Thanks.

The GPS seems fine for my system in Toronto using Rogers.

32.43.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and Leedroid 2.0a

Note that the phone has an A-GPS (assisted GPS) which uses the mobile/cell network to assist with location. So it may be possible that it is your carrier not providing a "good" assistance service. YMMV.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
This smells rather familiar (had similar issues with my Hero ROM).

In your build.props, try the following

North America:

ro.ril.enable.a52=1

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2

ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1

ro.com.google.networklocation=1

Some of you might have better luck setting hsxpa=1. Try it and see.

Europe:

ro.ril.enable.a52=1

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2

ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1

ro.com.google.networklocation=1

Also while using GPS, if you have a data plan, enable it, even if using wifi. If you have a CM based ROM that has a proxy setting you can configure in wireless settings, hang on for a fix from CM as proxying is flakey as hell atm if your carrier uses a proxy on your APN.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboniman:
There's quite a bit of misinformation in this thread. The gps satellites are NOT geosynchronous. They are lower orbit satellites that are constantly moving relative to the surface of the earth. The satellites for North America are the same satellites as in Europe or anywhere else (notwithstanding using the Russian or EU gps system, which these phones don't.) Which satellites you connect to simply depends on which ones happen to be overhead at any given moment. The issue mentioned about changing location is simply used if you have traveled a long distance to tell the device which satellites to expect at that spot and at that moment. The device also uses your internet connection to get a faster lock on the satellites (DGPS and journal downloads) so it doesn't take so long to download the journal from the satellites themselves.

GPS problems are almost always because the device has the wrong idea about which satellites are overhead at that moment and at that spot, usually after a long trip or long power off, or because of internet connection problems, or both.

Having said that, the WAAS correction satellites are geosynchronous but you don't need them for a gps lock, just for slightly better accuracy. Don't worry about these.

Check your internet connection and leave the device outside and on for at least twenty minutes if you are having trouble getting a lock. Subsequent locks will be much faster (usually seconds) unless you travel a long distance (hundreds of kilometers) or power down for a long time, or if your device has no idea where it is due to a wipe, etc.

Edited to fix stupid acronym brainfart.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisko:
Hello,

The problem occurs if you are using the latest radio ( 30_2 ). I noticed it after flashing it a few days back.

Before flashing I had a lock in mere seconds, but after the flash, the sats went south and needed a lot of time to lock. Even had to stay outside of a car to get a lock, before continuing.

The symptoms are (if you use gpsstatus) - weak signal (low bars) on the sats, fewer sats visible and veeery slow lock even with A-GPS (data on).

Hopefully it will be fixed in the next radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboniman:
I haven't had that problem myself and I'm using the same radio. But signal strength certainly could be affected by the radio. I believe there's now a newer radio available, maybe it will improve satellite reception for those of you having this issue.

I also have the gps problem since converting to Leedroid 1.9.

It was working with Cyanogen and radio version 5.09.05.30_2

I haven't upgraded the radio.

My GPS seems to work; or tricorder is lying to me. My cellular data was not working until I put in the sp.telus.net apn but I'm suspicious if this is still not 100% and causing the problem.

Symptom: navigation hangs as "Getting driving directions". My current location shows up in the background.

**WEIRDNESS AHEAD**

I used Latitude to navigate and it seems to work that way. Tried to use the navigate link directly and still no go via that route. Retry Latitude link to navigate and still works that way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Yeah that was happening to me, I think because latitude is using HSPA data to locate your position.

Try this as your APN:

TELUS SP

sp.telus.com

port: 80

mmsc: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc

mms prox: 74.49.0.18

Also, try injecting or pushing the gps.conf i pasted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
Setting APN Type to * seems to make a big difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokalhost:
I created a new apn with the settings you provided; makes no difference in the navigation issue but it did help with receiving mms messages.

My gps is working fine.

I experimented some more and it seems that the problem is not with navigation, gps or latitude but with shortcuts to navigation.

If I open navigation and enter the destination after it is open it works fine. If I created a shortcut to a destination it fails with the error "data connection lost" after aprox 20 seconds and the screen continues to report "Getting driving directions" but does not update past that.
