@Ace42, no I haven't tried it yet. I have my doubts about it working.

I'm thinking about just pulling the apk out of the ROM and reinstalling it.

Other than that, any ideas?

Edit: actually, if I can remove the wipe script from the ROM I'll just reflash. I tried to do it a while ago with the Android kitchen but it failed to install. Can someone help me out? I just don't have the experience.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
since I had to do a complete wipe of my Slide so my nephew could use it for the next couple of weeks, I tried the 102010 tiny Gapps on SlideMR and CR OTA and it worked on both of them
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Well I tried it and it didn't work for me. I flashed tiny gapps and upon reboot the gapps were gone. No Gmail, no Market, no Youtube. Good thing I backed it up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archie53:
I flashed the regular 10/20 gapps and they worked for me, I'm on CR MOD, maybe try the regular not tiny.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Did you get it done? I'm still trying to figure out which 'wipe' script you're talking about. In the update-script there are only 3 commands written in it for wipe.

format SYSTEM:
delete DATA:app
format DATA:

It's easy to edit that. Just open the ROM (don't extract!!), I use 7zip. Go to

CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\update-script

Click and drag that to your desktop. Use notepad or notepad++(best) to open it. Delete the line(s) you want, save it and drag it back into the ROM archive you have opened in 7zip. It will replace the file automatically so don't delete it - trust me on that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
No, I haven't yet. Looking at it again, you're right. There's no script, just those commands in the update script. Actually what I want to do is get rid of those commands and take out the radio.img. I've never messed with 7-zip and I'm using Linux Mint 10 anyway (just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 just because :D), but I digress. I'll try that with gedit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
To be clear, if I don't want the update script to do something, after opening up with text editor of some sort, in my case gedit, I just delete a line? For example, if I don't want CR_MOD to write the radio.img, I remove the .img, then go into the update script and delete the line

write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img

, correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah, gedit should work. I use ubuntu also but I'm booted into vista 64 a lot (girlfriend uses it for college *sigh*).

Anyway, you're correct. Just delete the line you want and it won't execue the command. Also, the standard archive viewer that came stock will work for exploring archives.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Ok, so here's the lines in the update-script I think I want to remove:

format SYSTEM:,
delete DATA:app, format DATA:, delete SYSTEM:xbin/busybox, delete_recursive SYSTEM:xbin, write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img

, those, with the exception of the radio image, will stop the ROM from wiping upon installation, correct? I'm just trying to get a feel for things I've never messed with.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah those would be the lines. I'm not sure why the delete DATA:app or delete SYSTEM:xbin/busybox was included in the update script. The format SYSTEM and DATA lines delete everything but oh well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
I don't know why ChiefzReloaded included those lines either. Maybe to make sure there was no problems if people didn't manually wipe. Thanks for the assist. I'll test it out on my Slide to see if it works.

Edit: Meh! Failed to install.

Failed chown chmod I didn't write it down and Failure at line 22: set_perm 0 0 0777 SYSTEM:xbin/a2sd

Restored my backup. I'll try only deleting the lines that refer to deleting system and data.

Edit 2: That worked. I deleted the lines:

delete DATA:app
delete SYSTEM:xbin/busybox
delete_recursive SYSTEM:xbin and
write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img

from the update script. It didn't automatically wipe and it didn't flash the radio, which is what I wanted to do.

And Youtube appears to work, which was the whole problem in the first place.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Good to hear:)

Those scripts are a pain sometimes. I've been messing with them and tons of other stuff trying to customize the sense rom's for myself. I just can't get the market to download any apps for some reason, it works, says my download will start shortly but nothing:confused: oh well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Ya, as I said before, I've never needed to mess with update scripts before and it's given me a bit of insight on what's going on. Again, thank you for the assistance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Why would you do that? Why would you flash tiny gapps? You're supposed to use mdpi gapps, that's what is used for every android device except the hdpi devices, like the vibrant or g2. All the gapps zip does is flash the apks. The only app I can see having an issue is the market, since google added auto update in froyo, which might have system dependencies. Correct me if I'm being a total moron here, but for the most part the version of gapps does not matter. Yoh can normally update them through the market anyway, except for the market itself of course.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Tiny Gapps are for the G1 and mt3g which are both mdpi. They are straight up Gapps whereas the regular Gapps that we flash for CM6 have extra apps like facebook and twitter. I know that Gapps are just an apk package. That's why I wanted to experiment with it.

But, I think you're right about system dependencies. There are updates for Gapps on the market that are only available for froyo.

Hello. I recently upgraded my Droid 2 to the newest firmware version from rooted 2.2 to the Deodexed version from this thread (http ://www .mydroidworl d.com/forums /droid-2-discussion/5323-t bh-mydroidworld-present-dro id-2-2-3-20-triple-threat.htm). After doing this, my experience has been bug free, except for that in the default dialer app, my keypad is shifted over one to the right. It looks like this

P 1 2

3 4 5

6 7 8

9 * 0

What can I do to fix this? Not running any themes or anything.
[Droid 2 General] leveldowen:
I had a similar problem after the 2.3.20 update too, except my keypad started with 2 and ended with some random character. All the numbers worked as they should have though if they were in the right places, so when I pressed 2, it showed up as 1, and so on. I had flash back to a previous nandroid backup I had, prior to the update and even before I had installed the 928droid Blackglass theme. After I did that, I redid the OTA update, rerooted, and all was back to normal.
[Droid 2 General] Armerad:
So what exactly are you recommending I do? Use the koush bootstrapper and use the restore from backup option?

Some of us are stuck with a flawless leaked froyo but worth a dead GPS.Finally got mines to work.Here's the steps.

1: with clockworkmod flash this stock zip.

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/stock.epic.DI18.rom.update.zip

2: boot up, then reflash froyo. Gps got a look in 6 seconds.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewZorn:
What was your before/after testing methodology?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
Flashed to 4.2 from 4.1 in which I had a stock epic rom but just rooted. 4.1 had dead gps, so I dumped 4.2 to see I'd the fix was there. Nope. Rewiped data and clear all cache on the 4.2. Did that 3 times and still dead gps. Reformatted and clear cached and dumped 4.1. Did that 3 times, and still dead gps. Many have commented to flash back to stock and reflash 4.2 afterwards. Did that with clockworkmod and gps took about 4 to 5 seconds with gps lock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Thank you! Trying this now.

Edit: Reporting in

I wiped everything, installed the DI18 update, installed froyo, and no go on the gps.

I wiped everything, installed DI18, booted and wasn't getting a get a lock (at least not quickly). So I rebooted DI18, and this time got a good lock. Then I shut down, flashed 2.2, and it works!

If anyone has trouble, make sure to boot into DI18. I did twice just to make sure I had a lock and good assistance data since the 2.2 zip doesn't wipe everything. I'm going to go back and flash my /data back now and check once again. As long as GPS still works after that, I'm set.

Thanks, SINNN.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
Tried this method and was still not able to get a GPS lock. Wiped everything x3 between flashes. Still no lock with Sprint Nav or Google Nav.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herzzreh:
This won't do ****. Read up on the bug that causes the problem and you will understand.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
Ok. If this fails like some have said.Do these steps and its guaranteed to work.

1: with clockwork data format, clear cache and clear danluk cache, then flash dl18 stock that I linked inn the 1st post.

2:boot into stock 2.1

3:Get google maps to lock on gps.

4:Shut down. Boot into clockworkmod. Format data, Clear cache,clear danvik cache. Then fo back to the first menu on clockworkmod and flash the froyo 4.2 zip file. Once flashed.Just for extra luck, stay on clockwork and do the data format, clear cache and finally clear the danlik cache.

5: Finally boot 4.2. Go to the market and get "gps status & gps toolbox" combo app thats free.

6: Turn your gps on and launch the gps status app and under settings go to clear gps cache and redownload new data.

7: launch NAV or google maps. You WILL get a lock almost under 4 seconds.

Just did these steps on my gf Epic wich had the same gps problem after rooting and flashing the first leak froyo and them flashing the 4.2 froyo.

Now she has GPS.

Bit long but guarrantee to work.Don't blame me for 500$ paper weight! Do on your own risk. I did.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
It worked! Last time I didn't do step 3...

Gmaps, GNav and Sprint Nav all worked. The real test is will it still work a few days from now after I've used it a few times... That cache bug is liable to show its ugly face.

Thanks for your help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
yup. I'm curious to see what will happen myself. But at least we know what to do I'd we need gps to work asap.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Booting into DI18 and acquiring a lock seems to be the necessary part of this. I've been flashing things all day and as long as I boot into DI18 and get a GPS lock in GPS Status, I can flash 2.2 directly over it without wiping anything before hand. Then boot into 2.2 and gps should work. Going back and flashing /data will bring back all your apps and settings and gps should continue to work as it did on mine.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moguledyouth:
This "Fix" only works for about a day or so, then it goes back to nothing / takes forever to acquire a lock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quicksand Jesus:
Just curious, I do this on mine and it seems to work.

1) Reboot the phone

2) go to Settings --> About Phone --> System Updates --> Update Profile AND PRL

3) try again

Instead of calling people names, why don't you enlighten us as to why this doesn't fix gps. And while you're at it, tell me why I get gps in 2.2 when I do it this way and no gps in 2.2 when I flash differently or try other fixes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenInsight:
If it does you could try

##GPSCLRX#

and use your MSL code (getprop from terminal and search for it) to reset the GPS which might clear the cache since the old "cold start" GPS menu code is not working.

Ill tell you one thing right now. I have 4 epics. Mine, Wife, Dad, Brother, and soon mom. This is due to corruption somewhere in a update of something. I never have had a single problem with mine. Always thought you guys where crazy. My wife just bought one. Same perfect. Loaded 2.2 still perfect. I use the hell out of it. Hers try to do a update or something in the store and I stopped it. Anyways... my dads, he never uses it so he never said anything. I went and played with it, just to see. He's ****ed! It won't even lock at all. Lol now he's pist and flipping out. So I guess there is one. But it proves its hit and miss. Something is up and should be easy to fix because its not all epics. I will try this on his phone tonight an let you know how it goes. ; )

When we got that radio update, does that include GPS?

This is the one thing that I didn't do when I loaded 2.2 on his. hmmm.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KL4V1CL3:
You'll definitely want to do that.

I haven't gotten around to it, but every since flashing Froyo my GPS doesn't see any satellites. I know it works, just don't feel like reflashing and don't really need GPS right now, I can hold out for newer releases.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a454nova:
OK... So I flashed back (like 1st post) and even re-flashed the radio. (With wipes) In 2.1 I still could not get a lock at all on his phone (my dads). I didn't know what to tell him. Sorry no GPS. I mean it would do nothing (nav would time out). Then I remembered that I messed with the GPS menu on my phone, hmmm. I went into it on his an switched it to cold. BAM! GPS baby!

Now off to 2.2 and hope it holds. I will let you know. Going to use it hard for the next day. * update> 2.2 loaded perfect, adv restored in recovery and I have one happy old man. Lol. GPS locks within sec every time now. In side 6 of 8 sats. 3 meters. Will let you know in a couple days how its workin.*

PS. GPS Status with tool, nice little program. Fun.

Q: How do you get into that menu in 2.2?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider_ak04:
I've tried this method from SINNN, thanks it's work really great. Now i can use my GPS again...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenInsight:
Assist is used for the compass and there is no reason to turn it off. It improves directional recognition.

You can NOT access the cold/warm/hot start menu in this leak. The only option you have is using GPS Tools to do a GPS-A refresh OR use this code:

##GPSCLRX#

enter your MSL number (find it with "getprop" command in terminal)

and accept the reset.

Most folks GPS didn't work (that I have heard of) unless they had it working in 2.1 stock then flashed Froyo directly over it without wipe.

I am also too lazy to do this as I don't really need GPS right now. I am waiting for the DK05 Froyo leak to release before I get all involved with everything working perfectly, including TV out, Hulu, Gingerbread Youtube, etc....

Here's an interesting twist:

Using the previously discussed method of flashing the Froyo ROM over the stock ROM with a verified GPS signal, I was able to get a fast GPS lock. A couple days later, it takes several minutes to get a lock and just in the past hour I ran GPS status for 30 minutes with no more than 1 sat lock. For the hell of it, I closed all apps and turned off the GPS. Then I ran "Cache Cleaner" for the market. Relaunched GPS Status and had a lock within 6 seconds.

I'll have to test it again, but this seems to go along with what other people have said about the GPS crapping out after a day or two. If anyone else out there is experiencing slow locks with Froyo, please try this and post your results.
