I mean the text you erase from GPS.conf but it doesn't stay saved. It comes right back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I made some changes. Can anyone suggest apps they use for gps location to test with. Twitter and 4 square can now find my location a well as google maps. also beautiful widgets works for me as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] voodoo55:
gps test

...does the trick

and that conf edit didn't work for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
GPS status
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwntwnall4u:
How about "My Tracks"
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
hmmm, I did gps.conf fix as recommended and it worked great and doesn't seem to be adding the words back so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Here is what I changed the gps config to:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

Just wanted to say thanks, using this with adw pro and its the best rom I've ever used. +1
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
I can't help you with your first two but the voicemail is an easy fix. Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > All > Voicemail Then force stop and clear the cache. It works everytime.

Have you tried swiping left to right on the Voicemail notification? I saw in the notes that they enable notification removal by swiping. I don't have CM7 installed right now or I would test it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] voodoo55:
are you sure it's actually tracking? sometimes it gets an initial location, and then locks up. you can see that with those test apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
So err, will hibernation mode be in the next build? :P I still look forward to that feature. In case some one forgot...
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Ask Cyanogen....
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Most items swipe dismiss. Not this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, I tested it using Google Navigation. It locked onto my location immediately and when I asked it to navigate it found gps immediately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
HAHA +1 that is the first thing I remove when I install a new rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
After about 5 mins now nothing works.

Edit: turning on airplane mode now eveything works
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Sure let me just give him a ring.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChiefSpoonS:
Yes I use Google weather and news widget. Free haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
This seems to work as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
When the gps is flaky turning on airplane mode and gps is flying again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
There are a lot better apps that are free for those. Setup a google reader account and you can read foxnews, cnn or what ever you want. For the weather use Fancy Widget. Its a free, sense like weather widget.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jxr94:
I flashed the latest rom after a full wipe and I don't have the voicemail app at all. The notification is still there for me lol what should I do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I am using this. It locks on instantly and hasn't broken, for me at least.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Indeed it seems to work for a short while then shut off and go back to the huge blue circle on maps(just 3g location) I rebooted and still nothing then I was using GPS test with no location showing at all then after a few minutes it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
What do you see with gps test?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I know that I was saying that it works during the entire time airplane mode is on. Which makes me believe something data wise is locking it up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Not yet anyway. Maybe it wont but mine and Lithid just stopped after a bit. Very strange
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Maybe its the Google maps 5.0 caching feature? Could be because that runs in the background sometimes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
What am I looking for on GPS Test?

It seems to be working I guess.

Says my accuracy is 32 feet.

Now 22 feet.

Still working normally.

Past 5 minutes now still working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidnjessicacruz:
Actually, I've been having the same problem. It's wierd it started a couple of days ago just occasionally but as I've been flashing the lastest roms it's been getting worse, like every 20 min after a wipe & flashing the new gapps. But I guess it didn't happen because I didn't attach a log of it :rolleyes: jk Anywho... I was being lazy & was using Clockworkmod to do the flashes. I'll try it with AmanRA to see how it goes... I'll forgo the new Gapps for now. Just thought I'd chime in to say that more than one person was having that issue. :D Awesome work though Lithid!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dabbill:
I posted a few pages back. To get GPS nav to work. I did this earlier today and it didn't give me any problems for 30+ mins of driving.

1. Turn on airplane mode

2. Turn on WiFi

3. Open maps

4. search for address or location

5. While its searching for address or location turn off airplane mode

6. Enjoy turn by turn nav.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
My gps has been working for sometime. example nothing works for gps. twitter tracks and gps test. I open maps wait about 10 - 15 secs and it finds me. now those other apps work. strange
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
While the speed of this ROM is currently pretty great, does anyone feel like things like the app drawer with LauncherPro is just slightly laggier/choppier than on 6.x? This isn't an issue at all, I'm just curious what sorts of things contribute to this (LP not being optimized for Gingerbread, other background processes hogging CPU, etc.).
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, using the fix I typed above, have been able to get gps signal immediately every time and GPS test has been running stead for 10 minutes now.

As far as I'm concerned it's fixed for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Ladies, ladies, get back on track: Hibernation mode. Now make it happen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
LP is not built for GB. Best bet for now is ADW EX. Costs a little but definitely worth it! I was always LP faithful but ADW wants my business and I can tell.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I am removing my edits and trying those now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Hmm...and you feel it's smoother? What about regular ADW that comes with the ROM? There's also the impending rewrite release of LauncherPro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Lithid, I noticed you have hboot 2.00, I have version .76.2000

Do I have any reason to upgrade? If so, how do I attempt this and what is the advantage/s of doing so?
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
I look forward to the LP rewrite but I am not holding my breath. ADW EX is fast, smooth, does more than LP pro, and it does it now.

The free version I do not believe is built for GB yet.

EDIT: I forgot to answer your question, ADW EX is MUCH smoother. Don't get me wrong, I love Launcher Pro, but after trying EX, I'm hooked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a2k:
Does not work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rstuckmaier:
The reason people told you to contact cyanogen the first time you said this is because he is the one writing the rom. Lithid is just kang compiling it for us until cyanogen thinks it's ready. This is not the place for feature requests.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
I know mate, been here since day one. Just wanted to re- spark interest in it and possibly grab the attention of a cyanogen developer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Mine came this way. and is not downgradable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
I am kind of wondering the same thing are there any performance boosts or gains by updating your hboot, like you have lithid
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Gotcha. I was hoping upgrading would make reboot times shorter or some other magic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
I know they don't release update logs but do you notice anything different on your hboot then from. 76
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
How in the world would i know. It can't be downgraded. I have no way of testing it.

I am going to bed. There were some updates and ill compile them and release it tomorrow morning, just to make sure nothing else comes in over night. Seems like the team ikes to release things at 2 am lot of times. must wake up from android coding dreams... I wish i had those skill.s
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jetdr:
You got skills Lithid no worries. I work Graves so sweet dreams!

Thanks for all you do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Leoisright:
This ROM is awesome. GPS is working perfect and smokin fast. I found my new daily driver. FANTASTIC work!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
hell yeah,, gps nav is working! Thanks Lithid!

i am happy about GPS NAVIGATION working now! yet i am having another minor issue! i followed the procedure for the new GMAPPS! so when it booted up i noticed that i did have my screen animations! and then after a while it went away! "I DID NOT UN-CHECK SCREEN-OFF" in cyanogen settings! the only thing that i did that is not out of the ordinary is restore "apps only" via titanium pro! its the little things that count for me ! so if any one here will take the time to respond with some solution i would appreciate! Other that this this rom is pretty damn stable! i notice some smaller thing,, but mostly dealing with the fact that all the apps have not been updated yet for the new platform! thank you in advance to all that would respond!:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
Did u mess with screen animations in spare parts? If so, set it to normal

[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
Ugh, I *STILL* get the phantom voicemail notification. And it looks like "Clear" doesn't remove it in CM7 yet. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
how bout this for an option!! Go into titanium back-up and just un-install the apk/voicemail! then set up a Google voice account and use this for your voice mail! i like it better cause it transcribes "for free'' in the widget and also sent to gmail in a read and playback status! this is what i did,, and i have not had phantom anything every since! lets make it even more simple ! DO NOT TRY TO USE VVM(SPRINT) USE GOOGLE ASS YOUR CARRIER IN CALL SETTINGS!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
I think that i did! I will go and check now! Thank you so very much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
Maybe you should have at least read the title of the thread in that link. Different issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
wow! JUST THAT SIMPLE! i am so use to doing that with other roms to make them fly! i did what you said and it is a WIN!! thanks bro! and i am using ADW EX so i guess that i dont need to mess with animations anymore:D:)

[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
i read it! and i just implemented what i did to get rid of that icon in status bar! so by all means,, i did address that same issue,, just with a different method/solution. once you set up google voice and change your carrier,, it give you a different voice mail number! that is what will stop any sprint provisioning PERIOD! by the way mr. smart a#@ this also got rid of the message notification as well! this is my experience!:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] drmacinyasha:
Noticed a fairly big bug:

AAC stream support is borked. Fired up DI.fm and XiiaLive, both of them drop the connection over and over for AAC/AAC-HE streams, but not MP3's. I haven't tried playing any AAC files.

EDIT: Pandora does work. Here's a logcat:

http://pastebin.com/DpUv5Cux

I started up DI.fm, switched it to AAC, tried to play for a few seconds then quit, launched XiiaLive, tried to connect to an AAC stream, quit, then launched Pandora, which played just fine. I know it's not server-side, as I can listen to the exact same streams in iTunes without a problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
In that case, you are the first and only person for whom the Google Voice worked when it comes to removing the phantom voicemail. Everyone else, including me, still has the phantom voicemail even with Google Voice selected in Call Settings.

I have used Google voice for the while and haven't had any Phantom voicemail problems after setting Google voice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MichaelMcEntire:
Ummm...I don't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jetdr:
If you didn't have it before you want have it at all. This has to do with those of use that came from a differant phone other then an Android phone. When you activate your android phone the Voice Mail has to Provision. IF there was an old voice mail (from your old phone) in the "system" you are going to get this Voice Mail Icon when you flash a AOSP type ROM. The Sense ROM's have a way of dealing with these old voice mails because they were TYPE specific built and they automatically set your phone number as the Voice mail number thus provisioning your voice mail automatically. An AOSP ROM doesn't do this, therefore the phone "sees" the old voice mail on the network and triggers the Icon notification.

Please DO not confuse this issue I am speaking of as the "text message" notification. Yes Google Voice works perfectly and it's all I use. Until I did all the things I mentioned in my guide, I always had a voice Mail Icon in the notification bar.

Sorry Lithid I was not trying to hi-jack your thread, I was just trying to help answer a post I see ALL the time with folks using AOSP Rom's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EJerVJerO:
You are asking the wrong people :) CM Team is who you need to ask about that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
I have tried this changed NTP_SERVER setting in the gps.conf file and it so far accuracy went down to 12 ft but also is working consistently and almost instantly even after 5 reboots. This was not possible before. I ran Gps status and even when it showed the sats Google maps would not find location or took a very long time. I also use Where application and it would not locate often. I also use multiple Gps apps and they didn't find sats most of the time. I made this change to the NTP_SERVER and its been great. I hope it sticks.

Also Sprint Navigation which hasn't worked ever is working like a charm after the NTP_SERVER change.

NTP_SERVER = 0.us.pool.ntp.org

So the entire file should look like this.

NTP_SERVER=0.us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

I used root explorer to make the changes and made sure the reads and writes didn't change. Keep user, group and others to read only. User gets write permissions as well.

Suggest a reboot. I also didn't set wireless networks. So standalone Gps only.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Or you could just go:

NTP_SERVER=0.us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Seems to work pretty much the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
Have you tried it yet? The NTP_SERVER change? I tried the other suggestions and it hasn't worked very well for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
So Lithid, can EVO4G make use of ext4?

Lithid:

There was some discussion of CM7 using Ext4 previously, but then that was quashed because the EVO 4G uses YAFFS.

However, I have been reading a lot about the speed benefits of using ext4 and apps in the future will be written to take advantage of it. So, Is there a benefit of setting up an ext4 on the EVO and if so, how would the phone know to transition from YAFFS to ext4? Would they conflict?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lyrical1278:
Now I'm no dev, but I am great at troubleshooting and I tend to agree with you in regards to something related to data that is causing the issue. I did the gpsconf.bin fix and my GPS is working GREAT as soon as I remove the GPS looking to Google for whatever info it is looking to Google for.

So at least, with the airplane mode fix, in case I lose GPS again, I will more than likely have a quick fix handy (both fixes being proven to work)

BUT, now my phone feels complete. (I run Evervolv's GB ROM and this fix works great).

Is it ok if I repost this there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidnjessicacruz:
Yup, rewiping & using Aman-RA fixed the random reboots. Come on Koush!
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Phones like the g2 and nexus s use ext4 for its main filesystem and it is faster than yaffs. But our problem would be converting our yaffs to ext4. It would take a good amount of hacking and we wouldn't even know if its compatible with stock setups. Ext4 would have to be enabled in stock kernels, I know its enabled in cm kernel. We should start a thread on a it in the dev forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Thanks David,

Well, it is easy to use adb to set up an ext4 on an EVO (http://thatsbadass.com/android/tag/ext4/) but the question is, does it do any good or is it worth it just to have it sitting out there in case it will eventually do some good (formatting sdcards is a pain and I prefer to get everything done at once)?

** If it doesn't hurt, I may just put it on there for grins in case I need it. I think I'll set up an ext2 with 1Ghz space and use the code in that link to create ext4. I have a 16gb sdcard so i won't miss the extra room (although 512 mb would probably have been sufficient).
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
The thing is not the sd that the g2 or the nexus s uses for ext4 its the main file system..../system, /data, ect.... That's why this hack will be so hard. I believe the galaxy s phone use this setup also. We don't know if it would even boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] terryazthompson:
I believe this involves changing the partitions on the internal nand to ext4. This is a big change on the phones and means that you could not flash back to a sense rom unless you reformatted these internal partions back to yaffs.

The link you supplied is to set up an ext4 partition on your sd card. Its completely different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
The discussion was for the filesystem not the sdcard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
I get the same information from the clock widget. It delivers news and weather.

Sent by my Evo running Pure Google.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hmm, well the forums I have read on this say that to use the ext4 filesystem you need ext4 set up on your sdcard. Of course, not being a developer I could have easily misunderstood their meaning.

So, is there any harm (or benefit) in setting up an ext4 on an EVO's sdcard?

** I see that with the latest version of Amon Ra, he let's you set up ext4 very easily in his Partition menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You said earlier that you had already done the ext4 on the sdcard and it caused issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Actually, I assumed it was causing issues when the real problem was flashing the build + gapps in the same session. It may have been causing problems as well, but even after I got rid of the ext4 the problems persisted until I flashed the build and gapps separately.

So, since the common "problem" denominator seemed to be the flashing process, I would assume the ext4 was not the issue after all.

Anyway, I'm gonna give it another shot and will report back results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
When my internal memory is starting to get full... which i couldn't even accomplish that on my mytouch3g so i doubt ill ever find the need for ext on my sdcard.

I just tested the front camera and it works. I took a picture and it save but it is upside down. Tested it twice and it did it both times. The rear camera appears to be 8MP now.

MMS Works.

GPS is doing a lot better. It found my location within 40 meters (within 10 seconds on 3G) but the pin was exactly on my house

Wifi connects up no problem. Doesn't take as long to scan and connect like the previous release.

Removed the Manage Apps option from the Menu option on your home screen

No screen off animation

[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Really weird. The first time I flashed it, after wiping data, cache and dalvik-cache and everything was stock but had one of my pictures of my son as the background. So I figured it didn't wipe clean. So I tried again flashing data, cache and dalvik-cache twice each and reflashed. Same picture is up there.
