[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Out-of-the-box GPS devices typically need 15 minutes to get a lock for the very first time. The whole point of A-GPS is to shorten that time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_first_fix

Of course old devices get a quicker lock than factory-new devices. The old device already has the necessary data, the new device has to start from scratch.

GPS lock in less than 30 seconds is actually impressively good. If you feel that this is too long, then you don't need GPS, you need magic.

And don't even think about returning the phone (or even complaining) before you have tried to get a fix for 30 minutes without any success. Standing still, outdoors, with a good, unobstructed view of the sky.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hah2110:
You guys can say what you want. I have had 10+ Android phones and [besides the Vibrant] have never had this bad of a GPS experience. It is slow to lock on (~10 seconds) and is constantly behind during navigation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pigs3littleones:
Seems you're the exception rather than the rule. My Euro Galaxy S and vibrant sucked regardless. NS is immediate and accurate to single digits typically. Could not be happier with the GPS on this device.

What kind of navigation software?

I found this kind of lag is the navigation software issue.

I am using Sygic Aura on HTC Desire, it is also sometimes behind few seconds than the actual situation. Then I turned off the POI display (it is useless anyway on Sygic Aura), and now it is OK (much better).

In the past, certain version of TomTom also has this kind of lag on my HTC Kaiser WM.

Hello!

One of my friends brought me an old Yakumo delta 300 GPS 2L PDA from Germany, to install a new WinMo on it.

Does anybody know how to do it? I really know nothing about doing such things, and all I could find about updating such a device was a german forum, with outdated links.

It would be very important for me! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr.zeus:
to build a 6.5rom for those devices u should make many files

one of the most importantes is NK.EXE that u can easily put that in ur rom with new Ervius kitchen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fonix232:
Problem is that I don't know how to do so. I have no experience in Windows Mobile, that's why I am asking for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CRACING:
Its not so simple since you aren't exprenced with Windows Mobile devices. Its highly possible to brick the device easily if something goes wrong.

First the device should be CID unlocked so that you can flash custom ROMs.

Second you will need to find custom ROMs for it or else if you want to cook, you either need to get a stock ROM of it so that you can dump it, replace its files (i.e SYS and XIP), recook it using suitable kitchens, finally flash it but its not over. There are many thing to do. And I say again its possible to brick the device if something goes wrong.

I would better suggest to stay with what ever it has. :)

Since HTC is very popular, we research lot and minimize risks before doing anything but your device seems very old and not known much so its risky job. :o

As Mr.zeus said, NK.EXE is just a part or file of/in the kernel aka XIP. You will need many things to cook a ROM. Stock ROM of your device would be good for start. :)

Thanks...

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fonix232:
Well, thank you very much.

Then looks like, I am shot here :S

Can you please give me any navigation system what should work on this device, and has maps for Hungary, Germany, Austria?

[Motorola Droid Android Development] bmx24:
in not new to android by any means and i have no idea what that is lol wana explane and maby i could help u out i feel so noobish lol
[Motorola Droid Android Development] add119:
OpenGL ES 2.0 was publicly released in March 2007[1], eliminates most of the fixed-function rendering pipeline in favor of a programmable one. Almost all rendering features of the transform and lighting pipelines, such as the specification of materials and light parameters formerly specified by the fixed-function API, are replaced by shaders written by the graphics programmer. As a result, OpenGL ES 2.0 is not backwards compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1.

aka 3d and hd games play Opengl ES
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bmx24:
O ya ok now I know what u mean lol but its an api then it should be there I don't y not
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Wagz513:
It works! This is fun, currently playing with this ROM paired with P3Droids lv250 1200mhz kernel. Runs extremely well all things considered.

Aside from the the bugs mentioned the only other issues I've found are

- Two seemingly identical stock gallery and email programs installed. Neither of which can be uninstalled via app manager.

- My computer does not see the phone when plugged in via USB and phone does not ask to connect to computer. I have not done anything with ADB yet.

- The phone will auto rotate horizontal when the keyboard is opened but will not rotate back when closed in some applications.

Ill post/edit if something new comes up
[Motorola Droid Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Hi there. I'm the guy that put this little thing together. :) I did not build this myself/from source. I just happened to take a few things that were working on various builds and glue them together. It does play 3D games and what not, but since the accelerometer does not work, it doesn't really do a whole lot of good. I'm not sure exactly what OPENGL version it has, or how to check it, but if you point me in the right direction, I'm sure I can figure it out for you. (Found this in the Build.prop: # The OpenGL ES API level that is natively supported by this device.

# This is a 16.16 fixed point number

ro.opengles.version = 131072)

As far as the issues, they have been well documented in the original thread on DroidForums. Just to break them down for you though...

Broken:

1)GPS (which also causes browser and any other location finder service associated apps to close when attempting to locate.) You can use a different browser, or set home page to something other than Google.

2)Accelerometer. I'm assuming it is because there are some new sensors included in Gingerbread. I thought it might have something to do with the akmd file, but I've tried a few different ones with no luck...

3)USB Storage. This is an easy fix with an app in the Market place called Multi Mount SD. They have a free and paid version. Dual Mount also works. These are widgets and must be used as such.

As far as the "duplicate" apps, they are different versions of the same app and are easily removed with Titanium Backup.

Most likely, this is not your every day rom. I have been using it, because it's fun to run something you had a hand in making, but it's not considered stable. With that being said, it's the easiest to use rom that we have available and no other Motorola phones really have anything else better, so enjoy what we have. ;)

Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Insert whatever gives you warm and fuzzy feelings here.

PS. I am not a dev, so really can't trouble shoot anything too effectively. I've been trying different things to fix the issues, but have not had much luck. I was hoping some devs on DF would pick up on the interest in this project and be able to figure it out, but not much luck so far.

PSS. Definitely suggest flashing another kernel once you set the original rom up and do a nandroid. A lot of the 2.2 kernels work. I've had the most luck with Slayher interactive ones. Try a 1200 one. It's pretty quick...
[Motorola Droid Android Development] ilya11g:
Can you port it to Milestone please?

The Oldy Europe needs help because of Motorola's #&#$%!*^ support...

Software is a Dark Side of Motorola.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
No can do, sorry. I'm not a dev, so I wouldn't even have the slightest idea how to do such a thing. Plus I dunno anyone with a Milestone to play with. From what I understand, it is quite a pain in the neck due to the differences between the GSM and CDMA.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] add119:
Bro i used this it work but the camcorder isnt working and it kick me out of the browser.

Camera works

but it feel like 2.2 os with some add on with 2.3 os.

When will the hacker get a stable 2.3 os with full feature from 2.3 os???
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Wagz513:
It's fun to see whats up and coming and as long as it works well enough to show off I would call this a success! My roommate with his Fascinate still on 2.1 is peeved haha.

Thanks for your work!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Not sure about the camcorder. Mine works for me. The browser thing has been discussed many times on all Gingerbread threads. You can't go through the browser's regular home page because location services is not working. Internet works if you:

A) Change the home page to something other than Google.com

B) Get a different browser.

C) Go through the Google Search Box.

It feels like it is 2.2 with some add-ons, because that is exactly what 2.3 is. It's not a major OS revision. Most of the work is behind the scenes dealing with memory management, speed, and such. If it's not faster for you than 2.2, that's odd (if you have not flashed a new kernel with this, highly recommended). There won't be a fully functioning rom till someone is able to figure out how to get some of the proprietary drivers rewritten to work with this boot.img. Not exactly a task for a beginner. Motorola certainly is giving any handouts, so be happy with what ya have. ;)

There are people working on it though, you just have to be patient. It's not something as simple as, "Oh, I'll just add this or that file and everything magically works."

I'm glad some of you are enjoying it though. Blackdroid's team is working on an Alpha. Still broken accelerometer with half working GPS. Hopefully in the next week or 2, he'll push some more stable builds out. Until then, just use this to show off and have a back up of your favorite stable rom. Take care...

Hey man I think you should get yourself the CM7 rom and get the stuff you need to make this a perfect rom, in CM7's version for the D1 GPS and accelerometer work perfect! and it also has the tv animation when the screen turns off.

Id love to see this rom working 100%

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Naked Sam:
Hey, Im using steinman's gingerbread rom (the one with gapps) which, from my understanding, is basically just this one with gapps. So its worked fine and everything runs flawlessly but all the sudden my market wont work. It worked fine for a while but just a lil bit ago it crapped out on me. Itll open fine and I can search for apps and whatnot, but if I select to download an app it will just bring up the download icon in the notfication bar for a second and disappear. AND every now and then Ill get a funky 'Unable to sign into Google Talk' error. You wouldnt happen to have any words o' wisdom, woud you?

Works well with LFY-1200-1225MHz kernals combined with SetCPU tweaking. Had a boot issue with the 1250MHz kernal but I believe it was attributed to a bad moto charger causing havoc. Will Try again. Scored a 1500+ with Quadrant Standard.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] A2Aegis:
This is just a nitpick thing, but in the Gingerbread ROM I tried (GPA12), there is a slight pause before the Droid wakes up after hitting the power button. Does this happen in all of the current GB ROMs, or just this one?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] :
flashing a faster kernel will remedy this. i recommend raidzero's 1000mhz lv kernel: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/raidzero/124467-kernels-low-voltage-2-6-32-9-a.html

also, set the min sample rate to -1 and the governor to interactive (raidzero's kernel defaults to interactive anyway, but if you've got an app to control cpu settings, make sure it "agrees" with it by making sure to run it on interactive. that should fix you right up! :D

Works great on DK28.. even with a modified PRL for VZW 3G roaming makes it better. Sprint 3G sucks in my area, I'm lucky to get 70-80 kilobits. Most of the time its 20 or so.

I read in another thread that using this a lot will get your account cancelled.

Is this true? If so, please include an info source (link) if possible.

I get rather crappy signal while I'm at home, so I'm interested in this app, but I'm usually using voice calls while I'm at home, so I don't want to get myself canceled for roaming during 90%+ of my voice calls.

I got a letter from sprint a while back saying that I was roaming too much. I contacted Sprint and he said that there wasn't anything listed on my account from roaming and that I could do it as much as I wanted, just not to go crazy on the data.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wizard Knight:
sprint advertises unlimited voice roaming. You'd have to look it up, but I believe there is a 2gb roaming cap on data.

my apartment gets no signal, so use this app to force roam whenever I'm home. I have a wireless router so I almost never use data while roaming. Never got anything from sprint regarding roaming
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGreg:
I'm sorry if I missed your email, I try to respond to everything I get.

Roam Control does work for some people on US Cellular, but it has caused a few to get stuck in roaming, which is why I advised against using it...I didn't want people getting upset.

However, someone recently pointed out a solution if you get stuck in roaming:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12776933&postcount=4

As for other people mentioning issues in this thread, the app works well most of the time with Samsung phones, but sometimes there are hiccups. Feel free to send me an email if you see anything out of the ordinary. These sporadic issues are pretty specific to Samsung phones (not HTC) since the app works differently depending on the phone.

Thanks!
