I changed one thing for gps on 1.2.4, I will revert back to part of 1.2.3 and keep the kernel and see if that helps. If not, I will roll back all of it to 1.2.3 specs with the 1.2.4 kernel and test that as well. Don't worry, we will squash it.

Edit: RC3 appears to be FTB. Working on it now.

Edit: RC4 working, sats in seconds. ;) It was a problem with the GPS mod. I'll have to speak to crypted about it. Uploading RC4 now. Thank you all for your support and reports of bugs! Without you guys, this ROM wouldn't be what it is now. :)

Rolled back the GPS update, let's try this again... ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pumpiron579:
DL now, will report my findings, if any
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
So far, I've gotten good results from myself and bdaman both. He also reported faster GPS lock. I'm thinking this will be the next release. Also, the interactive governor in the kernel is freaking awesome. :) Definitely one of my favorites.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
I will suggest that a battery stats wipe in cwm and then a couple of discharge/full recharge cycles to ensure correct battery percentages.

Updated OP, updated ROM Manager, and literally before I could even check it on RM, it already had 1 download started! :) It seems like people have been waiting on this update for a while lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pumpiron579:
Is the DL for the new rom on the first post? and is it the same as RC4? I have RC4 on my SD card ready to flash. Or is a newer one on Rom Manager?

Hi. New to Inspire. 1.2.4 is great.

Although its been more than 15 mins outdoors and I haven't gotten an initial GPS lock
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnye7t:
TUN working here on 1.2.4

GPS working great also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Same here, no GPS after trying multiple times. GPS Status app show none at all with 0 day AGPS age. Longest I waited was 30 minutes & not a hint of any bars.

12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M radio. (1st post says U not P but zip appears same as what I used.) Upgraded from ClearDroid_1.2.12_Stable_RC2 which had super fast GPS lock.

Also, I get Titaniun Backup force close on bootup that wasn't there before upgrade to 1.2.4.

Thx

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
Is the ti bu error you are getting while restoring previous apps / settings, or backing up new ones?

And while flashing the radio with h boot, did you flash it more than once? Just trying to make sure all the small common issues are not the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Is that the 1.2.4 from the OP? The first (Bleeding Edge) 1.2.4 did not work for me either. Get the RC 4 from #1530 or better yet the one from the OP. You also may need to remove your case. It can attenuate the GPS signal.

The U or P does not matter. The hsxpa setting determines what letter appears in that spot.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Update Titanium Backup in the market, and also clear its data/cache in settings > applications.

There are a lot of things that can cause GPS issues, so it appears it is time for a FAQ. I will get to work on one when I get to work this morning lol. :)

Also, next in line for update is the ModPack. I do believe I promised a blue gradient version that I need to release...

Edit: Updated Frequently Asked Questions

Edit 2: Added Blue Gradient version of the modpack, need someone to test that it works though. :p

[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Holy cow too many replies but thanks all replies below.

bdaman80: I wasn't doing a backup or restore or even trying to use titanium backup. It was simply booting up. As far as radio, it had been working fine for months with 1.12_RC2 both GPS & no TB errors. I don't recall if I flashed radio more than once but it had been working until I put 1.2.4 on. Hadn't tried flashing radio again as didn't figure that was needed but I can to see if it makes a difference.

39FarmallM: The 1.2.4 I used was from OP a couple hours before I posted named ClearDroid_1.2.4_Stable.zip with files dated 10/6/2011 1:16am but had not tried the RC one from the post you listed. I tried with & without the case (just a hard plastic back shell by Case-Mate) and didn't help. GPS worked great with 2.12 RC2 (and stock) with the shell on btw.

ClearD: OK I'll try updating the titanium backup from market. I had already tried clearing the apps settings/cache & then an uninstall but even uninstalled I still get the error. Fingers crossed market install works. Thanks for the FAQ, I'll peruse that as well. In terms of task killers etc, I assure you I have none and don't use one unless it came with the ClearDroid rom. Heck I barely install any apps let alone install a taskkiller etc. Whole reason to use your rom is to have it as close to stock as possible without dealing with crapware pre-installed by ATT or the need to muck with things to have it just work which has often been the case with many roms I've tried. I can list out everything I've installed if helpful but it is the basics like Google Voice, GPS Status type stuff & nothing exotic.

To be clear the process was:

1. Had working 1.12RC (no TB error on boot & GPS fix was almost instant)

2. copied ClearDroid_1.2.4_Stable.zip to phone via USB

3. Booted into clockwork & backed up

4. Chose install zip & picked ClearDroid_1.2.4_Stable.zip

5. Waited for install then after it was completed chose restart

6. Sat at boot screen forever. When it finally booted had the titanium backup error

7. Turned on GPS & went into GPS status & sat it in window sill I always test at. 1/2 hour later not a single bar.

8. Shut down & took out battery

9. Powered on & repeated 7 w/o case & still no signal after waiting 45 minutes.

Thanks all for the responses. Will try the suggestions, read the faq & post back.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Wow, now that's detailed and thorough!

I didn't see where you wiped cache and dalvik cache in your list. Did you just miss putting it in the list?

Sent to a tower near you using XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Very thorough reply! Sometimes it takes a new Rom a couple of days to settle. The GPS on the Inspire is... let's just say... fickle. At best.

It never seems to work the same for anyone, and for some, it just doesn't work at all, and nobody really knows why. Without a changed Radio or RIL, there shouldn't be any reason for it not to work anymore at all... So at a certain point, your guess is as good as mine.

I'm guessing if it still doesn't work, it is that the phone thinks it's somewhere it isn't, for some unknown reason, and is looking for the wrong satellites and will sit there until it finds the right ones. Try going outside in open air, as sometimes buildings can obstruct GPS signal. :)

Edit: And case-in-point, my own Inspire is now sitting in the window with 0 sats for 2 minutes lol. Sometimes first lock takes a little while. Just the nature of the beast sometimes, it seems. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
UPDATE: All fixed. :)

Not sure which were the magic was but I did:

1. Clear cache and dalvik cache in clockwork. (Didn't help at this point as still had both problems when I tested)

2. Installed the radio again using the ZIP I had used a couple months ago. WOO HOO! GPS lock in ~ 4-5 seconds. Still had TB error.

3. Updated TB from market. No more error on boot. :)

So in summary no 39FarmallM I hadn't done cache and dalvik cache before but not sure it made a difference although can't say for sure. Suppose I should get into habit of doing it just in case.

* Seems for some reason install of the radio again was needed to fix GPS but not sure why since it was same version & was working great before.

* Update of titanium backup seemed to do the trick to stop the force close on boot but not sure why. (Don't even use it)

Oh and yeah 39FarmallM & ClearD, one thing people can't fault me for is lack of detail or words. :D

@ClearD: I hear ya on the GPS getting confused on location but I thought that is what AGPS was for & why I always open GPS Status before maps/navigation if it has been awhile since I last used it. Definitely one of life's mysteries for me as I've had hit/miss GPS with 20+ smartphones I've used over the years which varied with roms/radios/procedures & why once I get something working I rarely update again. lol

Btw I now get GPS lock anywhere in my house with or without the case in 4-6 seconds. (EDIT: Ok I lied. I found a few spots it is taking 10-15 seconds. lol But at least it shows SOME bars almost immediately where before there were no bars at all no matter how long I waited.)

Thanks for the efforts, I'll thank your posts. :)

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I do ;) It is because the version on your device was lower than the current one in the market, which could have occurred because TiBU updated since the release, as they update nearly every other day lol. That would mean that your dalvik and cache data would be present on your phone for a version of the app that wasn't yet present on your phone, as you hadn't updated it from the market. Does that make sense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Hmm suppose. Might be a drawback to including it with the ROM. ;) I guess from now on if I update ROM I'll make sure all apps are updated in advance & clear cache/dalvik just in case. But I rarely update if things are working OK due to issues like this. The biggest thing I was hoping for was to see if accidental answer/hangup was fixed since it is annoying to respond to a call as you are pulling it out of your pocket and that didn't happen with the other roms I had used before or at least not that I recall. Unfortunately the only way for me to narrow down is to switch between roms & do lots of testing & been dreading that. lol

Btw afa the GPS thing, is it possible the ROM is ignoring or not using AGPS data? I guess I can test if I wait a couple weeks.. At this point I'm likely gonna leave well enough alone unless something big comes up.

Thx

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] vikdmon:
What was the radio you had used couple of months ago? Was is the stock GB ATT radio or the one posted in the OP?

UPDATE: Cleared Cache and dalvik, reinstalled radio. Didn't work right away indoors by the window. Installed AGPS MOD from Crypted, that did the trick. Getting 7 sats indoors, phone placed by the window. Will test outdoors tomorrow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
:P The ROM has Crypted's AGPS Mod already built in...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:

[HTC Inspire 4G] vikdmon:
Good to know.. I guess that reinstall of the radio may have done it, maybe didn't kick in the first time. The thing is I am coming from stock GB 2.3.3 with stock AT&T radio and GPS was working. My question is that is there any difference between stock GB radio and the one specified in the OP?

Btw, AT&T hotspots is still lingering in 1.2.4. Not sure if that's considered bloat. Removed it using titanium bkp.

Thanks for all the work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
Please do not remove ATT Hotspot. The app useful in connecting to ATT Wi-Fi networks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yeah... Without that, you don't get free WiFi at McDonald's, so I left it in lol.

The radio should be the same. My best guess is that maybe enough time went by that the ephemeral data from the satellites finally downloaded. But I'm not sure...

As soon as I walked outside yesterday, mine picked up sats and a 9-foot lock immediately, while it wouldn't indoors. Very odd indeed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] larapr:
Currently Testing this new Version, First GPS was about 10 min while driving to work this morning, after that was like 20-30 seconds (indoors) while I was on my break inside a cafeteria. Currently testing other features, at the moment the only thing that didnt work upon set up was the HTC sense sync, non of my contact of messages synced and they have never failed until now, however it might be due to i came from testing a completely different ROM, not sure cause im not an expert but thats what i Think. Keep up the great work ClearD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Never touched HTC Sense app from stock gingerbread... That shouldn't be happening, but the Sense website HTCSense.com has issues frequently. You might try waiting a day or so and trying to connect again. I don't use it anymore, because one time I used it, it started sending old (several months) MMS that I received from friends BACK AT THEM. It wasn't fun trying to explain to ex-girlfriends why I was sending photos to them that were sent to me months prior. It was an error on HTC's side and I am not sure how to fix it. :( But the best possibility I can think of is that Sense is having issues. Also though, sometimes full Sense sync just takes a while lol.

By the way, for those of you that used it (all 12 of you), did that stock rooted PD98IMG.zip that I made work? I never got a single piece of feedback from it...

EDIT: I'm also going to look at the official desire HD 3.0 MMS.apk in the next build as well, since the one we're using is a port, I believe lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
So far so good with 1.2.4 ROM except for google maps. It's been downloading update for over 24 hours. All my other apps updated successfully from market but google map is stuck on "downloading update". Anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Cancel the update, then update again manually. It'll work. I don't really know why it did that... I might need to re set those updates as system only and update them in ROM releases...
[HTC Inspire 4G] larapr:
:( definetly not fun, Ill check it later...
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
Another issue with 1.2.4 ROM; tethering app is no longer working. I am talking about the 3rd party tethering app not the stock app. It's force closing everytime I run it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Once again, another issue I'm not having personally lol. Still works for me... Did you try clearing its data and cache?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
Yes, I did clear its data and even rebooted the phone but no luck. Here is how it happened: I accidentally launch the stock app which we all know doesn't work. After getting the error about me needing to contact ATT to enable tethering, I closed the app and launched the third party one. That was when the app started force closing when requesting super user access. After force closing, I get the message "unable to start tethering, is your device rooted?"
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
Never mind. I fixed the tethering issue. It was super user process that was force closing not the actual tethering app. I cleared the data of super user app and all is golden!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Good deal. I'm very glad you figured it out and even more glad you posted the solution here for others to learn as well! :)

I am going to try to create a new build tonight, I have a lot to add lol. Bdaman is also working on a new kernel build very soon as well, I believe. :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
This one's been there since before FroYo was even a glimmer in a developer's eye. :)

I honestly believe it has to do with AT&T's network sending the messages. I am guessing it times them as they are sent and received, and sometimes the timing may be off depending on which tower you are on. When switching between towers (as cell phones often do), it might place some similarly-timed texts out of order.

That is a complete guess, but it is the only thing left that makes sense to me. Even Windows Mobile had this problem on my local AT&T network.

Btw, just made 2 test builds... no-go. Will keep working tomorrow, after a good night's sleep.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
ClearD,

Once you get your computer running, I downloaded, and zipped the linux usb flash driver installer. So you can run it on a flash drive until you get a third hard drive. It isn't as fast as having it on a hard drive but it is a lot (A LOT) faster then running it on virtual machine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Sorry to hear that, ClearD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
It's all good, I'm almost operational again. Lol I let xp install while I slept. ;) and I'll check it out mudknot :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I got xp reinstalled, now downloading a newer version of ubuntu, as it turns out the other version that I had downloaded wasn't good for dual booting xp. Anyways, back on topic, the next version of this, I'm also moving several apps to the data folder. Apparently to change the splash screen, I need ENG S-off, which I'm not willing to do yet. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
You actually located the splash screen, is it on its own separate partition like the radio. If that's the case you don't need eng s-off you will have to flash it as an image zipped and labeled as an update image the PD.zip. You'd need to make an update script as well.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
It's part of the bootloader image, from what I can tell. I'm not that great at PD images yet. :( haven't actually made one of my own.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
It works the same way as flashing. You could actually rename your Rom to the file name and when you boot into hboot it would recognize it and you can flash it from there since it has the update script. It would work the same way with a radio or a splash screen you would just have to find out where exactly the spalshscreen.img is located.

Sent from skynet using XDA Premium Resistance App
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Therein lies the problem ;) I haven't been able to locate the image yet. To change it, I've only seen Fastboot used, through a PC. The commands are something like

fastboot flash splash1 splash.jpg

Edit: Also, 1.0.4 is uploading now for beta. Moved some apps (gmail, maps, flash, etc) over to /data/apps so that they can update via market. Should be helpful. Flash and all of them are also updated to the latest versions, I believe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
the easiest way to flash a splash screen is with he_theone 64 splash flasher. All you do is select the bmp you want flashed and hit go. His thread is in the DHD themes elegant blues theme.

Its in the middle of the first post.

Just make sure you make the bmp 480X788. I made one in photo Shop.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I'll try it, but the last DHD one I tried didn't work. It just failed... :p

Edit: Same error, .NET framework unhandled exception error. I have both 3.5 and 4.0 versions of the .NET Framework on this machine, so I don't think that's the issue... though I am running Vista 64-bit, so that might have something to do with it. Vista is to windows what the Virtual Boy was to Nintendo.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Did you do a wipe before installing? Also, sometimes restoring EVERYTHING through Titanium Backup will cause strange issues like this... Just took a picture and nothing like that for me yet. I'm uploading 1.0.4 (for beta testing) as I type this, you might try full wiping and installing this version. :)

I like it! Still can't get it to flash on this computer though... :(

What I did was extract to the desktop and the run the splash flasher. It has to be a bmp 480x788. If not you will get an error. I'm on windows 7 so i run the tool as the administrator.

The recommended radio link is in the first post, it needs to be downloaded and flashed separately through HBOOT instead of clockworkmod (which the ROM uses to flash). Radios can't be flashed through recovery lol.

When you download the radio, just verify the MD5 checksum when you get it onto your phone. You can use an app like "MD5 Checker", which is free from the market. :)

In other news, THE SERVER SHOULD BE BACK! It had a magic permissions error and I'm still not sure why. Changed one thing, and it works again though. The strange thing is that I didn't change the file that messed up to begin with... So I'm still unsure what caused it. :mad:
