I am looking for a custom ROM that will work well with GPS and asat nav on the phone, hopefully google navigation.
Any that can be reconmended?
Also how do you install the radio on the phone?
Thanks
villain 5.4 works well with Google navigation.

I was just running 5,3 and it never found the GPS for some reason, it kept saying searching for GPS
what i did on villain was turn the gps on, restart the phone and just leave the gps on.
got a fix in 5 secs and really doesnt effect the battery much.
5.3 is really strange for GPS for me. When it finds my location it's great but often wont pick up where I am or thinks I am somewhere random.
GPS in Androbin beta r2 work good. I try it with google maps, ndrive and with "GPS test" app and no problem.
Sometimes I must wait for signal long time, but this is same as with original HTC ROM.
just installed sensehero 2.1 and finding that it wont get a fix on the GPS.
Is there a reason for this, or should i just leave it on and hope for the best?
just used soulehmoo's advice and it seemed to do the trick, but its on sensehero now. seems to work nice too. liking the background
I also tried aHero and sometimes i got a fix, but i never felt i was as good as when i had WM. Never tried a HTC so don't know how that worked
Villain 5.4 fixes a lot of GPS issues (have no problems any more)
if you have any problems (this goes for all 2.1 rom), do any of the following actions:
Reboot your phone with GPS on. Most of the times, this fixes everything
Reflash your radio ROM with GPS on when you shut down you phone to go into recovery mode
Radio doesn't need to be the latest version, latest version had connection and battery issues here (doesn't say you will have them also)
cool. thanks will try that, but how do I flash the radio? I'm pretty new to the flashing of ROMs.

same way you flash a rom. don't pull the battery, wait for it to reboot.
so i have to wipe the card and then put that on,flash it then reinstall a rom?

There's no need to wipe the card first or to reinstall the ROM afterwards. Also, iirc, the radio flashing actually takes place on the first reboot, not straight after you choose the recovery menu option to apply the update. You should be aware of this as a few people have been confused by it & done a battery pull in the middle of the update, with brick shaped results. As kendong2 says, don't pull the battery during the update procedure.
ah so i just put it on my SD card, and then click it like i would a rom, restaret the phone and let it do it?
I shall try that
Thanks
yes.....................
will that way work and still allow my Rom to work as well? I.won't notice a change?

None of the 2.1 ROMs has a 100% working GPS so far. All those "tricks" like rebooting with GPS turned on or reflashing the radio only work exactly one time. The next time GPS is turned off it's almost impossible to get a fix again.
If you want working GPS, go for a 1.5 ROM!
While I was running the Stock SE 2.1 .435 release (rooted of course) my X10 was capable of automatically switching between the GSM data connection to any of my configured Wifi networks (at work and at home) without any user interaction.
I have a friend with a Motorola Milestone on 2.1 with this same behaviour.
Every 2.2 ROM I have loaded seems to have a problem with regards to this feature. Basically I have to perform a manual switch but here are two of the behaviours I have noticed.
On FreeX10 the SSID basically becomes disabled. If I am at home and connected to my home network and leave the cell area my 3G network becomes established and everything is fine. Once I get back home within the cell area of my WiFi network the WiFi connection does not become active. Instead I have to go into Wireless Settings and that's when I see it is disabled. Long press the SSID and choosing Connect gets me connected.
On [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] the SSID does not get disabled but rather it continuously fails. Same use case as above except when I go into Wireless Settings I see the SSID "Connecting" and then failing and entering the "Remembered" state.
My friend with the Milestone recently upgraded to 2.2 and will test this scenario to see if it is inherent to 2.2.
My question is, would it be possible to take the 2.1 Wifi component and use that in the 2.2 ROMs?
It would be great this could get fixed, same problem is with the gingerbread roms.
Like u said, it doesn't even help when switching WiFi off/on again using my WiFi widget. U have to manually press connect on your specific WiFi connection.
Pain in the ass!

I have the same problems, tried both roms and ended up sticking with Cyanogen, simply because it was less of a pain re wifi but i still have reconnection problems when leaving my house. The answer is to manually turn off wifi then leave, then reengage wifi manually when i return. A pain but, a small one
Agreed. Toggling the power does not help.
If it is possible to take the WiFi component (for lack of a better word) from another build I strongly suggest considering .435 because it worked phenominally under various conditions.
yea my wifi doesn't seem to work well either with the FreeX10 rom
I assume you already tried Blade Wifi Fix? If not, do so.
The Blade fix was included in the CM ROM I installed. It looks like all it did was power cycle the wifi which as already stated doesn't help.

Try to delete included BladeWifiFix and reboot test again and if still not working install BladeWifiFix new from Market and test again.

FreeX10 is almost the same you can try it there too. What it does? Fix Wifi maybe, for some it fixes for some not so just try it you dont loose anything^^
i have been running free x10 for 3 months i suppose. it switches fine for me.
there where issues of WIFI NOT CONNECTING , no problems of switching though as u stated. so i installed blade wifi and everything was well.
i suggest what wolf says.

I know what it is intended to do but I was wondering how it was doing it. being a technical person I don't like the shotgun approach because the end results are very hard to interpret if you don't know what you are actually doing
but I digress I have installed it and I will be testing as soon as I get home

hi,
after reading this i though ...
me and wolf include blade wifi on our roms.
for me i don`t have any issue regarding wifi on my rom. i get out of home with wifi connected do a 1 hour trip to my work and when i get there wifi pick signal without any issue.
but......
i don`t check right away, so.
like i said me and wolf we include blade wifi and do some changes regarding build.prop to save some battery. one of the most consumer of battery is the wifi.
on SE roms search for wifi every 15 seconds. on mine i change that to 380 sec and wolf around 200 (i think) so...could this be the cause of ????
i personally don`t believe removing blade will do any difference but...maybe those who had this issues try to change build.prop to 15sec ?
well we might be onto something...after installing Blade I was able to switch but I did not time it...seems to have taken quite some time though. I'll time it next time but I'm sure since it will vary because it looks like it runs a timer and I don't know what the details are.
I wonder if Z made the same changes to build.prop as you guys have. I would be interested in testing without this change.
Also, it would be great to know what Blade actually does. I wonder if it circumvents the changes you made to the intervals in build.prop.
Also, any idea as to whether we can use the WiFi component from the .435 build in these ROMs?
Ren,
Is it possible to go in and change the value in build.prop:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=
Without reloading the ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes.
Through root explorer. Just make sure you check all boxes on permitions and after that reboot.

OK. I've been watching what Blade does and all it seems to do is reinitialize the wifi. Seems overkill so I found this:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration.Status.html
I want to write an app that will monitor configured networks and set their status to Enabled.
The challenge for me is that I've never developed an app before but I have the SDK installed and it recognized my x10 so I'm good to go. Ill try to get as far as I can but I will need some help. Is there anyone interested in offering themselves as a resource if/when I need some help?

Ever since upgrading to 2.2 I have lost the ability to connect to my schools WPA2-Enterprise network. I've searched and found that this was an issue introduced in 2.2 (I could connect fine on 2.1) and has been fixed in 2.3. I've tried all the solutions I've found online and zero have worked. These include using apps from the market such as Wifi Advanced Configuring and replacing the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin/ with the version from 2.1
The werid thing is, after completely wiping and flashing a new rom, it will connect fine the first time but not after that so im thinking it has something to do with certificate/credential storage?
The network I'm trying to connect to is WPA2-Enterprise, authenticated via PEAP and MSCHAPV2
Can anyone point me in the right direction? What system files might affect this? Can I try replacing them from a 2.3 build?
Any ideas/input would be appreciated
Ummm.....I connect the same exact way with the same exact settings at my job and I haven't experinced any issues while running 2.2. Which rom are you using?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Its happend on all of the 2.2 roms I've tried, (AOSP, MIUI, CM6, TW).
I've had the same issue. The odd thing is that some days I actually get it to link up on the first try to the same router, but other days I do all the various steps that you can find while googling for answers and never get to successfully connect.
Almost makes going back to 2.1 seem worthwhile...
Flashed a new rom today and connected to the network fine first try like usual. Cycled wifi and it wont connect again.
Anyone know where it stores wifi credentials? I'm thinking if I can clear them each time I want to connect it should work...
I'm in the same boat...although, my thread is on the second page with no replies. I am also unable to connect to enterprise wifi on campus...drives me nuts. I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I had no problems with enterprise wifi on 2.1...I wonder which file I could flash from 2.1 to make it work, I'm sure someone knows.

Are you saying my school restricts Android 2.2 users from using thier wifi while allowing 2.1 users to use it? I'm not sure what you mean...
Im saying maybe they needed more bandwidth so they put a block/allow list on their wifi. Nothing to do with your froyo. Or android. Could be they are ALLOWING ONLY KNOWN IP ADDRESSES now..(Since you dont know what an allow list is) Happened to me at work. And i dont have 3g at work so it sucks.
Only other explanation is that you screwed up during flashing. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I mean.......my wifi works just fine and ive flashed every rom in the dev section...currently on ec01 and wifi wpa2/enterprise is flawlessly working.

I'm fairly certain its not either of these issues, considering after I flash a rom I can connect to my schools network fine the first time. Its the subsequent connections that are giving me issues.
Here's a link to the issue on googles open source android project.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386
It basically says that it was an issue not present in 2.1, introduced in 2.2 and fixed in 2.3. I'm wondering if anyone knows what system files might affect this (wifi driver, certificates, deeper kernel issues?) and if anyone can point me in the right direction so I can start trying to pull files from other builds and see if it fixes my issues. I'm a complete noob but willing to give it a shot.
Can anyone let me know if ED01 or the official froyo rom has a fix for this wifi problem..??

As I'm sure you know by now, none of the froyo updates fix the wifi problem. However, I can report flashing JT's CM7 build did fix the issue and it truly is an awesome rom if you can stand a few features missing.
As of now, there seems to be no fix for froyo builds

This wifi driver kernel module "disables" the wifi maximum power management during screen off. The level 2 driver adds it further, changing power saving to off, while on battery power. Hopefully it could increase the wireless strength -- I am testing it.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage caused by the updated kernel module, neither its compatibility. I don't think it would work for any other ROM other than stock 360. Also, make sure you had the bcm4325 wifi instead of bcm4329.
Use at your own risk, always do nandroid backups
To update, either use ClockworkMod or StreakMod recovery, and use any of the attached zip file as update.zip.
Alternatively, you can just replace the /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko and reboot the system.
PS: Thanks to Myshkinbob's hint on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752856
WOW , while i was playing with the cifs another wonder came, i do confirm the cifs module works perfect [on 360], am on the process of testing these modules too, streak-custom-ROM-cooks i appeal you to include these modules in your 2.2 based ROMs.

Wifi streaming is now working flawlessly with screen turned off. The no power saving configuration on battery doesn't seems to improve the signal much. But it doesn't seems to have any significant increase on battery usage, so I suggest to just go for the level 2 version.
Gonna ask the obvious before someone else does
setting wifi sleep to 'never' doesnt accomplish what you want? What happens exactly if you set it to 'never' without loading your module? Is it as described in your link where it goes down to ~100kb/s link speed?
Wonder if porting to another kernel is as simple as using it's matching config.gz like with tun.ko or cifs.ko(?)

No it doesn't -- it is unrelated, actually. The bandwidh limit imposed by maximum power saving is much less than the required bandwidh for streaming FLAC audio. The result is intermittent audio playback with repeating 2-5 seconds silence and audio pattern.
Not to mention that I occasionally experiences IM+ Google Talk, YM, and Jabber session disconnects due to the same problem
Whoops sorry double posted

I believe an app could also prevent wifi to enter max power saving mode on screen off. But to make sure it does, then you have to try streaming some lossless audio with it

As you're not currently running 2.3 then I assume you're not in hurry for this. We can schedule it later then
Anyway I don't think many people needs this tweak, so let's just take it easy. Just post back when you're ready with a Streak running 2.3.
Sorry but I should've been able to do this by myself if I had 2.3 installed on my phone. But as stated, I don't have any plan for that

I'm back on the gingerbread bandwagon, however I am having wifi issues and I wonder if your fix can help. Randomly, but quite regularly, the wifi still shows as connected, however there is no data throughput. I'm wondering if it possible that the wifi "power down" is going to low and then not powering back up when the screen comes back on. Would your fix help with that at all? If so, I'm ready to help with it for gingerbread.

Raz-or,have you tried putting the 360 update.pkg on your root sd card,then run your phone through the qdl tool......after that....start your phone up in stock recovery,and it will install the 360 you put on sd,then upon reboot go back into stock recovery and do a factory reset......after your up and running,wifi should be working now.after doing this....you could put streakmod recovery on....so you can go back in and do a nandroid backup,and be able to do other things it can do

Anyone seeing a problem on CM10 with no ringtone playing sometimes on an incoming call? I can watch the screen reporting an incoming call but no sound plays at all. However I can call it right back and it will play it, then maybe the next call or two and it won't play it again. I was using one of the stock ringtones. It's maybe once every three call average.
It's also happening on AOKP JB Milestone 1. I'm using stock kernels on both.

Funny, my brother's fascinate running PA 2.52 [CM10 base] doesn't play the ringtone when being called. I haven't been able to fix it yet. but if it's a bug in cm10 that would surely explain it.
I think it's in the kernel since it happens on both CM10 and AOKP JB (which uses the CM10 kernel).
I hope someone out there can figure it out. I'm back on AOKP ICS M6 until then as I need my phone to ring.

I'm running it about a day or 2,,, and It is really nice,,, using stock kernel currently, devil 1.8.1 was causing bigger than normal battery drain, and w/stock battery has been great,,,
I do not have the ringtone issue in this one, but i did not have it in the aokp m1 either ,,, although I did have in in some of the earlier builds,,, I think like 9/27 or there about,,,
just looked when I went to 10/7 w/ 1.6.1 it cleared up my ringtone issue,,, and I also believe I may have wiped and installed an older stock jb partitioned rom 1st then back to that 10/7 build,,,
just so it would clear out any issues and go freshly into the new partition cleanly for sure.
OK I'll give M1 a try with 1.6.1 devil and if that doesn't work I'll try Baked. Will report back.
EDIT: Both M1 with Devil 1.6.1 and Baked version 6 have the same problem. I wonder if it's something with the fact that it's 4.1.2?
Anyway I'm rolling back to AOKP ICS M6 for the time being.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. However, I'm on CM10 nightly 11/20. I may flash Helly Bean if I get a chance and see if it helps.
Finally had a chance to try JellyBean 4.1.2. I was trying out GeeWiz 3.3 for a little bit, then flashed the CWM4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN file, 3-fingered into recovery, did a data wipe, installed THS build 2, rebooted again and installed AOKP Milestone 1 (stock kernel, not Devil at this time). Before even installing Gapps, I activated the phone, disabled Safe Headset Volume, then started calling it from my home phone. I was able to call it 12 times and it rang every time! I then reinstalled Gapps & some of my apps (manually from App Store, not TiBu), rebooted several times and then tried again by calling it 12-15 times, and it rang every time!
I will keep an eye on it, but it looks like disabling that Safe Volume sound setting really helped. Thanks so much!

I then reinstalled Gapps & some of my apps (manually from App Store, not TiBu), rebooted several times and then tried again by calling it 12-15 times, and it rang every time!
I will keep an eye on it, but it looks like disabling that Safe Volume sound setting really helped. Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I decided to switch back temporarily to the latest CM10 nightly, dated 12/08. No such luck; turning off Safe Handset Volume didn't fix the problem. It would only play the ringtone 1 out of 4 test calls.
I did a factory data wipe, flashed back to AOKP 4.1.2 Milestone 1. Now the phone will ring every time again with Safe Headset Volume disabled. 10 test calls in a row were successful.
There must be something in AOKP that's not in CM10 or CM10 isn't recognizing when the setting is disabled.
UPDATE2: Did a factory data wipe, flashed the latest Skankwich CM10 dated 12/01, disabled Safe Handset Volume, and it works every time as well. 14 calls in a row all rang just fine.
In Euroskank's changelog, for quite a while it says this: "Fix ringing audio focus handling". This cherry pick never seems to make it into the main CM10. You guys think this could be why his releases work and the main CM10 doesn't?

Fix ringing audio focus handling.
Test case:
- enable increasing ringtone starting at volume 0
- start any music player
- get an incoming call
Previous behaviour:
When ringtone volume is increased from 0 to 1, music continues playing even
though ring tone is playing as well.
New behaviour:
When ringtone starts, music is attenuated to make user aware of incoming
call. When ringtone volume is increased to 1, music stops playing.

Well all I can say is it mysteriously fixed itself on my brothers fascinate (see post #2) then on PA 2.52 I think.. then I updated to pa 2.54, and now he's on black bean 6 and it's working fine, ringtone always plays.

I know this is an old thread, but I decided to try out CM 10.1 and ran into the same problem again. The setting is not there in JB 4.2 so tried rolling back to different past versions of JB 4.1.2, including the latest HellyBean 4.1.2 release and AOKP JB Milestone 1 both on stock kernel and Devil Kernel, and even after disabling the safe volume setting on all of them the problem still persists.
I wish I could find a pattern as to why I'm having such a problem with this. It must not be happening on the majority since the CM team hasn't fixed it in the last 5 months.
Hopefully someday someone can figure this out; it really sucks not being able to use the latest and greatest. This is just a deal breaker for me.
