Try the app from market fasterfix and choose northamerica..that should help you.

Go to the rarity rom page in developement. There you will find, about halfway down the posts, an app built by pfittech called pfgps...
It has been broken into regions, you flash by cwm and it improves lock times for GPS.
Thank you pfittech for this awesome piece of software for our phones...

Test GPS by installing a stock rom older than what you are using .

[Feb 24] MIUI 1.2.19 Stock English SD/MagLDR

For the record i dont make roms! I downloaded this rom from miui.com and added the english pack and the old market since the new market wouldnt download for me. I have been using it and so far only thing that doesnt work for me is the Theme Downloader. Try it out and let me know if it works for you. I have only tried it with Magldr but the rom comes with a SD rootfs.img too so it should work. Someone check the data i use a mifi for my mobile net so im not sure if it works or not. Enjoy
Data is confirmed working! This rom is Android 2.2.1 using warrens 2.6 kernel.
UPDATE - Ok i added an updated 1.2.19 version which fixes the force close when setting wallpapers and the new market is back and working. MIUI 1.2.25 has dropped now and 3dak has released an sd version already.
Updated DOWNLOAD
Thanks for posting... I'll check this build out tonight.
thanks for posting. testing now. Hopefully Data and Wifi working in this built.

Confirmed, Data and Wifi is working.
ROM running fast, stable. Some errors such as not setup themes from the home screen (force close).
just use the theme manger i believe to setup wallpapers and themes. and i am glad to see data works in the build like i said i use a mifi for mobile net and i couldnt test.
I am current trying the 18-12 and 24-12 build, both work fine except the 24-12 build can't download app from market. I have tried all the method shared in forum and still the same. The GTalk is not ale to sign in too....
is this build having app not able to download from market issue?

this build can download from the market because i swapped the newer market out with the old market. and gtalk seems to work fine too.
i have had the phone unplugged for over 18 hours and i am at 5% battery left so the battery life is ok for anyone wondering.

Thanks. I will try it tonight and report back.
Could you please tell us what kind of Android this is? Froyo, Ginger? does it have Sense? What build is it?
I tried using Google translate on that site and the chineese-english translation is awful. Couldn't understand a thing.
Maybe display a changelog and snapshots
Can someone please add screenshots, would love to see this on the HD2

It's a miui build... I believe miui still uses froyo base, but I could be wrong. And no sense... it's miui. That's the type of build it is.

Almost perfect. 1-4 ma standby, perfect camera, perfect sound, fast and smooth. Only fc on wallpaper changing.

There is already a folder with the file you need to boot with magldr included with the build, and it worked for me to boot with magldr.
Good build, haven't had any problems. Thanks to OP for posting. Great to see more miui sd builds being posted here with at xda.
I've got the classic robo voice in this one. Also one song has been playing since I got a vm and it's on repeat... lol
I even deleted the song, but it's still playing. I'll have to fix it when I get home from work.

Simply Honey 3.8 & revolution Rom 2.0problems 2 Problems left !!

hello i am having some problems with simply honey..
1.[Solved] everytime i try to use swype it force closes
2.the launcher it came with (gingerbread launcher) fc everytime you open it
3.[SOLVED]recovery is still not usable
4. the ocean waves background fc's
5.[solved]sometimes the power button dosent work
If you haven't done so already, reboot into recovery and fix permissions. This always fix many fc, do you still need help with Swype?
thay didnt work and also recovery dosent wok either
Do you have rom manager installed? If so, what is the current recovery?
Edit...I'm reposting what I advised others about Swype.
Try this,
1. Uninstall swype, swype installer, or any left over cache
2. Search for any swype files or lib and delete them
3. Reboot
4. Install the apk attached
5. Log in, choose swype english, install, follow the directions on there until it's finished. Otherwise it won't license it if you don't follow all the directions from the app

Download Rom manager from the market, it's free, open it and flash the recovery for your phone, then at the bottom, choose fix permissions. Reboot your phone.
Let me know if this doesn't work.
You should reinstall it.

[Q] Some apps not showing up on certain roms?

I have noticed that on some roms (Mostly AOSP, as CM 7.1) some of my purchased apps do not show up as downloadable. When I search for them, they're also gone...
Why is this happening? It seems that some apps are locked out from the CM version of the market. How do I fix this? I would really like to use CM 7.1, but what does it matter if I can't install all my favorite apps?
Just installing APK's from file manager is NOT a solution, I want to know how to show them permanently inside the market.
I have seen the same issues, maybe someone could help

That'd be great
Same issues with some apps just not appearing in the market on some roms?
Maybe the ROM/Phone info the Market is getting isn't compatible with the apps you're trying to download. Have you tried if Market Enabler lets you download them?

I thought that Market Enabler lets you choose a different provider. That's not the problem. I can do it on CheckROM, but not on CM 7.1. I will try it out to see if I'm wrong.

I'm with Hypedroid and its going pretty good atm, but I don't know if I have the same issue as you're having without knowing which apps are the one not showing in market. You can also try to install Chainfire3D driver to improve games.

Thanks for the tip
Simple solution .
Download apps on a rom that works .
Copy apps to a folder on your external sd card .
install your custom rom and then install the apps .

how do i do that? I know where that option is..
I reset APN settings to default, but that did not work, did restart after and nothing.
Galnet just released miui ics so i will be flashing that on top of what i got!
Dont flash modems. I had the same problem when I tried miui 4. The apn settings are wrong. Edit the apn settings and set "Port" to 80.

Since you know some stuff! Do you know a fix for the gallery FC on bootup?
It works after it FC on bootup. Just wondering?
I only ran MIUI 4 for a day to play with it and then switched to WanamLite. I don't remember there being any Gallery fc on my device? Where did you get your build from? I was using miuiandroid.com. If you are using some other build like Galnet maybe try miuiandroid.com because it seemed fairly stable to me.
Are you using V4 as a daily driver? I tried the other day and got disgusted by the feeling that its based on a samsung rom(and it is i think).
Thank you!

[Q] Problems reinstalling stock FM radio (or any fm radio) on s5830i

Hi, I searched for a lighter rom and found Redemption 4 on this forum and I love it!

searched around I I thought I could just install some FMradio.apk , but for some reason install fails (and I can install other apps)
could anybody help me out on this ?
I never really tweaked my android phone untill 2 days ago
thank you!

hmmm...
I tried already a few of them and it's quite strange that installation fails... do fm radio applications (non-streaming) require any extra things beyond the apk file??
any help please? One of the few apps on google play says it only works with motorloa, so I guess there is a dependency on the model/brrand thus not just any radio app will work. And why should not work with the stock one? (which is just fine for me)
If anybody knows of an fm radio that works with galaxy ace s5830i please let me know!

Then flash to stock rom, backup fmradio.apk with titanium backup, flash to your custom rom and restore fmradio.apk

I'm guessing this is cos you're on Jelly Blast, there's several solutions install Rafael baugis kernel, or install soundabout app (in settings find the one that says let phone decide and check it) download from Google play, these will fix your problem
