I managed to get a fix on my location with google maps but after a gooood 12min of waithing, without wifi.. When i dont use wifi it should give me the right location always?
When i run gpssetup2 i get fix but after a long wait, and only 2-3 satelites.
1.im using jpf
2.im from macedonia
3. I used octy app when i was on eclair, now im on froyo.
Ill be testing some more, if i got one good fix i shoud get it right.. If you have some workin way or app to fix the gps to quickly fix please write.

Tell us what it does...better yet, let me see the source code before I DL and install something from a complete stranger.
You actually think we're going to DL this and run it? Yeah, no problem

Could always run it on emulator...but nah, I don't think so. And hey, don't you have a phone you can adb install it on???
But the curiosity in me is so untamed....might have to run a VM with no Internet and see what's up
And it's 2 apk's, so it is NOT one application...hmmm. Do I want to kill a couple hours of my life making VM to f*&# with this? I think not LOL
No app-shortcut came up? Noticed no new settings...
Deleted it!
thnx 4 d replies...i hv tried to develop d app which filters incoming calls and sms's...The first one is for incoming call and second for sms..

for the market to be there, you need to flash the google apps package, flash it in recovery the same way you flashed the rom

Just logging in into ur phone google account won't require a huge data plan.

Yes...and after that i will get fixed WIFI thing?
I don't know. I'm new to wifi related things. And that logging in into google account might solve market app only.
But after rooting the phone there might be wifi related apps or atleast may be fixes for that. I heard manual adding of network might work. But dont know really.

Fixed by changing some settings in advanced tab in wireless settings (set 14 channels)
I can't access data on my wildfire CM7

How about the battery?
And...is there a good navigation system working for the flipout? (eg. copilot)
Thanks again!

Just wanted to let u all know that google maps have launched offline navigation coupled with turn by turn GPS. Update ur map app and go to Labs in the app.

I have Whatsapp installed for some days and can verify that the battery will still last at least the whole day.
