I should have waited before posting this...hours later I lost mobile data...probably has to do with editing the framework-res.apk so I had to redownload cm6 and flash it to get mobile data working
If anyone has a solution I could send them the zip I was flashing....

Can I use these on Cm6?

Apparently this does not work well so I deleted it....if the mods could delete this thread that would be great

If the only thing you did was change the Icons then its not what caused you to lose data..
Changing .png files within apks is probably the most simple mod you can do and I would give it another try. Cause unless you messed with some xml file i doubt its what caused your issues. You can actually edit apks pngs without unzipping or apktooling.

I wish I could explain it -
all I did was take 4g icons from the Epic - rename them to their 3g icon counterparts in CM6 - I opened the apk with 7zip and dragged them from my desktop to the folder
the only snag I hit when doing that was renaming them again inside the apk - because they were being named: random4gimage.png.png because I didnt have windows set to show known extensions - perhaps if I didn't do this it would have worked better? I honestly think that cant be it - but you never know - considering I have never edited an apk before that -
I didn't edit any other files - I didnt 'sign' anything before flashing it considering I dont even know how to sign files -
but I def would love to know what caused me to lose mobile data so I could try it again without thinking I may have to RUU again

This is all probably over my head but, would Metamorph provide some sort of work around for this.

Guys, a .png has no control whatsoever over 3G data you get... it's just like a paranoia effect that's spreading that you lose 3G from this. You won't lol.

If anyone is brave enough to try this. If not I will flash it tomorrow when I get to my Hero.
I accept no responsibility for what happens to your phone.
I have not tested this out as I do not have my Hero with me at this time. Also, this is the first update.zip I have made. I'm not 100% on what I'm doing, I used these instructions here to create the folder structure, and this application here to sign it.
If it works, awesome. If not, I apologize in advance.
Instructions:
- Copy 4g-icons-heroc_signed.zip to your sdcard
- Reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup (or two if you don't trust me - I wouldn't either)
- Flash 4g-icons-heroc_signed.zip
- Reboot
It is my sincere hope that this is exactly what the OP was trying to accomplish.

No, I know it is paranoia...lol...I just began to lose interest in it...but I tried flashing the 4g update using the nov2 blackmod rom and it sent me into a boot loop
Sent with the xda app using CM6

The bootloop could've been caused by a difference in the framework-res.apk files. When you flashed it, the whole framework-res.apk was replaced, and was likely incompatible with the ROM version you were using.

I just flashed this to my own Hero and ran into a slight problem. My Hero doesn't have service. However, I did pull the framework-res.apk and upon looking at the files I changed they did stick. No bootloops or force closes at all. I'm happy to say that I believe this to work and I hope that someone else will try it and post whether or not it works for them as verification!

[Q] GPS Not Working in Any Builds

So I've tried alot of Nand builds lately (Like TyphooN CM7, CMYLXGO's Stock Desire, and a few others) and it seems none of them allow me to use gps ill open google maps and it will say waiting for location then after like 2-3 mins it will say your current location is temporarily unavailable I've also tried using the GPS Status Tool to try and download GPS Assistance data to see if that would help but it doesn't ):
Anybody have any idea's why it doesn't work? and how i can fix it?

Did the gps work before? does it work with winmo or igo my way (any gps software) . You can try and flash again the radio,maybe do task 29 and then radio.

Can you use adb?
If so, check your /system/etc/gps.conf file.
Make sure NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
Many builds have it set to "europe" or "asia" by default.

oh yeah maybe he didn't change in the config file before he flashes ,right?

Yeah I'm having the same problem I change the gps.config and replace the lib files. Gonna flash a different radio and see if it works
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Seems to be a very few people out there with phones that don't work with the NAND builds at all with GPS. If your phone still works using Winmo then I would suggest using one of the SD builds instead. Especially if you changed your gps.conf file and it still doesn't work. Did you try the files that are found on the Instantaneous GPS Fix thread?

Try FasterFix and GPS Status to fix it

I have the same issue. It used to work and for the hell of it, I flashed a WinMo 6.5 (CR192 DESIRE HD v6.5.3.1.0 Stable - 1.1 Vibrant GTX Released) with QuickGPS and it worked and I got a GPS lock/fix. However, I flashed back to a Android NAND and GPS can't get a fix. There are lots of people in the [Mar.1.2011] Instantaneous GPS Fixation CWR v1.1 RELEASED! who say they can't get a fix even after modifying gps.conf. I think it's a kernel driver issue or all the hardware isn't the same or something.

Can I change that gps.cfg without reflashing? Mine is set to Asia....

Yes.
Option 1 : You use rootexplorer to modifiy the file.
Or
Option 2 : You use Droidexplorer on PC which allow you to explore the phone and get/put file. So you get gps.conf, you modify it and you put it back.
Or
Option 3 : you use adb.
I like DroidExplorer for this kind of operation. Simple and efficient

Thanks I'll give it a try right now.
So just open the gps.cfg in notepad correct?

You can also use "vi" to edit the file straight from the adb shell.

Stroll around.

I tried changing the gps config file myself it was wrong too so i got excited it might work ;~; and I've tried the faster fix thing before but it still didn't work but that so I'm gonna try the flashing wimo and see if works there it used to work awhile back and super well too then one day i went to use it and it was gone Dx

[Q] GPS gingerbread on HD2

Hi guys, bit of a newbie here.
Ive seen on the site abut getting gps to work on this version and followed instructions but nothing seems to work.
It got me thinking... would an external Bluetooth GPS work instead? Just as a bit of a work around?
Many thanks for your help here

The OP may also want to check the gps.conf file to determine if it is optimized for the region. Check this thread out as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
I am using Tytung's Gingerbread 2.3.5 Nexus HD2 v2.9 build with both the GPS v2.0 and an optimized gps.conf file on my phone. First locks are under 10 seconds and relocks are almost immediate using the built-in Google Navigation on the phone. Without the optimized gps.conf file, first lock was around 20 seconds. Tytung's ROM is set up for the North America. If you are not in North America, then you will need to change the gps.conf file to match your region.

The build-in gps must work, but a bluetooth gps will work to.

GPS problem
Hey guys I don't want to open a new thread, so I'll just post here...
I have the same GPS problems as most people here – GPS Status and GPS Essentials are showing no satellites, 0 visible and 0 used for fix.
I’ve left the phone to search for 10min in couple of occasions and nothing.
I think I’ve tried about everything here to fix it (and this is begging to bug me majorly)...
Updated the libraries with v2.0 RPC tytungs update (before that I’ve used the AngleDeath Europe.zip patch)…
Then edited the gps.conf file
first added the eurpe.pool.ntp.org,
then tried following lines
0.europe.pool.ntp.org;
1.europe.pool.ntp.org;
…etc.
Event tried the (my) country specific server address (pulled it of from the NTP POOL PROJECT website)
rs.pool.ntp.org
Installed the xtra.bin injector
Tried it on a perfect summer day and/or night, with 3g and WIFI on… but no results…
I’m running
CyanogenMod-7-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN_V3.5.7-MAGLDR]
Tytungs r11_beta2 kernel (the lock screen lag fix)
CW 3.1.0.0
Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Any ideas?

hi, this is what ive used but i must be doing something wrong and dont understand what im doing with the files etc
Im using MDJ_GingerBread_HD2_v.1.0_RC4_RAM_MODDED SC Card version
does that make any difference?

Is anyone with this problem using one of the latest roms with agps support? I can lock on in about 20 seconds from a restart. Also is everyone on the latest magldr?

never had any problems using MDJ Gingerbread... no editing or anything else - it works perfect right from the get-go...

I think the problem is that on your build they recommend using Tytung's NMEA and not the RPC file that you tried. Try loading v2.0 NMEA by Tytung and give it a try. On some of these builds, only one of these files will work. I suspect your build is one that will need only the NMEA file to make the GPS work properly.

Yeha, I’ve noticed a after my post here that in the “update” list of the TyphooN ROM is stated that the NMEA lib is implemented in it… anyhow, re-loaded the NMEA lib… edited the .conf file again… rebooted… injected the xtra.bin … left the phone outside for like 5min to try to find any satellites… 0 hits :/
Man, this is frustrating… I would hate to have to change or re-flash the rom, I’m quite satisfied with this one… maybe I’ll switch to iOS XD

With all the changes that you did, you may have no choice but to reflash the ROM again. Then only change the gps.conf files to your region after the reflash if it is not correct for your area. Then hopefully your GPS will be working again. If after all that, and it still doesn't work, you may have to look in the GPS antenna to see if it is working.

Unfortunately, I can't see the link. Maybe you should try the quick and easy way to change your region by using FasterFix that is free on the Market. At least it will quickly change your first gps.conf file line to the correct region and hopefully get you a gps lock. I suspect that the gps.conf file you are changing may not be correct or possibly the changes you are making are not being taken and the original gps.conf file keeps staying? I don't think it is the build. I've used TyphooN in the past with my custom gps.conf file that I use with no problem.

@Formula84 Its better for not. We check download stats how lower the downloads no new files comming.
Attached is ODIN 1.85 and instructions thanks to crawrj for the files.
Code:
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
Check this quote out...its the available ram from previous epic firmware.

Good work in changing the title slightly. I was about to make a bug thread as I figured it was going to start at some point in time. I haven't put a single leak on my phone yet, but I might depending on the initial reactions of this one.

Did they strip out the debug stuff? That may be why its so small...dling now

I don't think the bandwidth is limited, only the amount of storage you can use. I've only added about 200 MB of storage so far, and I've had numerous downloads. Still says I have 4.8 GBs left.

As for bugs. INstalled GPS Status right off the bat and was only getting 2-3 sats locked. Did the cleared the modem memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226074 when I flashed CWM in Odin and now I'm getting 5 sats.
Nevermind. Busybox did install and showed up after I rebooted.
After flashing Su it looks like I have root. I can't install Busybox even though the installer says I'm rooted.I can delete system apps with Root Explorer and Titaniaum Backup.

GPS on N9005 solution that worked for me!

...hello friends...I am writing this for all of you people that have a problem with GPS signal on your beloved Note 3 N9005...
...when I received my Note 3 for 4G LTE network, I didn't know that I will have any problems with GPS signal...although there is no LTE network in my country yet, there should not be a problem with GPS signal...so I have searched a little bit and found application that was the solution for my problem...
...anyway...let's start...I just want to say "Thanks" to the developers of the application...crypted and Zatta :good:
Please follow link bellow to download application...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198319
I did the following things in order to fix GPS signal...
1) You need to have rooted phone - there are plenty of links on the xda, I done my rooting from this link without any problems... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
2) Download TopNTP 1.0.4 application from the link provided
3) Place the application on your external SD card
4) Before instalation go to /system folder on your internal memory and mount rw for that folder manualy - you can do it by installing for example total commander app from the google market it is free...then go to buttons and create button with internal command, 119 Remount...it will create button that can be used for mounting rw partition...or you can use root explorer...
5) Install TopNTP application
6) Reboot your phone
7) Start application and go with already default settings...click on Install button
8) Save and reboot again
9) Try your GPS now...
10) If this is not working try with settings for your country and put General insetead of Derek Gordon's server, save and again reebot
THAT'S IT FOLKS!!!
There will be stored one backup file of your gps.conf file, don't delete anything...
I hope it will help your device to work as it should...maybe this will help someone...also...there is a full description of application and changelog for older versions...so check it if you want...
Thank you all...Cheers!!! :highfive:

1) You need to have rooted phone - there are plenty of links on the xda, I done my rooting from this link without any problems... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
2) Download TopNTP 1.0.4 application from the link provided
3) Place the application on your external SD card
4) Before instalation go to /system folder on your internal memory and mount rw for that folder manualy - you can do it by installing for example total commander app from the google market it is free...then go to buttons and create button with internal command, 119 Remount...it will create button that can be used for mounting rw partition...or you can use root explorer...
5) Install TopNTP application
6) Reboot your phone
7) Start application and go with already default settings...click on Install button
8) Save and reboot again
9) Try your GPS now...
10) If this is not working try with settings for your country and put General insetead of Derek Gordon's server, save and again reebot
THAT'S IT FOLKS!!!
There will be stored one backup file of your gps.conf file, don't delete anything...
I hope it will help your device to work as it should...maybe this will help someone...also...there is a full description of application and changelog for older versions...so check it if you want...
Thank you all...Cheers!!! :highfive:

Can you please post here your /system/etc/gps.conf file? Just out of curiosity.

1) Their program is still buggy - both for me and for you (your two files are the same) the program failed to replace /system/etc/gps.conf with their configuration that is somewhere in /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files I have also attached a (slightly modified) file that was there for me.
2) I have manually forced that file over /system/etc/gps.conf (with Total Commander - I think I am a registered user of the PC Total Commander for like 15 years now :good and I am going to test more tomorrow but to be honest the tests so far show that things are definitely not getting better with their TopNTP program on N9005

...Thank you for your gps.conf file... :good: ...you are right, their program is a little buggy...anyhow, I have tried several different things with x-note rom, alexander rom, hawkish, etc... and also with some other apps from apkmania, but the only application that somehow sucessfully managed to catch the gps signal was TopNTP...
...I tested all on my trip to the job, and back to my home...and it is working...I tested it with google maps as well as with Sygic maps...again it is working...I also checked the files you ask from me to post...they are the same...probably software reads configuration from /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files... and maybe app developers will do something to improve their software in near future...in order to save the gps.conf file directly to the /system folder...I hope...because that would be excelent...once again thanx for help and comments... cheers! :highfive:

No, the (otherwise perfectly normal Linux) device driver does not read the configuration from /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files, you are using the same gps.conf as you did before (and just like everybody else you get it from /system/etc) but since there are so many factors involved the placebo effect has completely mixed your findings.
If you want to test the other configuration go on your phone to /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files and copy that one over original gps.conf (Total Commander will tell you about remounting RW) and then reboot. Test it on average at least a week and see if things are clearly different than now.
In my phone it is increasingly clear that there is certainly no improvement.

I have a problem where TopNTP is not writing to my gps.conf.
Even though I'm rooted . . .

Manually editing?
Hi there,
Indeed, TopNTP is'nt changing/editing the file gps.conf in my phone either.
Has anyone tried editing it manually with the lines TopNTP suggests?
Would that be possible at all? Or is there some checksum that won't cooperate?
Regards,

I did edit gps.conf with those lines but it didn't really help with GPS Issue.
I guess I'm missing something.

...hello bro...try this file...it is extracted from TopNTP settings...
...you need to copy original file first on your external sd card, then copy text from this file to gps.conf...reboot your phone...and report me back what is happened...I hope it will work... cheers! :highfive:

I did find the file yesterday and copied it to \etc.
Didn't really help

I solved my problem by tightening the screws in the back of the phone around the gps area (left of camera when looking at the back) they where a little loose ever since then it's worked perfectly

Already tried that. I even opened the back side completely to check for the pins contact.
My phone works perfectly in other countries. It's just here at home that doesn't.
It did work perfectly until I upgraded to KitKat

...update to the old post...
...Hello to all people on xda forum...
...I just want to add one update to my post for all guys that still have problems with GPS and didn't solve the issue...here is a solution...I hope you will hit thanks button
...this is only for those people which have strange problem when gps hardware works, for example you can update your weather on weather widget, but somehow you can't catch any satellites when you want to find your way in the city...then problem is definitely could be fixed...I did it with several N9005 devices and always was successful...
The real credit goes to @SchecterRocker, where he posted how he solved the issue...actually you can follow his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729322&nocache=1 THANK YOU MAN!!! :good:
First, as optional is to update your modem and bootloader according to your baseband.
Second, retrieve your default gps.conf file. Now you can go with tearing apart your device...just follow instructions that @SchecterRocker posted...or you can follow it here...ADAPTED LITTLE BIT
[[ INSTRUCTIONS ]] (See attached pics for details)
1. Remove the back cover, battery, stylus, SIM, and microSD.
2. Remove the 12 Phillips screws on the back.
3. Carefully remove the inner plastic shell (clipped in).
4. Take your time!!! DO NOT HURRY!!! Gently open around the edges until all edges and clips are loose ( you can use guitar pick ).
5. Observe the leaf pin locations shown below. photo01.jpg
6. This leaf is clearly related to the GPS, because bending it back restored my GPS to perfect functionality. TRUE!
7. Extra Carefully!!!! bend the leaf pin back into position, if you find a dislocated leaf pin. photo02.jpg
8. ALSO CHECK THE REST OF LEAFS!!! Replace the inner plastic shell, making sure to not damage the leaf pins.
9. Replace the 12 screws.
10. Replace the SIM, microSD, stylus, and back cover. START THE MACHINE!!! ...working isn't it???
Cheers!!! :highfive:
THANK YOU @SchecterRocker (hope you won't blame me for using your photos and instructions) AND @xda-developers

I don't mind a bit! Spread the word - it's already helped an estimated 20 people on the AT&T Note 3 boards. Need evidence and more details? Check it out here:
