I LOVE Fission 2.4.3 on my Droid 2 (regular Droid 2, not R2D2 or global).
I was running third-eye theme that I downloaded from full Fission ROM Manager. The theme is superb! Great-looking.
But I noticed my GPS wasn't connecting. I discovered this while using Google Sky Map and could tell what was on the screen was different than the sky. GPS wasn't engaging so the app was generically using my town.
I searched and searched in google and forums and found one other person with this issue, but no answer.
So since my Fission was an upgrade from an earlier version, I bit the bullet and completely wiped the phone, data, cache, dalvic, factory reset, the works! Then I installed Fission and the GPS worked!!! Yeay. So I installed Third Eye via Fission Rom Manager, and the GPS broke again! Ugh! So I installed regular black Fission theme over it hoping it would fix it but it didn't.
Can anyone help? Why would a theme affect GPS? Any patch? I'd be happy to provide whatever log files or debug info is helpful.
Thank you! I love the D2 ROM community!
I thought the creator of the theme fixed that problem. For now you can install the upgrade ROM without wiping and then reapply the black theme and you should be good with gps.
I am looking into the issue with that theme now.
Sorry!
Are you sure you went into settings and enabled gps statelites?

Hi,
Did you check the setting?
Settings -> Location & Security -> Use GPS satellites (should be checked)
Yes, that is checked.
I'm going to try the suggestion to reapply Fission upgrade and black theme. I do really like the" Third Eye" but I like GPS better.
Okay, so I installed the Fission 4.2.3 Update (no wipe required) via the Rom Manager. When phone rebooted, I was back to default theme. I tested the GPS and it's still bad.
Is there a patch or a dll or something that can be applied?
I am technical (though not an Android Developer.) I work on Linux systems at work and am comfortable using debug tools if anyone wants me to generate a log or a core file or whatever might be helpful.
I wonder if there is a /var/admin/messages on Android. Maybe I'll poke around with the command shell.
I would ultimately love to have Fission, third eye, and the GPS.
Also, might one of the other addons I installed through Fission ROM Manager had broken the GPS? I think I installed the tether app and patch, some black-themed items, like swype, market, google search, weather, and I installed the moto multimedia pack and moto alarm.
Speaking of which, any plans to make R2D2 bootup available via Fission ROM Manager? Maybe I'm expecting too much.
Happy New Year everyone!
Try deleting the Maps.apk in your /system/apps folder then re downloading the app from the market.
GPS Broken with theme
Yeah, I am having the same issue, just stopped using it, and seemed to be fine. Guess I will just wait to see if it gets fit.
I'm sorry I didn't post the results. It's been a tad crazy around here and I haven't had much chance to post an update.
The following worked for me:
1) in root explorer, cd /data/app, mount r/w, rename com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk to com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk.bak
2) lauch maps just for a fun FC
3) uninstall maps from settings:applications:manage applications
4) reinstall maps via market
Now I have the latest Fission and the latest third eye theme - I LOVE that theme!
I wish I could get paste from clipboard back though. Oh, and Gingerbread of course!
I'll quit while I'm ahead. The D2 development community is amazing. Kudos to you guys!!!!
Gratefully,
Mark
ok, so i rooted my A500 and removed alot of the bloatware, system apps. Docs to go was 1 of the ones i removed, the trial version that came with it. I wanted to try something in docs to go at work, but the original apk was on my home comp. I tried to get the one from the market, but i will not install for some reason. I cleared the docs to go info from the dalvik cache, but can anybody think of why this is happening? I will try the original apk when i get home, but shouldn't the trial off the market install the same?
I'm running (Rom)Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4) 8/14/11)One Last Go With JVR
And Google Maps tries to update, but every time it does I get "Package File Not Signed Correctly"
I've cleared data and cache for Maps and Market, but it still will not update!?
Any ideas?
I think I had the same problem since I am reflashing a different rom now. I think I worked when I uninstalled maps. See if that worked or not.
Does it have a themed market? I don't never used the ROM if it does replace it with a stock one.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing, no luck!
I'm thinking I should wipe and reflash..
Sucks cause I got everything setup and running great besides that
If you have root explorer, you can go into /system/app (or wherever the GoogleMaps.apk is) and delete it manually. After a reboot, you will be able to re-install it from the Market.
Cheers

me too running taboonay 2.1
i have this problem too - and it seems others have too according to the taboonay thread...there are quite a few solutions that have been posted including
- deleting your market gmail account and setting up a whole new one,
- downgrading to 1.0.28
- upgrading to 3.1.5/3.1.6
- installing apps thru the website
- updating the rom to 2.2
- downgrading back to 2.1
- wiping caches, reflashing etc
but nothing has worked for me unfortunately tho i havent reflashed (yet)
I see someone has posted a new market version 3.3.11 so i'm about to try that, so i'll let u know how it goes in a few ticks!!
ok, its working...for now
right, this is what i did -
backed up!
cleared market data via settings>manage apps, cache was already mt
rebooted
d/l 3.3.11 from here and installed.
now, after i opened it had to do the 'accept' thing and then tried to d/l a game. I got a dialogue asking which application i would like to use and the choices were:
a) com.google.android.finsky, or
b) com.android.vending
i wasn't sure which one so chose a) and got an error "device not compatible" turns out "finsky" was my original market 1.0.28, so -
used the shortcut for 3.3.11 and voila i'm all sweet, woohoo!!!!
i wouldnt be sure that this is "solved" but it is working - i also have 2 market
shortcuts in my apps list and both versions showing in root explore and titanium
unsure as to whether i can uninstall orig. market
but for the moment i think i'll leave things as they are good luck
I am on a 3.2 stock rom and have the same issue. I have tried some of those above mentioned solutions except changing rom and different market app (I am not rooted so I can't try that) and none worked.
I have sent an email to market support and they are looking to it. But I guess 4.0 will be here before they find a solution.

Usually I find the way to fix this problem is to replace vending.apk in your app folder with a compatible one. You need root to do this, as it involves deleting/renaming a file in the system.
I recently flashed Liberty 2.0, and restored my device using TB Pro. My apps were reinstalled, but they do not show in the market under "My apps." So I don't know what's been updated, etc. I've cleared the cache and data for the Market application, tried the Market Doctor included with TB Pro, I've even wiped cache partition in Recovery. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Is it time to wipe it all and start over? Thanks in advance!
Is Liberty 2 what you're truly using...
The one on froyo kernel?
If not...you're on LIBERTY 3 v2.0
Either way.
Seems like a build.prop issue.
This may be a documented problem in the rom...but I kinda' doubt it.
Jrummy/Kejar are pretty reputable hack-er-up rom builders.
Try flashing the rom on top of itself.
Or if you really don't want to do that...
Using root explorer or equivalent to manually move a fresh build.prop into place (with the correct permissions.)
Thanks for the reply! It is on the GB Kernel, Liberty 3 version 2.0. I pulled the 2.0 out of the Liberty Settings/ Mod version. I tried pulling the build.prop from the .zip for the ROM to replace build.prop on the device. No luck.
The other interesting thing that I meant to include earlier is that it only happens on my main google account. I have 3 on the phone, and of course the only one that's not showing apps is the main one I use. Here's a screenshot of what I get.
I'm not excited about reflashing, so any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I know I might have to bite the bullet on this one though. Thanks again!
I also meant to suggest you check that you were logged in with the correct account.
That's a pain in the ass...I hope you resolve it.
Are you sure your main account was the one linked with your purchases?
