Here's a patch for CM7.X to improve GPS and Sensors.
The 'new' CM7.2 from vo-1 is IMHO the best CM7 we have. Only thing which disturbed me was the slow GPS. The PFGPS Tweaks by PFittech didn't really work for me. So i took a look at the GPS functions of Stock Samsung ROM to see what i can do. CM7 and Samsung use different ways to provide GPS funtions. While CM7 'directly' accesses the hardware, Samsung does it via a running daemon (/system/bin/gpsd'). Obviously this works much better than GPS functions provided by CM7. So i decided to try the Samsung GPS functions in CM7 which worked very well out of the box. I always have a GPS-Fix now in less than a minute. This required a complete replacement of HW libs provided by CM7. This worked without any problems. All Sensors (at least for me) are working. More than that, i personally have the feeling that everything is a little bit smoother and faster. But that maybe a 'Placebo'...
Anyway, here's the patch for those who want to try. What does it do ?
- it completely replaces the libs in /system/lib/hw with libs from Samsung STOCK ROM
- it installs 'gpsd' in /system/bin
- it installs a stock gps.conf in /etc
- it wipes your /data/gps directory to remove old xtra.bin files
Note: PFGPS doesn't work with this patch So if you've already flashed PFIttech's PFGPS tweaks, they will be uninstalled by my patch.
All necessary entries to start the daemon and prepare directories were already found in 'init.gt-s5830.rc' (..which is very strange because there isn't any /system/bin/gpsd in a standard CM7.X installation). I've tested my patch on a clean CM7.2 (vo-1) installation. But it should work on all CM7 variants.
Before flashing don't forget to create a CWM backup.
No need to wipe anything. Just flash via CWM 5.0.2.6

Please report here if it worked for you or if you find any problems...
ENJOY
Thanks... i wil try with "The End 2.0"
Nice =)
Will try it soon ...
Thanks
Working perfectly.
I had the PFGPS fix installed previously and still got no fix after installing the new libs.
But after reverting to Stock gps.conf I got a fix in less than 10 seconds.
No problems so far.
YESSS !!! i finally can use my gps on CM 7.2 thx to this patch , thx a million lagloose it really works and locking fast without flashing PFGPS or any other fix .....
Already found a way to get the stock gps.conf. Just extracted it from a flashable CM 7 zip. Really works great! Accuracy just out of my door around 6 meter within a few seconds!
Ok, some users have reported that the patch doesn't work with PFGPS installed. I'll update the patch later this evening so that a stock gps.conf will be flashed and installed...

Here is a cwm flashable stock gps.conf in the meanwhile : http://mir.cr/1YDTPXCN
thanks for the patch, I'll download and have a go soon with mireo and ndrive. I also absolutely agree that vo-1's rom is by far the best CM7 so far even though I am not running the updated version due to some issues that I have with CWM5 (my opinion is that version 4 is stable, while version 5 causes my sd-ext to dissapear) ---> so using vo-1's previous version).
Awesum results ...gets a lock in. 2 sec ..

yes, works great! get a lock in a few seconds. First fix that really worked for me.
The only feeling i have is that this GPS config has less aggressive settings. If i take one step outside the connection is great and i get locked in 5 sec. Inside though, it can't find anything. My old GPS settings managed to get a signal to a few satellites although the lock took long. Maybe we can try to find improved settings to make it even quicker?

I've added to version 1.11.11:
-4way reboot menu;
-The fix released by stockwell for wi-fi problems
For what i've tested all things looks working great.But if you find something report that
FIX's:
WI-FI FIX's (Use only one)

Hello Darksage07 and nice work!
Can you share what was exactly the fix and what needs to be changed at the overlay for it to work?
Was it system/etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini ?

Some people report that the fix that stockwell have made works well , you have to get a little of luck to use the right fix from those i've shared .Because people says that the fix number two is working great and so that was the fix that i've used on this rom.
Installed nicely on top of 1.11.04, no errors so far.
Which one do i have to choose?? I think i'm using PT/En version.. Its with Turkish translation
@OzanSRC fix2 had work with me .

Hi guys . I guess my GPS won't find my location except for Google assistance & wireless network assistance. I recently flashed the GPS FiX over the dev section Google build 3.1 ., and then it got worst ! Over 20 min now no fix gps position I can't use my navigator . Help
you didn't say which method you used to flash that fix ,but most likely you don't have installed it properly ( if you did it manually through ADB shell )
if you have CWM installed I would suggest you to install the GPS fix ver. 3.0 (works better for me)

Same thing for me, hatyrei
There is a great, if not huge, improvement of the GPS fix with ICS.
The two leak roms of ICS (version 0.9 and 0.14) gave me a quick fix.
No comparaison with honeycomb.

I'm kinda hesitant with this ICS hype ROM's ,. which I read over the dev area... They have this "sleep of death", not booting properly,wrong kernel used, need to use adb while in recovery and flash new kernel, install RA recovery and etc... I guess its too much for a noob to handle .,
Im running stock HC 3.2.1 rooted with thor's CMW version 1.5., ummm , Will I still be able to received OTA update this coming April for the ICS official release?
THANKS.

Current status: CM10.1 in the works and this version will not be updated.
Got started with the project in January, I'm now ready to present you my first custom ROM (and kernel) - BLECM9!
First of all - BACKUP! This is not stable for everyday use just yet.
It also includes my own kernel, based on the latest CAF source code (ics_chocolate). The kernel gets frequent updates from CAF and me. Kernel version is 3.0.8. It's not as stable in the beginning but a better choice in the long term.
It won't include Google Apps, you need to manually install gapps package, as any other CM rom is by default.
Prequisites
U8800 upgraded to 2.3
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4, not tested in v5.0.2.7
Instructions for Installing
Download the latest version of BLECM9 (Downloads below).
Copy the package to your internal/external SD card.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash the update package.
Optional: Install Gapps package (Downloads below).
Reboot and wait. The first boot takes around 2 minutes.
Downloads
My Google Code Page
Google Apps @ goo.im
Additional Notes
Report issues.
Changelog.
No, this won't work on U8800-51 or U8800Pro.
Atmel TS users, 0.02 will not work for you. I am establishing a new driver, to make the driver standard. Please standby as this is my top priority.
Everybody, send me logs if something does not work. This kernel is under heavy development. On computer with ADB set up: "adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log" and send the dmesg.log
Major Bugs
No Atmel TS support.
RIL issues (does not detect all SIMs)
NT35510 seems to have issues when turning on the screen (confirm?)
Unstable backlight on low values.
Wifi MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55
No Camera.
No Bluetooth.
No FM radio.
No audio (except ringtone/alarm)
Sometimes glitchy hardware acceleration.
No sensors.
More...

Rom feels very fast too.
Wifi is working good.
Bugs that I've found:
Screen flickering (unstable backlight)
Can't mount SDCard.
RIL isn't working on my u8800.
Overall it looks very promising!
Logs attached.

MONFRO AOSP
This is a pure AOSP rom: it has no extra features so it can be snappy and smooth at maximum level.
Indeed the goal of this rom is to be as fast as possible.
- CM10 partition layout (422mb for data)
- Devil Kernel 1.4.1 VC (new kernels with new CM vsync available as addon)
- Devil Kernel Config included (and a init.d script generated with this program, to have everything set up stable at the beginning. If you set bigmem, before reboot remember to set 480 in videocamera settings, otherwise camera app will crash with bigmem). I suggest to install also NSTools, to have more overclocking and BLN options.
- GAPPS (updated to latest) are included
- I SUGGEST A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, because added features from CM10, Helly Bean, AOKP and other roms can conflict with pure AOSP settings and functions

I have to say thank you, because your Lanight rom showed me how fast AOSP roms are, as you can see from my enthusiastic comment of 20.09.2012.
But on Lanight 4.0 there were some glitches, for this reason i decided to work on an AOSP rom. I see that you worked to fix Lanight while i was working here: if i would have seen your new rom build, probably i wouldn't have worked on my AOSP.

This rom uses the same layout as CM10: 422mb on fastest nand for data and the rest (slow nand) for system.
I am sorry you can't try this rom. I have read here and there about people with broken internal SD but i didn't entered in details.

I've been on xda long enough, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. If my WiFi isn't turning on, would changing the modem affect that?
My Captivate has been relegated to my backup device, almost always used on WiFi.
From what I've played with on this rom, I like it a lot. Keep up the great work!
I have had similar issues with other JB AOSP roms with CM10 base. If I understand it correctly, it is due to the datadata partition that is included with this base (data partition table messes up the Kernel or something). To my knowledge there is no work around for this. Some of the AOSP roms here (LANIGHT for example) have a nodatadata version which solves the problem.
Hope this helps!

So the problem comes from the Bluetooth kill function in devil kernel, which kills also wifi.
I suggest to disable devil idle and deep idle and to leave "enable Bluetooth " in devil kernel config app.

Hey Monfro, how is going the battery life so far ?
Okay, I been using Wifi a lot lately, and as other people.. in Aurora I been facing Wifi getting "stuck" it just grays out.. and there won't be an actual connection... so, I did research and I installed WiFix Manager
Simple Instructions
Download and install application - WiFix Manager
Give root permission
Click Advanced Configurations and enter your country code (instead of US) - Find your code here or here
Click Change Country Code
Click Check For Updates
Click Install WiFix
Restart phone and you are done
I been testing this for 3 days, I left wifi on for hours and even overnight. Before when I wake up in the morning it would always be greyed out.. now it's always nice blue reception! Let me know if this fixes it for you and if it does and we get positive feedback maybe we can convince dzo to implement this fix into his ROM.
FYI, I am using 4.1a, but I don't see why it would not work in later versions.
Wifix
I get way higher speeds in Aurora ICS 5.0 when using this app, it reminds me of the difference when i installed an Elora wifi-fix on an earlier version of Aurora.
My main problem in 5.0 is the touch screen problems, even after dzo's updates.
have you tried to replace the 1 wifi conf file for an older version?
I know that this fixed some wifi issues for many people including me. I can't remember the file name but it can be found in one the aurora thread in this section, I think.

have you tried to replace the 1 wifi conf file for an older version?
I know that this fixed some wifi issues for many people including me. I can't remember the file name but it can be found in one the aurora thread in this section, I think.

I think this might be the one (refered to in Dzo's Aurora ICS for u8800 - General Discussion thread), but it has some issues. Disconnect and 3g doesn't turn on auto while out of range. If you have other tips, please tell.
