Every possible way to fix the GPS bug in CM7

I have tried SEVERAL ways to fix it and none have worked. New radios, apps like gps status, trying a new gps.vision.so file, and other ways that I can't remember.
The only thing that I haven't tried is going back to a new rom with working GPS, enabling it, and then going back to a nandroid backup. Might try this tomorrow. Which rom should I try that has a working GPS?
What other ways to fix my gps have I overlooked?
Thanks guys! You guys are always a big help!

What is this "bug" you're talking about? I get a gps lock in about 10 seconds..

rc1 gps ok, rc2 can't find right gps fix
When I first installed RC1, I replacing the gpsvision.so or whatever that file was did fix it....since RC2 haven't found that correct fix file....Anyone have a link to the whatever gpsvision.so the G2 likes with RC2?

Multiple CM7 users have been reporting problems with the GPS on numerous Nightlys. You're one of the lucky ones who hasn't been screwed by the bug lol.
Back to the topic, which Gingerbread ROM has an official working GPS? As in ONLY a FEW people complaining about having gps issues. Thinking about using a Sense rom to get gps working.

For my Desire Z and CM-7.0.0-RC2 I had to downgrade radio to get GPS working.
26.04.02.17 works for me and 26.06.02.27 (latest now) does not.

I can confirm that for CM7 RC2 on my G2 can not obtain a GPS lock.

My DZ works normal

Ditto for me. GPS stopped working when I installed CM 7 RC2.

GPS stopped working in mine as well when I went to CM7 RC2 and hasn't worked since. I'm now running the latest RC. I did get mine to work by flashing a different radio...as soon as I did that, GPS locked. I went back to the original radio I had before and GPS still works.
I think it's just a case of CM7 not reading the radio correctly until the radio gets flashed and forces CM7 to rediscover it. That's just what I THINK is going on from personal experience in computers...if it's wrong, please someone correct me.

I've been using the nightlies every since they started churning them out, The GPS stopped working on one of the builds and I never noticed. I'm currently on build 35 and I simply flashed my radio and GPS locks within seconds now..

[Q] G-sensor/accelerometer/auto rotate not working

hi,i just bought zte blade, rooted, installed cwm, upgraded to gen 2 using tpt method, and installed CM7, stable 7.0.3, also tried RC1, latest nightly and a few random nighlies
and my problem occurs in all of them.... auto rotate isnt working... IT IS TURNED ON in sttings,tried to turn on of tried to reboot tried to wipe everything tried factory reset nothing helps... and i see im not the first one with this problem but all of the topics started about this issue have 0 replies.. this bug is not stated anywhere in changelogs and in fact it makes CM7 unusable on ZTE Blade.. cause you cant always message and browse and do everything in portrait view... i heard its a kernel issue that every overclock enabled kernel on device upraded from g1 to g2 makes accelerometer or g sensor or w/e you call it stop working.. i really love cm7 and i bought this phone thinking im gonna use it on it and this issue is really frustrating please help someone.. please

Try another ROM like Swedish Spring or Ginger Stir Fry and if it still occurs in those ROM's then it's probably a hardware fault.

same hi
hi there, ive bought my blade 2 days ago, and got the same issue you are talking about, i flashed it to swedish and find out that auto-rotate doesnt work, so ive tried different kernel that should have helped, but istead blade didnt even boot, ive also tried newest CM7 with no luck...kinda desperate and confused that there are just few threads about this and no real solution, thinking of going back to stock froyo, but iam afraid of bricking...if u find any solution write here or on email, ill do the same if i find one, thx

New Blades seem to have different sensor hardware. Try Sensor List from market and compare the results with this screen (from Orange San Francisco bought earlier this year):
db.tt/ms5m4i6
(can't post links)

yes your right, thats the source of the problem, my accelerometer is not the same as yours.. heres the screen tinyurl dot com slash 3tqv26o
now me and other peaople wold like to know if there is a way to modify kernel to work with this hardware... i think cm7 developers should be intersted in resolving this

didnt know that, people posting about this on CM7 forums dont get much attention
if they really manage to get it to work that will be my uber happy day like when i had wildfire stock 2.2 and alpharevx came out

I also have the same problem, will hit modaco forums n check if there`s something on it.

Can we calibrate those sensor?

Got my blade yesterday...auto rotate was working well till i upgraded to gen2 and installed cm7. I have being doing a lot of research on that...so if anyone comes up with a workaround, please inform
P.S i am not uninstalling cm7, thats the best rom i have ever seen

Now Brian n the rest, there is no work around on it, tried changing different kernels without success, finally flashed cm7 n installed Ginger Stir Fry, its been 3 days n everything is fine, but remember u`ve already upgraded to Gen 2, so no need of Tpt install, just get the Rom, its also very good at preserving power. with problems hit me up on twitter @alexakams

i also use Ginger Stir Fry because AutoRotation dont work with cm7. its a clean and fast rom, but Elitemovil Blade_Rom is also an option.

I have the same problem. Posted this question on another forum but no answer yet! I tryed ndrive 11 and still doesn´t work.

I have the same problem with ndrive 10, it won't opened but didn't show any FC message.
Ndrive 11 works on my RC3 but I couldn't manage to install the map since it didn't recognised my existing map.
Currently, I switched to Mapdroyd.

CM7 for Idea Blade users!

Good news for Idea Blade users. The CM7 Rom by Burgerz found here works on our phones perfectly. Camera and touchscreen issues are fixed and the Rom is FAST. I'm using it now, you might want to give it a try
Cheers!

Thanks for handing out the information mate because i was getting lots of PM`s about that reason and i could not give a clear answer.

No problem

hi,
Tried the Rom on my Idea blade and camera gives error. the same error as other versions of CM7. "cannot connect camera"

Format all your partitions from cwm and try flashing again

hi couldn't download the rom from official page, could you please upload to mediafire thanks.

Dear jerrinfrncs,

I Have an Idea Blade. Had problem with both camera and touchscreen in CM7.1.0. Yesterday i tried the CM7 Rom by Burgerz. Touchscreen is working properly but still can't use the camera. The same "cannot connect camera" error appears.What are all the partitions should i format? I've formatted data, cache and dalvik partitions. Still the problem persists.

Some newer Blades have different hardware which needs different drivers to work. As ZTE doesn't release the source code for these properly, the current roms won't work properly on all of the newer versions. If may be possible that someone can fix it, but without ZTE releasing the sources it will be difficult for them.

i tried to download from that page but it never completes, gets cut off and can't resume. if somebody could upload to mediafire it would be very helpful thanks

I'm running this one from Burstlam and really like it. I prefer it because Burgerz's using and older (and plain) launcher. Camera works fine also.

You might want yo PM the dev about it. I had similar issues on CM stable but not anymore. Also you can give a try to LewaOS and other Chinese roms. They are based on cm7 fot the V880 which is what idea blade is.

I also had the same problem with CM7.1. Formatting the cache and data partitions might make the touchscreen work (worked for me). Even though you format the partitions, touchscreen will stop working after the phone get into sleep mode and you have to format the data and cache partitions every time the touchscreen stops responding.
I have heard that Libraginger works fine on ZTE-U V880. But the download link seems to be broken. I am working on CM7 Rom by Burgerz even though camera is not functioning as i feel it is much stable and lesser buggier than official ZTE rom.

Is there any way to backup driver for the camera from the stock rom and use it the current custom rom? I know the kernels are different. Still is there any chance?...

Even i had the same touchscreen problem when i installed MMHMP on my idea blade. All i had to do is restore the stock rom which was working fine and then i again installed MMHMP and its working fine.

Any method for custom partition in idea blade?

Well even I'm having the same problem but not just with PAC ROMs...WiFi doesn't work on paranoid android, aokp as well...
Right now I'm running CyanogenMod 11 which is quite stable...have been using it for some time now without any issues...this, and the stock ROM are the only ones where WiFi works for me
If u found a fix please post it ...

My friend had the same problem,his phone could not connect my wifi,but mine could.If you have another phone with wifi try if you can connect.
Sometimes its not phones fault,I fixed my friends problem going to my routers page(192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 Depens what router you are using. )
So I went on routers page,went to Wifi settings and then changed the channel settings(From 01 channel to 04).
And then restarted router.
My friend was able to connect to it right away.
Note:This problem began to appear when he flashed custom rom.
Hope this works for you

Ditto here. Wifis greyed out on most Roms.Add Miui to this list also.. :-/ anyone know what's wrong.. ???
Absolutely NOT router related..
Running pa 4.0 beta here. No issues.

For those flashing KK roms, are you using the latest radio?

Fixed it!
