Thanks for the patch. By applying it I think Google maps located quicker on my phone.
As to the Network Time Protocol Server part, It's better for UK users to use following setting:

NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org

People from other countries can find NTP server in your own country.

thanks for the tip
the patch had no effect as far as i can tell
but maybe now after editing NTP to my country it will help

This is part of reason why I was enquiring as to what the patch does in a previous post... most advice I have read on GPS speedup seems to be about adding something like:

server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 2.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 3.europe.pool.ntp.org

server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

to /etc/gps.config - obviously with appropriate region and country codes.

I am curious if the patch adds a fixed set of codes (and if so what? - can anyone who has run the patch check?) - or are the codes added in some smart way that determines region automatically? Or does it replace the whole file?

I think also apps such as GPS Status may overwrite the gps.config file (via Manage A-GPS State option) so probably not a good idea to use both?

Hi guys. I'm new to this community, so I wanted to do something for the community.    

So, am presenting you a little A-Gps mod / patch for faster satellite acquiring. I think you all familiar with this mod, but no one did put it on a ROM or a single patch, so let me be the first guy to do this. (my excuse to all of You if I'm ain't the first)

It's a simple installation ZIP archive for your Clockwork Mod recovery , Boot, install, enjoy (You all now that   , right). You could do a backup, just in case. You never know....



DOWNLOAD

Please put some comments if it's working? I'm using a iGO ver.8.4.2.139242 and in open space (outside) acquire gps signal in 2 seconds, in close space (house) in 6-8 seconds.



Don't forget to say thanks!    

Greeting from Serbia!

Is this safe? I've done similar to my blade and had to backup rom because GPS stopped working

server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

Is it possible to change ALL the values to "de.pook.ntp.org" ? Or what whill happend if i change them? Nothing? Better performance? Errors?

Don't know - I would say why not try editing the file and try, but... I have tried editing the file via root browser and I can't save changes. I don't know why - tried adding file permissions to original rw-r--r-- but that didn't help.

Anyone able to suggest why I would not be able to save edits on this file?

Also still would be interested to know what the OP's patch does to /etc/gps.conf?

[RaTToX]

Today i changed The values to "de" again . IT works! But  i dont think faster.

You can edit the zip-file in PC and flash it to your device. Thats how i do that.

Have you wipe it all? (data,dalvik & partition cache and battery stats) This is no System important file. System can run without this. Something other is a problem.

[khalid adel]

i do that 1st time when installing the atomic rom 13

but when i tried to install this patch like following:

1- entering CWM

2- install from zip file (A-gps patch)

3-reboot the system

then the green logo hang and nothing to do , then i've to reinstall the rom with all wipes
