Guest 77chedu Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Update: it is taking a ridiculously long time to acquire a fix. Once it has though, it seems to keep it quite well. I wonder if there is a way to optimise it to acquire fix quicker, without using data agps? Try this. Look for a "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit" line on your build prop (*). If it does exist, change it to "fast". If not, simply add this line at the end dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast Reboot, and test your GPS again. (*) You can easily do it with this app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Tried the build.prop tweak you mentioned, but unfortunately did not work. Thank you for the tip anyway. I did see a YouTube video that was on chinaphones GPS fixes, so I tried what it said, but still no improvement. The video did say a lot of China phones have poor GPS antenna inside, but I don't really want to open up the coolpad and start soldering! I have been trying with just GPS only, perhaps the key is to use WiFi and mobile networks as well? I just wanted to keep data charges to zero that's all. EDIT: Aftering reverting back to my previous Jelly Bean ROM as a test, and comparing the 8297W GPS to my old Huawei and Hudl GPS, I have come to the conclusion that it is not the ROM that is causing poor GPS performance, but the hardware of the phone itself. After all it does work, its just slower to fix than other devices. I think it does mention elsewhere online MTK GPS chipsets arent always that great. Anyway, flashed back to this ROM as it is quite good :) TLDR; Coolpad F1 GPS hardware not as good as other devices Edited March 15, 2015 by KennyPowers2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I do have my phone in hard gel type case, wonder if that is attenuating the signal? (I thought only metal cases caused issues though) Anyway, another issue I'm facing right now, everytime I reflash my F1, I have to Restore Licence on Copilot. Even though I have paid for the app and it's tied to my Google Play account, you only get a certain number of Restore Licence attempts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I thought v3 was lollipop, this looks like its still KitKat. Think I might stay on v2 for a while. Still, good efforts by the dev :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hemanx Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Nice rom but something unusual happening in this rom. I selected default storage as External SD card., it didn't rebooted. Secondly, I installed titanium backup as I usually restore all my apps through this but it showed restore =0. So I went to apps manager and tried to move titanium apps to SD but there is no option of moving app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, good efforts by the dev :) trust me,flash v3.Its the fastest rom till now and it has no bugs.For third party apps install xInternal module so that they can save to external sd.

Guest dinoHR Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) The phone can't get detected by computer when I connect it with usb cable. I mean it does but I can't access the phone due the driver problems. It has not happened with other roms. Anyone else has this problem?

Guest 77chedu Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) would you say to avoid it? I've not installed it yet No, it should be good. But it may have inherited some of the issues present on maucat's. It's probably based on a later than 11 january release, which seems to have some consensus about being his best release so far. I personally like what he's doing on the aesthetics part, on the latest releases, -maucat- and I haven't encountered any major bug since its earliest incarnations, but there's a thread where people are keeping track of some issues. Just be aware, that some of them might be present on this XtremeVanilla Edited May 21, 2015 by 77chedu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
