Hello everybody

I was use Orange Rom P1000JHKA1

http://www.multiupload.com/EQTIKM4IXV
Pass: ce4arab.com

I noted the GPS Performance is better than any other rom I use it

So I thought to get the gps file from orange rom and test it in other rom

The result was fantastic

you can test by Yourself

first you have to root your device

Turn off GPS

then by use rootexplorer Copy the Contents in file 1 to this track system/bin/gpsd.

after that copy the contents in file 2 to this track system/lib.

restart your device

Turn on GPS

and test it

All the files you need in this process can be found here:

I noticed that the files are labeled for the Euro version of the tablet. Will this tweak work for CDMA versions? Has anyone tried it yet?

I guess I could be the first, but I have a question. Brand new to Android, is it possible to unroot in case I have to send back for repair down the road?

Is this works on Indian Tab with GSM phone also ?

(PDA:JK3/PHONE:JJ1/CSC:JJ1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

ok i got the same stats as above, Indian GSM tab and the fix seems to give better results -

1. sat acquisition is wayyyyy better...i can now get 8-10 sats out of 12 on an average, outside...all bars blue...sometimes hitting even 11 when out for a walk...wow!!

2. inside house, all gray i.e. no signal but still acquiring around 6-8 sat's

This is way better than what it was doing previously...am using MayMyIndia Mobile Maps for India...full navigation with voice version...good for India cities...

now only thing to check is how it fares on a drive...

Niiiiccceeeee!!!
After flashing roto JME v4 full, 1,2 GHz kernel and this gps fix, gps and speed are now amazing!

I get a fix after 5 seconds (cold reboot) with 7 satellites in use in my room! lol
This reminds me of my good ol' Milestone which was amazing (at least in this discipline) :D

I've repacked the files without the root explorer warez & the other .APKs which you can get from the market.

You can get it from here:

EDIT: This update is fantastic! It took the GPS on my tablet from being absolutely hopeless (clear sky, could see 5 satellites but wouldn't lock for the best part of a minute) to being even better than my N1! (Saw 7 satellites and got a lock within about 5 seconds). Yay!

    I found the perfect solution

    Hi to all
    I want to state my solution I have found
    I live in Greece
    Tests in my house, in the same position.
    With my stock files 1 sat reception.
    Changing the files from the first post and from the post before mine, I had no sat reception.
    Making the solution from the webpage I had found, 9 sat fix in the same house position.
    You don't need to root the phone to apply this.

    I have the Verizon version of the Tab and looked for the files. I do not see system/bin/gpsd on my device. I am rooted and can see files in the bin directory. There are no folders there. Am I missing something?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    It'll actually hoses GPS on the VZW Tab (I went ahead and created the directory and tried it out just for fun). The market app GPS Status, though, does a download that seems to improve the acquisition time on satellites for me. Nothing dramatic, but my GPS performance wasn't that bad beforehand.

    New files should replace old ones as this is not a new feature you install, only a kind of update/improvement. I would have wondered if there where completely "new files". As well there is such an increase of performance on gps that I simply cannot belive that it was integrated in Overcome already. The only question I am asking myswlf is: Why the hell Samsung did not find out this improvements? Or did they not apply it because of negative effects on phone? Anyway I am happy with that...

    send from my SGT with Overcome...
