So no it is not the same thing at all.

I just flashed on Galaxy Nexus CM10 in Mexico, and before i was getting 5 or 6 in view and 5 in use now i am getting 8 or 9 in view and 8 or 9 in use


Acc 13 ft

You should change the OP and add also mexico we use the same servers




Thanks

I switched and flashed the original binaries from Google and sure the first thing I did was to root. Now I have GPS lock in less than 10 seconds. Great and quite pleasing.

I can't speak for AngryGPS as I haven't looked into it, but mitch's "optimal gps.conf" is the exact same thing you can configure with FasterGPS using the advanced options provided you know what they do.

Which fix is better this or the AGPS patch here?

I had better with this patch. But try them both and decide.

If you want to actually learn how to properly configure your GPS look here.

Lot of settings imo are missing from this supposed fix which never worked for me including that Mitch guys stuff. I've made my own gps conf for Canada and it works great for me with 12-15 satellites and lock ~ 10 seconds which to me is more than reasonable. Anyhow, posted for anyone bent on getting the best gps possible.

^this. Fking THREE SECOND LOCK AFTER THIS FIX! HOLY COWWWW.

This is my config, tried and tested and should work for anyone in Canada. I've only gotten praise from those I've given it too. I can lock typically with 16 feet accuracy in 5-10 seconds after bringing up the phone and Google Maps. I've tried lots of config options over the course of a month, if I even suspected one was hampering my performance I removed it. I use the CarHome and Navigation a lot so it's important for me to have an accurate and fast config. If you're not in Canada just update the particular ntp servers.

/etc/gps.conf

NTP_SERVER=0.ca.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.ca.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.ca.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.ca.pool.ntp.org

You need to update your /etc/gps.conf file and make sure it has the original attributes( rw- r-- r-- ). Use ES FileExplorer with SU rights. When I flash any ROM it's just habit these days for me to swap this one in from sdcard. I use ES FileExplorer with SU rights.

P.S. Hit Thanks if it works for you.
