I had a Motorola Droid that locked indoors almost immediately before getting this phone. This one has been crappy and GPS drops out even in my car sometimes, with this patch it locks inside my concrete block house in about 10-15 seconds. Thanks.
Which version is recommended for this device? Google version, or Google alternate??

Thanks. Just tried it using Google earth, and it found me pretty quick, while on ICS.
To verify "3x" means alternative or just Google. I flash it in clockwork mod just like iI would a ROM?
Thanks!

I'm on CM7 Nightly #134 with Aeroevan's 0.7 BFS Kernel. Which build should I use, specifically if I want to flash it using CWM Recovery?
Okay, when this patch is installed via recovery, is there any way I can tell it worked? (software confirmation somewhere, or a note?)
16. I use GPS Status to test my signal strength. It isn't 100% accurate, but it gives a very good sense of how the GPS is performing.
Any build will work on any device. I always recommend Google Build of v3.1 to all users. If you want something more specific for a certain carrier, those are available as you see. But, those prove to be less valuable than Google's SUPL data.
I'm unable to connect to GPS at all since installing the patch. Is there a way to undo this?
v3.1 update - New Version
introduced the NO SSL version for Google build. Shows faster performance times.
v3.1(HELP WITH THE MAINTANENCE COSTS - DONATE A FEW BUCKS)
introduced my own NTP pools
repaired the LG Alternate build (was same as standard build, compilation error)
v3.0 (HELP WITH THE MAINTANENCE COSTS - DONATE A FEW BUCKS)
based on v2.2 configuration
has my own XTRA/AGPS server instead of Qualcomm
re-added two AGPS variables from v1.3 (two beta-testers saw instant results with these re-added)
re-added on USE SUPL variable from v1.3 (two beta-testers saw instant results with these re-added)
variables are now divided into sections and sections have descriptions
v2.2 update - New Version
introduced the NO SSL version for Google build. Shows faster performance times.
v2.2 (additional builds added)
added a new SUPL version using data from Sony Ericsson
added an alternate release using LG SUPL servers
added an alternate release using Google SUPL servers
updated the ADB PUSH to include new versions
fixed broken download links for the patch
v2.2
removed local AGPS variable
removed local XTRA_SERVER variable
created LG Build with LG SUPL servers (some LG ROMs fail to work with non-LG SUPL servers)
reduced redundancy in NTP and XTRA (unnecessary entries)
added newly located SUPL server to T-Mobile build
v2.1 (encompassing changes between 1.3 to 2.1)
removed two NTP server pools
removed xtra1 server
removed multiple SUPL_HOST entries
aligned SUPL_HOST with SUPLROOTCERT in each package
increased QOS timeout from 89 to 100
removed QOS standalone timeout variable
removed extra AGPS variables
So, let me give you a general update directed to those 3.x trunk users:
- My server has automatically generated an xtra.bin file for your GPS excitement 3,980 times since September 26th when the first beta went online to test it out.
- My server attempts to build a new version every 30 minutes. Depending on what it can decypher from other xtra.bin sources, it provides a totally fresh xtra.bin approximately every 1.2 hours.
- My server has served up over 500,000 xtra.bin files to users like you on XDA since v3.1 was released.
- My server continues to provide a reliable NTP pool to v3.x users by directing your phones to a handful of RELIABLE and FAST-RESPONDING NTP servers around the world. This ensures you can travel and not have to switch NTP pools.
This looks interesting and I would like to give it a go but I am unclear which is the right patch for our device. Nothing is labeled Droid incredible 2 or vivow. I don't use windows so I will use the 2nd method once I am sure what to download.
Thanks,
Bill
