Good info. But they have been working on editing the these files for a very long time over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630&highlight=gps

I notice in the thread for the HD2 that they have a _LOT_ of config settings in the GPS.conf for each zone. I'm pretty sure that we could generalize down to the NTP Pool for whichever country, but how about the rest of the servers? I'm pretty sure I can't (or shouldn't be able to) reach the T-Mobile SUPL address from a Verizon account (That and it probably wouldn't help since T-Mobile is GSM and not CDMA, so completely different towers). I also noticed that most of the extra config stuff was missing from this post's versions

So would most of those other config lines in the GPS.conf from the HD2 thread help or hinder? Does having more than one NTP_SERVER host line actually just add extra servers to the queue cycle or does it overwrite the setting in memory?
Lots of questions, and I haven't found any really helpful documentation in the Android SDK on the gps.conf (only on calling for location data). If we could make region/country specific ones that have some of the other additions (extra AGPS data specific to carrier, or other goodies)... then that would make a nice update to these generic versions of the config files that the HD2 crowd has made for their phone.

Hi.

Sorry about my noobiness, I forgot that.

But it failed anyway with "status 0"

I've then toggled signature verification on an retried, and it says "signature verification failed" and " Installation aborted"

Is it normal to fail the signature verification if on?

OK, Thank you.

Tested and working, but I'm not so sure that I had a visible improvement. Time will tell. I had europe.pool.ntp.org before.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll keep testing.

    Hi,

    Nice list but isn't there a file for Austria?

    Thanx :)

    Sent from my Desire HD

    Something went wrong when signing the .zips, I've added the Austria one.
    Downloaded the Norway.zip and...
    Love it! Made my position accuracy go from 2000 meters down to 100!
    I really recomend this!

    Quick question th0, is it possible to use two of these at the same time? Because i travel to my neighbour country Sweeden very often and it could be usefull to have the same accuracy over there.

    I'm affraid you can't but since Sweden and Norway are in the same time zone (right?) it should improve there too. Otherwise I'm affraid you'll have to flash them

    Sorry for noobing around :) --> should I just extract the zip file and copy the inserted gps.conf to the etc folder? What (quality)difference does it make using the europe zip instead of the switzerland zip alone?
    Quality difference isn't noticable I think, but if you travel a lot I would just go for Europe.

    You can extract it and place the gps.conf in /system/etc but you can also flash the file with Clockworkmod.

    Hmm, not too sure. Just move this file to /system/etc and replace with Rootexplorer will do the same.
