[ROM][GSM][AOSP AND CM9] External BT GPS Roms and source code released

Hi all,

I've finally managed to get my hands on a galaxy nexus and have ported my external bluetooth GPS patch to Android ICS. Please test and report back issues.

I will prepare a CM9 build when this build has undergone some testing.
Update

I must say I'm glad you managed. I would like to know how?

For now, I'll stick with AOKP with Bluetooth GPS (application wich does the same)

All CM9 devices can also build from source. see instructions from my site.

It works!!!
Samsung captivate on THS CM9 alpha.

Two improvements/suggestions:
- Display the device's name instead of BT address when selecting GPS source.
- Seems like GPS turns itself off after a certain time if the selected GPS source did not connect. I think that this needs to be a bit longer. Sometimes my globalsat reciever takes a little time to connect.


Great work!

Hi, I've evolve bluetooth device, paried bluetooth - CM9 (13.6.2012 build) but it will never connect despite I selected it as source and enabled GPS (I did some combinations and it did not helped). So I downloaded bluetooth GPS application from market which successfully logs to GPS - but for example I have to click on connect button for the three times (sometimes) - it simply tells (if it fails) "connection refused". So I'm not sure what to do with the native implementation and how to force it to connect to my BT gps.
