[EL29] GPS Fix for EL based ROMs

---

I've put together a simple fix for the GPS not working after the phone goes to sleep in EL* based ROMs. Just flash the attached ZIP in CWM and it will replace the following files with the ones from EK02:

/system/bin/gpsd
/system/lib/hw/gps.s5pc210.so

So far, this seems to fix the issue based on testing by myself and others. Network Location seems to be borked as well, but there is a separate fix for that in this thread from odub303.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOUR GPS WORK BETTER OR LOCK FASTER.

If you had issues with your GPS in EK02 as well, this won't fix it. This is just to fix GPS dying when the phone goes to sleep. (Example: you go to work and Google Maps still shows you at home and GPS Status/Test shows no satellites available.)

Sorry for all the red but if there's one thing I've learned around here, it's that people don't like to read.

I'll be the first guinea pig...I have been having problems since I have jumped back and forth between AOSP and TW roms.

thanx op, shame people dl fix 31 times and you get 2 "thanx"

I've been having gps problems too, jumping from miui back to tw
I'm on a EL29 rom, but EK02 modem, will this fix work for me, or is it only for EL29 modem?

I think I jumped the gun saying it worked in the blazer thread, I still have to force close maps when I go from home to work. And my beautiful widgets widget doesn't update unless I reboot. Is this just with the EL ROMS? I will say with this fix it does seem better but I don't think it is completely fixed. But thx op for working on this.

op if i may post a fix for getting fast gps sat locks i use this and get instant locks on any rom/kernel/modem, hope it helps someone.

Did this fix the GPS problem we were looking at in your other thread?

*Wrong thread*

What does this do/replace? Did you make it?
