Thanks!! It's just awesome
Got 8 sattelites in less than 20 seconds, which took more than 1-2 minutes before.
Can smbd please send which patch works on endy 3.3? I tried the Google cwm 3.x but no success, GPS status finds 2 or 3 sattelites and it takes ages... Thnx
Does anybody know if this patch would work on the Samsung Galaxy S phone running gingerbread? If so, which patch should I install?
As discussed previously, some ROM's do not properly support aGPS. This patch cannot fix bad code.
I would recommend installing v1.3 to see if this gets around the issue or not. That was the most reliable version to sometimes get things working when there were more underlying problems. But, I don't recommend that version for those who do not need it.
Nice work ... although GPS was already very fast in my phone this sped it up slightly. Will thank when on pc

Holy GPS Batman! I flashed the google specific patch in cwm and now my phone locks into my position in like 2 seconds. Also, the accuracy is up to 3 meters, which I have never seen before in my phone, the best I have ever seen is 9.
So the patch has greatly improved the gps in my phone.
Samsung Galaxy S (note is not S II, it is the first generation galaxy S) on USA Verizon Network.
Thanks for the patches!
Well, maybe you could explain the basics before shifting the issue to "bad code".
Peters, someone already confirmed it working for Endy v3.2, and there are no changes in 3.3 that would cause issues.
What you do need is a working data connection for this fix to work, don't forget that.
Cheers
PS: Thanks for your your, i plan to include it on my roms.

Just flashed the google specific patch and I got a lock in about 4 seconds, 9/9 satellites, and I'm on lowvelds custom CM7-rom.
In other words, works great! Huge thanks!
GPS in 3.2.1 , lock'n'load baby
Thanks for the patch yo, working on HTC Desire HD @ Latest Hyperion ROM >w< <3
I just took a shot and loaded the 3.1 google specific code on my verizon samsung fascinate (galaxy s i500). GPS locked in under 10 seconds from cold start and I was seeing & using 10 satellites. Before I loaded this patch I let it sit for about 2 minutes straight, saw only 5 satellites and had no lock at all. Seems to work great on the fascinate, thanks!!
Are you guys using an application to see how many satellites you are locked into? IF so, which one? Thanks.
v3.1 update - New Version

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 app does installs a customized gps.conf file for your GPS. It has several different profiles to choose from. We recommend to use the default Google profile but it is up to you. Appart from the profiles you can customize the one chosen.
NTP servers
Derek Gordon maintains a special NTP server pool for you. Dispite what everyone thinks, it is not necessarily the one closest to you which is the best. We consider Derek Gordon's server to be the best option to choose because it has the best data and is most frequently updated.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
aGPS Alamanacs
Derek Gordon maintains a special aGPS almanac for devices using Qualcomm or similar chipsets. This xtra.bin data file is updated every 30 minutes and is located on a content delivery system maintained by the generous donations of ther userbase.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
Donations
To maintain the server we need money. Donations through this app will be divided between Derek Gordon (Crypted) and Zatta on XDA.
Each star costs 2 Euro and will reduce the waiting time before you can install the patch. 0 star users wait 20 seconds, 1 star users 10, 2 star users only 5 and 3 star users and Premium users can install immediately.
You can become a premium user for only 5 Euro. This is a discount of 1 euro compared to a three star user! We choose this method to allow every one to use all features of this app and because we believe in XDA developers users. Please, don't leech!
Backup and restore
On the first run of this app a backup is made on your SD card. Don't remove it because a backup is only made during the first run (or at an update if you choose to remove it anyway) and no other backup is found on your SD card.
ROM updates
The patch this app provides is located on your /system partition so every time you do update your ROM the patch is overwritten and you will have to redo the patch.
Unless you are using a Cyanogenmod based ROM and your rom has addon.d support. In that case a script will be placed in the addon.d directory to preserve the patch.
It can be disabled in the app's settings but is enabled by default.
Asus users
On ASUS roms a typical file is present at /system/etc/gps, namely the gpsconfig.xml file. This app pathes that file as well, to be specific the PeriodicTimeOutSec parameter. Of course a backup is made of this file as well.
