What exactly does it do and what are the exact results?
Just faster fix or also increased accuracy while on the move?

Native mode > force system to download and inject the XTRA data to the GPS.

SU mode > Only download de lto.dat

In fact, it's only help in faster fix and maintain a fix... and if you didn't have a mobile connection, or you will go far away from civilization; you can dowload, before go away, the gps aid files in order to have a faster fix without any kind of connections do you understand me? I cannot uderstand me!

If I'm not wrong it downloads lto.dat and xtra.bin files. It also let you choose your preferred ntp server.
Basically it helps to get a faster lock.

I really can say that it works; after installation my SGS was able to get 11/11 with Gps Status in two places where my SGS only could view a maximum of 8 satellites.

The accuracy is a different story we have to live with, but this app is really a must have ( unfortunately )

Gracias ondoteam, jejeje

I'll translate it tonight or tomorrow if nobody has done it before.

Example to translate text:

Spanish -> <string name"something">¡Hola!</string>
English -> <string name"something">Hello!</string>

As you can see, the bold text it's the only one thing that change

Ale, hecho, de nada
PD: lo he hecho lo mejor posible, seguramente habrá algún que otro fallo xD
