I am confused.

There is no "gps.conf" in my /system/etc directory...
But there is a file named "agps_profiles_conf.xml".

Will this work for my device anyway? (Acer Gallant DUO - Android 4.0)

Just had to add a quick thumbs up for this list. I use an SGS3 i9305 in Canada, so the model was never designed to be used in North America. Staying on a stock ROM, I've usually had a pretty decent GPS fix, but would sometimes have to wait as long as 15 seconds. However, I detest Samsung bloat and have been flashing several of the 4.2.2 AOSP ROMs that have appeared recently. They always have atrocious or non-existent GPS for me and force me to return to a Sammy ROM. I downloaded the canada.zip file from this post, flashed it after flashing the AOSP ROM and gapps, but before rebooting and my GPS fix rocks. The longest fix so far has been 6 seconds and that was inside at night. I used to try fixing GPS with the Pimp my ROM app, which appeared to be downloading from the same list, but it never worked like flashing the Canada gps.conf file with the ROM. Big thumbs up.

Working for me

Thank you so much...position accurate to 10m and lock speed has also improved.

Those who are facing error while flashing zip file, extract zip file and copy gps.config file into /system/etc and it's done.

/etc/gps.conf

You're looking in the wrong folder dude
nah. doesn't matter, /etc is linked to /system/etc
he should definitely find some sort of a gps.conf

please post the output of "ls -la /system/etc" - I'll look into it (hope I'll remember)


on-topic: VERY NICE! been search for this for a long time. I almost did a collection myself :) THX!

Question

I originally posted this in Galaxy S II development, but reckoned it might be useful for any of you.These are ClockworkMod flashable gps.conf files for all available countries and all continents.
What is the reason to carry string "xtra.bin" to the next line in gps.conf (for Russian Federation or Uzbekistan, for example)?
Code:
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/
xtra.bin
I guess those string must be placed at one line in gps.conf:
Code:
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
