Root codefireX 4.2

testbuild (last on the list) with working BT, but still no GPS


I'll be watching this and probably trying it as I like the ROM but needed BT. However, I feel that a lot of people are saying the 'ROM has GPS problems' when it's actually their phone and/or system config. that's the cause. Either use 'Fasterfix' from the Play Store to set up your gps config file for your country and/or fix/change the GPS antenna.

I seem to remember that when the DHD came out there were lots of 'GPS problems' as well ......

Installed. Very smooth, no issues so far. Confirm that GPS works - mine got 2 sats INDOORS within 5 secs. Then 8 when I put it nearer a window. That was before I did the 'fasterfix' to get the correct ntp servers. I rebooted and got 7 sats. inside in less than 20 secs.

BT connects up OK but not tested the quality yet.

So, a 27 month old DHD running 4.2.1 .... :D
