anyone experiencing slow gps lock with the dna? im on viper 1.2, with new radio and all. i tried gps status, it looks for signal for a few minutes and then finally catches it. its quite a hassle when i have to wait in the car on a random street because this damn thing wont tell me where to go in time lol
everything is checked in location settings. anyone have any tips?

If you move from a position and turn the GPS off and restart it in another location I will take time to figure out where it is. Even my Garmin does not like to move when it is turned off and turned on at another location.

oh ok. so i can just flash the zip in recovery, right?
also if it doesnt work, i just copy/paste the old gps.conf into the system/etc directory? can i just copy/paste the gps.conf in this zip over to that folder instead of flashing?

Just flash it. It's easier then messing with permissions.
And yes, if something goes wrong just replace it with the old one.

No need to backup anything , the original gps.conf can be pulled from almost any rom out there and usually its useless

Works great on my vibrant...pretty cool idea. A bit sensitive IMO...I can't zoom in on a pic b/c the shake to zoom back out is really sensitive. The ability to turn on and off solves any issues though...I'm keeping it for sure.
Here's the original Gallery3D.apk for those that replaced it without backing it up first. Needs to be renamed to "Gallery3D.apk," obviously, before being pushed to system/app.

Make sure it's renamed Gallery3D.apk. If you've done that and pushed it to system/app, then it probably worked. You just have to enable the motion feature by pressing the volume down button when in the gallery.

Hm, it's working fine here. It's kinda sensitive, though. (When holding the phone while viewing a picture, I tilt it a little by accident and it zooms all the way, ahah.) But, try disabling it (Volume down key) and see if you can zoom then.

hmm, when you copied to folders did it ask to replace existing? I pulled that out of Gassadena I think, standby I'll post Glasstopia, see if that works
I tried ones from both Glassadena and Glasstopia. I am overwriting the old and have tried both of these twice. Last shot - I wiped Dalvik to see if that would make a differance. I also used root explorer and searched for all instances of MMS on my phone and didnt find anything hiding anywhere else Damn this MMS it is hard to work with!
Yeah i don't know what to tell you, never had that much trouble. This might eork might not, go into glassadena or glasstopia zip and see if there is a copy in data and one in system, if so maybe move both to your corresponding folder? long shot but at least then you'll know if you need a copy in both, because if it has one in both then you know you do too

I recommend this more than the custom apk. This method is built-in and in case for some reason you want the sound back, the option is just a checkmark away.
The apk is also just a check mark.

If you're rooted all you have to do is use Root Explorer and go into:
/system/media/audio/ui
Change the name of "CameraClick.ogg" to "CameraClick.bak"
You can do the same for the video record sound...simple.

Yes, but doing the build.prop mod allows the toggle to be done from within the camera app which makes it much easier to toggle, as opposed to having to switch to another app.
No need to install anything. The easiest solution is usually always the best.
Yes. I didn't know you could do it from the app. Though easiest isn't always best.

I just use Root Explorer and go to System/Media/UI then rename the Camera_Click.ogg to Camera_Clik.ogg just changing a single letter works and you can always restore it if wanted.

Using Titanium Backup, remove the IMS Service. That should kill any WiFi calling remaining in your system. Not too sure about the stability you'll get afterwards, as I haven't tested it. Be the first one to try!

Getting the bubbles back is an easy fix. Using an app like Root Explorer, make your way into System, then the CSC folder. In here, you'll see customer.xml. Rename this file to customer.xml.bak, and restart. Voila, notification bubbles!

Is there maybe something lines that in Customer.xml to activate the bubble, but allow us to kill the instruction?
Just for the information, I'm running CleanROM 3.5, and I don't get the tutorial notifications. Might just be ROM specific. I don't know what lines in the actual .xml file trigger the notification bubbles, I just know that this method helps to get them back. Sorry, guys!

It is the existence of Customer.xml itself that hides the bubbles. You can delete the contents of the file and it still doesn't bring back the bubbles. There is probably a settings line that needs to be added to show them.

On a rooted Stock ROM you can freeze the Help 1.0 application inside of TitaniumBackup. After a reboot you will have to go through the three lock screen tips once more but then you should not see them again.

What bubbles what's this look like confirmed working and such?
So I went ahead and did this. I remember this from an older Samsung maybe my gs3 had it or my fascinate. I don't know maybe this used to have it but I like it. What does the use popup note selection do in the lock screen settings its been checked forever but I've never seen anything happen.
