Quick GPS location on any Android smartphone

Hi friends, today we will attack the subject localization, which is one of the most used features on a modern smartphone. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Youtube, Bing will all your location!
Almost all applications use GPS data, especially for navigation, and search engine you need to know location, otherwise where would know to show you relevant results for Romania or the country you are visiting?
A recent years science localization has evolved a lot, have launched networks positioning us like sons GLONASS (Russian system), we have introduced new technologies like A-GPS (asisted GPS), all for a location more accurate and faster. Still, all these innovations, our smartphones moves too slowly when it comes to location. What use 8 cores in SOC, you must wait 2 minutes after GPS to determine your location?
You should know that most of the lost time location system (GPS + GLONASS + A-GPS) to determine location, is consumed reading of unnecessary data.
A-GPS does not need to read only data relevant to Romania or another country where you are.
Us today will ease your work by changing the file system location gps.conf
Why do we need?
1. Phone or tablet Root
2. file gps.conf romania or suitable location
3. A root browser or any root file manager
4. An application to verify the localization GPS Test (Optional)
Gps.conf Unzip the zip file and copy it to / system / etc / .Sfatul and keep my old file gps.conf to it can be used in case something does not suit you. After you have copied the file system gps.conf in / etc / need to change file permissions in 0644 (as in the tutorial) then you must restart the phone.

  • But in case, let's say you leave your phone in another country without using the phone to your remember the location where you stay and want to go back home with a browser like iGO, which uses only the satellites, ii May found or finds difficult or have to put the old file back? Google Maps know that goes with wireless or GSM networks.

    • You will find no problems satellites even if you leave the country. This makes you faster gps.conf location in the country, it will go off exactly as before.

  • Cristii, I don't have any .gps.conf ... I mention that I have tel.rootat.si custom rom installed .., it is possible that the one who modified the rum removed it completely, as I searched in other files and I don't care about him.

  • I add to what I wrote before, as the gps.conf file was still missing. I introduced it in the place mentioned by Cristii, and I found that it works ,, ... indeed it connects ffff quickly to satellites, .5-7 sec. but I think it's still a problem, ... When you do the GPS test you saw it gives a very high accuracy .. Ex. At me 4 meters even, but when you open a navigation application like google maps. he doesn't have that accuracy anymore ... It's a difference of 150-200 meters from where I should be., and I've been waiting to see if he adjusts his distance but .. It seems not .... Take a test too.

  • It works great on a 2 Note LTE rooted. Too bad there is not a similar solution for smart sites nerootate.

    • Hello LiviuFlorin,
      Try viptrackpro on Google Play. I've tried it on a Samsung S3 nerootat and went excellent, even without the location we started. I think that was using WiFi or GSM cell.

  • Do you still have the tutorial on surveillance systems in mind? complete with poe everything .. it's impossible not to have it installed in your home. :) if not, it's a good video tutorial opportunity when you do it for yourself.
    I want to put in store. I want anything remotely good. filming / recording at night when it's dark and the lights off or weak light source. and be IP cameras. with a good grip on the wall. You can have time to do you recommend to me a model of camera.
    I would like to have sd card and you can get from another location to see the room records.
    thank you.

    • Even in the period ahead will make a tutorial about cameras and possible configurations. In progress.
      I think you have someone infiltrated, you guessed my thoughts, otherwise I can't explain ....

  • sal I have 2 laptops an acer and an asus with different processors. I will give you some details about the 2 processors and I would like someone to tell me ,, Which processor is better? ,,.
    ACER ASPIRE 5738Z - INTEL PENTIUM dual-core processor T4200 ** (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB, L2cache **). 4.00 GB RAM.
    ASUS K73E - INTEL ** R PENTIUM ** R CPU B940 @ 2.00 GHz 2.00GHz .RAM 4.00 GB.
    thank you

    • ... I answer myself ... correct is 0644, I was confused for as on a note2 LTE rooted with CM11, it works excellent and fast, and on a note3 rooted with original software it moves very hard .... harder than with original gps.conf .... what is the cause ..? ?

  • Sorry I posted this question here, but I posted it to the appropriate subject, but it didn't answer anyone, that topic has been posted since 2009 ...

    I bought 2 Blu-Ray Discs, I installed BrnAware but my optical drive does not recognize! You must have an optical drive "more special" to burn a Blu-Ray, or with mine, but I do.

    Thanks for the reply!
