[26.Aug.2011][Dev] GPS Libraries v2.1 with AGPS support for HD2 Gingerbread

This implementation is based on GPS Library in HTC-HD2 Android Libraries. (Thanks to dan1j3l.)
You can find my modified source code and AGPS development info in the second post.
New Features:
Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
Show or hide the GPS symbol in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182.)
Modify the Accuracy (i.e. Error in meter) to be more reasonable.
Add AGPS interface. (Won't see "no AGPS interface in agps_data_conn_open" in logcat now.)
Add the missing functions to receive the NTP, XTRA, and SUPL settings from gps.conf.
Add AGPS implementation including injecting AGPS data (xtra.bin) and NTP time into the gpsOne engine.
Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel.
Show DOP/HDOP/VDOP values in GPS Status.
Show Altitude above Geoid (i.e. mean sea level) and Geoid height. (You will see both of them in GPS Status. The value within parentheses is Geoid height.)
Show correct SNR (Signal to noise ratio) value.
Activate the AGPS data injection. (You can get a cold lock very quickly due to the working AGPS.) (Thanks to qwerty_7564.)

Known issues:
Accuracy value is for reference only.
Position Accuracy (meter) = HDOP (unitless) * Measurement Precision (meter). (Please confirm whether this formula is correct.)
We only get the correct HDOP value, and we assume the value of Measurement Precision, and then do a post calculation to get Accuracy. So don't trust it completely.
Some ROMs are not compatible with NMEA version of libgps.so.
Those ROMs don't set the correct permission to /dev/smd27, so libgps.so cannot read NMEA sentences from it.
The solution is to flash GPS_NMEA_permission_update.zip for correcting the permission after booting.
Some ROMs suffer from the "GPS off-and-on" bug.
Those ROMs can shutdown the gpsOne engine properly when turning off GPS setting using gps_cleanup(), but they cannot restart the gpsOne engine again because gps_init() is never called when turning GPS setting on after turning it off.
It's a Gingerbread bug which is fixed by applying this commit from the source code.
If you cannot modify the source code, the workaround is to set/add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0 into gps.conf to avoid doing full cleanup.

You can install GPS Status & Toolbox or GPS TEST to test the new libs.
How to inject the AGPS data (xtra.bin):
It will be done in the following situations. (Data connection, WiFi or 3G, is a must in all of them.)
When you turn off GPS in setting and turn it on again.
When you keep GPS on and reboot. (also inject NTP time)
When you keep GPS on and run Leo AGPS Injector. (also inject NTP time)
When you keep GPS on and run GPS Status. (or any similar apps to download AGPS)
AGPS will be downloaded when you start GPS Status if AGPS is older than X days or Y hours where X and Y are read from the settings.
Or you can download it manually from Tools.
When you keep GPS on and replace with the modified gps.conf to set AGPS auto-download intervals when using GPS libs v1.8 or above.
AGPS auto-download intervals are disabled in default if you don't modify gps.conf.

How to verify if AGPS works or not:
When AGPS works, you will be able to get a full lock (e.g. 7/7, 8/8, or 9/9) in cold start less than 20 seconds if you're outdoor in a sunny day.
(Full locks mean fix and satellites equals to each other.)
If AGPS not works, you may see 5/7, 6/7, 5/8 (fix is less than satellites) right after you get a lock.

How /system/etc/gps.conf works?
There're three stock gps.conf in AOSP repository for different regions.
1. gps.conf_AS_SUPL (Asia)
2. gps.conf_EU_SUPL (Europe)
3. gps.conf_US_SUPL (North-America)
# Explanations are added. Don't copy them below to your gps.conf.
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org 　 (Used for NTP time injection)
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin 　 (Used for AGPS data xtra.bin injection. Randomly choose from one of these three servers and download xtra.bin from it.)
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com 　 (Be read but never be used)
SUPL_PORT=7276 　 (Be read but never be used)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SUPL_HOST and SUPL_PORT are not used in current GPS libs implementation, so you can delete them.
Supported extra settings for /system/etc/gps.conf when using v2.0 or above. (Only valid for HD2)
Beginning with character # means this line is a comment, so you can remove it.
You don't need to add any of them if you don't know what they are.

AGPS works in v1.7. The following workaround is for v1.6 and below versions only.
Instructions for the AGPS data Injection.
There're at least three methods (I recommend free apps here.) to be able to inject AGPS data.
GScript method.
Script Manager method.
LeoAGpsSwitcher_0.1.apk method.
GScript method is the base, so I describe it as follows.
Please download libgps_Switcher_v1.6.zip, decompress it to your SD card, and follow the steps below if you want AGPS support.
You need to repeat steps 4 and 5 every time when you need AGPS.
Put the following files in the SD card.
/sdcard/ClockworkMod/GPS_Libraries_v1.6_for_HD2_Gingerbread_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
/sdcard/ClockworkMod/libgps_with_AGPS_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
/sdcard/GScript/1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh
/sdcard/GScript/2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh
Install GScript or GScript Lite.
Add 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh and 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh to GScript.
Run 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
After reboot, make sure you have network connection, and wait at lease 1 min to let Android download and inject AGPS data.
Run 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
After reboot, you can enjoy the quicker GPS cold lock.

Changelog:
Version 2.1 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 26)
Both: Remove or reduce some debugging info output to logcat. (Cleanup and optimization stage.)
Both: Output NMEA or RPC version and parsed settings of gps.conf to logcat.
Version 2.0 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 6)
Both: Add GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT in gps.conf to set time between invoking pdsm_get_position(). (Default is 2 seconds. Range is 2~120 seconds.)
RPC: Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel. (NMEA already has this feature. This is for RPC version.)
Version 1.9 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 29)
Both: Include v1.7's latest gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so again.
Both: Add a new thread for getting GPS location locks: (Credits to qwerty_7564)
gps_get_position() is called in its own thread using callbacks to request the next position.
remove unnecessary sleep and the can_send flag in pdsm_get_position().
Both: Remove unnecessary mallocs since there is a performance cost for use. (Credits to qwerty_7564)
Both: Shutdown the gpsOne engine properly on GPS off. (i.e. turning off GPS from settings) (Credits to qwerty_7564)
Both: Support loading the GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED flag from gps.conf. (Set it to 0 if you use a ROM that has "GPS off-and-on bug".)
Both: Parse gps.conf and invoke pdsm_xtra_set_auto_download_params() only once until reboot.
Both: Support the customized fix update frequency, which is set by a GPS tracking app, via gps_get_position(int timeout).
NMEA: Add a timer thread for supporting the customized fix update frequency which is set by a GPS tracking app.
(As a result, we won't see the fast-forwarding effect in time field in GPS Status, and the random hot reboot issue in NMEA version may be fixed too.)
Version 1.8 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 19)
Both: Support automatic (periodic) download requests of gpsOneXTRA assistance data to client. (Default is disabled.) (Credits to qwerty_7564.)
Both: Support enabling xtra.bin download requests and setting download interval from gps.conf.
Both: Include v1.6's old gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (It seems that v1.7's new gps.xxx.so causes the battery drain in some ROMs, but not all ROMs.)
NMEA: Disable $GPGSV report to make NMEA version more stable. (It seems that random hot reboot issue is reduced.)
RPC: Support the negative altitude. (Credits to arne182.)
RPC: Fix the incorrect HDOP value.
Version 1.7 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 10)
Both: Activate the AGPS data injection. (You can get a cold lock very quickly due to the working AGPS.) (Thanks to qwerty_7564.)
Both: Include updated gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (Fix suspension issues.) (Thanks to rmcc.)
RPC: Disable NMEA sentences output and enable RPC Callback function output.
Version 1.6 - (Jul. 05)
Set Measurement Precision to 10.0 meters.
Version 1.5 - (Jun. 26)
Support daylight saving time (DST).
Version 1.4 - (Jun. 24)
A whole new version using NMEA sentences.
Hide Fix/Sats info when you go to basement or tunnel.
Show DOP/HDOP/VDOP values in GPS Status.
Show Altitude above Geoid (i.e. mean sea level) and Geoid height. (You will see both of them in GPS Status. The value within parentheses is Geoid height.)
Show correct SNR (Signal to noise ratio) value.
Disable AGPS Ephemeris data (xtra.bin) injection.
Assume Measurement Precision to 5.0 meters.
Include updated gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (Only one file will be used by your ROM. I suggest to delete the other two files in this zip file, and then flash it.)
Version 1.3 - (Jun. 15)
Fix the reboot issue. (In v1.2, reboot your phone when the GPS setting is off, you will enter the boot loop.)
Inject the correct time to the gpsOne engine.
Comment out some debugging data.
Version 1.2 - (Jun. 12)
Support injecting AGPS Ephemeris data (xtra.bin) into the gpsOne engine by implementing pdsm_xtra_set_data().
Support injecting time into the gpsOne engine by implementing pdsm_xtra_inject_time_info().
Assume Measurement Precision to 2.5 meters.
Version 1.1 - (Jun. 02)
Assume Measurement Precision to 2.0 meters.
Version 1.0 - (May 28)
Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
Show or hide the GPS icon in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182 for figuring it out.)

wow, trying for sure

Edit: Deleted by myself...
Anyway thx for the answer

Nice work~testing
After I mod the gps.conf, the google map works well
but the GPS Test Plus can't find any satellites

Wow! Awesome to have developers like you ! Keep up the good work
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Thanks a lot tytung, just what i was waiting for. Thanks a lot for everything you have done for hd2. I will try and report soon.

What about standby settings? Can i set my gps to work while phone is in standby? (e.g. log my track when jogging)
With Run.GPS it doesn´t work.

Sorry, why this app need?

Change your app.
I think it's the app issue.
The app you used doesn't process the WakeLock properly.

Thanks.
Thank you tytung for all your hard work.

It can make the gps work better ,the old one can't work with gps.conf,the lastest one improve this

can't work with GPS Test Plus , sorry

I reduce fix_frequency and timeout value of gps_get_position(), so it may improve the time you get a location fix.
However, there're too many environmental factors to affect getting the location fix time.
So it still needs more people to test and confirm it.

Interesting.
It works with GPS Test.
I don't have a Plus version.

Thank you tytung!
Can we use it in Sense Gingerbread ROMS? Or only in AOSP ones?

Hi and thanks a lot for taking care of this for us, who are too dummy to make any coding
I want to publish some additional info I have found.
I was playing with libs from MIUI as there gps works better.
The point I want to pick up is this: there is line in build.prop
"ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2"
When I switched the HW lib and added this line to build prop, the cold start shortened from 3-5 min into 30-50 sec.
Maybe it's not anything to help you, as you can go other way. But ... for any case I wanted to share
edit: PS. I'm with customized GBX12

WOW!
Wow Tytung!! I got gps signal in 2 seconds!!
the only negative thing I can say is that the gps signal was low. Used gps test plus, and the gps signal was at 30, usally it's 50- 70.

[JVP] Automatic brightness fix DIY

I've made this thread to show you how to fix this frustrating bug. After few steps you'll get working light sensor better than in previous GB versions
Files need to be replaced or edited:
- services.jar
- framework-res.apk
- sensors.default.so
Recommended kernel:
- Galaxian*
Based on original Samsung sources
All Voodoo addictions (color fix, sound V9)
CPU frequencies: 100MHz, 200MHz, 400MHz, 800MHz, 1000MHz, 1200MHz, 1300MHz, 1400MHz.
CONFIG_HZ=500
CWM 3.0.0.5 based on, and fully compatible with CF-ROOT
Light sensor polling 1s instead of 2s
Compatible with RFS and EXT4
Much more I can't remember
What needs to be done:
framework-res.apk edit
1. Get apk manager (attached)
2. Put framework-res.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder
3. Run apk manager, decompile with dependancy (option 10)
4. Drag twframework-res.apk from your ROM into the script, or extract it somewhere and type path to it
5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\arrays.xml
6. Replace two sections:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
<item>30</item>
<item>300</item>
<item>600</item>

New version of sensors.default.so! Now all 4 steps are working!
BTW. With those files you will now loose BLN!

Thank you very much in providing this fix.

Thks
This is what I have been waiting for....
I will recompile my services.jar n framework-res.apk and incorporate them into my custom rom.
Thank you so much!

It fixes the Auto brightness issue in some kernels.

i guess when auto brightness is checkedit is not reacting or reacting wrong?

Im guessing this only works on deodexed?

This is a fix of the moth !
THANK YOU SIR !
btw., what kernel is this? your own ?
Simce I can't find Galaxian anywhere on the forum.
Btw. where are the attached binaries from? Extract from original JVP kernel ?

In some kernels the brighness is reversed or totally wrong.

Well, I'm off to check it out...
And to the OP thanks, I'm interested to see what effect this has...it's not that I'm lazy, I just still lack confidence in my adb (dis)ability or I'd be more inclined to try and do it myself.

Ill look at this properly, but couldn't you put this in a CWM flashable package? Thanks if you can.
Sent from my ever changing Galaxy S

CWM flashable package, please

The biggest "problem" is that you need to change values in the framework.
And that one is connected to the theme you use.
Battery color / lockscreens stuff like that.
So making 1 general CWM is a problem....
If you encounter brightness problems, like not responding to changes or bright light in the dark (when it should be darker)
Then but only then consider this mod, if you do not know how to do it, then ask the theme maker.

ill rephrase my question =)
why those fixes (left stock, right this fix/tweak)
ALL_BRIGHT from 15 to 255
ANIM_STEPS from 10 to 50
AUTOBRIGHTNESS_ANIM_STEPS from 10 to 50
LIGHT_SENSOR_DELAY from 2000 to 1000

@$omator: it`s working! i think this is the only relevant answer!
you know a better way? then do it and start your own thread!

I'd like to try this fix but I can't because each time >compile< gets me an error in APK Manager! Something like "unknown source" and "could not exec command". Does anyone here have any success with this fix and Bezke JVP-ROM?

[BETA] AGPS fix for HTC One X - Andorid Revolution 18.1 ONLY

BE WARNED​
THIS PATCH WILL ONLY WORK ON​
MIKE'S ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_18.1)​
This patch will currently only work for the "Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_18.1" ROM because within this patch there is a modified build.prop. When you have done changes or custom settings on this ROM within the build.prop they will be lost and revert back to mike's defaults.
1. What damn changes?
I have add the value
ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2
Click to expand...

to the build.prop
This should be required for enable AGPS by default. Not sure if this is true but on the one hand it seems to work and on the other hand this is a BETA patch.

If you have additional parameters or other recommendations, please feel so free and submit this here.
3. How to test?
I have this configuration on my HTC running and it was a need to wait and also to travel arround to get an exact result. I was only Google Maps using and testing. If you have different Navigation Systems installed please also check and test this.
4. How fast?
GPS lock takes 1 to 3 seconds - than it's done. WiFi is also enabled so it doesn't matters if you are using UMTS/GPRS or WiFi.
5. Bugs?
Yes. At the moment it takes some time until you get the first exact result. At the moment it is only between 3 to 10 meteres exactly.
6. Goal?
I want to have a real 99,995% result and want to get a result with a different of max. 1 meter.
For this it would be great if you can give a Feedback please. Thanks!!

Help-me!

BE WARNED​
THIS PATCH WILL ONLY WORK ON​
MIKE'S ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_18.1)​
This patch will currently only work for the "Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_18.1" ROM because within this patch there is a modified build.prop. When you have done changes or custom settings on this ROM within the build.prop they will be lost and revert back to mike's defaults.
1. What damn changes?
I have add the value
to the build.prop
This should be required for enable AGPS by default. Not sure if this is true but on the one hand it seems to work and on the other hand this is a BETA patch.
2. Show the content of the gps.conf

Friend! I'm currently with Android Rom Revolutions 18.1. I did the tests off the wifi and data and then immediately turned the Sygic which took about 4 seconds to find my location. Do you think I should do some correction? : Confuso:

4 seconds to find your location? Is this bad or is this good?

I'm on 4.2 AOKP Rom and changed the files by hand to your Version. My GPS Works much better now.
My Lock Time on AOKP was 4 - 10 Minutes. With your Version i've got 1 - 2 Minutes on first Lock and 2 - 10 seconds on each relock!
:victory:

Great! Glad to read this

[WAR MOD] || CPU & VM Tweaks | Battery Saving

Please read this entire post before doing anything.
Pretty straight forward modification that will increase performance and save battery life. You must be rooted to apply this.
Drop this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h0ET7pYHdPB32v-ZtK5pEMlwlHNn8O46/view?usp=drivesdk
... into this location (replacing the existing stock one):
Code:
/system/vendor/bin
Basically, there is a file in that sub-folder "init.qcom.post_boot.sh"
You are replacing that file with mine, which I've made the following changes to:
-modified hispeed_freq and hispeed_load parameter for both CPU clusters so they run more efficiently
-modified vm parameters in /proc/sys/vm to allow a little more RAM to be used. USE YOUR RAM, that's what it is for! I don't like having a full 900Mb of free RAM, then having apps refresh when they are opened again.
-added a script to limit the maximum display brightness (this is still very usable, but it will be more power friendly. The stock settings are way too aggressive)
- there will be much more to come, this is just to start us off
Also, after you drop the new file into the folder, change the permissions to:
Code:
rwxr-xr-x
then reboot/power up
The .sh file executes on its own after each boot. No more CPU apps.
You will see a noticeable difference in battery life and performance. :good:

Yes could you please give me step by step on how I post apply this to my device because I cannot give it permission and then when I do get to permission changed it keeps saying that ignore it it snow please help

Hey bro,
Can you make this mod for the sdm 636?

SMD632 is the ID.
Pretty sure yours is SMD636

replace file let's see if anything improves
original file has size 200k
your 41k
restart system has again 200k
this is normal ?

How is this working for those that have used it?

I'm curious too..I've benchmarked my G7 and got a baseline for performance and will eventually try this to see if it improved things..but first I plan on trying some of the tweaks available in Magisk.

this mod doesn't seem to stick as it always reverts to the stock file. why not just make a custom flashable kernel?

Is there guidance to make the change persistent after a reboot. This is my first A/B device and things seems little different now. I am unsure if Motorola is restoring the vendor partition or if the reset isn't related to something else.
I've been trying to avoid installing TWRP due to lack of development and was hoping to apply this with either the stock recovery of just in the file system.
*edit.
I guess Ill look into disabling dim-verity without TWRP, I think I saw a way to do it. Or maybe boot TWRP from the command line instead of installing it.

I made a magisk module to load this file.
See Page 2 to download.

Download ?

Without anyone making twrp flashable zips of the updates I am remiss to install it. If more mods come along that require workarounds like this one I will pull the trigger but for now, this one change does not warrant TWRP for me anyway.

Someone can feel free to fix my misspelling of Kernel in the mod as well.
I had some free time this morning and I fixed the module. I have no idea if it helps or not.
It does not include everything in the original post, only the changes at the bottom. I take no credit or responsibility for this, all I did was turn the changes into Magisk Module. The code below is the changes that get made.

Themes / Apps / Mods [MOD/magisk/root] GoogleWiz - my magical Magisk module (for devs/sharing !!!)

I'm posting this here for the benefit of the (developer) community.
Attached is my personal "magical" Magisk module for P6P.
I strongly suggest that you DO NOT INSTALL this ... first read below ... If you don't understand what is written below, stop reading and go back playing with your phone ;-)
What is this module doing:
- it "hides" a lot (> 80) of system APKs which I do not use (e.g. NFC, Pixel Tips, Security Hub, MusicFX, ...) - so these literally "disappear" from your phone (Magisk hiding); this works by "bind-mounting" an empty directory over the APKs' file system
- it has a bash shell for "su"
- ad blocking (hosts file, mounted as /etc/hosts)
- it has a series of init.d (mounted as /etc/init.d) and service.d (mounted as /etc/services.d) scripts that do various things (e.g. kernel tuning, disable various debugging, disable swap, run sqlite optimizer, charling limit, ext4 tweaks ...), some things will NOT be relevant to you (e.g. there are scripts that install obf maps for OSMAND)
- a number of binaries (e.g. bash, busybox, xmlstarlet, find, (g)parted, ...)
- a number of scripts (mounted in /system/bin) for my personal usage (e.g. a script to make all my settings "stick")
- enables VoLTE (check properties in system.prop file)
So, you need to unzip this module and check the stuff inside, modify as per your liking !!!
This module is a (long lived) decendent from an old (2018) Magisk based ROM on Galaxy S8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...iz-pixelize-your-s8-end-of-life-crj5.3750641/). That ROM was quite popular as it turned the Galaxy S8 into a Pixel like phone. For me personally it was a journey to learn how to develop Magisk modules and gradually became bigger and bigger ...
You CAN install it ... but it may NOT be to your liking (!!!) ... then just uninstall it from Magisk ... no harm done (except that you will have my settings) - check out the script LS99execonce to understand this
Devs: feel free to (re)use for whatever purpose ... sharing for the benefit of the community ... if you do use it, no need to mention me (but you can of course) ;-)
Most of the code is "sh" scripting (and a few "bash" scripts).
If you do run it, there will be logging info in /data/googlewiz, just do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cat /data/googlewiz/*
... and
# cat /data/LS00* (init.d scripts logging)
# cat /data/LS99* (services.d scripts logging)
Hopefully some of this can help you in developing your own magisk module.

Which file in your module lists which app get disabled/hidden?
I would prefer to go through them manually first

Unzip the module, then check all the directories which have an ".replace" file, e.g. on linux do:
Code:
> cd mydir
> unzip googlewiz.zip
> find . -name '.replace'
That wil show you the paths of the APKs which are hidden.

Np, I am a Linux user too
And you are sure that you can safely disable all that stuff?
I see several packages that I had disabled in AFWall+ and I noticed that some things got broken.

I don't have broken things. But I don't use certain things either, e.g. NFC, one handed mode, pixel tips, live wallpapers, eSIM ... all of these (and more) I have disabled ... but you have to judge for yourself!!!

I probably won't be using this, but this is awesome. I've done similar for one of my very old LG phones and tablets. More of the traditional bloatware, that is.

Like you, I've been disabling all of those same apks, pretty much every one you disabled except for NFC for the rare time I actually use it. I've done that probably for the last ten years on all my devices. You do see a slight speed increase and maybe some better battery life by disabling all of those. On my S21 Ultra I think I had about 135 apk's disabled. Great module.

Hello from Germany...
One of these settings prevents the correct display for some apps.
Here is an example from SwiftKey.
Do you know which one it could be?
In the first picture googlewiz is switched off.
The second one shows the different colors on the same keyboard.
In the third picture you can no longer see the enter button.
It seems to be something about black and white.
If I switch off dark mode with googlewiz switched on, it works without any problems.

Hmmm ... could either be the (a) force dark setting or (b) the gesture pill removal (overlay).
Try the following:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cmd overlay disable com.android.shell:NavBarFrameHeightOverlay
Then check SwiftKey again. Please report if OK or not.

I've been using this for a couple of days now & seems to be working brilliantly, thanks @foobar66!
I have highly modified the package to fit my usage - I have removed: adblocking (as I use adaway), your personal settings, the charge limit, some binaries & I have unfrozen some system apks, etc.
The module still is freezing 37 system apks & is also still running: block dev tweaks, ext4 tweaks, kernel tweaks, scheduling tweaks, swap off script, no log script, stop daemon script & swapiness script.
Everything seems to be running very well! I especially love the green "[email protected]" instead of "raven" when using shell

Actually, the hosts file in the magisk module is an (old) version of the AdAway one ...

I've been using this for a couple of days now & seems to be working brilliantly, thanks @foobar66!
I have highly modified the package to fit my usage - I have removed: adblocking (as I use adaway), your personal settings, the charge limit, some binaries & I have unfrozen some system apks, etc.
The module still is freezing 37 system apks & is also still running: block dev tweaks, ext4 tweaks, kernel tweaks, scheduling tweaks, swap off script, no log script, stop daemon script & swapiness script.
Everything seems to be running very well! I especially love the green "[email protected]" instead of "raven" when using shell

Bye the way, if you do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# gset mysettings
You will have a txt file /sdcard/mysettings ... if reflects your settings in {global/system/secure} namespace. If you ever need to reinstall your pone you can just command line 'source' that file to restore your settings.
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# source /sdcard/mysettings
But please note that not all settings form the Settings app are stored in those namespaces! So it's not a 100% restore.

And ... bye the way ... you can check log files from the 2 main Magisk scripts (post-fs-data.sh and service.sh):
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# data /data/googlewiz/*
The log files for the /etc/init.d/ scripts:
Code:
# cat /data/LS00*
And the log files for the /etc/services.d/ scripts:
Code:
# cat /data/LS99*

Wait, EXT4 tweaks? I thought we only had F2FS?

Nope ... mostly system/ro file systems on ext4/
I have not checked lately how relevant the ext4 tweaks still are ... come from a long history since the Galaxy S4 (lol).
Anyway ...
Code:
# ls -l /sys/fs/ext4/
# ls -l /sys/fs/f2fs/
F2FS for /data (of couse) since there is writing there.
And check /etc/vendor/fstab.*
Code:

Ah yes, the app just gets new updated everyday so I use that to keep up-to-date

Yes, I used these commands to confirm which parts I was running

Hmmm ... could either be the (a) force dark setting or (b) the gesture pill removal (overlay).
Try the following:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cmd overlay disable com.android.shell:NavBarFrameHeightOverlay
Then check SwiftKey again. Please report if OK or not.

Hello.
I'll try this tomorrow.
Should googlewiz be activated when trying?

No because you are just disabling an overlay which is already there.

just a suggestion/feedback as someone who has self created modules that do some of the same things, plus over 30 years in IT:
way too many things in ONE script...personally i separate mine out, not least because you can identify points of failure far easier....
i know it seems a good idea to "everything at once", but it rarely is, and its an even worse idea when you choose to share it, its like trying to herd cats when trying to sort out user issues....
also golden rule of android #1:
never apply something which one person says works 100% and magically for them to your own device
case in point ive just left my S20+ 5G for pixel life again, and previously i had a debloat list (for use with a friends officially listed debloat magisk module) that had 169 package son it. For years i declined to give anyone my personal debloat list, because even with the disclaimer "this works for me, as i dont use any Samsung apps and replace them with Google ones, and never use device function you might" i just know some kiddie will blanket use it and then come crying when it all goes wrong, and i personally dont need that level of drama in my life. I did give my list to the 2 devs i respect and know will treat it carefully, but i would never give it to an end user...i wont even tell end users which packages i hide in magisk or other apps like Hide My Applist, because people just wont make the mental leap to consider things rationally and think for even 30 seconds, "this may be personal to him and wont work for me". Sad but true
