GPS Boost

This module provides an improved GPS functionality with a better and faster accuracy location reference.

How it works?

The stock android gps.conf file found in "/system/etc/gps.conf" or "/system/vendor/etc/gps.conf" is replaced with a new one correctly edited for a better improvement and faster satellite signals fix/lock. This file is responsible for the correct GPS operation and functionality. The default file found in most ROMs is very wrong and has a lot of bad information and settings for the correct operation and functionality of the GPS and A-GPS.

Requirements

• A device with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset based.
• Rooted with Magisk and Magisk Manager indeed installed.

Instructions

It’s Magisk install-able, don’t install it by TWRP but with Magisk instead!

0. Download
1. Go to Magisk Manager Modules section.
2. Click on + yellow button and search/find for this “optimizedgpsconf.zip” file and long press on it.
3. Select open and after installed then reboot your device.
4. After rebooted your device, make sure your location settings is setup on mode Device only.
5. Skirt outdoors, can be in the yard of your house or anywhere else with a line of sight to the sky and stay in that outdoor place.
6. Download some Compass app on Google Play Store (I recommend the Compass Steel 3D) and then calibrate the compass.
7. Download GPS Locker app on Google Play Store and open the app and wait for the first time fix/lock. This is necessary and essential because the app will recognize some GPS satellites signals for the very first time.
