New Location services (possibly related to framework-res.apk's strings)

[AirieFenix]

Using MIUI v5 4.12, on Xiaomi Mi-1s.

Ok, I already point this issue in one of the changleogs and in a thread I created (http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/location-services-point-to-china-fix.20077). Basically, location services don't work. Half the time, the device points to China, half the time it says "unavailable location".

I already tried re-flashing gapps, pushing Google's services apks into /system/app, pushing just the location ones, faster fix, GPStest... But the new came when I delete BaiduNetworkLocation.apk, since then Android insists that has location services deactivated. So, I assumed MIUI is pointing somewhere somehow to BaiduLocation...apk.

I decompile the framework-res.apk and in the strings.xml I found:

<string name="config_networkLocationProvider2">com.baidu.bms.location.BaiduNetworkLocationProvider</string>
    <string name="config_geocodeProvider">com.baidu.bms.location.BaiduGeocodeProvider</string>

Please, somebody does can take a look? It doesn't seem right, and I'm looking that it happens here and there to some users.

I'm trying to recompile with the Google provider, but I'm having issues with apktool, if somebody can recompile using V5 4.12 for Mi-1s and post it, would be great to know if that solves it.

Here's a fix:

But not sure if it REALLY is a fix.. At least it's an attempt

Yes, I'm using those lines but I can't re-compile (issues with apktool, I'll check it when I'm back at home). Thanks.

Thanks, ingrbzy.

Here you go:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29239599/framework-res.apk

Simply took the MI one rom, edited the strings.xml in values folder and recompiled.
Hope that does it

Thanks, ingrbzy.

Its a part file, not xml You need an additional script which merges .part files into xml files.

Is it possible I have the same problem on MI 2? Or is it something else?
If so can you please make a fix for us as well?
Thank you

I need it too

 

[Rucha]

Try [URL='http://rucha.dyndns.org/stuff2/framework-res.apk']this one.[/URL]

 

[Vesko]

Try this one.

How to replace it?Like normal system apk,or have to do something special?

 

[Rucha]

Just put into firmware archive and flash it. But AFAIK this is not necessary for latest firmwares. Only obsoleted firmware is needed to be fixed.
