GPS tester for Android ROMs

GPS tester for Android ROMs

This program uses Android's HAL functionality to completely bypass Java Framework layer and directly connect to GPS satelites and then outputs received information into the terminal.

How to use

• Make sure Android NDK is installed and ndk-build is in your path.

• Create build_config.local file with your environment configuration. Example`

export ANDROID_SRCDIR=/mnt/android-workspace
export SYSDIR=/mnt/android-workspace/out/target/product/gtexslte/
export AUTOPUSH=true

• Run build.sh.

• By default copy gps-test menually to your device or use AUTOPUSH setting in build_config.local to do that automatically after compilation.

• Use adb shell /data/data/gps-test to get the output. You can also execute the program from any terminal inside Android.
