New App: FasterGPS

I developed a new App called FasterGPS to speed up the process of getting a GPS fix! Also Open Source and without ads ;): http://code.google.com/p/faster-gps/

Blocked domains in China

Add https://smarthosts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mobile_devices/hosts to your Hosts Sources to work around blocked DNS requests in China. This hosts source contains redirection rules for Google, Facebook, and other. (You need to enable "Allow redirection rules from Hosts Sources" in preferences)

Download

Build it from Source, get it from F-Droid (also direct download of apk file) or from the Google Play Store.
