Simply AOSP v4 GPS/MAPS BROKEN - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

GPS force closes shortly after setting a destination, and maps is near useless without it.
Anybody else have this pproblem? I have the same issue on 2 Epics, mine and my girlfriend's.
Many thanks.

Use a different rom or telenav. This has been a VERY documented issue in the simply aosp rom thread as well. There is a fix in the works

Thanks for the quick reply, I just never heard about this issue I guess.

Going to be working on the update for Simply AOSP 4.x, and the gps/nav fix is hopefully (barring any unforeseen issues) going to be included.

There's already a workaround (turn volume off on GPS) and a fix (push a few files, located in the thread in dev) in place.
But yes, this is supposed to be fixed in the next relelase which will hopefully come along any day now.

Assuming you're one of the AOSP devs, thanks for the heads up. Great ROM aside from the aforementioned.
I'll be sure to keep my eyes opened for the next release.

Meh, I'll pass on the SRF. Regardless of the GPS issues, I absolutely love AOSP roms. It was one of the first I flashed after entering the realm of Android, and it's the current one I'm running on mine & my girlfriend's Epics.
I'll just stick with Hotspotting my GT10.1 and using the GPS on there, for now. The map looks WAY better on that huge screen, anyways.
Thanks for the input though.

In case you haven't seen it yet, we posted the 4.01 update for Simply AOSP, with 4g hotspot fix and the gps/nav fix.

[Q] Does anyone want to see RandomRom EC05 updated?

I am running RandomRom 2.2.1 Plus for EC05 and RandomKing was thinking about updating this ROM if there was enough interest...RK has done some amazing things and would I would love to see this updated to include the lockscreen mod...Official GB is still a little ways away, so I am still sticking with Froyo...Respond here and lets see if we can get enough interest for RK to make some updates
I am all for another Froyo ROM. I would certainly try it.

Same here yo. I went back to froyo. The leaks all perform crappy after awhile.

I think an update EC05 rom would be great. I can't run the leaks as daily drivers yet, still the occasional reboot or modem failure so I have to stick to EC05 and just test the leaks.
Guess I'll try and toy around and patch in the AIO mod. I'll be updating the Plus version only, for the record. I consider it superior to the Final revision.

Thats awesome RK...The plus version was my choice as well!
For those of you who have run Randoms GB release(s) as well as the his Froyo release, how do they compare?
I've been running the most current Hawk (GB) since release and am quite pleased/impressed. A few bugs aside, I've kept this as a daily. I'm assuming the Froyo build is relatively the same only rock solid (?)
All the leaks are they same, just slightly moddified here and there, so in the end they all end up perofoming like poop. Netflix isn't worth it lmao

I just flashed the Pheonix version of this rom last night, and I'm loving it!
The only thing I'm having trouble with is replacing some of th apps that I'd like to change. For instance, I attempted to change to RandomKing's blue swype and followed the directions exactly as in the Hawk v.2 post. After that, swype started force closing repeatedly. Is there some sort of incompatibility there, or am I just missing something?

As far as I know it won't work, no. Swype is a touchy app when it comes to compatibility. On the other hand, download the swype installer and install their latest beta. Its blue and gray and looks awesome.

Unbearable Keyboard Lag

I'm running RandomRom 2.3.4 on EH17, and this is the only issue I have noticed with this rom.
I am typing horrificly slow right now to avoid [further] frustration.

Yup, I'm looking forward to running a GB rom daily, but won't happen until we get source so we can get the hw keyboard fix. for now i'm happy with Simply AOSP 4.x and revolted kernel. Pretty sure this is the fastest my phone has been.. ever.
This is sad I know. We have to get source to fix it.
I ended up just switching to Simply AOSP to get away from the lag.
Pretty ****ty that this forced me to downgrade.

yup.. i've decided to stick with EC05 based roms till we get GB source (or a version of CM7 that doesn't include the hw keyboard lag issue)

Blame Samsung! But if your solution is to "downgrade", I do offer an EC05 match to ThunderHawk...
Here's hoping this new source find brings together a new dawn for Epic Gingerbread!
Yup.. it's only a matter of time before we see some lovely GB kernels with the keyboard patches built in, and then we'll have some sweet GB action.

Pretty nice, cant wait for epic 4g touch variant.
Wow, that looks slick.
Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

FB17 - Doesn't Vibrate unless in Silent Mode

My phone will not vibrate for a phone call or notification in any mode other than vibrate/silent mode. Anyone else having this issue? also, even with vibration intensity set to maximum, it is extremely low compared to the way it was with Gingerbread. It would really help if you guys tell me what you're experiencing so that I know if its my physical phone, or just the ics builds fault. Thanks.
Yeah same here
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
it will be fixed in the final build
Is this the only bugs from this rom update or is there anymore. Reason for asking i'm looking for a good rom to install on my E4GT that i just bought. I can dealwith no vibrate never use it anyways.
Am I the only one who can't set contact photos.? Ever since I flashed everything works besides that

Haven't tried. I already had contact photos set up before, and they just carried over without any extra effort. The same should've happened for you.

To the vibrating issue... I use vibrate all of the time and went from fb17 to fb21 to blends fb21 hoping there was a fix for this and the other issues. The vib issue was there with every one of them. I ended up being weak and went back to GB. But I did read in the galaxy 2 threads that some people tried sound manager app and that worked. Didn't know if anyone on an ICS rom wanted to try that out on our e4gt's.

No problem. The vibration/sound and SMS/mms issues were killing me but I found a work around for the messaging. I'm not familiar with system and script editing so I had no clue how to tackle the vib/sound issue. Every app I tried said the system vibration was disabled so I gave up.

Yes, that is a known issue. I get it as well. This question was answered (asked by me) on PhantomPhreak's CM10 forum (page 460). But yes, Chris is aware of this.
anyone try notasbroken?
10/17 is a no go as of right now guess we wait for 10/18
Then again no one said how they flashed it..maybe a fresh flash won't let it boot but a dirty flash will?? Maybe something that's in an older build will let it boot..just food for thought.
Random note in aosp ROMs my downloads r slow compared to touchwiz and I read around other people experience this also..and I can confirm cm7 doesn't have this problem..only cm9 and cm10
