Marcusant's Revival & GPS fix - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running Marcusant's acs-ics v4, acs recovery 1.0.0.5, cwm4. I flashed the gps fix and that's working great.
I'm looking at Revival and haven't seen anything in the 19 pages about anyone having gps issues with his new ROM. Will I still need to flash gps fix after installing Revival?

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't tried the ROM you're referring to, but I would assume it's probably included in it already. Flash the ROM, check it out. If it's bogus, then you can always flash the GPS fix after that.

Thanks. When I didn't see it listed on Marcusant's Feature List http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375345 I thought I'd ask.
Here's a couple of noob questions: Do I need to update to the latest versions of ACS Recovery and CWM to use/download Marcusant's Revival ROM? If so, how do I update to the latest versions of ACS Recovery and CWM? I obviously installed the earlier versions, but that was weeks ago now and I'm old and already forgot how I did it. I'm currently using ACS Recovery v1.0.0.5, and CWM4.

No. just flash

Marcusant Revival V3 still cant figure out GPS fix
I followed the instructions below that I got from searching marcusant revival thread (I'm noob and yes I did look this up before posting haha). However after I long press properties I get the screen that is pictured at the bottom left of this post. Root and Mount are checked in the settings however I'm not seeing any option to "modify the permissions". I love the Red theme and ROM i just need the GPS to work please help anybody haha. [NOTE: I have also tried flashing GPSFix.zip but to no avail]

[Q] Flashing of any JB ROM fails

Hey wonderful people of XDA,
I picked up an S3 yesterday and rooted it no problem. I can install ICS roms fine, but CWM errors out when trying to flash a JB rom (I have included a pic to show exactly what I mean)
It is a Telus S3, but from what I've experienced before with rooting, AT&T should work as well. However, correct me if I am wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Read that. It talks about error 7, although they said they fixed it. The first time I tried to flash AOKP that happened and I just rewiped everything and tried again and it worked.
Thank you! I'll check it out

Google Now working on SGS3 (need root + CWM)

This isn't posted anywhere in the Sprint SGS3 forums (that I could find from searching - yes I did and I apologize if I missed it), and if you are like me, I don't really pay attention to the other SGS3 variants as diligently. I thought it deserved its own thread for people to see here.
Here is how to install the Google Now on your Sprint SGS3 on the stock Rooted TW rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I have done this on my phone and it works great, just like on CM10 preview. You need to be rooted and you need a custom recovery, but other than that, its really simple.
Also, the home button double tap does launch a "Call ____" feature that doesn't work. So if you want to launch Google Now or Google Voice Search from the double tap install this app Home2 Shortcut and set the double tap to whatever you want.
Already have it installed. Just a tip to anyone who is having issues, use the "Back to Stock" zip then re-flash the M6 (or latest version) zip file. I have seen many people in that thread state this resolve multiple issues (at least issues that at not known bugs).

Flash Back to Stock zip, then reboot, then back into recovery, then flash M6 (or latest)?
Or just flash Back to Stock, then flash M6 right away still in the same session of recovery, then reboot?

That's odd. Mine are fine.
Did you flash the Back to stock zip and then the M6 version again?
Maybe try to wipe your cache before next flash?

[Q] Weird graphical glitch.. [ROM][March10][Kitkat] Beanstalk | Release 3.5 | bravo

Every time i go to install [ROM][March10][Kitkat] Beanstalk | Release 3.5 | bravo the install in recovery "succeeds".
When I reboot from recovery, I see the screen for a split second, then a few lines of horizontal color and then it goes black. I can see that it is backlit because of the slight glow. I have no control and end up pulling the battery and restoring from a backup.
Recovery: TWRP Version 2.6.3.0
I had this problem with Release 2 but kept trying and it finally took. Doesn't seem to want to go this time..
Try updating to my newer twrp build.

Others are having this issue as well. I think my recovery is too close to the max size allowed on the recovery partition.
Im going to try to trim it down and rebuild in a few minutes.
In the meantime you could try using 4ext recovery. Its always very reliable for me.
Thanks. I'll give it a try when I get some time.

This is very strange indeed.
I never was able to get either Beanstalk 3.5 or TWRP 2.7 to load up. I follow your build threads and saw that you released Beanstalk 4.
I decided to try and flash it, using TWRP v 2.6.3.0 and surprisingly it worked without a hitch.
Dirty flashed to 4.5 and it's running awesome now.
I've flashed quiet a few ROM's and I've never experienced this kind of thing before. I tried to install 3.5 at least.....5 times without success.
I'm just happy it worked with this version. Excellent ROM!
Just figured I'd post this for some info and closure on this thread.
Thanks for your help. Keep up the fantastic work.

[Q] Need help. Wifi won't even toggle on.

Asking for help on the forums is usually my last result, I can assure you. I've been at it all day now and I keep coming across the same answers and the same n/a issues.
I'm going to make this as easy as possible with the hope that some one out there will be able to help me. Because I hit my data limit and I can't even download a simple app from the Google Play Store.
My Problem: Wifi will not toggle on
My Phone (The current state of the status bar makes me cringe as well. I literally JUST got done with a factory reset)

A quick run through
1. The phone was running 4.3 when I bought it. (wifi worked)
2. I decided to root using CF-Auto Root (wifi worked)
3. I updated to 4.4.2 using the Samsung Kies (breaking my root of course)
4. I re-rooted with CF-Auto Root and flashed the latest TWRP
5. A few days later, I turned on WiFi for the first time and it instantly switched itself back off.
I'm positive I flashed all the correct stuff. I do my research before voiding my warrenty.
(for 4.4.2, I flashed the latest CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5 with Odin v3.09. Afterwards, openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-jfltetmo.tar)
Solutions I've tried:
-Reboot
-Took out the battery
-a few other little modifications I did in root explorer
-Factory reset
If you've any questions about what I've done or any suggestions for things to try, please let me know. I would like to avoid flashing a custom ROM for the time being.
Thank you in advance for any help!
You need to flash a different kernel. Then edit your build.prop and change.....
ro.securestorage.support=true
To this...

Thanks for the quick reply! Any Kernel suggestions for a stock 4.4.2 rom?
Edit: Or if I flashed your ROM, what kernel would you suggest?

[Mod]Full Screen Caller I.D

**Disclaimer - This is not my work. Just sharing it because I tested it on my T889 and it worked**
*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK**
-> You Can Find The Original Thread Here <-]
So I was just browsing through other Note 2 Forums and stumbled on this mod. I was bored so I figured.... ahh what the heck.
So I...
•Downloaded the zip (found in the linked OP)
•Created A Nandroid Backup (recommended but you can do as you wish)
•Flashed the zip via recovery (I'm using TWRP)
•Wiped Dalvik-Cache and Cache
•Reboot
Not sure if this was necessary but I did the following anyway...
•>Application Manager>com.sec.phone and cleared cache
•>Application Manager>Phone.apk and cleared cache
Used my daughters phone to test. Didn't work. I looked at the pic I had set for her. It was a crappy resolution.
So I picked one of the new pics I took of her. Boom! Full Screen Caller I.D
If it makes any difference I'm using 4.3 DN3 Rom (Ditto Note 3 Rom) from the ATT Roms Section.
