GPS fix on ICS roms. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've been reading how some people have GPS on fb17 and some don't. I haven't tested this yet so if someone does please let me know. I remember on the original epic on the dk28 Froyo leak in order for GPS to work you had to get a GPS lock first and then Odin to the leak. (For those original epic users u might remember this) im wondering if this is true for this leak. I haven't tested this out but I will later today. So for those that can't get a GPS lock Odin back to EL29 and get a good GPS lock. Go back into download mode and odin FB17. hopefully GPS will now work.

GPS is working fine for me on FB17

I remember this dirty little fix from the OG Epic. It actually did work on that phone. I have actually gotten this idea and tired this 2 days ago and it didn't work. This was with the tar stock odex version. even trying different modems.
It wasn't until I flashed Caulks rooted, deodex version that GPS instantly worked. So I know, that works better for me at least.

I had to go back to Caulks rooted also. I really need the GPS on a daily basis. Loved ICS though.

Just Rooted with FB17 w/Stock ICS no TW

So Ive had my phone since launch and just decided to root it since ICS FB17 was leaked. I got the Rom flashed, Cleared the touch Wiz Launcher and it showed me how to use the vanilla ICS not from tw but from the vanilla ICS. stock ICS home screen and App Draw. This is just to good to be true. everything is better and None Touch Wiz.

I placed the modem in ext sd, booted into cwm and flashed. Does this normally take longer than flashing a rom? CWM seems stuck on "flashing modem." How long did it take for you and what rom were you on?
Modems do take a little while to flash in recovery. If it takes longer than 5 mins than I would say it won't flash but give it time.
I saw QBKing77's video on this and he said the signal bars dont work.
Does anyone else have this problem too?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
My signal bars work but not gps. There is a lot going on with multiple roms so it is getting a bit confusing.
although you can enable the stock launcher (we have this option in GB too, btw), it's not really stock. Dialer, Contacts, gallery, menus etc.etc. all look TWish. No option for widget resize either...

Why does it need full rebuilds? Isn't only the build.prop change needed?

Well I was going to say its needs a full rebuild because we dont have a proper recovery so we wouldnt be able to flash a fix but after decompiling the code it looks like it has the latest Virgin Mobile MMS fixes that will only need changes to the build.prop.
edit: That being said, it looks like Epic 4G fix zip should work on the Epic 4G Touch as well. Just might have to wait until we have a proper recovery. Which sounds like is being worked on.

So anyone having battery drain problems its probably because of this file taxing the CPU at 100%. All I did was rename it to include .bak and removed the execute permission. Phone is now sleeping and virtually no lag. All that urks me now is that wifi direct is disabled in this build.

All seems to be in tact, even Carrier IQ is running strong
And it might trip it (I never paid attention) but if it does get tripped, Triangle Away by Chainfire resets your flash counter so no need to worry there.
