[Q] CM 10.2 & GPS Issues

Hi all,
Just got my Note 2, and flashed 10.2 without noticing the known issue with the new opensource GPS. I read the fix in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39761558&postcount=702
I have 2 questions:
First, I'm coming from the Sprint Epic 4G Touch (SGS II variant), where there were issues when flashing new ROMs where we had to flash back to a "safe" kernel. Just wanted to confirm that there are no such issues with this phone, e.g. I can flash directly from my current CM 10.2 installation, back to a stock ROM, and then directly back to CM 10.2 (just wiping data and cache in between each flash) without any additional steps.
Second, does anyone know if I can take the shortcut of making a nandroid of my CM setup now, flashing the stock ROM, getting a GPS lock, then doing a clean install of CM, then restoring the nandroid? Will the GPS fix survive the nandroid restore? I took all day setting up my new phone yesterday just the way I like it, and I'd rather not have to go through it again.
Thanks in advance everyone!

There's no sgii like issues. You can flash a tw rom then revert back to 4.3 without issue. I found you need to have a gps lock with Google maps to get it to work in 4.3 when you flash back

[Q] Which kernel can I use for i747m Telus onSlimKat 4.4.4 without losing reception?

Hello,
I have a Telus SGHi747m running [ROM] [4.4.4] SlimKat d2att (at&t) Stable 9.0. I noticed that the battery drained in 4 hours today with 1 hour of screen on time, so in addition to refreshing the ROM I decided to try a non-stock kernel. I flashed the leankernel: minimalistic kernel via philz, and upon rebooting the phone I found that I no longer had service. Wifi and everything else worked fine. I tried to flash a new modem to fix this but I imagine I tried the wrong one because the flash kept aborting. I rectified this by restoring a stock nandroid backup and flashing SlimKat over again.
I am still interested in flashing a new kernel, but I don't know how to do this while still getting service in BC, Canada on Telus. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?
Thanks!

i have moved on from the Slll but use to run ktoonsez' kernels on all my att roms. not sure , but i think you'll still get service. here's the link and you could ask in the thread. good luck.

[Q] One problem or another

I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.

Wicked S5

Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks

Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.

[Q] Wifi won't turn on - rooted, Liquidsmooth v3.2 ROM

Hello,
My Note 2 was stock, and I decided to root it because I was having issues with the screen turning on and wifi sometimes not connecting. I used Odin to flash TWRP, installed a number of ROMs including Cyanogen and Liquidsmooth (currently on Liquidsmooth 3.2), and everything works fine now except that Wifi won't turn on.
I read that Kit Kat has caused wifi issues for some people, so I even downgraded to Jelly Bean (CM 10.2), but that did not seem to help. Does anyone know of any fixes for this or alternatively, any Lollipop ROMs that wouldn't have this problem?
[One thing I just noticed when I was double checking that I was on 4.4.4 was that the "About" menu shows my model number as GT-N7105 even though I downloaded the ROM for the SGH-t889. If that means I installed the wrong ROM, I can restore my backup of my stock ROM and start again if needed]
Thanks in advance.

Solved!
Just wanted to post that I figured out that if I install Liquidsmooth alone first, without adding google apps, the wifi worked. In fact, I may have just been stupid to install google apps since it appears that Liquidsmooth already had google apps...
But in any case, the wifi stopped working after I rebooted, so I installed Jedi ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/development/rom-jedi-source-project-4-4-4-t2895948, booted up, then went to recovery and installed the google apps for Jedi from the same link, and everything has been working great since then.
Hope this info is helpful.

Hi
XDA newbie, still learning where everything is! I posted this question in the general help thread but got no replies, then I found this section so please pardon the repost
I have a rooted Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (t0lte I think) running Samsung Stock software 4.4.2. I have previously installed various version of CyanogenMod and Ditto Note, and somewhere along the line have lost my GPS functionality! Running CWM recover, not sure what version off the top of my head. The exact issue is that when I turn GPS on, it shows the "searching" symbol endlessly and will not lock to any satellites.
I have tried reflashing the modem and every GPS fix app that I've seen suggested on forums, and it still will not lock my location by GPS. Power saving (wi-fi and mobile network) location still works.
From my research, I believe the NV Rebuild method (listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211690) is what I need to do in order to fix the problem. However when I access the hidden dialer menu and select NV Rebuild it tells me "Not Support in Custom Binary!" Other people have had this issue and posted asking for help in the thread, but nobody replied or helped them.
As I mentioned, I am running stock Samsung software, not a custom ROM. The phone is rooted, and I do have a few Xposed modules installed. I also used Triangle Away and my bootloader shows the device status as Samsung Official. It also showed Official in settings when I tried to run the NV Rebuild. As far as the information went, this should be all I needed to make NV Rebuild work, but it still gave the custom binary error.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get around this? Do I need to completely unroot my phone and reflash a vanilla copy of Samsung 4.4.2 before it will work, or is there a workaround to make the service menu read my phone as official and run the NV Rebuild?
Any thoughts or ideas would be HUGELY appreciated as this issue has been driving me mental! (Please let me know if you need further information and I will try to provide it ASAP)
Thanks in advance!

Try lineageOS 14.1. My GPS was dead after going back to kitkat after lineage. NV rebuild also not support in custom binary. Found the solution here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt-n7105/rom-lineageos-n7105-t3538310/page136
From lineage I did only a format(not wipe or factory reset, I dont know what is the difference) in TWRP 3.2.3 and flashed zip of the omnirom kitkat, and GPS was working, then format and flashed official FTM ROM. Maybe not need to go via omnirom, for me it was clear that kitkat is not getting the fix and it was easier to flash a zip kitkat than an image from Odin.

Your solution gains my interest. I am using GT-N7105 too. The road of Roms I have been through is Lineage 14.1 -> Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 -> Stock 4.4.2
When I went back to the Stock rom, GPS totally unable to detect any satellite using any GPS tools app. IMEI blank but Baseband is still there, the weird thing is the phone network signal works without issue. :angel:
Have been trying many ways to fix GPS including reflash stock rom but still failed. I went back to resurrection remix 5.8.5 and GPS works without issue but IMEI is still blank.
Any recommended omni rom as you mentioned? and what is official FTM rom? A stock rom?
