GPS CM11 Help - Sprint LG Optimus G

Before anyone gets upset I did search for awhile before asking about this. I'm sure the answer is in a thread somewhere I just can't find it and the search ability in the xda app is terrible.
GPS is not working in cm11 and I know to fix you must flash a backup. I'm just looking for a good walkthru. I'm wondering things such as: Do I do a complete wipe?(not the SD partition obviously) After flashing backup and getting a gps lock do I immediately shutdown and boot into recovery? Before I flash cm11 should I do a fresh install or a backup? My Cm11 M4 is running flawlessly except for the gps. Any help would be amazing. I am going on the road for at least 3 months and will need the gps in proper working order while I'm out there. Thanks guys! Love xda!

What I did was
make nandroid of aosp rom.
Wipe all except internal storage
Restore/flash stock based rom
##gpsclrx# (##4772579#)
Enter msl (call sprint for it if u don't have it)
Phone will reboot
Open location settings, disable network/wifi location
Open maps, get lock, walk around a little bit, around 5 minutes
Reboot recovery
Wipe all except internal storage
Restore aosp
As always, ymmv but that's always fixed it for me

Is it re required to wipe data when flashing a rom?

title says it all.
It's always a good idea to do so. Your more than welcome to try it without, but make sure you have a nandroid handy
If the roms are similar enough, you can sometimes get away with it.

I would just wipe everything anyway that way you know for a fact it won't go into bootloop or something

Took it for a test drive and took a few pictures while i was there. Only thing that stood out to me was that the capacitive buttons don't light up or vibrate.
That's because I had to remove lights.n1.so because it was causing system server to crash. That's why no lights or vibrate...

This wasn't released as a daily driver. Just 70% working preview builds for development only. Need testers for development.

Of course. But if it had data, I'd probably flash it as a daily driver. I don't use the keyboard nearly as much as I thought I would when I bought the phone, so that's not too huge of an issue for me.
Anyhow, keep up the good work! I don't know if you've used a Nexus 7 or a Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean, but if you have, is it as smooth? (This question could be towards anybody, really).

Help!!

Noob here. I'm running synergyrom for the multiscreen function but it keeps dropping calls and I can't send text messages. I have rebooted, taken the battery out and all and it works for a sec till 4g lte kicks in then it stops working. I am new and my buddy rooted this for me. Any help would be great.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
hm maybe it's the rom? I would head over to the synergy thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113436 and ask over there maybe others have had the same or similar problems.
I would bet money that your imei was erased. Go to settings , about device , status. Is your imei 00000000 or does it have numbers.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
While a great VZW rom it still has some bugs to work out for us GSM folk. I suggest you make a nandroid backup in your recovery and install something like CSROM, i747z, or maybe darthstalker. Great first time custom rom's that are easy to install and do. CSROM even has a aroma installer and its practically fool proof.
Have you flashed a rom before ? If not feel free to PM and I can help you out some

You or your buddy need to fix that IMEI before your phone can do anything. There is a sticky in the Development section on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777915
I suggest you go to the above thread. Try the second link and read the part for corrupted imei with out a back up. There is a tool that let's you type in your imei number ( which is under your battery ) and it will create the nv file and follow the instructions on how to push it to your phone.
Since your already on synergy ROM you must already have a custom recovery installed. Once you get your imei restored get a different ROM. Synergy ROM has corrupted a lot of imei's this week.

Whoa Kimosabe! You need to give us more info. I can guarantee you this has nothing to do with tasks ROM. First off did you do a clean install? That's the first thing you should do. What provider are you with? What radio? Give as much info as you possibly can. I'm pretty sure that your problem should go away after a thorough wipe and a clean install.

Do a full wipe and reinstall. This includes format/system. Until you do that, you really don't know if the problem is a bad install or dirty flash.
If that doesn't work, switch modems. My money is on a full wipe/reinstall fixing it though as everyone else is up and running on 4G with no issues.

Read that. It should set you on your way.
Sorry to tell you that but, it happen to me before when I was running on Task's rom and there is nothing to do with the rom. It is your S3 need to get back to stock. I did was put my S3 back to stock by using odin and then immediately, 4G LTE start to kick in and working. After few mins, you can root and flash back to task's rom. Hope this help!

CM10.2 Nightlies Discussion

In the heritage of CyanogenMod discussion threads, here is a new one for the release of the 10.2 nightlies. Nightlies started on 8/26/13 (my b-day thanks aremcee). 10.2 will bring you up to Android 4.3 Jellybean.
If you are on 10 or 10.1, go to Settings > About phone > CyanogenMod updates, and change your update type to Nightly. Download, install, enjoy.
If you use Google Apps you must flash newer gapps. After CM update download the latest gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps. Currently the 10.2/4.3 package is 20130813. Reboot into recovery and flash the gapps zip.
Not on CyanogenMod? I recommend wiping everything and installing:
Download CM: http://get.cm/?device=p930
Download Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps
Change Log: http://10.2.cmxlog.com/?device=p930
I updated to 10.2 yesterday. Seems to be really smooth and generous on the battery. Obviously this is not a formal test. I'm not on WIND kernel anymore so I don't think my idle battery use is nearly as good. I hope he releases a 10.2 version soon.
Those of you having issues with no mobile signal from 8/27 on flash the baseband/firmware from here:

That will fix it.

You can open the zip with 7zip and remove the applications you don't want, then flash gapps zip.

I am having horrible issues with Google maps and cm10.2. After install and I run for the first time every thing works (as long as I am on WiFi). As soon as I go to run it the second time and go to navigation I have the following issues:
1. The recent location, home & work, & history/starred cards will flash for a second then disappear.
2. When I have the above state it takes 5 - 10 min to achieve GPS lock, then I loose it about every 5 min.
3. The green ribbon at the top no longer has the street name, just an arrow and the number of mile on the left and the letter mi on the right. Correct orientation should have the arrow, miles & mi on the left with the current road on the right, and then when you approach the turn the banner should get larger with the street larger in the middle of the banner.
4. If I uninstall and reinstall, I can get it to work the first time and as soon as I exit and go back into the app its back to being messed up again. Clearing data, cache & rebooting have no impact.
Can this be repeated by anyone else?
I do not have this issue with stock, cm10.x, miui, or any other ROM I have tried except cm10.2 4.3.

I used Zombies, Run! this morning. Seemed to work fine.
Found battery life was horrible for the 8.30 flash, phone never went into deep sleep. However just flashed the 9.1 and phone did go into deep sleep now.
