KitKat/Lolipop rom with fully working GPS? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello. up until about 6 months ago I kept my nexus fully stock. I decided to try kitkat and installed LiquidSmooth. very nice room but quite buggy. GPS was broken and never really worked. went back to stock to check for a software issue but it worked perfectly. right now I've using CM 12 (beta) and it works quite nicely but again, GPS is broken.
My question is, is there any other rom with perfectly working GPS? or should I just go back to JellyBean?
thanks!

If u mean kitkat, CM11 M7 with faster fix app works. For LP rom = need data

well try phoenix rom if want the 4.1.2 as for me the default sometime created problem connecting to wifi which still does and temporary solution solves it but its irritating when phone takes time or does not connect,which I found that the phoenix rom used to connect in a sec as it should be and never had problems connecting

Thanks I will try it, I am out of solutions for fixing this weird issue with the CM 10.2 custom based ROMs. Just in case that 4.1.2 creates issues as well, can you recommend me your best 4.1.1 which works like a charm for me now?

No this is far from my first flashing experience even with Note 2. It's my first flashing experience as I said after receiving my phone from SDS syndrome (mobo was swapped). Why shouldn't I flash to the newest build if I can?
It had 4.1.1 and worked great as it works now with a custom 4.1.1 rom. The problem is with other custom ROMs and yes everything works amazing except WiFi connection with the CM 10.2 based that I tested (Nightly,Probam,PAC).
It should be a software issue with some devices in this code.

well stay away from 4.1.1 rom as its prone to sds so avoid it and yes thunderlite is even an amazing rom fast and stable now its upto you what u choose plus thunderlite has the battery advantage too if you go for phoenix choose 240dpi mode in aroma and enjoy the beauti of the beast ,the choice is yours, earlier i have tried N7100 Resurrection Remix® but in that case too wifi worked fine for me ,I would suggest a complete wipe install ,even wiping your system but do a backup of your current before proceeding in case.

Also tried 4.2.2 RootBox before and it still gives me the problem with WiFi. There's definitely something fishy going on with anything from 4.1.2 and above for me from what I've tested with 6 different ROMs..About the SDS syndrome I checked with eMMC program and it says it's a sane chip this time, before it warned me it was an insane one and after some time my phone had died on me.
Anyway I've had enough, just finished installing Phoenix V13 and tweaking the basics. Works amazing thus far and it looks like a great rom. WiFi works great and I think I'll stay with this one for the time being.
10 days without this beast were A LOT, I'm bored looking even further I hope this one will serve me well..

[Q] 4.4.2 ROM Galaxy S3 (d2spr)

This isn't my first time messing with ROMs and ROOT stuff. On my HTC EVO 4G I messed with everything.
Anyway, my question. Does anyone have a good 4.4.2 ROM that is fairly stable? I tried CM11 but the camera kept crashing and I use my camera daily. I also tried Gummy but it would hang on the first time boot activation attempt. I tried skipping the activation and my 3G worked for a little while then quit working completely. If there are any ideas how to get those two ROMs to work I'm all ears.
I am coming from this 4.3 ROM
Thanks,

[Q] Paranoid Android 4.5 beta 3 unfixable lingering calling bug

Hello everyone,
I'm posting on here because I can't find any solution to my dilemma which I am sure that other people in the AOSPA legacy community have also experienced. I have been using Paranoid Android on my T989 since the 4.4.3 update and I have regularly updated my roms since then. Somehow ever since I updated my phone to 4.5 beta 3, something prevents me from being able to hear or be heard during regular phone calls around an hour after I restart my phone.
I have tried everything to try to make my phone back to normal, I have updated my versions of AOSPA, I have downgraded to stable versions, I have gone to a debloated stock rom (which worked perfectly fine but who likes touchwiz android 4.1.2?) and back to AOSPA, I tried the latest Carbon nightly rom and the problem persisted, I have wiped my internal memory, cache, davlik, etc. multiple times. I am at a total loss as to what I should do to fix this issue. I'm currently running it on 4.6 beta 1 and I still have the issue.
I really love my GS2 and I don't want to part with it or have it running stock. Please help me.
I really appreciate it,
Chris
I've had the same issue , I was running the latest liquid smooth rom . I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all is fine on the stock rom . I just rooted again and am hesitant to install another kitkat rom for fear of this calling issue ........ Anyone else with this problem ?

I am also getting this problem on Slim 7.8....must be an audio-caf issue....Can someone go back to an old KK rom (one from earlier months) and see if they experience the same issue? Preferably cyanogenmod
I flashed to stock rom via oden and spent the weekend with the phone and all was good , I flashed to the latest cm-11 with no addons , stock cm-11 kernal and after an hour or so I lost call audio again . We must have done something to the phone in a previous rom cause not many people are having this issue . Now I have flashed about 75 different roms with no issue , I hope someone finds the problem cause I'm not to keen on the stock rom !
I've seen posted that snapchat was the cause of the no call audio problem we are having , I flashed the latest liquid smooth rom last night , download all my apps that I usually do except snapchat and I've had no issues with the calling bug . All is working great .

Nice. Tried LL (spanish mod) and so far so good.
I am running the Beta3 Version (including TWRP) and had to flash it 3 times until everything worked.
Its crazy sometimes, but after the first installation the internnal memory was not working.
After i did the same thing again. The internal memory was working but the bluetooth stopped working.
Now, after flashing it the 3rd time everythings seems to work fine.
Its important to have twrp because you need to flash the rooting zips and gapps.
but it works nice no further issues so far. ( I have a S3S)

all 6.0 ROM have rotation problem? or Only my phone?

Hi there, I've try many android 6.0 ROM on my LG F180 (Korean version Optimus G). Seems like everyone of them's rotation function is not working. If I flash back to 5.X rom or kitkat roms. Then it gets back to normal. Does anyone got the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Or I did something stupid? Thanks!
Mine is working just fine with Nitrogen OS (E975)
Hi there!
I am having these issues ever since I flashed 5.1 unofficial CM12. The rotation and auto-brightness went broken. Here's what helped recently:
- did a backup of my ROM in TWRP
- plugged the phone to a PC and got all my data properly copied, including the TWRP backup (it turned out to be essential, but that's just my fault)
- downloaded original KK firmware for my phone edition, also downloaded LGFlashTool 2014
- went back to stock using instructions from XDA
- rooted again and got TWRP recovery up and running
- did a full wipe, yes, including internal storage (yet I don't know if you need this, I just went for it)
- flashed the ROM I chose (im my case it was the CM12 backup I had cause of gapps issues with 6.0)
Don't know why but the sensors worked perfectly for me at that moment. I have broken them again by flashing another custom ROM over the CM12 and today I am going to give it another go.
Also, while browsing XDA I came across various posts stating that when you downgrade to stock or actually even another ROM based on official KK and only then flash the custom ROM it should all work again. In my case it seems like a coincidence, or the internal storage wipe worked miracles.
Good luck!
Mine is working. Did you tried the XenonHD 5.11 or the XenonHD 6.0 rom?
got the same problem

I did try on XenonHD 6.0 rom, but the rotation still doesn't work. All others Kit Kat or Lollipop ROM are fine for me. BTW, Are U having F180? or E975?

I've got the E975.
Did you do a full wipe?(dalvik cache , etc..)
I think you did , because you tried everything , but maybe not
I've got a massive battery drain issue with 6.0 Xenon HD. (50-70% overnight)
I've installed all the same apps as on my previous rom.(1-2% overnight)
Anyone else?
how about the camera? do you are able to do photosphere or panorama pictures with google camera app??
