Okay I am having an issue with my GPS on AOSP roms I have tried Beanstalk CM12 CM remix and AICP and none of them have working GPS for me I have tested with the GPS toolbox and unable to lock I have done the fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst2 I have taken the GPS.comf file from the working TW rom (yes GPS works in TW) and replaced the config file in a fresh flash of these said roms I have reflashed the modem with the TW modem I really don't know what else to do to get it to work I really need a working GPS and I cannot find a TW rom where the OP doesn't lie about removing the sprint bloat and I am sorry if I see the freaking sprint zone app you did not debloat like you said alliance and notorized are both like this I have no issues with TW but at this point I think I am going to have to make my own rom to get what I want but I would much rather fix the GPS issue in AOSP.

Hey. I just flashed the latest CM nightly. I need to fix my GPS and 4G, which would require me to go a TouchWiz based ROM and do some things. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted my own backup of stock rooted TW. Any links/suggestions for a simple TW ROM that I can flash to real quick?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure any TW ROM should work. But if you just want a good stockish TW ROM I would suggest Digiblur here.
Pick any of them....just about all of them are as massive as the others...and most are hosted on AFH, so will take forever to downlad due to AFH's terrible bandwidth. Unfortunately most devs don't post torrents which cannot get corrupt downloads...unlike AFH, which due to terrible throughput and unreliable connections HTTP D/Ls get corrupted quite often on such massive ROM ZIPs.
Well I have serious problem with the GPS when flashing other ROM than the LG stock. I have tried lots of ROMs like CM11 nightlies, vanir, carbon and none of them have working GPS. I have downloaded GPS Status apps and they give me no fix. With stock rom I have fix within 10-15 secs even the first time. The problem is described here.
I suppose that it has to do with google services and the gapps pack I flash (the banks one) but I can't find a solution.
Thanks! :good:
So I took a long break from flashing my phone. I just want to get a newer stock android Rom on the phone. Not touchwiz Rom. Do I just download and flash the Rom? Up to date bootloader just for touchwiz based Rom correct?
All I know is I have 4.1.2 now. I317m. It's rooted of course and some kind of custom Rom. It's been a loong time
If you go on Cyanogenmod's website they have a installer that is really easy
I don't have a computer access right now. Or very often at all.
Also if I go to a kitkat touchwiz Rom I just have to flash the proper kernel for wifi to work? Is this consistent across all Roms I'd be looking to flash?

Sometimes you have to flash a kernel to get wifi to work but I use agni kernel he makes one for tw and cm roms they are awesome
I can't get gps to work, have tried multiple roms. Liquidsmooth, pa 4.6, liquid v4.0 lollipop even affliction stable zvd. tried with zve modem (what i rooted from) zv8, and cloudy's kk modem. Any suggestions?
So gps only works on cdma/evdo. Nothing on lte. Any ideas?
when you install new roms, try updating your PRL from system settings. I don't know if it works on all roms but it fixed my GPS when it wasn't working

Get a new phone or dedicated GPS device. The G2 is known to have hardware GPS issues. My GPS was intermittent, maybe worked 10% of the time. I sent my G2 back to LG under warranty for repair, they said they fixed the GPS antenna and when I got it back, my GPS won't work at all.
If you are having issues with GPS on AOSP based ROMS all you need to do is:
*flash a stock ROM (stock ROM is one based on the LG ROM that came with the phone I recommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-root-deodex-t2932683 )
*get a gps lock
*then flash or restore whatever AOSP based ROM you like.
GPS will now be working for you.
This has been a fix for GPS on AOSP based roms for years and I had to recently use it myself as I was getting no GPS on all AOSP based ROMS.
Also make sure that GPS isn't actually broken in the AOSP based ROM you are flashing because if GPS is broken in the ROM then obviously this isn't going to fix it. This fix is for people having GPS issues on ROMs that have working GPS which is currently all KK and LP AOSP based ROMs we have for the vs985. Hope this helps someone.
bump. Still seeing people posting about no gps on AOSP roms so bumping this in hopes that it gets seen more often.
Interesting. Just curious here: If I "Restore" a 4.4.4 ROM, get the lock, then Restore back my current AOSP Lollipop-based ROM, will that work? As in, is the GPS lock sequence stored in the GPS hardware flash or something?

Honestly I don't know why this fixes GPS I just know it does. Like I said in the OP this has been a fix for GPS on AOSP based ROMS for years as I learned this trick back a couple years ago on my LG Spectrum. I was one not getting GPS on any AOSP based roms but noticed most weren't having issues with it so I remembered this fix and tried it on my phone and I haven't had GPS issues since. Once you do this you should no longer need to again no matter how many roms you flash; just be sure to always get a lock on each ROM you flash before flashing a new one as that may cause the issue to comeback.
Bumping again because people are still constantly posting about gps being broken on AOSP based ROMS and don't know how to research the forums for solutions to their issues but would rather clutter threads with the same questions over and over and over.
Help
So does "get a gps lock just mean open up maps and get it to lock onto a gps signal?
