Ok, I've done my due diligence, and I still cannot find anything related to this. I can't post in the specific ROM's forum, because I have less than 10 posts. Anyway, here's the setup.
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Sky ICS ROM RC6.5
App: Tasker
Function: GPS
When I'm attempting to add a task to enable/disable GPS, I get a message saying I need a custom ROM, since 2.3 made any GPS functionality require user interaction. I'm running the ROM listed above, but since I'm getting this error message, I'm assuming it wasn't built into the ROM.
Can anyone help?
Not sure if you are still having this problem, but on the main page there is a GPS Fix. I suggest to try that

Sory to bloat this thread any more than it already is, and waste the Mods' time...but apparently, I don't have enough "ForumCred" to be allowed to post in the *proper* Forum & Thread (Epic 4G Android Development.)
I'm having a couple of issues with the above-mentioned new ROM.
First, and most important, I have no Internet capability that isn't handled by another App. I can do Youtube, Gmail, banking, etc...But if I try and use the Google Search Widget, or (most of my) Bookmarks, or even the basic Internet app, nothing happens. No FC, no nothing. (Yes, I've DLed/Installed the FlashPlayer.)
Now, a couple of things that the ROM doesn't support (Not their problem, I understand that's part of the ROM's design):
The ROM has no support for Live Wallpapers. ...is there a way to add that functionality; or is it necessary to be embedded in the ROM itself?
Also, I was hoping to get the Sprint Hotspot hack; is that available seperately? (I did get the Android Wireless Tether app, so this may not be as much of an issue now...)
Thanks in advance!
I am a fairly new member but have followed this forum for long time due to its useful tips and vast knowledge. I have posted i'm a couple threads and apologize if I did so in the wrong manner.
I have Samsung infuse 4g sgh-i997 ucbl3 GB 2.3.6 recently went back to stock ROM due to I think a couple bad flashes. I assume Anwar cuz settings working fine now. I had the aeon ROM which I loved. so I want to re flash the ROM but not the stock libs because i've tried both (with and without) and found the one without I liked better.
Now my question is this. Is there a way to keep the option for Facebook sharing, I want to be able to go to gallery and click share and press Facebook. So I don't know if I have to keep Facebook in my accounts and sync setting? how will I accomplish this while flashing the ROM that does not have it?
Hi,
I upgraded my Tab to 4.1.2 and have been having problems with my SMS. The Messaging app is not moving the thread to the top when a new text comes in, only when I reply.
ie the 10th thread in my list continues to be at the 10th position after receiving new messages. It doesn't get moved to the top which it used to. I thought it was a problem with the app and tried using Handcent. The same problem persists. It seems like there is something wrong with the time stamp of the thread not updating properly or something.
Anyone has any idea what's going on or what a solution might be? It's a big annoyance.
Thanks!
Hep, have this problem too. Very annoying.m I think samsung is doing this on purpose to force us to buy a new tab. Even though the 7.7 still holds it ground with the latest device.
Samsung is probably slowing things down on purpose too for this tab. I still notice a little lag.
I have the same problem.
same problem here, already tried a full flash (JB) still the same, i thought it was just GO SMS but I already uninstalled and and the problem persist, it's so annoying when you have to look for the one who sent u sms
In XDA, you'll find a mod to correct the date-time stamp for stock de-odex MMS.apk.
There are some simple guides, but you must be rooted first and most likely de-odexed.
Sorry, don't have the time right now to actually do a JB version for you, and also unable to test without device model (assume you have P6800).
I have previously modded a P6800 ICS app here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204628. 122 dl, and ZERO feedback. Didn't even know if it worked.....can only assume so.... This is not for JB, won't work. The JB MMS.apk needs to be modded.
It may not even solve your problem. But hey, at least there's a 'possible' solution if you're willing to try to mod yourself

I can't even begin to imagine how to mod an app. my skills are limited to just rooting and flashing roms. If I flash a custom ROM, say Cyanogen, will it fix the problem???
ok, I contacted Samsung about it and their advice was to do a complete factory wipe. I backed up my SMSs and tried it. After restoring the messages, everything was fixed. so there's the fix. but at the cost of having to restore everything after a complete wipe
Android sucks. Its the only os that forces u to do a full wipe for each updates.
I would be grateful if anyone with more knowledge than I would be so kind as to give me instruction on how to write a patch to modify some settings on my SGH-i497, relating to touchscreen sensitivity and other settings. There are no compatible apps (to my knowledge) and almost no information or development. This is a rampant problem with users who want to use a stylus on the Tab 2. I am in search of a solution.
Running TWRP 2.4.4, SuperSU, ROOT, Stock everything else.
AT&T 4GLTE Tab 2 "10.1" SGH-i497.
I do not want to install a custom kernel or ROM at this time due to a lack of development. I just want to change a few settings to make my touchscreen more sensitive, and to reduce the track delay to zero. There is an app that does this for several Samsung devices, and will function on the Tab 2, but it has incompatible superuser protocols, and will not save settings. Perhaps this app is a good place to start??? Development on this app seems to be dead.

Hello everyone,
I have GPS problems with the latest release "Slim-xt925-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3648".
GPS is not available with GPS status or GPS Checker apps and I can't locate myself on maps.
When I run maps for the first time after installing Slimkat with CWM 6.0.4.4. (from my original rom "JB 4.2.1 vodafone-en" which is adapted for SFR (french provider)), GPS works well. But when I change gps parameters, or just change gps function with the widget controller, GPS doesn't work anymore.
I've got the same problem with other roms like CM11.
By the way, this release of Slimkat rocks in every point. Stable, fast and well build. Love it. Except that GPS issue. Don't know what to do.
I've read that it works with "dirty flash" or location could be blocked by "privacy protection" app. I also read a topic about the same problem but for Samsung galaxy S4 and peoples are talking about flashing the "pit". It's something I never heard before on XT925 flashing method. It may just belong to samsung flashing method. Or not.
I try to find a solution on many XDA thread and on other forums but nothing appear clear or understandable to me.
If someone have any clue about that GPS issue, it would be a great pleasure to read you.
Cheers.

I'm with same problem..... Still didn't solve that....
It was a bad commit on their last stable release. If you would read the Slim thread, you would see that they are aware of the issue and are working to fix it.
