[Q} Which ROM has the best/stable GPS support? - HTC One S

Just curious, I've tried Milestone AOKP which seems to work the best but it crashes intermittently. I've never had success with CM10. Could someone please help? Thanks!

Viper has always worked well for me.

I like PACman ROMs. they have the best of everything, and GPS works Flawless everytime. Go with 4.1.2 for a very stable release.

Thanks guys, I'll try those out.
ParanoidAndroid has NOT worked for me either (although it's a great ROM as well).

Official Cyanogenmod 10.1 seems to work perfectly. Always get accuracy of about 1 meter.

Have you been able to use the Navigation or any other app that requires constant GPS tracking?
I just tried PACman rom and it also has crashed on me. I also tried the AOKP (March 7th, but not discontinued) rom and it works for a little longer then crashes.

if using Google Navigation, don't bother cuz is a known issue for google.

[Q] Keep getting random 'No Service Area' on Cyanogenmod

Hi all,
My LG G2x phone flash with Pheonix Blood 1.6 CM7 is acting weird. It would have full signal bar, but I can't make or receive call. I would get a message saying 'No Services Area', but then it would work again after a few try. It happen when I do not use the phone for awhile and it sit there on my desk or in my pocket. I seem to only get this error when I am using CM7, because the Miui Rom is fine when I try it. I google it but not many post out there with this issue, and the one that do has it has no answer. Could someone please help? thank you.

I'd say re-flash and if that doesn't fix it, go to a different ROM. I used Phoenix Blood myself for about a day, then switched. Check your PM.
Yeah try reflash a couple of rom, seem like any cyanogenmod base rom give me that issue, and Miui give me random crash.
Phoenix Blood is technically a mod based on CM7, don't blame it on CM7. I had problems with PB as well, the one I have now, none. Haven't tried MIUI.
Yeah, I try the stable build from cyanogenmod website, the nightly build from the G2X forumn, and Eagle blood with all the same result for some reason. Yet stock and Miui doesn't have that issue. So that was why I though it was a CM issue.

If so it would have to be something with your phone, I don't get that problem and I haven't seen it mentioned before. Let me know how it goes with the ROM and Kernel I mentioned to you, and don't forget to flash gaaps.
Yup tried that kernel and rom you recommended and still having the same issue. Guess back to either stock or Miui for now and hope for better luck with ICS.

Weird, sounds like a phone problem to me. Good luck.

whatsapp problem on CM9

Hello!
I flashed CM9 RC2 recently and now whatsapp doesn't work. I get warning after installing it saying that custom rom might cause whatsapp not to work properly. After starting whatsapp it simply closes down.
Before CM9 RC2 i used HyperSensation Rom (2.9 i think), and it worked normally without any problems.
Is there anything i can do to get this to work besides reflashing ROM?
Thank you.
Delete the data of the app.. Un-install it and install it again that might help
Sent from my pyramid using blazing fast sonic waves
Tried that several times. Problem still persists.
EDIT: Just to report. Eventually i installed latest AOKP rom from their site (Milestone 6), and it works fine now.
ive had this same problem. I am usuing the CM9 RC2 right from the cyanogen mod website for samsung captivate ATT. if i install the AOKP rom you think it will work. and if i do whats the difference between AOKP build 40 and milestone 6.
edit: ok i installed milestone 6 and still did not work. what the hell

AOKP builds marked with number (for example: build 40) are something like beta builds and are more likely to have bugs. Milestone builds are more stable releases.
Regarding problem with whatsapp. Seriously i dont know why is this happening. I tried searching net and found couple guys with same problem but nobody offered solution. As i said in my first post, i used hypersensation which was build on one of earlier CM9 releases and it worked fine. So i would suggest to try some earlier releases of AOKP or CM9 or some rom from XDA based on them.
could you please provide me with a link to the rom you used. i will try that one
Here is hypersensation. However i used 2.9 version based on CM9, current version is 3.1. Download is in post 2. In post 3 you can find AOKP roms, but i haven't tried these.
I am using a samsung Captivate. will this rom work for me
My guess is no. You should probably go to Samsung Captivate forum and check there. I don't know anything about Captivate.

[Q] CM10 Stable problem

Hello everyone:
I'm currently running cm10 nightly but decided to try out cm10 stable. When I flashed stable, there seemed to be a problem with the android keyboard. I kept getting the AOSP android keyboard not working message. I'm trying to flash cm10 properly to figure out if wifi hotspot is working on the rom.

I've had this when i flashed GAPPS 4.2 when i needed 4.1 or similar (if i got numbers confused someone please correct me). Finding the previous GAPPs fixed it for me.

[SOLVED] Galaxy S3 Camera Not working (OLD problems no fix)

hello, i love my galaxy s3 and even more because i took the leap and rotted and I am running on roms. My favorite rom is cyanogenmod but I have never gotten the camera to work on it with anything greater than cm10.0. I am currently running AOKP which allows the camera to work which is awesome too but i would love to go back to CM. I have searched for hours but never found a solution that worked. I tried flashing a file that some around this forum and other forums have said fixed the CM camera issue but that did not help. If anyone know of a fix so i could use CM10.1 or CM 10.2 I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Have you tried a clean install of CM 10.2? I haven't had any issues with my camera running any custom rom.
Does it work at all, or are you just missing some feature?

I have not tried a clean install. I will try that when I get a chance. The camera sometime opens and I can zoom in and out a few seconds but then it freezes and the phone restarted. Also, other times the camera open to a black screen and freezes and the phone restarts. It really sucks This is the only issue I am having with CM and why I switched to another rom.
Doing a clean install fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your help. I would like to mark this thread as SOLVED but i do not know how. Hopefully an admin can do this.

KK 4.4.4 GPS issue

Almost all KK nightly has GPS issue occurring. I have tried almost all latest nightlies no hope. Anyone else facing same problems …?
Any fix to the issues?
Assistive GPS may work on all the ROM's but not Accurate (Device Only)
Is it Baseband related issue..? I think Baseband is only for network connectivity..
GPS & NFC not working in CM11 Nightlies

I am using AOSPA Legacy 4.41 and GPS is working fine.
However, I've been reading about this problem, as here, like "all KK" ROMs for Xperia L. Was I lucky that I picked the right one as my first KK to test on my phone?
I suggest you give it a try. Personally, I am very happy with it as my daily ROM.

I will give it a try.. I think the issue was introduced in latest nightlies and this ROM AOSPA- Last release date 2014-07-05 01:44
Hope to see the drawing curtain issue in these nightlies
agps is not working too
Even for me GPS was not working on latest carbon nightlies and liquidsmooth rom. So i installed old build of carbon in which GPS was working fine and then flashed liquidsmooth by wiping data and cache(didnt format system and data). After that GPS was working properly on liquidsmooth.
In case it takes time to lock location by maps, try FasterGPS and GPS Status app.
