All this time that I have been flashing ROMs, I have noticed that on Some ROMs GPS fixes like a charm without even modifying any setting in the ROM(gps.cong and gpssetup). Whereas on some ROMs, no matter what you do, gettin a fix is a pain.
I read somewhere that maybe if we flash only the modem(inside the tar) of the ROM in which we got the fix properly, then it might solve the issue.
What do you people have a say?
okay.. no replies.
GPS questions are apparently not very often get solved
I would try it but i want confirmation of a dev if this is possible before i do something wrong with my phone
Hi all.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but this thread is regarding bugs on custom ROMs, so here I am.
A while back I switched from CM7 to WajkIUI, and I really have enjoyed this ROM since trying it. Recently however, I've noticed a couple of issues regarding MIUI/WajkIUI and Tasker. I've mentioned my problems in the relevant ROM thread here, and also on MIUIandroid.com, but nobody seems able/willing to help.
I have profiles configured within Tasker that will switch my phone to mute (Silent Mode) when I'm at work (based on WIFI near attribute, which is working fine). WajkIUI ROMs subsequent to 1.9.2 are unable to switch this, or indeed make any changes to volume.
I also have a profile that will switch on Bluetooth when I get an incoming call (using the Incoming Call option in Tasker). I've no idea when this stopped working, I'm on 1.9.2 at the moment, and it doesn't work here. I've tested the profile activates, and it does - but it doesn't switch on Bluetooth.
Finally, my third bug relates to the above, but not Tasker. If I switch Bluetooth on manually and pair with my headset - I can't get my headset to answer the call or to ring the last number (two things it has always done before).
Is there ANYONE who can help fix these? Are these issues solely on MIUI based ROMs, or does CM7 also have this issue - as I'm seriously considering switching back.
Thanks.
250+ views and not one response? Boy do I feel lonely now.
So, seeing as how nobody can offer any help on my actual problems - can someone give me a clue to how I go about decompiling a ROM to check the code out myself please?

Try to update to 1.9.23
Will that work? I've tried all of them up to that, but every time had to downgrade due to the problems. I got fed up of installing a ROM only to have to uninstall it five minutes later.

I think it's a bug in MIUI itself. If you check the app on market, there's a lot on Market who says so.
that's what I thought - I've an ignored thread in the bug forum on miuiandroid, hence my last question about decompiling the ROM so I can investigate myself.
I was helping my brother trouble shoot his Inspire's inability to get a GPS fix when using MIUI. He told me he had tried all the driver swaps and other methods that are commonly prescribed, and that nothing had worked. However, in CM7 and sense based ROMs the GPS worked fine.
In EVO circles, this is a common problem on MIUI as well. The work around that has been developed is as follows:
1) Install a [near]stock ROM. Anything sense based should work.
2) Turn on the GPS radio
3) Leave it on, and reflash your favorite ROM (MIUI/CM7/etc)
That should fix it. It worked great on his phone, and he is happily navigating in MIUI with full accuracy and a very short acquisition time.
Enjoy!
sounds more like it was a bad flash or bad agps data left behind. but then i dont use miui. There is a bit more involved with the 'evo gps fix' and you havent done any of that. I havent seen any problems thus far with gps that wasnt fixed with the proper methods for cm. miui has its own set of problems and isnt really supported here.

Well this was the method that worked for his phone, after all the other inspire fixes had failed. He'd flashed, cleared, reflashed, MIUI (various releases) and continued to have the same GPS problem. I figured I'd share in case anyone else was in a similar boat.

Sorry I'm very to new all this stuff. I barely managed to root my Note Pro 12.2 a month or 2 ago, even then I did manage lose all my data.
But anyways, I recently got an OTG cable to plug my Xbox One controller into my Note Pro, and it seems to work fine when I pair it up with JoystickCenter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygolddemo&hl=en)
However some apps don't support controllers, but JoystickCenter has a Touch Emulation feature. When I try to enable it I get an error Can't access dev/uinput
I looked into this and found some info on it - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pokes-android-apps/sME_vV9pPcE/K-eTQFY_TpMJ
Which led me to this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53343683
I tried everything there, but I still believe SELinux is in Enforce mode :\
So I was wondering about the third fix listed, about installing a custom kernal.
I do see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772908
I would be willing to attempt (It does say Knoxless, so I would assume it would fix my issue I'm having?) however I have no idea how to flash ROMs.
I looked up some guides about recovery mode and bootloaders, but I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I have seen some recent posts about not enough development for the NP 12.2, but I did find this http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/224
Maybe some people who know what they are talking about could set me straight on all this, and if it's possible for me to get around my issue?
Thanks in advance
The ROM you link to contains the stock kernel & won't get you any further forward. http://graemehill.ca/turning-a-galaxy-note-pro-into-a-linux-laptop/ seems to be the most promising source of advice I've found so far. If you have the same device as the author you can use the kernel he compiled. Unfortunately I don't think I do & am wary of trying to set up my own build environment being fairly comprehensively clueless, so I'm hoping someone with at least some experience will pick this up.
Do post back here if you find a solution. I'm after a permissive kernel for the same reason you describe.

Q&A for [ROM][4.4.4] OmniROM - Stingray/Stingray_CDMA - bigPart
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][4.4.4] OmniROM - Stingray/Stingray_CDMA - bigPart. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
no sound, no auto-rotate
I am fairly new to Rooting and updating my Xoom to the newest Kitkat system. I am having 2 issues as of right now. The sound has never worked no matter what the settings say, and initially the auto-rotate was functioning and suddenly it stopped.
I have checked all options/setting and see nothing that should explain either of these 2 issues. I also didnt add any new apps in the time from initial update to the auto-rotate not working so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Again I am fairly new to all this, so the simpler or more detailed the potential solution the more likely I will understand it.
Thanks.
No sound on Omni 4.4 cmda version
I love the rom, only problem is I have no sound on the cmda version. I read the comments and saw people suggest install the top rom version over the bottom and then reflashing gapps. Should have sound. When I do this tablet boots but keeps giving me error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I say ok but it keeps coming up and wont let me get any further. Any suggestions?
volume issue
Anyone know how to fix the no sound issue in omni rom 4.4.4 stingray cdma? I cant get any sound at all. Help would be appreciated.
Took a couple go's but now up and running 4.4.2!
Thank you!
First time I've moved from the standard stock implementation, never even rooted the device before, but a couple attempts and following your instructions I managed to install BigPart, Flash omni-4.4.2-201XXXXX-everest-HOMEMADE_XXXX.zip, gapps-xxxx.zip & UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip.
I was about to give up on the Xoom and buy something newer, Tab S or something, but this appears to have put new life back into the old Xoom!
Followed the instructions above, but could not get it to clear Dalvik, failed every time. In the end I bit the bullet and formatted the internal drive, then flashed again - worked like a charm - figured since I was going to pass it over for a new one or this was going to work I had little to lose. As it happens I now seem to have it back & working well.
Now have bunch of apps back installed and trying them all out, so far most appear to be fine; though Google maps crashes whenever I zoom in too far.... less than a country level, I don't mean excessively far - thoughts?

Google Maps v9+ has problems on the Xoom with all the different custom ROMS (Omni, CWM, EOS, etc). You need to downgrade to Maps v8.4.1 to get it to work.

It has also been noted that 9.2.0 is rolling out and that it works on the Xoom. I updated yesterday and did a quick check - it does appear to work fine!
No Sound
After I flashed "[ROM][4.4.4] OmniROM - Stingray/Stingray_CDMA - bigPart." onto my Verizon Motorola Xoom 4G Tablet,
I have no sound at all and also the auto-rotate feature does not work (stays locked in portrait mode until reboot).
A number of other forum members have posted the same problem. Can we get a solution from someone on the forum?
have all but twrp v 2.6.3 big part
I have every thing I need except big part v2.6.3, none of the links I've found work? Does it have to be v2.6..3. ? There seem to be updated versions?
No 3g or 1x fallback
Install this today, everything went ok, execpt i could not get verizon 3g or 1x service. 4g works fine, when i have coverage. SBF back to stock again i guess.
e:unable to mount '/cache
The process for flashing the xoom (stingray model) seems somewhat straightforward. Yet I can't seem to get a working flash from the effort. Two problems:
1) during the "wipe this and that" stage while running in recovery, I get "FAILED" for each of the requisite areas to wipe, along with other messages such as that in the title. while i find a handful of other posts within this forum from folks experiencing the same problem, i find nothing in response with useful suggestions to fix what's apparently broken;
2) the tablet boots up to the OMNI splash-screen, and that's it.
I've repeated the steps at the head of this thread umpteen-zillion times. But the result is the same after each attempt. Either some critical step (or two) is/are missing from the initial (and horribly written) description, or I have the most stubborn tablet built.
i haven't bricked the thing... i can access it via adb, and i can get into recovery with no issues. what i can't seem to do is:
1) find a TWRP download using the links provided that doesn't trip quarantine due to virus detection; or,
2) find a coherent set of instructions that correctly describe the logical flow of the process of flashing a ROM on a Xoom.
Suggestions?
CDMA Voice and data programming
Hi,
Thanks for your effort and excellent work but I need some help, The main thing i want to try, is to get back my CDMA signal because since i tried the stock rom 4.1.2 i was not able to get any Data working there, my xoom is a just CDMA with no sim or LTE upgrade and i already tried 2 basebands on it the one with the last version of the stock room and the one that gets installed with the IMML update but no luck, if by any chance you have the first baseband it would be great i guess its something like 2.00.
Another question that I have is related to BP tools or programming the Cdma xoom, every time I try to start in bp tools I was not able to see the utility, just today i tried to connect to my PC and its not able to connect to CDMA Workshop or QPST, is there a way to do that? i need to activate something? any idea would be great!
And would be great if you have any MZ600 SBF where has included the first baseband 2.00 'cause probably it will help me to recover my 3g data (it's the only thing i didn't find and try).
Thanks!!!
is this have a default calling future like any mobile?
Thank You to OmniRom for xoom devolopers (all of you)
I just wanted to post a thank you to all of the developers of the omnirom for xoom. I was able to install it tonight, with a couple soft brick scares, but it is up and ruining. I love my xoom and am very appreciative.
Thanks....Steve
Xoom OnmiROM freezes
I've got a similar problem to the problem outlined in this post. My son also has seen it on his Xoom.
When it becomes unresponsive (either on the dock or not), the only way I can recover is to hold the volume up and the power button until the tablet reboots. To me, it appears it goes into a deep sleep that the power button alone can't wake it up from.
There seems to be no set time period that the tablet has to be up before it hangs. Sometimes I can set it down for an hour and other times it's still responsive the next day.

It's not real common for this to happen, but this same issue does occasionally happen on the CyanogenMod 11 Rom also. Other than this, and the workarounds to do a few other things in Android 4.4.4, the Xoom has been a real God send that is just amazing.
Non-Functioning Sensors post-flash w/Omni Stingray

After I noticed that the auto-rotate didn't work, I downloaded "My Android Sensors" from the Play Store. It shows the NO sensor is working. What gives..?
