[Completed] How can I make my GPS work as it used to be before switching to CM 12.1 - XDA Assist

I have a Samsung Note 3 (SM-N900P) on Android 5.1.1. I removed the stock OS that the phone came with and installed CM 12.1 (CM12.1-20160807-NIGHTLY-hltespr) Ever since I installed CM, I started having a lot of issues with my GPS both with google maps and with other apps that require usage of GPS services like PokemonGo for example. On this particular issue the carrier is a bit irrelevant, because the Note 3 I own used to be with Sprint, but then I switched to AT&T and I use a Moto E to tether the Note 3 (plus I didn't have money at the time to get the same phone but from AT&T). I've tried looking for relevant topics on how to "configure" the GPS, but i havent seen anyone so far with a similar situation as mine.

[Completed] Samsung Note 717 - Strange data usage

I'm using a rooted stock AT&T Samsung Note SGH-717. I looked at my data usage today for a completely unrelated reason, and discovered that something called "10290" had burned through 1.24G on wifi. Then I found a couple other 5-digit bandits that hadn't made nearly as big a dent.
It does appear to have stopped its deluge about a week ago. "Coincedentally", I used Link2SD to move some apps around at about that time.
I've done several searches and am shocked that I can't find any other answer, so here I am. I can't begin to guess where to start looking for this solution.
Thanks for any help available!
Hi there!
Nope, can't find anything like that either. I can only suggest you ask in the Question and Answer section for your device. Perhaps someone has heard of such a thing.

[Completed] [Q] Stock Samsung Apps on Huawei Mate 2

Hello XDA-Devs,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
You guys have been a great resource in getting my Nexus 4 rooted, and flashed with CWM + CM11 + Franco Kernel (Which has made a huge difference in usability, and battery life).
However, my boss has some questions for me since he now knows I am a "phone head".
He used to have a note 3, and loved the Samsung Mail App. He said it was the best mail app you could get, and it had a lot of similar functionality to outlook. He is wondering if it's possible to install the Stock SAMSUNG mail app to his Huawei Ascend Note 2. He also asked if he could flash the Samsung 4.4.4 release to his Huawei without getting all the AT&T bloatware attached. I've done an extensive amount of googling between yesterday and this morning and could not find a clear answer.
From what I understand, you cannot flash the stock Samsung S4 / Note 3 / S3 ROMs because the phones do not have the same hardware, but can I get the APKs from the Samsung stock apps?
Would be a huge help if anyone has an answer for me. Or if anyone has the APKs for the Samsung email app, please send a link!
Each Samsung Device firmware is based around what is called Touchwiz Framework. This is propriatory to Samsung device and hence most of the Samsung apps will not function without it. Some of the Samsung Apps do function without the Touchwiz framework but there are additional steps necessary.
Please post in Galaxy Note 3 General so that the right experts for that device may be of help.

Any Android Auto owners?

I'm looking to see if the new Android Auto technology is compatible with the Galaxy Note 4 and if anyone here has had any success stories to share. I've read a thread in the past where users were having problems with the MirrorLink technology the Note 4 has built in. I don't want to spend $1k on a head unit that won't be compatible with my phone. My Note 4 is the Retail Verizon Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V).
When responding, PLEASE state what carrier you're on. This information is essential, as both Verizon and AT&T have locked bootloaders and are currently not permanently rootable, thus some connection settings may not be currently attainable.
I have Sprint Note 4 rooted and running the awesome Hybrid X Series odexed version
I have mirroring working on a newly installed Panasonic AVH-4100NEX head unit. I got the one without Nav because the navigation systems date the hardware and apps for nav have come a long way and pretty much replace built in nav.
Big help is to be found in the http://avic411.com/ forums. Mine can run video while under way but i will be running nav and YaV1 (yet another Valentine 1 app) rather than fooling with streaming video or DVDs.
Cheers

Thank you for your reply. When you first connected mirroring, were there any signs that the process was asking for root access? I would like to know if root IS required or not.
I only had my truck for an hour taking it from the stereo shop to the body shop. I tested with the AR Unchained Reloaded app, which requires root. When I get the truck back I can test it with my wife's non-root S4 if it has mirror capability. But I think it does not have mirroring. I would search on the avic411 forum. I'll take a look there too.
I have this problem
I had the Chevy Mylink in my 2016 Chevy Colorado Z71 updated through my dealership for the Andriod Auto software update and I'm working with a Samsung Note 4 (AT&T) with 5.1.1 and cannot get sound when playing music. I read the horror stories online about the troubleshooting and was hoping someone had a fix, any help or ideas? thanks

Verizon - Galaxy Tab E 9.6 (SM-T567V) Root and Custom OS Question

I have an older Galaxy Tab E SM-T567V that I have handed down to my 7 year old. It is running Nougat 7.1.1. It no longer has an active SIM, Wi-Fi only. Over the years I have occasionally checked around to see if anyone found a way to flash custom operating systems and/or root this model. Most info I find is years old and at that time the consensus seemed to be that it couldn't be done. Now that it has been almost 5 years since the release of this model I thought for sure someone would have found a way. I have not had any luck in my search for this information. Does anyone know if a solution to this was ever found and if so would you please point me in the right direction? I see all of these amazing custom OS's that I would love to try but i seem to have the only android device it can't be done.
Any help or information is greatly appreciated!
You can't unlock Verizon devices. Only Verizon can do it and they won't do it even if the third cold war will start if they don't unlock this device.

ROMs for Sprint Slate 8 AQT80?

I got one of these tablets for free with a bad battery and have installed a new one. It was being glitchy, would not allow changing the USB connection from charge only. So I wiped it and logged into my Google account.
Now it's refusing to update Google Play Services using WiFi, just sits on Pending forever, despite it having already updated other things and installed some apps, which won't run without updating Google Play services.
Are there any ROMs for this tablet based on newer than Android 5? 5.1.1 is what's on it and I've found info that the last official version was slightly newer.
Lineageos would be nice on it. I have it on an old Galaxy Tab 3 7" but it's one with the fast battery drain when off defect that Samsung never did anything about, other than fixing it in a revision. (I have one of the revised versions, thinking about giving it the Lineageos treatment.)
