After testing for a few Day, seems the LbsTestMode.apk is what is Screwing up GPS..
I've taken the time to rip apart the app and fix the settings in it ( SUPL & Port ), can truly say in my Results I can now get gps working 100% everytime / every factory reset now when opening maps..
I've included 2 version of this Mod, One is For Stock Rom's & Vibrant1-9 Series Rom's. The Second is for Hybrid & Frankin-Twiz Rom's, please Download the Correct one.
Doesn't Matter How you install it, as You can't adb install to /system/app! That only leaves Adding it to a Rom & Flash or ADB Push or Root explorer.
After Adding the App to /system/app folder you must do a Factory reset so the Correct Settings apply off the bat!!!
Download for Stock Rom's & Vibrant1-9
LbsTestMode.apk
Download for Hybrid & Frankin-Twiz Rom's
LbsTestMode.apk
Enjoy

So there are other changes in builds of your custom roms? Im not sure I followed that last part.
Second is this just a simple swap and run, any advantages to having it a runnable in the launcher drawer or just ease of access vs the pound code.

This has Nothing to do with what your Build on... Works on stock build as well.
Launch-able app is main for people that wants to just open with out having to pound it... Also helps as some of my Builds did not include this app..
when you say Factory Reset. Do you mean to do a factory reset of the phone or to just delete GPS Data? If you say factory reset of the phone is there a way to do that with out having to back it all up and restore all your settings.

Yes that's what a Factory Reset Mean..
However, you can try Deleting the GPS Data & reboot the Phone & let me know how that works.
Results after I did factory reset, Lbs GPS Data Reset, then first acquire.
After caching the GPS data from the towers (75 seconds) following are the test screens.
After the data is downloaded for the initial positioning from the cell network the sat locks were progressive and quick.

Again for the sake of preventing rage posts about broken GPS software, it HAS TO CACHE FIRST before it works, no matter what fix you use itll have to cache.

Well, caching sure took awhile - nearly 5 minutes. But it did lock. Haven't had a lock at all in a week, so it's progress - Thanks! Taking a walk in a few, I'll record a track and see how it holds.

I'll give this a try with Delete GPS data / restart and let you know. I really dont want to do a factory reset
Does this mod just change the default values of the settings (SUPL and port), or does it change some other behavior of LbsTestMode?
Also, are these modded APK files compatible with the new leaked Vibrant ROM?

I had the GF test it when she went out with her sister earlier, her signal took a minute or so to lock in and cache, and once they hit the highway not even a glitch. Straight as an arrow in maps and navigation.
The files from the new ROM and this fix makes it run about as perfect as one can ask given hardware constraints.

My phone works great for a day, after that my phone lags down to where it is unusable. WTF?
Great rom Darch and co.! Hope you guys can help.

Try flashing a different kernel
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
apparently i have a zombie process on my phone. That FS.
You should ask the Impaler this on his thread Ask Cm6 question he might b able to help you I'm not familar with a zombie process good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
I have seem to have an issue like this. The phone runs Smooth as can be for a few days then gets laggy, not to point I can't use it but enough that it is annoying? Any ideas?
Did you ever find out what was causing this?
Try wiping dev cache it might work for the lag and like I said before try a different kernel fixed mine
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
With such a vague introduction as to the reason for this apparent lag, its tough to diagnose. So some questions ...
1) What are your SetCPU/Overclock Widget settings for on and off?
2) What are your AutoKiller settings?
3) What kernel are you using?
4) What constant running processes do you have?
Usually, these four questions can provide the answer to all lag. In case you're curious, i would try ...
1) 768/595 on, 352/245 off
2) Aggressive
3) Decand3nce Stable #14
4) Varies from phone to phone. But no matter what running processes you have, it should not cause a dip in free memory below 35 MB. This will assuredly cause lag.
Good luck!
Thanks, I am new to all of this and I appreciate you taking time to help me. I now have SetCPU and when you say 768/595 do you mean the Max/min on the main screen of SetCPU? I just downloaded the Kernal you suggested and will flash that. Thanks...
On Another note my GPS is not working, it will not find my location...

Indeed, that is the setting for the main screen. Additionally, under the "Profiles" tab, create a profile for "Screen off" at 352/245. Otherwise, you will go through battery life like Rosanne Barr does cake.
To fix GPS, download the app "GPS Status" from the market. Once you have and open the app, go to:
Menu=>Settings=>GPS & Sensors=>Manage A-GPS State=>Reset, then Download
Make sure that you give it time to download, and I always download it twice just to be certain. Once you have done this, go into Maps and test it out, it should be good to go.
Good luck!
make sure you have rotation enabled under Menu>settings>display. If you don't want the screen to rotate, just disable the 3 rotation options in cyanogenmod settings.
The process akmd (sensor/rotation) seems to hog cpu if you have rotation disabled in 'display'
I've kept it like that since the issue first started popping up (very beginning of 2.2 roms) No alternative kernels, setcpu, garbage process killers or anything and it's stayed running smooth since gl
another addition: just a semi-related question for you guys out there; why use setcpu to clock at 768? if you keep it at the standard max clock of 691 can you even tell any difference whilst using your phone as you would daily? and im not asking about "ohh i got 450 on quadrant vs 390", strictly user performance gains
As Soon as I move the slider in SetCPU to 768 it locks up the phone. I have flashed the kernal you said to? Any ideas?
All my settings were what impaler recommended me do. For a while it was working great but then the lag came back. This zombie process sucks why my phone. But my phone loves Zen roms.

Certain phones can't handle that high a CPU clock speed. I recommend taking it down to 691, and as long as it runs fine, keep creeping it up over time to get your phones true max. Just let it run for a day at one setting before increasing the speed.
Froyo Hero to the rescue
I have a zombie process on my phone that I have no idea how is got on there. I do like to flash lots of roms when available. Right now I am using ZenAria and it works great. I really like CM6, compliments of Darch and Co. Impaler is the man and tried to help me with getting my phone to work properly with Cyanogen but its a no go. Its works good for like literally 10 mins but then comes back. WTF

have you ran a top command in terminal or adb shell as it gets laggy?
ie. "top -m 4 -n 1" it will show you what's eating up the cpu. and did you check out the display settings as i said?
Here's the pictures again of what I was talking about for the display settings.

Many phones can't handle that high of a speed.
I would be willing to bet it's the AWD Launcher. Try Launcher Pro from the market. Use it for a while and see if you still get the lag coming back. I know this is how I fixed my lag.

My wife's phone is having the same lag problem with CM6 and no overclock. Run smooth for a little bit and then the lag came. Also she is currently using Launcher Pro and the lag is still there. Thinking of reverting hers back to 2.1 and see if the problem exist.
SDspeed 1.0
This is the first iteration of the new graphical SDspeed. Its an apk and requires you to be rooted. It allows not only mounting but cache adjustment also. Just slide the slider, click set, and then mount. To unmount, just safely remove device/unmount/eject on your host computer and disconnect the cable. The GUI is not the cleanest right now, the set button is offset because there is currently a hidden “Set at boot” checkbox to the left of it. I haven’t had time to implement that feature yet.
Get it at http://www.incredikernel.com
Older console version:

Edit: Since I know this is going to be asked. Yes this should work with all kernels > 2.6.35, not just mine.

Every time. No easy way to make it permanent without putting out my own ROM. As much as I would love to do that. I don't have time.
Edit: I might make an easy graphical frontend for it at some point though, so you just hit a button on screen or something.

Excellent, downloading now. You've been on a roll lately, first USB fast charge then this!
You know what would be perfect? If you compiled CM7 with your kernel and tweaks.

It may help to increase your cache also. I think when I do the gui for it, I'll toss in a slider to increase the cache also.
Just got around to using this. Good work, works great. I was averaging 4.3Mb/sec
ok chad, don't laugh at me for this, for i am nowhere close to a computer whiz, but i did this, and when you said to eject/safely remove hardware, i clicked the icon on the lower right screen of my computer to "safely remove hardware", and it did as instructed. but now, my computer doestn't see my phone as disk drive"K" anymore, so i can't transfer anything. so how do i install the hardware back to it's original state? please bear with here....i'm still learning. thanks..
duh, unplug and plug it back in. i shouldv'e tried that first, but i panicked, and it's late...oh well

APK works well with a few caveats:
- large cache inflates speed initially
- speed still seems to settle around 2.25MB/s
- mount button text doesn't change to let user know it's done anything, or that button can be used to unmount (which apparently it doesn't do)
Also, consider implementing the mount/unmount button as a widget and/or notification toggle. One of the most irritating things with CM is how many touches it takes to mount the SD card, especially with the warning.
The new apk works great!

There are clearly still some other issues preventing maximum transfer rate. Not exactly sure what at this time though. I need to tinker some more.
As for the other things, its all stuff I've considered already, I just haven't had time to implement them. Meaning I still need to learn/figure out how. Since as of yesterday morning, I knew absolutely nothing of java and using the SDK. Haha. I just started it yesterday and wanted to put out what functioned so that people don't have to go into the console every time to mount the sd. Plus I'm debating how much time I want to spend on this, since its an issue that should eventually be fixed up stream, not a permanent solution.
Adfree does not block Ads on my TP and I have no idea what to do to fix it.
I have updated the hosts file and it says success you may need to reboot etc, but after a reboot the ads are still there.
I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times trying to get it to work but no joy so far.
I am currently running the official 0522 nightly but Adfree has never worked no matter what rom i have installed.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
I stopped using adfree a long time ago, mainly because of this(not blocking anything). I started using Adaway and it works perfectly.
I second AdAway. I've been using it for a while on my phone and it works great.
Thanks for the heads up, AdAway works nicely, it helps to stop my browser from constantly crashing and force closing without any warning.
Now if I could just figure out a way for the browser to remember to keep me logged in to certain sites like this one. Each time i leave the site I have to re log in. It didn't used to do that with the Alpha version. But on the nightlies it won't remember. The only plus to that is it does remember my user name and pw and enters it into the fields so all i have to do is is tap the logon button. It gets sort of cumbersome after a while when you use a site like this all the time though.

Well, I haven't had this problem with the chrome beta, but the only problem with it is that they've yet to give the ability to use flash player with it.
If I have to come here, I use the XDA Premium app. But that's just me. Chrome remembers most of what I need for most of where I go, and where it doesn't, it does the same - plugs in the username and pass for me.

For those of you who don't know, Safe Mode is similar to what you find on a Windows computer. If your phone seems to have some sort of Malware, Virus or even an annoying bootloop then you can put the phone in Safe Mode to remove the app that you suspect is causing havoc. Its a great tool for anyone with major software issues.
HOW TO GET INTO SAFE MODE: Press and hold the POWER button then you will see 3 options (technically 5 but who's counting). Press and hold POWER OFF until the Safe Mode option pops up and your phone will reboot in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode you will see a water mark that indicates that you've successfully done it correctly.

Hey, this is very interesting. As Nexus users, I trust most of us shouldn't need to use it due to recent nandroid backups we should all be keeping, familiarity with adb we should all have, acute awareness of sketchy looking apps we should all possess, and the end-all fix of factory image installation readily available.
But still, this is interesting. I booted up in to it to experiment. I tried launching Pandora and it worked at first. It got to the splash screen and even a screen after that; one telling me about a new feature of Pandora, but then it force closed after about 3 seconds. I was kind of surprised it even got that far. I wonder how far, programmatically, it got. That feature screen I saw might have been downloaded prior to me booting up into Safe Mode, was cached, and meant to be seen the next time I launched the app. Either way, it was interesting. I also noticed all non-system apps were removed from the app drawer. The only way I could launch Pandora is because it left the icon on the tray at the bottom of my home screen. I find that interesting because it was programmed to remove the icons from the app drawer, but not from the home screen? Also: its claim of all third-party apps being disabled is technically incorrect. It just disables all non-system apps. I have SuperSU, Cerberus, and AOSP browser installed as system apps and they are intact in Safe Mode. Under normal circumstances, I suppose the claim could hold some substance. Although, with carriers and their bloatware apps, the term "third-party" kinda gets skewed...
Anyway, whoa. Back to the original post. Nice find, OP. It's pretty cool that Android has such a state.

Yeah, the SAFE MODE feature should only work for SYSTEM APPS and not 3rd party ones. Its a great feature for anyone having bootloops with apps such as SETCPU (if you mess with the minimum CPU speed and you run into constant bootloop).
I'm glad I could contribute my find with others in this community.

new way
This trick I knew from before but day before yesterday I found a new one....here it is
so just power off you device and then power it on, then let the google logo go and after the boot animation starts just keep pressing the volume down button until u get back to the lock screen and there it is.
Question, Im in a bootloop and my Nexus wont go past it. I can get to recovery mode. Tried a few things and still in a boot loop. Anyway to get to safe mode if my phone wont turn on to get to the power menu?

I'm honestly not sure how to do SAFE MODE unless the phone is booted up. If you can get into recovery then your best bet would be to WIPE the data & CACHE.
I'm not sure what even caused your boot loop since you posted limited information. If that doesn't work then tell me more and maybe I can help solve your issue.

Hello, I'd like to solve a problem with the annoying google search widget on recents @Lollipop and a user says in order to solve it I need to jump into safe mode and hit the recent button once, after that the widget should be gone.
I followed the instructions to get into safe mode, but I went into bootloop ?
I had to restore my backup afterwords
Why this could happen? Thanks for reply!
Thanks! Somehow I managed to trigger this on my standby HTC 610 and had no idea what it was. Had the same watermark in the bottom corner so it's built in to android
bro does it really work???

MIUI General FAQ
Q: How do I root this?
A: Enable root in the perm manager, which can be found in the security folder.
Q: Why is G-Apps not listed for Download?
A: Too Bloaty, add a Google account and install the play store as an APK, I suggest using Aptoide to find it.
Q: 4G LTE isn't working
A: Load the Phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, goto Phone information, Set preferred network type to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).
Q: Help! Phone/SystemUI/Keyboard Isn't working/Is Force Closing!
A: Make sure to do a completely clean wipe, also I'm not sure how well this will work if flashed in CWM.
Q: The Browser looks terrible.
A: Settings -> Advanced -> User agent string -> MiOne (It Renders much better & more naturally!)
Q: My Filesystems won't mount/My PC can't see my device/My phone won't act as a MTP/USB Mounting isn't working!
A: Settings -> Developer Options -> Enable Development / USB Debugging (switch both to on)

are you using a custom theme? If you are not trying applying a theme. you can get some from here http://en.miui.com/thread-14216-1-1.html
I had the same issue once but applying a theme brought it back to normal.

No, my rom has nothing to do with 2699462's.
I am Tquetski not 2699462, It's a different person and this is a different ROM entirely.
This is not a repost of someone elses work lol

Idk, I'm not that guy but there is prob. not too huge of a difference since they both seem to be AOSP base.
I don't know why his is as heavy as mine, the KB+ Translation files account for most of this files size and outside of that it's pretty clean (no weird code or custom APKs)
After Flash Report
Okay flashed this morning, because i fell asleep while formatting my data in recovery last night (huge fail) lol.
Haven't seen much reports on this rom, so i decided to flash & do it myself.
But anyway, so far on first flash, no problems what so ever, booted up normally & quickly, no force closures besides one (as far as i know), nothing major tho, just when you enable the 'smiley' button on the Xperia keyboard, the keyboard force closes, no biggie at all, us android users can easily switch key boards .
Another few UI issues i ran into (again nothing major), i guess a little glitch, the weather icon & calender icons are invisible, not 100%, you can see the shadows, but the icon design itself is missing, also the invisible lockscreen which was already mentioned, these icon & lockscreen issues are easily fixed by applying a theme, another thing, when setting a wallpaper, the alignment was way off, was easily fixed with a reboot tho, not sure if applying a theme also fixed it, but it works regardless with no effort.
Mms works, but i had to do a simple APN edit, honestly haven't checked if the APN settings that came with the ROM works, haven't tested it because i usually use this one specific edit for any MIUI Rom i flash.
Besides that, the Rom has been working flawless for me atleast, also not sure about battery life, when i woke up, my phone was dead due to falling asleep in recovery at 4%, so i will report back on that & any other issues if i run into.
To the dev, great job on the Rom, MIUI can be a pain to most when porting .
To the users, all issues I've reported so far shouldn't discourage you from flashing the Rom, pretty much one time issues, so no doubt flash away
Could you please post your apn edit for us?

Miui usually comes with its own core apks I believe, no need to flash gapps & for the APN edits, go to your APN settings, you should see 4 APN saved, edit any one of the last 2, for the name, put Sprint, for the APN edit under name, I use cinet.spcs then go down to MMSC, click on it and don't erase anything, just add "/servlets/mms" (no quotes) , save it, click on it, reboot & lemme know if it works, honestly, I think it was a trial so keep trying, also mess with the *#*# 4636#*#* menu & see if you get lucky
Well done on this. Hope your builds continue as the other MIUI roms will not work on the latest version of Philz recovery

I think the MIUI base is pretty much to outdated for Philz, i mean come one, its 4.2.2 , CWM & TWRP flashes it flawlessly tho, so no big deal
The S4 Sprint is the quiet crowd; over here it's not too noisy.
I am updating this in a few hours with substantially huge updates. MIUI software camera is functional now so people who like this kind of thing will enjoy it
awesome job on this, runs smooth, all apps seems to be working, haven't had any force closes and GPS is working. i would say nice daily driver if you like MIUI alot.

A lot of those core apks do not work correctly while some do. its hit or miss. Or let me rephrase and say dont work as intended. Like the market that comes with miui is no where close to be like the play store and its in chinese.

I'd say the only real difference is that he used PatchROM where I just use the same Frameworks from my Razr XT926 and then fork it across every device I build for.. Interestingly in this case his release is more of an 'original work' even though mine is more functional but I'll get to that later.
The thing is that I don't really give a fk about being all original, I do care about results. If I continued to use XT926 components from my project here that would be the case but I seen the S4 mini had a working MIUI camera so I just took it along with the CameraParameters and forked it to this to see if it would really run, it did.
I'm not swinging my peen around by releasing over someone else; this port took 5 minutes real-time because my workspace is a little different than a Linux workspace; I fork to multiple devices for greater feedback so I'm really just testing here not trying to steal someone elses usersbase; I'm just playing around and having fun
