Hi all, I'm struggling to get my GPS to lock on using custom ROMs. My stock system is ICS 4.0.4 (6.16.217.XT894) and with Safestrap 3.11 I've tried Carbon, CM, and AOKP but cannot get the navigation to lock on.
I've tried clearing caches, reinstalling, and GPS status/fix apps. Everything works fine on the stock side but not on the custom ROMs, is this because my stock side is 4.0 and my ROMs are 4.1 and 4.2? Does my stock ROM need to be at least JB for the GPS to work? I've even tried getting a GPS lock on the stock side and quickly booting to a custom ROM with no luck.
Thanks!
If you want to run 4.1 or 4.2 custom rom's you have to update your stoke rom to 4.1.2 jb this should get the gps working

I was on jb 4.1.2 when i rooted then safestrapped and have tried several custom roms. I am currently on cm 10.1.2 and completely wiped my stock rom so that it has nothing but stock apps. It doesnt matter which i use, i still cannot get a gps lock. Gps test doesnt ever find any sats. The compass works perfectly and of course wifi pinpoints location with perfect accuracy but still gps nav. Is my gps fried or is there a fix out there? My phone is perfectly functional and i dont mind using maps for directions but turn by turn would be helpful obviously as i drive solo quite often. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering why GPS didn't work for me never on custom roms which had GPS "fixed"? I've been using Floyo 2.2 version stable rom for some time on my X8 and it supported GPS but it didn't worked for me never, just didn't pick the signal even on gps tests, now I'm using latest the new CM7.1.0 STABLE FXP027 with unlocked boot loader and latest kernel and it's says that GPS is roking but it didn't work for me eighter not showing sattelites not picking signal. On stock 2.1 android it worked flawlesly so I doubt it's hardware problem. I also done factory cleaning when I flashed roms/kernels. So here I'm asking what can I do to make it work, where I should start first?
Thanks in advance!
Try "faster fix" app from Market to fix

Thanks it helped I tested it today it works great with Sygic navigation and other GPS software. Thanks again.
the same problem with me, it doesnt even show the gps icon on the statusbar, the gps tester app doesnt show any signal whatsoever, even fasterfix doesnt help as there is no gps!, is there any solution?
this problem is found since i flashed ics rom
i used to be rocket rom user, everything works great with r rom v22
then i started to use ics, also started to face the problem
the first ics rom i flashed is midtone2.0, everything is fine but the tethering
when data is in use, the tethering will turn off automatically and immediatly each time i turn it on.
however, when i turn off data...tethering runs normally, but it s useless as no network function...
then i reinstall the rom, but nothing changes
few days after i flashed the team rokcket rom, thought i could solve this issue
however it is still the same
then i restored the rocket rom, then the tethering works fine again with data in use
i repeated flashing ics and restoring and wiping and blah blah blah...nothing takes effect
team rocket rom: same problem
midtone2.0 :same problem
chain fire ics repack: same problem
i've go through a lot of threads but didnt find a solution...anyone got an idea?
sorry for my poor eng

All the ROMs u have tried with is based on Chinese leak i9220. So still the ROM is in Beta Stage and need to fix lot of bugs in it. you should wait for proper N7000 leak which is going to be out in next few days.
yes...but just feel so strange as it seems like i'm the only one facing this issue...
i 'll will try other ics leak from other countries then, hope it helps

Also, does anyone have a problem with tethering via usb?
I currently have Youngunns AOKP rom installed on my phone which works great.
However I have tried to flash 3 other Roms after clearing Dalvik, Cache and User Data and whenever I use bluetooth and it connects to my car it freezes and then crashes to the Moto unlocked bootloader message and stays there.
The only way to get it to reboot is by holding down the Power & Volume buttons.
Then once the Rom boots up it freezes up and does the same exact thing even if I have the bluetooth off.
Any Ideas what can be causing this as it has done it on Pacman, the other AOKP Rom and Liquid Rom too.
Thanks in advance
Happened to me too with aokp. I haven't found a custom ROM yet that has all I need, so back to stock I went.

I'm on younguns 6/24 AOKP and it does not have the Bluetooth problem.
I'm thinking since I tried the latest versions of the above mentioned roms that maybe they were all built from the same source, thus having the same problem with Bluetooth.
Anyone else running into this problem?

Alright so I just installed the latest liquid ROM v 2.9 and it did the same thing with the BT.
However when I flashed v 2.8. Bluetooth seems to work fine with no bootloop.
So it seems that the latest liquid, PAC, and non-youngunns AOKP all have the same problem.
I hope they fix it in later updates

I tried a few roms out an seem to all have removed prl update, poor to little signal, broken gps locking, an a few other issues. My concern today I'm bringing up is wondering if anyone could supply me a clean stock rom. I need to wipe and install it. I feel going back to stock is my best option at this time so atleast my functions could work. Just at the moment kind of lost. sorry for the noob help.
What rom are you using that it's broken on? Working fine on tranquil but its far from a stock rom

Stock rom is more stable & fast, but I don't like the UI.
Using CM, works fine.

Hi everyone, i've tested various custom roms for my xt1052 (from cm 11 to cm12), and with every rom the gps isn't working....so i'm thinking that it's impossible that every rom has that bug..... is there someone that have solved to this problem? i read something about gps locking from stock, but i don't understand... can you explain it to me? Now i'm using the last aicp 5.0.2... Thanks
Reflash stock from clean wipe. Get a GPS lock. Install a custom ROM.... Profit?!?
My gps works fine on Eclipse rom 4.4.4

I've been using Here Maps on Epsilon project Rom for work with no problems. Last I read, several Lollipop Roms have bugs related to GPS?
Epsilon and Eclipse are stock roms, Custom roms are like Liquid Smooth, PAC, CM, PA, and others.
And I'm also with those GPS problems.

Well, i can't pass directly from stock to lollipop...i must flash a 4.4.4 rom first (if not i have bootloop)...i had locked gps in stock, then went to recovery, wipe, install 4.4.4 rom and when boot no gps signal....i'm doing something wrong?!
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can jump from 4.2.2 all the way to 4.4.4 or 5.0 if you like. However, going going backwards is a different story and should not be done.
Which version of Android are you currently running?
