[Q] Which other ROM has functioning GPS beside MIUI? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that GPS support is a widespread weakness in custom ROMs like CM. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to find it out worked on MIUI when I tested it.
I don't know what secret sauce they added to make it work but I'm curious if there are any other ROMs that did the same.
Thanks!

In cm based ROMs GPS is working. If u think it is not working on your phone use GPS status and tool box.

I tested it 3 months ago and couldn't get it to work. I read it is related to the compass not working in custom ROMs. Can you confirm it is okay now? I will be happy to try again.

For example on PA 3.99 it was working (quite slow but it was).
When u are trying to use GPS for first time u shold have internet acces.

I installed your VanirAOSP 4.4.2 but I had no network, the baseband and also the IMEI were unknown. I followed all steps for installation. I used TWRP, and was on a stock firmware when I did the installation. Returned to stock via ODIN and network was back and so was the IMEI. What could be cause of this. It also happened with 2 other 4.4.2 roms. Most puzzled.

Bought new s3 and not sure if I have to flash it

Hey guys
I am on xxugna8 and I am not sure if my phone can get any better. I came from i9000 on cm10.2 and now I am super happy with my new stock s3. How is your experience with the latest cm11 or cm10.2? Is it worth to flash? What would you recommend?
Thanks very much for your opinions.

I'm also happy with my stock Rom but my phone is rooted I waiting for 4.4 stock Rom. In my opinion samsung Rom is quite good. Only 4.4 I will load in my phone

Well, cm 10 has a stable on the s3. But you are probably right. Don't change a winning team, I guess…

i don't have an s3...i have an s3 4g....
Well it sounds like you're curious about cm. Why not give it a go?
I was the same, happy with my stock until I was slightly unhappy with it (about 6 months on....) then I started tweaking and now I'm on CM.
In my experience with my s3 which i've had just over a year and half, playing around with different roms . I prefer stock rom for its stability. CM or other modded custom roms may be faster, provide few extra features here and there, but there always seems to be tiny bugs here and there. Mostly problems with the camera. And for my own usage i think Stock Sammy rom is more than enough, and if you need extra features use xposed modules and most of the things you need will be there

Jerry, if that's the case, maybe look at stable or official releases...
They get updated possibly the same amount as stock roms if not more, and are stable.
That being said though, most people who don't stock want the latest version even if it's beta at times, which why some ROMs like CM have nightly, weekly, stable and official releases.
Hope that helps.

How is the official cyanogenmod?

Have any one tried the official cyanogenmod for xperia sp? (nightly build)
And how is the battery life and preformance?
downloading and will test

Ok there is offical cm kernel, with sony logo, this rom is booting and works. There is Android OS battery drain fix so should be ok. This is android 4.4.2 not 4.4.3 yet, works fluid. You can install and try it its safe. http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/get/huashan-latest.zip
You can enter recovery by volume up button :3
Antutu test passed without reboot twice, points: 20382 and 16656
2d performance good, 3d medium for now ( 3d performance jumps)
There is updated theme engine.

cm 10 is based on 4.1.2 and this tablet came with 4.2.2 so that is completely useless, btw you can't just port someting you need a lot for it porting is not that easy.
and for miui porting that one is even harder!

I have made several attempts my self to just get CM10 or 10.2 to port to this device but my issue is what device to port from. I am really new at this and pretty much just experimenting but from the videos that I have watched and the threads that I have read, I think I have the porting process down. But when I actually try to port from another device (Samsung tab 2 7" inch) the files needed are way different. Does someone have an idea of the perfect (I mean good starting point) device to port from?

To port anything to T110 u need to find a device with same or similar motherboard to yours. Tab 2 7 isn't a device you're looking for.

CyanogenMod 10.1 is 4.2.2 you can try it
PiPad OS for the T210 is soon releasing! Would be nice to have more developers on the team and port the rom!
Need some help?

I am Slenderman8090, from Galaxy Grand Prime region. I wanted to open some of my knowledge to you, the rom flashers/porters. There is alot to know when it comes to devices.
It's kind of hard to make a ROM for this device because unfortunately there is no complete device tree for it.

Read mode from miui to other rom

I've been extensively using the read mode on miui. I've flashed Slim 7 now. I've tried using 4-5 other apps from Playstore and didn't like any of them. Is there a way to get the default read mode of miui on other roms?

Some cm based roms for example ressurection remix have live display in their rom. It is the same feature with read mode.
Did you try cf.lumen? It is even better than stock miui reading mod but it need root for that (other way it works like overlay).
