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?

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.

Hello, I am happily running Cyanvivo 10.1 (thanks developers!). I know there is an update due out soon, and this was my first time installing a custom rom. My question is, knowing that OTA isn't supported, when the update comes out will have have to wipe and re-flash, loosing everything, or is there an easier process saving my data? I looked around for the answer some but have not found it as of yet. Thanks!

The way I do it, I use SMS Backup&Restore and Titanium Backup. When I finish saving all my files, reboot into recovery, wipe everything but the SD card, and flash the ROM. When it boots up and setup is finished, then I just restore everything back using the apps listed previously.
Of course you can just dirty-flash if you're lazy but don't expect help if you run into problems. The only place where a dirty-flash should not be done is if:
1. You're switching ROM (ex. you are going from CyanVivo10.1 to SVHD v1.7.1)
2. It's the same ROM but it has a different base.

yes it is. I wrote this post before I went to the development to see PACman
I recommend PACman ROM as well due to its immense number of features (CM+AOKP+AOSPA)(CyanogenMod, Android Open Kang Project, Parnaoid Android).
That is if you don't mind the occasional bug here and there.
Has anyone tried to go back to Android 4.4 after flashing lollipop 5.0?
I haven't been able to flash any Android 4.4 ROM after installing. Does anyone have any idea on how to do so?
Any help is truly appreciate.
Where did you get Lollipop from? Is there some sort of OTA that I'm unaware of? Do you have an SM-N910T or some other variant?
If you flashed a Lollipop ROM like CM or Liquid Smooth from the development section you should be able to Odin back to stock no problem. As far as I know there is no official Lollipop for the T-Mobile Note 4..

Yes. I installed Liquidsmooth from the development section. But Odin does not recognize my phone.
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4.
BTW thanks for the rapid help!
Do a wipe in team win recovery. Cache, Dalvick cache, and data.
Then flash a 4.4.4 rom.
I've done it many many times, without issue
Ok. It seems like there was a issue with the phone's drivers. Now Odin recognizes my phone.
Now the question is: I have some android 4.4 Roms in my sdcard such as Infamous v8, DinamicKat etc. How do I flash one of them through Odin since I have not been able to do it through TWRP in recovery mode?
Thanks again for the help.
Can't flash those through Odin. You need to Odin back to stock, root, flash TWRP, then load a custom ROM.
You see anything good in LolliPop?
Well, the UI is different (doesn't mean better), I'm running Liquidsmooth beta. There are a ton of features missing on this ROM. That's the reason for why Im going black to kitkat 4.4

Flash in TWRP CM12 port you'll get the lolipop UI from it. Works great super smooth but audio randomly goes super loud. Other people running CM12 across other devices are having this issue too.

I try ROMs and ROMs and ROMs and all are unusable, because the
phone freezes with nameless-5.1.1-20151107-p880-nightly or
reboots when starting apps with euphoria-os-1.1-p880-unofficial-20160208-user or
is extremely slow and is stottering with aosplp-20151122-p880
a..s.o
The apps which lead to a reboot with euphoria work fine with aosp and nameless. Euphoria is fast, faster than nameless, which would be fast enough for me. There are no problems which exist with every ROM.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a ROM for the P880 which works without big problems. At the moment I think about to go back to 4.4 and try beanstalk-4.4.4010-20140904-p880cm
Of course I would be happy to find a ROM with fixed stagefright-bugs, but it looks like to be impossible

Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66049970&postcount=1195
This is the latest 5.1.1 ROM with security patch level at 2016-04-01. It has all known stagefright bugs fixed so far.
If you wish to report issues on the ROM I shared, then use the thread over there, not here.
MoltenMotherBoard is the last custom ROM that I miss to test. I'm going to try it in the next days.
According to my test, my answer to the thread question is: NO, there's no custom rom working fine for my daily use.
Actually fastest rom was liquid smooth 4.4.4. Our phone hardware outdated. Like the others said this phone is crap
I'm running Euphoria version 1.0-p880-20150130 (Android 5.0.2), it's the best Lollipop based custom ROM for our device in my opinion. Unlike AOSP it has more settings (& features), and it's more stable than later versions of Euphoria. If you want to stick to KitKat, check out the latest CM nightlies.
To be honest, after 2 years of testing custom ROM... today i finally found the best one to keep... STOCK!!!
I've re-discovered the pleasure of see who is calling me at once, not after 20 seconds. I can finally take photos, hear who is calling, open apps without having to wait like 20-30 seconds.
I appreciate the effort of every developer... but at the end, the result is that out of 20-30 custom ROMs for our phone... no one can be used for daily use and being happy with it

having JellyBean running on your device in 2016 is a very very very bad idea.
Here's the issues I found with LG stock JB-4.1.2 ROM v20 euro-open. If you can live with them, then good for you.
- Bluetooth button action broken. Cannot invoke Google Search or Voice Dialer from bluetooth headsets. Fixed in custom ROM such as CM/AOSP KK and LP.
- No update for Google Maps. Version 7 is the final version for v20c. Fixed in CM/AOSP KK/LP.
- No notification from Lock Screen. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.
- No smart lock to avoid the hassle of entering PINs for known location and known BT device. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.
- No screen cast. Fixed in AOSP LP.
- No bluetooth tethering. Fixed in AOSP LP.
Actually I'm on stock now (euro 20c), and my version of Maps is 9.25.1.
But yes, you're right...I'm ok because for instance I don't use bluetooth at all.
I still miss to test "AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1 | MoltenMotherBoard"...but my question is: is smooth as the stock? Are these working ? camera, flash, barcode, dialer reader, calls in general..
thanks in advance

When I was still on LG stock JB, Maps somehow got updated. But then the device slowed to crawl and I factory reset it and I didn't get Google Play store to update it again. Glad you have it and it works for you.
Barcode and FM radio are not working. If these 2 are important to you, then you should stick with LG stock.
For UI smoothness, I think Lollipop itself has made tons of improvement that it is at least the same or better than JB. Don't take my words for it, you should try it out yourself and pass on the judgement.

i just get an loop bot, i can't install a kernel..
I have turbo unlocked with twrp working..
I'm willing to downgrade it to kitkat 4.4.4 with twrp.
Need help in downgrading rom except for the flash method in which we don't have to flash gpt.bin.
You sure you don't want to try computerfreek's tweek of the stock rom? Version 1.08 runs as fine as any stock rom. Throw in the recently ripped camera, and I can't imagine why someone would want KitKat.

You would download Kitkat Verizon firmware, flash via ADB but omit gpt.bin from the flash commands. Also if you want to keep TWRP custom recovery, you would also omit flashing recovery.img.

Go down to the bottom of that page and look for VRZ files.
This one -- VRZ_XT1254_SU2-12_12_CFC.xml.zip 1.17 GB February 25, 2015 -- was probably the last Kitkat 4.4.4 Droid Turbo file before Lollipop.

Agreed. I'm still on a custom RR Marshmallow ROM because it's rock solid, gives me CM themes, as well as Xposed modules. I am running @bhb27's advanced custom kernel again, but my wife's phone didn't like it so keeping her on regular ROM kernel. Still haven't seen the need yet to upgrade to Nougat. Plus I see a TON of complaints about phones shutting down at 20% or so, and they all seem to be on Nougat ROMs.

Well actually I already tried all of that rom currently I am using lineage Os. I don't get enough battery on computer freak 1.08 (after changing DPI).
So decided to give it a shot (kitkat) dual booting (magisk)
