I flashed juggalo_v0.08B on my alltel t-pro. Now gps is dead. Worked on every other rom I've flashed. I have always used the stock radio 1.03.16F. I love this rom for its stability and tflo performance, it is unmatchable in my opinion. I am very open to suggestions right now, or I am flashing this afternoon. And yes location setting is on.
New developement since I've had time to play. I am convinced if you are on alltel for the gps to work correctly that you need alltel nav. Is there anyway to get alltel nav working on other roms.
my gps works fine with with alltel nav, but will not work with custom roms. so i build my won from the alltel stock base
Working now with juggalo's rom. Here's what I did. Flashed Alltel stock rom again. Installed Alltel Nav. Imediately flashed Juggalo's and installed gps test. 12 satellites instantly. And before I reported anything I wanted to wait 24 hours before replying. Works beautifully now for almost 2 days. I was going to stay with the stock because gps is more important but I had to try again because tflo is so damn sluggish with alltel rom and it worked out. I truely believe gps is hit or miss with roms. So try gps as soon as you flash.
MR2 sees VZ Navigator and Google Maps if GPS Server is used. Flash PPCKitchen and GPS dies. Used all the tricks and tutorials including QPST and fix cab, nothing. Go back to MR2 and everything GPS works like above back to flash and nothing works after all the tricks again. When the QPST thing first came out I had a 6800 that worked great with a flashed ROM but wanted to use VZW Navigator so I went to MR1 and only VZW would work. Buttons stopped working and got replacement 6800 which I want to crush. Now miss my old ROM with all the things it could do and want to go back to Mobium and ditch VZW Navigator, but can't now. Is there a way out of this, or if not, a carrier and/or phone combo that just allows you to set it up to work the way you want it to? MR2 VZW does not seem to want to work with WifiRouter, making the re-flash the way to go.

This has been covered 100 times.
Flashing a custom rom from mr1 or mr2 does not allow gps to work... you need to flash back to the verizon PRE GPS rom first. Then unlock, flash the latest radio and custom rom.
I'm sure the next question will be.. where do i get the pre gps rom?

Thanks
Thanks so much as this was covered many times you were kind enough to help me out.
@samsungtweets just tweeted
for #vibrant #captivate users, that they created an APP to help optimize GPS,
Go to android Market & search GPS Restore

i am still on eclair stock updated rom..
i am sure it wont hurt trying it bro
Ive had **** gps since 2.2 and in a matter of minutes this app got me 100%...and its raining here so i only went to the window to get signal. DEF recommend trying this.
Installed this (running Bionix Final R1) and it... didn't really do anything. Locks are still incredibly iffy, happening only if I have a very clear view of the sky with absolutely no obstructions. Getting a position fix inside a building is a complete non-starter, just like before.
Thank gods I don't use the GPS much.
So far works very good, I still have to leave the location o am at to try more testing but so far so good.

thats because it only works on the SGH-T959 and SGH-I897, does not work on a GT-I9000, since Macnut R12 has the model number as GT-I9000 it wont work on that either.
We can also extract the apk and get what's inside to take a look into what is beeing done. Please provide an APK
Here you go
I noticed something with this app. In GPS test it can only see me at 20~30 BUT the lbs test says 5~10. Weird, anyways I will post a pic of my locks when I get a chance. So far it locks on spot on and its really accurate.
*edit* Works with my Axura froyo rom!!!!
*edit again* I will also compare the before and after with my friends phone.

ok, best lock so far.
that said, after first run, it finished and put me about 100miles off.
but after reboot i ran "gps test" for 5 mins, and it found 1 more sat, total now at 13, using 9-11.
then opened up maps again and got a lock right on accurate to 5m, gps test says 15ft.
thats the best lock ive ever had on the sam-vib...sweet, tx for the heads up!!
i bought a vibrant during summer when it just came out and did proper research so i could use it in canada with wind. (smartphone+cheap plans)
i have the ji6 but not able to find the new GPS Restore App in the market. phone is unlocked.
Does anyone know why?

The app is for U.S. vibrant and captivates only, but in my OP I uploaded it for people outside the US.
tried this and did nothing for me... Obsidian V5 rom.
Not sure if its the rom or what, but my gps used to work on the stock tmobile rom. and seem to get worse over time lol.
Update: nevermind, i just flashed back to the rooted stock rom amd gps is working correctly..i guess i'm done with custom roms..they don't work as well as stock =).
Hey guys, I am currently running the black star xi rom. I'm having trouble getting my gps to lock. I have used the tools available in the system setting to install the att gps config and stock gps config, but both of those don't lock the gps when i running navigation. So, im unable to get voice navigation going. I would have posted this on the black star xi thread...but i don't meet the 10 posts requirement to post there.

Haven't had any issues with really anything but the new camera not showing on SOA build 3. I was on Padawan v8 which was a really stable and nice and fast rom. No GPS issues ever and do not seem to have any on this new rom I just installed yesterday. Hopefully the official JB will be out soon we'll see.
For some reason none of the AOSP or AOKP ROMs (which sadly is a majority of them) work very well for the Note GPS. The only ROMs I have found with good GPS support for the NOTE have been either Stock ROMs or custom ROMs which were derived from a Stock ROM.

Good to know. Which is why I guess Padawan v8 was so stable for me. Thanks for that info.

Honestly it kills me too. I LOVE the new features on ROMs like JellyBeer and other CyanogenMod types, but I'm a nerd and use GPS everyday, and it keeps pushing me back to the other ROMs for the GPS performance.

I understand that. Probably fixing to switch back to Padawan v8 if I cannot get the new camera options to work properly in SOA build 3.
Well idk if i should ask here or put a new thread sorry im such a noob! But i have the same problem but with ebery singls rom at this point! Even stock.

Maybe start by reposting your issue so others can understand it. If I understand what you wrote, you have the same problem but your navigation apps locate you easily. And that doesn't make sense. Are you trying your GPS outside??
Srry i type fast n misspelle loll (idk how to spell misspelle) okay so wat i meant was that the only app that just keeps sayin "searchin for gps" is the navigation app. The maps app pinpoints my location easily as dies fb n any other app requesting my location. Ive tried every fix i could find on the web and nothing has worked for me! Ive seen fixes with flashing a stock gb radio it didnt work. The gps test app fix didnt work. Ive flashed countless roms from gb to jb n still same issue. N yes im outside ive even been on the roof! (seriously ive been up there am terrified of heiqhts n was stuck for hours didnt think it throuqh lol) thnx for any help.

So I finally got it to work I actually just pryed up the antennas a little bit just so that they would make contact with a top antennas as well I just thought I'd let you guys know in case you guys ever came across this problem as well thanks for all your help!
「¡sent from my phone cuz its better than my computer!」
I've tried 8 different roms, different kernels, searched "the google" and as much of these forums as I could... My GPS on my t0lte (vzw Note II) will not receive any satellites.
I humbly ask, tail between my legs, what must i do to get my GPS working on my note II again? :crying:
