PACMAN ROM 20.1.0 & GPS Issues on Note II - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey everybody,
First off, what an amazing community. I've learned so much and it's become really easy and fun to enhance my Android experience.
I have a Verizon Note II and decided to flash PACMAN ROM because of it's multiple interesting enhancements based on CM10.
Everything works amazingly well, except GPS just will not lock while "Wi-Fi & Mobile network location" (WF&MNL) is enabled in the "Location Settings" section.
When WF&MNL is enabled, (along with GPS of course), I cannot get a lock no matter how long I leave the device searching. When I launch any of the GPS status applications loaded from the play store, the satellites never show up at all, no signal bars, no activity, let alone do I get a lock. It's like it won't even try.
When I disable WF&MNL and try again, the satellites show up in seconds and I have a lock shortly thereafter. I can then re-enable WF&MNL setting and it will work until I reboot, and I've also seen it stop working when I try to run another GPS app later in the day.
So, for anybody who needs a workaround until you find your individual solution, or until a fix is released . . . I offer that up.
The problem is Google Now relies on WF&MNL, as do other applications/services, so that is not really an option to leave it off . . . all in all, the pro's outweigh the cons for this ROM and I love everything about it!!
Here is what have done so far to troubleshoot:
Restored my factory backup which was taken in TWRP immediately after the bootloader unlock and root - No issues there. GPS works.
Wiped Cache/Dalvik/System and installed CleanROM - No issues there, GPS works.
Wiped Cache/Dalvik/System and installed three different versions of PACMAN in this order 20.0.0, 20.0.1, and 20.1.0 - Didn't help
Tried installing different versions of GAPPS with each of the PACMAN ROMS (latest as well as the one linked in the OP) - Didn't help
Re-flashed the VRALL4 modem based on some suggestions - Didn't help
Inserted a modified GPS.conf file based on some suggestions - Didn't help
Tried to flash a GPS fix from another thread (sorry I can't find the thread to save my life at the moment, it was one with a "generic google" fix since the GNII wasn't on the list) - Didn't help
Restored my post root factory backup again and did not wipe cache/dalvik/system when flashing PACMAN - Didn't help
I read some threads about going back to factory and then rooting/flashing clean all over again. I would have gone that route, but other ROM's work with both location options enabled, so I'm not sure where to look next. I've searched the forums high and low and haven't gotten anywhere with the suggestions.
EDIT: I should have probably posted this in the questions section, I went to general when I was denied access to post in another thread I was following. Sorry for the noob mistake.

Its a problem with the cm based roms or aosp 4.2.2 i just leave wifi and network unchecked and if apps ask or watever i deny it and it works fine im on cm 10.1 and use my gps daily without issues i dont even notice a problem

I have installed PAC version 21.0.1 and GPS is not working at all. the icon doesn't even appear, nothing to lock on. my Baseband version is 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M.
Anyone has an idea on what to change? (except switcging to another ROM)

Get a lock in another rom then immediately restore your backup of pacman while it's still locked

[Q] GPS don't get fix

Hello to all,
I've been looking on this forum, searched for everything I wanted, and always get an answer, but this time I need to ask some experts here. As the title says the gps don;t want to get fix even on clear sky and without any building around. I used many programs one of it is "gps status" where are shown 0/11 fix, basicaly there are 11 satelites available I believe. I have tried almost all the roms available in the development section but none of them worked, even the cm7. Used another firmware and there is fix to this. If I use the original samsung rom untouched the gps is working normaly. Please let me know what I doing wrong?
Thanks,

try fasterfix from the market.maybe it would help
Well for some reason my gps is working now, what I've done is flashing with odin a multiple file (my chose was a froyo firmware) the I flash with odin the latest ks9 one package file, working great even with cm7.2, got fix in 19 sec for me is great (also using the gps config from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626
Thanks
Guys before you change the base band and all try Faster fix from the market.. worked for me.. now the gps gets locked in few seconds.. really useful app.. and also I recommend maps v5.8.. most of the time other versions gave me force closes when using navigation.. Hope this helps..
my gps always shoes "your current location is temporarily unavailable"

[Q] AOKP no signal problems.

Hello, I have tried the Resurrection Remix and the Dragon ICS AOKP roms and both have the same problem in my phone, they seem to work fine but suddenly my carrier's signal get lost and I have to reboot my device to make it work again.
Is it just me or is a general AOKP bug? Can it be fixed if so how? I couldn't find any fixes...
I really love these ROMs the are very customizable and all but I wish they don't have this signal drops
Thank you in advanced

Just a suggestion: Try to flash another modem.
Here you can find some modem files => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Any in particula?
Do I have to try every Modem or which one is the best?
I live in Mexico, btw.
Thank you, again.
Gapps Upgrade [Solved]
I noticed that when you use the gapps given when flashing the AOKP build ## you don't get all the apps you would regularly get... Such as the google apps. (play store, google play, google movies, etc.) What's missing is those apps and some app within it.. i don't really know, but upgraded to this one "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130308" from paranoid android (the rom I was previously using) and i gained my signal back. Just go into recovery mode and flash it, delete cache/dalvik cache (to be safe) and reboot system and your signals should come back, Along with setting up your phone again. NOTHING should be erased from previous settings.
That's what I did and I'm not responsible if anything happens to your own device. I didn't run into trouble, so i would think that nothing should happen to you.

Help installing CM10 JB ROM

Hi, I just recently came back to this forum, pleased to find that we now have CM10 working on Amaze ! (Thank you sportsstar!)
However I did have a couple issues when installing, and seeing as how a lot of people in the CM10 thread asked to redirect questions here, I figured I make a thread.
My problem is that it seems as though no matter what I install, there is always a problem. As far as I know, I am using the basic ICS-Ruby kernel that was dumped 6+ months ago. I installed the CM10 rom using 4EXT, with no issues.
However when I installed the Gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed) I constantly had the Android keyboard force close on me. So instead I tried to install the JB-4.2-Gapps-signed. With these, the Android keyboard would not force close but the Google Now search app would force close everytime.
I've also tried installing the DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM by jose, but then the wifi would not turn on. (When I would try to turn it on, it would just hang saying "Turning on Wifi").
It is probably worth mentioning that I did do a full wipe everytime I installed the CM10 rom. I was sure to be very thorough. When I installed DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM, again, I did a full format of partiitions, and a wipe. Still the issues above arise.
Can someone maybe help me out as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I just looked at my phone info, and apparently the kernel I'm using is 3.0.53-gd28c6eb. Is this okay or do I need to flash a new kernel ?

[Q] CM 11 - 3G/Mobile Data not working

Hi All
Some major help is required; I have flashed CM 11 - cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-i9300.zip and Gapps onto my Galaxy S3 without any issues, however I cannot use my mobile data/3G for whatever reason. Initially it was telling me to ensure date/time settings were correct, which they are because it's on automatic settings, however I can't figure out what the problem is. I have since flashed back to an earlier Snapshot to see if this would make any difference, which it hasn't.
Any ideas?
Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
It could be any number of things, flash the correct stock firmware for your country with odin to test.
I have got mobile date gprs working. However 3g is not working. I also have rooted and custom rom. (Country Pakistan). Please suggest solution.
Guys is there any patches/solutions for this - this is a pretty big issue that I'm surprised to see doesn't seem to have been addressed much.
I flashed CM 11 - Snapshot-M5-i9300 and Gapps, but the mobile/network data still doesn't work. Is there any Radio files or anything I would need to flash?
EDIT:
I've fixed it! For some bizarre reason it seems when flashing any custom rom, you would need to manually set up the roaming/data settings that your mobile network can provide you. I simply fixed this by going into Mobile Networs > Access Point Names, selecting my mobile network (02) and amending the settings, rebooted my phone and voila 3G full works!!

GPS Bug
Is the GPS still restarting the phone on this build?

Check the replies in the development build. T399 has to download an app specified in the development but people with the T399N seem to have no problems with v23.

The developer Acreaperjb needed people to test the ROM and kireflow seems to have the SGH-T399N while he is meant to develop it for the SGH-T399. Is he now making a hybrid build for both models?

wow
Had the lightwave rom on this before, and it worked well. After a few hrs of running cm i am blown away at the performance. Buttery smooth. Calls crisp, no issues whatsoever aside from the camera. Got xposed on it, gravitybox and greenify working great so far
And just thought I'd try it with the Camera MX from playstore and voila, it works! One picture at least
Bluetooth freezes calling app
Hi everyone, first of all, big thanks to AcreaperJB
I just installed version 0.2.3, overall I really like the ROM, I have two issues with it, really it's just one that I care about, here I go
1 - the big deal) I can't make calls over Bluetooth, after dialing I hear maybe one signal, maybe two if I'm lucky, after that the calling apps freezes, can't finish the call, can't call anybody else, can't hear anything, even turning off Bluetooth won't restore things, I can switch between apps and everything is fine except the calling app it's just stuck until I restart the phone, no more calling basically
2 - the workaround) camera will crash right after taking the photo, won't save the photo, I installed open camera from the play store and it works fine, I know it's a known issue, I just want to confirm it
Things to mention
- I did full install, all the partitions got wiped except the external SD card partition where I kept the ROM
- installation was scary, after installing the ROM it would circle back and forth, it was restarting and it wouldn't let me do anything, as soon as it got to CM wizard it restarted, I had no way to stop it or pause it so after about 10 restarts I gave up and just moved on and left the phone do restarts and I took care of other things around the house, already started thinking on how to go back to the stock rom, after coming back to the phone about two hours later the CM was waiting for me, got so surprised that it got out of the endless loop, i finished the wizard, went into CM and it doesn't restart anymore
thanks again

Hey, does anyone know of a fix for the YouTube app? It keeps saying 'an error has occurred touch to retry'
SIM Card not detected?
So I clean installed the dirty v.0.2.3 and when it went to setup it said my sim card wasn't detected. Did I miss something? Does the "dirty" mean I won't get data? I'm new to this and I don't really know what the lingo means. I also can't change the APN's. It says "Access point name not available for this user".
I can't make any phone calls nor send any texts. My cellular data doesn't work either. Wi-fi and everything else works fine. Just the actual service.
Am I missing a step?
I flashed the ROM with twrp 2.8.4.0, I wiped davlick, data, cache, etc. I did the clean install, I don't understand why I am not getting any service or why my sim card isn't detected.
Please help
I need another link to download
Hi everyone
So my problem is for some reason here in Cuba I can enter to www.androidfilehost.com and download (Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 I dont know why but if anyone can please reupload the file to another server like MEGA or mediafire I have the Galaxy Light and I like to help to test the build and make some comments about.

Screen going blank upon boot
I tried installing this rom after doing a full backup & then wipe. I made sure to wipe dalvik and cache. I then installed the 0.2.3.zip via TWRP 2.7.1.0 that comes with Light V3 Rom.
Install completed without error but upon boot the setup menu appears and then vanishes. I can get it to display ever-so-briefly by powering the display off/on.
I have a T-Mobile T399 unlocked for use on ATT. Unjustified Devs earlier builds did the same thing but would constantly reboot as well. Your rom doesn't reboot but the screen behaves similarly.
Have you heard of this behavior before, and are there any steps I can take to provide you with diagnostic information?

Try flashing a T-Mobile radio. Just Google it and it should come up.

Answer: CM12-Light BETA for t399n camara workaround.
I have installed cm12 for the Samsung galaxy light t399N.. I am happy to report Everything is working fine! except the stock camera, I tried 7-8 camera apps on the Google play store with no luck, until.... VIOLA, I found one that works. It is called FOTOR. it works now. I have an extra step to deal with but the point is that my phone is now fully functional and running 5.02 lollipop on my METRO PCS t399n. BTW i did not have to edit the apn settings; interestingly, I have an indicator that tells me I have T-Mobil for my carrier.... Thank goodness for the recent merger and switch over to the T-Mobil network, one more problem solved. Hope that helps someone else out there.
thanks

Reboot cycle
After installing V0.2.3 using TWRP 2.8.4.0 on a T399 on a T-mo network I am stuck in a continuous cycle of rebooting every few seconds. I have tried reinstalling starting from a stock image and wiping the cache, data, and dalvik. Any idea what I could be messing up?
