GPS problems are a known issue with Jester's new rom (at least for some users). Quick tip: it worked for me when I had the sense bar and settings. It stopped working for me when I flashed his aosp patch. So you can try a clean wipe and install, update to .15, and not flash the aosp patch. That should get it working for you.

MMS

Hey guys,
I've been on numerous gingerbread ROMS CM7,Gingeritis,BAMF,Liquids DroidTh3orys(yes I have a flashing addiction problem)and I can't get MMS to work on any of them. I either get "service unavailable" or "invalid destination". I've tried GOSMS and Handcent along with the stock messenger.
While on CM7 I tried installing ROM then gapps and that didn't work. I always do a full wipe and system format before a fresh ROM install. I've always been on the MR2 radio or like now I'm on the 627r.It seems that about 80% of you are'nt having issues with MMS issues. Any workarounds or suggestions you guys can shoot at me would be appreciated. I've got a 2yr old boy and the friends and family back home are always askin for pics.
At the moment I'm running Gingeritis 1.1 with imo 3.3.4gb kernel. THANKS!

What I meant about CM7 was I installed ROM then rebooted then installed gapps.

Did you flash back to stock and see if it works? May not be a phone problem, but VZW blocking? Just a guess...
Hey vel....MMS did work before I rooted and started messing with ROMS. Thanx for the suggestion tho.

[Q] SHIFTAO5P HACK3D V IC3.2.1 Anyone?

how do i flash SHIFTAO5P HACK3D V IC3.2.1

INFORMATION: READ THIS!!!!
NO MATTER WHAT ROM YOU ARE COMING FROM... ENABLE A GPS LOCK PRIOR TO FLASHING!!
can someone help me on the steps on how to flash this rom
THANKS!!!
oh and do i have to flash a radio, and how do i do that?
What this means is flash a sense based Rom. Open up Google Maps and verify your position on the map. Once it locks on, use Rom Manager to flash the new Rom.

There is a GPS fix that a guy is needing help testing out in the Developer Forum here. Look for it. It only has like 5 replies with me being 3 of them. I haven't had a chance to look at it much. But his GPS fix can be applied to any ROM and added a few more satellites to get you better positioning.

This indicates it's not the ROM, it's something with either Netflix or JB (or both). It happened to me yesterday for the first time as well, I just had to seek back and forth a couple of times for it to get going again, and I am on MeanBean, but that's likely just coincidence.
It's likely a Netflix problem, it's happened to me on mobile and set top on a few movies and shows
I'm not on the latest but it plays fine on my meanbean version

I605VRALL4 Multi-view?

I am running the VRALL4 Stock Rooted and De-Odex'ed rom from Scrosler. So far, its a great rom, I haven't really had any problems with it. Except I cannot figure out how to enable all apps in multi-view with a De-Odex'ed rom. I absolutely love this feature and would really like to get it back. Is there any way to do that on this rom? Or am I going to be forced into a different rom?
I dont think that rom have that mod. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028535 some people said it works after the ota.

Look in your app drawer for 'MCW'. I believe that's what it is called. Blue circle icon.

I tried this. It seems that because the rom is De-odex'ed, this doesnt work. There is nothing to replace when I copy the files to their appropriate folders because all .odex files have been removed.
@1ManWolfePack
I did not find this app installed on the rom. I went and found it here on XDA. I tried installing just the app, it seems to function however, the apps in the multi-view bar are not changed at all. I also tried flashing the framework files..... that resulted in a bootloop and I had to restore to before I flashed the framework file.
Thank you guys for helping me! Any other suggestions that I could try?
Check cleanrom verizon edition. Im running it and it have the multi view mod. It works perfect on my device.

Sorry about the boot loop. This will give you that app and unlock the multi view tab, but you'll be transparent:

Dirty flash your rom afterwards to lose the transparency but retain features. I believe that's how I did it. Lol.

Mmmmm.... so far, that doesn't seem to work either. Crashes the flashbar service every time I try to open it. But I don't have much time to play with it right this second. I will give it another shot later, and if it doesn't work... idk, ill probably go and flash beans rom or clean rom.
Weird. I thought you were already on CleanROM?

Thanks. Yeah, still not sure why the multi Window mod didn't work. Transparent one.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, got really busy.
I played around with the transparent mod again, still nothing. It just keeps crashing the flashbar service every time I try and open it. I guess I'm going to just either flash Beans or Clean rom or go back to stock and start all over. Thanks for your help guys!
CleanRom Lite 1.0 for Verizon is great. Has MWC and LiDroid toggle. Perfect. Even the gps is like OEM. Had issues with the ACE version.

Hhmmm. Tried ACE and its just been a pain (text messaging doesn't work too well). Downloading CleanRom Lite 1.0 now. How come VZW-SE 1.0 isn't available anymore? Is he actually going to update it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073390

Look in Scott's "Recently Archived Builds" link on his website. You can get the 1.0 SE there. Doubt there is further support since he archived it but really... anything that is missing in the Vzw 1.0 light can be found elsewhere. At least this way you have an option to have it or not.
Also, that is the LJB build, the new one is based of the new OTA, LL4, and new bootloader. I have the new bootloader and won't trust mixing the two.

Beans 19 should have gps working 100% of the time but when u flashed the fix it might have screwed something up so reflashing should put the gps settings back to normal. Other fixes I know only works for international based tw roms or aosp.

I don't think there is one... on any international ROM there is NOTHING that'll get my GPS to work... I've tried absolutely every fix.
The fix that appears to work for many other users when unable to get a fix has been to:
reboot recovery
make a nandroid backup
wipe EVERYTHING
flash a stock ROM (or ROM with known working GPS anyways)
boot up and get a GPS lock
reboot recovery
restore first nandroid.
In your case I would think that just re-flashing (dirty) Beans should be enough.
