Did GPS work perfectly fine before you flashed the rom? I haven't read anything about it not working with that rom. I would try a different rom and see if that solves your problem. If it does work on a different rom then notify the developer in his QA section. If you still have GPS problems on different roms then there's a fix involving adjusting the internal antenna here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727

[Q] Having Clean Rom lock screen issues

Need some help. Everytime I flash the clean rom on my evo 3d my lock screen wont display the weather or my widgets, I cant figure it out. And it does it even before I recover any of my settings with titanium. I really like this rom and I want to use it, HELP! Thanks in advance =)
No one? I mean I know I'm new hear but noobs need help too xD
What ROM is the clean ROM? The Stock Rooted OTA 2.08.651.2 one?
Edit: I'm a retard, thats the name of the ROM. Hold on.
Edit: Are you using the beta or the normal rom? Also, do you have any mods?
sorry this took a while, i kinda gave up cuz i didnt think anyone was gonna reply No everything is just whats in the download, I use custom kernels to oc but ive used the rom both with and without, same problem. Also because Im a noob I cant message the dev who made it. Lose lose lose haha
Same here
I am having the same problem. I've tried the standard Dalvik and cache partition wipe, to no avail. Anyone resolve this?
*Edit*
I found the fix. It is here.

[Q] Flashed CM7 (with TWRP) No GSM and not detecting SIM Card

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 <-- Where i downloaded CM7
- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!

Read the entire guide, step by step!!!... Anyway it is pretty straightforward
BTW, remember to first install lg drivers on your pc... connect the phone via usb and disable LGE Virtual Modem drivers from device manager on windows,, --> this is extremely important to succeed!
My phone is ok again TakamineSubasa! i just needed an opinion on which ROM should i flash! I've done that guide and it went well! (for the 2.3.3 version! i think i messed up and used P500-v20G-baseband for CM7 [wrong one] and should have used P500-v10E-baseband). But ofc a stable ROM that doesnt have GSM problems :s
btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?
Thank you very much for the help!

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!
Thanks for all the help!
Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Awesome news! i decided to flash CM7 again! Did the tutorial terratrix provided right after i flashed it and GSM is working perfectly! (just dont know why i had to import my contacts to the phone! Aparentely CM7 doesnt read contacts that are in the SIM card! No biggie!)
Thank you so much for every help you provided guys!

Lost capabilities after Wipe Internal Storage

Hi guys..
Two days ago, I made a wipe of the internal storage of my Galaxy 2. I don't know why after it, I lost a pone capabilities like, listen my phone calls. Actually, the phone is working as well as I like but, when I try to make any phone call, no sound on it.
Before the wipe, no problema was reported. It's not the first time I made a wipe. Ocasionally, I practice it to help the phone to work soft.
I don;t know if have to visit a technical support to check the internal parts like soung buttons controls or internal speaker.
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance for any help.
Is it able to play any kind of sound from its speaker ?
If it can then the speaker is all right
You can try reflashing the ROM.

Because you were hellraising, remember that the 9100 Samsung roms will flash one of their modems in place of whatever you had installed, so you'll need to flash one of our modems after you've flashed the ported Sammy rom. So it makes sense that ShoStock would have fixed that.
The AOSP roms won't replace the modem.
Don't know if that was your problem, but there it is.

No ROM would work properly on my Atrix

Hello there,
I tried almost every ROM out there, it flashes okay, when they start, I either have screen tearing, or keyboard ain't working or WIFI.
Even the ROM I used before which worked fine isn't working now.
The only ROM that worked is the leaked ICS ROM and the WIFI didn't work.
Tried another SD card still the same!
Help is very appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Why do you insist on running experimental ROMs?
Look for a stable ROM and use that.
Also next time read before you flash/ask.
Well, I've tried many ROMs and I still didn't get the result other people did!
And be sure I've tried everything and did reading for quite too long (I have this problem for over a week now) and now since I can't figure the solution out I'm running to those whose better at this stuff!
And the reason for going after 4.0+ is that ginger bread can't read Arabic properly!
I am not Ignorant nor dumb!
Thanks anyways

Thats was the main reason motorola gave up on updating atrix, too many differences across boards.
Have you tried the alternate kernels that people had posting all over the forums?
If so, and with no luck, then you fall into the worst minority, the one that simply can't run anything beyond leaked ICS.
Sorry, but it seems to be like that.

I've tried the one epinter posted for screen tearing! The latest! Didn't work for me!
I've looked for other one but no luck finding one :/
But why a ROM that worked before when I flash it the keyboard keeps crashing?! Its just weird!
Thank you my friend.
you probably arent wiping everything.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe Dalvik cache (in advanced folder of CWM recovery, DO THIS)
flash epinter's rom. I use it as a daily driver and it is fantastic though im used to not having a working camera.
Flash is the only one that isn't working!

[Q] Mobile data not working on 4.4.4 ROMs

FIX HAS BEEN FOUND: Delete all APNs, add a new one, only input "name" and "APN" fields, and reboot.
Help, I have this annoying problem. Mobile data is not working on any ROM which is based on Android 4.4.4.
It works fine on ROMs using 4.4.2, and it works fine on Stock (which was 4.1.2 or something?).
I have tried several 4.4.4 roms: Official Cyanogenmod. Ehndroix V. NeatROM. SpiritROM. SlimSaber.
I checked and reset APN settings and everything looked normal. Googling the problem there are some others with the same problem, but I have not found any solution.
Currently running Resurrection Remix which is 4.4.2, but it seems like all 4.4.2 ROMs are unstable on my I9100 phone so I would really like a 4.4.4 ROM, which worked perfectly except for this issue.
This is caused by the incompatibility between the modem and the ril(that's included by the rom). Flash a new modem and see if this fixes your problems.
Thanks, that makes sense I guess.... But uuh, it looks very complicated, with tons of different modems available... Do you have any recommendations? I am in Denmark if that makes any difference.
Update: I have now tried almost all of the recommended modems in this thread, plus a few others. No luck... Anyone have any good ideas?

That's weird. I don't know any workarounds. I guess you could stick with the last working version of android then, (probably 4.4.4 android code broke compatibility with your apn).
Okay, I tried with a few more radios... Then I tried installing the app GetRIL which is supposed to automatically find and install the best radio available.... Didn't work, my baseband disappeared and then I installed a SII fixer app, but it all got ****ed up.... And now I flashed a 4.4.2 ROM back and everything works again.
I wonder why, but I'll just stick to that.
Until a Android 5 ROM is ready.
Case closed.

Well you did a common noob mistake regarding to rils. NEVER use getril as it falsely reports mismatching rils and installs the wrong ril anyway. We got a few months to go until an official release

I'd wish you didn't say I did a "noob" mistake as I did everything I could before trying getrils, including properly and manually changing modems.
Anyways now I have tried with two Android 5 ROMS (Cyanogenmod 12 and Resurrection Remix), and it's the exact same story... So for fun I tried to see if there was any 4.4.3 ROMS in existence, which there is. I found one called Techfusion+, where data also works. So it is something in 4.4.4 that messes my phone up.
Update:
I have now upgraded to a Galaxy S3 (I9300), and guess what, it's got the same problem, except this time 4.4.4 ROMS works fine, but still no mobile data on Lollipop.
Maybe it's my sim card??

I had similar problems on my I9100 - also in Denmark - and found that the problem disappears when I remove *all* access point configurations, and then add a single access point, with only "name" and "APN"/"Adgangspunkt" changed from default. Name=tdc and Adgangspunkt=internet. Then suddenly mobile data connects.
I hope this also works for you.
Best regards

YES!!! That did it!! Deleted all APNs, added a new one and only input the name and apn fields. Rebooted, and it connected! Thank you! Jeg elsker dig! Hold da kæft, if I ever meet you I'll buy you a beer!
... now, does anyone know of a lollipop ROM where they removed the stupid "swipe to unlock" bull****?
