I was briefly running the EOS rom, but I really wanted the pacman rom. I tried the pacman rom last night, but got no network connection at all, no calls or texts. So I decided to try the pacman rom again. I wiped installed the rom from the forum, the gapps, and the speed zip from the forum. It booted up, but in the setup, it passed by the wireless the google e-mail screens. But to my confused mind. The phone had call text & internet, but the shocker is it had my exact setup from the EOS rom with all apps and passwords. It was like I pressed a button and kept the setup I have grown to love.
Side note. Is anyone else using the PACman rom. It is amazing.
You 100% sure you didn't log into your email when it popped up? Your wifi passwords are stored on the cloud, so wifi would reconnect at your saved locations. If you didn't only thing I can think of is you didn't perform a full wipe. Also I agree PACMAN is amazing

Hey people need your help in regards to an internet/phone issue which has me stumped.
Ive recently flashed a couple of ROMs just to see what they were like and since then have had issues in regards to not being able to connect to the web...well not being able to 99% of the time.
(This is where i need a Jedi MAster)
Ive flashed about 30 ROMs onto my SII with no problems as of today!
Ok first, the two ROMS i flashed were Rarity and then Turkbeyv's, did full factory reset on both, wiped all data from cache and Dalvik and then formatted memory card just to be sure.
I then went back to Criskelo's v30 then updated to v31 as it was uploaded and i thought this may rectify the problems ive been having.
Disc: THIS IS BY NO MEANS ME BLAMING THE MENTIONED ROMS FOR THE ISSUES IM HAVING,ALL OF WHICH I THOUGHT WERE OUTSTANDING,i just cant help but be a Flashing addict lol
PLEASE REFER TO INCLUDED PIC:
A - cant seem to clear this battery image,informing of full charge,battery percentages always stay high on top right indicator then suddenly drops to low percentage.
B - Am showing HSDPA but unable to connect to the web using default browser, firefox although can conect using Dophin HD, first time i managed a connection via Dolphin which again is probably once in 10 times of trying, when i managed a connection it was pittifully slow,worse than EDGE (yes im that old).
I knew i had a problem with the connection when tryin to log into my google account,using the other mentioned ROMs, it just wont let me, unless im using WIFI.
All web based apps from Facebook, Google and the Market simply wont connect to the server,as for all other connected apps the ou come is the same...
C - The other issue i have is apps appearing and then disapearing or saying uninstalled.
Having finally managing a connection using Dolphin HD i noticed an icon had been placed on my homescreen?
also having problems with contacts, ive been using AContacts from the market and when i use the default contact app, they both force close stating "android.process.acore" error, any ideas?
SOooo these are my issues people, thanks in advance for any help given, please note that im not a coder but can follow step by step instructions if given.
I hope to hear from you all shortly

I am aware that the touchpad has wifi issues, but really at this point I am clueless.
Let me tell you, I was on CM9 with no mod's (e.g. rohan's) I had this app called WiFi fixer which "FIXED" from time to time. Me being curious about cornerstone I decided to try it, oh and WiFi wasn't really that buggy for me on this CM9.
I flashed the CM9 with cornerstone, and I got in a bootloop (ugh!) I forgot to do a backup (UGH!). Okay! Most stuff is in my download folder and I can use my phone's TB to get most of my app's back. I wiped all my stuff and reflashed, and here comes the problem. My WiFi never wants to turn on again. I tried rohan's mod, the new wifi driver (forgot it's name). With or without cornerstone. (latest CM9 nightly). I did found my router for a moment yesterday but it disappeared rather quickly when I manged to try to login to my google account.
In short, my WiFi is really buggy and doesn't want to turn on. Any advice someone?
BTW, WebOS works fine with WiFi
To begin I love this ROM, it removes all the bloat and looks great; I just have a few problems I can't seem to resolve.
1. When I first set up my google account I managed to sync my gmail, contacts, etc. just fine to the phone. However when I tried to use either Google Plus or Google Now I was receiving both connection errors or security errors (Couldn't sign in - A problem occurred while communicating with Google Servers.). I managed to solve the latter by removing the network time synchronization options, however the connection problem persists. If I leave these options disabled all of my google apps cease to function so I've re-enabled them. Note at no point in time did my data stop working, I can browse the net just fine on the phone.
I have noticed that someone did post about similar issues in the main thread for the rom, however I was unable to find the solution they used to solve the problem. I would appreciate any help that could be provided.
If it is of any help I did attempt to flash Speed Rom, and it doesn't have these issues, so it leads me to believe it is some sort of configuration error.
2. GPS doesn't appear to be getting a lock. I'm indoors so this may be the reason for it not working, however the icon shows that it has gathered a lock, but my accuracy remains at 30 meters. I will test this further when I am out and about tomorrow to see if it works any better.
1. This problem came from Google server that has been widely reported on other forums as well. Honestly I don't know how to fixed it but I would recommend you try to re-flash the rom. Perhaps the data were save while Google server acted up and hence it saved to your phone. I personally turn-off the Google Now since it consumed too much battery though.
2. GPS: Download GPS Status & Toolbox or Faster Fix to get the right regional for your location. read the description when downloading those app since they may required Busybox installed
In order for GPS fast and accurate locked, sometime you need to turn-on Google Location service
Good luck
First and foremost, thank you for your response.
I did as you suggested and re-installed the rom. This time before doing anything else I enabled only my wifi and attempted to add an account right away.
System Settings > Accounts & sync > ADD ACCOUNT
Doing this left me with the following message:
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Note this is over wifi not 3G. I have tried a few times to re-flash this rom and that doesn't seem to help. Any other idea's?
Did you, by any chance, turn-on data in setting>mobile data ?
This last time I didn't. Since I was using wifi I figured I wouldn't need to turn on my data?

Doesn't hurt to try my friend
By turning on 3G I have managed to log into my account and have it sync. However I am still getting a "Sign-in error".
Also the browser was unable to sync so I've disabled that. Now when I launch Google Plus I get the following:
"No connection
Couldn't connect to the server."
And with Google Now I'm getting
"Network error..."
Had this problem earlier too. It happened to me because I didn't do a data wipe when upgrading from Craigtuts earlier rom. HTH

Just a quick update, I have managed to get this ROM working.
There was suggestion in the original thread, by Ninjistix, for this ROM suggesting the installation of SpeedROM 7.8. Once installed go ahead and log into your google account, then flash this ROM by "formatting" / "wiping" everything except data. THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME.
Out of desperation, I decided to restore my backed up STOCK rom. After doing so I, I logged into my google account and found that everything was working, no sign-in errors from anything at all. So I wiped everything EXCEPT data, flashed this rom and its been working perfectly since.
I'd like to thank Ninjistix for inspiring my fix and craigtut for making such a beautiful rom. Hopefully one of these two methods works for everyone else trying to flash this ROM.

thanks for the shout out, i was just coming here to direct you to one of my other post's related to that annoying sign-in error, we still haven't figured out the main reason behind it yet, but i as long as we have the work around of keeping the (user) data then i guess "all's well that ends well"
History:
I've been lurking in the shadows commiserating with those experiencing these issues with sms and mms after recent flashing. I'm in AZ, have been dealing with these problems for the past month or so.
Like others posting before, flashing to the stock rooted 4.4 Ota rom restored everything to normal, but trying to go back to gummy rom or Viper jacked everything up. I would be able to receive one or two sms, one of two mms, and then nothing else until I wiped cache and rebooted. This actually only worked intermittently, sometimes bringing on the recurring multiple previous delivered message issue. I had accepted my fate, my DNA forever doomed to a stock rom, but was experiencing the horrible sensitivity issue with the capacitive buttons (gag).
Anyway, I gave it one last ditch effort to try to fix the text problem (and ditch the stock rom and the button sensitivity crap) and seem to have stumbled upon something that actually has worked for me. I'm freaked that one small mistake could throw me back into the text problems, but for now, I'm running a fully functional Viper 4.1 without any of the aforementioned issues. If there are those out there still looking for a fix (and not a new phone, like I was considering for a while) let me know with a post in this thread and i'll do my best to explain what I did and why. I am a long time user and have no technical explanation for why it worked, but it did.
My rationale (flawed or not) was to try to get the "lock" from vzw that allows text messages to be sent from the stock rom and transfer it to a custom rom. I figured that possibly when a phone is activated or new rom flashed or when caches are wiped, possibly the custom rom information is sent at that time to vzw and they then activate the cripple on messaging. SO, I did the following to try to get around that possibility:
0. Pull sim card
1. full wipe (cache, davlik, system) and flash of the stock rom
a. reboot system
2. First boot of Stock Rom: skip all adding of accounts, wifi etc.
3. reboot to system
4. after system completely booted, add sim card
5. test sms, mms, group messaging (thereby acquiring "lock" or permission from vzw to text)
a. I sent a ton. just to confirm all was working well. my wifes phone now has a billion random texts from me. i also opened up a text plus account (app on play) to allow testing of sent and received sms.
6. reboot to system
7. test again
a. after testing confirmed, reboot to recovery and PULL sim card
8. DO NOT WIPE CACHE OR DAVLIK OR ANYTHING and install custom rom (Viper for me:highfive
9. after flash in recovery, DO NOT WIPE
10. First boot to custom rom: skip all adding of accounts, wifi etc.
a. system will be wonky, possibly not even boot due to lack of wipe. i may have been able to get away with this because i flashed from sense rom to sense rom. I've not tested this with any cm-based roms, only viper 4.1.0
b. as before skip all adding of accounts or wifi (NO CONNECTION WITH vzw during initial boot - this could be KEY)
c. REBOOT TO SYSTEM, and add sim card
11. test sms, mms, group messaging
a. i was beyond stoked to see that messaging worked. still does work. confirmed with multiple (over the last 24 hours now) sms, mms, group messaging.
b. my keyboard was totally non-functional and it only gave me option to type with voice or send emojii (used google hangouts for all my testing)
c. despite function of messaging, the whole installation was totally unstable due to lack of wipe. soooooooo....
12. reboot to system
13. test again
14. reboot to recovery
15. DO NOT WIPE CACHE OR DAVLIK, perform a "Factory Reset" under the wipe menu
16. reboot to system - cry tears of joy if you now have a bugless, functional custom rom that can message again.
I know there are likely redundancies in my methodology, and i dont know if my theory is in fact what has made this work for me now when everything else failed before, but, fact remains that it worked (is working) for me. I am very hopeful this is at least a way around the problem for those that have been plagued with it as I have.
I'll keep everyone posted with whether or not this sticks forever (i'm only about 24 hours deep), and of any other developments as I likely get stupid/courageous enough to perform additional wipes, etc. Anyone else that has dealt with this issue, your feedback (hopefully successes) and thoughts on the issue are very much welcome. Let's kick this thing.
Doh! Why do I have to go to work?! Stupid railroad... I will attempt tonight when I come home!

Haven't been able to get it to stick but I've been starting from a daily driver stock Rom. I should probably begin with a clean install as described.

Thought I'd leave an update - things still working well. All messages still coming through and sending well. Anyone out there been able to recreate my success with this process?
Well, seems very conplex. Will this work on every phone?

Quick update on my end - I finally succumbed to the need to wipe cache on viper, and sure enough my old issues with sms and texting in general returned. I restored back to a nandroid made before the wipe and everything was OK again. I was emboldened to take a few risks since the ball was already rolling - I flashed Carbon Rom with all manner of wipes and with no particular consideration paid to the issue we've been discussing. Surprisingly, everything has been working perfectly with SMS and MMS. Really made me wonder what was going on back then - was it TWRP? was it the wipe? was it something solely on VZW's end that has now been cleared? Don't think I'll ever figure it out completely. Just glad that I seem to be past the issues. Has anyone else seen improvement?
Hello, all.
I seem to have a tricky one. Two days ago, I decided to give CM12 a try on my OG Moto X dev edition. Turns out I couldn't forgo Xposed, so I reverted to my nandroid backup. The install of CM12 was preceded by a wipe of data and system and an install of CM11, followed by a dirty flash of CM12, as per the rom instructions. Both CM12 and reverting to Kitkat went well, with no noticeable hiccups.
When I booted to CM12, I noticed my weather app referencing a location in Colorado. I live in Arizona, so that's quite a bit of error, but I didn't pay additional attention to it at the time. After I got back to Kitkat, I realized it was still giving me an incorrect location. After some further investigation, I determined my Net location was very off, but my device GPS was spot on. I have a VZW network extender at my house (acts like a mini cell tower and routes calls over the home broadband) so I suspected it was giving out the wrong location. While it was powered down, I was getting a correct Net location, but once it powered back up, I was back to the precise same wrong location. I have tried rebooting the extender, router, cable modem, and phone. I have also cleared the cache and dalvik cache on the phone.
To further complicate things, this is not consistent. My dad has a Note 3 which, when connected to the extender, has correct net and gps location. Phones expected to be connect the extender were confirmed by dialing #48.
Is there something I'm missing here? I been a fair flash-ohalic on previous phones, but far less on this one, but I've never seen something like this before. Thanks ahead for any help.
I have since reverted to full stock 4.4.4 via fast boot recovery files. I tried that pure, as well as Eclipse ROM (4.4.4). Both still exhibit the location error. I also cleared my location history from Google. Sigh...
