CM 11 killed GPS on I9300 !? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I updated from Stock to CM 11 (flashed CWM, wiped data/cache/delvik and then installed CM11 snapshot and gapps 4.4.4).
I can't find the gps options in the drop down menu. I searched an ppl reported GPS problems with CM 11 but I am not sure. I can receive SMS and make calls so baseband/EFS should be ok?
Is the menu hidden somewhere or CM11 killed GPS ?

After some searching I think I found it. There was a setting with two options. Battery saving and High Accuracy, Didn't know those were the GPS ones. Too diferent from s3 Touchwiz which is the only android I ve worked on.

[Q] Pixalated Icons on CynogenMod 10.1

Hi , i just installed the new version of cynogenmod 10.1 on my s2 gt -19100 . Everything went perfectly well. but the issue is that now all the icons on my phone are pixalated . it isnt sharp at all as it used to be . Can some one please help me out . also i keep losing wifi connectivity on phone . it connects and disconnects automatically
I'd recommend a clean installation. I'm pretty sure that it's not a CM issue because nobody is crying in the discussion thread :b
Choose to wipe data / factory reset. Then use mounts and storages > format /system.
Flash the CM zip file. Optionally you can flash GApps after.

also , i encountered one more issue . my contacts are being synced from my email . Guess , there's always a first to problems
No there aren't if you've flashed a couple of times :b
What's the problem with the sync of contacts? Your android phone will save contacts online - so they're linked to your googlemail-Account. If you flash a new ROM and enter your googlemail Account your contacts will be automatically downloaded You can disable it though
There are people having the same trouble as you with pixelated icons. Check the last pages of the rootbox support thread for instance. I'm not sure it's specific to CM10.1, but whatever the issue is, random users are being hit, and so far it's in the newest nightlies. Changing the mDNI scenario has worked for some. Other than that, there aren't any definitive solutions as of yet.
Edit: now check the CM thread. There's people talking now. Not just CM either, and it seems to be random. Not everyone has it.

Bootloader Unlocked,rooted and CWM Recovery from the Facebook Forum.
Just flashed Mokee 4.4.4 to my Huawei G525 and discovered a minor Bug.
Connecting USB to device for using USB to Copy Files between Device and PC causes reboot.
After reboot the Connection can be used until disabling it.
Same procedure each time Using USB-Connection.
I was amazed how fast the g525 can operate using mokee.
- Recognized tha WIFI tethering is missing in Mokee, but wifi_tether_v3_3-pre2.apk can be used.
-GPRS not working for 2 SIM-Cards.
- sudden Reboot when choosing USB-Drive whe connected to PC.
- Several APPs crash dirung boot (clock/sms/MMS)
meanwhile updated to "fixed" version to be found in Huawei Ascend G525 Forum on Facebook.
- APP Crashs still present.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Since this is Android 4.4.4 i'm wondering if using ART insead of Dalvic would bring more performance to the Phone.
Found it at Developers settings but there is a warning that ART is not supportet in Mokee.
Wondering if this means no technical support from Developers or no suppport within android/mokee ROM or even the smartphone?
P.S.: Tried to switch to ART and recognized leak of Performance and many APPS not working/disappeard,Homescreenwidget clock/weather not starting, so turned back to dalvik again.
Can someone post a link to fb page. I can't find anything, at least on my phone.
Cwm is in english? Is there a method to revert to original recovery?

Cwm is english and chinese. Search for huawei ascend g525 on FB.
My oppinion
I recently flashed MoKee os on my G525, and I want to mention the following:
-The clock/messaging/dialer etc. app crashes CAN BE FIXED by clearing the data of the specific apps (the data from the stock ROM seems to be present and keeps crashing the apps)
- Using the ART the performance is much improved, but 1. crashes happen often, 2. apps require significatly more ( 2x - 4x) storage space (and unfortunately not all can be moved to ext Storage) and 3. the wakelocks are erratic, taking up to 17% of the screen off time. On dalvik, they are around 6% (which is also much, on stock ROM they were around 3%).
-RILJ, which is run by the Phone app is the main cause of the wakeup time. I'm looking for solutions. On other phones, it seems to be related with network location. In my case, doesn't look like. This is issue is also erratic.
-Problems with mounting/unmounting external SD (probably this also causes the problems with USB connectivity)
-The phone doesn't heat up any more while doing basic stuff => better battery life. I also use the smartassV2 governor.
-Everything runs/loads faster and smoother. Yes, on Dalvik.
-The OS is very tweakable, including a sort of permission manager that works flawlessly. Love it.
The next thing I'm going to do is to make a fresh reinstall. It looks like many instabilty issues are caused by the old data.
Waiting for answers!!!!

[Q] Skype problems

Hi,
I have installed the resurrection remix RR JB V3.1.3 AOKP 4.2.1 (SGS2) ROMs with the dorimanx kernel, and the cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM on my i9100 int. and on both I am having problems with skype.
On the RR ROM skype crashes the entire OS and causes it to freeze, and on the Cyanogenmod ROM I have tried old and new versions of skype and they all have problems - 2 second lag to type a number in dialer, 2 second delay in sounds received whilst on a call, freezing, and switching from bluetooth to earpiece by itself (and then cant be turned back onto earpiece, doesnt disable or disconnect the phone from bluetooth though).
Has anyone else been having problems with skype on these ROMS?
Apart from that the ROMs seem to be working fine. I had a bug with RR where the input method kept swtihing itself to physical keyboard but that seems to be OK now. Everything is fine in the Cyanogen MOD apart from this skype problem (and a 64 gig SD card which is not mounting, which I think might not be supported by the kernel).
I have CWM 4.0.1.5 installed. Browser and other internet apps work OK.
Cheers for any help.

CM 12.1 or CM 13 Beta?

Hi guys,
I'm unable to ask on dev thread, so main question goes here.
Now I'm using Nikita's CM 12.1 (10.08-build). Everything works fine, but as flashoholic I can't wait to install CM 13, but as I know it's quite buggy. Can someone confirm, which features on CM 13 actually work?
- Stable SIM Signal
- Automatic/Manual Network Search
- Roaming
- WiFi / BT
- Camera
- GPS
- Incall volume settings
- USB Mass storage (PC connection)
- TWRP backup/restore
- Xposed framework / Greenify
Thanks!
The CM 12.1 is more stable because the CM 13 is nightly and it is updated everyday. Maybe you should wait the stable release of CM 13.
Yes, I know I replied lately, but I use CM13 Nightlies now and I got just a very few bugs. SIM signal is stable. WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera, GPS, volume settings, USB mass storage (and every other USB connection mode too) work well like as TWRP backup/restore.
CM13 for me since it works well as a daily driver.
Everything in your list works for me except USB Mass storage (PC connection) which I haven't tried yet.
Batterywise, I'm getting around 4 hours SOT with greenify and amplify installed which is enough to last me a whole day.
+1 for cm13... I think that it is faster than cm12.1... It feels snappier, don't know ...
own experience , CM 13 works great only thing I see is the Xposed . Battery pays me enough. can install applications on the SD solving the problem of space.
i think this rom is not yet stable, like i cant copy files from internal to external, cant change wallpapers. etc.. thats why i went back to stock rom for the mean time..
I cant wait for this rom to be stable and i am going to flash it again immediately.. ^_^ Thanks

Newer App Versions crashing on CyanogenMod ROMs

Hello
I have an Xperia Ray and was running a 4.4.4 ROM based on CyanogenMod till a few weeks ago when I started to realize that many of the newer versions of different apps caused strange troubles. Some of them crashed most file explorers I tried just on loading the icon from the downloaded APK. Some I managed to install nonetheless only to have the same problem with the launcher/drawer itself. Every time it tries to display the icon of the app it dies. Looking for a solution I discovered that CM13 got ported for my phone and was happy to be able to change to Android 6.0.1.
Sadly the troubles did not go away. The apps that showed the above mentioned symptoms on 4.4.4 have similar effects on 6.0.1. Only that now these apps are crashing the whole phone forcing a reboot and that the launcher app does not load at all anymore. Only solution is to uninstall the app manually in recovery mode via adb shell.
After a lot of tinkering, experimenting, talking to other app devs, and rebuilding open source apps I found that the problems appeared with the update to Android Studio 3. It seems that without changing anything code wise for these apps only the update from gradle wrapper 3.5 to 4.1 seems to cause these troubles. On the other hand I can build my own apps with the newest Android Studio with everything up to date without these problems showing up. So I guess it is some library, API, or whatever in combination with the newer gradle versions that causes these troubles.
Well, it seems that there is a bug in the CyanogenMod ROMs, as far as I know by now. It's not a Xperia Ray specific problem as people with other hardware running CyanogenMod have the same problems. For example this thread here. And I got confirmation from an app developer team that they were able to reproduce the problems on a Galaxy S2 running CM13.
It's also not Android version related as updating to 6.0.1 did not help at all.
Have you experienced what I'm talking about and maybe found the solution for that problem? I think there is a bug in the CyanogenMod system somewhere but I'm not skilled enough to find it.
I fear that these problems will render my phone incompatible with more and more upcoming app versions and would really hate to have to switch to a bulky modern phone.
Here are some log files showing the errors. Maybe you can read something useful from them.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Here some additional info that came as answer from a dev team I contacted regarding this issue:
The issue you have reported tends to only occur in devices with the older memory layout used by manufacturers for devices that run Android 2.x onwards, such as the Galaxy S2 - this layout still sticks around even when upgrading to custom ROMs with newer android versions. A unified internal layout for Android devices only started to appear in 2013 and it became the de-facto layout in 2014 or so.
In the old layout, you have both an Internal System Partition (1-2GB) and then an Internal System Memory (the rest of the device's advertised internal memory - its seen as emulated "External memory" - an external SD card then becomes "SD2" in these devices when running a custom ROM). This causes problems for apps that are created and compiled with the unified memory layout in mind, even if the old SDK is the target, because the system will not direct them to an accessible storage area to store user data.
The apps that do not have problems were the ones that have been around since android 2.x; they will instead have their own set of problems for newer devices and versions of Android.
Right now I'm not sure what to think of this...
Push...
push too , if i use a non cyangenmod based rom like paranoid android (6.0 Android MarshMallow Pure AOSP for Google Nexus 7 2012 WIFI), is this prob fixed then ?
i have nexus 7 (2012) wifi only device , i have cyanogenmod 11 (20141112) / android 4.4.4 ( this tablet has no SD card slot so no SD2 assignment )
Not Sony Xperia,..
Only a cheap Haier A16C3H with CM13 Nightly...but..
Yes the trouble is exactly the same in my experience here. I don't know what to do for the solution, except perhaps one of:
# "keep/looking for & install - only the old version of apps, or
# buying a new phone (if I can)
Sad
Nothing new
Push
Nothing new from my side, except that I think twice before updating an APP by now.
So far I've managed to get around with my old Xperia, but would be nice if someone more knowledgable could look into this matter.
Thanks.
Anyone figured out how to fix this? or even a workaround?
My problem was the cm13 based rom I am using on my LG G3 Beat had this problem with newer versions of apps, but someone made a cm14 based rom that fixes this problem but in exchange it created another problem, lag in the touchscreen, playing games where you have to do combo/multiple taps became impossible.
I got so frustrated that I just went back to stock lol.
