Hughesnet what app did you use on 6-1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
What exactly did you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
fasterGPS. Run it and put in region and country then reboot and you should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
This is what I found on the Rootbox G+ page:

For those who have some problem with the GPS lock, here are some trick to help you out with this. Get the FastGPS app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps). Open it. Select your continent and region. You can customize other settings... but I don't do it and it's fine. Reboot after saving the changes to make sure everything is loaded properly. GPS lock should be faster after that.

If you want a faster fix, you can also install the GPS Update app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.bars.qagps). This app will update de A-GPS data regularly (when you plug the charger, when wifi is connected and on schedule).

With those two apps, I'm getting a precise position with Maps within a few seconds when I'm outside.

By the way, I found out that the slow GPS lock all started when a custom gps.conf was included in CyanogenMod (and nearly every other roms after that). This custom gps.conf file has a NTP_SERVER configured that do not always work fine for some persons.*"

I believe Pimp My Rom will also let you do this, the flashable zip used to so I would bet the app does also.

I don't have to complain about volume on aosp anymore, I had ear Surgery a week ago and now I have to turn the volumes down, I love it....

In other news, I'm running 4.0 and is quite smooth, lucky I don't have any GPS issues either. That's for keeping this rom going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrmiller125:
I tried the GPS fix people have mentioned and it still doesn't seem to fix GPS. I use GPS daily so I guess for now I'll roll back to the previous nightly since others seem to be having issues with 4.0 as well. Love the ROM though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 5150jpd:
I restored a nandroid back to Root box 4.0 from Beans build 17 to try the GPS fix and for some reason after flashing the nandroid my internal SD card was wiped clean?.... My entire downloads folder is note empty. Any ideas as to what happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leemsami:
Same here, I couldn't get the GPS the work either even with all the previous methods, but

I didn't go to 4.0, I went back to 3.9 though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
It actually did seem to work for me, the one I posted above, although when I used Pimp My Rom on my S3 to fix it it never worked. I also went and tightened all of the screws on the back of my phone under the battery door and that also seemed to help. I had seen a few people post about it and noticed my phone was squeaking, not the best way to describe it, and when I went to tighten them they were extremely loose. Once tightened the squeaking stopped and I seem to get better GPS signal, it could just be placebo effect though....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Powell730:

New favorite Note 2 ROM. Can't wait to see how it performs for work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
So I was looking for a PA rom for a friend on AT&T and came across a GPS fix that actually worked. Its a recovery flash able zip and the dev states that it works for all t0lte devices so I gave it a shot after trying all the GPS fixes we have and none of them working and IT WORKED! It worked for me, being on a VZW Note 2, and it worked for my friends AT&T Note 2 also.

Here is the thread link:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/40116-42...de-hello-halo-0604/page__st__490#entry1184057

Give it a shot and see if it works for anyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dogswind:
I thought GPS was fixed by getting a lock on a TW ROM before flashing. Worked for me anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leemsami:
Wow!!!!it worked, thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That has worked for me many times in the past but the last 4 nightlies have given me pure hell with GPS and have never once connected no matter what I did. I tried everything under the sun such as flashing back to TW to get a lock, using FasterGPS and Pimp My ROM to overwrite the AGPS data and the GPS.conf, etc. This is the only thing that made GPS work for me and is a heck of a lot easier than having to flash back to TW and get a lock then restore your ROM.

Does this fix the force close in the phone.apk?

off topic question: Does the samsung dock work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kxhan15:
I have an issue. I was on Jedi x13 (4.1.2). I decided to flash this ROM ( which I actually love!). I flashed the one in the op. I wiped cache, dalvik/cache and factory reset. Then flashed the ROM, then flashed the gapps from the op and wiped dalvik/cache one more time. Then I reboot system. Everything loads up fine and runs fine. However when I open astro file manager, I see 3 "my files". Usually I see 2, one represents Internal storage the other represents external storage. I have never seen the 3rd one before. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix for it? Files 1 and 3 have contents, 2 is empty. So I restored to a back up of the Jedi x13 (4.1.2) and flashed the SD card downgrade zip in the op and the SD card still keeps the "0" folder even after flashing the restore zip a 2nd time. So I re did all the steps I did to flash this ROM and I also still have 3 storage files in astro. I have attached some screen shots to demonstrate what I am talking about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Maybe you should try moving everything you want off of your internal before you flash and format the internal, when you hit the wipe button its the option button on the right side. I usually do that between 4.1 and 4.2 to get rid of all the bull**** that accumulates.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

It should. What features of the dock are you wanting exactly? The stock Sammy dock app won't be there of course but there is an AOSP dock feature, I believe, that will work and if you don't like it there are a number of excellent dock apps on the Play Store you can use instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
OK, so I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question.....

Is there any way to use imported contacts ONLY on AOSP? I don't enjoy having my contacts backed up to Google, while it makes it easier to get em with every ROM flash I still don't like having all my contacts backed up to a random account that anyone can go through.

So is there any way to do this? Maybe a modified phone.apk? I know there are apps I can purchase, or even download for free, but I would rather have the stock app if at all possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Since you are on Verizon, the government has already gone through your contacts, as well as monitored your calls, and determined that you don't know anyone important enough for the black suits to contact you. :D

But really, I have wondered this before as well. Until there is a good solution, I have just been using rom toolbox
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
The 6/9 nightly is FCing theme manager for me. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmixxx:
Typically (from a TW rom) I can use a mouse and keyboard and I get a mouse pointer. I'm not getting that, Plus when I take it OFF the dock, The phone hangs and I have to do a battery pull to get things going again....

I'm coming from cleanrom, where I dock it at night, then at work I dock it there to send messages, check email, skype, or Hangout.

Works like a charm on TW and 4.1.2. Cyanogen based roms -- not so lucky ...

Anywho, love the rom, 6/9 fixes my force close issue with the phone. Gonna rock this a while...

IF you need me to produce some logcat's I can...(just tell me what to do)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I'm sure they have gone through the contacts on my Google account. That's why I haven't synced those contacts in years. I would really love to find a solution that doesn't require a 3rd party app.

I have room toolbox but I'm not looking for something to back them up, I could easily do so in Tibu when I'm backing up my apps. I'm wanting the phone.apk to show contracts from my phone only, contacts I imports from one of my backups, instead of only allowing you to use the ones that were backed up to your Google account. I've read that this is an AOSP issue and that AOSP can't support it which I highly doubt seeing as how it seems to be an app issue add opposed to an AOSP limitation. It is enabled on son l some of the 4.2 roms for other phone soi that tells me it is possible but I don't know how difficult it would be. If it was only modding an app then I will try to do that myself, I just don't know if it is completely possible on VRB without changes to the underlying ROM.

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

What you're talking about is USB OTG functionality, not dock functions. The dock enables you to do it a bit easier but you can do the same thing with a USB expansion thingy, can't think of the name thanks to sleep deprivation.

From what Devs and other users have said USB OTG is a kernel function as opposed to a ROM function although the ROM has to have support built in for it, which most do.

I'm using Plasma kernel, previously named Matrix, with VRB and it works perfectly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kxhan15:
First ofall thank you so much for your prompt response. i did try wiping the internal storage per your suggestion, and unfortunately the 3 "my files" are still there. any other suggestions?

I should also mention: I also use 1 tap cleaner pro for cleaning up cache on the fly. and according to 1 tap cleaner ther is a certain amount of cache that is accumulated that cannot be deleted. and that amount seems to grow as the day progresses. This didnt seem to happen on my tw based roms such as jedi x13. I dont know if these 2 issues are related but is there a fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hejay:
Any way to access the Advanced Phone settings on this rom? (e.g. Scenario, key backlight, etc.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
Has anyone else been having issues with signal dropouts? I can't tell if it's the phone (had a refurb from a warranty because of the same thing) or the ROM itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmixxx:
I normally can find the AOSP dock feature, but I'm looking to just put it on the dock at home/work and plug in a mouse and keyboard. OTG works fine -- I'm using it now. I want to use my docks HDMI cable to hook it to an external monitor. I'm slowly moving from a regular desktop to my device for my everyday needs and my dock was key.

Oh well -- OTG with a radioshack usb port expander works VERY well...

thanks for the hint on 'the matrix' Sipping on my battery like syzurp ( a Project Pat Reference...)

I'm gonna rock this a while...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
And what I'm saying is it should work for you considering that Matrix has UAB OTG built in, if it doesn't work on the dock it may be an issue with the Sammy dock, like having to have TW framework for all the features like HDMI to work on the dock. You may be able to get it to work another way though, like using the Sammy HMDI adapter piece.

And if people don't get the Project Pat reference without you having to tell them...... Well that saddens me.

OK so here's the solution. I forgot that I had to do this when I first flashed. So, to get voice search and Voice to text to work you need to uninstall Google search and something labeled com.Google.android.voicesearch.4.0.0

So, uninstall these two things from titanium backup. Then go into the playstore and install Google search and voice search. Profit.

You may not even need to install voice search. I think uninstalling the two items mentioned then reinstalling Google search should solve the issue.

After that you should be good to go. Pretty simple. :)
