GPS is locking fine. Only issue I found was I tried to do the VPN hack to remove the lock screen requirement (wrong password x5 and reset with pin) but I never get prompted for the pin. Some security file is missing I suspect.

So far its buttery smooth. Very noticeable (to me) than 1.0. Tomorrow I'll torture it and see how it holds up. Great job and much thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
For the hell of it....

I got my fat ass out of my chair and walked out side... (risking my job)...

and GPS with Maps locked in 3 to 5 seconds.

No WiFi, just GPS and Location service.

I conclude again... No problem with GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I can try to figure that out. There was so much security crap on this phone it was ridiculous.

Samsung is trying to win Military grade security certification.

EDIT: Wait, what hack are you talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tCizler:
I concur, I only used GPS, not location services or the Wi-Fi/network location. And it still only took about 5 seconds

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
Used GPS Status & Toolbox.... no locks at all. Normally I get at least a dozen strong locks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] triton302:
Yup, using GPS Status and I'm not getting anything at all. And it took me a good hour to get the phone set up perfectly how I want it too, dammit. Guess I'll try reflashing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
I just went outside. Clear view of the sky. Maps says location is temporarily unavailable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Check ROM MD5 SUm to ensure no bad download. It happens occasionally. A guy a while back had MMS crash on him. No one could figure it out including me.

He downlaod again and flashed and it was fine.

But there is no gps issue that I can reproduce.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
Seems a bit smoother (odex 1.1) but I'll give it a day or two to shake things about to be sure.... 1st odexed ROM :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
I get no locks either on mine clean install. gps status shows no locks. If i use network location is says im about 10 miles from my house but it picks up quickly lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coderedpl:
Have a trip coming up tomorrow, guess i'll nandroid before flashing just incase :)

still downloading
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Now that I think about it I didint update maps...

Only Gmail and Youtube. So ther goes that theory.

I have all 3 location services turned on...

Walked out side, not connected to anything but GPS and Cell Data and it locked in 3 to 5 seconds.

Check sum matches but I too can't get a gps lock...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Me too, just standalone gps checked, even turned off wifi. Just with 4g and standalone gps maps doesn't give me a lock. :( even went outside in the rain lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Glad it worked out for you ..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Using GPS Test I have 19 in view 8 locked. This is inside a **** hole solid brick building stading near a window.

GPS is better than any device ever. Even my Note never got this many locks at work.

S3 would not lock AT ALL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craigerz:
How to do you guys run the test to see how many locks you're getting? I would usually just see if the navigation worked by giving it an address...:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I'm a no go with gps too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oilfighter:
clean flash, using GPS Status, no wifi, 4G, NO lock, at all, not even a pip of satellite signal.

Are the people getting a lock odex or de odex. I'm odex and not getting a lock. I wiped clean and flashed fresh. No mods but I did freeze some stuff but I think it's all the same as version 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
First of f don't run fix permission. The permissions are set by me and are set as they should be.

Got a lock in 2 sec running 1.1 odex. I had CM10.1. Did 1 wipe on data, cache and davlik, flashed 1.1 and booted. No issues. ROM is super smooth. Can't wait for the next version including the newest update from Samsung.

Scott,

No issues with the 1.1 odex so far with a semi-dirty flash (wiped system, dalvik, and cache). Everything is running super smooth and I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to future releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
Scott thanks for the great rom. Clean Install

The only things I notice is, I'm still getting wifi notification

and also full charged notification. (not sure if they should be there on your rom)

Gps is work great.

I won't comment on the speed until I test drive the rom for a day or so.

Are you planing to include Wifi and Tether toggles?

note "I found a SecBrowser.apk with bookmark sync fully working, it's base of GN2 I think.

better speed and it's not chrome base.

Thank you Scott for your hard work

Yes, I believe so as long as you debloat the Verion stuff.

I'll be working on an ATT specific version this weekend. Just an FYI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok, I just thought of one change I made to the ROM that may cause the erratic GPS issue for some... But still cant understand why not others...

Im going to post a revert patch in a moment...

So give me a minute... Then I have to reload Windows because i got a new Chip and mother board...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
Seems like that isn't for verizon s4's....unless I am not reading it correctly.

I'm stumped. Downloaded rom again, reflashed and still gps is a no go. I'm going back to 1.0 until this is sorted out. I need navigation too much

Thanks for this rom and all your work. Don't risk your job buddy. I can say that I did flash 1.1 over top 1.0 with only wiping cache and dalvic and it for sure is more snappy and gps locks in just a couple seconds. Everything is perfect. I also have done zero mods and only installed apps and data using tibu. Twrp 2.5. I hope this info is useful.

Thanks! Glad to be here!

Restored back to 1.0 and gps is perfect. Please figure this out as now I'm sure 1.1 is snappier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] triton302:
In Verizon's defense, they didn't have much of a choice, they were court ordered to do this.

Anyway, back on topic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok for those that want to try testing what I think could be the only fix... Do this..

Flash the De-Odex ROM then flash this de-odex patch and tell me what happens.

If you are on the Odex ROM then WAIT!

Make a Nandroid back up FIRST!

Clear cache after flashing. No need to factory reset.

Also, this is the stock services.jar... there for you will get the ongoing WiFi back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I really don't see any of these issues. I wiped everything and started from scratch add usual. I don't believe in dirty flashing whether it is supposedly fine to do so or not. Flashed rom, faux kernel, and my icon themes I like, reboot and was greeted with another smooth rom. I'm on odexed. I can't really tell much of a difference in speed since 1.0 was smooth. But I like being on the latest and greatest and scott produced just that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Im confused as to why some see this issue and some dont.

Very odd, heh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
For those having issues... Also, do you have all three location services turned on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cwd500:
What's the difference between an odex and a deodex rom, and which one has the advantage?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] triton302:
Decided to try and clean flash 1.0, then immediately dirty flash 1.1, then applied the "fix" you just posted. In an apartment building on the second floor of three, 18 on-view with 7-8 in use, average of about 80 feet in accuracy according to GPS Test. Much better, but still bouncing between 10-30 meters in Maps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Does twrp lock up for people?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
I'm being having that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
IM about to switch to CWM. I cant take the lock ups any more...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
Funny you should mention that. It froze a couple times when I re-booted into recovery. Had to do a battery pull.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
From what the news said today is that since big brother was established after 9/11 all phone records are collected by gov but not daily. Verizon has been ordered to hand over daily phone records (in electronic format) for 2 months of all its customers both here and abroad. No texts and no voice recordings at all are being handed over. So thats what they say anyways. LoL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Its been happening to me a lot and I need to get into recovery a lot when I am testing things... Grrrrr
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Can you flash the De-Odex ROM and the test patch so I know if that fixes it or not please?

I cant reproduce the issue so I cant know if thats a feasible fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I also pulled the Odex ROM for now so only De-Odex is up...

Because its easier to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
And with that... I need to tear apart my PC and rebuild it...

I tried a mother board and processor swap and no I am getting IRST errors. Only one but it caused system to reboot.

Needless to say having a stable dev computer is essential!

Be back later...

Test those files and let me know if that resolved the issue.

Thanks!

Peace out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjharris1985:
Has anyone had a problem with Titanium backup not restoring messages. On 1.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] triton302:
Scott, seems though your patch does work, however getting rid of the wifi notification is a pain and flashing the wifi notification removal mod throws everything off, I lost GPS after that.

So, what worked for me is simply doing a full wipe, flash 1.0, boot into the OS, back to recovery, dirty flash 1.1, dalvik and cache clean, and reboot. Seems fine so far, still averaging about 20 meters in accuracy in my apartment building according to Maps, but GPS Test shows me obtaining several satellites and between 50-100 feet in accuracy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
So you can confirm that you had the issue on 1.1 and flashing the Patch resolved the issue?

I dont care about the WiFi Notification... I can fix that... I just want to know if that fixed the GPS Lock issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
very. I just tried to get a gps lock and it said I'm 2.8 miles from where I actually am. No big deal. Luckily I don't use it much and I'm sure you'll get it fixed soon anyway. I haven't had twrp lock up on me though. I've only been in recovery about 5 times since I got this phone day after launch. Twice to flash each of your releases, one for your launcher mod, and twice for icon packs. I think my recovery likes some cleanrom :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Just waiting for triton302 to confirm and I will work on an update :fingers-crossed:

Still no WIFI button on the notifications menu ... is this normal ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
You have to use sqlite editor, on apps screen, scroll down to settings storage, click settings.db. Then select system, scroll down to id #202 which is notification panel active app list. Press and hold on right column on line 202 until the pop up comes up, select edit and add "Wifi". Save and reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
The patch works... just finished testing it. Thanks for the quick fix! Looking forward to flashing a new 1.1 tomorrow morning. Will you be making a new odex version as well as de-odex?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yes, you can dirty flash any of these from 1.0 to the upcoming 1.2

Odex / de-odex is irrelevant.

Perfect. I ****ed the GPS for some people. Oh well, no ones perfect. **** for worked me :p

IM reverting the hacks that caused the GPS blunder. Leaving the performance tweaks and only doing de-odex for now...

Will do Odex on Next build... Its so hard to fix mistakes on Odex... Its hell actually because I didint odex like a "normal" person. I odexed it a special way which makes fixing a busted odex build impossible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Clockwork mod seems a bit more stable right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:

So what was the issue that created this little ****-up?

1.2 isn't what you are fixing up this moment right? Just implementing the gps fix?

Sent from my rooted S4 blessed with Cleanrom 1.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
Is the de-odex 1.1 version on your site the one that addresses the GPS issue? Just curious if I should flash that one on top of the odex version I have or just wait until 1.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
I would wait for the next update. The de-odex 1.1 does not have the fix, but there is a patch posted a page or two back that fixes the de-odex version. So you could use it and the patch... but just wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Been flashing ROMs quite frequently the past few days. I'm just gonna wait now lol. Hopefully in time (like a month lol) this clean ROM will have the wifi toggle, blocking mode, and a custom boot animation where it just has the Samsung animation + sound. Removing Verizon animation from it entirely. 1.0 is awesome though, much better than stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craigerz:
You're a beast man! I flashed back to stock & re-rooted for a clean base so once 1.2 comes out I'll re-flash and see what the deal is. I don't know what the hell was going on before but thnx for the help :victory:.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
CleanROM 1.2 is uploading now...

It address the GPS issue.

If you want to fix the GPS issue on your own flash the fix that I posted a few posts back then flash my Tether hack and you will be back to where you need to be.

Otherwise... 1.2 is uploading now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Porting of services.jar from the international base that has the WiFi Notification removed naturally.

What I didint notice though.. Was that it omits some strings that the VZW phone may or may not need for GPS. Upon further comparison I realized that was the issue.

My phone did not need the extra.gpsone.smali code (or whatever it was) but some phones apparently do. Things that make you go Hmmmmm....

What it has to do with is what server the A-GPS data is downloaded from (how its downloaded maybe?) causing some phones not to download it while other phones may have already been locked and not need this data. IM not 100% positive but I zeroed in on the issue and resolved it so thats what is really important. I reverted back to the old style of WiFi Notification removal and will look at the method I want later on.

The method that I tried in 1.1 is more effective for people who theme. The 1.0 method and 1.2 uses the framework-res method of just hiding the files. This can conflict or has the potential to conflict with other themes (assume the get rolling). So doing it the way I did in 1.1 would have had zero impact on those people who want to create themes that work across different ROMs.

Make sense?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Just an FYI, I am so tired I will not be able to post this ROM till mid morning...

I am about to crash. This is going to be a loooong weekend both litterally and figuratively.

I owe the S3 community an update so I am really hoping this is the last update on the S4 for the next week or so.

The S3 is going to be like starting from scratch. They just got official MultiWindow!

Fun Fun!
