I've had no GPS or Maps issues, other than occasionally having to reacquire the GPS Almanac Data if I haven't used the GPS in a while. I recommend you DL and install "GPS Test", which is free in the play store. Under settings in that app, you can Clear AGPS and then Request AGPS data about 30 seconds later. That usually clears up any position/heading issues for me. I know this ROM has "Angry GPS" built-in, offering similar features. However, it's not easy to get to and I have a comfort/confidence level with "GPS Test", as I've been using it for a few years.

I had Google+ start to force close on me. I tried the usual clear app cache, reinstall, wipe dalvik, but no love.

I downloaded and reinstalled the PA micro gapps from the second post and that fixed it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Hope you enjoy the vanilla experience on that touch wiz rom . If all you want is a gyroscope to play games its definitely the right move . I much prefer this rom and the other custom roms to the stock experience . For every one thing missing it probably has 10 other features stock doesn't have to make up for it . Cheers ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
I need it for taking photo spheres as well, which I use in my work.

I really liked the Kit Kat ROMS, but without a gyroscope and properly working voicemail, I was forced to go back. You are definitely right about the features. I was torn about going back to the stock ROM. I love experimenting, so there is a good chance I will try again at some point.

After doing major research and experimenting here is the fastest way to install this rom:

Power off phone and boot into "Download Mode" (Hold power button & Vol down)

Flash One-Click EL26_Stock_CWM5.exe

Should Boot into recovery

Flash in recovery choose install from zip and select blasphemykernel-6.6-4.3.zip

Power off phone and boot back into "Download Mode"

Flash One Click FL24_Modem.exe

reboot into recovery

Flash VILLUMINATI rom choose install from zip VILLUMINATI-03232014-d710.zip

reboot boot into rom and boot into android. Once fully booted then reboot back into recovery

Flash choose install from zip flash GAPPS MICRO pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140417-signed.zip and reboot/restart phone.

Stupid question that I can not find on Google:

Rather than GAPPS, could I just somehow flash just the Play store, and download the few Google Apps that I use such as Gmail, Play Music, Youtube, etc, from the Play Store. It hit me the other day when upgrading my GAPP version, that I should be possible to just flash store, and download the rest to have them install and update automatically...

Am I wrong?

Also with lack of development news, PLEASE tell me Dastins April Fools day joke was a joke!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh dude I get you. Use dhos gapps (there's minimal slim gaps but they might not play nice). Thats mostly the play store and other things. Do go ahead and delete them thogh. You can delete whatever you like and you should be OK. Excluding play services and other apps that don't have icons to click. In fact its a good idea to do that to save space on the system partition of that's being problematic.

And BTW no such thing as a stupid question. Just stupid people who don't ask. Haha

[Edit] fuk wrong thread. Yeah go ahead and use slim gapps. The minimal ones. Alternatively use the AIO gapps and choose what you want.

I'd like to ask all the current users what modem you guys are using? Are you seeing the same random loss of 3g I'm seeing. Does having a different ICS modem than FL27 help get more consistent 3g for any of you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
See I want to try to get away from using a Gapps package, because if I delete one of the apps it installs, it comes back when I clear dalvik cache... dunno if you guy have this problem too. Also I use Lighting Launcher, and by moving away from a GAPPS package, I can avoid Google Now launcher. I loved the launcher at first, but I keep going back to lighting, and I find freezing Now Launcher, some of the play services keep turning it on in the background.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I see what you're saying. Just no that's not supposed to happen haha. The caches have no apps. There is no hidden apps there ^ ^ I'll pretend that you can't work around this problem ( for explanation reasons). Get slimgapps aio. Its neat cause it let's you pick which apps you want via an aroma touch wizard. Try it. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4

I can't imagine an instance where deleting the caches would bring back an app :/ even factory reset. Hmm.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goofwear:
Thank you guys.

I had a problem I flashed the march 23 build of the villuminati ROM and tried flashing different gapps. But none of them would let me log into a Google account. I did not go a dirty flash. I wiped the dalvik cache. And the factory wipe and the cache partition. I tried the slim aio gapps and all 4 of the PA gapps. From full to stock. To what ever medium was and then tried micro. All to pa gapps would no flash . said not enough room on system . he micro was only 40 megs. But the slim aio was 120 is and flashed fine. I would love to fix this and be able to use this ROM. I had to revert back to a cm10.1 build.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Thanks for the tip. I got a tasker profile working. Its basically the same, only slightly different than yours so I thought I should share incase anyone else is having my experiences.

I installed secure settings to toggle airplane mode because just toggling mobile data doesn't do anything for me.

I also added an IF to the Google.com check to not toggle if I'm in a call because it will drop the call.

I did that by adding 2 variables for call to the profile.

Profile+ > state > phone > offhook (name it InCall)

Task+ > variable > variable set > %INCALL TO 2. (Incall = 2)

Profile+ > state > phone > phone idle (name it CallEnd)

Task+ > variable > variable set > %INCALL TO 1 (CallEnd = 1)

Then just add if to the Google task

IF %INCALL ~ 1

And

IF %INCALL !~ 2

Don't mean to be off topic but this is a good workaround for data loss. I've daily drove this all week and its been pretty good using this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Nice... that's the beauty of tasker.. so configurable... I've actually edited mine to so that it doesn't check if Wi-Fi is on...

Gonna edit it now to include your fixes...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Weird, I'm actually loosing data weather I'm on WiFi or not. I'll try to go to an app and I get error, no data connection. When I pull down quick settings, my WiFi (when its on) and my signal bars are orange. My tasker profile fixes this of course. But it happens either on cell data or on WiFi.

CM Audio Issues

Can someone give me a basic rundown of the audio issues on CM? I want a better understanding of what we know and what would be a good approach to looking at it. I've got a bit of programming experience but pretty new to most of the android environment. I have a bit of free time that I would like to put towards working on getting rid of the audio cut outs. Even after modding the tiny_alsa file I'm still getting audio cut outs. If someone can point me in a direction and possibly what to look for that would be awesome.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] josepheb2:
Hi, first off id like to thank the developer for this rom. However i am running into a very troubling problem. Ever since i started using CM 11 i have experienced what i believe is the call bug mentioned several times in this and other threads. Whenever i'm in a call my microphone cuts out and the other end is not able to hear me. i can switch to speakerphone and it will work again but the person is barely able to hear me. If i start out with speakerphone things are fine, as long as i stay in speakerphone that is. at first i thought it was a hardware issue so i downloaded a voice recorder app and had a mock phone call for about three minutes the microphone picked up all of it. So i switched to MoKee Open Source Project but ran into the same issue. i prefer this rom so i switched back and have put up with the problem thinking that an update will fix it so far it has not. iv hunted in this and other threads but have not found a clear solution to this problem and even more frustrating is that others seem to not have this problem even though we are or were on the same version. now i have asked this in the general section due to a limitation of a low post number and did receive an answer "use a touchwiz rom". well im not saying that was a bad answer but i was looking for something a bit more in depth i tried to ask further but did not receive an answer. not to mention that i know very little about any of this and am not even sure how to tell if a rom is touchwiz or not. im hoping that a post in here will suply me with the answers i seek. has anyone else had this problem? if so, how was it fixed? was it fixed?

Thank you,

Joe

Can someone who downloaded the new version upload it somewhere please? I deleted all of the partitions on my phone while I was waiting for download... My surprises when the download doesn't work! XD

Edit - Seems the download link is working now on both Chrome and Firefox.

Does anyone know of a way to just install the Playstore without GAPPS?

Tried to follow jcsouthworth's advice to use Internet Explorer because it has a continue download option. It still does not seem to work.

Also I found this link for the play store http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2227787 . Would installing this allow me to install the apps I want, including those that come in GAPPS, without having to install GAPPS itself? My complaint is that even the Micro GAPPS package has features I dont want (Google Now launcher).

I've always been curious, regarding the camera and its video taking capabilities, where does the problem lie? Is it something from samsung's end that makes it hard to work with on AOSP/CM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
I'm not sure what camera problems you are referring to. I've been running the version prior to dastin's latest update for almost three weeks as my daily driver and the camera works fine for me.

Actually, video is better than stock for me. Please explain exactly what you are experiencing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I cannot take video with the back facing camera without it seizing up and can no longer access it. Has always been like that for me. Front facing can take video, but with snapchat doesn't work for very long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Ok, i got it thanks.

I've had that happen to me on a few other phones prior to my S2. It turned out to be that the camera itself that was broke. Both times. Also samsung phones too. Not saying that is your problem but if I may make a few suggestions?

Go back to stock TW and see if it still happens. If so, then you know it's the camera and not the rom.

Also, are you completely wiping(formatting) /system /data and /cache before you install the rom? Another culprit could be restoring data to a certain app after you flash the rom. Try reflashing the rom and check righ after you install to see if the camera works. Before you install any apps.

You may have already done these things but just trying to help from my exp.

Its really not that hard to get back.

Make a backup of your current.

Go back to stock. Don't forget about jb modem

To get back from gb27

Using agatGB27 recovery or cwm5

Flash ics modem.zip.

Advanced Restore cm11 kernel from your backup.

Reboot recovery

Format everything except sdcard

Flash latest Cm11 back

I have switched from sprint to uscc on cm11/10/9/7, pac 4.2, mokee 4.4, and gb27: touched by an s4. All with working calls , data, mms, gps...etc etc. From my understanding as long as yout phone works with the bands your carrier uses, and you have an unlocked device (locked sim cards are different) you should be able to change carriers. Although depending on what your trying to do there could be alot of work involved and safety of your device is not guaranteed. IMHO changing carriers on a cm based rom is much easier than a touchwiz rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
If I wanted to go back to stock, but one of the modded stock roms on "Android Development," would I have to go to one of the regular rooted stock roms and then flash into one of the modded ones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
I don't think you would have to do all that. You probly could just format everything and flash the modded stock ROM you want.

This phone is difficult because the recovery is packed up with the kernel. Most android phones the recovery is separate from the kernel. For us that means that you have to flash the kernel that the ROM comes with in order to get the proper recovery that will work for that ROM. This is only a concern when moving from TouchWiz(Samsung based) to AOSP or AOKP or the opposite because they require different kernels.

A little trick I have learned to get around this is to flash the ROM from the current recovery.

Reboot recovery

Now in the right recovery, for the ROM you want, format everything and

Flash the ROM once more and your done

Ok. Let's keep in mind that this thread is about CM11 so not to get off topic.

If you have any more questions about this just pm me. I'd be glad to point you in the right direction.
