I have literally tried wiping my whole device (including internal memory) more than once and still I get NO GPS lock with this ROM, but excellent GPS with the 12.1 ROM. The only thing that will work is to Odin back to stock and start all over again... and do not put a 12.1 ROM on the phone if you ever plan on using GPS with CM11. GPS will not work on CM11 after using CM12 on your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
Ik have exact same gps issue with cm11

I had a long time cm11.

but want to try cm12 so i installed it and worked.

the cm12.1 rom has lot other issue's so wanted to go back to cm11

installed it and looks fine till i want to use the gps not working.

tryed to go stock no result.

back to cm12.1 and gps works just fine.

my son have the same s4 and is running cm11 without gps problems.

I am desperate to find a good solution
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nightcrow:
Had the same problem and although I don't know much about it, it might have something to do with the modem/bootloader. When I tried CM12.1 before I flashed the rom I also updated the modem/bootloader to the latest lollipop versions. When I switched back to CM11 I 'downgraded' the modem/bootloader by flashing the original stock firmware through Odin. Might also work with the flashable zips on another XDA-thread. GPS didn't work after doing this. Don't even know if it's possible to downgrade modem/bootloader from lollipop to kitkat but it seemed logical to me to have the modem/bootloader corresponding with the rom version.

However today I kept the lollipop modem/bootlader and just flashed CM11 on top of it and GPS works just fine. Hope this helps you out too, damn glad to be back on CM11 again with GPS working :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
very good answer.

for all having problem gps/modem, the procedure to install any other rom coming from official 5.0.1 it's to " downgrade" to 4.4.2 ( official). root, cwm + custom rom

please pay attention,. sometimes you need to flash official rom TWICE ( firt time modem firmware remain from 5.0.1 and did not work with 4.4. 2 )

so don't "skip those steps - it's mandatory ( and wipe cache everytime )

i'm stick to cm11, best rom ever ( fast, plenty of space available )
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
Tnx. I start tomorrow morning and let u know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nightcrow:
Just to be clear: for me downgrading the modem/bootloader to kitkat and then flash CM11

didn't

work. I used Odin to flash the latest original lollipop firmware for my country (true that this has to be done twice!) and by doing so also a lollipop modem/bootloader. Then I installed CM11 and everything seems to be working just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
yes, I understand.

but the standard procedure it's the one described on the previous post. even it's working for some users ( including me :) ), I don't recommend to do this. please be so kind and read the CM team instructions .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
Ok starting now.

I make nano backup of my cm12.1 (5.1.1)

I also use twrp and not cmw.

Installed now the stock I9505XXUGNG8_I9505PHNGNF1_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar.md5 (I9505XXUGNG8_I9505PHNGNF1_PHN.zip) 4.4.2 (with odin)

(normaly the gps is not working after install stock).

Wil do that twice.

But how i install only the modem/lollipop bootloader?

edit:

did go back to stock.

the same thing i tryed 2 times already.

but now sudenlay when i installed "gps test" he got sattelites:confused:

rooted it now and go install twrp now
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
sorry but I did not get it

after stock 4.4.2 with odin ( TWICE !! ) , your phone should work perfect . please confirm

you do not need to install modem/bootloader from 5.0.1 to have cm11 work !!!!just root, twrp . after that you install all apps or restoring from your google account !!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
Yes confirmed

Did install stock and booted then installed again stock

Now i running cm11 again and gps works

I think it is very strange to.

Because i already tried this method (not twice)

Now say's gps test 21 satellites in view and that was before zero!

Got a 3d fix with 11 in use.

So i am very happy it works again!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
ok, glad that you did sort it out :) congrat

the "secret" it's, indeed, "twice".

very easy to check - everytime when not working, in "about" , check the version of modem etc.

and "install" again and again until it's ok

and don't use odin 3.10 but 3.09.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
i also used odin 3.09

also did nothing with a lollipop modem/bootloader.

after gps works at stock i rooted the phone installed twrp and install the cm11 also gapps

restored my apps with titanium

at the moment i config my screens

when everything is ready i make a nanobackup with twrp

tnx all

There is no secret.

Or perhaps it appears that way when important 1st step is skipped when preparing for Odin flash.

1. Power off

2. Boot directly to download mode from powered off state

3. Flash anything* in Odin 3.0x ONLY ONCE

* bootloader, kernel, modem, firmware

Please stop using reboot before download mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
Perhaps was this the thing what i did wrong.

Power Off and not reboot to download/recovery!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] O-T:
I didn't mention recovery in last post, only download. But here's failsafe method of entering both

Power off before download mode .

Reboot is OK before recovery mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trein91:
Came from cm11. Tried cm12.0 and cm12.1. Now came back to my previous perfect cm11 but the gps isn't working now.

What I tried was flashing Samsung 4.4.2 twice (with Odin as administrator and proper flashing with phone powered off completely too). Even on the Samsung stock rom the gps was not working.

Flashed the nk2 modem and bootloader. Gps still not working. Ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
did you checked the versions of modem / sw on "about" ?

if there are right versions.. you should go to Samsung service . sorry about this.

btw.. the wifi/bt/ 3G connections are ok ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] spikehome:
[MENTION=4690065]trein91[/MENTION]

step 1 shutdown phone

step 2 install stock firmware with odin

step3 root stock i used "I9505XXUGNG8_I9505PHNGNF1_PHN.zip"

step 4 install cmw/twrp

step5 install cm11

Good luck!

Can someone please answer me ? I had official 5.0.1 TW, i installed 5.0.1 GPE and i want to try CM11. Is there anything that i should do before (considering the official LP update) or just wipe and install ? Does the UHOB8 modem get along well with it ?

( 4.4.2 official,( twice ), wipe, root , cm11)

i have the same problem. my solution: install "cm remix lp" and try "gps test" from play store. if gps work, do a wipe in "twrp" and install cm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 1weener:
What is, "cm remix lp"? Is it a ROM, and will it go on my i337 ATT phone? The CM11 4.4.4 ROM is a fantastic ROM that still stands out to me as the best. If I could only get GPS working on it, I would be running it now and for the foreseeable future... as if the future is foreseeable... lol

I think it will be some time before CM12 catches up, but maybe it won't take that long. It is much better now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dergu:
it is "Resurrection Lollipop v5.4.5][ORIGINAL]". for me it is easier to install a 250MB Rom instead of 1GB from 4.4.2 Samsang ROM to get GPS working. it is only an example that work for me

Hi,

i had cm11 nightly from ca. february and it worked good but switched to stock firmware 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNK4_I9505OXAGNK4_I9505XXUGNK4) for some time

and now installed fresh cm-11-20150531-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip but i have problems with my bluetooth VW hands-free equipment :(

The hands-free equipment signalises an incoming call differs between 1 second to 10 seconds (and then automatic disconnect) but the s4 does not say there is an incoming call.

Does anyone have the same problem ?

Sometimes this strange behavior comes 3 times an hour and sometimes not for 2 hours :(

Camera comming back from LP

Hello,

I've been using this rom for about a month now, after I had LP in one form or another, including TW Lollipop which asked me (and I agreed) to update my camera firmware first time I opened the official camera app.

Now, back on KK cyano, I've had strange hangs followed by "can't connect to camera" quite a few times, especially when changing from back to front camera.

Does anybody know if the fact that I allowed TW LP to "upgrade" the camera firmware might have anything to do with it, or do other people experience these behaviors, who've never had TW LP on their devices? And is there a way to "downgrade" the camera firmware?

Thank you.

Same for me. Was expecting snapshot M13 which has never been released. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=jflte&type=snapshot (Lastest: M12 20141112...)

I searched on Cyanogenmod forum and on Xda, but didn't find any explanation about a "final" snapshot version of CM11 for jflte.

As CM12.1 seems not to be stable enough, how to get a 9505 phone working fine with CM ? Nightly builds are not stable (still have some issue with camera not communicating sometimes - reboot, still have to turn off/on Data to wake it up, without any apparent reason...).

Does anybody find information somewhere about having a stable CM for 9505. Do devs still work on this device ???

Thanks for the answer, but It's made for cm12 and I think it's not compatible with 11.

Anyway it's a minor bug, not so important.

The real one problem is the mic. Videos, recording on apps, and in videos are really low. There is any fix?

Edit: what about slow motion?

Same question here. I want to try CM12.1 on my 9505 for the past several months, but I did'nt because of BT bugs (no go for me).

How to move back to CM11

after

upgrading BL/modem to those in TW 5.0.1 ?

2 scenarios:

-

Downgrading firmware

(BL/modem)

I read somewhere (can't find an URL) that downgrading BT/modem, by flashing a previous stock rom, could brick the phone.

It may happens when flashing a pre-knox stock rom (4.2.2) over a knox-enabled S4 (since 4.3). What if flashing a 4.4.2 stock rom over a S4 with latest 5.0.1 rom ?

-

Using CM11 on a S4 with TW5.0.1 firmware

Maybe the safest solution, as CM rom seems to be relatively independent of the firmware.

Then, of course, a full wipe is mandatory.

[MENTION=3126441]walttheboss[/MENTION] : Please tell us if you have been able to use CM11 on your 5.0.1 up-to-date S4. Which scenario used: downgrade FW or not ? Thanks in advance for sharing.

I may go to CM12.1 snapshot (yes !!!) which appears yesterday: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=jfltexx.

Download: cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-jfltexx.zip (252.16 MB)

If I brick the phone while going back to CM11, I could buy a LG G4 like AntaresOne:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63729768&postcount=312

Or simply buy a Nexus 5X (since Google bring back App Permissions) and then give up with Cyanogenmod ?
