That is for 4.3 or 4.1.2.. Scott came out with this when he posted the International 4g base.. Won't work anymore

PS: I also have I605.06. So not sure what the issue is guys.. I am at a loss
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Oops I have I605.06 too. Does anybody have the two lib files I mentioned here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KeylanHalfdan:
Would the PDA version have anything to do with it. I looked at 4 of the screenshots from Phone info Samsung. The three that say it is working have a PDA of N7105XXUFND3. Mine works, and it is the same as this. The other screenshot I found posted here says I605VRUFND7 / I605VRUFND7f for PDA.

I don't know if that will help get us in the right direction or not, but it seemed interesting to me that the 4 working ones shared the same PDA, and the one not working had a different one.

Can anyone else post their PDAs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrkelley14:
I have the same PDA but GPS doesn't work either. And I loaded my brothers and his buddies up yesterday with R3ds with GPS not working also. This is crazy. I wiped everything, internal sdcard too. Fresh installs. Working gps on the previous N3bula ROM.

Does anyone else have this weird anomoly where sometimes the GPS status shows signals from satellites but just no lock, but then other times GPS looks totally dead with no sat signals. That's crazy to me but that's what I'm getting but I can't find a correlation when either case is going to happen. I'm going to go back to L18s stock rooted 4.4.2 and see if I get GPS back this weekend. Thanks for everyone's work on this.

2012.11.06

I605.06

I605RALJB

ND7

This is the only port ROM that gps works fine for me. Others have just not locked or extremely flaky.

Occasionally get a FC on hangouts and a few others, but been rock solid.

Thanks L18 for that app, good to know those things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrkelley14:
Explain this. The last couple days away from my house not a hint if a sat signal like I explained before. At my house I've seen enough SATs to lock the last couple nights but no lock. Now tonight when I got home, immediate lock; first lock I've had since using this ROM for a month (didn't even try until the other day though). I'm curious now that I've had a lock if I'll have better luck away from the house tomorrow. BTW, just in case there was some interaction the phone was having with my Verizon Extender ( femtocell) in my house I put the phone in airplane mode and still immediately locked. I'll keep gathering data and see if I can't get my brothers working now too...just can't believe the GPS is working this oddly.

no GPS either :(

Bootloader: RALJB

Hardware Revision: I605.06

Build Date: 2012.11.06

hope this is helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Here's what I did. I flashed Skky-N3b and GPS locks on right. If anybody wants more info just let me know. I'm still setting up my phone right now but I'll be back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I guess I have to accept the fact that my phone doesn't like any of the existing roms with S5 or N3 features. Trying to find something has been a total fiasco. I'll stay on SR KK and try to install some of these apps on my own. Thanks for all the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
Has anybody figured a way to turn off announcing incoming callers? See post 26, 27, & 39. Tried solution in post #27 (turning on hands-free & unselecting all options & turning hands-free back off), but that did not work...Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
THANKS!! I remember reading that somewhere. But I just turned on Voice Control this morning. I'll turn it back off to see if this helps.

Good luck with nursing school!! Looking forward to your ROM update when/if you get a chance. Between that & family, time is scarce!! Don't know how you do it, but we are grateful fkr ALL that you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I just loaded Ohh Trents s5 rom and I got a gps lock in 10 seconds. It's built off of 4.3...I guess our issues stem from 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No.. 4.4.2 Stock works just fine..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
So does SR Remix. I think it's because they're built on the Verizon release. There's no porting necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I have some good news...I left Ohh Trents s5 and clean installed tis ROM and...I have a GPS lock.

So I got a lock on a 4.3 install, then wiped on Philz and clean installed R3ds and my GPS is good to go...Odd?

Hope it works for others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I've heard of others doing that. I'm going to wait and see if it works for others. I'm a little tired of all this right now. Maybe later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
and just like that I restarted my phone...It's gone...I get 0/0 fix/sats

I don;t get it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Why am I not surprised?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
You could try this one. It might work out better for you. There's no more info on it though. nothing but a download link. I kept getting FC's so I tried the suggested Agni Kernel. That broke my camera.

I'm not going to try any more ported International roms. I've always steered clear of anything that wasn't built on the latest official release for my phone. So I finally broke down and tried a couple and found that I was right in the first place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
FOR THOSE WITH GPS ISSUES.

this build is from the nd7 ota with all the same features, is not going to be updated or supported.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Which. 4.4.2 stock? I haven't been able to find one yet that works yet

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Awesome, going to try this one as soon as I get home... Is there a thread for this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Nope it was our personal build when recreating n3bula
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
My phone hates me. I can't get this version to boot. [emoji25] Tried TWRP and Philz. Clean flashed everytime. I'm stuck at the red Verizon splash screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Did you wipe all and reformat internal memory ?Also check MD5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Everything wiped/formated except for external and the MD5 is good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
ahh.. thanks for the help, but no joy. I just have a rotten phone!! the n3bula build did not work either. I had re-booted a couple of times, adding apps and what not, before i stepped outside and tried gps.. but when i did, it didn't work. 0/0 in GPS Status app.

I was also having problems with a couple of programs... Pocket informant has a backup feature.. i tried to restore but it wouldn't let me.. then i tried t create a new backup and it told me that it couldn't and needed to make sure that the backup location is avaliable and has enough free spacke fo a new backup file.

I thought it might have something to do w/ the backup being on external SD so i did the SD fix and still it doesn't work.

damn my luck!!! i am stuck on 4.3 forever!! and I still have an open bootloader!! this sux!

anyway, thanks for all you guys do for the scene! I guess I will be at 4.3 until i hit my 2 years mark and can get the Note 4!

Is there anything you recommend i try before i go back to 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I'm using this one. It works good and I've found I can add my own S5 features and I plan to get N3 features too. I'm using the Xposed Framework and the Wanam theme engine plus Viper4Android to make music from it sound awesome. Also it is quite automated by using Tasker. I don't think I could possibly get a phone that's as cool as mine. The options are locked boot-loaders or non removable batteries and storage. I'm planning to stick with what I have.

The first thing to do when you flash SR Remix is get Foldermount from the Play Store. The first time it runs it will find and offer to fix the file system screw-up in 4.4.2. Once that's fixed it runs great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
Have you Flashed the new modem, Have you tried CWM recovery. Both worked on my phone from 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
I did flash new modem on ND7...I originally had twrp but changed to Philz after reading that people had better luck with that for other roms I have tried
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
I tried this build with a couple of apk changes and still no joy. I have a working 4.4.2 ROM with identical kernel so I suspect I may be able to find the GPS issue. I will keep you guys posted. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
The only substantial change I found between the N3BULA RC rom and my (working) rom that appears to be relevant to GPS is that the gps.conf was different. I tried fixing this issue on R3Ds previously by updating the gps.conf to what I thought was the same as my working ROM. There was still one invisible but potentially substantial difference: the gps.conf file in my working ROM has CRLF line endings while the non-working GPS ROMs have LF only. I will try this change tonight on the N3BULA RC and see if it works. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
GPS not working for my device either. Too bad because this is some great theming. Anyway to make a morph of the framework and dialer for the stock Verizon build? LOL. I know the framework-res apk won't push successfully and of course there isn't an InCallUi.apk in the stock build either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
Well that did not seem to work. Since the kernel is the same and the relevant shared libraries are the same I think it has to be something to do with some of the xposed extensions or the jar files. I will continue to poke on a more casual basis but I haven't found the magic bullet after all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blanco954:
I have the dreaded GPS problem as well, mine is very confusing in the mornings I get a lock for about 30 min of my morning drive then all of a sudden it loses lock on satellites. In the afternoon I get no lock on satellites what so ever it just hangs on trying to lock on satellites so I cannot use Navi like WAZE or Google Maps. I travel alot so GPS is a must. Never had this issue before making the switch. Bummer this ROM is awesome full of features and does real good on battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
Did you install Folder Mount to possibly fix the SDCard issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay got a new thought on gps issue? Those with working gps do you have google maps installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
I have google maps installed with working GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Ok thanks kinda doubted that was the issue but figured I would ask.

I have tried it with and without (from a fresh install) with no difference (not working). Thanks for thinking though. We'll get it eventually...it's just a processor that's following instructions, we know the chip and antenna work, so it's only a matter of time.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

I am on this one: i605vrufnd7 debloat build3. I have run it with both MJ9 and ND7 modems, and get great gps lock with both, though I feel like MJ9 is better all around for me, so I am currently on that modem. Only so-so battery life though, and lacks the customizations of this ROM, though, so I keep on trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sooner or later we will figure out what the difference is between those who have gos and those who dont. Wish I could help more but i have the l900 model.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I gave up on this rom. I also tried Skky_N3b rom. It got GPS but but there were constant FC's. So I tried the suggested Agni Kernel. That broke my camera.

I'm back on SR Remix. I've installed some S5 and note 3 apps on my own. I'll have all this cool stuff yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Hmmm. I didn't have GPS on sr remix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
It's so weird how this happens. Two of the same model phone but a rom works on one but not the other. I couldn't get R3ds rom to lock onto GPS no matter what I did. Others had no problem with it. SR Remix works great for me but not for you. I don't get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I'm looking forward the the n4. Only a few more weeks on the n2...even though I really like this phone and all you can do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I haven't even looked at the N4 yet. I guess I should. I'm worried they'll lock it up tighter than anything yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
I almost ordered the Note 3 Developer Edition just to avoid all the lockdown hassle. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blanco954:
Quick question: those that have working gps, are you guys on a locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader? I hope this is not a silly question to have asked. I just can't understand the sudden loss of gps lock on this hardware. I Sammy trying very hard to force an update of some sort. Just my two cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Gps working on unlocked bootloader.

Right now agni, but started with stock. Been trying all day to get lock...swapped out gps files suggested by la18 1 by 1 . Nothing yet.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

So .. as some others have said, my working Rom has no

libloc_adapter.so

libloc_ext.so

Instead I tried copying the rest above + the following two files which were present in my working ROM:

libgps.utils.so

libloc_core.so

But no joy any which way. My load of R3d's doesn't have those first two files either. Do you guys with working gps have them? If so, can somebody upload a copy?

As a side note, all the files which I did copy over were the exact same size as those they replaced, so I assume they were likely identical. The exception was etc/gps.conf. There was no etc folder at all in my flash of R3D's. Also, I feel like an idiot, but I can't find any option for generating a log file in any of my gps toolbox or gps status apps.

Hey welcome back....I wanted to update nephilim with the Verizon ota but is not really stable so I made this ROM instead.

Sorry, had trouble uploading the text file, so here it is on drive . The crazy thing is it worked once last night, and this morning. I don't know if a reboot caused it to work a single time each, or what. I was able to push your ROM with WiFi direct to another note 2, and an image to a tab2 this morning. Afterwards, forcestop of settings over, and over. Even tried reinstalling ROM without any modifications. Also of note, the quick connect mod didn't seem to change the drop down in status. No big deal, just reporting my findings. Thanks for keeping this going. Best ROM on our threads right now.[emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
my only issue thus far, is even though i have hands free turned off, it still speaks out the name of the caller between rings. not a deal breaker, but if anyone knows a way to stop this id appreciate it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Go into your hands free settings..turn it on then uncheck the options..then turn hands free off. For some reason just turning off hands free is not enough. Noticed this on a few other roms as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I'm new to adding themes...so I downloaded the 4×6 and a s5 theme. I updated the xposed installer and checked the theme mod. I went into recovery and flashed both files...nothing happened. Was I not supposed to flash in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
Correct me if I am wrong(often are), but I believe some of the framework has changed, and the mods may need redone. Just stabbing in the dark....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Check your priv-app folder and you will see two launchers. I believe in 3.0/3.1 the launcher name was changed. You will need to delete the stock one and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
They are all unchecked. Still reading out calls
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Updates : system ui fcs are random for no apparent reason. Random sound Alive fcs as well. I also have this ugly cutoff notication that keeps coming back. Hadn't had time to figure out what app drives this because long pressing it doesn't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
The only thing I see in System Priv-app is SecLauncher2.apk...I don't see a second launcher. Should I delete this APK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well i normally rename them ie seclauncher2.apk.bak then copy the modified apk and set permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) then reboot.

GPS status...

We've overlooked one major variable... Location!!! I'm not sure why the skies are any different from one state to another but I observed something puzzling this weekend. We took another trip to the beach but this time I was more aware of the GPS issues. For those that didn't know, I don't have the GPS problems.... until I was at the hotel in Myrtle Beach... I had a terrible time locking in on any satellites. I checked with my gps status app all over town and it was consistently bad. Sometimes it wouldn't get a lock. This was from early Friday until after lunch today. Somewhere along the way home it started to get better. I'm home now in Thomasville NC and I'm getting a lock in mere seconds. While I was down there I flashed the ND7 radio and the MJ9 radio to see if that made a difference... Not a bit. My fiance has an S3 running a custom rom I ( don't remember which one I put on there but it's 4.4.2) that locked in slowly but a little better than mine. So maybe we should poll to see where it's working and where it's not. Hopefully devs maybe can figure out why!

Btw... The GPS navigation in my bmw didn't skip a beat!

***I don't think the solar storm was the culprit either.
