my maps application is basically non functioning since upgrading to the 6.x versions. takes forever to load, locate position, some street names get visually distroted somehow, etc.
im running the latest cm7.1 and the latest maps app. i've cleared the data on the app, even gone so far as to clear the dalvik and reboot in hopes that it might have some effect. it hasn't.
i've decided to try to downgrade to cm6 to try out the updated maps app and it runs totally fine there.
what could the possible solution to this be?
fyi this is an example of the street name issue i am having. this isnt limited to street names either as some of the data layers seem to just render wonky.

Try a different rom possibly? Or just stick to the old maps? :/

I have the exact same problem here.
Sometimes I even have an orange colored square layer on top of the map.
Would love to have a way to downgrade the Maps version on this rom.
Here is a screenshot of what I described in my previous post.

rhapsody, i researched this pretty thoroughly on here. the general consensus is to downgrade to a non 6.x version of maps.
some suggest 5.5 is the version that worked best on the hero. 5.12 was the last version released before moving to 6.x. so yeah, just google "maps 5.5 apk" or whatever version you want and you'll find it.
the second part of this is that i have given up on ginger based roms. after doing a bunch of flashing back and forth between cm 6.1 and 7.1 and installing multiple different versions of maps, i concluded that all versions ran better on 6.1 and the whole interface was much snappier.
good luck
Yeah I also tested that lower version of GMaps works much better.
Thanks for your replies guys.
Now I'm wondering why all devs keep on including maps 6 in their roms ...
I also tried to revert back to a 2.1 rom with maps 6 but ended up with the same issues.
Will stick to CM 7.1 and try to downgrade Maps to V5.5.

I have installed CM7 203 from 200, just to see if that would fix the issue - it didn't:
Ever since the Nook APP updated to 2.7.2, it doesn't work right. it opens up, in much larger fonts than before, and when you hit the mag you want to read, there is no longer a list of issues from newest to oldest - now it seems the issues are all overlaid on top of each other and only the oldest is reachable.. which of course is no fun..
any suggestions?

installed an older version of nook app, and the problem remains. I guess the CM7 200+ resolution change screwed this up.
back to CM7 nightly version 175.
Cleared nook app data and I can now see the latest issues
Okay, this was very helpful... I was having the same problem and couldn't figure it out... Back to CM175 for me too...
Thanks
If you switch to screen density 161 it fixes the display, the only problem is, you'll run into market issues. It's a way to fix it temporarily, but I'd like to see if anyone can solve this one so I don't need to switch density back and forth just to read a magazine. And I don't really want to step back to an older nightly.
I'm having the same issue. Bump to see if anyone else has any ideas. I'd like to install CM7 to the emmc instead of using the uSD card, but not if I cannot select my magazines.
This is using both nightly build 213 and the stable 7.1.

didn't work for me... same issue
just installed LCD Density app from market and at 180, the nook app is fine for magazines, but not books. I get "this title cannot be viewed on this device"..
Just for kicks, has anyone tried an old nightly to see if this is an app problem or a CM7 problem?
I put nightly 86 here if someone with magazines wants to try....

Updated to the new nook app in the Android market and still the same issue. Any thoughts?
Ok, so I'd had two ICS ROMs on my phone till date\
Quarx's CM9 Nightly for Defy+
Fuzz's CM9 euroskank kang for Defy+
I was able to install Chrome Beta and Stable on both these ROMs, but am unable to render any page in the browser. Here are some screenshots

Connectivity to my data network is obviously not a problem since I'm being offered search suggestions and the progress bar is loading.
My build.prop already has the ICS id in it.
I've browsed the forums and people have suggested that this problem is caused by the lack of Hardware Acceleration(HWA).
So can anyone either guide me on how to go about fixing this? Or maybe a suggest a full HWA enabled ROM for me?
Thanks!
Chrome is not yet stable on any cm9 rom.

Thanks for replying, but stability isn't even the issue here. I've actually never been able to get a [age to render despite having no trouble installing. I've seen other people on custom ROMs using Chrome.
Anyway, is there no ROM out there supporting full HWA?

No.
Chrome doesn't work on any rom.
Regarding hwa, the closest we've got is epsylon3's rom ,where barring few apps like (play store,chrome etc) ,everything else works.
but still its a no go for chrome !
chrome will NEVER work on the defy/defy+. epsylon stated that our froyo/gb 3d driver lacks some opengl extensions chrome (and ics/hwa) would need, and with the locked bootloader we cant implement the ics driver. sorry to be the one bringin the bad news. :/

Hi All,
For those that do not know anything about Fused Locations app, a small history:
I install the [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean - I9000 [RC2]
The problem was that it stuck in boot loop.
After many cleans, wipes, and whatever is there before installing AND factory resets the outcome was:
I used app quarantine, to disable the Fused Location App and it seems that the slim bean does NOT start if you disable an app that "locate your position through GPS or wifi to save battery"?????????!!!!!!!

I decide to check more 4.2.1 roms
Results :
Fireworm
RemICS JB 4.2
TsunamiX
Backed
AndroSlim
ALL with the same issue, you quarantine that app they are not working.
ALL CM 10.1
If there is a NON CM rom, please, suggest it and I ll try it.
I went back to Slim Bean 4.1.2 to realize that you can not use that rom because the keyboard is crushing and without a keyboard.
BUT, I had a keyboard.apk and I manage to run the rom.
PS
In the next couple of days, I ll try with back up versions of 4.2, 4.1 and the help from Titanium Backup, to use as much features of the 4.2 to the 4.1. I ll also can post the apps that I blocked with "app quarantine" and my phone is stable, fast, good battery life without any issues.
If you like to see all that please leave a comment

I kind of hoped that I m not going to debate irrelevant questions, but, what kind of thread you think it is?
People come to dev post to install software to their device. If that software is monitoring them as the stock rom do, at my point of view it may be a reason NOT to download the "new shiny roms", (roms that belong in dev).
If there was something like it, where do you suppose to find it? FAQ?
you took my advice and tried other roms then thought it would be down to google :thumbup:

Hey Guys,
I've been using PureSpeedX (KitKat) 3.0.8 as my daily driver for a long time. I love its speed and stability, but there is one thing that really urks me, and that is the 3G/HDSPA connectivity!
I'm using the latest version of PSX available for the Mako, with baseband version :
M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98
I'm also using the default kernel that comes with the rom.
Now, here's my issue:
I am with Wind Mobile in Canada.
I live in the Hamilton area, and the connectivity on this phone is always acting up.
or example, I'll have full bars, and once I try to open anything, 2/3 times it fails, and the third, it will finally go through.
When It is trying to connect, I see it sends ~ 110b then just goes to 0 while still in 3G mode, and this happens ~ 5 times before the app I'm using times out. (don't know if that helps)
Again, this is while on full signal bar.
So, any tips? Am I using a bad baseband? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!

Backup, flash a different ROM, and see if it works properly. If it still doesn't, then try changing the baseband.
Did it work normally on the stock ROM?

I thought the older ones than .98 would have issues with KitKat?
Also, I have tried 4.3, and it seems to run fine (Although, I used a LTE Hybrid Baseband with it, I'll try using it instead of the regular .98)

Hi. Anyone using this ROM outside Middle East region on their Note 2's? I flashed this ROM a couple of weeks ago, but the device started to get serious lags and freezes, even restarts! I went back to UK ROM but the problems still persists. I don't think there is a physical damage to the device as I never carry it around, only use it as a second mini tablet on my workspace for reading additional documents. There are almost no games or other software on it, only a couple of social media apps, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber etc. I did a full wipe and reset each time I flashed a ROM but the problem is still there? Did this ROM cause this? Anyone having problems with Middle East ROM in Europe and UK? I was ecstatic to learn that Note 2 was patched with Security Updates (which was my main reason to go for a Z5 Compact last Autumn, I wouldn't replace my Note 2 if only it got Security Updates, I couldn't care less about newer features on newer Android builds) but it messed up my phone Any suggestions?
Good rom for me!

I'm not having much problem with it here in the US. Some occasional reboots, but I'm rooted and encrypted so there may be other factors for me. Pretty stable. The combination of having the security updates and device encryption keep me on this rom. If anyone has been able to get device encryption working with CM 13 on a Note 2 let me know how, and I'd probably switch though.
Do your factory resets first, then flash with Odin. Try running it for awhile clean, I avoid the Facebook app. It's also possible you got a bad download.
Best wishes,
I am running the rom for a week now runs perfect no crashes or anything!
does it still look like the old note 2 4.1 ? and do I just flash it like any custom rom? what would happen to the root?
