I rely heavily on my GPS and have noticed that when I use any ROM that is not based on the stock ROM then it doesn't work. Is there a fix or a aosp ROM that has a working GP for the Verizon variant (vs980)? Also what kernal includes the knock on? Thank you!

Hi,
I'm interested in getting a ROM for my Canadian Note 3 N900W8. My friend only pointed me to the Cyanogenmod website and I have no idea which rom to get. I'm looking in the HLTE section. I see nightlies with a risk that they may be unstable but under stable or milestone, there are no roms to download, and the only other option is snapshot. I've already rooted my note 3, and I'm mainly interested in getting the the GPS working with the note 3.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I use cm12.1 by temasek. Great rom. Nothing is bugfree now days but for me it works far more stable than stock rom. You can try.
Where can i get cm 12.1 (lollipop) for my note 3 sm-n900w8 hltecan, can anybody help me?
Hey! I was just going to post a question about the GPS issues I've been having with TW custom lollipop ROMS. I've tried s6 ports, note 4 ports , edge ports and all of them seem to have GPS issues. I downloaded GPS test and could never get a fix on my location . I figured it was a ROM issue so I went from ROM to ROM until I found xposed deathnote ROM for n900w8 which after flashing would acquire a signal right away . After restoring all my apps I went to flash a custom kernel so I could flash Viper and this is where I found the issue. As soon as I rebooted I lost my GPS so I started flashing kernels and finally found fulgor which not only fixed my GPS issues but is compatible with Viper.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just the custom kernels not being compatible with n900w8 hardware but the fulgor kernel has been the only one that works.
FYI I had to re flash DOC firmware for my GPS to work . Before that didn't matter what kernel I used I had no lock on my location .
Also if I did a clean install no titanium backup restore my GPS did work with those other ports. I'm not sure if it's a combo of flashing xposed , custom kernel and restoring that was causing my GPS issues. .
Sorry I couldn't provide you with a definite reason why our n900w8 are having these GPS issues, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Thanks a ton! I've been using XDA for years, rooted/modded an S2, Note 10.1 2014 and my daily driver n900w8. Like how nice and easy CM is great I can do it on an old S2. Still battle with GPS, the unified daemon, etc., but generally sticking with Lollipop. I was considering the Deathnote ROM, but I've never seen the fulgor kernel suggestion before. Will have to check it out. CM 12.1 had much better cell signal and performance, but some other stability issues. Always a trade off!
Do you notice better battery life when the GPS lock works? Still have working NFC with deathnote? Seems like some hit and miss for people. Thanks!

This is the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3117018
(Xposed) DeathNote Rom Based On darklord for N900W8
My battery is always horrible when in use but great when it's in standby so can't really say. As far as I have tried no LP rom has a working NFC for N900W8 until Samsung releases our kernel source code (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) The developer for the Fulgor kernel has stopped development and is focused on audax kernel so not sure if fulgor will give you the best results. I'm too scared to start flashing kernels again since I have my phone set up perfectly which took me hours of restoring and tweaking lol.. gl

This is one I've been eyeing. Just haven't jumped in yet. Back on stock 5.0.1 when I had a problem flashing a different ROM.
Oddly the stock ROM battery seems to have improved in the last week or so. Standby is also great.
Before that CM 12.1 was better until I got too many stability issues and crashes...
May try it this weekend. Don't use NFC much but would like to implement NFC tags, which is why I'm holding back too.

Besides ROMs built on stock tw, no ROMs support NFC. It seems like cyanogen has given up on it. Is it a lost cause?
So is there any rom (I think stock based would be my best bet) that has no important bugs? Or should I just flash a custom kernel on a stock firmware?
No there is no such perfect custom rom due to some technical limitations.
Try stable ROMS, there is more probability you find everything working there. I suggest you Resurrection Remix for personalization and CM 12.1 for stability. Btw is your choice, choose the one suits you best.

as you said the stock based is your best bet but for me i use s5 mini rom it has everything working exept NFC because s5 mini does not have that feature
This rom has probably less bugs than the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102
Best is cm11 with sev3n kernel. 6h of screen good camera(cm12 is a joke), radio and everything. No bugs no lags and finally a decent phone. If you want lollipop flavour install cm11 ideal theme from store. It looks the same. After trying almost everything it,s my choice.

Offline chaning work? Battery idle 7 day work? Thank you.
(SORRY BAD MY ENGLISH 50%)
Yes offline charging works and in cm12 also works. Only cm12.1 has that bug. Try kang cm 12.1 after flashing perharps 10 roms is now my favourite . Well i miss cm11 Camera but you can't have everything, i'm a little tired of KitKat and since yesterday we hace a good lollipop ROM with a good tweaked kernel and almost free of bugs.
I am using stock firmware 4.4.2 with xposed and some modifications. It is good and now i am going to try any custom kernel. For me, custom roms are useless especially those CM based.
a few months ago I tested out some roms but data was a crap-shoot on sprint. I've since switched to RP which is still sprint and want to try out a new rom again. So anyone have opinions on which is working well on sprint?
The best rom for this phone is also the most compatible: The Stock ROM! Just install FrankenClark Kernel and root, it's fast and pretty good on battery.
I don't know why data would be an issue on any ROMs, it shouldn't matter. Are you making sure to change the APN settings? I'm not on Sprint but I've never had trouble with ATT Data on Resurrection Remix (Probably my favorite ROM)
I stopped using RR because the Cyanogenmod base isn't as good on battery life as stock.
Did you end up finding anything that completely works?

AICP on my sprint has been excellent. 4G and all.
I second AICP, on nougat at the moment, but came from Orion OS, which is the best MM ROM I have used on this phone. EXODUS worked for me too, I prefer AOSP based ROMs, as the seem to have better battery life IMO.
Trying out a Sprint S4 (non T version), but not thrilled with the performance of the stock 4.4 ROM. Figured maybe 5+ would be an improvement, but wanted to go with something built for speed and efficiency (ie. not full of bloat) rather than let it update itself.
From what I've read, most people seemed to recommend Dirty Unicorns as a fairly clean and speedy ROM. I'm not looking for heavy modifications and skins or anything like that. Those kinds of things turn me off.
But, it seems that Dirty Unicorns is no longer supported on the S4, the links in the official thread are broken and the DU website doesn't list the S4 as a supported device... oddly, none of the Galaxy phones are listed as supported devices. Were we dropped? What happened? Is it still out there somewhere? Is there any other similar ROM that folks recommend?
I've got TWRP ready to go!

BlissPop is a great 5.1.1 ROM, CM13 is also a good 6.0.1 option. If TW is your thing, WickedX is your best 5.0.1 choice.

I don't particularly care for TW or not, I just want to make sure everything works as well as possible (sometimes AOSP roms need to be coaxed into working more than ones based on stock). Also things like Samsung's pedometer (S Health) have replaced my fitbit, and I'm hoping whatever ROM I install will still work with it.
Meanwhile, I can't believe I forgot about CM! I should have thought of that first. Those are always solid once they are officially supported by CM! But I wonder- is CM12 better on this hardware than CM13? In my experience over the years, I've often found that ROMs based on versions officially supported by the device worked better than ones that were pushing newer versions. At least CM12 is based on Lollipop, which IS available for this phone officially. But then again, this is CM we're talking about. If 13 works well, I have no qualms using it. Any advice on that one way or the other?

I haven't had any real problems on stock CM 13(officially supported device), I run SynergyOS which is cm based so I can undervolt and underclock. You can get S Health on CM ROMs if you go that route.
