I've recently moved to a new state and have been having to use my phone's GPS several times a week.
At the time I was using one of the Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot builds(sorry, I can't remember which one ). The GPS worked flawlessly. I would always update to the next snapshot build as they came out. One our two updates later my GPS couldn't seem to get a fix on my location. I tried wiping and doing a clean install of the ROM. Still had issues.
Eventually I got fed up with cyanogenmod and wiped my phone and installed Paranoid Android 4 beta 1. Had the same problem with the GPS. I tried several of the other beta releases as they came out to see if the problem was resolved. It wasn't.
So I restored my phone to stock using the Google factory images (4.4.2). The GPS worked beautifully. So I stuck with stock for a while and did the OTA update to 4.4.3.
After a while I started to miss the features and customizations that come with custom ROMs. So I wiped and flashed Paranoid Android 4.4 RC2. The GPS still can't seem to lock. On the rare occasion that it does it can't keep up with my car, especially if I turn onto another road.
Does anyone know what's up with the GPS? Didn't seen to have this issue at all on Jelly Bean custom ROMs. Is this an issue with Kitkat custom ROMs? Possibly a hardware issue? Any help would greatly appreciated.
Current setup:
Phone: Nexus 4(16gb)
ROM: Paranoid Android 4.4 RC2
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
There appears to be an issue with KitKat and GPS. I'm running stock 4.4.4 and I can't get a GPS lock. I've tried everything I can, including a factory reset. I don't remember having the issue with 4.4.3, but I've seen issues reported going back to 4.4.2.
I don't know about you, but a reboot usually does it for me.

Hello,
Tried many custom roms but usually end up coming back to the offical AOKP rom for the N4. I like the options and speed of the rom, find it very stable and use the theme engine. I haven't tried their 4.3 roms as they are all nightlies and I am always led to believe these are a bit risky for using as a daily driver. I use my phone for work and important things.
I have stayed with 4.2, but the only issue I have found is that the camera flash does not work. I have tried the latest stable 4.2 release, but then under instruction by aokp him/herself flashed the last 4.2 nightly as I was told there was a camera fix for that release. This was a clean install, I wiped and flashed.
Unfortunately I still cannot get the camera flash to work. I know my phone is not faulty as the flash works fine in Beanstalk, CM and other roms.
Anyone else experienced this?
The nightly releases for AOKP 4.3.1 are stable. Just make s nandroid backup and install them.

ThemeManager crash with Franco/Hells kernel
Hi,
Did anyone had issue with ThemeManager. It's crashing always while restarting phone. I tried Franco/Hells kernel and it happens on both. It's working correctly on standard kernel. I tried to set up stock theme/clean data in application. Nothing helps.
Hi
Not sure how many have had issues with the kitkat upgrade..
So I have been using Nexus 4 for almost a year now with a custom Rom (Resurrection Remix) based on 4.2.2
So when the new Kitkat was released had installed the initial version of the Nexus 5 port after doing a clean install and restoring the user data using Titanium Backup.. So a few days after this one fine morning the phone froze and did not respond thought just a one of case
Then this started happening every couple of days.. So i thought probably was the prob with the ROM so had tried a few other KK based roms and saw that issue was recurring..
So last week I did a clean install by installing the factory version of the ROM and then rooting it but then again the issue started..
Now because of this I m switching back to 4.3 :crying:
So if anyone has been facing similar issues or has been able to solve it do let me know
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I've had my RAZR M for just over a year now and I've had several different custom ROMs on it. Several months ago I updated to a newer CM 10.1 nightly and noticed horrible input lag. Scrolling in menus was extremely slow and apps took way longer than usual to open. I tried several different ways of wiping, flashing and installing the ROM but failed to solve the problem. I also tried all kinds of options in the developer menu and the performance settings. No dice.
I fell back to a stable 10.1 ROM until a few days ago when I decided to try the same thing with CM 11. The CM 11 ROM suffers from the same horrible input lag as the older CM 10.1 nightlies. All ROMs after a certain point have the same behavior (I don't know the nightly it started on sadly). I'd really like to use a newer ROM but the ROM is unusable with the input lag.
Has anyone had similar problems? Thanks for any input. I'll provide any additional info that helps.
Additional info:
Using TWRP 2.6.3 from here here
Getting my ROMs from the official cyanogenmod release.
I've tried many combinations of wiping everything but external SD while installing. Recently tried mounting /system while wiping but that didn't help either.
I've tried googling the problem and I've found some similar problems but no one seems to have found a solution.

The lag also happens on Carbon ROM when I tried it a few months ago.
Stock is better. We will have to wait for official 4.4 for a fix.
Some say my version of pure perfomance helps, I have not tried the cm ver much. Go dev section. Jeeko is back & said he would make a newer.
Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!

Had the same issue. Installed CM12.1 but went back to 5.0.1 GPE: No GPS anymore.
Fixed it by flashing Stock Firmware with Odin, installed TWRP again and flashed my GPE rom again.
I tryed stock with Odin already.
Not helped
