[Q] [PROBLEM][MIUI V5 ROM] Google APPS (GApps) BREAKS GPS FUNTIONALITY

Hi! I just flashed the MIUI ROM on my Note 3 SM-N9005.
Everything was working well except the GPS. Any application that needed my location was not able to get it. Maps, foursquare and other apps did not work. It also was not able to get my location through wifi. Please help! Thanks!
Here are the orgininal ROM information for my Note 3 if it matters:
Product Code: SMA
PDA: N9005XXUEND6
CSC: N9005OLBEND1
MODEM: N9005XXUENC2
Also if it matters on the same day I flashed Cyanogenmod (didn't like it). Then X Note S5 Port (almost good, but didn't like it). Then flashed MIUI. Does that make a difference?
OK I found out the problem. It's the GAPPS I installed. Can anyone provide me the correct Google Apps (Recovery Flashable) so I can access the Play Store while not breaking my GPS? I've tried so many GAPPS... all broke my GPS. I found out because when I tried loacting with the weather app before GAPPS were installed, it worked. When the GAPPS came in, the GPS broke. Please help! Thanks!
I've also tried installing through the MIUI Market's Google Installer. When all the apps were done updating, GPS still broke. Please help! Thanks!

Gapps
You don't have to flash Google apps, you just need to install from their miui market. Just search Google. It's first result

SoundAlive and Soundcamp FC on DarkLord Note 5 Full Port RC2.1

Hello everyone.
I have an SM-N9005. I tried to use Soundcamp on ROM DarkLord Note 5 Full Port RC2.1 and i found out that every time i tried to open it, after some seconds of loading, it Force Closes. After some research i found out that this might be connected with SoundAlive. When i tried to enter the SoundAlive settings from stock music player, it also Force Closes. Do you have any idea how i could restore the SoundAlive functionality so i could use Soundcamp?
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem, but I think this happened because the device recognize itself as note 5 (sm-n920c) which have 64bit cpu. when you install the app, it load the this version which is not compatible with the n9005.
Same go with the new s note app.

As above and you can use the included Viper4 Android sound mod .

Thank you very much for your answers @golalmo and @JJEgan!

[Help] choosing the right rom for my needs

Hello guys! fist thing, I searched for the answer on other threads but can't find what I'm looking for. Basically I'm a newbie in this sort of things, I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and now I seek for a good rom for my phone. I felt the urge to do so because I wanted to get rid of the stock apps (like chaton, s health and so on. I tried to uninstall them with system app remover but they keep coming back as soon as I turn on the Wifi) and to have more control of my device, but since there're so many roms I got a bit confused, especially when it comes to kernel stuff etc.
I want a stable rom (with a normal battery drain) which gives me the possibility to use the S-Pen (I use the stylus often for taking fast note and stuff) and NFC.
I really liked the DarkWolf rom which basically convert a note 3 into an S7, battery life is good, S pen works fine BUT seems like it comes with samsung bloatwares and NFC doesn't work.
So, is there a rom that respect my needs?? what about the kernel? which one should I use??
thanks in advance
PS. My note 3 is the N9005 model,rooted, running official Samsung android 5.0

Go for AryaMod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
If you by any chance don't mind about NFC then I'd go for Phronesis - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910
Both have solid battery life without the need of tweaking the kernel. The kernel is good out of the box.
About your problem of apps installing back then why don't just disable them from Settings- Application Manager or disable auto download updates from play store. Since your are rooted you can use a root explorer and go to /system/apps and /system/priv-app to delete them completely.

Remove bloatware via Titanium Backup Pro .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels use the one that comes with the rom .

First thanks for the reply I can overlook NFC if Phronesis is better or has additional features than Aryamod however is there something good based on marshmallow?

Marshmallow ports has lots of bugs and battery drains a bit faster than LP though not that much. I'm currently on Darklord S7 Edge Beta2 port. Though all basic things are working like Wifi, BT and Data so I can do stuff with an internet. Camera has bugs like modes are not working only the stock capture and recording.
Some bugs for marshmallow based on darklord's rom, some are already fixed in bete 2;
- Always on not working
- Sound alive not working
- Sview not working
- Some camera mode not working (hardware limited)
- Hotspot not working
- Do not disturb time setting FC
- Handwriting not working
- Direct input cant change language
I think Phronesis rom has more features since its a Note5 port with a little touch of edge feature. I'm quite happy with it overall. It's the rom I'm using when going out of town or out of the country. The thread also has a Q&A section so you can find things faster when you encounter a problem. It also has some alternatives for NFC in q&a.
Ah totally forgot about Titanium Backup. As @JJEgan said you can remove bloatware from it as well instead of manually deleting them using a root explorer.
EDIT:
Phronesis rom comes with a kernel so you don't have to worry about them. It is good out of the box without tweaking it. For Arya I forgot already, maybe it is using the stock kernel and that is the reason why you have to flash official rom first before flashing it.

Thank you bratboo and JJEgan for the help. I think I'll give a shot to Phronesis waiting for a more stable marshmallow based rom

ROM with stable internet/GPS

HI everyone, I've note 3 N9005, I have tried many ROMs recently including RR rom and the teamesk CM12 ROM... I've 2 problems with both of them (on both of my Note 3 devices):
1. Unreliable internet access for apps: I don't know why this happens but I notice it especially with Facebook, I try to refresh and it takes forever without refreshing, or it gives back the cached feed, however, when I open facebook.com using chrome I can see everything, this is really annoying...
2. GPS doesn't fix, it knows where I'm, but it doesn't fix for navigation, even after using FasterGPS!
If there's another stable lightweight ROM that has none of these problems, just name it
Any help would be appreciated...

Try a rooted stock ROM with bloatware removed.

I use the stock ROM (Android v5.0) with TWRP recovery, SuperSU and the newest version of Arter97's kernel. Everything works.

Samsung based roms are less likely to have GPS/ Internet problems .
I Never ever had a GPS or Internet problem .

For gps..update ur bl and cp to latest italy firmware
Mine got 2 or 3 second to lock..very fast

Hi,
Am using my Note 3 (SM-N900V) with KitKat OS only for watching videos and listening to music (No Internet, WiFi, or Phone).
There is some bloatware that would like to remove and have used Application Manager to stop them and does not cause any problems but have to do each time I start.
