Rom questions 3.2.6/4.1.2????

hi
i flashed to dcd rom 4.1.2 and everything i wanted to work actually worked.
youtube worked fine and all my weather sites worked also
gps locked with 5 satellites and google maps was perfect.
my only problem was after leaving it on for a couple hours it would lock and need a soft reset.
i decided to flash rom 3.2.6 that everyone says works fine.
after flashing i was back to youtube and my weather sites not working and gps is very slow to lock.
can anyone recommend a rom between 3.2.6 and 4.1.2 that will give me the functionality that i am looking for?
4.1.2 did all i wanted ,but locked up(memory leak??)
any help appreciated

[Q] No GPS fix on any Android 4.4.2 ROM for the i337 AT&T SafeStraped with MK2 BL

HI guys ( devs, users surfers alike),
I have an S4 i337 AT&T, with locked MK2 bootloader, been on Android 4.3 since i bought this phone online, and everything was working perfectly.
I had it SIM unlocked, rooted, SafeStrap-ed, custom ROMs running perfect on t...NO ISSUES!
Ever since I upgraded to Android 4.4.2 with Deadly Venom's Magic KitKat Tool,(installed the 4.4.2 Cutsom ROM, flashed the mldmodules.zip, flashed the superuser 2.00 zip, ODIN'd the AP, BL, CP tar files right away ...everything on any 4.4.2 ROM works perfect, except 1 major THING: ==> NO GPS fix, ever! ON any of the 4.4.2 ROMs...and I tried like 8 so far....
ANybody knows how to fix this issue? I mean, I travel a lot, I need to be able to use Google Maps, Sygic, CoPilot, OSMand+, and none of them get a GPS fix!!!!
I will attach pics one is with HyperDrive RLS15 ROM (Android 4.3) showing full GPS signals, the other is with SHOstock -i v7.0 ROM, no GPS signals at all...
There will be a screenshot of the "About Device" as well ... notice I am on the MLD baseband, since I have the MK2 locked bootloader...
What should I do, folks? Flash a different modem, module? WHICH exactly, is there any fix for the GPS signal on the 4.4.2 ROMs, because without it, being on 4.4.2 is useless... rather go back to Android 4.3 ...
Im sure lots of you guys on the i337 AT&T, rooted, SS'd, with the locked MK2 bootloader have figured out a solution to get a good GPS fix (signal) on the 4.4.2 ROMs ... somebody please send me a flashable zip solution, for us who have this issue.
BTW, I live in the heart of Budapest, Hungary, and not on some remote island, so I MUST HAVE tons of GPS signals coming in and floating around me, that "Location" is NOT the issue here ...as you could very well see from the screenshot where I do get lots of GPS signals when I am on Android 4.3....
THX in advance for any of you folks out there, who can provide us with a viable solution for this tiny, but MAJOR GPS issue on the 4.4.2 ROMs.
I await your kind replies.
\\// Peace out

I've had the same problem since I first upgraded to KitKat a few months back. I've tried every solution known to no avail. It's frustrating since turn by turn nav has always been a feature I've used a lot.
If anyone has any new ideas please let us know..

So you have the same issue... Turn-by turn NAV is awesome...only if we would get a fix on GPS on our Galaxy S4 i337 ...
FOr how long did you have 4.4.2 on ur phone?

I upgraded to 4.4.2 about 6 months ago. First installed 4.4.3 about 2 months ago and have been running 4.4.4 for a week now. I've installed just about every ROM available for the S4 and did all those fixes and installed GPS apps

4.4.4 ROMs? Can you give me some examples, links to these? I would love to check them out. SO, do you have a working GPS fix in your phone, or no?

There are a few ROMs that have been updated to 4.4.4
Up until today I was running which just released an update to that version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
Anyone else have any ideas for this GPS issue??

My GPS never locks on any Rom since 4.3 except for Hyperdrive 4.3/4.4.2.
What is so special in Hyperdrive? I copied Hyperdrive's GPS.conf and it didn't help.
Maybe Hyperdrives dev can tell us which GPS files he has in his ROM to put in our roms?

THX for the links, I will stay on the best ROM there is: SHOstock's SHOstock-i v7.0 i337 XXUGNF1 4.4.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468860)
It needed a couple reboots, and GPS works flawlesly ...so turn-by-turn navigation works, be that Google Maps, Sygic, OSMand, etc. ...
FOr those of you that it doesn't work, try flashing an earlier modem ( MK2, or MDL) from RockRatts forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517)
If this helped you, hit THANKS, folks...not a big deal, ya know? Much appreciated
I'll attach some pix as proof that there is a very good GPS fix/signal

For those having gps problems give this app a try

It's always worked to get my gps going again when broken from flashing roms
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

That's problem iv been having for a while to I flashed roms, kernels, module's, Odin back to stock and apps for gps nothing works. The only thing that's working for me is rls 18 rom.

Okay seriously why is there no GPS, I am not on a locked boot loader. And I have no GPS why is there no fix and nothing posted about this. If you ask me this phone is a piece of **** since 4.4

this worked for me thanks

[Q] Which stock ROM [4.4.2] should I choose?

Hello.
I am on 5.0 at the moment and I would like to downgrade back to 4.4.2 since there are many things I do not like such as: program compatibility, no silent mode etc.
Thing is, I was always wondering and I wasn't asking is how do I figure which ROM is best for my phone based on these criteria:
recently updated
best signal for my country (Greece)
bug free
carrier-free without useless apps from carriers
greek language support
At the moment I'm downloading a United Kingdom stock ROM since it is a recently updated 4.4.2 stock ROM
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39396/G900FXXU1ANJ1_G900FVIR1ANJ1_VIR.zip/
But is it good for my phone signal?
Will it have Greek Language support?
Please post a stock ROM link if possible.
Also I'm Knox 0x0 and I wouldn't like to trigger it.

You seem like a guy who wants his phone just to work, withour lot of features. I think you should go in AOSP. Try cm11, but you also can go with cm12 which is good for daily use.
As a stock alternative the best is xtroslite ROM for me.(4.4.2)
I am on xtroslite ROM lollipop beta 3, and is perfect! but you can go with 4.4.2

Tutorial for SM-G900F and GPS doesn't work any more (and probably other models)

I'm flash lot of ROMs and latest is Twi5ed v6 and after this ROM GPS is not working
on any G900F ROMS (only on Twi5ed v6). Tried BlissPop,Sixperience,Phoenix all 900F ROMs and on any of
this GPS doesn't work any more.
Again flash Twi5ed and GPS works (damn).
So don't be lazy and I'm download latest original ROM for my model from sammobile flash with odin
and GPS again doesn't work (grrrrr damn @#[email protected]#% lot of bad words from my mouth has go out)
OK, don't be lazy again and I'm download 4.4.2 again for my model from sammobile and flash with odin again.
boot and ... again GPS doesn't work (WTF??)
so I check CSC and it's wrong CSC (bad words again), rerooted again and install phone info from google play
change CSC to TWO(this is from my operator and country) and GPS WORKS (jihaaa 3days and lot of nerves lot of cofy
and very angry wife-what are u looking in this device all day)
so.. if your GPS doesn't work check your CSC code and bring back to original or play hard like me
for insulted = and Twi5ed rom is not guilty for my situation this is rom for G900T - but I wana try
and I'm in game again and next rom will be ...
