Well.. first I restored mu voicemail apk backup with titanium, the voicemail bug went away but after reboot the voicemail app disappeared. Apparently my titanium backup of it was the odexed version of voicemail apk.

So I opened up the rom zip with root explorer and copied/pasted the voicemail app into the system/app folder. Changed permissions to match other system apps and nowit works. I dunno. I think it is the restored data from the previous voicemail app which fixed it? It confuses me but that's what I did

Can you elaborate on exactly what you did? I tried taking the voicemail apk from the zip and putting it in that folder, and all it did was make me unable to see the app.

I can confirm this works.. I followed brittons instructions and my voicemail error is gone!
This is how you do it. 1st I made a backup of my latest rom which is 4.2.2. Next I restored back to 4.2.1. Then I made a backup of the system app voicemail with titanium.. Then back to 4.2.2 and restore data from voicemail with tb again. Voicemail error BE GONE!

By restore back to 4.2.1, did you just reflash the 4.2.1 ROM, backup, and then reflash back to 4.2.2?

When I update or change roms I always make a backup of the previous rom.. You can restore your 4.2.1 backup if u have one or reflash 4.2.1.. Doesnt matter how you do it. Just as long as you save the data from the voicemail app on 4.2.1 with titanium.. Then restore just the data with tb on 4.2.2

Well, looks like I spoke too soon. My GPS has stopped working again. Pulling battery doesn't solve it again. So... not sure what to think now.

bronder · Mar 11, 2013

My GPS is overly spotty. I am just going back to stock for the time being. Everything else was working great however!

exProphecy · Mar 12, 2013

man Virgin Mobile service sucks in my area..

this ROM is awesome though!

you could try flashing the GPS tweak here. I use that and the nos injection

EDIT: oh he changed the name to 4cyl turbo XD

My GPS also act weird. Gps test says I am connected to 6 out of 9 visible satellites which is pretty darn good considering its raining out...but Google maps is not accurate. The compass is off, I think its upside down.

What GPS tweak? All of the GPS tweaks I have seen simply modify gps.conf file in the system folder. They just change values inside the file which does not solve the problem.

miediev · Mar 12, 2013

Have you tried clearing data on Google Services Framework? It's worked for some people with GPS problems on CM10.1 on the S3.

4cyl turbo already has GPS tweaks in it but there's another GPS tweak in the second post. Hope this helps!

pdrift · Mar 12, 2013

I tried clearing Google services framework and that seems to have fixed it... my compass points in the right direction now

thanks

Another option to get GPS working could be to flash a different modem. I just flashed the Touchwiz JB leaked ROM and I had 3g stop working entirely. I flashed the GB27 modem and it started working fine. Not a GPS issue I know, but I do believe the modem affects the GPS as well; so it's worth a shot.

Here's a patch that some have used to get GPS working, it seems more extensive than just a redone gps.conf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476962 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476962

steeljack99 · Mar 13, 2013

this roms data didnt work for me at all, tried the following modems: EG30, FL26 and FJ12, sorry but i just couldnt get it to work

EDIT: wasn't the roms fault. virgins, i went back to stock to fix it and still no data, evidently my account was auto renewed last night and the data was not cut back on, i had to call virgin and raise hell and they fixed it.....sure is a shame that such an amazing phone has to be on a shitty network

Sadly from what I understand both of these fixes just modify gps.conf files, and maybe a few other gps configuration files. I may try them if I have time but at this point I'm getting really frustrated with playing around trying to make GPS reliable.

Funnily enough, my GPS has started working again yesterday evening, so once again, I have no idea what's going on. All I know is that at some time it will stop working again, perhaps after a reboot?

PS for all the people complaining about battery life, try changing the CPU governor. I changed mine from default "ondemand" to "conservative" (make sure to also tick the restore on boot checkbox). It's difficult to do an objective test, but I think I'm getting better battery life, and while the phone feels a little bit slower, it is still plenty fast enough for me.

Hey guys,

I'm kinda new to this and apologize for an off topic question, but are any of you guys noticing any problems running the cm10.1? The problems I'm facing are:

- music stutters and glitches
- battery hardly lasts if I use it continuously
- sometimes my phone crashes and I get a black screen as if it was shut off. I have to do battery pull to have it back on
- my battery starts over heating really easily when I charge it or just use it continuously

By no means am I saying this is a bad ROM. I love this ROM a lot. It looks beautiful all in all but the problems I mentioned above is sort of making me want to reflash it to stock. Anyone else having the same issues?

I'm no expert in Android hardware or operating systems, but it seem to me that if GPS works fine in one ROM, and not fine in another, the issue must be software related. Somewhere in CM 10.1 the drivers, or whatever other software that communicates with the GPS antenna is not cooperating as it should with the hardware.

It stands to reason then that a software fix like a different modem, gps.conf, etc. should work. I understand your frustration, the intermittent GPS issues on this ROM are part of why I switched to the leaked JB stock ROM. That's the reason I'm so interested in finding a fix for it as well.

Where did you get a JB stock ROM for the Samsung galaxy s2 virgin?

Specifically the file listed in the post here: [ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-D710VMUB FL14 (FL14 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Root/Stock)

At first I wasn't able to connect to 3g, but I fixed that by flasheing the Sprint GB27 modem from here: Rwilco12's Android Repository - Downloads

I screwed myself by not realizing that it would wipe the internal SD, which is where I was keeping all my backups, and everything else I had on the phone, so I had to start over from scratch. So watch out for that. Also, it has the stock recovery so you'll have to flash a kernel with a custom recovery on it.

actually yes, I've experienced the music stuttering every few minutes or so and the black screen of death (needs battery pull). however I just thought it was because of the tweaks I used: 4cyl turbo + crossbreeder. do you have any tweaks installed?

Black screen of death. Holding the power button forces a reboot instead of a battery pull in my experience.

pdrift · Mar 13, 2013

I can confirm this, whenever I'm experiencing "the black screen of death" I just hold the power button until my phone restarts. I do notice the music bug too.

Well I forgot about giving feedback on my extended battery. It has lasted me over 24 hours with light use and averages 20+ hours with moderate use. Overall I am pleased with it. I have cut a square out of the back of my s-line case to fit it.
