Thanks for all your hard work GT! Followed you from the F6 forums and you rocked. Can't wait to see you make a monster out of this device.

Quick question, anyone else having problems with GPS not locking on but rather showing an old location?

For example, I'm at work out on a open parking lot, GPS shows me as being home, but then at home it shows that I'm at work.

Blu8 · Dec 2, 2015

I got that too, didn't give it much thought but this reminded me. GPS wouldn't lock on even after reboots.

zimlokks · Dec 2, 2015

Double post, ignore.

zimlokks · Dec 2, 2015

It locks on randomly after I kill and restart Google Maps but only 1out of 10 times give or take but somehow it throws me back to an old location

This is mainly a problem because I use smart lock, set it up to unlock when I'm home but since GPS doesn't work, neither does smart lock.

Question to any body that knows, before flashing katana I was going to install need for speed no limit and some other game... But once I settled katana to my liking, i precede to instal the gane but there was a banner of not being compatible but in the stock rom it was compatible and i had it installed ... Any idea what could of happen

Blu8 · Dec 5, 2015

Could be the DPI, other than that I'm not sure

SantitasHeart · Dec 5, 2015

What is stock dpi

zimlokks · Dec 5, 2015

Stock is 304 I believe, try 320

Blu8 · Dec 5, 2015

No stock is 320, Katana comes with 304

how to can i add the flashlight mod from your rom to the stock rom?
all i want is the flashlight in the the quick settings

It's bad manners to quote the entire op of a ROM thread because it causes unnecessary clutter.

Hey GT wassup you been quiet how's everything going

Ardaz87 · Dec 16, 2015

Good evening GT any update inbound? Curious on the work your were including into the build.

zimlokks · Dec 16, 2015

Maybe this has been mentioned but we can use Layers https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager to theme this bad boy!

why haven't I heard of this earlier it works like a charm

Ardaz87 · Dec 16, 2015

I've used layers but sometimes there fonts color framework color don't applies right. Has to do with ROM not being vanilla.

Blu8 · Dec 16, 2015

Layers are awesome, I bought magpie and applied just the default settings and most things are themed. Especially third party apps.

Like my work? Click the like button. Thanks

does this include the dual window functionality? I'm assuming it loses Wi-Fi calling like all other custom roms I've flashed to other phones. but I really like the dual window, must have for me.

Blu8 · Dec 18, 2015

There is absolutely no need to quote the whole op, please don't clutter like that. This is a modded stock rom, it has everything. Dual window, WiFi calling, etc.

bustone747 · Dec 18, 2015

sorry just hit first reply button I saw. thanks

Blu8 · Dec 18, 2015

I didn't mean to come off that mean spirited, my fault.

bustone747 · Dec 18, 2015

nah you good. I realize some things get lost in translation through text and if you were ass chapped about it wouldn't have given an answer in the response. in which case I'd have added an fu to my apology. lol

Blu8 · Dec 18, 2015

Haha, sounds good man. Enjoy the rom GT put a lot of work in [emoji106]
