Any LGMS500 Roms with 4.4+ and Fully Working GPS? (For Pokemon: GO)

[Dezan]

As the title reads I'm looking for a custom ROM where the GPS actually works, or maybe you can help me fix the one that I'm using! Currently rocking Viperdink's Kitkat mini 4.4.2 I upgraded from Xperion which wasn't a recent enough version of Android to install the App that I wished to run (Pokemon: GO)

I've searched the forums and tried a few solutions but the GPS is absolutely not responding, is there another ROM available for the F6 that runs on 4.4+?

I'm in a similar situation. Cyanogenmod11 is 4.4.4, which is supposed to be the minimum OS version allowable. It looks like GPS works? but it's not a very stable version.

yep, I also have been looking for a version 4.4 since almost a year

most versions I found that may compatible are rubbish.

Any luck here so far? CM11 audio glitches out for whatever reason in PokeGo, Carbon no vibration, KKMini seems super good and GPS initially works but cuts out every 1-2 minutes

This won't help with your situation, but my old Optimus F6 (D500) with Viperdink's KKMini rom had fully working GPS for me, and my brother was able to play Pokemon Go on it (though he said it kept force closing a lot since the phone doesn't have much free ram). I'm guessing his rom isn't fully compatible with non-d500 models of the phone.

I just installed pokemon go on U.S. KitKat MINI 4.4.2, will try it tomorrow.

With U.S. KitKat MINI 4.4.2, GPS is a little lag, sometimes Pokemon go crash or stall.

with today's Pokemon GO update 0.37.0, I can no more play with my LG F6. It shows This device,OS, or software is not compatible with Pokemon GO

Guess its the EOL FOR F6. It has served us well. I am going to keep my last one in the drawer just as m0mento.

I ended up upgrading to the latest stable CM13 and it was working fine for me. I think I may have been on the wrong ROM for my phone. I have a Galaxy S4 with tmobile and I may have been using the international / generic rom instead of the one specifically for tmobile.

Is it because they started preventing users with root from playing?

It turns out that 0.37 does not allow rooted devices. I have to download 0.35 Pokemon GO on my device.
Is it possible to unroot 4.4.2 mini or 4.4.2 beta 4?

I haven't done it myself yet, but heres a guide. Some phones might need you to revert to stock ROM so not sure what steps are involved exactly for the s4.
