[Q] non-TW based roms always have poor GPS performance? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've tried a few Google Edition ROMS, CM and a few other ROMS. The first thing I noticed is that GPS won't be able to obtain lock as quick or as reliably as the stock ROM. Has this been you all's experience too? Anybody else notice this?
Thanks!

[Q] Whale trail not working

Hello,
I've always wanted to play the game "Whale Trail" but I always get a glitch, I can't see any of the personages in the game (the whale, the bad guys).
I've tried this game on stock rom and stock kernel and with many other ROMs (Creeds, Jellybast, Nemesis, Hyperion) and kernels (Merruk, Hell Lock, Savie, Kuro) but it never worked properly.
Am I the only one who's experiencing this glitch? Is there any fix?
Regards,

[Q] Canadian Note 3 No GPS Signal

Hi,
I have a Canadian Note 3, it is rooted and has a custom recovery on it. I used to have the Tweaked ROM which worked perfectly even the GPS. I have tried to switch over to many different ROM's and even unroot and go back to stock but the GPS does not work in any of them. However if I re-install tweaked rom the GPS starts working again. I have tried various different fixes i could find, some have no effect and some put me in a boot loop. I would really like to try different ROMs and I need GPS to work. Anyone come across this problem or have a possible solution?
Thank you
Do you at least go out of the house to test gps ? Many don't...
Yes, I went outside and drove around for 10 min and then stood in a single place for another 10 and put the phone near the windshield, but still nothing!
Is this Tweaked rom based on S5 firmware ?
If so, there is a thread on how to make gps work if coming from S5 based roms.

No I don't think it is the S5 firmware based. It is the version before that (TweakenN3)
If anyone encounters the same problem, I installed Lean Kernel and that fixed the GPS issue.

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

Edge screen not working with custom roms

Hi. Does anybody has the same problems? Tried a few custom ROMs with different Android versions - 6, 7 - all the same - can't make my edges to work. No issues with the stock firmware. Any solutions?
Some custom roms does not have that software feature at all.
I'd say all custom roms don't have edge feeds working....
Finally, I have realized it is ROM dependent. Some ROMs have it, others don't. I was afraid that I have problem with my phone.

Microphone Issue on Custom ROMs

Hey everyone! So i've been having this issue with a variety of custom ROMs based on Android 10 where every once in a while the mic simply stops working, and I have to restart the phone for it to go back to normal function.
Has anyone figured out a solution to this yet? or a ROM where this doesn't occur?
Thanks in advance for all the help, and I hope you are all staying safe!
Me I've the same bug. No solution
