anyone test out the GPS/Nav
Works perfectly for me; only been running for a few hours, but GPS locks on quick, and most importantly, STAYS locked on.

Works great so far, messaging app is broke like other builds but glad my 128gb SD Card works fine. Great job so far! Looking forward to updates
I don't ever use stock messaging, but QKSMS is working pretty dang good, esp. w/ MMS

Great solid ROM. Love the potential of this, as it seems the OP/Devs are tying to incorporate more features. Thanks for this!!!

4g/ sprint spark? Are we getting good speeds?

Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm getting pretty much the same results... I was on stock. May need to toggle airplane mode occasionally to catch lte instead of 3g if ur going from area to area. But all in all...I've had NO data speed issues
