GPS and led notification works in 1.3.8 version?

If you have issues with GPS follow these steps:


First of all we need to donwload the “Mobileuncle MTK Tools” from Play Store and switch off the GPS. After that, we can start with the how-to:

Open the app and press “Engineer Mode”:
After that press “Engineer Mode (MTK)”:
Once you are in the Engineer mode for MTK devices, you should go to “Location” and then to “Location Based Services”:
Now, we tap on EPO and check that “Enable EPO” is enabled and then press on “EPO IDLE”:
“EPO IDLE” will change to “EPO DOWNLOADING”, so you will need to wait few minutes to download a file, I suggest that use it with a Wifi connection.
Once EPO DOWNLOADING back again to “EPO IDLE” we can press back and enter into YGPS:
In the YGPS you will need to press on “Hot”, “Full” and “AGPS Restart”:
Now that you are done test your GPS and you should find that it is faster and more precise! If you haven any questions or comments let me know in the


I haven't test the LED notifications yet :)

Some Feedback

Haven't checked out yet, but Gravitybob/Xposed have Mods for LEDs that may work.
The rom looks very nice and smooth but has some problem:

ver. 1.3.11
Major issues:
- USB tethering is not working
- Definitely something wrong with magnetometer, gyroscope: the 'arrow' position on Gmap does not change
- Led Notification not working ( also with Gravibox tweak, so looks something in the kernel )
Minor issues:
- During installation/first configuration, keyboard was not working ( voice keyboard was displayed by default )
- Gravibox does not start -> start to work after reinstall Xposed Framework

The major problem is the tethering and compass issue.
I hope it helps

SD Card Support?

So I have an Alcatel Idol X variant with a micro SD caard reader. Just Flashed this ROM but i cant seem to access the SD card through Titanium Backup or even through Es File Explorer... Is there a way to add this feature or am I missing something?
