Like its been stated when it cums to "mpcs"none of there phones are built tha same internally so I think that's why ppls results of this rom are hella different.

I have pointed this out before that there appear to be differences between the revisions with regards to GPS fucntionality even though the primary files all seem to be the same size (but maybe with different dates). There could be library differences though that im not aware of.
As youre having startup time issues, its quite possible that the metropcs admire does not support AGPS while the newer vitality does. You may want to test to see if your are recieving agsp data. You can request it via GPS test but at the same time you should have logcat or similar app running to test to see its pulling the data which only takes a matter of seconds.
Remember when your testing Standalone GPS fucntionality to go into airplane mode so that there is no location support from the Data network otherwise triangulation will also occur here, auto agps support may also be provided as there are gps chips in the cell towers. In addition ensure that wifi is toggled off as youll receive an approximate location via your IP address (whatismyipaddress.com).
I guess you could fash EH02 stock or EH09, i think there is only a nandroid backup only for the latter though, and then install this rom. If youre on cricket, flash the corporate utility and then this rom.

I use mixzing media player. Its built in eq is great and is compatible with beats audio. It comes in free and premium forms but the only difference is ads.

my ROM comes with a DSP manager that can achieve the same results as the beats audio mods (more or less). Conversely you can install my beats audio flash zip (located at the bottom of my original thread [follow link in OP Post]). I have had great luck with is not crashing any apks that use EQs (albeit the eq's are useless due to the beats audio mods).
Good Luck!

I found it on droidpirate...I copied and selected each icon and changed each one on the screen only...I didn't use an icon pack
I just flashed the room and tried restoring the APn file but i still cant access the internet. help? I did flash the MMS Fix also after I flashed the OS. Does it take awhile for my browser to work after a fresh flash? I didnt get any 492 errors, I see a 3g icon and bars, just cant connect on my browsers. My google play store works and everything.

Good Luck. Hopefully someone is still awake that knows something we don't. I just tested, my MMS works. So RECAP: MMS works, Google Play works, email works, browser does NOT work(tried stock and dolphin browser).

Try Opera. I had a similar issue not too long ago, I guess certain browsers access the internet differently.

On an unrelated note, I can't get MagicLocker to apply any kind of theme besides a lockscreen. Its OK and all, but I want whole themes :/

I tried Opera Next and for some reason that one does work. Do you have any idea why? Default browser and dolphin HD dont work.

I have no clue, there has been some roms that only Dolphin Mini would work on, others only Opera. Wheird
Well I thought I would say thank you for this great rom. I love how it is built and runs. It is much better than all the roms I have tried, I intend to keep it.
I also will say that overclocked it runs perfect, the only issue I personally have are as follows:
1) When I exit a phonecall (press end) I occasionally see my phone automatically restarting. Not so much a issue for me as I rarely use my phone for calling, more so for text and internet which have zero issues.
2) I am running eh02 baseband and my Gps is off, not much, but it shows me a street over whenever I run it. If I am looking at the map in static mode, not compass mode, it shows me a few meters off to the left on all areas. Not a huge issue also as I do not rely on gps but I thought you should know.
3) The fact that I have no other issue is a issue to me, it upsets me. I am clearly angry that you have done such great work......

My support is limited for MetroPCS, since I am on Cricket Network. I have a donor mpcs phone, but obv. no service, so there are a lot of issues I cannot address. I'll help where/when I can, but ftmp you Mpcs cats will have to rely on eachother to help get issues solved.

So how can we fix the connection for the browsers
Once again. I can't test it or recreate the error, therefor I can't solve it. Ergo, you'll have to rely on mpcs community to work on a solution.
I did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and then I flashed the rom. After the rom finished flashing, I flashed the MMS Fix, and when the rom first booted up, I waited like 30 minutes before I tried to open the stock browser. After I noticed my stock browser was working, that's when I connected my googleplay/email account.So how can we fix the connection for the browsers
The only problems I've run into might not be related to this rom. I cant connect to my phone when I setup http or ftp file sharing with file expert and after I put in the newest holo plus launcher to replace the old one, tv off animation is gone. Has anyone bothered putting adobe flash on this rom yet?
