It's not a bug... it's the way it is now since recent Maps' updates.

You're wrong. Compass stuff isn't working - > so-crap coming with jb-leak.

I'm not wrong, you're flashing an old lib file. If evolution is moving forward, you're regressing. Maps behaves this way on both the Google Nexus and Nexus 7 (with official JB)... it is intended.
I also find your version of English hard to comprehend... might I be so bold as to suggest your consideration of Google Translate in future posts?

You sure it works this way in the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7?

On my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus, yes. If it bothers people, of course, flash the old lib file... after all, it is a #firstworldproblem.

are we really discussing a flashing blue dot?

no. it's much more about (3d)-compass-view. and it doesn't only affect maps, but navigation-apps - navigon pedestrian-mode, e.g.

I don't think so. As long as the phone itself is N7105 it should work. Do a nandroid just to be safe.

Maybe we should be (even) more excited about 4.2 rather than 4.1.2?
But most of us are still grateful that, finally we have a new ROM to cook!
What's New in 4.1.2
- Lock / Home Screen Rotation support for Nexus 7
- 1 finger gestures to expand / collapse Notifications
- Bug Fixes
- Performance Enhancements (?)

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.

Try null Rom, using it now for some time and it combines somehow aokp and Samsung features quite well

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

Missing apps after bootloader unlock

Hi all,
I've unlocked the bootloader on my HTC1, but found some apps missing such as Calculator, Flash light.
I see the same issue with HTC One X as well, wondering if it's the same case here. If so, anyway around it?
Thanks!
There is no way round it as of yet.

Android Revolution HD 10.0 missing apps
Well, I have flashed this ROM (ARHD 10.0) coming from the ARHD 9.5, in the 9.5 I had some of the stock apps like Flashlight, Calculator, Ringtone-trimmer, PDF Viewer, Teeter and Sound Recorder, but now in ARHD 10.0, I have lost the apps... What can I do to get them back?...Should I flash the ROM again?. Thanks!

yeah knew that what you meant, the liquid rom doesn't have that...not really feeling the google paly calendar. Maybe the rom just doesn't support it, either way I thought Id be the bees knees if some way the apk could be complied and added to any rom of choice
That IS the stock Google calender I don't know what stock calender you want but if it's the Google one then that's it.

[TESTING] SamsungIME keyboard

Hi guys..I've tried to edit the sammy keyboard and in particular i've edited in layout/arrays some lines that say 'recognition_time'. The default values were 1000, 300 and I have casually modded them to 100 and 30 (also other lines). I think that something is improved..but I do not know if it is a placebo...
I also asked to @mr.harsh to help me with this little project and I am waiting some infos about smali coding.
Now, can someone of you test my SamusngIME keyboard?
Please, i need testers you just have to download from attachment, copy to system, set perm to rw-r-r (644), reboot and then let me know something! (Do a backup before installing it)
Only for stock sammy firmwares deodexed.
Many thanks in advance, i'll be grateful

Also missing keys, but something keyboard was not so sensibly and fast, so I would improve it in terms of velocity...if it is possible.
I have modified some lines but i do not know if is fast for a placebo effect or is really faster. in fact I need some testers...

The launcher bug would be kinda useful man, I just don't think that having this much space on the phone storage, would one have to move an app to sdcard
Anyway, the problem about Sammy's keyboard is not you, it's Samsung itself, since the keyboard is super laggy when typing anywhere except message...
