Help with changing radio for GPS issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have been having GPS issues for the last few months and I saw a few posts online that it may be related to 4.4.3/4.4.4. I'm currently on 4.4.4 Mahdi v2.2 Build Number KTU84Q. Some of the fixes suggest flashing 4.4.2 or 4.4.1 radio. Can someone point me in the right direction. Where would I find an older radio and can I just clear my cache and flash it in CWM on top of everything? Obviously did a nandroid. Thanks!

Solved after some heavy searching:

BT issue in JB 4.2.2

My bluetooth sometimes doesn't want to turn on, i have to reboot my phone to be able to use it, anyone having this issue?
I'm using latest version of toyes AOKP 4.2.2, same thing happened with previous version...
thanks
?
anyone?
? and bluetooth not working doesn't cut it ?
when you post a question like here is my rom and my Bluetooth doesn't "sometimes" work no one can help you. The only thing is you have to go back and look at your question, and see what it tells people reading it.
Now I'm wondering:
What troubleshooting steps was taken?
When did the problem appear? (after upgrade to a new ROM? after ...)
What is the other device's compatibility issues with my device?
Did it work fine before I came to this ROM?
Did you check the known/reported issues for your ROM before you updated?
If those issues did/didn't affect your performance/appearance on the rom then why did you update?
Things along those lines.
Does this help? I hope so ... :good:

Trying to find best ROM. Need GPS!

Question #1: GPS
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?
Question #2: Aries?!
Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?
Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?
There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.
:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!
Hi.
#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.
it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.
#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :
CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.
I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.
Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries.
Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.
THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.
I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.

[Q] Question on Synergy ROM, don't have 10 posts.

So I've been rooting and dabbling with Android since Droid OG.... great start to the post right?! At this point I've successfully unlocked bootloader and put a few different ROMs onto my VZW GS3 16GB. I currently have Synergy 4.1.2 JB ROM with the stock kernel via AROMA installer from the ROM Dev. Everything worked from the gate, but my camera wouldn't initialize. Through searching these forums, I found that if I flashed the VRBMF1 Stock Kernel it should fix the camera. When I flashed it, the camera issue was fixed! The issue that I'm running into now is that my WiFi isn't operable. I can't turn it on at all. Through more searching, I learned that others had similar issues; however there seem to be various fixes/workarounds. Due to the fact that I need to have at least 10 posts before posting this to the OP/Original Thread, I figured that maybe some of you AMAZING community members would be kind enough to assist. So... thoughts?
Baseband
I thought that I should also add that I have the MF1 modem and baseband of I535VRUCML1.
LogCat
At this point I haven't got a logcat, so if one is needed I'll have to install it and attach the output here.
fixed it
Just in case anyone is curious about this, I dirty flashed the rom again with Stock Kernel. Then I flashed KT717 Kernel. This solved Wifi and Camera issues.

[Q] Touch fix for ROMs other than Stock Oxygen and latest CM12 update?

The first touch screen issue fix was rolled out with Nightly 20150715-NIGHTLY version, which solved the issue, but had battery drain and heating issues. Then they removed the synaptic fix in 20150718-NIGHTLY update. Later they cam up with fix again with 20150721-NIGHTLY update, where the battery drain was less.
Then the fix was released with AK V-246 (http://http://ak.hiddenbytes.org/) and FrancoR43 Kernels, also Boeffla Kernel (3.0beta3) (For Oxygen OS users ONLY).
After that, god's grace, we got Official Oxygen synaptic fix, where there was less battery drain and heating issue. And then we got finally YNG1TAS2I3, where seems like everything is fixed.
So, now if I flash any other ROMs than these two stocks, how I can fix my touch issues. ROMs flashing over NIGHTLY will have the fix came along with 20150721-NIGHTLY, but what if I want to flash other ROMs like MIUI or COLOR OS or any other which can not be flashed over NIGHTLY? Are there any Kernels which got best fix over this issues, which got the similar Touch fix as in stock CM12 latest update?
All of the cusom CM12 & CM12.1 kernels have this fix. Unfortunately not sure about MIUI and KK Roms in general.

Proximity Sensor Problem 12.1

Hello guys. Basically my problem started after i went 12.1 cyanogen os(YOG4PAS1N0) from stock 11. Problem is with the modem of the 12.1 cyanogen mod my phone is getting no signal. I must add i use cloned imei so my 2g is not working. Only 3g. Maybe thats the problem so i flashed the 11's rom's modems. For example. XNPH44S's modem works like charm for signal. Yet my screen is not rotating... I flashed bunch of proximity sensor fixes yet no one seemed to work. So its either i have signal fixed but no sensor or other way around. Is there any fix for me? Or must i go to a 4.4.4 rom again? (I tried some 12x roms modems too. with them my signal also broken..)
