[Q] What is params.bin and can it mess up my phone or can it fix my bluetooth?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!

[Q] MIUI - WiFi not working.

OK so I'm running the latest MIUI from www.miuiandroid.com on a Galaxy S4 and my WiFI is not working. This has been the case for the last 3 or 4 updates, and I've just been living with it and minimizing Internet use on my 3G data plan.
I've been trying to get this fixed, I've tried flashing the NON-HLOS baseband package in Odin that matches the ROM, but that didn't work. I've tried flashing various modem packages, but that didn't work. I've tried the other MIUI distribution from en.miui.com but that had the same issue. I've tried talking to it nicely, but that didn't work. I'm not at a loss.
Surely this isn't a major problem? MIUI is a very popular ROM. It can't be that everyone using MIUI on a GS4 just foregoes WiFi, right?
Could someone point me to the instructions for getting WiFi to work on MIUI with the Galaxy S4? I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
- Naz.
You need to install a custom kernel to get the wifi working.
The below link should point you in the right direction

[Q] Canadian Note 3 No GPS Signal

Hi,
I have a Canadian Note 3, it is rooted and has a custom recovery on it. I used to have the Tweaked ROM which worked perfectly even the GPS. I have tried to switch over to many different ROM's and even unroot and go back to stock but the GPS does not work in any of them. However if I re-install tweaked rom the GPS starts working again. I have tried various different fixes i could find, some have no effect and some put me in a boot loop. I would really like to try different ROMs and I need GPS to work. Anyone come across this problem or have a possible solution?
Thank you
Do you at least go out of the house to test gps ? Many don't...
Yes, I went outside and drove around for 10 min and then stood in a single place for another 10 and put the phone near the windshield, but still nothing!
Is this Tweaked rom based on S5 firmware ?
If so, there is a thread on how to make gps work if coming from S5 based roms.

No I don't think it is the S5 firmware based. It is the version before that (TweakenN3)
If anyone encounters the same problem, I installed Lean Kernel and that fixed the GPS issue.

Maybe you baseband has changed? Or try to set the agps to your location .

Had the same issue. Installed CM12.1 but went back to 5.0.1 GPE: No GPS anymore.
Fixed it by flashing Stock Firmware with Odin, installed TWRP again and flashed my GPE rom again.
I tryed stock with Odin already.
Not helped

Note 3 (N9005) auto rotation does not work for any CFW

Dear Community,
I hope that this is the right place to post and any of you can help me.
My (aktual) Hardware/Software bits:
Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005)
Android: 5.1.1
Baseband-Version: N9005XXUGBOD3
Kernel-Version 3.4.108-f2fs-temasek-cm12.1-hlte-v1.25+
temaseksnappy #1
Temasek unofficial version V16.4
Build: LMY48J test-keys
Recovery: twrp 2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4
My actual problem is the following: My Note 3 by default had a 4.4.2 OFW on it, which I early upgraded to Lolipop 5.0.1. Everything works for the OFW 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 fine. As soon as I try to flash it with a CFW like CM11, CM12, CM12.1, CM12.1 (temaseksnappy), Gummy 4.4.4 I am losing the feature of auto rotation.
Of cource I did a clean flash, wiping DALVIK/CACHE/DATA and system, double time even one befor the flash, one after.
I also tried to put the battery, sim and sd out for few min before rebooting, while autorotation is manualy turned off.
Even a MODEM I flushed to fix this issue, but without success. Nothing helps but going back to OFW.
My last try was downgrading to the original 4.4.2, including baseband trieing from there to go to any CFW (CM11) as well as from OFW 4.4.2 -> OFW 5.0.1 -> CFW 5.1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375)
There was also a post about a possible missing or broken lib in /system/lib which I replaced
Nothing helps (libGNU... something). This helped me alreay once in OFW after kicking out all the junk apps, but this is a different storry and not related anyhow.
Is there anybody out there who has the same problem or even better knows a solution?
My shot would be that:
1) CM has a problem with my particular hard-/software (Kernel, Baseband, Recovery, whatever) as I just tied CM or at least CM based CFWs.
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you very much in advance.
After about almost a year I cam back, giving again a try to CM, However I still have the same issue. Finally Anybody please!
Do you have the same issue with touchwiz 5.1.1 and 6.0.1?. Not the cm/aosp roms which aren't samsung based.

Hello,
Thx for your reply. Right now I am on CM13 (temasek hlte v9.6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375
This might should be specially compiled for sm-n9005 like mine.
Everything expect rotation works fine. However The accelleration is also working fine as I tested with "sensor test". Even the integrated camera App is rotating, however the rest is not.
In addition I downloaded "adaptive rotationfree", If I set it "stock Auto" nothing happens, but if I set it to "force auto" the rotation will work exacly once and then stops undtil I force it to portrait again.
What do you mean exactly with "touchwiz"? Is this jus a different kernel or a whole CFW?
As I wrote in the frist post I tried already a lot of CFW and ALL had this issue, but the OFW ;(
What shell I flush to get this working, which is not OFW?
BIG THX for YOUR HELP
Touchwizz is the firmware that comes with the stock Samsung firmware .
Also in custom Samsung based roms .
Hello,
thx for the tip with TouchWiz vs aosp. At the moment I am running "DarkLord N5 Release Candidate 2.12" which can get find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-darklord-s6-port-alpha-t3083087
This Rom is TouchWiz Based and guess what ....
Autorotation works.
However I do not understand what the problem realy is and would prefer to run cm13 insteat. I mean even samsung devices got a accellerator within which works also fine with AOSP software, showing numbers moving while turning the phone. In addition for example on the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 it is said that this is explicite for note 3 including the model n9005. So ...
Can anybody point me to the problem or even better to the fix?
Is there any chance CM would fix this?
Regards
