Root CM9 / MIUI Alphas (updated 03/20)

[trenchkato]

I got wifi in cm9 to work by adding the network manually. After playing with for an hour I notice the Icon doesnt show any bars, home button doesnt work, gallery and cam fc, and screen is jittery.

This really makes me want to stop being lazy and crack open backtrack 5. First place I am going to start is the build prop.

Hroark the link for source is not working for me.

I'm pretty sure the intro mentioned that cleary

I'm pretty sure the intro mentioned that cleary

And yet there was still a question asked regarding just that.

 

[J6Remy]

Yeah I was just trying to get across that they aren't really meant to be used for daily use for someone that isn't all that knowledgeable about them.

Exactly, I was pushing your point to make sure people understand that is at alpha level.

fixed it

thanks

cm9 is pretty stable though..i ran across very few problems..the two most important of which in my opinion would be getting the 3g to work and the screen jitters to stop..its not to bad till you try and navigate through the browser..zooming seems to take a while to focus when you zoom in

 

[J6Remy]

Since 3g doesn't work on either, possibly a problem with the kernel?

I found this thread about ICS camera drivers

[Dev] ICS Camera Driver Development - xda-developers

Maybe someone with a little more experience can help.. but it seems the drivers have moved to /system/lib/hw

also the name must reference the build prop

Looking at the Cm9 build from the epic 4g
camera.msm7x27.so references lines ro.board.platform= and ro.product.device=

same goes for gps

boy have i missed a lot!

 

[PhoneMan93]

what happened to the source code??

 

[hroark13]

what happened to the source code??

what do you mean ?

 

[johnny424]

Hroark...when i try to download your file..it takes me to media fire and wants me to upload my own files..anyone els have this happen by chance?

 

[trenchkato]

Yea source link never worked for me.. it takes me to mediafire main page..

 

[PhoneMan93]

what do you mean ?

Yea source link never worked for me.. it takes me to mediafire main page..

That's what I mean

 

[hroark13]

That's what I mean

ok fixed it, should work, it worked for me, if it does not work for you, let me know

 

[PhoneMan93]

ok fixed it, should work, it worked for me, if it does not work for you, let me know

OK thank you hroark I'm going to try to github it tomorrow, I'm taking a test now for my math class that I was supposed to do last week

 

[hroark13]

for those that have an issues connection to wifi, this is how i do it


go into settings
slide wifi bar to on, wait a few secs
got into the wifi sub menu
press and hold on the wifi network you want
press connect to network
enter your key
press save

and then it should connect

at least it does for me

 

[PhoneMan93]

Hey hroark can you tell me what was wrong inside cm9 that won't let the 3g connect?

 

[hroark13]

Hey hroark can you tell me what was wrong inside cm9 that won't let the 3g connect?

had to add these lines to these files

init.sph-m820.rc

on property:sys.boot_completed=1
start pppd_cdma

on property:wlan.driver.status=unloaded
start pppd_cdma

/system/etc/ppp/ip-up

/system/bin/setprop "ril.cdma.data_state" "2"


and I un-commented a bunch of stuff in the build.prop mainly this stuff

#ro.com.android.dataroaming=false
mobiledata.interfaces=pdp0,gprs,ppp0,eth0
#mobiledata.interfaces=eth0,pdp0
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Boost Mobile
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=31000
ro.csc.sales_code=SPR
ril.sales_code=SPR
net.cdma.pppd.authtype=require-chap
net.cdma.pppd.user=user[SPACE]SPR
net.cdma.datalinkinterface=/dev/ttyCDMA0
net.cdma.ppp.interface=ppp0
net.connectivity.type=CDMA1
net.interfaces.defaultroute=cdma

Appreciate the new alpha update. Wish the release of the ICS source from Samsung(Galaxy S II) yesterday helped. Samsung Releases ICS Kernel Source–Let the Games Begin! | xda-developers
Sadly it seems it's just specific to that device. To even have this on the Prevail is a blessing. Testing as usual like everything else you have released.

 

[hroark13]

So this is what i think we need to get this thing working good


the flakey video

this is an issue with the frame buffers in the kernel, I am not too sure how to fix it but I am pretty sure we will need to compile a new kernel zImage

I had to do a temp fix for screen flickering in the init.sph-m820.rc
this it it

# Temporary hack to prevent framebuffer flicker
write /sys/class/graphics/fb0/state 1

if I do not have that there the screen flickers very bad, but this is not a great and permanent solution

non working camera
we need to find source code for our camera that will work with ICS/CM9
our camera is the SR200PC10

non working Bluetooth
I am not too sure, I have not looked into it too deeply

home button
the home button actually works, it just does not bring you to the home screen, it will bring you to the top of menus and stuff, I do not know why it does that

MMS issues
SMS works fine
MMS can send a pic, but not receive, and it does not work at all when WiFi is ON

Well I still have not resolved my CM7 MMS/WiFi issue so, I don't know


there are other issues, but I am too tired to think right now

i have a full list of things i have found hroark..if youd like me to post it?

 

[johnny424]

for those that have an issues connection to wifi, this is how i do it


go into settings
slide wifi bar to on, wait a few secs
got into the wifi sub menu
press and hold on the wifi network you want
press connect to network
enter your key
press save

and then it should connect

at least it does for me

i noticed that too..i thought toggleing on and off worked but it wasnt..saving the password i manually enetered before pressing connect is how i got it

 

[Riotpump]

that is probably a 3.0 kernel

even Code Aurora has not made a 3.0 kernel that will support our CPU
(MSM7627)

they do have support for the MSM7627-A

but that is a way different CPU, it is ARM v7

our CPU is ARM v6

Appreciate the update on the why that source doesn't work. Yeah from the limited knowledge I have already figured out it wouldn't help. Just wish they threw us a bone since they are doing it for other devices
