Root [ROM] GingerbreadCM7

[joneidy]

Well the most awaited rom it`s finally here.

Pretty much everything works, but The most important thing that is the phone does not work . Assadullah and I were trying to get it to work but we could not.

So we decided to release it as it is to see if any of you guys can get it to work.
The rom is a copy of gingerbread from optimus V modified to work on the M. Other issue is that when you flash you need to go cyanogen mod and disable sreen animation; to make the lockscreen work correctly.

**Don`t expect it to be done or finish, because we are not sure if we are going to work on it**

Damn I hope it gets resolved, would be nice to have. I may play around with it, at the moment I dont have service, bill needs paying.

 

[new optimus]

double post

 

[new optimus]

I can tell you why it has no service. It is looking for service on Virgin mobiles network.
Go to the settings/about phone, then Status and scroll down to network.
It shows unknown but if you press it it will go into searching for service then show virgin mobile then back to searching then back to unknown.
It will do the same thing with Mobile network type, it will say CDMA-1XRT then to unknown, and back again.

cheers to hoping this works, i'll see what all i can contribute to this project !

 

[new optimus]

I can get service, by disabling data however it is trying to use virgin mobile and it errors.
I doubt it would work, as the esn would not be in virgins system but I dialed *228 and it says it needs to be activated, and your phone is being programmed.

 

[new optimus]

Thought I would take a couple of pic's

So am I to understand one of the reasons it not working, phone side, is due to no information correlating with metro?

Would the right thing to look for is associated files and how to change them to identify metro systems? I'm thinking it's written throughout the OS in various spots... but if you know each one... well you get the idea. Looking online for anything regarding this. any good search words to help look for this info?

 

[asadullah]

My guess right now is it can be fixed by digging through framework.jar for starters.

Read this it's quick but it will help you to understand how the radio works

 

[reppard]

What about editing the build.prop?

What about editing the build.prop?

That has to be done as well but It doesn't help

Thank you once again to all who have contributed. This is a very nice thing from people who do not even have to give us things to play with and yet they do. Much love from California...

I have seen these settings and how to change these settings for the droid on metro. These can't be all that different. You could probably just read them off a phone once you see where they are below and mimic them in the new rom.

I do not claim responsibility if you damage your phone, proceed at your own risk.


You will need:
-CDMA WS 3.5 (2.7 will work) GOOGLE
-Android SDK http://rapidshare.com/files/38466371...04-windows.zip
-Root Explorer (optional) Android Market
-Hardware Virtual Serial Port http://rapidshare.com/files/38466156...ngle_3-1-0.exe
-Motorola A855 USB drivers http://rapidshare.com/files/38465759..._bit_4.2.0.zip (32bit Drivers)
-Autostart.sh and U2nl (thanks to whiterabbit). Download precompiled arm binary. Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\
Android - whiterabbit.org
-Autostart (Root) from Market
-NV Items from whiterabbit.org
First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.

Root and ROM: Please Root and flash a ROM before you start this tutorial. If you flash a ROM after you may lose your settings. I recommend Adamz or Bugless Beast because I have confirmed these settings to work on these ROMs.

Now that your Droid is Rooted and has a custom ROM, let’s get started.

NV Items:
Go to Android - whiterabbit.org, enter your10digit#@mymetropcs.com as the login string, click 2.7 or 3.5 depending on which version of CDMS WS you have then click generate. It should download a text file. These are your NV items.

Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.

Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port

In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port you wish to use and click Create COM. (For this tutorial we will use COM5)

Open CDMA WS and connect to COM5.

On security tab send SPC 000000.

Go to “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items and select them.

It should then say NV items were successfully written to phone.

Go to Main tab and click mode reset.

You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.

Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart (Root).

Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.

Click on the Verizon APN and edit everything to match below. If there are no APN’s create a new one:
Name: metropcs
APN: internet
proxy: wap.metropcs.net:3128
port: 3128
username: 10digit#@mymetropcs.com
password: metropcs
server: wap.metropcs.net
mmsc: http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
mms proxy: wap.metropcs.net
mms port: 3128
mmc: 310
mnc: 004
auth type: not set
apn type: not set
Or:
Name: Metro
APN: internet
Proxy: wap.metropcs.net
Port: 3128
Username: 951261559@mymetropcs.com
Password: metropcs
Server: *
MMSC: http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
MMS Proxy: (nothing)
MMS Port: (nothing)
MMC: 310
MNC: 004
Auth Type: (nothing)
APN Type: (nothing)
I have tested both settings and both are confirmed working.

Now click the menu button and click Save.



Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file and autostart.sh in this folder c:/android/tools

Now go to the command prompt on your pc and type the following commands:
cd c:\android\tools
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push c:\ android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
reboot

If you are having trouble with adb try this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q55g7...os=7LHqeHzqzxY
-If there is no opt folder to paste autostart.sh in, create one.
-If it does not let you paste u2nl in /system/bin click Mount R/W


Now, once your phone has rebooted, you should have working web, app, gps, and mms. If you don’t go back and check all the steps to insure you did everything exactly right.

At this current time you must have WI-FI disabled on boot for autostart.sh to run.

anyone know why it is boot looping??

 

[nomorefear]

Its not happening with me. I guess I am lucky. Issues I have found: does not recognize the accelerometer, going into cyanogenmod settings> system settings> any option besides the changelog fc, overclock settings also unavailable. I'm going to try the thunder kernel. Has anyone used the above settings to access metro service?

 

[astaccz]

I think the best way to even But im pretty sure that they will need the phone to run tests on. We can start some donations or if anyone has a spare optimus m send it to them. They will definitely work on it for us. Those devs are awesome. I sent them a message about it. Lets see what they say back.

Honestly if you were gonna send a phone to anyone I would suggest cyanogen or a member of teamdouche. They are the ones who are the best at this and wake up eating android for breakfast.
I got the phone to work or so I believe just gotta run some tests.

well your issue is this

lol wow xD, its just a little joke x)

i've tested this rom, it didn't boot loop with me but it might be an issue with your download, try and redownload it first to see if thats the issue, if its not then i'll see what i can do to help you. personally though this rom is no where near usable for everyday. so i suggest laying back on it for now if thats your aim

If anyone has restored metro network settings then let me know. It shouldnt be hard to do and if it comes down to it then I suggest someone who actually has a metro plan to go test out the zip file found here ..... I would help but I do not have service on my phone. I use gingerbread most of the time because almost everything in it works. I wish the accelerometer worked but that only really affects a little bit of my apps like Google Maps compass and some of my games...

well my findings on it so far are that, through LGNPST, all my metro network settings remained the same, nothing there was altered, as far as apns goes, im pretty sure it wasn't changed, that one seems to be codded in somewhere outside of the OS, *as i've found its also not in APNs in the stock rom.* but V-mobile is saved into its apns and i can't seem to get it to remove or add one, my guess is its a system file thats not right, telling it to connect to the wrong towers as "home," its not the PRL either, i'll work more on this rom on my free weekends though because i rely on my phone for business too lol.
