Root CM4DX Network Location Fix w/ CRT mod

[yawdapaah]

Next up is network location. I need someone (brave) to verify that coarse network locations works.
Props to the D2 guys. I didn't even think that the problem could be framework related. I just happened to google CM7 and network location. Their solution was to load the sholes framework (which would obviously fail for the DX). Knowing that it was a framework issue, it was pretty easy to find out the responsible xml and copy the fixes from the 596 framework.

To fix this, I had to edit strings.xml in framework-res.apk and add the following:

@ config_networkLocationProvider to
com.google.android.location.NetworkLocationProvider

@config_geocodeProvider to
com.google.android.location.GeocodeProvider

I also changed this one but I don't know if it's required. I saw ppp0 in the test menu and aLogcat so I figured it was necessary.
@config_datause_iface to
ppp0

All three of those values were set to @Null

Here's the flashable zip - CMod7_Fixes.zip Please mount system before installing.
Here's the .xml file for those that want to do it themselves - http://www.mediafire.com/?d2e55hde8h8x8qp

I added (read Kanged!) the CRT mod as well. Thanks/props to Webst3r @Rootzwiki for doing that.

Is this for the latest nightly? I'll give it a go if it is!

 

[yawdapaah]

Yes, I'm on V6 and it worked for me.

Going to try this now, will let you know once I am done.

Seems to be working fine so far, Fancy Widget picked up my location right away!

Wow, that was an easy fix if indeed it does work......I guess the hard part was finding the culprit

 

[Kevmueller]

Yep I will confirm that this works as well. Tried Rainy Days and Weather Bug and both find my location right away. Great work on this!!!!!

@yawdapaah

I haven't really looked at anything for CM7, I just barely installed it for the first time about 1 hour ago

Anyway, is the CRT mod the same as always, by just simply editing bools.xml?

Apparently. I've never cared too much for it so I never learned to do it. I just kanged bools.xml from Webst3r and added it to my framework.

Oh ok, it's not difficult at all, it's simply a matter of changing a value from "true" to "false"...........you're not missing out on a great learning experience

 

[drhill]

Very nice.

 

[imronburgundy]

Dude, you're on fire. At this rate CM7 will be out of Beta in a week!

Any way to change the T-CDMA 46 logo to like Cyanogen Mod or something else?

 

[Woodrow]

Just installed. Foursquare is now working! Thanks!

One VERY minor issue, I changed the carrier banner, and after installing the zip, it is back to reading "T-CDMA 64"

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

Tried Radar Now as well and it is fine again. Let's hope it gets into a nightly soon so I don't have to flash this every day. LOL

I used JRummy's root tools. It changed the network logo fine.

Well worth the buck fifty just for this option. I changed mine to my forum name.

Sweet just got it thanks for the 411

@yawdapaah

Thanks! nice find.


@Steven58

Sweet app, thank you for the tip.

I did this manually by decompiling and compiling the apk

I made all the changes that yawdapaah described in his first post; it helps me learn it.

I also made a zip that applies the camera fix and this fix (coarse location fix), I also changed the network tag to "Cyanogen Mod", and I added the change that has the screen turn on when you disconnect the phone from charging.

I'm not sure if we get 10% increments on this I forgot to check (I'm way out of the loop on CM right now), but I'm also going to change the battery to a green slotted type with 10% if it doesn't already have it (haven't done the battery yet though).

 

[cabraswell]

Thanks for the awesome work guys.

Don't know who found it but +1 on the find.

 

[bcltoys]

Changed a few thing's but how do you change network logo using root tools.

Bo, Now that you're on cm7, will we get to see a BWC theme for it?

Maybe later, there's too much change going on right now.
