[Q] The problem of GPS and firmware "I9000XWxxx". How to decide? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tell me why with firmware "I9000XWxxx" not working GPS?
Tried to take KERNEL and "modem.bin" from the STOCK firmware, but it does not help

If we knew why it wasn't working, dont you think we would have fixed it by now....

This is a very very bad...
And there is not any hope will solve this problem?
I just need a language that is not in the standard firmware

You need to replace the correct lib's & bin / File to fix gps on the I9000 builds.. if there 2.1 this it's fine, we don't have the file for 2.2 currently to fix it..

I installed the firmware I9000XWJM8, stock modem.bin and stock kernel. GPS does not work (everything else works fine).
Then install files from thread "[Q] update.zip from JI5 GPS files" or thread "[FIX] GPS files ripped from leaked JI2, flashable zip" (forum does not insert links)
GPS is still not working
I no longer know what to do....

Moved to the Q&A sub forum.
As far as the GPS goes, make sure you are using the matching GPS libs.

Unfortunately, I do not know so well Android.
Therefore, ask for help.
Can someone give the necessary files for the GPS from the "stock" firmware?

The fact that the firmware "I9000XWxxx" is not the same file structure for "GPS".
In the archives - the files that seem to be responsible for GPS.
LIB only one - "libgps.so"
BIN is located in the folder "gpsd" and his name is "glgps_samsungJupiter"

Looks like I found a solution to the problem
And so it is very easy
Naturally need "root"
Files from the archive, to lay the appropriate folders. One file with the replacement of "libhardware_legacy.so" (because of him and then had a problem). Reboot. Its all
Tested on Samsung Vibrant with CODE_I9000XWJM8, CSC_I9000OXEJM1 , modem.bin from T959UVJI4, stock kernel

OK guys, today I'm very happy day. First time i can fix my compass revert issue. I used your "Fix Accelerometer Lag.zip" file, but its not work for me. I don't know what's the reason. But i use my brain. Actually this is what i have done.
I have FXP 133 CM9 ROM, so that i extracted it into my desktop separate folder.
Extracted your "Fix Accelerometer Lag.zip" file into my desktop separate folder.
Then i use your zip as basic and search its similar files on the CM9 (actually i use file names).
Collect all the similar CM9 files using your "Fix Accelerometer Lag.zip"
Using winzip i delete "Fix Accelerometer Lag.zp" file one by one and replace files that i collected from CM9.
Than i flash it via CWM.
Wow finally it work friend.
Your method, i can't see these two files in the "system/lib/hw" folder "sensors.goldfish.so and sensors.semc.so". So i added them.
This file also not available on CM9 ROM "libsensorservice.so" ("system/lib) so that remove it.
I think your file contain some files not work wit WT19 series. I'm a completely noob, so i attached that file with this post. Please check it. Unfortunately there's one issue, compass respond little bit slower than usual, but not big delay. So how do i fix it?

[DEV HELP] help for build ics

I don't know anything about your phone, but your zip file is incorrect.
You want to put all the files except META_INF into a folder called system. Look in META_INF/com/google/android/updater-script and you will see this is what the recovery is expecting.
Also, add a boot.img since it will try to flash that as well.
This is what the root directory of the zip file should look like:
Code:
[email protected]:/android/work/moto/zipper# ls
boot.img META-INF system
[email protected]:/android/work/moto/zipper# ls system/
app bin build_proj etc framework media usr

I read that thread a little- it looks like a lot of people trying different things. Also, use post numbers because it's page 17 on my computer
So, where did the updater-binary and script come from? The script has to match the rom, but I think the binary is a lot more forgiving. I think a binary from another ics or gb rom should work. Your phone uses yaffs, so maybe an older binary? I thought a lot of the ics devices were moving to ext3/4?
I think the stock recovery won't work. Usually, they will only accept zips that are signed by the manufacturer.

I cleaned up the system and added the boot.img. if you can get the /etc/recovery.fstab from your recovery, it might help since the partitions might have different names.

I think that is an error with the update binary. Maybe you can get one from a similar phone? It should be pretty generic, as long as it uses a similar file system/android version. So try to find a binary from an ics device that uses yaffs/MTD.

yes works but the boot.img is bad thank you
I thought this was the stock firmware? Could you just put in a similar ics kernel and see if that works? A kernel from an ics moto phone might work, but you'll have to change the ramdisk.

the concern is that the bootloader is locked

you have ideas on how to bypass the UNLOCK or

Do you have a copy of a working boot.img or kernel? Even a dump from a running phone would work.

my boot.img
So the zip that I uploaded flashes, but it doesn't boot?
I think your working boot image is GB or Froyo and the new one is ICS. So maybe if I take the kernel from the ICS boot.img and add the ramdisk from your working one, then maybe it might work.
Maybe...
This is the new kernel with the old ramdisk. Again, flash at your own risk.

[Q] Long Sms converts to mms, disable?

Hello guys, i am experiancing a problem with my s2, when i send a long sms with the stock app, it automatically converts to a mms which then charges me. I was wondering if there is a fix or mod for this?
I have tried searching but replies involve using a 3rd party sms app which i prefer not to.
I am currently rooted, on stock ICS 4.0.4 with Siyaah Kernal 4.1.5. Thanks
You didn't search very hard did you?
Admittedly you'd need to move to a deodexed rom.

You don't need to move to a deodexed ROM to use a deodexed apk file.
If you're on an odexed ROM, all you have to do is:
1. back up the current .apk and .odex files for whatever app you're replacing - in this case, mms.apk and mms.odex (unnecessary, but highly recommended)
2. replace the existing .apk file
3. delete the existing .odex file
Edit: forgot 4. Reboot. I think this will also cause you to lose all your existing messages though.
Well I've learnt something! Thanks.
I assume existing messages could be replace with Titanium back up?

Are you referring to the link that Ben81 posted above? I only see one Mms.apk in that thread.
However, usually the rule of thumb is it is best to use a system app apk that most closely corresponds with your current build of Android to ensure maximum compatibility.
EDIT to add: I just noticed you said you're on stock ICS 4.0.4. That mms.apk in the link from Ben81 was tested on VillianRom 1.1, which is based on XWKE7 - which is Gingerbread. I would NOT try to use it if I were you.
EDIT 2: Ah, I see there are mms.apk files sprinkled throughout the thread, instead of all being compiled into post 1. What I said above regarding compatibility still stands. Look for the version that most closely matches your Android build version.

porting roms from s3 i9300 to i9305

hi im currently in process of porting a stock deodexed rom.
i have changed system files and the update script.for out i9305. at moment i am able to install the rom fine and loads up with or without wipe. i also included the ee modem.
my issue is that when the rom starts all is ok and there are no force closes however i get no network and imei shows null. to resolve this i just flash param.tar in odin and stock file and all is back to original with imei restored.
any ideas on whats causing the loss of imei number
in setting imei and baseband showbas unknown
edit whilst restoring to stock i did not have to restore imei backups so am asuming efs part is fine

i am really into this thread. I opened a thread similar at the beginning but they moved it, hope this one stays in here otherwise it will get lost in the i9300 section...... this is really good lets all try get into this, like i said I am going to play around on monday when i return home, so far we got everything going exceept the Modem is not connecting to the Imei correctly, We need an experienced dev.

Try merging our system and framework so it picks it up as our xxali5 or xxali9 you have to get rid of there base and put our base instead but leave the edited files so maybe the system apps folder stays the i9300 as the apps are the same i think but change the rest into our firmware hmmmm so maybe a better idea would be to have a blank deodexed and zipaligned xxali5 rom move and overwrite our files with the edited files of the i9300 that way all our efs and imei doesnt get touched

Basically there are some intensely different changes within the services.jar, framework.jar, android-policy.jar and so forth. 4G LTE is sooo much different than the stock i9300. I am not saying it CAN'T be done. But I am saying it is going to be a complete bastard to do. Put it this way, you'd be better off looking into all of the modifications that have been done to create these ROMS and re-doing them to the i9305.
Trust me, I have looked into doing this with a "customised" build to from sources for ICS for the P7320T tablet that I had. It is the only 4G tablet released here in Australia. The closest I could find in sources for being able to make the connection was grabbing settings systemUI and the others I have listed above ^^^ from the S2 4G LTE. Then I was going to have to modify the systemUI specifically for tablet mode.
I no longer have the tablet nor the patience to want to take on anything like it again.
All I can say is good luck. Feel free to check my threads to confirm that my choices are not a conflict of motivation or lack of determination...god I can assure you that much
Just for a tip. I started today with decompiling the android-policy.jar file to see if I could enable the torch app double click home from lock screen feature....this has been done on i9300 right? Go take a look at the full guide on how to do it...go decompile 1 file that I am talking about and you will see just how different the methods are in all of the smali code. JOY!

What tools are you using to "port" this ROM to our device?
I have tools that can port ROMs in about 30-40min.
What have you got in the build.prop for this thing? Do you want to upload the ROM for me to take a look at? The least I could do is offer some help before raining on your parade lol.
Have you considered doing maybe a "splice" of the ROM. Rather than porting the full version, you could do a diff/compare of the modded ROM against it's stock counterpart. Then you migrate those changes over to your "stock i9305" base. That is going to be your best chance of doing this I reckon? also you won't be able to copy across the firmware version. That won't work. Your framework and the firmware version are going to be device specific.
The absolute best thing I can think of suggesting is to go with a known base equivilant?? Like it seems that there is a release of XXALI5 (for touchwiz at least?) on both devices. That would be where I would start first and foremost. I would port with that common version using what I described above and then migrating any further or additional functionality (developer made i.e. Wanams mods) that have been done since the XXALI5 release.
That is going to be your best bet.
Or you guys could just wait for me to release my ROM haha...subtle promotion? I think not.

Exactly
I have a methodology that does this very easy. I wanted the OP to upload his work so far to save me a download. But I might just go ahead and do it anyway.
Have you guys got permissions from Wanam to use his work? I will ask on your behalf if not. He is a great contributor to this forum, I don't wish to have him offside.
What I mean is that I will go ahead and play, but I won't re-upload any test files to the forum without his consent This shouldn't be too hard
---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
Contacted Wanam. I will wait to see what he says and recommends. I have claimed I am not releasing anything of his, so this can be owned by you guys who want it. I am happy to help get the ball rolling to help yous though. I have my own dev team that I work with so that makes me kinda busy. That is why I haven't released my own ROM on here yet lol
Downloaded XXLAI5 Wanam, Downloaded XXLAI5 stock i9300, have already downloaded XXLAI5 stock i9305 and I am currently deodexeding it as we speak.
Will deodex i9300 XXALI5 next and then do a comparison to Wanams. Segregate changed files - > port to stock deodexed base = Wanam i9305 for you guys
That's if Wanam approves of course?
EDIT: Hey Mr OP can you please contact me? I cannot send you PMs? Holy smokes you've been around this place since 09!
Ok Analysis done on Wanam compared to stock XXALI5 and have all the of the files seperated and within their directory structure that had changes.
There is going to be some work needed to be done on these main files:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/framework/framework2.jar
/system/framework/services.jar
/system/app/systemUI.apk
As I expected
Now the fun n games start I will decompile all of these files and then diff them against the standard i9300 smali coding and then *attempt* (and I say that with all great intension too) to migrate the changes across into decompiled i9305 files.
I can tell this is going to be a head ache!
Otherwise though....I can honestly say that what I have got so far I know for certain will boot and you will not have baseband issues. You won't however have 15 toggle mod as it stands. Services.jar and Android policy.jar both control this feature. I see that this *IS* available as a mod already on this forum but I am not certain that the creators realise that these modifications (mentioned here) actually do need to be performed.
Lidroid-res.apk within framework will have no rights to control the toggle on the systemUI cause it won't have permissions due to conflicting signature checking. note...toggles may appear, but they won't do anything when you touch the widget toggle, it will be non-responsive.
Thanks guys
Thats what i said we should just try copying over the whole system app folder and replacing it with our deodexed rom. Try doing that as the firstt step

System app is fine, but that isn't where the changes are that make Wanams ROM. You'd have your self a standard ROM otherwise. As in no difference. Or if you just copied the system/app folder ROM would boot but systemUI would force close. You would also have no reboot menu and no USB read from the phone. That would equal disasterous....cause as we all know we don't have SD mount in recovery do we?
Fancy doing an adb push on a phone that doesn't install USB connection files?
See I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that without having at least a clockwork recovery backup lol.
It's ok. for the android.policy.jar they are identical (well for XXALI5 they are anyway) to the i9300. So simple trade in there.
Only 4 more files to go and I will have you guys a port
Wanam still has not contacted me back yet though so I we need approval before anything.
Reset scrolling caches. In framework2.jar
This took a bit of work because my notepad++ kept crashing running compare. If you guys ever have this issue, right click the executable in program files go to properties and compatibility and then check the boxes for:
- disable visual themes
- disable desktop composition
- disable high dpi scaling.
Apply.
No more crashing. Windows 7 aero apparently doesn't like the compare dll?
Anyway not related. I am back on track. last jar file and then it should be ready to package up and it will be the same as Wanam ROM XXALI5
Got approval from Wanam. Just about to test flash now. Will upload it here if everything works out
Well, I had a few mishaps with my own device. Namely no root access and also lost hardware ID...meaning no Android Market. This all happened sometime during my lengthy list of modifications so I was not sure where. That mean flash back to stock and restore my data bit by bit until I was set up again. This take for EVER!
So yeah no real feedback from anyone in here so have decided to finish off my own ROM instead. XXALI9 (newer) and a heap more mods than stock Wanam. So far so good.
I can upload what work I did on getting Wanam's up and running (I have not flashed it yet) but will wait till someone actually wants before I go ahead and do that.
Thanks guys
James
