I am currently on Grif's CM7.1 build and i can't seem to get GPS working.
I tried the PFGPS v2.0 FIX for my country, but flashing it didn't change anything. I decided to do it manually. I am from the Netherlands, so i chose the map for the Netherlands and version A to start.
There are two files:
gps.conf that i should place in system/etc/ if i am correct.
xtra.bin should be in data/ ?
After i flashed it i can't find the gps.conf in the directory. Manually trying to copy it there with RW access doesn't work either. Any ideas?

First of all, Grif's CM7.1 is outdated now. You should flash CM7.2 by v01.
That *might* fix the problem.

Thanks for your reply. I will consider your idea, but before i need to reflash and install my apps again i prefer an advise that would fix it on grifs build.
can anyone else give me his gps.conf and maybe other files that i should have?
like xtra.bin / secgps.conf?
I'm living in the Netherlands, but i can find the correct servers myself. Just need the config.
have you tryed changeing the time servers i did that and now my gps works fine
CM7 has problem with GPS working properly.. restarting might fix the problem.. but the problem might happen again.. restarting will only solve the problem for some time..
sry for my bad english
i have CM 7.1 for a couple of months already and gps still doesn't work. I edited the file for my country using a list of servers, but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi everybody,
Could somebody be so kind and upload tiwlan.ini from a 2.1 rom please?
My wifi stopped working. I used to have 1.5. To get wifi connected to ad hoc networks, I had to edit that file and push it back using the sdk. Now that I'm on 2.1, I had to do the same. But instead of pulling the files, editing, and pushing them back, I just pushed the tiwlan.ini file I still had on my computer for 1.5. Hmmmmm laziness gets punished in my case
I could flash again, but I'd rather avoid that.
ps: I have VillainRom 7.3.2 if that matters
thanks

Can't you just grab the file from the ROM zip? Or is it only generated when running?
Also, are you aware that VR7 (aka VR10 iirc) is not the latest? VillainROM 12 might be of interest to you.
I'm on FroydVillain so can't get that file right now.
ok got it. Thanks. The file is indeed inside the rom zip.
Anyway I upgraded, so wifi is working again thanks.
I originally posted this wondering if anyone had success installing the Stock Blur FM Radio on top of Liberty (or another ROM for that matter).
I finally got it working by pushing 6 files to various locations in the system folder and setting their permissions respectively. I originally had some trouble because several of the files already existed, and I left them as-is. I found that I had to overwrite all the files with newer ones (which I got from Eclipse 1.2).
If anyone else is interested in installing the FM Radio, I have made and attached two update.zip files that can be flashed from BSR. You only need one, so just choose the one you are most comfortable with.
1) FMRadio-update_system.zip
This will install the FM radio to your /system/app folder. (The app should show up in your app drawer automatically)
2) FMRadio-update_user.zip
This will install the FM radio to your /data/app folder. But the app may not show up in your app drawer automatically. You might have to use use a file browser to run/install the file "com.motorola.motofmradio.apk" in the /data/app folder.
Alternatively, if you want to place all the files manually, you can download either zip and put the included files in the following locations (required permissions are in bold)
/data/app/com.motorola.motofmradio.apk rw-r-r
/system/app/FMRadioService.apk rw-r-r
/system/bin/fmradioserver rwx-rx-rx
/system/lib/libFMRadio.so rw-r-r
/system/lib/libfmradioplayer.so rw-r-r
/system/lib/libfmradio_jni.so rw-r-r
Special thanks to nitroglycerine33 for the files. They all came from Eclipse 1.2
What's FM radio?
The Droid X2 has built-in hardware for an FM Radio. The stock ROM came with an app that let's you access the radio. This is really useful when you want to listen to live music (or NPR etc) and you don't have good 3G or wifi service.
There are no apps on the Market that work with the specific chipset in our phones, so the functionality of the stock moto software cannot be replaced by another app.
ignore this
I was also trying to get FM radio to work with liberty.
I downloaded spirit FM radio from market and.it works.
U have to go into settings and choose one.of the.Motorola hardware for it to work right but it does work after u change the settings...
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------
Only thing is I haven't been able.to figure out.how to adjust volume...
But it does work...open spirit FM...press menu..settings...audio settings...method...choose.one.of the.Motorola ones...best.I can do...seems to turn on.Bluetooth for some reason...
Thanks ash. I did try Spirit radio, but didn't get it to work. I didn't realize there were hardware settings. Maybe I'll try it again now that you told me how.
Anyway, if you want the Stock FM Radio, you can probably follow the solution I posted above. Let me know which radio you think is better, and if you try my fix, let me know if it worked.
Thanks!

Oh no....I definitely like stock app better....didn't realize u got it working...no volume control and needs root access for spirit...stock is better....
If anyone else is interested in installing the FM Radio, I added a few update.zip files in the OP.

Sweet! Thank you.
EDIT: zip works like a charm.

Works with Molten 2.1 too.
Your zip works with Motlen 2.1 too. Thanks again!
You rock. Thanks for bringing back my radio
Has anyone had any luck getting these files to work in Molten v2? I get a parse error when trying to install. If I open them as a zip file and extract the APK's and install the FM radio icon is installed but when opening the app it either hangs or force closes constantly.

The zip worked for me with Molten 2.2.
How are you trying to install the zip?
You say tried to extract the apk from the zip. If you do that you need to put the apk in /system/app and you will also need to extract the library files from the zip and put them in /system/lib. Then make sure you set the permissions that same as the other files in those directories.

You need to use the Boot-Strap-Recovery (BSR) by Koush to install the zip. (i.e. Not the default moto recovery). If you are already using BSR, then perhaps you can re-download the zip file and try again.
BTW, These zips should work (in theory) with any current ROM on the X2, because the only custom recovery we have so far is BSR, and the updater script in the zip IS compatible with installation via BSR. Also, I doubt there are any ROMs that use different system, lib, and app folders than the ones these files are installed into. So there should be no reason I can think of that this fix wouldn't work on any of the current ROMs.
I've personally tested it on Liberty, hedwig has had success on molton (thanks for testing and reporting, hedwig), and it obviously isn't necessary at this point on Eclipse. Anyone should feel free to post their results with other ROMs.

And don't forget about the one that goes in /system/bin
It really is easier to just use the update.zip if you can get it to work
Hi all, I may be talking out of my hat but in my case I have (3, maybe 4 times so far) successfully installed the stock FM app using TB.
Before wiping and installing a new ROM I make a TB backup of both:
FM Radio 2.3.4
FMRadioService 2.3.4
And I simply restore both of these after my new ROM is up and running. Currently I have this working on Molten 2.1

Thanks for the info. It's nice to know that works on Molten.
Originally I tried to install just those two files (taken from Eclipse) on top of a Liberty install, and it didn't work. I assume it was because the lib and bin files from Liberty were not compatible with the apks from Eclipse for some reason (digital signature etc?). But perhaps that incompatibility is not an issue in Molten. Whatever the case, I certainly advocate using the simplest and easiest method possible to install the radio. If you can get away with using TB, that's great. The update.zip file is just a good, sure method that should work on any ROM.
I hope this isn't too late of a reply but I wanted to report on the above.
I have just installed liberty 3 and I used titanium backup to install the radio just as I did with molten 2.1.
It is working perfectly.
I will say that my backups are from the 2.3.4 SBF. I cannot say if backing the files from eclipse or anywhere else would work.
Hey,
I cannot activate my Bluetooth, when I try to do so (via settings), it says "Turning on" for a couple of seconds but nothing happens. Rebooting doesnt help.
My Ace is running Cyanogenmod-7-201204119-NIGHTLY-cooper
with Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111
Any idea how i cant solve that problem?
Thanks in advance!
Try a full wipe,,
If that doesn't work, reflash the ROM or go fr some other ROM
There are many good unofficial CM7 ROMs out there by some awesome developers just try one of those Why do you want to go for the official buggy CM7 ??????
I'd recommend you to use the ROM of my signature, Miracle V3 which will soon release V4.
Its awesome!
Fast, stable and haven't seen any bug.
I will try Miracle V3... Nightly was more or less "just another try".
Firstly thought that the official CM7 is quite good, but doesnt seem so
At least i've something to do right now
Now I'm using Miracle V3. I'm quite happy so far, but i need to install some stock apps (email, gallery, sms) but I'm just too stupid to do so. I've downloaded the rar from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583871 and unpacked it on my pc. Afterwards I copied some onto my sd-card. Via ES-Filemanager I opened the .apk files and tried to install it. But when it should finish it just says: "Application not installed"...
Permissions of the files are rw. Any help?

Hi Everyone!
I'm posting this here since I don't have posting privileges in the development area.
I have converted my Korean Galaxy Tab 10.1 as explained in the development section in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360588&page=5
to a 7510.
Everything worked fine.
Just one tiny problem I am experiencing:
My Wifi reception has greatly decreased after the conversion.
I noticed this imediately after the conversion but hoped it would "go away" once I had rooted the Tab an installed a modded ROM.
Unfortunately this was not the case.
Does anyone of you other "converters" have any experience with this problem or am I the only one?
best regards an looking forward to your answers

Happy new year to everyone!
Well, since noone seems to have my problem I looked into the files myself.
The wifi drivers and their configuration files are located in /etc/wifi of the system image.
I flashed the korean shw-m380w original version and did a backup using CWM. I then did the same with the original gt-p7510 version.
When I compared the filesizes I noticed differences and the content of the configuration files were different as well.
So I just replaced the contents of the european wifi folder with the contents of the korean one. I had to use a linux shell, since the file permissions need to be saved.
I copied the newly created system tar file into the CWM backup directory of the european version, adapted the the md5 hash in the same directory for the new system tar file and went into CWM and did a restore.
Worked like charm. I'm back to my old, much better, wifi reception performance.
I don't know if this is the fastest an easiest method but it worked....
best regards

i have same problem with you. can you please explain to me step by step how to fix the wifi like you did?
Hi Everyone!
I have done some more experimenting.
Since I wanted to install different Android Versions and different Kernels and the fact that the Kernel Drivers are always compiled to work with only one particualer Kernel, I needed to find a way to improve Wifi reception without having the korean drivers.
I acomplished this by just pasting the config file nvram_net.txt from the korean Android into the directory /system/etc/wifi.
I renamed the original file to nvram_net.txt.orig and pasted, Afterwards I adjusted the permissions to be the same as the ones of the original file and rebooted.
This has worked with every Android Version I installed so far.
I have attached a Screenshot of the directory and the nvram_net.txt file of the korean tab.
I hope I can help somone with this.
To me it seems that the korean tab has just a slightly different Wifi Hardware than the P7510.
best regards

After lots of reading XDA and using the many tweaks and fixes one can find here (thanks!) I ran into a problem I can't seem to solve.
I'm modifying a custom ROM (by www.jiayu.es --> version 20131203-000001) for the Jiayu G4B (basic 1/4 3000mah) for use in the Netherlands. I already applied some fixes (GPS-fix, APN-settings, SMS-fix, add some APKs) and created a flashable zip file for use with CWM (thanks to dsixda kitchen).
One thing I can't seem to implement is the replacement of modem.img (in system/etc/firmware) with an updated version that fixes frequent drops of the connection to the network. This fix is documented on the dutch site tweakers.net.
The original fix is quite simple: you just replace modem.img (using a file explorer) with the updated one, straighten out the file permissions and reboot the phone. The thing is I don't want to have to do this manually everytime I flash a new ROM, and furthermore it's fun to learn how to customize my own ROM.
So I thought I could just replace modem.img in my working folder with the newer one and be done with it. Problem is that after I flash the ROM containing the new modem.img both my sims remain offline and the only way to go online again is by restoring a CWM backup.
I already checked the file permissions and they are correct. Unfortunately google also couldn't help me find the answer. Does any here have an idea how to solve this?

So did you ever find the solution to this problem??? Did it involve taking the battery out immediately after you flash the ROM with the desired modem.img?
No it was never solved, I gave up after a while.
I don't have the phone anymore, so I can't test your solution.
