[Q] Accessing com.location.provider Samsung R720 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I would like to edit, compile and apply a change to the com.location.provider file on my device but am having no luck in finding the file on the phone or from samsung opensource website.
I have gone through their open source code and location.provider is not there. Does anyone know where this is on the phone itself and how I would go about decompiling it, editing it and applying the changes as a patch.
Samsung R720
Gingerbread
Samsung uses GPSD.

[Q] Need help with building CM

Hi all, I am trying to build android from source (Cyanogenmod) for my phone Sony Xpreia Pro (iyokan). I am following the instructions at wiki{DOT}cyanogenmod{DOT}org/w/Build_for_iyokan (I haven't posted a lot so I can't post URLs ). During my build I need to do one additional step. I need to pull the proprietary files from my device. This is where the problem comes in.
I found that there are 4 files which the extract-files.sh script cannot extract. This causes problem in the build process and the build process stops without completion. The files which the script cannot find are:
/system/bin/calibrator
/system/etc/firmware/wl1271-fw-multirole-roc.bin
/system/lib/libc2d2_z180.so
/system/lib/egl/libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so
I found wl1271-fw-multirole-roc.bin at "/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/" instead of "/system/etc/firmware/". Is it fine to modify the "proprietary-files.txt" to have this path instead of the "/system/etc/firmware/"? I am not sure if the functionality of both the files is same.
Also I found a file called "wlan_calibrator" instead of "calibrator" in the same location. I also found a file called libGLESv2_adreno200.so instead of libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so
Would it be fine if I change the name in "proprietary-files.txt"? Again, I am not sure if the functionality of the other files is same. I couldn't find the file called "libc2d2_z180.so"
I really don't know what to do and would really appreciate if anyone could help me on what I should be doing.

[Q] Deplyoing Comet on Samsung Galaxy S-II-GTI9100G

Hello everybody,
I want to study the the offloading behaviors in mobile computing. For this purpose I have Downloaded the modified CM-10 repo provided on the comet page (www-personal.umich[dot]edu/~msgsss/comet.html) .
Now the problem is I cannot extract the proprietary blobs as there is no extract-files.sh script available in the source-root/device/samsung/i9100g/ folder. And If I leave this option and go away for building directly than the ROM zip produced did not work and results in Black Screen of Death.
If somebody has experienced and can sort out what I should do to produce a correct zip file is very appreciable.

New Samsung Gear app with non samsung phones

Hi, new samsung gear apks, both 2.2.20 & 2.2.21, have new assets folder and resource.xml and rules.xml files in it. In rules.xml i have added the codes nonSamsungphones=true. I just changed the original rules file with 7zip. Edited with notepad++. Signed with Advanced ApkTool 4.2.0. Also signed SAsystemproviders, accessory services, gearmodule, gear plugin and a few apks and installed them too. Program could detect the Gear S and pair with it. But Endless Connecting issue appeared. Tried to adb logdata and see things but nothing for me.
My phone is xiaomi mi note 3. Still hopes to use gear s with my phone. I think a more skilled user could solve the puzzle. Best wishes and regards for any progress.
Can you upload somewhere this modified app ? and we are talking about Gear S (SM-R750) watch i hope
Sorry, just saw the message. Yeah it was sm-r750. I dont know where are the files for now, It was not working by the way. Soon probably i will try again with new apks. Maybe i can make it clear this time.

Extraction of code lines

Hi folks,
do you know if it is possible to extract all the code lines in an Android phone, including the OS codes itself? I want to do it to make sure whether there is any malicious app in my phone.
