hi my guys
i've a silly question! coz im a Noob
lemme explain what is my mean:
custom kernels supports init.d and we can create own tweaks and save these files into init.d directory,
for example this one :
vm.dirty_ratio=20;
i found dirty_ratio in /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio.
but when i open this file with text viewer , i see another value for this parameter!
like this : 35
and other parameters that we can write in initd tweak files!
every time i change values , when i open original file in /proc/sys/vm/ i see constant values! ( for example 35 for dirty_ratio )
i think ROM or some apps control this parameter!
it means if we change this parameters for customization , we cant see any changes!
emmm , jelly sandwich - maxio made - custom rom control this parameters??????
or you have same problems with all ROMS???????
or this is a common situation??????
sorry for poor english!
My Device : Xperia Ray
ROM : Jelly Sandwich 8.5
Kernel : Advanced Stock.587
Unlocked , Rooted!
Maybe the init.d script not properly created..init.d script must have execution lines in the script and # symbol.

You can check your init.d scripts with script manager (or something similar) before you jam them into the init.d folder. This way you can test them with out having to reboot your device. There is a pretty good tut for init.d from irridaki here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422061 It is mostly for getting init.d to work on stock roms...but it should work on custom roms as long as there is init.d support....
to change a value in /proc you have to use:
Code:
echo [I]value[/I] > /proc/[I]path/to/file[/I]
so in your case it's
Code:
echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio

thnx man
yes, i saw this pattern for setting values to parameters
ill check it plus will tell u the feedback
This must be the most asked question I have googled in a long time
There are so many results but nothing that resolves my dilemma
Without any tweaks I can access channel 13 via the router with my Xperia Ray running the latest nightly CM10
So whats the issue you may be asking, well this is the strange part
If I turn off the SSID of the router so it no longer broadcasts its name then the issue starts
My mobile will not connect to channel 13 thereafter it just disconnects
HOWEVER I have no issues with channels 1 - 12 with the SSID turned off
and certainly had no issues with Miui v4 with the same kernel installed
I have seen this happen with a few tablets but once the tablet has seen the network on channel 13 it was fine and then I could turn off the SSID
SO why do I need to turn off the SSID - because I prefer it was off in an area high with WiFi activity that's all
and I need to use channel 13 because of the high volume of wifi traffic in the area constantly changing there channels
Wifi 13 seems more stable and quicker anyhow I am in the UK and the routers in our street are all set to auto channel???????!!! why I dont know, but none use channel 13
So is there a solution to this very bizarre issue or am I going to have to leave my SSID on
SOLUTION Found thanks sirkay
Thanks to sirkay I can now access any hidden non broadcasting SSID wifi network

A simple script that is supposed to enable extra channels actually fixed my issue with a hidden SSID
-----------------------------------------------------
Channel 13 issues
[ SOLUTION: To Enabled Wifi Channels 12-14 ]
1. using Root Explorer, goto /system/etc/init.d
2. open one of your init.d scripts, i suggest first in the list (Menu > Open in text editor)
3. paste line below
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'JP');"
4. close and save
5. reboot
note: to enabled channel 12-13 just change "JP" to "EU" or "ES"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I created a fresh file called 10wifi
and add these lines
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Fix wifi channels 12 - 14
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put the file into an install-able zip and added permissions to the update_script
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/xbin/10wifi");

I copied the script and saw that actually in my settings.db the value wifi_country_code is correctly added, but my galaxy tab s with Blisspop rom still doesn't see the 13th channel...
someone can help me please?

Have a look in your build.prop file and amend as below
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=GB
ro.wifi.channels=13
now finally reboot and if it still fails you may need to change kernels......
I no longer have to bother with these settings as changing the kernel fixed my past issues
...Another solution
1. Turn off WiFi
2. Copy /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /sdcard
3. Rename /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.old
4. Copy /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi
5. Edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (using ES File Explorer) and remove the pmf=1 line
6. Save the file and make sure the permissions are appropriately set to rw-rw----, the owner is system and the group is wifi otherwise your WiFi will not turn on.
7. Reboot
8. Turn on WiFi
Found this solution on the CM12 errors list - lost of people having similar wifi issues
Tried to update build.prop and nothing change...
Opened wpa_supplicant.conf and there is not "pmf=1" written in the file..
I suppose I have to change kernels?
Thanks a lot for the help!!!
none of the above methods worked for me either

I got fed up with this and decided to go all out and install Lollipop. I installed Installed Cyanogenmod (CM12) and then Temasek ROM port. I did this at home where the router is using a low channel number. I took the tablet to work and voila channel 13 was working. No need to mess with any wifi_country_codes. I am pretty sure it would work fine without the Temasek port. It might also have worked fine with CM10 or CM11. The disadvantage to this whole process is that I don't have the same spen functionality as stock. I'm still figuring out what apps to using for my "new" Note 10.1.
[TUTORIAL] Way to Expand the RAM
There may be few rom that uses ram too much because there is tw50 or other launcher.
This Trick support All Rom
[align=center]TUTORIAL[/align]
1. log out running applications in the background such as Fb, messages, friendcaster, and other
2. use the application as necessary applications you need. Do not install too many applications. use only as needed
3. add this in the build prof
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = -17
how ?
* Open root explorer
* Find the folder / system / build.prob
* Open with text editor
* Check out everything, if there is no there.
added
ro.HOME_AP P_ADJ = -17
in the bottom
* If you already have a script like that change ends of -01 be -17
4. Restart or Reboot
5. Lastly, check ram

Hey there,
first I have to say - I'm new here - and yes, I have searched for my issue in this forum and elsewhere, but I didn't find a solution. So I decided to register here and ask you experts about helping me to fix my problem:
I'm on Epinters-Rom CM 10.1(Android 4.2) (26/08 Built) and having a problem with a fast GPS-Fix. Always when I use GPS the first time a day it lasts about 5-10Min to get a Sat-Fix. I have done some research about this problem and found this:
In a post on a german forum (I'm from Germany) for Defy Froyo and GPS bug I encountered that there are system files that contain specific configurations for GPS or direct downloading instructions of "ancillary data" (such as A-GPS Data). However, there are no configuration files with the name "location" in Epinters-Rom as they are mentioned in this thread, but I noticed a file in my system folder (system / ect / ) called "gps.config".
Doing more research about this file, I found a post here on XDA in epinters CM10.1 thread from August. Here is mentioned, that Epinters "gps.config" has no entry to an so called "NTP server. He made this entry and now the GPS fix is quick. I didnt really see that Epinter commented this, but a year before, Epinter said (at another Rom) that the NTP server entry is no longer necessary (without further explanation).
Then I remembered (coming from Neutrino-Rom) that Neutrino has had an "GPS-Addon" that was separate flashable - a fix for every single country. So I looked at the the GPS addon of Neutrino (Germany) and behold: When flashing this GPS addon it seems, that just the "gps.config" will be fixed with the following entry for Germany:
Code:
NTP_SERVER de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 0.de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 1.de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 2.de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 3.de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 3.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1 = http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2 = http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3 = http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
# DEBUG LEVELS : 0 - none , 1 - Error , 2 - Warning , 3 - Info

# Accuracy threshold for intermediate positions

# Report supl ref location as position , 1 = enable , 0 = disable
REPORT_POSITION_USE_SUPL_REFLOC = 1

# FOR SUPL SUPPORT , set the Following Following
SUPL_HOST = supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT = 7276
SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT = 3425
SUPL_SECURE_PORT = 7275
SUPL_TLS_HOST = FQDN
SUPL_TLS_CERT = / etc / SuplRootCert

C2K_PORT = 1234
CURRENT_CARRIER = common
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE = TRUE
DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE = FALSE
# TRUE for " User Plane " , FALSE for " Control Plane "
DEFAULT_USER_PLANE = TRUE
In comparison to that, Epinters "gps.config" is only:
Code:
XTRA_SERVER_1 http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2 = http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3 = http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST = supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT = 7276
Do you think I could risk simply replace the two files? Or is it better to flash the file of neutrino? Or to edit the file by Epinter right? Or at least nothing at all? I do not even want to fabricate a Brick ...
So you techies from this forum! Can you help me?
Thanks for reading this and sorry for my poor english... its not my native language!

Asmaron
PS: The Germany.zip in the appendix contains the files that would be flashed with neutrinos Rom (including the "gps.config"). The other single "gps.config.zip" is that of Epinters Rom. Simply open it in Editor/TextEdit or similar programs and you can see the above entries.

For me, epinter's cm10.1 was the first time gps lock in in about 5 to 10 seconds, even if i was inside my house...
perhaps is better (previous backup) to edit the file and change the ntp servers to match your coutry's pools. then try,..
on cm7 i use an app called gps status to force calibration of the compass and to force inject fresh agps data, which helps a little

Hey!
Thanks for replying!
I use the GPS Status App too (and tried many other GPS Apps in market) and resetted agps-data many times an refreshed it. It helps a little but just for the moment and after one day not using GPS the fix lasts really long...
I would try to edit the "gps.conf" file but I use the Atrix as my main device, so I dont wanna brick it... Do you think, that editing this file will not force an brick? And what do you think is the best:
a) Editing Epinters "gps.conf" (of course after backing up the org. file, and everything else),
b) Exchange Epinters file with Neutrinos, or
c) Flashing Neutrinos "Germany.zip"?
Or even an absolute other solution?

Sorry, that was on Gb, I edited the ntp servers to the ones off my country (Argentina). I was using root explorer at the time, but in cm10 the stock file manager can do it without problems (I used it to edit touchpad.cfg to fix raindrop bug). Only thing is you need to give it access via the app settings (can't remember as I'm back on cm7)
Hey!
Meanwhile I flashed the ROM from "Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV" where the flash is working. The fix lasts also very long and wasnt even stable. The entries of the "gps.conf" of "Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV" are exactly the same as the ones of epinter. So i tried to edit the "gps.conf":
- Editing the strings from the neutrino file (check OP), had the result that i didnt get a fix in even a half an hour.
- Restoring the "gps.conf" has the result of getting a fix after some minutes but not very stable.
- Now I have a edit of the "gps.conf" with the strings nlabrad mentioned in the post i told you before and the NTP-Server-Entries of Neutrino for germany (without blanks between the "="). Now i get a fix after some minutes that is stable, but the accuracy gets not better than 100 meters (328 feet). It stucks here and gets not better even after more than half an hour having a stable fix. To be exact it gets not better and not even worser. It stucks exactly at 100 meter accuracy.
Now i will test the GPS fix from that is mentioned here and i will report later!

Asmaron
Did it!
Hey there!
I did it!
First it didn't work to exchange the "libnmea.so" from Krystian mentioned in the post above using the integrated file explorer. I allways got an Error when editing/copying/deleting the orig. "libnmea.so" in the "system/lib" folder. After that error somtimes GPS didn't work anymore at all (cant start it) or nothing was changed to the accuracy of the GPS. Well I have seen that by exchanging the file you have to set the permissions new (chmod 644) but I wasn't able to change it without getting an error.
So I tried another way: I extracted the Files of Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM and exchanged the "libnmea.so" org. file with the file from Krystian. I also replaced the "gps.conf" with an modified "gps.conf" containing the Neutrinos Strings from the Germany "gps.conf". Than I ziped and signed the modified files with LambOfGods Zip Signer Tool (v1.1) and flashed it (wiped Cache & Dalvik).
And now: Get a GPS-Fix (indoor) in about 45 sec with an accuracy of about 4 meters! YEAH! :victory:
Thanks for helping! Esp. thanks to you andresrivas and of course Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV and Krystian and so on!

hI! I'm having hard time to understand exactly what you did to fix GPS accuracy. I'm the guy who asked Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV about the bug and I tried to overwrite the libnmea.so but it didn't work.... (I've had to flash again the rom to get back to 100m accuracy) Can you explain in a easier D) way how to fix it? I understand that you made a flashable zip maybe can you share it?
Hey there!
Well what I did exactly is:
1) Downloaded Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM (from 10/10/13) and extract it
2) Downloaded "libnmea.so" from Krystian
3) Replaced Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's original "libnmea.so" in folder "system/lib/" with Krystian's one
4) Edited the "gps.conf" of Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV in folder "system/etc/" with the strings of Neutrinos "gps.conf" for germany (!) mentioned above *
5) Ziped and signatured the GPS-modified ROM files with "LambOfGods Zip Signer Tool (v1.1)" mentioned above
6) Wiped Cache & Dalvik - Flashed and GPS worked
I've uploaded my GPS-modified ROM with the german (!) "gps.conf" here:
Based on Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM 10/10/13 wich is based on Epinters ROM with modified GPS files for Germany from Krystian and Neutrino

I can't edit the "gps.conf" for every single county. Thats to much work. But you can do that on your own! I uploaded the files of Neutrionos "gps.conf"-Tweak here so you can download it and take the strings that you need for your country. In your case, I would do the following:
1) Download my GPS-modified ROM
2) Flash it, reboot and try out GPS - I will not take any responsibility for defects of your hardware! You flash it on your own risk!
2.a) If it works fast, its proofed that Neutrinos Strings in the "gps.conf" has no real effect - you can go to step 8
2.b) If it doesn't work (fast) you go to step 3
3. Download Neutrino GPS-Files and extract them
4. Choose the "gps.conf" that is related to your country (always stored in "system/etc/" folder of the zip-file of your country) and open it with editor
5. Edit the strings in the "gps.conf" on your Atrix (folder "system/etc/" - you will see, there are the german strings) with the ones of your country from the Neutrino File (make sure that there are no blanks between the " = " of each string**)
6. Save your edited "gps.conf" of the folder "system/etc" & check (imperative!) that the rights of the file are set on chmod 644!
7. Reboot and try out GPS
8. (Hopefully) Enjoy!
I hope it works! Looking forward to hear your report!

* It is not proofed that this has any effect, but I think so, and now I have a GPS-Fix in almost a half minute.
** The effect of this is also not proofed! What I mean is type e.g.
Code:
NTP_SERVER=0.de.pool.ntp.org
instead of
Code:
NTP_SERVER = 0.de.pool.ntp.org
Hey! Did it work for you?
If not i have another suggestion:
Download my modified GPS-ROM, flash it (on your own risk), download the app "faster GPS" from playstore, choose your country settings in the app. It will modify the "gps.conf" and will set the NTP-Server settings for your country and region.
Maybe it helps... would be glad if you report here!

Came across this searching for a fix on my recent ICSROM update. I had to do the same thing when I first root/unlocked to install MROM, so that certainly helped. I noticed that the files sizes were identical, and not to the GB files, as one would expect. Anway, the issue manifested as GPS apps showing 0 accuracy, and WiFi-disabled Google Maps showing 1200m accuracy. After updating the file and chmod, it was showing ~7m accuracy.
Yup works a-ok...

I meant '7ft accuracy' above. Anyway, I tested on my way to work this morn; locked at 5ft. I did see a couple times when it lost the lock and jumped around the map, but was brief. And I recall seeing that happen on the GB rom too.
How to edit bulid.prop? I have g8 power root and magisk. I tested various programs and the changes are not saved (I installed the r / w system). Is it possible to change bulid.prop using a computer at the moment?
I have the Stylus and have achieved root using the same method, however there is something not quite right with the permissions. I cannot make changes to any root files. I'm not sure how to correct this.
Since it doesn't appear anyone has answered this yet, I spent a majority of yesterday attempting to figure it out as I had the same issue when attempting to edit build.prop.
The system files appear to be read only, although you can utilize the resetprop tool that is built into Magisk to modify the values in build.prop
1. Get a terminal emulator, I used Termux
2. Type in su
3. Type in setprop [the line you wish to add to build.prop]
4. You will require 2 arguments (see "setprop --help")
Example:
setprop net.tethering.noprovisioning
It will then request the value
Type true
Hopefully this is helpful for others.
