I'm sure many of you are already using @kessaras great AOSCP Oreo Rom!
One small current issue is the ril-daemon sometimes needs to be stopped and started to make your sim card and cellular work properly. In the past, you could just reboot, or stop and start the daemon from the command line. But now you can just tap a button! That's right, just a simple, easy to use app that stops or starts the ril-daemon when you tap the buttons.
This app requires root permission!
This app is open source, licensed under the Apache 2.0, and you can check out the source code here:
https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/app_ril_control
You can download the app here:
https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/app_ril_control/blob/master/app/Ril_Control.apk
Get it on the Play Store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alaskalinuxuser.rilcontrol

No, I didn't try this app. Color and so on is fine for me.
But I had to reboot very often due to missing sim detection and I'm happy that I don't need to do it anymore.
This will surely save folks the hassle of using the Terminal to restart the Radio Interface Layer.

Just wondering if the change is supposed to be instant when I press the button. I have a newly unlocked H812 and it takes sometime ten tries to get it to work
Hey it is possible to add a function like automatic restart the ril-daemon with different time settings?
Like restart it ervery 24 or 15 hours.
I have problems with my G4 on LOS 14 Roms the ril stop working after different hours.
Hey @AlaskaLinuxUser I am curious, can this be used for newer ROMs? I am using LineageOS 15.1 and experience mobile data drop off all the time. I would like to use this app (Google Play pulled the app, I used your direct download link) to see if it would help.
Any issues doing this?

Yes, I was using it on aoscp Oreo, so it should work on 15.1. :good:
Yes, Google Play is pulling a lot of my apps. Root apps and apps for 32 bit phones are harder to keep on the Play store.

It should work. It may need busybox or toybox installed, which were on the original ROM I built this for.... Of course, root is required.
Let me know how it turns out.

Hmm, I don't want to get in over my ski-tips here.
I am new to rooting. I was tired of an older phone with a poorly performing operating system, so I travelled down this road to revitalizing my phone - without spending over a thousand dollars for a new one.
I do not know what busybox or toybox is, or if it is incorporated into this LineageOS operating system v15.1 for the Samsung SM-N910V.
I do have root, managed by Magisk Manager v17.3, and use TWRP v1.21 build 34 for recovery.
I do not have a recent backup or anything like that, as I am a noob and use this phone as a daily driver. I don't want to really screw anything up by installing this app. Do you think there could be incompatibilities that could cause issues? I am trying to avoid continually backing up all of my data and files to my computer, as it takes forever. (yeah, I realize that developing new stuff is a gamble, but I am trying to find stable things already built )
The only issue with this ROM is RIL instability when switching towers, and going into buildings that forces the data connection to go from LTE to 3G, and that is when I lose data connection. I have to restart the phone every time, and I end up having to do this a lot while driving and travelling for work.
What are your thoughts?

This app will not cause you any trouble. It will either work, or will not work, but will have no detrimental affect on your phone or files. I'd recommend you give it a try. But it is always up to you.

I took the leap, and while out and about today I installed RIL Control. And guess what, it worked! I was able to kick the data connection in the butt and it reconnected.
However, I have a big problem now. I got home, and turned on wifi, and it doesn't work now. The toggle switch moves to on, and then right back to off. I cannot get the wifi to turn on! I restarted the phone, and it still won't turn on. Bluetooth works just fine.
So, now what happened? How do I get wifi to work again? Honestly, I need wifi more than data connection at this point.

Odd. The commands in the app only stop/start ril-daemon, which has nothing to do with WiFi. WiFi is wpa-supp. So I'm not sure if that is connected to my app. However, if that is the only thing you installed/changed, then I guess that would have to be it.
I'm guessing restarting the phone didn't work? :fingers-crossed:
You could always uninstall my app. But if that doesn't work, I guess you would have to load a backup of your phone. I just don't see how my app is affecting the WiFi.

Correct, installing and using your app is the only change I have made, and I have never had a wifi issue in the month or so that I have been running this custom ROM.
Restarting the phone 4 times did not work. I may have panicked haha.
I did boot into TWRP and wipe the Dalvik cache.. and whala, I booted back up and the wifi worked.
I'm now afraid to try your app again when I am out and about, but maybe I should to see if this same condition happens again? What do you think?

Well, if you have a good backup, and since wiping dalvik and cache worked before, it might be worth a try. Was the WiFi on when you used my app? As always, if you are worried about it, you should play it safe. :good:

I compiled this for someone at DroidForums and I figured I would post it here.
In order to complete all of these steps, you will need:
ROM Manager
Titanium Backup Pro
Root Explorer
SetCPU
Odin v1.3
A file manager like Astro to install the APKs.
SetCPU can be downloaded here for free: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
It can also be bought from the Market. The others also need to be purchased or downloaded.
In order to root, follow the instructions here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate-rooting-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
Here is a link for Mac users: http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...s/34188-rooting-using-mac-video-tutorial.html
ClockworkMod Recovery Installation instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 You can also flash the new recovery with Rom Manager, but for now, I recommend the recovery in the link.
At this point, you should be rooted with CWM Recovery. Now, it's time to install Froyo.
Follow the link here, and you will find Odin files for quickly installing EB01: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html
NOTE: You will need to wipe when you go from 2.1 to 2.2. Be sure to back up everything before the upgrade.
Now, you will need a rom. I would recommend SuperClean by Adrynalyne: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910921 It includes a kernel and there are Voodoo and NonVoodoo versions. This will remove all bloatware, including TouchWiz and Bing. However, the browser will still search with Bing. Then, use the themes sub-forum to find a theme.
You can use ROM Manager-Download-sonofskywalker3 to find all sorts of options. Stock apps, de-Binged browsers, new boot animations, widgets, etc. Anything you didn't want removed can be downloaded there.
If you need to return to stock, you'll need to use Odin. Ask any questions in this thread and I will do my best to answer them. You can also post a thread on XDA(make sure it's in the right section!), or visit the IRC at: webchat.freenode.net channel: #samsung-fascinate
I take no credit for anything here.

I just deleted all these apps. Am i in trouble when froyo comes out?
It looks like wireless tether doesn't work for me, and I did delete 3G Mobile Hotspot, so maybe it makes sense to go slow at this before jumping in. I'm not having any problem connecting to wi-fi, though, so if that's all you want then maybe you'll be fine. I use backup assistant so I can't comment on what could happen if that's deleted.
Freezing/hiding apps seems to be the best way to make sure you aren't looking for backup apps somewhere...

Yes it is. That's why I recommend it. I also find it easier than moving them to the SD card with root explorer like a lot of people are doing, but to each his own.
EDIT: I tried Wireless Tether, and it started just fine. I didn't try connecting anything to it, but I know it at least starts. I can't tell if they blocked tethering or if deleting Mobile Hotspot affects it.

My iPod wouldn't connect either. I would try my computer, but I don't have a wireless card anymore since I moved the router up here and am wired into it. There's gotta be something to do. I played around with the channels and nothing worked.

Here's the system dump: http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/32839-fascinate-system-dump.html
I have removed [moved] both Backup Assistant and Mobile 3G Hotspot and I have no issues with Wireless Tether. Before assuming Mobile 3G Hotspot is the cause of your issues, try verifying Wireless Tether works for you beforehand. There was a thread dedicated to Wireless Tether not working by a senior member only to find out it was user error.
There's more than one way to move/remove apps and I'm sure we all can confirm deleting .apk files is NOT the best option. I've used Titanium Backup to freeze apps which I could not locate the .apk for, but I prefer moving the .apk files. This is because I've been in a force-close loop after moving a file and the only solution would be to move the file back and reboot the phone. This can be done via ADB. If you freeze an app and you get in a force-close loop you may not be able to use Titanium Backup's GUI to un-freeze an app.
I move to the SD card to free up space on the phone, which comes in handy if you're replacing stock apps from other places. Plus, it gives me an easy view of what to move to/from the /system/app folder if I need to put apps back when there is an OTA (or if someone asks me "what apps did you remove?")
Move/rename/freeze... pick your poison, but please don't delete.

Yup. If you delete, you have to handle the process of moving apps from the system dump. I don't think a factory reset would work, since the apps aren't there and it has nowhere to restore them from.

The lag fix seems to have very mixed results. Some people say it has caused lag, some have trouble un-doing it, some notice no difference. So I haven't taken the risk. I also need the internal memory it takes away. I would consider it if it would fix those occasional stutters and freezes, and actually make a difference.

I love the app, but it seems like every time I flash a new ROM and restore the app it doesn't work initially.
To fix it, I usually disable/enable CTP from my PC
AND
On my phone, open the app, menu > Settings > Disconnect phone.... this produces a popup to allow the app... and it does NOT disconnect it...
ironically, that is when the app starts working again. I LOVE the app and use it daily... is there an easier method to get it 100% working?
I also have this issue every time I flash a new ROM.
What you need to do is just go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Chrome2Phone>clear data
for some reason, even tho I back up user data before I flash, I still have to clear data before it will connect again.
Little pain and you will also lose your history log but this method does work, trust me, I'm one of those people who are addicted to flashing the newest greatest ROMS lol

Hi!
I am using DSC's ROM (on 1.7 ATM) and I sometimes get a "flashing lights" and immediate reboot when my phone tries to use location services -I can't be sure if it's GPS, WiFi, or both-. I think I flashed the right BB when I installed the ROM -there was a batch script that took care of that if I remember correctly-, but quite frankly, after having spent many hours around the forums, not being sure what to do exactly, and having a bit of fear of bricking it/whatever; I'd rather ask beforehand. So:
What should I do?
About phone says:
BB: GAUSB1A1406214-EU
Thanks!
try disabling > use wireless networks
it should be inside > location & security settings
something similar..
I just did; the phone crashed and it's now rebooting. I was running logcat at the time, but nothing relevant showed before the reboot.
well... usually try using dsc 1.0 and see what happen..
there are reports that google maps is the causing of the problem though.. i dont use it btw...
Oddly enough, I've just tried several apps which use location services and it has not yet crashed. It's not getting a fix since I'm indoors, but at least it hasn't crashed yet...

Try installing the latest version (2.1) or DSC 2.0 they have less or even none issues. Don't forget to wipe caches and fix permissions.
The behaviour didn't change when I upgraded from an older DSC ROM to 1.7... Why would it matter exactly? Were there any bugs corrected on that release that could affect the location services?

I can't really be sure about it, but... wasn't that change already present in 1.7?
How long could it take, and how hard would it be for a n00b like myself (although with some programming experience) to add some logging output when the reboot *would have* happened?
Thank you really! I'm getting more and more interested in this!

Hi to all....
I'm running Nightmare 1.6 and all is working perfect... The only problem I have is with the app Magic Jack.... I get this message: "The installation associated with your device is invalid". I can't setup my account or do anything... It use to work perfect on Nrgz... I tried to install it with Titanium Backup without any luck... This app is very important to me... Please, let me know if there's a fix for this or if you need more info to helps me!
Thanks in advance!
if your app has problems with your current rom settings.. then it could be that it doesn't work on your current rom... you have to keep in mind when the companies that make these apps don't make them for custom roms... so maybe some settings might be off in the build.prop or something else could be missing.. but i would suggest just trying another rom, or going back to stock.. or the rom that you had it previously working on
Oh well... Not the answer I was looking for but... I guess I'll live with it!!

Exactly... Fongo works perfect and it's a similar app... The thing with Magic Jack is I use it at home and long distance destinations a more convenient for me!

I use Vonage. Just set your cell phone as an extension of your Vonage phone, and get all the features associated with your current Vonage plan (in my case, free global long distance over 3G/4G/Wifi)
My SGS2 was suddenly rebooted itself when I connected it to my PC. It didn't happen before and it does not happen now.
My question is, when something goes wrong and the phone suddenly reboots or a specific app crashes or whatever (just one time, not on a regular basis) how can I know if any damage was done, to data for example, like a corruption, and whether or not should I reinstall this app or wipe and flash the phone?
I was just about to finish configuring settings and installing apps after a clean ROM installation when it happened, and so I thought about doing everything all over again because I wanted it to be "perfect".
If anyone shares this annoying habit I'm sure you will know what I'm talking about. I figured out I might just ask a pro about this thing I usually do, as I am aware that it is possible that there is absolutely zero logic to it and it is all in my head
Thanks.
P.S: Didn't post in the device forum because I figured it is a question that is based on the Android OS nature rather than subjective to a specific device model.
Clean install, re-flash rom.
Press thanks if this post helped.

I was hoping for a little bit more info
Is there any reason to re-flash just because of a single crash? if so, please elaborate as I am very willing to understand the considerations.
Thanks.
Anyone?
why dont you do a research on logcats !!
if you can understand logcats fine or else just post the logcats in the forum of the app that causes crashing!!

Because I'm not asking about troubleshooting a crashing app... nor a faulty OS installation.
I'm asking about the general idea of re-flashing a phone just because the OS suddenly crashed, one time only, without any special use for the moment.
You said your phone rebooted after you connected it to the pc. This the problem. No need to reflash imo, just close all apps when connecting next time.

what do you mean by OS suddenly crashed.. is it that it rebooted all of a sudden out of nowhere or are there some system process that gets FC ?
if its happened one time only no need to reflash... if problem exists reflash with proper wipe..

It was actually right after I power it up so maybe it was still loading some stuff? and btw, how do I close all apps? I can google it of course but then I will find about 5698 different ways to do it without knowing which one did you mean

Kind of out of nowhere, yes, but even if it had something to do with me connecting it to the PC too soon after starting the phone - I am still curious if a sudden crash (a single one out of nowhere) can make some sort of a damage to any system or app data that it is recommended to re-flash or something.
I really hope you got my point. I used all my English skills to this one! :laugh:

android can crash when it runs out of RAM. Doesnt necessarily mean that a system app is damaged. if however a system app is damaged it will show up as a FC (force close) rather than a reboot.
so still im of the opininon that you dont have to reflash you rom yet...
How exactly did it work? Did you connect your phone to PC and then it rebooted?
By closing all apps i meant removing everything from recents screen.

So you are basically saying that if something wrong happened like a sudden reboot, and it doesn't happen again, you wouldn't mind about it. Correct?

Yeah. But it didn't happen since. Just this one time.
I got curious about what might have caused it and what might have happened because of it and decided to ask here if it makes sense to re-flash
your rom is fine. The reboot used to happen to me from time to time when i plugged it into the computer or when i uninstalled an app. It had something to do with an app being executed in the background and not releasing every ressource. This didnt happen on the last few builds for me though...

And can a sudden reboot cause any damage to any app or sys data integrity?
normally not. if you dont have fc over fc then you dont need to reflash
