Alpha T-Mob

For testing purposes of whether or not it will flash a modem, it really isn't necessary for it to be a T-Mobile USA ROM. It's an Alpha build anyway, not supposedly made for everyday use. The little time I spent on it, however, this was no Alpha build. I kid you not, it was stable, fast, snappy, responsive. The wifi connected astonishingly fast, and I could use my home network to download via the Market. Not a single problem flashing it or booting up, except for this modem problem. So, if you don't mind, can you make a backup of what you're running now, flash it and report what you see in 'about phone', (the modem version) then take a look at the APN settings. After that, flash an ICS modem and see if there is a force close when you try to view the APN settings. I can provide you with ICS modem files. In the meantime, just to check, I'll flash another ICS modem over what I'm running to eliminate the possibility that there is something wrong with the modem zips.

EDIT: I just flashed from KB5 to KA7, it took fine. I think we can rule out any problem with the zip files provided by Scrizz. So, something must be broken in that ROM that causes settings to fc when you try to view the APN settings. BTW, when I ran it, the modem zip successfully flashed, and modem.bin was in /radio.

Correct, there is no Vibrant ICS ROM with wifi-calling as far as I know.

I don't understand. Move sim card over?
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
fine ill do some testing for you and jarmez :P , but his ics rom has wifi calling right?

with tmobile your phone number etc goes with the sim card (a little card you insert in your phone) so when I bought the samsung galaxy nexus i took my sim card out of the vibrant and placed it in galaxy nexus... in order to test modem and see if its working i have to move the sim card over cause otherwise for some reason it doesnt show any call related features if no sim inserted in phone...it basically looks like an android ipod touch.

use the dropbox folder i shared with you if you can unless you have links for this alpha build and the ics modem because since megaupload was taken down most links in xda dont work and i cant find anything.

jarmez's alpha build is the only ics that has wifi calling right? If im gonna test something might as well be worth it :)

edit: also...do I have to flash cm7 first or something to so partition is converted to mtd...if i remember correctly onecosmics needed to flash cm7 first before flashing his ics and jarmez's is based on onecosmics..right (also, since you mention the bug in modem, back in the day when i was trying onecosmics ics...i was getting several issues with modem and from what i found it had something to do with a typo in flashing script which only affected some vibrants...dont know if its relevant).

or can i flash this directly on top of simply honey 5.1 with gingerbread bootloader i have. Btw..I cant say simply honey was that great....i like cm7 more but that doesnt have wifi calling

The ROM file is still up. I'll have to send to you the CM7 file in just a bit. Yes, this is the one that has Wifi-calling. Do wipedata/factory restet, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, patrtition /system in the 'Advanced' menu. Then as I recall it was Cm7 first, then flash ICS ROM twice to take care of the Clockwork mismatch. Then it should boot up. If it doesn't, just repeat. Of course, backup your current ROM first. Remember to look in Settings 'About phone' and then look at the APN settings once it settles in. Report if no modem is there or if APN force closes. Then try to flash a modem which I will provide. I will do this in just a bit.

EDIT: I'll send the CM7 file through dropbox as soon as I find it.

EDIT: Sending Update-CM7 file right now, 5:53 PM.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Raymond your a champ. Thanks for looking after these threads whilst I have been away. Your a reliable guy thanks a heap man.

Keepin the noobs al info'd up thats cool.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Wifi-calling

There you are! Any ideas on why the modem isn't flashing?:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Yes a fault with the standard scripting in RC4x. I have rectified this in my latest ROM. I can't even remember what the cause was or how I fixed it, but it took me creating two versions of the same version of my ROM one to install the old method RC3.1 and prior and one as RC4.x. What ever it was I it's fixed now and not need to worry with the new ROM I will upload soon for you.

PS: I was hoarding a massive massive repositry of failed ROMs, scripts, add ons, apps you name it I had it by the time I got to releasing this I needed to make room on my android drive so a heap of stuff got flushed and along with it the workings for why the last install never liked the modem being installed? Who ever else out there tries to deodex OneCosmics will get the same issues as me....and will either need to figure it out them selves of use my installation package.
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
So I was right, it was similar to the problem in onecosmics ICS which had a flashing script error which only affected some vibrants.

If Jarmez plans to upload a new version of his ICS, ill wait and flash that instead and ill use the CM7 that you sent me Ray first. Let me know when the new ICS by Jarmez is ready...
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Yes, I actually noted it again lastnight. It IS in the installation script and it slipped through the cracks and managed to flow on from RC4.1 to RC4.2. Changes have been made to my ROM to correct this. I will let Paul know exactly what he needs to change to help other vibrant users.

LINKS ARE UP PEOPLES! HAPPY FLASHING!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
no one has downloaded it yet? I though that someone would have given this a try already....hmmmm silence is better than complaints haha. Maybe its the timezone difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] ascallop:
I've installed it and have been trying to test it. I just reflashed a different ROM so I could regain connectivity.

For me, the ROM seemed to flash correctly, but the modem didn't work. No baseband in "about phone". I then flashed an ICS KB5 modem on top of your ROM. Same result. I also flashed an ICS KA7 modem, same thing. Then I reflashed another ICS ROM so I could post here to report the results. Today I'm in a hotel with no working Internet, so my Vibrant is my only connectivity option.

I should also say that at first glance, the ROM seems quite nice.

I really appreciate the work that you've put into this because WiFi calling is a very important feature to me, and I love ICS. I will happily test anything that you'd like me to test. Please feel free to PM me with testing details... logging etc..
[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
Just installed it, imho there is too much bloat on it, it added over 20 apps onto my phone most of which like, Torch, FM Radio do not and will never work on the vibrant as we are lacking hardware, I recommend changing the OP to reflect this, or are useless apps that a user should install such as voodoo control and a few root management apps, though these are just preferences for roms and does not speak to the whole community.

I get an invalid sim when I try to do wifi calling.

You thew most of the apps into system including a themed icon for google music which could affect upgrading the app in the future. (Note the themed icon will note affect the upgrade its the fact that its in system and there is sometimes a signature mis-match)

With that said I am really impressed with how much sammy stuff you got working on stock ICS and its really cool to see that you can do all of this and still have a rom that runs as smooth as this one does, recent apps pops up in no time and there is really no lag when opening apps ect

Feel free to message me if you want to, Also I understand that this is an alpha rom and the fact that it runs this smooth is extremely impressive
[Vibrant Android Development] Akareem81:
Alright so I flashed, but it couldnt recognized SIM and messaging app keeps FCing, maybe its the way I flash it, is there any special procedure to flash this?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Alpha T-Mob

Who is Paul?

Why would that happen? Would a logcat help, Jarmez?

That's what I like to hear, just a little Touchwiz, not the whole thing. I really appreciate how Vibranturk got 'Memo' working on his ROM. Since we have a few reports, maybe I don't need to flash? I really am flash weary right now, lol. Was out all day long, not back until 9PM. Very long day.:)

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Do you mean there was no modem in 'about phone' or did you get the invalid sim card message?

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

I almost forgot, Jarmez, this page talks about mic gain for the wifi-calling app. I hope this helps you and that other dev.

[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
Paul Forde, I think thats how you spell his name, kernel guy

Its a baseband thing which could be a modem issue or a scripting issue

it was no baseband so flashing a modem probably would have solved it but it told me invalid sim, which could in theory be caused by the mismatch in the build prop and me not having a 4g compatible sim card. idk how t-mo does things as my dad couldnt switch from blackberry to android because he was on a blackberry data plan not an android one so idk if they have a 4g data plan but thats irrelevant.

I'm more than happy to help with this as well, I'm busy because I'm in college but if I have free time I'm more than happy to lend a hand
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
I will have another look over the ROM again tonight. I have a meeting on, but I did pull the install proceedure from my ROM which did away with the issues experienced by RC users not getting modem (and for that matter wifi etc) working. I have removed some apps already (these were SGSII apps) and were left in there to see if I could get sync to work.

I will post in here when the links are updated. (Great part about drop box) I will post up the MD5s in accordance to the changes that have been made and will list the full set of apps included later on.

Thanks guys
[Vibrant Android Development] memnoc:
dunno if it's just fixed or mentioned but, could u guys tell me how to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
Sorry..I was busy flashing nexus yesterday with aokp build 25 and franko kernel...
[Vibrant Android Development] harpocrates:
Since some already flashed and had some issues ill wait for you to post updated version to try...

Sorry I'm Not that helpful but I'm also busy with work, fixing a couple of PC's for friends, flashing nexus and playing around with that and I have my once every 3 weeks hospital appointment tomorrow and in usually out of commission for a couple days after. But thankfully Ray is around and some people testing your builds.

My helpful xda days are in the past... :-(
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Oh man don't apologise, your health is always number one. I hope you can get better soon. I hope it is nothing too serious?

On that note a newer version is up for everyone to try:)

hi

wifi broken

wireless network is unavailable. Every time he continues opening. But it does not turn on the wireless network.

Simcard And the network does a pin code.
[Vibrant Android Development] kage00:
quick question, can I flash this on i9000? it there much difference between the vibrant and the i9000?

...I'm guessing the answer will be nandroid backup, then try it and see..?
[Vibrant Android Development] ascallop:
After the initial flash, no modem, so I flashed KB5. That worked, I got a good 3g connection. Next I connected to WiFi, that worked too. WiFi calling keeps FC'ing though. There are periodic WiFi calling FCs, and it FCs when you try to start the app.

The Japanese keyboard was kind of a surprise, I had to install a GB keyboard before I could effectively type anything ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Guys what version are you all flashing? Please be specific and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PROVIDE LOGCAT OUTPUTS! I cannot do anything at all without at least these bits of information. I feel frustrated cause I can't help. I understand that you've flashed the ROM, but the whole idea of flashing and testing and being part of alpha is so that you guys (with my efforts) can contribute to making something beta and then RC (release candidate) and then finally full release.

Trust me.... I WILL RECOGNISE YOU in my final release for helping with this. I need outputs I cannot get any visualisation on what is going on because I am not a T-mobile user. Most devs wouldn't take this work on unless they were. I did for the challenge and cause so many people want it and no one else is bothered (well within the samsung community anyway - either that or they aren't sharing if they have got it sorted).

There is an i9000 release of this in the i9000 section, but it has not had any updates like this one as there were hardly any users. If you would like to use this ROM open the zip(nope I am not instructing noobs)...ahhh scrap that....I will upload one now for you :)
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
The dropbox link is "overloaded" and thus they shut it down.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
There will be two zips up in the next 20min called:

SGH-I997-JarmezROM-2.1.2TmobWifi-deodex-platypus_test2.zip

and

SGH-I997-JarmezROM-2.1.2TmobWifi-deodex-platypus_test3.zip

These have different configurations and have the standard rild file that has been the cause of your modem not registering and why wifi won't work. These run the vibrant rild file and have both the HTC version (borrowed form CM7 - thanks I will give credit to this person soon I am late for work) of wifi calling

and the normal Samsung one.

Good luck and please post logcats.
[Vibrant Android Development] kage00:
Awesome, thanks

Can't wait to get back that samsung feel to my phone again :)
[Vibrant Android Development] c-pimp:
anyway we can get mirrors added drop box wont allow us to try this out :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Sorry guys. All hell broke loose at work this afternoon. If not for the next test version of my ROM running so silky smooth this morning...I can tell you now I would not want to see another computer today! Grrr

I am the only person at work at the moment that has expertise in the new software deployment....I have used it for years and now this organisation finally upgrades. I am part of the user acceptance and testing team (well team....there is no team, its me my self and I) and so we have a new software product and no support team either. That is also me. So that means when I or anyone I am teaching (oh did I mention that? I am also the teacher and educator for this new software too!) has a problem with the software that they come to me cause the support staff a) Don't have any skills in supporting what they don't know yet, they haven't been trained at all and the people who they are learning from have only had a few months experience (sic) rapid learning (which I hand it to them they've picked up and learnt fairly quick). The deployment teams head operator who knows his stuff.....his contract ended last month so we have one of my colleagues (who also knows his ****) standing in "acting" so to speak for the guy that's missing. We are behind schedule for a go live....and well we haven't got data all loaded yet (I wear that hat too in my spare time - hmmm what spare time? YEP I am doing a fair swag of the data load too!)and the guy thats acting is on leave. The support staff that need to be trained haven't been yet cause the people who are meant to train the support staff haven't learnt everything yet. And all of a sudden our organisation last week decides to deploy a "software" patch to the whole organisation and I am thinking (its a major Java update by the way) and heres me thinking "I hope they have thought about weather that patch interacts with the new system that is about to be deployed?" OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T!!!! IT staff that don't even know about a new product are not going to even bother checking to see if it breaks something are they? Today everything fell to pieces when the only other guy that knows anything has gone home. The old software that we always use thats a piece of **** broke and fell over in a heap like it always does. I'm in the middle of testing and all my toolboxes are broken. Last week around the same time bloody iTunes here at home decides to think it now has the rights to be a virus checker too, so it happened to see the latest java objects in my SDK as a security threat and removed them from my PC. hmmmm I start thinking 'I bet their "java patch" is some security update that just binned half the com objects that make this major application work?' I am on the phone all afternoon educating the teachers of the support staff about the IT **** f*cking everything up! so I never got a chance to do **** today....lunch break? What lunch break! God I am freakin angry. Oh I feel so much better now for venting ahhhhhhhhhhhhh :D someone give me sympathy please :P

PS: an even nicer and newer version of my ROM will be updated very shortly.....promise I have a hosting service too.
[Vibrant Android Development] NaabKing:
You poor guy :D

btw, does this work on SGS RC4.2? And which apps actually work? I dont wanna try it if it doesnt include the apps i wanna, cuz of anything goes wrong, i would need to reflash everything again, so please just tell me which apps are included and work? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Oh FFS I am so stupid!!! I totally forgot about the initial freakin symlinks between bin and xbin? There is no symlink for RILD at the moment and there is for just about everything else? should there be one? Crapola! Does ANYONE out there have the stock installation zip for the original T-mob ROM (and FOR VIBRANT!)? Anyone? I need to double check this ****. So far all everyone has done to try and install wifi calling is put **** in place and hope for the best. We forget that with our samsungs that cyanogen crew have set them up putting things on different chipsets so some things need to be symlinked that never were in gingerbread! This is something I need to know. If I ha d a stock T-mob ROM I could get this working I reckon. I will package the zip up without the symlink for RILD (I am going to assume that this is not needed at all and that the system uses RILD as it is and wifi calling is not dependent on seeing RILD in a specific location that it cant see it...I am going to assume that wifi calling is going to follow the rules "When in rome do as the romans do")

I really am going crazy aren't I? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
This ROM WILL work on RC4.2. Please read the thread though....its alpha. Take a guess and allow that you are going to need to reflash again. Its easier to assume the worst, but in all honesty is reflashing the ROM such a big deal? Like is it that much effort to flash again if something doesn't work out?

James is it that much effort that you are trying to perform miracles with Ice Cream Sandwich which was never intended for Galaxy S or Vibrant?

Oh I dunno brain is it?

Hey guys....I quit....its too hard :p

Just kidding :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
ok craziness has set in....I have to set permissions on xml file in the installation proceedure. Is there anything else I f*#%ing haven't considered?

Damn no wonder most devs didn't bother lol

Edit: NO I don't.

PS: definitely crazy
[Vibrant Android Development] NaabKing:
Ok, then please tell me only if there is Radio, Calc or Polaris Office? :D That's the only apps im interested in, but i'm gonna flash it if there is Radio app woking only too :D Don't make me flash this and reflash everything later again if that is not included =/
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
This is still in alpha phase, odds are you will have to flash many times before it is 100%. Thats what we are doing here testing, giving results and then waiting for a new updated version to try. If you are not able/willing to test then you should not load this and just wait till it is final which may take quite some time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Ok guys n girls. There's a bit of a delay and for good reason. I kind of got sick of second guessing with this project. The ROM is fresh and fast, I know that already after heaps of testing (actually I challenge you guys to beat its battery and smoothness when I release it), so the information and cross device substandard of guessing off other peoples guesses was doing my head in. Not only that but more dramas when I looked a little deeper to find that the install components that I have been using for wifi calling (and it wasn't like my self or Raymond didn't search half the freakin internet for sources as it was - the ones I found seemed like the ONLY samsung versions that I could find?) were of course for a froyo version of the T-mob ROM (of unknown samsung origins too?) that all being said I have a fair idea how these components work but needed to be sure and not just "believe" the build prop info of every source I had seen to come up with some frankenstein that you guys are putting your hope and trust in....I mean so far I have done my best to share how I am coming to various decisions, but with so many variables the outlook was starting to look a bit bleak :(

I had a first failed ROM (not this one but one in i9000 thread) that I used as a base to learn. I think I have rapidly gained enough knowledge in this very short period of time to be confident with what I know personally. I needed to have a stock fresh ROM.

So with that in mind I went to the T-mobile website, I obtained the latest kies and did a bit of snooping to see where users would get the latest download for their vibrants 2.3.5 or 6 :). I am sure you guys are liking where this is heading yeah?

I used wget to pull the download directly from the site (as if I am your everyday T-mo shmo ;)) I then decompiled the ROM and pulled down the factoryfs.rfs and decompiled the factoryfs it into its core ROM components. I then rebuilt the ROM (yes I needed to do that in order to see exactly where the script would compile to install each component, then I could make much more educated decision about where everything sits in ICS :) I've deodexed ROM (hahah this funny, does anyone want a freakin Gingerbread ROM while I am at it?).

Anyway I am now have the latest Genuine T-mobile vibrant base and I have a zippy ICS base (thats all fixed up) and I am starting fresh on the framework and then I can pretty much recompile the full ICS package with the latest T-mobile stuff and fingers crossed we will have you guys something as "close to" the real deal as we can get.

I will look to start back on my Samsung apps packages when I have got this ROM all ironed out and running smooth. That means I am locked in and not bailing out on this project until the first wifi call is made!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
What I mean to say to you all is...sorry I got your hopes up, I estimate a day maybe two on this and it will be ready for release (alpha again). We are probably 2 days behind, but I would say a week of chasing my freakin tail in front. My own personal sanity is worth that I think :)
