Wifi Tethering

Tested / working for me ! :D
[Desire Android Development] nickleby:
I was looking into the framework-res.apk and the interface name for BT tethering is bnep0. On Jelly Bean the interface name was changed from bnep0 to bt-pan to get BT tethering working, I guess is the same for KitKat... I've changed the interface name but unfortunately my Bluetooth dongle is not working so I can't test if BT tether works :( This was my post on Nikez's forum http://forum.nikez.nu/viewtopic.php?p=732#p732 [MENTION=3678722]LaidbackNikez[/MENTION]
[Desire Android Development] NicoA380:
How to change that ?

I take the framework-res.apk from the phone with adb and uncompress it.

I didn't find an arrays.xml file nor a grep result for "bnep0" or "bt-pan".

I didn't try to put your 4.2.2 framework-res.apk in my 4.4 phone but I think it's a bad idea.

Thanks for helping :)

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

I use apktool to uncompress the APK and I can now change the "bnep\d" to "bt-pan".

I search now how to recompress the APK with apktool.

--------------------

Compression done, I have to replace the file in /system/framework (remount, rw), but not space left, even after removing the old framework-res.apk.

--------------------

Put the apk with a zip file in recovery.

But it doesn't work. I broken the bluetooth peering between the Desire and the Nexus 7 (I think it work before) and there is no bluetooth tethering (of course).
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I could use someone to hopefully test a new build which should hopefully fix;

Bluetooth Tethering

Wireless Tethering

Just want to report, that I had problems bringing apps to SD. Tried several things e.g. a2sd, app2sd, mounts2sd. mounts2sd is now working, but only after I changed Partition from ext4 to ext3. Before that, mounts2sd said "SD-ext not mounted".

BTW I also tried different partition tools 4ext, gparted,Partition Wizard (Windows), for all no sucess with ext4.

Can anybody confrim ext4 is working (a2sd) on his device?

Beneath that, ROM is working excellent.
[Desire Android Development] Kabir999:
I am currently on 4.0.0p2. The problem that I am facing is that I haven't been able to activate a2sd. a2sd install in the terminal just gives the message,"This script must be run as root."

Any advice?
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
Maybe run it as root? :P

The sequence of commands in the terminal starts with an "su". If you forgot to do that, that’s your mistake right there. If not, then something funny is going on. ;)

[Desire Android Development] alex_android:
Been having some weird battery issues lately and was wondering if it's due to the 4.4 p2 build!?

The phone either stays the phone shuts down at random to save power or says it's at 90% after many hours of use. I've tried the battery configuration threads and tried wiping battery stats.

Any advice? Also notice how in the screencap it jumps from 0 to 100 instantaneously.
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
I have the same weird problem and no one answered me!

And I thinked it was my phone broken...may be not hopefully!

The phone shutdowns with 0% ftrom 80-90% randomly.

Is there a method to fix this other than deleting battery stats method, that does not work?
[Desire Android Development] alex_android:
Wiping the battery stats didn't change anything. I'm really glad someone else is also having this problem its unlikely to be the hardware then. I still use this phone as my daily driver so if anyone has a solution then please let me know.

I have the Desire without SIM, in airplane mode but with Wifi and full sincronizaton (gmail, hangouts, play store updating, etc.) and it has lasted without using it 9d 12h. Very impressive standby time!!

The peaks in the battery history is because it's not the original, not because of charging. The original goes from 20% to 0% directly :)

Great Rom, works awesome smooth :)

Last days i used P2, all worked great and fine. Hours ago i installed the nightly from the intern update extension thing. I only whiped cache and dalvik. Dont know if it works fine with a complete reinstall, will try it in the evening.

After some reboots and reinstalling gapps, now all works fine again.

Did anyone notice the much better mobile network reception? On many places where i have ALWAYS ~0-20% Edge last years, now i have with the 4.4 roms full edge or 50% 3g or H. After installing the first 4.4 rom i thinked its an display-error, but internet is as fast, as it should be with the connections.

[Desire Android Development] schlork:
Probably the same wrong thinking about a2sd, I had a while ago.

a2sd is moving everything, which is possible

automatically

to the ext4 partition of your SD. The system is seeing ext4 like an

internal storage

.

If you move an app manually in settings/apps to SD, this moves the app to FAT partition of your SD, which is the "real"

external storage

for the system. This is not working at the moment. Look here, the last 2-3 pages.

Issue: Apps disappear after reboot when moved to SD / Apps cannot be installed

BTW. A workaround for apps such as the aforementioned case, which prefer SD for storage (i.e. android:installLocation is preferExternal) here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48667341#post48667341

Just for those who have enough sd-ext space but cannot install this kind of apps and cannot wait for the real solution to this.
[Desire Android Development] Serrano:
Issue: Apps disappear after reboot when moved to SD. Solved via ugly hack

Regarding the real solution. The current storage configuration in Nikez ROM seems to honor what is described here for similar devices, such as Nexus One http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

The only difference being the usage of the usage of the noemulatedsd flag. But using that flag in device/htc/bravo/fstab.bravo doesn't seem to change the behaviour of Vold when mounting the sdcard. I've tries adding that flag there with no results:

/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto,noemulatedsd

The contents of device/htc/bravo/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml also seem to be according to the latest specs (AFAIK).

Digging a bit into Vold mounting/unmounting code. In Volume::mountVol (and Volume::unmountVol) there is an initial check on whether the Volume flag VOL_PROVIDES_ASEC is set. This is a requirement for the bind mount of the sdcard on /mnt/secure/asec. Seems that currently the flag is not set, and therefore the bind mount is not performed and /mnt/secure/asec just lies in the rootfs, as reported before, causing the issues with move to sd (and install to sd). I've made a build bypassing the flag check, and now sdcard is mounted on /mnt/secure/asec, and the asec loop images are properly stored in the .android_secure folder of the sdcard, so now:

Apps can be move to SD and survive reboots

Apps are properly installed to SD when their android:installLocation is preferExternal (or auto and there is no more internal/sd-ext available space), so no more "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card" errors because of this.

Now the question is... instead of this extremely ugly hack I've done for testing, what is the proper (TM) way of configuring storage for letting Vold know that the sdcard is providing external asec storage?

PS: Haste makes waste. Looks like VOL_PROVIDES_ASEC is set in Vold main.cpp. Seems that fstab is parsed and VOL_PROVIDES_ASEC is set when the volume is configured with noemulatedsd (like I tried before) _and_ its fstype is explicitly vfat (instead of auto). Right exactly as the example here. So it may be a matter of just changing the fstab entry to:

/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1 auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto,noemulatedsd

Which, BTW, seems to be a rather lazy way of setting things up. IMHO, if the fstype is auto, Vold should set VOL_PROVIDES_ASEC if the real fstype is determined to be vfat. Anyway... let's see if this works. Building without the hack, and just with the small change in the fstab entry:

vfat fstype instead of auto

noemulatedsd flag added to fs_mgr_flags

PS2: Tested. Works fine. So it was just a matter of changing the the sdcard entry in fstab.

As mentioned, the purpose is that Vold recognizes the volume as a provider of asec external storage, and sets the flag VOL_PROVIDES_ASEC for the sdcard volume so that it gets mounted on /mnt/secure/asec. It follows the example provided here for Nexus One:
