just sync your CM repo, download the ril files from his repo below and replace them with the ones from themuppets repo :P

https://github.com/sbrissen/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-10.1/t0ltecdma/proprietary/system/lib

hope you can understand that....

works great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hey Scott,

If you're not too busy could you put an updated CM build with working 4G? Or are the new security patches not that important?

Thanks :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
That's what the test build is......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ho11ywood45:
i must have bad luck.

flashed back to stock. everything was perfect. full 4G bars / GPS lock. everything working.

Flashed eng_build. nothing works. no LTE no GPS.

im just gonna stick with 4.1.2 MC2 builds til this gets hashed out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yeah, it was built on the 6-25 nightly, I'm asking for the 7-10 or later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
It was built with earlier ril blobs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Finitesimal:
-snip-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HappyFillmore:
Latest nightly yeah no LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Anyone try to dirty flash Scotts build on top of 5/28 nightly? Does 4g still work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
Pretty sure someone did a page back and it was fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
My speaker is really quiet on max volume. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
X2 on this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Finitesimal:
I did exactly this and ended up with non-functioning radios.

How can I cleanly set up a local_manifest.xml to handle this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HotelZambia:
x3; 7/11 build.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] durango99:
FYI check the nightlies changelog to see what has been modified but more importantly look for entries that are specific to your phone. Then you don't have to apply a nightly and blindly see if for example it has the 4g ril blob reverted.

Why when I do a back in RomtoolBox or Titanium backup ,once I flash a new ROM I can never do Restore .. Its seems like it could find the folder or something .. Any ideas on why this may happen ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidh59:
Where is your backup being saved. Either change to a directory that is not being wiped or save to your sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] traybent:
tried that.. once i flash the new Rom it seems that romtool box doesnt recognize the backup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
I know when I go from tw to aosp, all my tw backups end up in data/media. And then once on aosp, I have the sdcard1, sdcard0, then emulated. Hope this helps with the data/media I mentioned

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
I emailed Scott and asked if he could pull together an updated build. He needs to run a sync, but will put together an updated build soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Or you should be able to flash the latest nightly and drop and replace with these files into system/lib, set permissions, and reboot. Scott sent me this a while back to test for him and it worked for me. Lmk if it helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zagtastic:
i'm curious if someone can clarify a few things. i saw the long post by cm on g+ that explained that official support for exynos 4-based devices was basically dropped, and read several of the longer replies that described some issues with getting code for some of the exynos SOC interfaces that caused things like massive memory leaks and stuff, but i'm still confused on a few points.

1. up until 5/28, we had basically working 4g, gps, etc.

2. after that, some new binary RIL "blobs" were introduced into our build that broke that functionality.

3. now we're *hopefully* addressing the issue by re-introducing the original blobs.

questions:

1. why did it take this long to try the old blobs? i assumed that was either unacceptable or wouldn't solve the problem, simply because the issue was outstanding for so long and because CM had publicly said, essentially, that they couldn't fix it right now/without additional source code. it seems unlikely that this solution had not occurred to them.

2. where specifically did both the old (working) and new (broken) blobs come from? what android/ota versions are they associated with? what should we expect to lose by going with the older blobs?

3. do we expect the older blobs to be accepted by CM, and (i understand this is speculation) is this likely to result in GN2 getting an official release?

thanks in advance for any infos :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Support hasn't been dropped for any Exynos 4 devices such as our GN2 and even going back to the Int'l GS2 which we now share the same kernel with. I think the CM team was more saying our devices can be difficult to work with sometimes considering Sammy and it's lack of source for a few things. If you check CM gerrit though, our smdk4412 kernel is still being worked on all the time

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...anogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412,n,z

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...anogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412,n,z

and so is our smdk4412-common device tree

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...od/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common,n,z

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...od/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common,n,z

1. Don't think the issue was brought up to sbrissen soon enough and he was off on vacation by that time so couldn't do much anyways. I talked to the dev (noobnl) that pushed the new RIL and how it broke a few things for us. He said the ril blobs were the issue. I brought this up to sbrissen and he sent some stuff to test and it helped.

2. Both come from touchwiz ota's from Samsung like the MC2 release, etc. No functionality should be lost but we all assume newer is better so we always update when newer files are available.

3. Yea it will probably merged soon as sbrissen sent a pull request for it I think. All GN2 devices have official support but will never get any official milestone "stable" releases because our Exynos chip even though most builds are perfectly fine.

Anyways that should answer most of your questions. Sbrissen can probably fill in a bit more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zagtastic:
much appreciated, slick_rick. i mistakenly associated the clear implication that we should not expect an official build with the idea of not being officially supported. thanks for clarifying that.

i'm a little sad that stable builds are unlikely. we were getting M builds before the merge broke functionality tho, right? what are the requirements for stable builds (i.e. does it go beyond functional parity with other *stable* devices)? would anything short of samsung giving them the needed source allow us back on that list?

thanks again, and this'll be the last time i bug ya :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Well the builds are from the same source as those getting "stable" releases. Its pretty much just as stable though, just without the milestone release tag. And no, Exynos devices have never had milestone releases going back to CM10 and maybe CM9 I think. I'm not exactly sure what beyond the Sammy source issue that groups us into non-milestone releases either but I think that's what it would take from Sammy to get us there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] traybent:
Is anyone SMS not working properly.. Mine SMS won't even open
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It works! Thanks :D

I put the ril blobs into the latest 7-15 nightly, if anyone wants it: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588003840
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
I appreciate the detailed info slick. It helps make a lot more sense for the end user. Thank you for your time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bennyhiII:
So just to be clear, this will preserve 4g? Thanks for posting it BTW.

Thanks.

Ben
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yep :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
I just flashed v6/19, and going on 24 hours playing with it. I must say, I am very pleased with it so far. Everything works the way it should, and no LTE in my area so can not report on that. Now back to my phone...

I followed qbkings77 how to install instructions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0_j-L2iaP4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
I spoke to soon, lol. I'm getting a bit of screen flickering going on once in a while. This happens when viewing pics. Am I missing something here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] traybent:
Will Cm10 themes work with 10.1 ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
Any reason you went with the 6/19 nightly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HotelZambia:
It's an issue with Plasma Kernal. Flash 1.66 (7 July build) and uninstall Voodoo; the built-in audio controls on Plasma are better, anyway.

HZ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
So, just to triple-check: D2dyno's build above with the ril blobs in it + Plasma 1.66 = working 4G & fixed volume?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
Searched in this forum, and over at a different one to see which build would be the most stable. 6/19 seem to be the winner for my SGN2. Now I see that just because a version works well for a few, it will be just the opposite for others. I love me some CM, but I am anal when it comes to the bugs.

The 2 bugs that killed it for me on this build were the screen flickering, and the low volume in my speaker. I went back to my old ROM :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yep, speaker works for me now :D and 4G sticks after reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
HI,

Yes, it's an easy thing to do:

Get the zip of the AOSP ROM you want, and the RIL blobs zip

Open the ROM zip, and navigate to /system/lib.

Copy the files from the RIL zip into that folder of the ROM zip.

It should ask if you would like to overwrite 3 files, say yes. If it doesn't ask you to overwrite, that ROM may not be using the proper RIL blobs, or they are in a different folder (I doubt it though).

Once it's done, you should be able to flash that ROM zip, and 4G works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
They might just be RILs specific to Cyanogenmod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588004188

Latest repo sync with good ril blobs.

I HAVE NOT tested this but it should be good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
I've actually dropped them into illusion, rootbox, and carbon...all of them booted and had constant 4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
So which build would be screen flicker free? I see many concerned about LTE, but my area is not LTE ready yet so I am not worried about that part. Just looking for a bug free build if possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Patch7:
The 4g works on this build but I cannot get a gps lock on it. On the 7-8 build I get both.

Update! I reinstalled it and followed the steps of locking in a GPS in tw stock and all works.. Thanks for the info!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidh59:
Gps is working fine for me, used nav to 2 places this morning. Although I did have to reboot once because the dialer locked up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nottoosmart:
Ive been using this build all day. I love it. Does everything I want/need and doesnt have any of the bugs that keep me going back to stock. Thank you so much. I have 4G/GPS working properly.

Steps to install:

Flash device back to Stock MC2

Waited for 3G/4G connection

Update PRL

Update Profile

Launched Maps to grab GPS lock

Root

Flash build discussed (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588004188)

Flashed GAPPS

Full boot

Flashed Plasma Kernel 1.66 (Only did this as the volumes still seemed low)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
Off-the-wall question here, does anyone use the 'blacklist' in the phone options? I just had one of my blacklisted numbers call, and my phone seems to be ringing infinitely. Has anyone noticed this? Is there a fix, aside from not using the integrated blacklist?

My ringtone and notification are on silent and I try to change them but they stay on silent any idea on to fix this ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pithism:
It sounds like even if i use this method and use the root zip as well i will still lose Custom Recovery, is that true? And if so i will still be able to just use goo manger or fastboot to install a recovery again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robertm2011:
Yes, absolutely right, while testing all of the AOSP roms, I used the back-to-stock rom and and the root zip, downloaded Goo Manager and used it to install the TWRP recovery many times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] traybent:
OK.. Can anyone help me get sound for text notifications and ringtone ..I changed my kernel .but its nothing ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] traybent:
This is what I got ..cant get it to switch notification
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidh59:
You can't change the sound from silent to something else?

Use root explorer, take note of the previous permissions.. Than replace the files and change permissions on the new files. Currently using these files on carbon rom.

I'm sure this won't be needed soon, but can someone post a zip of the rils that can be flashed via recovery? I've tried three times now to manually add these in and i'm still only getting 3g.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Quicksand Jesus:
Hey guys, I'm this build and I have working 4g. But I do have a new problem. Do any of you have EXTREMELY slow downloads from the play store when using 3g or 4g?

Mine is crazy slow on 3g or 4g, but blazing fast on WIFI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] r80ies:
This happen to me on the previous build. I wiped cache and dalvik also at the time my play store was updates to 4.2.3. This may not help but it's worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
How are you guys flashing prls on aosp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eldartho:
Scott for what it's worth just flashing the 1.67 plasma kernel sorted out all my audio issues both on aokp mr2 and your latest 7/22 build I know it's not the most technical description I can give just posting what works

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pithism:
i dont see it anywhere but do the nighly have working 4g? or do i still have to use a test build for 4g?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robertm2011:
Not sure that I'm reading bbq site right, but I think that the 7/26 build will have the ril blobs that will theoretically fix 4G. (Notice all the qualifiers... :p)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Well hopefully its in the 7/27 build. Although I have a feeling we are about to start all these issues over again.

4.3 was just released according to my friend with a Nexus 7, so maybe there will be a change up to cm10.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
7/27 doesn't have fixed RIL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JusticeAA:
To fix the deep sleep issues with the latest repos with fixed 4g, freeze "System Update 1.4.34" in Titanium Backup.

It has worked wonders for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidh59:
I may have to try this, my battery life during the week has been getting worse lately. The weird thing is if I listen to music off the sd card all day like today my battery usage is a good 25% better. Not a scientific test by any means but I've seen it several tines now,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
So the latest nightly has working 4G? Because I thought the commit we were looking for was "Revert RIL Blobs", I just see use opensource libril.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eldartho:
Definitely... More than willing to test as long as all the basics work... Need phone for work and all...

That's called getting it after the testing phase
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eldartho:
True dat then Def more than willing to spend a night or two messing with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
No, the automated nightlies still have the bad blobs since sbrissens pull request hasn't been merged yet. As far as a 4.3 build, I can't release just yet. There's a storage issue that makes it unusable and it gets stuck at boot logo on reboot requiring a new flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eldartho:
All good dude we are all patient enough people I hope
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
I asked Scott about the status of the pull request for the older blobs and he said that it is tied to another request for bringing up another device.
