[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherguy19:
I love breaking things. It's only then we can figure out how it works.

Busybox is exactly what you need.

grep will search for strings within all files and subdirs of /system/etc; matching whatever you type for "AppName.apk"

It is a case-sensitive search unless you add

-i

So

grep -ri ....

or

grep -r -i....

Both would work.

But you don't even know if you need to be searching for a file to modify.

You may want to go ahead and delete the file and reboot.

If it fails, note the file(s) you deleted and know the system is looking for them and then proceed with seeing if you can identify a file in /system/etc that is looking for it's presence.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

Commands that complete "quietly" mean they were successful.

If you type

# mount | grep oem

After

# mount -o rw,remount /oem

/dev/block/nandi /oem cramfs ro,relatime 0 0

Should have changed to

/dev/block/nandi /oem cramfs rw,relatime 0 0
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vindicoth:
Followed those steps and its still

/dev/block/nandi /oem cramfs ro,relatime 0 0

Apparently the cramfs is a read only filesystem by design.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherguy19:
You need to create an image of the partition, mount the partition on a system with tools to edit it, extract the contents, and re-create the cramfs.

You would need a linux box or linux virtual machine like Virtualbox, or maybe cygwin has the tools. I would just download and burn a Linux LiveISO and run it from VirtualBox, creating a shared folder to get access to the image file (oem partition).

With debian system, you would do

# apt-get install cramfsprogs fusecram

fusecram allow you to mount the cramfs partition on Linux PC via

# mount -t loop cramfsOEM.partition /mnt/workingdir

However since we cannot simply mount the filesystem on the device by plugging into the usb port of the linux machine and mounting from there, we must first create an image (file) of /dev/block/nandi.

> adb shell

# dd if=/dev/block/nandi of=/nandi.img bs=4k

And then copy it to our pc so we can work with the file.

# exit

> adb pull /nandi.orig.img .

Now we can transfer this file to a machine with the requisite cramfs tools to modify the file.

If you look back, I wrote

# mount -t loop cramfsOEM.partition /mnt/workingdir

replace cramfsOEM.partition for nandi.orig.img, or whatever you named it.

Workingdir needs to exist, so

# mkdir /mnt/workingdir

Now you will have to look up cramfsprogs which will allow you to extract the contents to modify. On the Debian or Ubuntu linux machine "/mnt/workingdir" would be the equivalent of "/oem" on your Android device.

However, all this is could very well be for naught, as it is likely the firmware has marked this partition as "signed" so if we try to write back our modified image, the system will fail to boot since the size will be different. On the other hand, the firmware may very well just check to see the partition size is correct. And since you are decreasing the size, the new cramfs image created with a linux box will (should) fit in the old partition.

Fyi, an image file is like a zip file without the compression.

After you modify the cramfs, you can write it back with something like

> adb push cramfs.mod.img /

> adb shell

Then write over the old partition. However, you shouldn't write over a mounted file system so

# umount /dev/block/nandi

Then write over it.

# dd if=/cramfs.mod.img of=/dev/block/nandi bs=4k

Then reboot

# shutdown -r now

And see what happens.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvn300:
Hi All,

I am looking for bluetooth support. I think the rel, evant feature is called MAP (Message Application Program).

I am such a noob, but I have a very interesting problem that i hope will wet the appetite of the very smart people here...If this is the wrong place to post this thread, please redirect me.

I have a 2013 Mazda 3 that is equipped with a bluetooth system. It has some kind of interface (not even sure what to call it), that will download text messages from compatible phones. My phone is compatible, it is an LG Spectrum. When I first sync'd it with the car, it did download the messages as designed. Then, for some reason, it just stopped downloading them. The car gives a message "download failed. Try again later". I feel pretty strongly that this is a phone issue, not a car issue.

I'm on android system 4.0.4 (ICS, I think?) I've tried unpairing the phone and deleting the profile on both the car and the phone, then pulling the battery out of the phone while it was turned on. Same results.

Can anybody think of any reason this would have stopped working? Any suggestions on what I might try next? During the time the phone stopped downloading messages, I think there was an update to the phone. If that is the problem is there a way to un-update it?

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to offer.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btreinders:
My EVO LTE keeps telling the car that the call has ended even when I am not on a call. Just happens randomly from what I can tell. Seems to be worse if I am actually using apps on the phone but can happen when I am not using it at all. Very annoying because the car stops the radio to inform me the call that I am not even on has ended. I have even had is actually disconnect a call once. I don't use it that often for calling from that vehicle so I don't know how often it would actually disconnect a call. I performed a factory restore and it still happens. My wife has the same phone, and all the same updates and hers does not have the issue.

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...

Can you please please help me if i do something wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trinibmw:
Working Talk Text and Data

I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.

What I did,

Step 1.

Install Samsung Drivers

Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)

Step 2.

Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)

- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'

Step 3.

Now you should have SuperSU

Download

1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro

2. Titanium Backup

Step 4.

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.

Step 5.

If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.

I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'

Step 6.

I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.

Step 7.

From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)

Step 8.

New APN

Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)

APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)

MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

make sure APN is enabled is checked

Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4

Step 9.

Close settings completely

Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.

Step 10.

Power off

pull out battery and sim card

wait 10 sec

power on

Step 11.

Enjoy data and mms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ladra:
Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.

But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?

I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.

Thanks again in advance for you input!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SITH16:
Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:

1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?

2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)

3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.

Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trinibmw:
You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.

[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Hello guys I'm a newbie here so please do explain to me some of the stuff if you need to

so recently (about 2 weeks ago) I used this guide to root my Incredible S and did everything except the Blackrose part

and since then

I've noticed that my phone has drained its battery a lot quicker than usual

I lost 11% of battery when I woke up, fully charging it the night before

I usually do not use it much, only a call every 2 days or so, and I do not have internet connection

so I cannot understand how I have to charge it every day now, when it used to last 4 days (on Sense)

here's a pic from betterybatterystats

thanks everyone

------- 4/10 edit

ok

back to stock rom

it has the SAME problem

"No data connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" on Betterbatterystats

with steep drops in battery whenever there is "Mobile network signal"

and next to no drop whatsoever when there isn't

PLEASE HELP ><

new attachments down there with stock rom

tell me if you need a translation

THANKS
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Battery drain has already been discussed much in the CM10.1 thread. Its been discussed in practically every AOSP thread really.
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
I know and I've tried to look around for answers for quite a few days

but for most people

it's either the same as Sense or something else (too many apps, not charging fully...)

and for those with similar conditions

I can't find solutions for

and the problem got worse today

in the 7 hours I slept yesterday

the battery drained from more than 50% to nothing

so the alarm didn't ring because it shut itself off
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
The standard charging time isnt what it says on the box or anything. It should be roughly 6 hours from 0% to 100% and thats providing you plug it into an AC outlet. I would suggest trying an app called Greenify. It hibernates certain apps/ services that may not be in use thus saving battery. I would also regularly check the Running Apps in settings and clear out anything unecessary.
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
nonono

I don't have a charging problem

it's a drainage problem

and about Greenify

I already installed that when I looked over the battery saving guide (which didn't help)

I literally have 5 apps in the Running Apps section

the part I don't get is

why does Cyanogenmod 10.1 use battery so much quicker than Sense

when I have 1/4 the apps I originally did?

it's the "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" part really bothers me.

oh and thanks for the time btw
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Hmm then this battery drainage is strange. Try making a full backup in recovery. Then clean flash the ROM again. If the problem still persists, then I have absolutely no idea whats wrong lol
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Actually

I tried that...

on Sunday afternoon I reflashed it

my exact steps:

1. ClockworkMod backup

2. Install from zip

3. Advanced restore - data (I restored the whole thing too once before that, but thought that just restoring the data might actually change something)

and that's when it went from 50% to 0 overnight

not looking too good -.-
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Well then sit tight. Szezso is gonna release a CM10.1 for us as soon as he gets his new USB port.
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
oh well then

thanks for the help anyways

I'll just keep waiting

might want to go back to Sense though...

and more pics from BetterBatteryStats

just in case anyone knows what they mean
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Drained 56% of my battery while I was asleep yesterday (for about 7 hours)

only 6% in the time I was at school, because of Airplane mode (I even listened to music and played a little Doodle Jump)

but I obviously want a phone to CALL PEOPLE

so I'm reverting to stock Rom
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
OK

so that didn't work out

I edited the main article

hope someone can help!!

meanwhile I'll look for more articles online since I know it's not (really) CM's problem anymore

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] Cyb0rgz:
Ensure to charge your mobile fully and after a NORMAL usage (calls, WiFi, Mobile Data on).

Just share the dump file from betterbatterystats. It would help to analyse better.

Edit:

Could notice you are using some widgets in the home screen. Usually widgets with high refresh rate drains your battery.

2. Facebook app is causing the partial wakelock. Even when the screen is off, the app is using your CPU. Try to disable autosync if it's enabled

3. Audio_out3 wakelock is due to phone vibrator is enabled. May be during call or keyboard haptic feature.

Power manager service wakelock is common and its in good level.

Try to check your CPU freq n governor.

And adjust accordingly. One more, Li-on battery should not be charged fully. Just charge till 85-90%. The battery will drain little lower compared to fully charged device. And you need to charge your device only when battery is low. Frequent charging n discharging will affect the battery life. Consistent Charge and discharge cycle is encouraged.

Try to share your fresh dump here or in batter battery status thread. There are many folks to help you with.

[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Thanks for the detailed reply sir

My widgets (aka weather & tasks) only refresh manually, and nothing is on Autosync (in the auto sync menu, anyways)

originally had only vibration for calls, turned that off too now

and what is "CPU freq n governor"?

didn't know that about the batteries

I'll do that next time :o

and I just reinstalled betterbatterystats, so I'll post the Dump File after a few hours

Thanks again!!
[HTC Incredible S] Cyb0rgz:
I mean CPU frequency steps and CPU governor. It's a kernel thing. Just search xda, you will lot of info regarding that.
