Problems with Wifi Companion proposed by Maichelp

Hey,

I have used the wifi companion - nice software. Problem is that since I have been using it, I've been getting a Pocket PC Networking error message box every 10 minutes. THe network is fine during that time, but it still gives me the message. Never happened before WiFi companion. I saw a few others with the same problem with wifi companion. Might have to do a hard reset...

Anybody (e.g. Maichelp) have any suggestions short of hard reset?

Thx.
[Networking] Maichelp:
I dont have this problem. I dont know.

sorry
[Networking] Maichelp:
I'm sorry,

if i'm not mistaking!

Look in the windows folder on your device, there are 2 files called WIFISDK.DLL rename 1 to WIFISDK1.DLL and try again.

this wil do the trick.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FalseAim:
Hello, and thanks for reading this. I know it's long, but I wanted to be specific.

I got a brand new AT&T Galaxy S4 yesterday, and decided I wanted to run CM. I easily rooted using this

method, but ran into problems in multiple attempts to install CWM. I found out about the MF3 software version, which I have, so I installed safestrap.

In safestrap, I factory reset, installed CM 10.2-20131102.zip

snapshot, and then installed loki-doki.zip as mentioned in this thread (there were some mentions in the xda forums but I can't find the one I was looking at earlier.) The problem is I forgot to make

a new rom slot/partition thing, so I think I wrote over the stock rom.

Now, when I turn on the phone, an option for safestrap comes up. If I choose to not go through safestrap, the screen goes blank black, but the phone stays on until I

hold the power button and it vibrates, indicating a power down. Safestrap's recovery mode still works as expected.

What I've already tried:

1. Factory reset. Nothing changed.

2. Create rom slot for CM, install, and boot (Has since been uninstalled). Nothing changed.

3. manually put stock rom zip into phone. Computer did not recognize device.

4. Use adb to push same stock rom zip onto phone. ADB did not see device.

5. Change PIT via ODIN as per a thread I can no longer locate. Nothing changed.

6. Take a stock rom and flash it from ODIN (I used the PDA, then bootloader, option because I wasn't sure which to select.) Both failed.

Is this something y'all can help me with? What do I do? If you have any ideas, questions, comments, please ask. I know I need more information.

Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NighthawkXL:
A few things...

CM will not work on SafeStrap as of right now, it's AOSP-based whereas SS currently only supports TouchWiz-based ROMs.

Is your stock ROM-slot intact, or did you flash over it as well? if so move on to the next bullet.

Your need to take these files and use ODIN to flash back to stock MF3 (I don't know what stock files your using) and start from scratch.

Alternatively, you can try to flash a TouchWiz-based ROM (look here) in a ROM-slot other then stock in SafeStrap and see if it works, just don't forget to flash the MF3 modules afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FalseAim:
I really appreciate the help. I had no idea CM would not work with SafeStrap. Is it possible to get CWM through SafeStrap? If not, I'll just have to do some research to see if I want one of the TW-based ROMs, I've never looked into it before. Actually, just before you posted, I started the Odin flashing in this thread, which seems to be another thread pointing to the same file downloads written by the same guy as the thread you posted. The phone is back to perfect stock; no root, no SafeStrap, still MF3 software version. I'm going to reroot and reinstall SafeStrap, and not be so reckless this time. Thanks again for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NighthawkXL:
No CWM won't run on the locked MF3 bootloader. SafeStrap is "recovery" itself designed specifically for MF3 devices. Just use a TW Rom and br careful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FalseAim:
Do you think you could help me install a ROM? I tried to get GoldenEye, but it didn't work. I made a new ROM slot and didn't change any of the default sizes. Then I activated that ROM slot, wiped the data, and intalled the GoldenEye zip file from the /sdcard folder. The I rebooted, and installed the MF3 modules on the same ROM slot. Then I rebooted again, but all I got was a black screen. I was able to get back into SafeStrap and the stock ROM still works, but what did I do wrong installing GoldenEye?

I deleted and then remade the ROM slot, and tried installing the two files again without rebooting in between, but it didn't change anything. But I did notice the following when trying to install the MF3 modules:

Installing 'sdcard/jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip'..

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

Updating partition details...

E:Unable to mount internal storage.

SafeStrap says "Successful," but this text doesn't sound like it. I couldn't find any in-depth tutorial on using SafeStrap, so I'm not sure what to try next.

Thanks for the help.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

U mean internal ROM sharing kernel with secondary otherwise? I'm not so sure about that cuz why should aosp or omni boot if it uses the kernel of the internal stock ROM?

Although will try soon the way u described..!

Extract boot.img from rom I flash as secondary, after install, inject boot.img.. Right?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] freshbooy:
+1 on android 5

stuck on Vanir Boot logo all the time
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Vishalkris:
Yup you are right... Inject the boot IMG from the ROM... Or if you are an enthusiastic and OC freak... Learn to unpack the IMG file and learn how to add parameters, governors and tweaks to kernels from xda itself and make your own flashable zip kernel and flash it on your ROM...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yeah already experienced a nice bootloop on LP without injecting the boot. (Was just out of curiosity cuz normally I flashed secondary Rom's without injection and that went fine :p)

And BTW unpacking and repacking with another recovery I did already, but adding parameters and tweaks is the thing I'm looking into ATM :cool: lol

I love Vanir Rom.

Was previously using Commotio B59 (practically vanir with few visual Tweaks) and it gave me the best battery life with 6hrs sot and 1d standby.

But this build I don't for what reason is draining battery way too much.

I run the exact same setup on all roms.

Hope you figure it out and fix it in the next building.

Ran 3 whole battery cycles and all had high android system usage.

Sot is 50 mins.

6 hours screen on time with xperia z? really?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Use greenify for now. I'll look into it. Next release I an switching over to a cleaner kernel. That should fix any kernel wakelocks.

Sent from my c6606
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] venky716:
Yup Commotio B59 best battery life till date.

Rare occurrence though.

That is why I'm excited for Vanir, it is the most battery efficient ROM on Nexus 4.

I've greenified pretty much all apps.

I've installed 4.4 Google now app and updated google services to latest for 4.4, could that cause any problems due to compatibility issues ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Not compatibility. But in terms of location finding it may end up taking up more battery. Since you use google now, that would have also caused this. But I haven't seen such poor SOT due to that. When you said you have done recharge cycles, did you have your phone completely off until it was charged fully?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] venky716:
Did that the first time I flashed Vanir, kept it on charging switched off and overnight.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Hellscythe:

Awesome rom! Thanks for your work!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
massive bug.

firstly - thank you, this rom is so smooth and fast,with little ram usage too.. but there is 3 bugs ive found,2 being major,1 being minor.

1. the active tiles (on status bar) as well as pulldown do not work,u can try to toggle from the notification bar,the icon is there, but nothing happens.

Oddly enough you can change them in settings, but they just dont show up no matter what you try.

2. as a user mentioned previously, it shows c6606,but thats nothing major.

3. even with an overclockable kernel such as meow (tested stock too) the performance app picks up the overclocking,but not the undervolting,

it reports "kernel with voltage control settings required" yet i do have the supporting kernel..

out of all these the only 1 that seriously bugs me is the active tiles as i use them alot (for eg to swop 2g to 3g,or wifi on/off)

great rom overall,but ill only use it once thats fixed up or someone provides a solution please?

thanks though

[edit] found a new bug,when you put 4 toggles on the nav bar (i like the menu button added and the traditional android one gone) it works fine,but when switching to phablet mode,these buttons center, leaving about a 10dp space on each edge,instead of the buttons being spaced out on the nav bar,it doesnt use all the space of the navbar intended

http://www.emccann.net/dho/2-Commotio/B59/

http://d-h-o.us/home/?p=363

Download only B59 and not B60 or B61 cos they've lots of bugs and the dev has advised not to flash them.

Only Meow kernel v.04 works.

Again Commotio is basically just Vanir with a few visual tweaks.

No dt2w !! :crying: Why ?

Everything else running well.

One more request, try to add twrp as well since all my backups are on twrp due to meow kernel.

Which Cpu governor do u recommend ? Plenty of new ones and I haven't used any until now.

Edit: on switching to Nightmare governor system hangs and has to be reset.

Also

Do I need to change these values if yes, then how ?

Good job! So far so good, the pie in notification panel is fixed :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Tap to wake features will be included in the next build. For now, I need to make sure the kernel is stable first. :)

The built-in CWM touch recovery supports TWRP backup formats as well.

Will remove Nightmare governor in the next build. It's too old to fix.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Carphedon:
This is not true for as far as i know, they may be supported on paper but twrp backups can not be found in recovery menu, had this before when switching kernels or am i missing some setting or something? I would like TWRP to due to this, also i think it is easier to work with.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Are you using trickster to set at boot?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Next build will include this. This was the first release of the kernel so I refrained from adding all features at once. As you can see, some governors are already unstable.

all is working great,love the new kernel. except the 2 bugs ive mentioned previously still do not work.

2. still named c6606 in settings (not a bother though)

please also look into adding gpu oc to next build.

Thanks!

battery life depends on your usage. but if i were to guess its as good as carbon. since i overclock battery life isnt much for me but i preffer performance over battery as i am always near a charger generally.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xIceCream:
Yet again, stuck in lockscreen after reboot

what i did before hand:

clean wipe ( full wipe everything )

flash rom then gapp.

then restore everything using titaniumbackup, then i went to change to my desire settings in the phone then follow by reboot.

then bam, stuck at lockscreen, cant do anything. only can hard reset.

went into recovery and format only system, then flash rom again.

boot up then shows optimizing apps, then run smoothly from there.

no idea why this happen..

and wonder why no one get this weird bug/error, only me. O_O

edit: after flashing rom after formatting system. google account sudd dissapear out of no reason, cant even open play store and google related apps, so i tried flashing gapps, then lots of bug pops out. gosh, idk whats wrong. maybe my phone just dont like vanir ?

sorry about that. but i'll still support you whatever you do!
