[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsm86:
Hey guys

I ordered two At&t compatible nexus's about a month ago and they finally got here on friday (had to wait till a friend visited from the states).

Both of them are still dead stock and I plan on waiting for the official froyo (or until the "newness" wears off and I feel more inclined to root and such).

My question is regarding wifi signal. I did a search and noticed a couple of guys had the same problem but no solution. Wifi reception is really weak! On both phones it's virtually the same.

I know the stock driver that came with it is outdated, and doesn't even support wireless-n. My wrt54g linksys is 802.11g based, running on dd-wrt firmware and it shows the phones with very weak signals and they won't even connect in areas where i usually get 3 bars or so with laptops.

So my question is, is there something I can do to improve it? Also, have any of you running Froyo noticed a signal reception improvement on G only networks?

Really wish this were better as I'm not on a data plan and my room is far away from the router.

How I made CM5 NoneDanger Flashable

Its quite simple really, I get the updater-script to run a script which figures out if the phone is NoneDanger, then makes so symlinks to redirect the google apps/bootanimation.zip

I inserted the bold into the updater script

show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Installing system...");
format("MTD", "system");
[B]ui_print("Check for NoneDangerSPL...");
package_extract_file("InstallPrep.sh", "/tmp/InstallPrep.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/InstallPrep.sh");
run_program("/tmp/InstallPrep.sh");
ui_print("Check for NoneDangerSPL complete");[/B]
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);

and this is the script which runs

( I'll come back and add some comments to it.. maybe )

this is for, I don't know , maybe more stuff I guess
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Firerat, any plans to do your thing to other CM5 based roms like Superbad or Super E like you did with the original and Cannon's?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
nope, I have no plans to install every themed CM5 ROM

but

Post #2 has everything that is required to make an AnySPL version

the InstallPrep.sh script may need a little bit of tweaking if much has been added to /system
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
CM5.0.8 test 1 added
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Nor did I expect you to, before long there will be about 15 different offshoots of CM. I just wanted to know if I should be adding this thread to my other XDA bookmarks just in case you decided to do any updates or test out other roms. Appreciations.

And that's why I bookmarked the thread! ;) Thank you so very kindly.
[G1 Android Development] elfasito:
FC (in g1), sounds are audible in the front speaker (low sound) , in experimental 5.0.8 and FR-CM-5.0.7-DS-AnySPL_S.

This may be the cause?
[G1 Android Development] can teh man:
I registered to post this here.

Flashed the rom, lovin it.

Running FR-CM-5.0.7-DS-AnySPL

I'm having the same as elfasito.

Sound comes from front earpiece speaker, rear speaker does not work

I can confirm that audio is messed up on FR-CM5test6-4AnySPL_S.zip as well.

This isn't really a dealbreaker, but it certainly is annoying. If you could fix this, I will donate to either you or Cyanogen, your choice Dev.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
has nothing to do with the redirection of bootanimation.zip or the google apps
[G1 Android Development] elfasito:
In this case, where the problem might reside speaker?.

FC apparently occurs only in these edited versions.

or at least reading the threads of the original rom cyanogeno, no one has the same problem.

anyway good job Firerats, you gave me eclair without risk of losing my g1 in the process :), I hope the problem will be resolved soon
[G1 Android Development] can teh man:
I can testify that speaker phone does not work either.
[G1 Android Development] sllim-kun:
Awesome Firerat!

You my friend have allowed me to try 2.1 on my phone. kudos. but i to am experiencing the usb connectivity problem. happened when I attempted to tether via usb...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
this is a general CM5 issue,

it seems to happen after using a wall charger, don't use a wall charger

CM5.0.8 test1's Kernel is suppose to resolve it, I have noticed heavy battery drain with 508test1, but turning wifi off does seem to help
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
tell you what,

you tell me how the fact that google apps are on data and not system causes your problem and I will have a good hard look at resolving it
[G1 Android Development] Kid_Ding:
thank you Firerat for all your contributions! I've been wanting to try CM508 T1! I have not been experiencing any of the issues mentioned so far. This is so smooth! Thanks again :D
[G1 Android Development] ericwong:
Battery drain issue

I upgraded my G1 from Android 1.6 to CM 5.0.7 . Even though I run the same apk as Android 1.6, CM 5.0.7 drain my battery from 100% to 0% in about 10hr (wifi off).

Anyone else notice this issue as well?

I found in cyanogenmod forum that others are reporting the same issue but there is no mention on this thread....

(CyanogenMod Forum > Stable MOD > HTC Dream / HTC Magic -> Severe Battery Drain with CM5 )

I am still trying to figure out how to fix this, otherwise, I have no choice but to go back to Android 1.6.

Btw, CM 5.0.7 runs slower than the official ADP1 derived Android1.6 rom, espeically when returning to the homescreen, takes forever to load.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Firerat has made this thread for all of us without the want/desire to go the DangerSPL route to be able to experience CM5. It's the same exact rom, just reconfigured to work on any spl, so that's why you see no (or shouldn't see many) mentions of issues with the rom here. It's best to check the official CM5 thread because others in that thread may be able to help with similar issues and this thread is more for Firerat keeping us up to date with his AnySPL versions. Hope that helps a little.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Minor note:

These patches work just fine for 508T3 still, no modification required.

Easiest way to patch is to just copy FR's InstallPrep.sh and update-script from the 508T1 package into CM's 508T3 package and re-sign.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
I made my own as well.. it installed, so I think it was correct.. I saw the messages about checking for NoneDanger, altho that was all I noticed, so I believe that confirms I got the modified updater-script to run.

But I seem to have an issue with gapps... posted in the CM5 thread.. any help appreciated. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6739940&postcount=1171

I'm not convinced I got Installprep to run correctly... when I look in /data/gapps, I don't see links.. (using ls -al, unless they are displayed differently than in every unix I've used)

perhaps if my wipe was not complete.. and the apks were still there, then the linking would fail... and thus the problem I'm seeing?

The 00ndbanner does exist in /system/etc/init.d, so that suggests InstallPrep did run, and we're back to some issue with my wipes. I will rewipe and try again.

EDIT:

that was it.. all seems good after factory reset wipe and reinstall.

Hi guys

If you are looking for a Tablet Touch Screen,

If you are fine with Windows,

If you don’t want a bigger phone than the smart phone you already have, but something having more power and functionality

If you want to keep using your USB memory stick to transfer you last holidays photos because 4Go in Bluetooth takes time…

If you want to arrive at your mate house, a join the network without having to enter credential, and just by plugging an Ethernet cable to the router.

If you want to chat with a webcam

If you want 3G

If you want to be able to display on an external screen (working with Excel on 10” ??, no thanks)

If you are clever enough for multitasking ;)

If you want to be able to get 1 or 2 Gb of Ram

If you want to be sure that your not buying an under configured device, just because some marketing guy want you to buy a “v2.0” in a year.

And if you don’t want to break the piggy bank for all that

Well don’t get an iPad, get something else, something like a TEGA Touch.

I just find that Tablet looking for iPad alternative.

Weighting just 1 kilo, and for price starting at AU$1,086.8, I was pleased to see that for such price, there is an iPad alternative containing

With these specs in the box, you can expect to do what you are normally doing with a computer, not only surfing on the web and read e-book.

I can see easily how the specifications of the TEGA Touch will suit me.

- Sick, working from home? Fed up about being seated in the living room doing a power point for your boss. Transfer all the files on your slate (thanks USB port), grab your slate, go on the couch and keep working with just a stylus. Using PDF, Excel, Internet, eMail at the same time to make your presentation. No worries, you can multitask… The presentation is getting huge (100Mo), no worries, you have 2Gb of Ram.

- Back from holidays? 30Gb of photos to transfer (thanks again USB) and classify… And doing that, you like to get multiple photos open at the same time, so after applying gamma and contrast corrections you can pick the best ones. Well 2Gb of Ram and Multitasking is for you.

- Cooking dinner at home? You just want to listen to internet radio while checking recipes on the net, well, multitasking is for you again.

Does that look far from what you’re doing all the time with your computer? No too far really, this is why I’ll prefer to get a Tega than a iPad.

I don't believe it.
[Off-topic] mrj:
Ummm.... what dont you believe?

You can check their website and reviews on the web, they have been producing industrial tablets/slates for quite a while...

ps. hahah I dont work for them although you could be forgiven for thinking I do.

Also they are several hundred dollars cheaper if you dont need the OS.

I like it!!!!
[Off-topic] K69:
Too expensive.

Ill get a WeTab. :D

Now that's a sexy beast!

I want to have that, however it's way too expensive! I will just wait when the price drops! :D

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
I really need help, i cant get into my recovery..

I flashed The new recovery and then i flashed the 2.6.2 rom

and now i cant get into the recovery menu..

Please help!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
What recovery image? And what 2.6.2 ROM? Did you use the Sprint RUU?

Edit. Oh. Darchdroid. nm. Which recovery image?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
His recovery menu nor any other recovery menu..

I tried to put another recovery on it but nothing is working
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
How are you trying to get to recovery? If you're using adb, do adb shell reboot recovery.

Or try powering off, then holding home and hitting the power button. I've had mixed success in getting to a recovery menu with quickboot and other menu based recovery boots.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Im trying both, but it just hangs at the HTC screen
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Um. How are you flashing your recovery images?

I might try nandroiding back to a previous ROM then doing a flash_image recovery 'yourrecoveryimgname' and see if that helps.

You might also check the darchdroid thread and see if there's anything in there. I don't use it so I'm not sure, but I seem to remember others having issues with certain recovery images.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchstar:
why don't u just flash back to godspeed recovery for the time being, until i can get my 1.7 recovery sorted out for everybody's use
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
I tried to re-root with Adb, then i tried Flash-rec

Cant get into Recovery menu to do The nandroid
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
There ya go, from the man himself. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Use flash_image from an adb shell.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Okay i will try
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Help with commands?

Or can i try to use this Da** Flashrec?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comintern:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/whatever-the-recovery.img

Just to warn, I had the same problem and had to run the 1.56 RUU and re-root to get the recovery sorted out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Yeah thats what i tried to do, but im not on a normal rom or something, im on the 2.6.2 Rom. So i cant run it.. And i cant flash another rom with out being in the recovery can i?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Sorry!

Nothing is working right now, i keep trying to flash this recovery menu, but it still just hangs at the HTC screen so i cant boot into the recovery menu
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:
Here this will fix your problems.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnie23:
Thankx, im going to try this 1, havent tried anything with the new RUU, but i will keep you updated if it works and if it doesnt

Hey im going to be on for a while i can step you through this. Just pm me and we can find a easier way to talk a.k.a., Irc chat server, face book chat dont matter to me

hell or just call me
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooolone2:
If it doesn't work, tell us too what errors you are getting so that maybe we can help.

I had the same problem recently where I had adb shell and root access, phone worked fine, all except for no recovery console and I could not flash ANYTHING to the phone. So if you have the same errors, I might be able to offer assistance.

Happy Trails!

:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattshaver:
Here is a simple fix. I had this problem my self, after I flashed something I shouldn't have :D

Go download the rooted test 2.1 RUU by damage. (use search to find it)

MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY HAS AT LEAST HALF A CHARGE.

Run the RUU and follow the instructions.

Your recovery partition is probably f***ed. This is an EASY way to fix it.

Once the RUU finishes. Re-flash the recovery img of your choice using ADB + Fastboot. (search for guide)

Flash Custom ROM

Done

Well, technically we are taking advantage of poorly written Linux code, which is a security exploit....which in most other cases would be considered hacking. Any way you force your way into N elevated roll on any kind of computer could be considered...bad, for lack of a better word.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vince.26:
So I had cyanogenmod 5.0.7 installed and I decided to try the new smoki rom, I realized I had to update radio so I tried the radio tool and all I get was writing radio..... and nothing else it just stayed there for a good 15 minutes. Any ideas?

I have the 32A and it was rooted with a gold card. I can get into fastboot but nothing else. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
We need more info. Do you have a mytouch 1.2/Fender Edition Mytouch? If so, you cannot run anything other than stock spl and radio (1.33.0013 for spl and radio 2.22.23.02)

The good news is that if you do have a mt3g 1.2/ Fender LE, it is not bricked since you can still get into fastboot. From there, you would need to make another goldcard, load the sappimg that contained the engineering spl and then flash stock radio, amon ra's recovery, and stock spl once again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vince.26:
Normal Htc

Its a normal magic i.e. rogers branded without headphone jack does. Do i have to do the golden card thing even if I rooted it before? could you point me to a guide for rerooting I'm kind of a n00b:P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Okay, since it is not a mt3g 1.2/Fender LE, I don't think you have to reroot. Can you boot up the phone, can you get into recovery, and can you get into hboot (vol down + power button) ? And what is the spl version right now?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vince.26:
HTC MAGIC

all I can do is get into hboot and fastboot when I try recovery I just the rogers loading screen and it doesnt go away. my spl i think is 1.76.2007 and my current radio says 3.22.20.17 but i did fastboot radio erase and it still shows it. I have tried fastboot flash recovery then booting recovery but it doesnt work I have also tried fastboot flash radio with like 3 different radio images and that didnt work. I'm kind freaking out because I have 0 warranty lols.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Don't freak out, it's not bricked. Don't expect to be able to flash anything if you dont have engineering spl (1.33.2010). Now, I don't have a traditional 32a magic, so this might be the best solution to your problem, however, this is what I know will work.

You need to make a goldcard again and load the engineering spl on it. (I'll look for the link in a bit)/

Then, you boot into Hboot mode and it'll automatically flash the spl for you.

Afterwards, you go into fastboot, flash whatever radio you had originally, then the amon ra recovery image, and then whatever spl you had before.

Lastly, you go into recovery and flash cyanogenmod back. Once you finish doing all of that, I'll help you get the other rom on your magic if you need help.

I'll look for the file you need in a minute. I gotta finish up my physics homework.

EDIT:

Okay. These two guides can explain things a lot better than I can. Choose whichever one you can do more reasily.
