Still can't get GPS working

Hi,

I restored back my Mik4.3 again to see if I can get the nav working with GPS. I tried all your suggestions, but all I get is "checking navigation availability"?

Does anybody have other ideas on how I can make this work. On Mik 4.2, it works flawlessly.

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeemann77:
No issues here, and love the new menu icons. Everything is working smooth as silk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
Honestly I never figured out what the terminal app is even good for. I'm not sure if you're supposed to be able to use adb with it but if you are I've never been able to get it work. I can get SU permission but it always says something like adb not installed. I've never messed with linux stuff before so I'm not familiar with it at all, now if it was dos I might stand a chance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Just checking, you haven't flashed a different kernel over the ones that Mik provides have you? Kernels affect the GPS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Missing apps mystery, unsolved!

Well, I restored my 4.3 apps2sd nandroid and it didn't appear to be mounting my ext3 partition.

So, I backed up my entire sd card fat32 to my laptop, then used Amon's RA 2.2.1 to totally reformat my sd card with 32MB swap, 512MB ext2 and the rest of the 8GB card as Fat32. I then used RA to upgrade ext2 to ext3. I then copied everything back to the sd card and rebooted. Then the ext3 partion was showing (and bootup was blazing fast btw) and everything looked fine.

From this I conclude that whatever ext3 I must have had on there was a leftover from my migration from G1-Samsung Behold-Samsung Moment-EVO (yes, had the same sd card all this time!) and therefore was never getting mounted, therefore the dissappearing apps issue probably has nothing to do with apps2sd at all.

For what its worth, I decided to stick with my V4.3 setup until the official 4.4 with apps2sd is released. 4.4 Beta looked great, but not that much more that I want to nandroid back to it for now.

I guess my abbreviation for the file name came out a little misleading. This .zip has the Flat Black Theme+classic circle battery+Riptide Animations+Android Robot on Notification Background: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wvw91...icationBkgrnd-ClassicCircleBattery-signed.zip

I edited the .zip name to be more clear.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
beta's running good for me!

i like the menu buttons, not too dramatic. looks like you missed one in the gmail app. the accounts icon, looks like you got the text tho. i almost never use the gmail app, so its whatever to me.

as for the android guy, i could care less if we have it. but if we do don't do both, background or bottom bar. and no stupid apple pic with the slash circle.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
Sorry it it is a dumb question but how do I change the boot animation on this rom? I cant find it in system/customize etc??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I just flashed 4.3 coming from stock so far and this ROM is sick. Tons of free space and very smooth. One issue I've come across is when i tried to set the right button of the launcher to camera and got an error message when i press it. Attached a screenshot of the error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Just wanted to post for all who are interested.....Konikub will be making his themes 100% compatible with MikFroyo so no optimizations will be lost. He wasn't aware before about the difference in the base as he uses Myn's rom but after talking to him, giving him a brief explanation, and linking Aamikam's threads, he said he will make it happen for all the MikFroyo faithful! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Acapella75:
Very nice rom. This thing is fast! I think I found my new favorite. Awesome job.

Couple things I encountered and I don't know if they've been addressed. The wifi signal strength is hard to read against the black background. Same for the cell signal. Also, the phone has randomly rebooted twice now and that has never happened to me before. Is that a known issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eboothjr:
sorry if this has already been mentioned but i had the same problem and found this info on how to fix the problem and it worked for me. hope it helps

1. I stopped the Maps application, cleared the cache and deleted the data from the maps application via Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications; Tab "All"; Application "Maps"; Force stop; Clear cache; Clear data

2. I opened the Maps application (not Navigation) and accepted the change message

3. I went back to the home screen and started the Navigation application

4. Accepted the message

5. Navigation works like a charm
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its in system/media.

but ill change it for u guys on 4.4 so it will be easier to change it as if it's a regular stock rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
as for the icon... its diff in 4.4.

as for the random reboot... not sure what to say... first time i see someone having this specific issue.

my thinking is that if one person have it working everyone can have it working... so maybe a reflash or a redownload of the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thanks for the trouble man... im happy he will, he was the inspiration for the white taskbar (his detox theme anyways) and the most if not all the task bar icons i use now and/or on my other themes.

ill drop him a thank you in a pm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys...

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka ?!?! wtf?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
this is how the app works... its kinda sad but some processes cannot work with it.

if u'd like i can make a flashable that will make the camera link unchangeable... but thats the best i can do to make it work for the cam.

again, thanks myn for his rosie setting app and JsChisurf for the remapping info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
I just figured by getting another accomplished themer on-board, it would give users more options and therefore level the playing field in the Mik/Myn "battle"....... as the saying goes, "variety is the spice of life"......lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
Oh this rom is definitely superfly
[EVO 4G Android Development] bscholt22:
kernel probs

I cannot flash a kernel unless it stops my cam app. Every time that I go to go to the cam it goes blank and reboots. Any ideas?

What hardware #
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
I had the weirdest thing happen, I flashed MikFroyo 4.3, had it all set up the way I like it (nothing major I'm not a heavy tweaker) and went to do a nandbackup and it just kept going and going and going...never finished...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Admit it, you are just trolling for "thanks". Well you got one from me dammit! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Yeah, you need to clear cache and dalvik cache before nandroiding in Amon Ra 2.2.1.

This is due to the effect of pink elephants on the orbit of Pluto. In other words, I have no idea why that is, that's just how it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Is 2.1.1 a version? If it is then that's what I got. I almost feel like going back to 1.8 just for the simplicity.

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Mik,

Checked out Myn's RLS5 last night. Noticed that your Setup > Applications is MUCH quicker than his. I think in general, Myn's roms have always been a bit sluggish when it comes to r/w operations and populating all the icons in Applications definitely shows that.

Graphically from a speed perspective, Mik wins this one :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
2.2.1 is the latest version:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10277226&postcount=1

It is worth the extra little hassles because they nandroid feature is more robust.

P.S., If you have nandroided using Amon Ra 2.2.1 and you want to change the names of your nandroids using a file manager, don't - you can corrupt the nandroid by doing so and get a nasty surprise. That's one benefit that CR has over AR, the ability to give nandroids meaningful names.

UPDATE: Apparently you can change names, just no spaces or funky characters.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I changed my nandroid names with 1.8 all the time.

Is it because of faulty characters?

No name changing AT ALL?

[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
And here I thought I washed the red off my hands but, alas, you've caught me....;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I appreciate it but I can probably live without it. Maybe I'll just remap to the XDA app so I'll know when 4.4 comes out quicker :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I'm pretty sure this has been brought up in AMON's thread and you should be able to rename afterwards as long as there are no spaces in the name. Use periods and underscores. Standard disclaimer of course.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ah probably my bad than. Wasn't careful about spaces.

before i push beta II i wanna make sure thats what u guys wanted when u asked for the robot on the pull down.

here is the screen shot.

if no one objects.. thats what ill leave on by default. (i can make it bigger r maybe move it to the side, or maybe make his eyes trans so u can see the back, just some thoughts)

let me know what u guys think.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Sweet! I think that's great. Any possibility to make it a BIT less transparent?

[EVO 4G Android Development] welshwarriorsf:
DLed your rom straight to my phone. Really is very fast, very impressed. Thanks a lot. Android in the notification dropdown looks great.

Sent from my Evo 4G using the XDA app
[EVO 4G Android Development] dannyboyj:
That looks great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
Thanks a lot, I'll try that,

Only problem I have is that when did a nand backup on Myn RLS5 with 2.2.1 i had no problems and didn't have to clear cache and davlik, but clearing those isn't a big deal...I'll probably reflash mik in the next few days and try it out again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
I ended up flashing the "not background" anyways and saw what you are talking about. One word: AWESOME!

Thanks for responding and for creating all those mods. Like I said before, this phone just keeps getting better and better thanks to you and Mr. Mik.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nrage23:
The notification screen looks awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ericwgarza1:
Can u flip the image and put robot on the other side? I think it would help balance things out. Looks great!

Sent from my panty-dropper.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i think ill change it up a little also... just for fun.

ill make it a little bit bigger and a few more things... u guys will see in a little bit.

and u can tell me what u liked better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
IMO, I say put him on the left side of the screen, but other than that, it looks phenomenal. I can't wait for the final 4.4!

EDIT: Looks like Eric beat me to it. I agree it will definitely balance things out! Nice job, gentlemen.

[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Will the change allow for sound? I changed it to the nfs aosp zip but from what I understand when the boot is in this location it doesn't allow for sound.

sent from the dark side
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
technically i can pick the name of the sound that plays on boot and the name of the anim and locations and such.

but by default it is set to the sprint one... so ill change it back to the default sprint one. (the location i mean)
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Thanks for the explanation. Your Rom is by far the best one I've tried. Haven't had a problem with anything, and the black look is real sleek. I thank you sir.

sent from the dark side
[EVO 4G Android Development] snovvman:
Mik, please do explain. From what I read in the Hulu thread, it seems that one simply needs to edit the libflashplayer.so in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ to the WIN 10,1,102,64 value and set premissions.

I don't understand where FlashPlayer.apk come in to play and why the update needs to be uninstalled?

As an alternative, why can't I simply take the libflashplayer.so from /system/data of my 4.2 ROM and overwrite the file located in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/?

Thank you.

Edit: The only reason I can think of NOT to overwrite is that the .so file is changed enough so that it won't work with flashplayer.apk 106. If that is the case, will the first scenario I describe work?

This post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10532825&postcount=167 seemingly contains the edited file that would allow for an easy overwrite?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok, here is the thing.

most apps and such actually look for files inside the system/lib and not the data/data/appname/lib.

but, if u install and app from the market it will look for it inside the data/data/appname.

again... keep in mind that im not an expect on anything android besides the fact that i just find ways to make things work.

now...

the hex editing method didnt actually work btw... just to let everyone know.

i had to use a diff version of the "libflash...so: file which is set to a diff flash version to get it going.

so... i gave insturction into how to do this... but u can either wait for 4.4 or grab the one from the beta.

u want the FlashPlayer.apk and libflashplaer.so files.

thats it... just make sure u uninstall the new flash from the market.

the only reason they r telling u to simply put the file in the data/data folder is cuz they assume u updated flash ... and then its looking for the lib file in there and not in system btw.

this is a way to cleanup files from your system folder also btw.

just to let those who wonder how come my system/lib is missing a lot of files, i cleaned it out (thanks to clak rom i saw how to do this btw, and u can compare with myn's for example to see how many files he keeps compared to mine).

i hope that help more people into how to clean up the rom from crap btw.

edit:

keep in mind that i dont know what im doing... but i do get things working... so thats why i never go into other thread and comment on how they do things... i do things completely diff than 90% of the devs here on the forums... and i guess the bottom line is... it works, and it works good... so i leave all the theories alone.

i a almost never look into other threads btw... i have an idea of how it will work and it ends up working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Apps2sd please!

Hey Miko,

If it isn't too much trouble, could you throw in the script and also release an apps2sd version of 4.4 Beta II?:confused:

I can't believe how much faster the apps2sd version boots up now that I got my sd card reformated correctly! :eek: I go from cold start to full up in less than 1 minute with my setup: 8GB Class 6 SD card, 32 MB swap, 512MB ext3 partition and the rest FAT32.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its a beta man... i dont mind either way... but the non-apps2sd version had been d/l 2 times more than the apps2sd version... thats the only reason i keep the non as the beta.

personally i wouldn't mind switching to apps2sd as the beta... but im not making 2 beta versions... why would i?

nothing is changing in the scripts so no reason to do 2 version.

all i do is change the packages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snovvman:
Thanks. So if I understand you correctly, I can simply get the flashplayer.apk and libflashplayer.so from the 4.4 ROM and push them (overwrite) into their respective /system/ folders, after I uninstalled the update from Market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes, thats all u need.

ohh... and grab the libssysshare.so also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I thought the only thing different for apps2sd was the inclusion of a few lines in one of the startup scripts? Oh well, thats how it used to be. If its too much trouble, no big deal. My 4.3 apps2sd is running fine for me so I'll just shut up and await the formal 4.4 release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no man... the kernel also has some diff entires.

again... ill say it... im no expert... but thats what i noticed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snovvman:
Mik, presuming they are available now, can you release the three files from 4.4 and put them in a zip? Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
For what it is worth, I am running the setup in my sig right now, with the different kernel, and apps2sd is functioning fine.

I was just going on my old G-1 Cyanogen ROM experience. Many of us were taking his releases and just adding a few lines in one of his startup scripts to get the functionality. His approach may have been different than the one you are using, his was based on creating symlinks and mounting the ext3 partition in the startup, that was all we did. Kernel was the same.

Having said that, I am even less than an expert than you claim not to be on this issue, so I will defer to your experience. As you said in an earlier post, you do things different than other devs, but it always works, and always works well! So again, stay the course and I'll stay on the beta sidelines this time for you until you feel ready to do a final release of 4.4 in both versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Aamikam I just had to say that had just put up all the same menu png's you did in 4.4, lol. I guess I should have just waited for 4.4 for time sake. Anyway I maintained your optimization so I glad to say I don't have to change anything. I might pm you what I have done when I finish. Maybe you might want to extract it all as a theme or something. Not quite do.e but when I am I'll let you know. Or I can extract it as a theme for you, doesn't matter. I made a lot of changes. It's up to you how you want me to handle this. I don't like posting new threads, FYI.

rom manager shows 2.2.2 as the latest version. I have been running this since sunday. though I don't think rom manager ever showed 2.2.1

i flashed 2.2.1 through the bootloader on sunday and then after flashing 4.3 and installing my apps rom manager updated RA to 2.2.2, i made a nandroid with out clearing cache or dalvik just fine. i did clear it before i restored it the next day.

i don't know if its a different version or just tagged wrong by rom manager. just throwing it out there.

Q: can you upload the apk for the google search widget,i accidentally deleted mine while trying to install a transparent one, or do you have a transparent one already that I could install? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
I'm guessing by the title, that you have not yet rooted your phone. If this is the case, then we will need to know your HBOOT version, and your hardware version.

HBOOT - Turn off phone, then hold volume down + power. When the white screen comes up find your HBOOT version. Should be up top.

Hardware - You can find this under about phone in your settings.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mich2Ga:
If it's anything like the other ReEngineered, Whoa... Great Work
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
it will format your system anyways... but i would suggest a full wipe either way... but u can always try to only wipe dalvik and cache and see what happens if u'd like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
it actually just got faster...

the base was fast... i think this version is "wow" fast.

i opt images here and added some speed tweaks... those things didnt exist in the bas rom version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] miguelfp1:
gonna try it in a few, but meanwhile, is there any way to get haptic feedback back on the dialer?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes... but ill have to make a mod that puts it back in.

will make sure to do that for u asap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok.... here is a zip to cancel the hotspot/tether hack for all the paying customers.

this should only be flashed if u pay sprint for tethering cuz u dont need a tweak that will mess with your 4g tethering.

p.s.

all mods will be added in to the second post for now... later on when my themed roms will come up it will be moved to the third post cuz the second one will become screen shots.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
eh whats up w the mik froyo thing does it do that for a min on first boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
a quote from the update script:

thats my boot animation... i took out the sprint one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
OK guys... gonna go see a movie with the family now... so ill have to come back later to doing more.

by morning u guys will have a mod to bring back hepatic feedback to the dialer and approx 10 diff transition animations to choose from.

have fun.

Hi Guys,

I just flashed this ROM and I have to say is Fast! I am testing google nav and it is stuck on "Checking navigation availability". Also, the bluetooth bug from the previous version still present. When you disconnect from your BT it displays an FC from the Sense app. I hope this helps. I will keep testing.

thanks man, i appreciate it. enjoy the movie!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:

i will try to put up a zip with the original un-modified bt apks so u guys can see what will happen if u use them...

again... by morning.

I did not do a system wipe since I was coming from the ReEngineered ROM and no problems. I wiped cache and dalvik only. That saved so much time. All my settings and apps are there.

Dang this looks good. I really want to try it but don't have time to do so tonight :(

Gotta Love this!

I have been running these reengineered ROMS sinced they were first released. I have tried the different GB ROMs that have popped up recently, but always end up nandroiding back to aamikam's ROMs cuz they are just so smooth and everything works! No trying to find the right radio or kernel to get WiFi or 4G to work, just load up this baby and you are ready to rock and roll.

Thanks for all the hard work guys (esp aamikam!):)
