I have decided not to build a ROM anymore. Instead, I have been working on the "Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers" so that you can use almost ANY ROM (including CM6) with MetroPCS AND Cricket, yes, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers will also support Cricket.
As you can see, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers is an open-source project and you can contribute to it.
Here's the current TODO list:
- BUG: Proxy actually not updating properly when setting it through the sqlite db.
- Find out the correct ip for the mms proxy server for both MetroPCS and Cricket.
- Find out the correct network interface used by the Motorola Droid on FroYo.
- Find out the correct eri.xml file for cricket.
- Setup screen first time it runs & check for the following on every boot.
- Automatically setup APN.
- Check build.prop and modify it if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if modified)
- Check /data/eri.xml and install the new one if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for u2nl binary, if not available install it in /system/bin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for sqlite3 binary, if not available install it in /system/xbin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Drop database tables and replace them with appropriate Carrier Settings in: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
- Document, organize and maybe improve configuration screen.
- It needs a better icon.
As you see, at this point is not complete, mostly due to the fact that the Proxy is not changing properly unless you reboot. It must be a stupid mistake on my part. I have been really busy lately and I have only been working on this when I get some free time, I figured somebody could contribute to this
If you'd like to test it go to the github link here and click on the Downloads tab and there should be an alpha version in there. I'll be building new versions whenever I clear out any of the items in the TODO list above.
Thank you.

How do you get metropcs on the Dinc....I would love to know
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
there's shops that will flash any cdma phone over to metro. That's why you see sprint and verizon phones with bad ESN #s selling on craigslist

- Use the ##778 programming instruction just like as if you were flashing a Droid Eris.
- Find somebody (a dealer most likely) to put the ESN into MetroPCS's database.
- Flash this rom (hopefully it'll be completely done soon)
WOW!! Ok I am currently running CyanogenMod 6.0RC1 on a HTC Sprint Hero and had a vendor here in town who gets ALL Verizion\Sprint CDMA phones on MetroPCS hook me up. He uses DamageControl 1.0 and everything works except the market of course..It does work on WiFi however.
My problem began when I just did NOT have consistent internet. It just was hit and miss. WiFi worked no problems. So I started messing around with different ROMS with NO luck at all. I have wiped and wiped (phone and SD card)everything you could do..Still notta!!! So I am super curious if this would work? I really just need my dam internet to work..It would be awesome if it was on this CyanogenMod 6 ROM...It's smoking and appears to be the best ROM I have found for a Hero..Man if anyone could help me get this baby on the net...I would be willing to pay. I think my settings are off honestly...HELP!
Your thoughts?

It will work for you, but you must be sure to take one very important step before you attempt this, or you will end up with a bricked phone.
Buy a HTC Droid Incredibile
Using this rom, or any other rom for the incredible on a device that is not an incredible will result in an unusable phone, if not bricked forever!

That's completely right.
The beauty of what I'm doing here, is that, just like I did for the Droid Incredible and the Droid, it could also be done for the Hero and the EVO, since CM supports all of these devices. As long as the source is completely open of course.
Once I fix these issues with the u2nl binary not working properly, I'll update my winzip and build the "roms" for the Droid, EVO and Hero.
For now, this build above only works for the Droid Incredible.
Nice would this work for my flash metropcs hero? Please let me know.
Thanks

I have forked and prepared a vendor repo to build CM6 for MetroPCS on the Dinc.
DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOUR PHONE IS ON METROPCS AND YOU KNOW WHAT METROPCS IS.
Reason why I did this was so that anyone that wanted to "flash" a Dinc/Droid to MetroPCS didn't have so much of a hard time doing it, and also so that everything worked out of the box (including internet on apps, connected to wifi or not).
I also managed to build a little service "app" that runs on the background and detects changes on the state of wifi connections, and it activates/deactivates proxy (and u2nl) depending on that.
Wifi Disconnected = Proxy/U2NL activated
Wifi On = Proxy/U2NL deactivated
When proxy/u2nl is active, all data goes through MetroPCS's proxy server, otherwise use wifi's internet connection.
At this point, it works great, but it's unfinished.
- Calls and SMS work perfectly with no issues at all.
- MMS can be sent and received with no issues either.
- On wifi, everything works perfectly.
- On MetroPCS data, only browser works, for some reason the u2nl binary it still not working properly.
This is meant to be free and open sourced. Not a paid solution.
The "proxy switcher" also has a configuration screen which allows to change the configuration. You can use a custom proxy, activate/deactivate proxy/u2nl, etc.
If you have the time and know about this, please figure out a way to make the u2nl binary work properly, or contact me, my twitter is in my signature, or you can PM me and we can gchat or email. I have had limited time to work on this these past few days.
Everything is open sourced,
vendor config is here http://goo.gl/ISk6
"wifi switcher" (for proxy) is here: http://goo.gl/2wwM
Also,
If you are interested on doing this on the Motorola Droid, here's the vendor config:
http://goo.gl/kuX3
Here's a built rom, if you'd like to test it
http://bit.ly/aBa5Qr
As soon as you install it, let it boot, and open APN configuration (use AnyCut or BetterCut).
Edit the one that says "metropcs" and on on the username, make replace "MDN" with your phone number, press menu, save, and then click on the radio button for that entry. After that, MMS will work.
This is based off CyanogenMod-6.0.0 and it hasn't been modified at all. All credits go to the CyanogenMod team

I'll tell you what work for me.
You need to the u2nl.zip from whiterabbit.org
In that file you will find the autostart.sh file for htc hero eris under metropcs folder.
I have to edit the autostart.sh file in order to work getting rid off some lines.
This is the file I'm using. autostart.sh
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o rmnet0 -p 6 ! -d 10.223.2.4 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl 10.223.2.4 3128 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit 0
and that's all
I've pushed the files via adb in Clockwork recovery console mounting system and data
adb shell su
cd /data/
mkdir opt
chmod 0777 /data/opt/
chmod 0777 /system/bin/
exit
adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl

Yeah, if you take a good look at the vendor source I posted on the OP, this is basically what I'm doing (especifically this file). At first I tried building u2nl from scratch that didn't work, then, just to try it, I tried the u2nl binary found in whiterabbit.org and that didn't work either.
There's still something wrong with this setup I'm using, but I haven't been able to track it down yet, I did this about 2 weeks ago but lately I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it all

Sorry, I was messing with some files and screwed up the links.
I'm currently rebuilding it again with a few changes I made and also sync'd everything with CyanogenMod's source.
Will post new link tonight and also have builds for the Motorola Droid and HTC EVO.
Updated OP with latest build. This is based on latest CM6.

Thanks! I couldn't sleep so I finally figured it out
I mounted the Skyraider 3.0 RC2 release, everything works except hulu on data without wifi which is ok cause metro is slow data anyhow.
I read past instructions to get data to work I just used whiterabbit u2nl File but it seems he has a "new" folder with an edited autostart which when I pushed it on works fine...
No need to edit anything, I can switch on and off wifi no problems...

Will try it on CM6 now.
Edit: Won't work on CM6 NIGHTLY 08/24.
Works on IncredibleDoes AOSP - FRF91.
I got it working on CM6 RC3.
Now we just need Skyraider with the Froyo Final
Why did you guys have to use the edited autostart though?
Wondering why mine works and its so different...

Hello,
I was interested in getting Hamachi to work on my newly-acquired G1. After applying Cyanogen's Mod and rooting the thing, installing Debian (yay!) and setting up all the nifty scripts to make it semi-permanent, I focused on getting Hamachi to work.
First I tried the Linux tgz but it failed ("wrong architecture, teabag!" it told me.) ..so I looked around some more, and came across a build for the Nokia N770 (Maemo something-or-other) and decided to give it a try, and holy **** if it didn't work (after some tweaking.)
NOTE: YMMV.
Make sure your phone is r00ted. Can't do it without the r00ty-juice. Also, a Debian distro is required. See here for how: http://www.saurik.com/id/10
**EDIT** I just reflashed my G1, so I had the opportunity to try again and figure out the exact steps! Here they are, as they worked for me:
01) Download the N770 Hamachi tarball: http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/nokia-770/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx-n770.tar.gz .
02) Untar/ungzip it, it will extract to hamachi-n770-0.9.9.9-20.
03) cd into there, and run sh ./install.
04) mkdir /dev/net to create the node directory in /dev.
05) mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 to create the tunnel device.
06) apt-get install sudo if you don't already have it.
07) apt-get install libcrypto++7 if you don't already have it.
08) ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
09) sudo tuncfg to get the tunnel driver started.
10) hamachi-init to set up the initial configuration and RSA keys.
11) hamachi start to start up Hamachi.
12) hamachi login to login to the Hamachi network.
13) hamachi set-nick nickname if desired.
14) hamachi join network password if desired.
Success!! Got my G1 online and logged into my Hamachi network! I did apply this Linux fix (to make it stay online within my Hamachi2 network -- this is Hamachi 0.9.9):
echo KeepAlive 10 >/root/.hamachi/config
Maybe overkill, as it's gonna send a ping every 10 seconds over the air, which I'm sure will eat up my battery after a while.
--Weasel5i2
nice! been waiting for something like this for quite some time ;D having some problems though... it won't compile... when i run make install, just keeps on giving me a "Nothing to do for target "install"" Tried removing tuncfg folder and hamachi executable too (which doesn't work btw, says libcrypto is missing), still didn't work... any ideas?
Oh, thanks for reminding me! I also did an apt-get install libcrypto++7 when it gave a linker error.
As far as Make goes, it doesn't really compile (it is precompiled) as much as just copy the binaries to the proper places in the path.. Try doing the install of libcrypto++7 and see if it works for you.
--W5i2
alright... so ive tried installing libcypto 0.9.8 and renamed it to 09.9.7.... however it still says i need to run hamachi-init which doesn"t work!
Edit: alright, got it... i had to do sh install
Thanks, seems to work!
tip: the libcrypto.so.0.9.8 wich you have to rename to libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is located in /usr/lib
Can any of you two (Fish & Zero) whom have gotten this to work confirm what you did, and if "Debian" is needed ?

it does work, it only works on debian at the moment, since the binaries are not designed for android. however, the network connection should work with android too, since debian and android share their connections...
all you need to do is follow the instructions, but also run
apt-get install libcrypto0.9.8 and
mv /usr/lib/libcrypto0.9.8.so /usr/lib/libcrypto0.9.7.so (something like that check ls /usr/lib)
Alright so im still breaking my neck to get this to work but i dont get it.
This guy says "4) Untar/ungzip the file, run 'make install' and it should install without errors/warnings, IIRC.. (I did this last night)". What is he talking about ? Do i download the zip file, extract the folder in it to the root of my SD ? because thats what i have done so far. And if yes after then what comes next ? I cant put his puzzle together. -.- So lost, and i really want this.
You need a working debian on your android for this to work.
and even then its helluva lot of doing magic until it so much as tells you that it's started.
My Problem for example is that when i do: "hamachi start" it tells me that it can'T access the tun device (no such device) but it's there...
Dont worry about it, i went back to Hero after getting Debian working.
Updated PP
I reflashed my phone, so I had a chance to install Hamachi and document it again. As such, I updated the parent post with the correct instructions.
Enjoy, and please let me know if anything doesn't work and I'll happily try and help with troubleshooting.
--W5i2
Hmm almost eberything works except 'hamachi start' wich throws bad response from tuncfg (/dev/net/tun no such device)
Prolly a problem with my debian installation but you got an idea without reinstalling the whole thing?
You need to make the tun device first:
# mkdir /dev/net
# mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
I have since rewritten the original post to have more detailed (and proper) instructions.
^_^
-W-
Tried that after it was posted here in a reply (i think)
But to no avail (tried sudo tuncfg too but nothing changed)
Can't wait to go try this.
Does anyone have any VNC viewers (preferably free) that they recommend for use with this? My computer is behind a NAT router so I need to use Hamachi to access it.

Or my Evo 4G?
I have ubuntu running on my Evo 4G per the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720622
I've followed the hamachi install instructions in this thread, but when I try running "hamachi start" I receive the following:
07 04:33:56.732 [ 0] [6315] tap: connect() failed 111 (connection refused)
Does anyone out there have any idea on how to fix this and get hamachi running?
This would be AMAZING on the Evo. Just imagine the possibilities of remote administration.
I have it working however I can only mount linux shares I cant mount windows drives
and what sucks is the ubuntu image wont let you paste files to filesystem ,root, home, or anywere. only from terminal.
Hello all,
I have a problem. I looked all over and everybody is excited to get their Tab to hook up to Ad Hoc connection. But rarely anybody addresses the issue that follows... It kills regular Wifi!
I cannot connect to any regular wifi now, just my ad hoc connection via my Sprint CDMA Rhodium (touch pro2). I use wifi all the time and running wifi router on my phone all day is not a sensible thing to do.
I tried to put the original wpa file that I had backed up, but still the galaxy cannot connect to regular wifi.
All it says is "connecting" and then "disconnected" and keeps trying to connect to it but never to a point that it says "obtaining ip address"

may sound like a stupid question... but what is chmod?
sorry im pretty good with winmo, but a total noob on android development.
Ok so I downloaded this app called chmod from the market. It's giving me a settings screen with an ability to change numbers and options like read, write, exec...
I feel like this is for the whole system... Not an individual file.
Please help. I really appreciate it! ! !
Thank you

i dont know the app but you can get and terminal app from the market go to the directory you copied the wpa file and write chmod 777 wpa_supplicant and it should be fine you may need su command to get super user access before this command
Did that.
#Su
#Chmod 777 system/bin/wpa_supplicant
Then the terminal registers and goes to next line.
I did reset term, app exited. Wifi doesn't work, ad hoc works
second time I backed out of the app. Still wifi- no, ad hoc-yes
Any clue?
Should I hard Reset?

so you problem is not same as mine. i can tell you what i did exactly maybe it helps.
i didnt use mount commands that wpa-supplicant thread i used androotfile program from the slideme market (normal android market doesnt have this or i couldnt find it) to backup the old one and use it to copy the new one. then got the same problem as you had so go back to old wpa file with again androotfile but still have the same problem. then tried chmod command with the old file and yes it worked (cant remember if i restarted the device) so again copy the new one and chmod it and all started to work.
Actually I just observed that my laptop didn't connect to the internet. So I reset the router and voila! The wifi on my pad works! ! !
All I needed to di was rest the router... stupid me! Didn't think to cover the basics...
And to think, I was soo close to painting a hard reset.. Haha
Thank you so much! ! ! I really appreciate it! !
You are the man!

Hy,
i did everything exactly as described here.
copied new wpa_supplicant to system/bin and thereafter
chmod 777
when i check the permissions with ls -l i can see
wpa_supplicant has following permissions: -rwxrwxrx root root
i can see AD-HOC and "normal" WIFI, but when i want to connect to adhoc, it says: receiving IP Adress, and thats it.
any thoughts?
(i try to connect to my HTC Touch diamond Wm 6.5)

Works like a charm
This fixed my problem getting disconnected from my AP all the time.
Thanks
@kromosto - dude.. THANK YOU! I created an acct on here just to say that. I thought I was in **** water cause my new wpa_supplicant would not work for the life of me, spend hours, and thought the tab was paper weight. Found your post, changed permissions to execute, and I no longer that that 'error' under the Wifi turn-on.
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER..
armageddon!
Dear All,
I am in the same situation with wpa_supplicant on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0, running Froyo, firware: 2.2.2.
I did the following:
1. Download this file: wpa_supplicant
2. Start -> Accessories -> Command Prompt Run as Administrator
3. cd the directory
4. Connect your phone via USB to your computer, then execute the following command:
5. adb shell
6. su
7. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system
8. cp /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /sdcard/wpa_supplicant_ORIGINAL
"/system" is now "rw" mode, original wpa_supplicant is saved.
9. Open another command prompt ( repeat step 2. and 3. ) Then execute the following commands:
10. adb push wpa_supplicant /sdcard/wpa_supplicant
( adb push localfile /remotedir/remotefile )
11. Get back to your other command prompt, and execute the following commands:
12. cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
13. sync
14. chown root.shell /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
15. chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
16. sync
17. exit
18. exit
So at the moment wifi does not work (ad hoc also, but i do not care) I have the original wpa_supplicant file, but I am too noob to restore it. If someone who already managed to get back wifi working could explain what to do it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!!!

So guys, here is a quick tutorial how to fix your nonworking wifi in certain countries. The problem for it not working is that motorolas wifi driver is missing some country codes ... i guess they still live 20-30 years back, if anyone has the will to do it, we might post on motos forums to change the driver int he upcoming updates/releases. Here is the link to working wifi drivers: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V8TGAY0C
if anyone can host it on a better location, feel free to do so.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, YOU OR TO ANYTHING THATS IN RELATION WITH THE PHONE OR YOU.
this tutorial will be for use with adb shell (if anyone wants to make a script or a batch or even cwm flashable out of it, be my guest, i dont really have the time and my knowledge is a tad limited in doing those things )
Prerequisites:
1.the wifix.zip
2.adb on your computer with at least some adb/linux terminal knowledge
3.rooted ATT Atrix (i tested it on mine thats from ATT and several others did too, dont know if anyone tried with the bell or other atrix's but im sure it should work)
4.some common sense
5. i assume you have am external sdcard aswell (if not swap the sdcard-ext for sdcard only to use the internal card)
Code:
TURN OFF WIFI in the settings/wireless networks menu
1.connect phone to computer with us on usb mass storage mode and without adb debugging, create a folder called wififix on your external sdcard, unzip and copy the three .bin files to that folder
2.do the safely remove on windows/linux and than change connection to none, disconnect usb, enable adb debugging and reconnect your phone to the usb
3. run cmd/terminal
4. write as follows, after each line press enter:
adb shell
su (allow su on your phones display if its the first time you are using adb with su)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
rm /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
cp /sdcard-ext/wififix/*.bin /system/etc/firmware/wifi/
chown root /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
chgrp root /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
chmod 755 /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
reboot
5. let your phone reboot, disconnect usb, unlock phone, enter pin, enable wifi and its working.
Feel free to comment in the thread and help eachother with problems and ideas

the driver itself is a tad older version as the one moto has, but everything works for me fine now, several other users reported the same. i wanted to use the driver from the UK atrix (from orange) but its identical with the one from the ATT atrix (even the nvram.txt has region US in and not UK ...), so for the time being this is the only way for a few of us to have a fully functional phone.
one more thing, everyone who uses the fix and it works for him please post on motorolas forum that you have the problem:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/50598
i started the thread just add that its not working.
and I was thinking how can wi-fi be related to country/location?!
because I remember in the old thread that several users from the same country (Qatar) reported the same problem.
I just sent an e-mail about your thread to one of those users who was in contact with me via e-mail while trouble-shooting his problem.
Thanks and gold luck.
Ye, just post in the moto forums that he/you have the same problem.
Does not work
on the line: chmod -R 0755 /system/etc/firmware/wifi
I get: Bad Mode
then I use: chmod 755 /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
and after reboot the same problem... WiFi appears for few seconds and gets lost
crnkoj, since this is the case. do you think using the market enabler app to spoof the SIM carrier will make wifi work in non-supported countries?!
uhm, did you copy the files over properly? the thing is its working for me fine and several others have confirmed this to work. Honestly i dont know why it wouldnt work, did the method from akizakian work for you at least? with the modified and locked settings.db?

Tried that, it wont help. Market enabler spoofs the mcc and mnc, which comes from the sim card itself. The problem here becomes once you have cellular signal and turn on wifi, at that point wifistatetracker request country code from the cellular network, sets it to the one in which country you are and than the driver doesnt reckognise the code and blocks wifi. If you would take lets say a german sim card and put it in in your country wifi still wouldnt work, if you would take your sim card go to germany, turn on wifi and it would work. im trying to get something solved int eh motorola forums but until now only one guy is responding (not sure if hes motorola staff or whatsoever).

Still doesnt work for me. I can see my wireless, and can connect to it. but if I try to go to the market, or anywhere using the browser.. nada
uhm, but your laptop can use the wifi? is it any special encryption maybe, maybe you have to do vpn or stuff?
did you try ping from a terminal emulator?
guys, motorola is gonna fix it with an update it seems
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/50598?start=15&tstart=0
I made an update.zip for CWM if you need it. THis way you just have to apply the update after SBF/root. It SHOULD work....I did not try it.
Thanks Dennis, i was too lazy to do it

So guys, here is a quick tutorial how to fix your nonworking wifi in certain countries. The problem for it not working is that motorolas wifi driver is missing some country codes ... i guess they still live 20-30 years back, if anyone has the will to do it, we might post on motos forums to change the driver int he upcoming updates/releases. Here is the link to working wifi drivers: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V8TGAY0C
if anyone can host it on a better location, feel free to do so.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, YOU OR TO ANYTHING THATS IN RELATION WITH THE PHONE OR YOU.
this tutorial will be for use with adb shell (if anyone wants to make a script or a batch or even cwm flashable out of it, be my guest, i dont really have the time and my knowledge is a tad limited in doing those things )
Prerequisites:
1.the wifix.zip
2.adb on your computer with at least some adb/linux terminal knowledge
3.rooted ATT Atrix (i tested it on mine thats from ATT and several others did too, dont know if anyone tried with the bell or other atrix's but im sure it should work)
4.some common sense
5. i assume you have am external sdcard aswell (if not swap the sdcard-ext for sdcard only to use the internal card)
Code:
TURN OFF WIFI in the settings/wireless networks menu
1.connect phone to computer with us on usb mass storage mode and without adb debugging, create a folder called wififix on your external sdcard, unzip and copy the three .bin files to that folder
2.do the safely remove on windows/linux and than change connection to none, disconnect usb, enable adb debugging and reconnect your phone to the usb
3. run cmd/terminal
4. write as follows, after each line press enter:
adb shell
su (allow su on your phones display if its the first time you are using adb with su)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
rm /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin
cp /sdcard-ext/wififix/*.bin /system/etc/firmware/wifi/
chmod -R 0755 /system/etc/firmware/wifi (you can use chmod 755 /system/etc/firmware/wifi/*.bin )
reboot
5. let your phone reboot, disconnect usb, unlock phone, enter pin, enable wifi and its working.
Feel free to comment in the thread and help eachother with problems and ideas

Contribute, collaborate, conquer!! Outstanding.
It just seems strange that the OS wouldn't let you choose your country, like most routers already do... or is that taboo? Is wifi on Android mobile/cellular dependent? If so... what think tank came up with that...? How does Windows (desktop) handle this? It's not like laptops don't go on airplanes and visit other countries!!! BTW I can't believe I had to specify 'desktop'... I was thinking/worried ... "What if someone thinks I mean Windows (phone)." Seriously... who has a Windows phone? Let me re-phase... Who would be reading this specific thread and have a windows phone?

The fix for that is to switch the numbers and -R, chmod expects to the the numbers first.
Code:
chmod 0755 -R /system/etc/firmware/wifi
Guys, before applying this method to my Bell Atrix (using it in Qatar, WiFi not working), I need to know:
1) Given it's a Bell Atrix, is there anything different I need to do?
2) Which root method should I use?
3) Did Bell's update fix this? Will this conflict with Bell's update? I'm planning to update my software once I get WiFi working.
Thanks
Can I apply this fix AFTER deodexing?
NOT WORKING for me either.
Rooted using Gladroot.
Non-deodexed Bell Atrix.
Followed all instructions.
Hi all -
I wrote a script and created a CWM update-flashable to perform a one-line install of the CM7 GPS Fix, documented here by jwleonhart. There were some complaints about jwleonhart's install instructions; it's a bit cumbersome and not trouble-free, especially for noobs. Please read the original thread for detailed instructions on what my script does; the script exactly does jwleonhart's instructions.
NOTE: EVERY VERSION OF THIS FIX MAKES SUBTLE BUT IMPORTANT CHANGES THAT MAY IMPROVE OR DEPRESS YOUR GPS FUNCTIONALITY. UNTIL A TRUE GPS DRIVER DROPS FOR THE VIBRANT (which at this point seems very unlikely) ALL WE CAN DO IS HACK AND TWEAK. NEWER VERSIONS MAY WORK BETTER OR WORSE THAN OLDER ONES! PLEASE POST WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE USING THE VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE FIX, AND PLEASE BE CONSTRUCTIVE/HELPFUL WITH YOUR FINDINGS!
There are three separate ways to install: CWM, CWM with no gpsd, and via shell script.
CWM Installation
The easiest way to install the GPSFix files is to download and flash Vibrant_CM7_GPSFix_V1.4-CWM-signed.zip. All files will be copied over and read/execute permissions will be properly set.
NOTE: Flashable does NOT contain AngryGPS. There are some people who have better results without it, so I'll let you install that one on your own. You can find the APK at jwleonhart's CM7 Install Guide.
OPTIONAL: There's a no-gpsd version of the CWM flashable as well - if you want to use the gpsd from your current nightly, or mix and match. The GPS driver might get better in time, and who knows if down the line the gpsd bundled with the latest nightly is better than this one, pulled from Trigger Redux#13 (CM7 Nightly#54).
Script Installation
The script is available for users who want to customize their own GPS fix. It requires an extra reboot (since you can't just run the script after installing a new nightly), but you can easily add/remove files to the script to suit your own needs. Personally, I use the script to test new versions before they go into the CWM flashable.
Attached is the zip file with all the files and the shell script you need. Just extract the folder to your SD card; then in a terminal (ADB or terminal emulator with root), run these commands:
Code:
su # if you're not already dropped into superuser status
cd /sdcard/GPSFix
bash GPSFix.sh
It will automatically copy all the files (gpsd, secgps.conf, gps.conf, 90getgps_lto) to the right places, then set permissions those files, then reboot. AngryGPSmod.apk is in there but is not installed; I suggest try the GPS fix without AngryGPS first, then install it after if you don't get good results.
Script Contents
For those interested, here's the contents of the script..
Code:
#!/system/xbin/bash
FIXFILES="/system/etc/gps.conf
/etc/init.d/90getgps_lto
/system/vendor/bin/gpsd"
REMOVEONLY="/data/gps/lto.dat

--Isaac Newton
Changelog:
Code:
V1.5.1
-- renamed init-script to overwrite CM7's implementation of V3 of this fix
-- now offering "newgpsd" variant - contains gpsd from latest CM7 nightly
-- standard zip: faster locks, but more prone to randomly quitting working
-- newgpsd variant: slower locks, but more resilient GPS indicator [color="red"] still needs testing[/color]
V1.5
-- cleaned up script
-- now keeping LTO data named lto2.dat (used to rename to lto.dat)
-- lowering threshold for lto2 refresh to 3 days
V1.4 (all variants)
-- replaced lto.dat with lto2.dat - preliminary testing indicates survival after reboot and better TTFF
-- now using us.pool.ntp.org for the time server - if you're not in the US, please adjust your gps.conf accordingly
-- gps.conf tweaks - trading accuracy for TTFF for now..
V1.3.1 (all variants)
--set permissions on downloaded lto.dat to 755 (was 644) - i couldn't get
any birds in view before, now i can lock. give this a try if 1.3 doesn't work.
V1.3 (all variants)
--removed agpsd
--added 90getgps_lto - will fetch latest long term orbit data on boot
--hopefully these changes help get REPEAT locks faster - please let us know!
V1.2CWM-nogpsd
--same as V1.2CWM, but with no gpsd. This way you can use gpsd from
the latest CM7 nightlies, or whatever nightly gpsd worked best for you.
I will start collecting gpsd files and posting them for your convenience soon!
V1.2CWM
--created CWM flashable for your convenience! performs the EXACT SAME
as the script, so if you've already run V1.2, no need to flash V1.2CWM.
But, it could be useful if you tend to flash nightlies all the time.
V1.2
--changed all file permissions to 0755 - not sure how reading .conf files
worked if there wasn't any read permission. gets me a faster lock after
applying the script.
V1.1
--fixed typo - "chmod shell" should have been "chgrp"
--removed \t, \n - was not being interpreted by shell correctly
V1
--initial release
If I helped you with your CM7 experience, please hit the Thanks Button
im about to try this
Dear all -
Script was updated to V1.2. I noticed that no read permissions were set to the .conf files; my thinking is there's no way Android could read those config files without read permissions, so they weren't even doing anything.
That said, the latest script now gives permission 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to all files. After running the script now, I get a lock after first reboot in about 25 seconds.
You can download V1.2 and start from scratch, or just copy/paste the latest script contents into your GPSFix.sh. Or, run the following commands at a terminal (ADB or terminal emulator with root):
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 0755 /data/gps/secgps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/etc/gps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/bin/agpsd
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
Also, I noticed 31 downloads (and there were 20-some in the original post) but only a total of 3 Thanks.. I'm kind of addicted to the Thanks button and don't ask for donations otherwise, please push it if I help make a better CM7 experience for you
do they work with MIUI ?

Should work with any CM7-based ROM; I hope someone else can confirm, though; I only run vanilla CM7 and occasionally Trigger Redux.
Any chance to make it CWM-based ?
It'd be so much nicer to drop the zip into a SD root and just run it after every nighty installation.

I don't know how to make an update.zip, but perhaps this will be a good time to learn! I'm way better at shell scripting which is why I went this route. I'll see what I can do, hopefully I can have a CWM flashable soon.. if anyone else can help me I would much appreciate it.
That said, note that you can still open an adb shell in recovery mode, so you could run the script after you flash the nightly. I haven't tried that, but I will soon.

Lol yea but I guarantee you that if you didn't add it more than 20 people would ask
It turns out making an update.zip isn't so hard after all testing it now, if it works out I'll upload to OP. I'll keep the original scripts and stuff for posterity's sake.
Great efforts, wow
This is just great piece of development, a sure and simple cure for the GPS and the CM 7+ roms.
Now that you have created this script, one so simple, there will be leages of Vibrant Users who will be able to take advantage of your generousity and put this puppy to work.
Kudos and once again, great work.... W.0.W.
I can confirm, with the AngryGPS I was able to lock in with fast lock in up to Accuracy of 20 feet, picked up 8 of the 12 satellites in view.
Thank you very, very much....
Dear all -
V1.2CWM released! As requested, a CWM flashable zip has been created. It does literally the exact same thing as V1.2 (copies over the GPS files to the right locations, sets 0755 permissions on all files). You don't need to flash if you've already installed V1.2, but I would keep the zip on hand for when you decide to flash a new nightly.
As always, the Thanks button lets me know I'm loved
I plan on starting a gpsd database, seems that while all gpsd's are created equal, some are more equal than others so you can mix and match the gpsd from a previous nightly, rather than referring to the supermassive black hole that is the official CM7 Nightly thread.
And finally, I must point out that I did NOT create these fixes. All the credit and praise belongs to jwleonhart and roffee. I just packaged up their work into an easy-to-install package, those guys did the real work! Please find their threads in the Credits section of my OP and hit the Thanks button!
My phone refuses to download these. Annoying.

I already did the astro thing.
Turned it on and off several times.
And I used chrome to phone to send the link, with the same result.
I swtiched over to Opera, and that eventually agreed to download it.
OP updated. I now offer a no-gpsd version of the CWM flashable, in case you want to keep your gpsd or mix and match with other nightlys. I'll put up a link to a Dropbox to store GPS drivers from every nightly.
Ironically, the fix used to work for me 100% of the time, but not anymore. I'm going to start experimenting with new gpsd's from CM7 nightlies; please also let me know of your own results!
EDIT: I wasn't getting locks, or was getting and losing locks with my fix. Tried #72 gpsd and the nogpsd flash.. 0/8 birds after 5 minutes. Reflashed my own fix. TTFF [time to first fix] 17 seconds, 7/10 satellites, 150 ft accuracy. After 1 minute, 20 foot accuracy. Rebooted. 0/10 after 5 minutes.
I wish I understood you, GPS. I wish I understood you.
very nice.. i tried right now..
before this, its takes serveral minutes to get a lock.
after this patch.
first 30 secs, In View 12 satts.
1 min, get in USE 4 satts, 25 meters accuracy.
2 min, get 6 satts, 7 meters accuracy.
Very fast!
Thanks!
Nice!!! It will be much much easier now to get GPS working after nightlies. Awesome!

As always I'm here to insist that data is data, here is a tethering mod for the Tmobile S6.
About:
What this does: It bypasses the provisioning check, switches your apn to ipv4, (required for tethering) and changes your tethering APN to the normal data APN.
What it does not do: It will not hide your browser headers from t-mobile, if they detect that you are using a desktop browser, you will see it deduct from your tethering balance. Use a User Agent Spoofer to work around this.

(The following command only needs to be run if you are on a stock odexed rom.)
Code:
rm -R /system/app/TetheringProvision/arm64
After installation you MUST reboot for the new tethering provision apk to be seen.
Setting proper APN settings, (you will need busybox for this part):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
sed -i 's/pcweb.tmobile/fast.t-mobile/' /system/csc/customer.xml
sed -i 's/ipv6/ipv4/' /system/csc/customer.xml

Sounds like the ipv6 -> ipv4 change on the APNs didn't stick.
Look at your apns, can you see if they are set to ipv4 or ipv6?

This is my first time using dos since the very first time (and only time) I used it about 2 years ago. I did mess up on the command prompt for customer.xml and typed fast instead of fast but I went to the xml and ficed the typo. Is it possible that tmobile needs to be t-mobile? If so, how do I go back and fix that.
Thanks for getting back to me tonight. Tethering is a HUGE priority for me so I appreciate the help.

Then, reset apns and reboot.

Yes, the apn should read fast.t-mobile.com
Attached is my customer.xml for reference.
Alternatively you could try:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
sed -i 's/fast.tmobile/fast.t-mobile/' /system/csc/customer.xml
sed -i 's/fsat.tmobile/fast.t-mobile/' /system/csc/customer.xml
Then, reset apns and reboot.

I'll try it but I think you need to edit the first post? I'll report in a few. Thanks again for working through this.
I'm not familiar with code at all so keep that in mind.

What do your APNs look like?
I added an APN for tethering based on the other thread in QnA so I'm not sure why it isn't showing. I'm tethered now with wifi router whoever. But it's slow so I'm hoping native can be better.

Okay, I think it will, once we get it figured out. Open that apn up, and let's see the settings.
Thanks Fenny. You misspelled TetheringProvision in the chmod instruction line, so you should probably fix that when you get to cleaning up the thread.

Everything seems to be good to go. I think I confused myself trying to work through this is the middle of the night
Thanks for this. Do we still use the T-Mobile hotspot app? And my wifi calling seems to be broken after this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
