[ROM-FIX] CM 6.xx, Ruby 1.1.1 and Shadowrom Radio and Wifi - Drops and Reboots Fix

Latest Cyanogenmod nightly number 97 (10/3/2010) has the new ril baked in. No need to use this patch if you are running it or a newer one.
Back Story
Long story short, the Chinese group Miui mananged to get / build (not really sure) a new Radio Interface Layer for our HTC devices... I pulled this file out of the Nexus one build that they released and it works perfectly. Link to the Nexus1 version
Over in the Nexus one forum a few people have questioned where this Chinese group got some of the files they're using, as they're really bleeding edge (at least thats what they say in the N1 forum). This newer / different RIL file seems to fix the issues we're facing with random phantom reboots while wifi is on. Also included in this is the issue where the signal bars show an "x" for a second or two after connecting to a wifi hotspot. Also fixed are issues where the radio signal drops before / after receiving a call that plagues AOSP builds (ruby and CM for sure).
Cyanogenmod 6.xx
This works on the 6.xx versions as well as the Nightlies.
NOTICE: As of Oct 2nd this has been "committed" so I assume the nightly that comes out this evening will have the fix built in. Check it out
Latest nightly number 97 has the new ril baked in. No need to use this patch.
Ruby 1.1.1
This works for Ruby. If you are wanting the BT Media Streaming audio fix as well, please see this thread. They are two separate installs.
Shadowrom
It has been confirmed that this also works for Shadowrom.
Bugs
I honestly don't know of any yet... but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Only a handful of us have been testing this thing out on the inc so far. Figured more people might want to check it out.
Credit
I take no credit for the fix. The Miui group built/got it(not sure which), I simply happened to be playing around with some files and noticed the side effects. Thanks again to Jermaine for letting me know more about the rom (and the fact that they weren't plagued by our reboot issues) in the first place so I could start digging...
Of course thanks go out to the entire ruby and cyanogenmod teams, without them we wouldn't have these fun roms. Lastly, IncredibleDoes for doing the Inc port of miui that opened our eyes to it.
Installation
- Download the file and place it on your SD card.
- Load up Rom Manager and hit "Install rom from SD card," select the file.
- I'd probably make a nandroid backup if you haven't recently just in case... no wipe has been needed.
Disclaimer
If this messes up your phone, not my fault Was tested by about 30 people so far, and no issues that we've seen. Please make a nandoid backup just in case.
THIS IS FOR AOSP roms listed above ONLY. Please do NOT install it on any sense based roms.

Isn't this just cosmetic? Or because the phone is switching from 3G to 1x? I've never dropped a call while toggling WiFi on...

Not that I can tell... so far the mere fact that the wifi isn't causing reboots anymore is the main reason I'm putting this out there...
anything else is just gravy.

Fixing the WiFi reboots would be great. Though, strangely, I'm at 110 hours uptime with the WiFi on... I guess it'll take a while to verify this fix works.

sounds good. in all reality the one person who can really verify is koush... sending him the idea as well...
(wish I could make it 110 hours! hah... at my office i'm lucky if I get more than 3 hours) so today will be a major test of it. so far so good.

I'll guinea pig my phone for a few days if it means getting CM running w/o locks or reboots.

I'll try out the ruby one!

I'd be more than happy to help test either CM or Ruby (Ruby preferred). Just PM me the info!

Installed the fix on Ruby 1.1.1. Running stock Ruby Kernal (This kernal has been the best overall performance Kernal for me on Ruby). Will report back results

I've installed the file you sent me... and holy crap. It seems to work. Really hope this does it or at least puts koush in the right direction.

I am very interested to see the results on the stock one... I forget, does the stock kernel have working wifi tether?
I am packing up a BT-Fix for Ruby right now but will keep it separate, to not complicate things.

You and me both man... if most testers go a good 24 hours with no wifi caused reboots / drops etc, maybe he'll look at it...
Keep us informed of the progress! thanks for testing.

Just in case you are curious.. I'm running koush test 2 kernel. No setcpu installed.

I have had good luck with wifi teather on the stock kernal...didn't work on any of the king kernals.

I really dont believe its the wifi. Its when the 3g turns on or off when the issues happen, which is when you leave or enter a wifi area. I turned 3g off and didnt use it for 2 days with wifi on the whole time with no reboots. I've have the lockup with just 3g on as others have noted. Also I believe that the lockups and the reboots are a separate issue. I have yet to see where any dev said it was the wifi directly, and with the known issues of 3g+froyo it points to 3g not wifi.
So, if you turn wifi off and are in a good 3g area then you will unlikely lose 3g much if at all, but if you have signal issues then the reboots still exist.
If we are going to find out what the problem is we need to setup test groups.
1 - no wifi, no 3g
2 - no wifi, 3g on
3 - wifi on, no 3g
4 - wifi on, 3g on
Make sure everyone is using the same rom/radio.

That's a possibility, but I think I'm in a good 3G area, and the majority of my movements are in a pretty small geographic area. I'll get reboots when my phone is just sitting on a table or in my pocket though in an area w/ strong signal.
Make sure everyone is using the same rom/radio.

I think what we'd really need is for the testers to check all 4 combinations. There's too much geographic variance to have a bunch of different people testing these combinations unless some lived very close to each other.

State of CM9 alphas

For CM7 we had a thread with all the known major issues (and solutions) for the most recent roms.
CM7 now is almost perfect and pretty complete. CM9 is still in alpha though and (obviously) seems to have a lot of issues.
Can someone who flashes nightlies / kangs please give a short overview what doesn't work or what does cause problems? Also stability and power issues would be interesting.
Of course there are still problems with video hardware acceleration but what about other areas which are GPU relevant like browser, games or any app that isn't just a list really? What about the sound drivers, do they work in general? does listening to music while using other apps work that also output sound (for example music + navigation or podcast + navigation)?
I think this would be very helpful to a lot of people (me included of course )

Why didnt i think of that?
Silly me that reads this tiny thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347118

I didn't find anything useful via search which I didn't know from blogs / g+; as I didn't want to read up on as of now 1256 posts in that thread I had hoped someone could take 1 minute of his time and give a quick run-down.
I was hoping for a serious answer or a sarcastic one which took at least as long to write but would be really douchy. You just linked the thread so I'm not sure what to think lol

i use cm9 daily and i have not seen much problems. its smoother than any other rom i used, the battery holds much longer. whe listening to live streams it would not last longer than 6.5hours, yet on cm9 it holds for 9.5, i also dont need to charge every night or have the battery drained in the morning which was the worst thing and happend for me on all the other roms.
what does not work... let me see, the latest version of opera doesnt work. sometimes it takes a long time to get a data connection, but i think that is because my wifi switches on and off a lot. other than that i dont have any problem and i definitely wont go back to any gb rom.

Thanks a bunch dude! The improvement on the battery from stock to cm7 was awesome already, getting even more out of it would be great. I assume you are listening via 3g right? getting more than 6 hours is quite an achievement there.
I switch a lot back and forth between wlan / 3g though so I guess I have to wait a bit for that to be sorted out.

no im listening over wifi, but the battery usage reflects all over for me, usually i had to worry about my battery even on 2g, now i dont have any worrys, even on 3g it lasts longer than on 2g before.i guess its because it basicly uses 0 battery while not using it while on other roms it constantly drained as if i was using the device.

I've been using Nova HD for a week now and even though I was sceptical at the beginning, I'm really happy with it. It's fast, no random reboots yet, no force closes. The battery is not super, but is is ok: I think I can use it for a day with normal use. I'm not going back to CM7

[Q] phone getting hot ?

Everytime i placed my hand on the back cover, it felt really hot. Is this normal ?
I'm currently running HoliRaidier 1.75 rom.

The phone does tend to heat up quite a bit, especially when running CPU intensive tasks.
You should use a task manager to monitor what apps are running, and terminate anything unnecessary.

Thanks - I'll try to do that.

I haven't had this problem with the last 3 roms from WildChild... including today's release from him. *shrug*

Never had this problem. Check to see if you have an app that's running rogue or something.

Did you check to be sure the kernel you're using matches your ROM?
When you say 'data connection,' I'm guessing you mean mobile data connection and not wi-fi. If it is wi-fi with the problem, try re-copying the wi-fi module for your kernel over to /system/lib/modules

Yes - I do meant the 'mobile data'. When I used a custom rom, then I got the data just fine. However when I used the ATT based rom - It doesn't appear to get any connection. I don't know why, and if I would know how to set or change the custom APN would be helpful.

Edit: Yes I always flash the kernel before install new ROM from the same dev.

I have also realized that it does get hot, and with the new holliraider 1.7 i realized that the battery dies faster.

I've had my Vivid for about three weeks now, and it runs ice cold. It's stock, with the addition of about twelve new apps, that's it.

[Q] Working wifi solution ?

Hello everyone. im really frustrated with Xperia SP wifi. anyone have any working wifi solution which really works ? Don't why SP's wifi is so horrible even my N900 is much better than it.
edit: My phone's wifi is working now as usual. Previously it was not receiving any data nor sending until i gave my router a reboot. but other devices connected to same router were working fine. don't know what was the cause of it. but wifi single issue is still bugging me.

i also had this probs.. but the good things is it only software related not hardware... (trust me on this)
i found out those dbm connectivity hack (change it from -87 to -100) work well but its not good enough
the only permanent solution is to flash to custom ROM (maybe sony have wifi kernel prob)
now using dirty unicorn.. i have more range (+1 more bar) and lesser connection loss

workaround prob cn be solve by system/usr/idc/ open clearpad.idc
change this value
touch screen scale 1.0 [instead of 0.0074]
touch.size.scale= 20.00 [ instead of 16.91]
touch.size.bias= 70.00 [instead of 67.65]
applied to both cm or stock... no more touch probs but while charging, touch respond had this prob

Hi since we have a couple of Lineage roms i personaly prefer the one by xuefer becasue the battery life seems much better for me.I also wanted to see if we can fix the few things that need fixing like ir sensor and some security updates let me know what you think and if you have any fixes for this rom.Who know xuefer may return and suprise us with a update no offence to Ashwin he has done a great job of his rom some will follow this rom and some Ashwins.ANy fans of xuefers please come and help fix the final pieces of the jigsaw and make this rom perfect.

I am completely with u. With IR blaster in xuefer i wouldn't have changed to the Ashwins lineage, which is good too, and he did a respectfull super job, but battery is weaker, drains faster. However, i don't know what safety violation on GPL was meant to be....... In xuefers. Nevertheless i am the only Person with headphone Jack problems in lineage. I would go back to xuefers, if ir-Blaster is fixed.If battery in Ashwins gets better, and no headphone jack probs i would stay with Ashwins,cause of ir-Blaster, which has great function.

Same here if was to go official i woul probly change but not at the moment the batterylife on Xuefers is just insane sleeps like a baby 0 drop over night.Besides Xuefer could decide to come back and then we would have some competition on our hands.

Anyone wish to increase battery life, sure check out root booster by Dominik on playstore. I have seen a huge improvement and I am using extreme mode battery boost. I am currently on lineage is by Ashwin(12/03). Using for last couple of hours.
Avg battery use: 1.9%/ hr
Sot: 3.6 %/ hr
Further I am using Greenify aggressive doze and few kernel tweaks.

judging from the available options its basically a kernel manager with inbuilt greenify. so....kernel adiutor and greenify do exactly the same as far as i can see

once its properly configured, definitely and using greenify/kernel adiutor doesnt hurt, hibernation and kernel tweaks squeeze out a bit more battery life
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (Oxygen) using Tapatalk

other than the battery life, is there any other plus side in switching to xuefer's version?
and what are the other issues in xuefer's rom?
am currently on ashwins. just waiting to have some free time to flash xuefer's rom, out of curiosity.
I'm actually looking for a rom that I will use for long term. I just don't have the time to keep on flashing roms. Will find out that's stable and use it for months

xuefers sleeps like a baby because his ROM uses "these apps" - Brevent.
Brevents is kinda similar thing to Greenify....
I use Greenify on Ashwins 12/03 build and it sleeps like a happy baby!
