[ROM] 28/Mar: Fr2 MCR EXT4 Test ROM

This topic has been superceded by the MoDaCo Custom ROM topic - please continue discussion there.
Thanks!
Could a mod close this topic?

Thanks! i'll give it a try tommorow or sunday .

Downloading now... will report back!

Updated to latest baseband, and put this zip on internal SD card, but can't seem to mount SD card in CWM it says... what am i doin wrong? :S
Edit:
Error is
E:Can't mount /sdcard

I think you have to put it on the external SD card...

Well, i didn't get any with the phone, and haven't bought any. So don't have any

Like morsha said, you need to have an external sdcard for this operation, it seems
/edit
Flashed new baseband - OK
Flashed ext4 ROM - OK (quite fast), but wifi seems to have some problems... :S
/2nd edit
wifi is working again after ned flash with full wipe... Seems the wifi driver gets corrupted when the filesystem is convertet, but stays intact when system is reinstalled the 2nd time.

Let's try it again
update: yep it works with wifi now! thanks for the tip.

Basically, to get wifi working again, you do this:
Flash rom, boot phone, reboot into recovery, flash rom again, then boot phone again. And poof, your wifi should work like a charm again. ^-^

a big thank you Paul for your great work

Nice speed improvements, thank you. Don't forget to update your baseband first to avoid the WiFi errors!

Weird enough my tapatalk app can't find it's license with this one. Tried both new install and upgrade. No biggie but maybe good to know.

Is it possible to get a mirror? I got problems downloading from that site to my phone.
Or anyone else who can share another download location? Thanks

I've just realised the cause of the flashing error - i'm doing the EXT4 conversion too early in the process, i'll move it to AFTER the system write in the next release.
For now, flash, reboot, run recovery and flash again.
Apologies!

[SOLUTION] WIFI is not working...

... after ROM or KERNEL change.
There can be 3 ways:
1. phone reboots after you turn wifi on
2. there is "error" message after you turn it on
3. everything looks fine, it just not see and router
Ad.1 (very rare): this rom/kernel combination is useless - it will NOT work.
Ad.2 (sometimes): this rom/kernel combination is broken: you can try replace wifi modules from another (working) rom. Sometimes there is difference in build.prop :
wifi.interface=wlan0
wifi.interface=tiwlan0
You may need to edit that after you change drivers.
Ad.3 (most common): drivers works, but old config is not compatible. You need delete file
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
and reboot phone.
Use Ghost Commander, Root Explorer or any file manager that can delete files from system partitions.
I hope it helps, because I see that question in forum manymanymany times.

what drivers are you saving? /system/etc/wifi?
the 3 pieces?
hmm, now that you mentioned it, how to fix wifi on the latest cm-nighlty for x8?

What's your problem with wifi in cm-nightly?

i dont know the proper way or combination to make the wifi work rom&kernel.
can you suggest? got reboots.

Now I am using latest nightly with nAa-06 kernel and before I have used FXP_030 kernel posted by Blagus. With both kernels wifi works for me.

Nightly CM kernel is broken, it is automated build.
Use last FXP030, FXP028 or CM71.

Xperia X8 Kernel Tweaks for Wifi Use

Hello my xperia X8 had a problem with its wifi in custom roms.
Basically it had this problem many times in the stock rom too but it could be fixed by factory reset and Sony Companion.
Anyway am currently using Ginger DX and i cant use the wifi.
I tried tweaking the modules and things but nothing .
I need an app or a way prefferably without custom kernel (because i fried my phone ones with this) to be able to use the freaking wifi
if the custom kernel is the only was so be it.
The error that i get is this when i open the wifi and got to its settings it turns on and off forever and somethimes i get the error that the wifi settings is not responding.
Thank you
If you need any info please feel free to ask.

LOL...Omg..sorry for not being clear enough..paste them in system/lib/modules and give them permissions like the way i posted in screenshot using root explorer...or you can open the .zip file of your Rom paste the libs in the modules folder and flash it again...either way hope it works~!

Thank you i did it and now waiting for it to reboot

Well it improved a bit now when i turn my wifi on it says error below the wifi next to the square

Please help i need wifi and i know that my hardware is fine now

you need wifi? reflash kernel, full wipe, and reinstall the rom, do not apply tweaks which you do not have a knowledge to apply because it can lead to malfunctions

[FIX][i9300][26/10/2013]Camera stopped working, error on Samsung based ROMs

I want to offer you a little fix for those of you who actually experience this problem. On some Samsung based ROMs, some people complain about not working cameras, no matter how often they tried to install a ROM after several wipes. This error may occur in case your camera uses a different firmware.
Most people however won´t experience this error.
I´ve created a little Fix which is actually very easy to apply as a flashable zip. It was intended to be used with my Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM, it may also work with every other Samsung based ROM
Here is the link: Camera Fix for Samsung based ROMs
Simply install this file through your custom recovery
Just in case this patch should not work for everyone, leave me a comment and I´ll see what I can do :angel:

What does it do?
Sent from my CM10.3 Galaxy S3.

This fix includes one missing binary which some specific cameras require in order to be able to be used.
If you don´t have any trouble starting the camera app, using the camera, you don´t need to flash this zip Even if everything works fine and you do install this fix, it wouldn´t harm your system

just flashed it, doesn`t work for me unfortunately. :crying: :crying: :crying:
i have this problem you told of since a very long time and i really can't get rid of it. makes me fckn sick. i could cry on and on.
what else is possible to do? every litte hint is very much appreciated.

There are more binaries available, the one I included is a more common one. Samsung uses 2 different cameras ( Sony or Samsung ).
Does your camera work 100% with a Stock ROM ? If so, have a closer look in /data/cfw and show me what you find inside ( eg. SlimISP_xx.bin ).
Flash a Stock Firmware, make sure to copy the file and add it here as a zip file. By installing custom ROMs, your cfw folder will be empty most the time if these files are not added by the ROM itself.

hi guys,
thx a lot for your words. here is what i've done:
i just flashed a stock rom and the camera works. then i installed cf root and root explorer but /data/cfw is an empty folder. so i can`t copy anything here.
with the custom rom and the cam not working i had a file like SlimlSp00.bin (or something similar) in this particular folder but not now.
what to do now or did i misunderstand something?

Just out of curiosity, did you try to remove this file ? Maybe your camera tries to load this binary though it´s not suitable for your model. You can try to create a different folder and first copy the found bin ( just to have a spare copy ), remove SlimlSpxxx out of your data/cfw folder.
Wipe your Dalvik Cache and restart the ROM

this idea didn't come up of course
but i just tested it. i already had my custom rom backup restored. i moved the SlimlSP_BH.bin to my ext sd, so that /data/cfw was empty, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and it doesn't worked. second try i wiped cache and dalvik and it also doesn`t work.

If your camera doesn´t work with this binary, you may need another one..and there are lots of them to try but you have to chose one which is suitable for a Sony or a Samsung camera Well, there is a easier way out if you try to upgrade your camera firmware.
Before we proceed, I need some details first, which type of camera you have in order to pick up a suitable binary.
1) Dial *#34971539#
2) pick up this option: "Phone/Cam FW Check"
3) Show me what you see
4) Chose this option: "Phone/Cam FW Write"
A short explanation :
GDxxx = Sony
ZFxxx = Samsung

alright, i for sure will give you every information you need.
under "phone/cam fw ver check" i see
rear camera
cam fw ver: GDF
phone fw ver: GDFI02
front camera
cam&phone fw ver: S5K6A3
"Phone/Cam FW Write" isn't available in that form. options with "write" are only "phone to cam fw write (rear)" (but this is greyed out so i can't touch it) and "fw write count".

hi gorgtech, are you still here?

I´m still here but I´m not quite sure how to help you out. There is another way to enforce an upgrade of your Firmware but I´m not sure if this would work out for everyone.
I´ll see what I can do later and prepare a zip file for you

Well it works perfectly for me, but @Moster2 says the md5 checksum is identical to the files already in place, but it works. I'm both happy but mildly confused! If you get the issue it's obviously with trying! You only need to flash the rom to remove it, so it's of no concern to try

Well done. Works perfectly.
I tried just about everything I could find regarding fixing the camera in my S3, including manually replacing the Camera2.apk and this is the first fix I tried that actually works. Thanks for putting the time and effort in to solve this annoying problem.

Sims stuck on 2G
For some reasons I can't enable 3G, I've entered my APN manually and edited the imei values to match the old ones, still stuck on 2G.
There used to be an option in the stock rom to choose which SIM gets the 3G and which sticks with 2G, didn't find it here.
Also I can't set the screen brightness to auto, is this happening with everyone or just me?

In our phones 3G(and lower) works only in first slot for sim card. Second slot uses only 2G(and lower).
In first slot set your sim card, that you need for 3G, and then write APN.
Same to do with your second slot and second sim card. Done.
Auto brightness doesn't work. I don't know why... I never used it, sorry...

Wifi hotspot?
Hello, thank you for your reply, but I'm yet to be able to enable 3G (2G works fine tho), and I've noticed that I can't enable the Wifi hotspot, as soon as the slider is enabled, it goes back off (pretty much like the 3G thing).
So I'm guessing there is something wrong with my setup? I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 but I don't see how it allows things to work and others not to, can it be the reason? And would flashing it again make it work (with the Gapps you provided, I'm having google store issues).
Thanks in advance.

Hello. This gapps from thread:[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][SM-G360H] CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime , there i have ported ROM. I don't like gapps and don't use it.
3G(in first slot) works perfectly for me, why you have issues?.. It's strange...
You can to use TWRP 3.0.2-0 from this thread, but i don't think that it will solve problem...

Backing up and trying again
I'm thankful for all of your hard work, I am backing up and will flash again (cm_11 and gapps) and will see what happens.
I'm interested if other roms for Samsung Core prime would work for this phone, since you ported the 4.4.4, can the 5.1.1 and / or other versions be ported here as well? I'd like to have the latest update possible for this phone.

Hello and thank you!
For 5.1.1 we haven't kernel... When i have ported ROM, also ported boot.img, replaced split_img(zImage, dtb, etc) and have changed some thing in ramdisk. This phone still haven't update to 5.0, that we will can to use boot.img for porting... So, we can't to port any ROM higher 4.4.4
All this is very sad...
Also,it's very important, need to have bigger knowledge and experience, than i have

If this does not work, extract the zip file and replace in the lib folder all libcamera..... .so files with your stock files. This is a zip file for fixing Ril, Camera, Bluetooth ...
In the hw folder, libcamera.sc8830.so and libcamera2.sc8830.so files already is modified .
