Re: [BUILD] **Complete Froyo Bundle!!** FRX04 - "Stable"

arrrghhh, I noticed there was a new rootfs released on 02/24/11; the changelog is as follows:

Quote:

Decouple libs from rootfs, use versions provided in /system.

Is this update very important? Seems like the change was to get rid of redundant libs in rootfs. Thanks.

It doesn't like the data connection from the airave at all. I will try to disable the dsata and see if I can get it to reeboot to wm by itself. That may help to pin point this issue.

Hey fish, I've been trying to swap out the dialer without luck. I was trying to replace the Phone.apk and Contacts.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk in the system.ext2 but they seem to be dependent on other files in the system.ext2.

I tried replacing them with the Cyanogen dialer *.apks ([MOD] Contacts.apk & Phone.apk w/ 315x315 callerID ( Eclair 2.1, Froyo AOSP, CM )) but no luck either. I thought it would work since that link mentioned that the packages are compatible with Froyo 2.2.1 AOSP, on which FRX04 is based. It's probably not working because the apks are cross-compiled for another processor different than the one on our TP2.

Oh well, I'll stop for now until I get some time to work more on it.

I appreciate the attempt, but don't kill yourself!!

I'm not sure if there is a way to force roaming. Have you tried without your airave? A lot of people have reported issues using the airave - IIRC, the issue was with data only, voice was fine. So perhaps try disabling data when you're around the airave?

I have an airave which is voice/text only and I have an airvana which is voice/text/data, although I had nothing but problems with the airvana so I D/C'd that and went back to the airave without data, so... I'm not sure if that's the issue or not, although it very well may be just causing mass confusion with the radio, since it's not connecting to a cell tower and uses distant locations for weather, etc (always gives a location nowhere near my house, I live in CT but always shows NY or NJ on weather when I'm in range of the airave).

When getting weather via The airave data connection it uses info from the ip server that its hooked up to. Mine gives weather location as nyc but I'm 50miles away in long island when I have the phone set to "use my location". When I go outside out of airave range it gives me my actual reports based on my real location via local cell tower.

Exactly. Are you using an airave which is just voice/text or the airvana which includes data too?

Airaves do voice, text and 1x data.

Yea, that's exactly what it's for. Libs for Gingerbread are now in /system, so no need to have them in the rootfs.

Not mine, I confirmed that with Sprint, the older Airaves only did voice and text no data, or at least that's what I've been told multiple times. The newer ones, Airvana's, do 1x data, but the older versions don't (Again, this is what was explained to me years ago when I got my original one that I'm using now. I have no data in my basement at all but can use voice and get texts like crazy.

I didnt know that the earlier ones didnt do data. I got mine in 2008 (2nd generation)but because of hardware limitations it was only 1x data. The new Airvana devices now support 6 users (up from 3), EVDO, 3G and it even has a VOIP port for future expansion.

I don't remember when I got my original one, but it's different than the current ones with EVDO, etc. I was always told there was no data on the original ones and since I had such horrible service in my house with or without it, I assumed it was true, but don't take my word for it. I'd thinking of hooking up the latest one I've got sitting around but the wife complained about it dropping calls on her when it was connected so i went back to the older one. Either way it's off for the weekend to test this theory, or at least until these people revolt.
