I thought someone replaced the APK and it worked - I swear I tried this, and no effect. It's been a while since I looked at it tho.

Can you post or do you have a link to an APK that I can try? I've been unable to find one by searching.

I'll dig for it later. Last I saw there was one posted on XDA. Otherwise you'll just have to yank the one from FRX.

I pulled /system/apps/NetworkLocation.apk from FRX07.1 and installed in GBX0B. Resulted in broken system, endless bots-drawing-XDANDROID animation screen. Waiting on appropriate netloc APK.

Try with a new data.img. (Just rename so you can easily revert) If that doesn't work, it could be because everything is signed...

Started with fresh files from GBX0B bundle. Replaced system.ext2/apps/NetworkLocation.apk with that from FRX07.1 bundle. Booted HaRET & again got stuck in endless bots-drawing-XDANDROID. I gave it adequate time to finish 1st boot, and device kept 'bumping', which is not typical for 1st boot.

Do we need to find a netloc APK that's specific to GB or is the signing even more restrictive?

By the way, I foolishly neglected to make a backup before installing the FRX07.1 NetworkLocation.apk. I tried replacing the system.ext2 file with the bundled version, but that didn't stop the endless boot loop. Is my only option to start over now?

Did you delete your data.img after replacing the system.ext2 file? Not like you have anything you need to save on your data.img now .

I'll try mucking with this soon. I'm dangerous now, going to try to commit some things.

Oh is that a hint we might see an updated package soon?

lol, no promises as to 'when', but yes. Pretty short list of fixes too, anyone chime in if they think there's something else that's easily fixed that needs to be put into the next build. My list is as follows:

• New firmware for wifi, fixes tethering (among other things?)
• MMS fixes from hyc. Seems we got a few, but not all of them... Sprint-only!
• Camcorder patch from detule. Fixes video recording.
• Of course, netloc if I can figure it out
• Gotta talk to detule, I think there was some work they were doing on the RIL. Not sure where it left off/if they have it resolved. It seems detule at least has a way to mitigate some issues people were experiencing. AFAIK it's a GSM-only fix...

Anything else?

No, I never deleted data.img, I just renamed data.img when I first got the first endless loop, then tried the fresh data.img experiments. So I still have my data.img from just after the FRX07.1 netloc APK install. Anything I can change in the data.img file system to undo the FRX07.1 netloc APK install?
