Reserved!! Thanks for Doc's work for putting this out quickly
AT&T users should check this out as I *think* this should solve the data connectivity, reception issues. Also this one is slim and fast because this rom is "very vanilla/virgin" compare to current AT&T's leak Froyo.
Spent a few hours putting them together, checking out the extra Bell's apps, testing them... I was amazed how fast this thing runs compare to the i9000 release. 850Mhz is on by defaults and phone calls now do not produce a buzzing noise.

I'm guessing you have good results using this on Fido?
I'm tempted to try this one out.. I'll definitely flash it in a couple of days (after using axura)

I have no data plan (i am using grand-fathered plans), but I am seeing HSDPA and 3G data icons.
I am quite happy with the result so far.

Was so going to flash this. My external speaker just shut off for no reason a few days ago, and I have reflashed to stock JF6 and master cleared and then wiped all manually for good measure, reformatted SDcard . . .
I still might, if the download links ever appear to me. Breath bated.

had to do some serious looking into this one since im using your current i9000 v8 release killer and im kinda stuck. basically id like to know from anyone else is it really feeling that much more snappy/responsive and 2 is the new email client worth anything? im feeling pretty good where im at now but hey if its better i might jump onto this

Since Doc made this so I am just following his lead There is nothing wrong with the i9000 v8. Feel free to stick to it as I will be using this one for a bit, then I will load it to my gf's i9000m and report back to him.

Hello. Do we have the issues with wired headsets? Thank you.

It's not compatible with any of the skins and themes I've tried. They all have odd quirks with button text. Like for example the "Clear" button in the notifications panel. It just has random characters on most themes.
Just little stuff like that. I see lots of little improvements scattered all over the place though. And Media apps like the video player seem to have better CPU focus than on other ROM's. Where other ROM's would stutter with sound or have an occasional stutter in video, this ROM played flawlessly.
I'll let you know if I see anymore.

I think I have a problem with 850 MHZ here. Callers go straight to voicemail. My phone rings once then nothing.

Looks interesting... I'm presently on Docs v8 with Andro Galassia V2 theme, SetiroN1.3.5, JK3 modem with ext4/ext4/ext4/ext2/ext2/ext2/false lagfix and its very stable and very quick. Does anyone know yet if this offers much more?

This was the post I was looking for and hoping it would not be the case. Had the same problem with jk2.

nice! this JK3 modem let me use EDGE when i switch to GSM only. for some reasons, JPM, JPP modem only let me use "G" when i switch to GSM only.

Is jk3 an official release?

no problem here in San francisco/oakland area. i locked to 850mhz 3G, the phone rings fine!

Wired headset will ALWAYS have issues until one of the dev could figure out how to work with the codec.
Most themes out there will not work because I noticed the file size of framework-res.apk is quite a bit different than JP5/JPM/JPO ones. I didn't look into the changes but if you load the themes from other framework, the phone will looks very funny.
My phone works great in Vancouver, can receive calls/texts.
I suppose this build should be 95% similar to Doc's i9000m, just that this one is dedicated for North America phones to resolve modem issues. I would NOT assume this is the final release, but 2.2 for Bell is suppose to be due soon.
DG is making a new ROM based off I9000UGJK3 too, let's see what he is cooking later today.

How is gps with this? Please don't get upset at me for asking...I am just curious how it compares to other roms out there right now.

AGPS Patch Iconia 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SATS

AGPS PATCH
REVIEW THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS.
List of officially supported devices is at the bottom of this post.
Use this if you're having GPS issues (unreliability, no functionality, etc.)
This patch provides a worldwide solution to GPS issue for multiple devices. Using a general ROM without this has resulted in 10+ minutes of GPS delay. Also, GPS lock kept being lost. By using this patch, most people experience a GPS lock within 10 seconds (2 - 20 seconds range can be expected). Typically, a device using this patch will lock onto 7 - 9 satellites. Users have reported up to 11 satellites being locked at once. Without this patch, the average satellite count is 4.
HOWTO INSTALL: (Remember to make a backup. See Notes section for what this patch does.)
Method 1:
1. Download the "ADB Push Installer". This contains all versions for the latest build and old v1.3 versions.
2. Extract the files into a specific folder.
3. Plug your device into the computer and get it ready for adb pushing. Nothing out of the ordinary required.
4. Open the batch file called "ADB Installation Script - RUN THIS" if you use Windows. Otherwise, run the Linux SH script if you use Linux.
5. Select the version you want from the list.
6. Follow the prompts to reboot. You're done.
4. Review the NOTES section.
Method 2:
1. Download the patch
2. Copy all file(s)* into /etc/ of the system (not sd-card) using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, or some other form. You must have SYSTEM set to Mounted and Root enabled. Check your explorer app's SETTINGS to do this.
**Files will be: gps.conf & SUPLROOTCERT -OR- only gps.conf for NO-SSL builds.**
3. Reboot the device
4. Review the NOTES section.
*Files are located in the /system/ folder of the ZIP. Do not copy the other directories or folders.
Method 3 (easiest if you use a compatible version of CWR or CWM)*:
1. Download the patch
2. Boot into CWR (Clockwork Recovery)
3. Mount /system/ partition (on the main menu, select the "Mounts and storage" option, then "mount /system")
4. Flash the patch (on the main menu, select "Install zip from sdcard," then "choose zip from sdcard," and find the zip and select it)
If you receive "(Status 0) Installation aborted" this Method will not work for you. Use one of the other methods.
5. Reboot the device
6. Review the NOTES section.
*This was built for and works on Inspire 4G and DesireHD versions of Clockwork Recovery. The Google CWM Flashable Build has binaries known to work with CWM on the X8. It may work on other devices. Please message me your success if you try and flash with recovery version and phone model as part of the message.

Rules For Posting Questions:
Read the Notes Section first. I will refuse to answer questions that can be answered by some reading. If it is based upon something in the Notes Section, REFER TO THE NOTE when asking.
Answer the following questions: What ROM you are using?, What kernel are you using?, What GPS apps you have installed?, Where is your general location?, Are you using a case?, Has your GPS worked fine before?, Does it work fine with some apps and not others?, What else happened around the time your GPS stopped working? -AND- Have you reviewed the Notes Section?
DO NOT criticize the user of custom third-party NTP pools and xtra.bin data as dangerous. You obviously HAVE NOT read the Notes section OR reviewed the concurrent branch 2.x to discover it offers the standard NTP pool and Qualcomm-based xtra.bin server.
Don't indulge yourself in ignornat posts. Provide information that may be relevant to helping. Simply stating "this stopped working" or "I can't get it to work" helps nothing and only annoys other readers AND those who may be willing to help you just will not do it.
NOTES Section:
This patch will work with virtually all Qualcomm, Android phones and has been reported to work with other chipsets as well. That means hundreds of devices could see a benefit to GPS performance from this patch.
This patch has various objectives to ensure stability and efficacy with GPS. Locally, the patch will replace your /system/etc/gps.conf and your /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have this file. You can compare the difference in what you have to this one to get an idea of all the changes. V3.1, onward, contains section descriptions for variables in use. Most notably, starting with v3.1 the aGPS Patch uses my own central NTP DNS pool and my own central xtra.bin server by default. The xtra.bin does have fallback servers should mine fail. But, that is very, VERY much an unlikely scenario. These two imperatives allow for better stability and speed by providing top-rated NTP servers and prime-routed network access to transmit the xtra.bin to your phone.
I recommend the GOOGLE BUILD of all trunks. However, you can use any build with any phone. You may have good luck with specific builds that do not fit your phone or carrier criteria. If you're curious, test it and see.
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.
Remember, this has to be reflashed when you update or change ROMs.
Short patch history: The 1.x trunk only flashed a modified gps.conf file which relied solely on Qualcomm and NTP.ORG. Starting with 2.x, a gps.conf and a matching SUPLROOTCERT file for SUPL server authentication is included. The 3.x trunk offers the same as v2.x but adds better sourcing for NTP data and for the xtra.bin file; it utilizes my own server to do so.
Why toss out SSL?Whether or not you have a current SUPL certificate is questionable. Some have expired. Some will expire soon. Either way, the servers may provide SSL access without proper certificates depending upon configuration. That aside, I have found that SSL and secure communications over data networks slows the response times. I see no reason to use SSL for location information. If someone has a logger to obtain your location, SSL will not assist in stopping it. The bad app will continue to obtain your information by "stealing" it and you have more problems than a simple SSL-SUPL communications leak.
NO-SSL Builds will not have a SUPLROOTCERT because these builds do not use SSL. The SUPLROOTCERT is a certificate used for authentication of SSL connections. There is no need for this file for the GPS at this point.
IF you have issues with v2.x or v3.x, your ROM might require more variables. Try the old worldwide v1.3 version in this instance.
IF you still are facing issues, it might be that your GPS hardware is very much outdated. Try any "Alternate" build to see if this helps.
CMx ROM users may not experience benefits from this patch. However, we have had good reports from CM users with one negative one. Remember to do all of the steps when flashing and the following notes are important too!
Reports indicate that this patch DOES WORK with the next iteration of Android, Jelly Bean. This patch has worked from Android 2.2 (Froyo) up through Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Therefore, it works with all iterations on the market. I will remove support as soon as it is confirmed to NOT work with a new version of Android.
Reports show that certain ROM's including some CM builds require a modification in the build.prop. You need to change "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 2" or "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 0" to be "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 1" in order for aGPS to properly function. Only do this IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS after attempting the standard patch.
Your phone "learns" about the individual GPS satellites. This is part of the aGPS design. Don't be surprised if the first time you use GPS Status that it takes 20+ seconds to "lock".
I have read a lot that indicates that it is best to let your GPS run using any application for a while to "learn" aGPS information. I let GPS Status run for about 10 minutes (it has an option to disable the screen timeout, which I do) each "first time" to learn. I say each because I test a lot of tweaks and fully reset/delete GPS cached information to start retesting.
Remember, this has to be reflashed when you update or change ROMs. Each ROM will have its own gps.conf, normally not suited to all devices.
I use GPS Status to test my signal strength. It isn't 100% accurate, but it gives a very good sense of how the GPS is performing.
If you're wondering why GPS is slow on certain apps? Or, you show up as on a street when you're 6 meters away from it? Well, those apps process GPS data differently which is out of anyone's control except the app developer. Certain apps will force your location to a street until you pass the app error threshold. Food for thought.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER GPS FIXING APPS with this patch. If you do, and you still have problems, I cannot help you. A number of these Apps will overwrite what my patch does dynamically.
Variables are described starting in v3.0. Open up gps.conf in a text editor to read about what variable sections are for. It isn't in-depth, but should be enough to help you get a general understanding.
Still having weak GPS reception? Take your case off. Cases have been known to affect signal, though some argue against it. Personally, I get 3 more sat's when I remove my case.
There is a reported variable that can cause some GPS units not to work as well as it should with this patch. This is very odd as it's hit-and-miss and only seems to cause problems on less than 10% of handsets. This doesn't mean it screws up anything! It's possibly an older piece of GPS hardware incompatible with this variable. Have no fear, v1.2 will remove this variable for the worldwide version. This issue is more prone to occur in DHD.
Tried taking the battery out for 30 seconds? Some have reported that their phone required the battery to be removed. First, power off the device. Second, remove the battery for 30 seconds. Third, put it back in and give it a try. I cannot explain this except for possible cache clearing.
Some Inspire 4G and DHD devices have hardware problems. There is a known problem that the spring connectors to the GPS antenna sometimes are out of place or quit touching. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101066 provides a video on self-repair.
An error in flashing this patch means that this method will not work for you. Use one of the other methods for flashing this patch. Don't ask why or for a fix. There are hundreds of variations of recovery systems and update binaries. I do not have the time or desire to support them all. This is why I describe other install methods. Reference error: E:Error in /sdcard/android apps/agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip (Status 0) Installation aborted.
Location is way off? Like, not near you at all? This means your GPS is not actually being used. Try the following to resolve it: Goto Settings -> Locations and disable ALL options. Reboot into recovery. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. Reboot normally. Go back to Settings -> Locations and only enable GPS. Reboot once more and try your GPS again. If this didn't work, did you read all of the Notes such as the one about the battery or RIL?
Donations: If you wonder why I asked for donations, it's simple. Users of v3.x are gaining extra, noticeable benefit over v2.x. This comes at a cost to someone. I pay the bills to provide a reliable data setup to transmit the xtra.bin data file and to provide the top NTP SERVERS in one DNS pool. To help keep this going, I just ask for the user to consider a donation. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks Section
While this has gone a long distance since its inception, I want to still send thanks to Angeldeath for permitting me to take his early work and start tweaking it for HTC Inspire 4G users. This inevitably led to what we have here today.

You will need root. It requires being able to read/write to the system's /etc/.

I started using this on my sensation and worked wonders. Orginally tried on Taboonay and didn't help at all. But since the new roms that are based on current OTA, I have applied this to "My Rom" and I am now able to get a gps lock by 5 sats in my room(wife dosen't really appreciate me messing with the tab while she is trying to sleep but I got myself an android sickness, no know cure yet.) But I am doing further testing at different locations but so far am getting much faster lock and more sats.

Thanks for the help guys. I went and moved the original file without even looking to see what the permissions were. It did seem to help but the clouds are really thick here tonight.

No worries. Give it a good test over the next day or so, and report back. If anyone wants to type up installation instructions, I'd like to put something in the instruction block above. Send me a private message with them.

This works perfectly!! The only thing I found is that the scripts kept on giving me abort errors in recovery and once I pushed the file manually using RootExplorer, I had to download GPS status toolbox from the market to get a fix but it was quick...something like 6 seconds!! Using this fix and just opening up Google Maps won't give you a lock at first so I think you have to download GPS status.....anyone else do it this way or just me??

No such problems for me.locked in under 10 seconds in the first try. I used the following method.
Es file explorer from market.
Settings>check root permissions>check mount system.
Copy the original GPS.conf to some safe location. After that delete GPS.conf file from etc folder.
Unzip worldwide 1.3. Zip and copy GPS.conf from system folder and paste the same in the etc folder.
Done.
Ya recovery option doesn't work for me too.I am using thor recovery 1.42.

The CWR flash zip isn't designed for other recovery systems. But, I've heard it works on others. Either way, the gps.conf is all that matters at this point. So as long as you get it copied, you're golden.
Let me know performance results!
Edit: Why would someone rate this thread so poorly? I don't see any reason to do that unless I've entirely offered no help whatsoever. Sad. And people wonder why a lot of dev's had decided to quit...

recvery method doesn't work, but extracting the gps.conf from the ZIP file and copying it to /etc/ seems fine, will see how good it is.
Thanks!

Also,
In preparing for the next iteration of the GPS patch, I'm trying to get a better grasp of the suplrootcert's on various devices. So far I have Verisign and TMobile. If anyone would be willing to check their phone and let me know if they have a different one (via private message here on xda)that would be great!
You can find "suplrootcert" as a file in /etc/ just like where the gps.conf is located.
To see which you have, open it up as a text document. It will look like jibberish. But, the top portion will say a company name within the jibberish. If you don't see Verisign or Tmobile, I would like to get ahold of the one on your device!!!

Wow, before my GPS would find 2 satellites and never lock. First time with this file took 30 minutes to get lock with 5 satellites. Now I can get lock in about 20 seconds with 5 - 8 satellites.

I put this on, but now i constantly have the "searching for GPS" notification in the bottom right corner or my device next to the time. Though from what i see, it has a MUCH better fix on me in the maps program. So it seems to be working..but irritating.
Edit: I did another reboot (Second or third one.) And now the GPS thing isn't hanging anymore, weird, but hey if it works im cool lol.

Okay great. If it does it again, please do a screen shot (there's a free APP for that in the market). I'd like to see what it's saying. What app were you using when it was saying "searching for GPS" as you talked about?
Maybe something was cached from your previous configuration and it took a few reboots for whatever script clears the cache to be initialized? Just a wild guess since I don't own a tablet (yet!).

It seems i stand corrected yet again. It came back, when i went into the basic google maps application. It pulls up the searching for gps notification in the task bar and will remain their the plus side of 10 minutes.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App

Im on the new 3.2 that was posted a500 7.006.01, the one that preservers root, but modifies very little. As well as Thors 3.4 kernal, (the rest) version.
---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------
I removed your gps file, put mine back rebooted, and then deleted and put yours back, rebooting again, and it has opened both the basic maps application. And GPS Status (which i downloaded to test this a little more.) Without the hanging GPS notifcation, so im wondering if its an issue with configuration or just the system trying to hold on or get back into that old configuration. I dont know, not my forte.

Are you saying all is well now after those steps? It does sound like kernel issues. A user on another device had a similar issue. He swapped kernels and was okay.

[MOD][V3.1][06/07/12] 26.13.04.19 Radio lib-ril/gps .so updater-CM9 & AOKP based ROMs

[MOD][V3.1][06/07/12] 26.13.04.19 Radio lib-ril/gps .so updater-CM9 & AOKP based ROMs
FOR CM9, ANDROMADUS & AOKP BASED ROMS​
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Update to Version 3.1 Why? I have done some research on flashing radio images and found some interesting information. Apparently there are 2 files that pertain to radios in the RUU releases, a radio.img and a rcdata.img. We all have been flashing only the radio.img file but the rcdata.img contains further carrier information that directly relates to information in the build.prop file. I have put together a new 26.13.04.19 radio zip file that contains both the radio.img and the rcdata.img. The .img files were taken directly from the latest T-Mobile RUU release. This new radio/rcdata zip needs to be flashed through bootloader just like you flashed a radio in the past. As usual, you''ll need to rename the zip file to PC10IMG.zip before you reboot into bootloader. Check the MD5 Sum after you download the file to your sdcard to make sure it matches the following:
MD5 Sum: 360EA26286DEC39FC8008B266F470839
DOWNLOAD VISION_RADIO_RCDATA_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19.zip
MIRROR: http://www.mediafire.com/?vdecstne5uuvuxn
I have also updated information in the build.prop patcher with the proper information to match the information in the rcdata.img. This is now Version 3.1. After you flash the radio/rcdata img from the above link through bootloader, download the latest version 3.1 and flash through recovery along with the EFS wipe.
Several months ago T-Mobile released it's latest update for the G2. The OTA update contained new radio firmware and updated ril library files. Many of us running CM7 that flashed the .19 radio and matched the updated lib-ril files that were contained in this release found improvements in performance and most noticeably an improvement in battery life. It was later incorporated into Tsubus' ILWT CM7 ROM. You can find the CM7 lib-ril matching thread here and read users comments after updating the files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335127
I have compiled a new mod for CM9 & AOKP based ICS ROMS that should offer similar results. This has been tested with CM9, Andromadus and AOKP builds.
ATTENTION: I am not responsible if you brick your phone or if it starts a fire in your apartment by using this mod! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Procedure:
If you are not running the .19 radio along with the latest rcdata.img, download from the above link. If you need further flashing instructions get them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Make a complete backup with recovery.
Download the updater and flash through recovery. This will patch your build.prop file and update your radio ril and gps .so files. Many thanks to GinoAMelone for supplying the code to patch the build.prop file without having to replace it.
Download Version 3.1 - 26.13.04.19 Radio - ril and gps .so updater for CM9 based ROMS
MIRROR: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ausxuv6ppxhs0m
IMPORTANT: While you are in recovery, wipe your cache and dalvick cache and wipe the efs partitions by flashing the Vision EFS partition wipe tool.
Download EFS Partition Wipe Tool
http://www.mediafire.com/?rcdmtauld5mp27t
Reboot your device and you're good to go.
NOTE: At first boot, it might take a little longer than usual for you to connect to your local towers since you've wiped your radio data and the efs partitions need to be re-populated with the new data. This also means you'll need to be outside and wait several minutes for a new gps lock as the new data is obtained from the satellites.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if this works out for you!

OK just tried it and all is working well now. I used the files put them in the correct places and the gps didnt work. Then I flashed the file in your op and the installation aborted, BUT my gps is working now. I dont know how though.
Thanks for all the work (and yes I hit the thanks button)!

Will be trying this later tonite after I flash the latest Andromadus test nightly.

Will this work for the unofficial CM9 ROM? Also, thank you for doing this again. When i matched .so files on CM7.2, that was the first time i ever managed to eliminate the constant battery drain that i would always suffer from when using CM7. I hope that now we can see similarly amazing battery life on CM9 .
Also, would i be able to push those files to their respective directories through ADB? Or is it better to just use root explorer for copying them to where they're meant to go?

Tried it with [ROM][02-05-12][ICS|CM9] CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 3 [Unofficial].
Signal was better before using those RILs so i restored my old ones.

If matching the radio drivers (that were released at the same time with the radio firmware) is giving you a worse signal this could be evidence that you are using the wrong radio with your particular carrier in France. The .19 radio was released by T-Mobile USA. You might want to try the radio released with the latest Desire Z AOSP ROM by your carrier if you encounter other issues such as echos in calls, dropped calls with call waiting etc. Sorry this didn't work out for you but thanks for giving it a go!

This should work for any ICS ROM that is CM9 based. Right now I'm getting battery life as good as I was getting with CM7 with the matched .so files and my GPS locks quick with NMEA strings and 9-11 satellites in view. Data switching handshakes are very quick, seemingly more quickly than CM7.
ADB will work fine. Anyway you get those files over to your system folders is OK. I've actually opened up the ROM zip folders before flashing and moved them there that way, but I believe you have to have an ENG H-boot, which I have, to flash an unsigned ROM.

the ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength bit missing is why your signal strength is not updating though.

[Q] Compile 4g Icon Mod Into .Zip

Hello XDA, I was wondering if anyone could compile these instructions into a flashable zip file. This mod basically changes the 'H' icon in the status bar, into the 4G icon for CM9 based roms only. However, if I change roms, or flash an update, I lose the mod. So, if the instructions could be compiled for me, or if someone tells me how to do it, I would be very grateful, as I am quite new to this stuff.
Instructions by TmpKranz as posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856493
Before doing anything, make a Nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong!!!
0. Download the SystemUI.apk and place it in the root directory of your SD card.
1. Open the Terminal Emulator app.
2. Type su and hit the Enter button to gain root permissions.
3. Type busybox mount -o remount -w /system and hit the Enter button to make the /system partition writable.
4. Type cp -f /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/ and hit the Enter button to copy the modified file to where it belongs.
5. Type chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk and hit the Enter button to fix the file's permissions.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
System Ui.apk: http://db.tt/KrWrxQR5 (can't figure out how to upload files; sorry)

This thread gives a basic rundown of how to create one. Its pretty straightforward actually.
My basic rundown is this (I haven't done this in a while so I could be wrong):
1) the META-INF folder structure that I believe is part of every flashable zip. I forget what information it contains offhand, but I think it is specific to device. So you could pull this from any other flashable zip for the G2/DZ. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
2) The modified file within the file structure it is on the phone. So for yours it would be /system/app/systemui.apk I think.
3) The script to copy the apk (or whatever modified files) to the appropriate locations on the phone. This can include using show_progress to update that status bar in the background of recovery, a print output command to state exactly what steps are happening, etc.
Sorry its kind of vague. I'd help you write it, but I'm at work, and don't have everything I need in front of me. Besides the fact that none I've ever written work properly. :silly: Also that this is a simple and good learning experience to see how things work. It's good to know how to do this and can be a first step for larger things.
For reference, you can check out the zip someone had put together for me when I did the old Search to Recent mod in early ICS days. Located here.

Hm, which SystemUI.apk are you guys using for the base? The reason I ask is because mimicry contains many SystemUI changes that other cm9 based roms don't have. Replacing that file will break things for sure.
There are definitely better ways of doing this than providing a SystemUI.apk to flash over, though. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT:
Alright I just put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though I haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.

That said, the method of replacing the icon right now isn't really a good indicator of true 4G. Let's say we're arguing that HSPA+ is 4G (rather than just HSPA). Currently the phone doesn't distinguish between HSPA & HSPA+ with icons, they will always just say "H" (or 4G with this mod).
I would rather programmatically determine which is which and show the 4G icon when on HSPA+. If there's interest I'll actually include it in the code, rather than as a mod option in Aroma.

out of curiosity what then is the major hurtle do distiguish between the two, is it the os not communicating properly with the firmware?

Thx blkjck, I was using the system ui from Mimicry. That would be good if it could be added in aroma. Ill edit my thread and add your zip aswell. (Giving u credit of course)

Actually no, there's a TelephonyManager case to match the NETWORK_TYPE_HS* types. HS*PA, HSPA and HSPAP respectively. They were all being lumped under one case rather than separating HSPAP to 4G. The "fix" is to match NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP to the built in set of 4G icons (since right now only LTE is being considered 4G).

Np!
So I gotta ask everybody. Under Settings -> About Phone ->Status -> Mobile Network type, what do you see? I'm not able to get HSPAP:15 on my mobile carrier, the only support HSDPA (up to 42mbps). Is anybody hitting HSPAP:15 w/ the Desire Z? That's what the 4G icon "fix" would look for since only HSPA+ and LTE are currently considered 4G technologies and not the lower HSDPA.
So I guess I need to clarify. Do you guys want to force your phones to be purposely inaccurate by labeling HSPA/HSDPA as 4G or is this an issue of HSPA+ (HSPAP:15) not being properly identified as 4G?
EDIT: Okay so according to GSM Arena, our phones aren't even capable of getting HSPA+.
Uhh.. so lemme ask you guys. Why are you trying to incorrectly label your phones as 4G when they're not?

well I'm not interested really, when I first got my g2 I was shocked to see 4g in the status bar as I checked before I got it hoping to use tmobiles "4g" network and here I was like "yea it works" did a little research and found it was added to some ota update as a marketing gimick and nothing more.
having said that my girlfriend also has one of these and was disapointed when I rooted her phone and put a custom rom on it, she dosent like the h for whatever reason so I put the 4g on hers and she has been happy ever sense. personally I don't care much for it and only suggested adding to aroma for people like her who want 4g and people like me who want h
but no biggie either way on hers or my behalf as she will never go to a new rom (hates change when it comes to technology) and ill never use it

HD Voice - Let's get this going - Bring your files!

Let's try get this working on networks that support it! Your network MUST support this in order to work!
Ok, so after someone asked if HD-Voice was working on my ROM... it got me wondering. As it turns out, it wasn't working on my ROM, and that turned out to be because of the nature of custom ROMs. As we are usually installing the latest version from god knows where in the world, we often miss out on some of the carrier-centric stuff that is actually good.
With the help of pinguy1982 I managed to get HD-Voice working on my custom ROM... but only for the Three Network (that I've tested).
To do this, I had to take some files from the STOCK Branded ROM for Three, which was the XXDLJ1 release we had some months back. These were the files from the CSC folder "/system/csc/H3G/*" and copy them to the foot of my CSC folder, overwriting the ones that were there. This is changing the default CSC. Then I edited the CSCVersion.txt and SW_Configuration.xml files to reflect the change in CSC/sales code.
So CSCVersion.txt went from:
Code:
I9300OXAELLA
to
Code:
I9300H3GELLA
And SW_Configuration.xml from:
Code:
<CSCName>I9300OXA</CSCName>
to:
Code:
<CSCName>I9300H3G</CSCName>
I put these files into my ROM and flashed and this enabled WB-AMR
This is where XDA does it's thing.... I don't know of all the different branded versions nor can I download them all myself.
In this thread I'm asking people to upload these files for me and other devs to use and experiment with this so we can deliver the best experience to our users.
If you know of a branded ROM that has WB-AMR (HD-Voice) enabled, download it and send us the files. The whole CSC folder from /system/ would be fine, but you could also just send the files that are in the folder. We need:
Code:
contents.db
customer.xml
default_workspace.xml
language.xml
others.xml
sales_code.dat
and possibly
Code:
features.xml
You can test if your phone/branded ROM has WB-AMR enabled by dialling:
*#197328640#
And pressing 8 (the last one).

Ok but basically unless your provider is 3, there's no point, since the other providers do not support high def voice, no matter what we have enabled on phone.

Possible to create a CWM file to enable HD-VOICE on 3UK? would help a lot of us who are on 3 and using various roms...

If these are carrier specific components in the ROMs, does that mean unbranded phones wouldn't be able to make use of HD voice stuff?

Yes and no. I could, but it may break the com.android.phone process as I'm trying to work out what is causing that. If you're fully stock, no removed applications and all stock apk's, then this will work no problem.

I know there are handfull of operators around the world that support hd voice.
I only commented because post somehow seems to suggest, or at least does not explicitly say that this does not work unless your operator already supports hd voice.
I have come across several people that seems to think otherwise, primarily because of posts like this. I am not implying this is a bad topic or post. Far from it. But it should have disclaimer either in title or post itself, saying this, so that newbies don't perpetuate this false belief.
I've read some providers in Russia also support it. Can't find an article though, but I think they were the first testbed for hd voice years ago, or whether that particular provider carries sgs3.

I'll update the OP accordingly I don't want to be spreading confusion. It also seems like this is more hassle than it's worth, really. I can't say I've noticed the difference in call quality anyway!

Considering that you also need another caller that has phone capable of hd voice and enabled, on same hd voice capable network, no surprise there.

does 2g or 3g network and fastdormancy enable or disable effect WB-AMR status ???

Orange uk supports hd voice. Not sure about how to enable it though as I have an unbranded handset.

Hi,
T-Mobile US appears to support this. Myself and several of my friends have Galaxy S III's, and when we call each other the quality is unreal.
I want to flash a custom ROM, but know that I'd lose HD Voice. I'd rather not. Is there still work on enabling it for custom ROM's?
Thanks

If you're rooted can you pull your entire /system folder to your PC?
If you have your CSC folder and modem, it can be done, I believe.

Sorry, but no go. I tried CM10.1 and put my csc folder in /system. I'm not even sure if CM will pick up csc info. If only I were a developer instead of a tinkerer...
I made a thread in the appropriate area to try and get some assistance with my specific model of phone. I'll report back here with what I find, as well as post to this thread if I get it to work. Here's my csc stuff if anyone wants to take a look.

HD Voice on ARHD 22.4

Hi! I am on ARHD 22.4 but HD Voice is disabled on this ROM even though I am sure my network supports it. When I was trying out ARHD 30.1 (based on 4.2.1) yesterday, I noticed that HD Voice was enabled on that ROM. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay on that ROM for other reasons so I went back to 22.4. (I hope that makes sense.) I was wondering if you could help me get HD Voice to work now and I have pulled the CSC folder from ARHD 30.1 which is 13.7MB. It is here. I am using the DXELK1 modem from my region which I downloaded from here.
I really don't know what else I can do so I come to you for help. Thank you! :crying:

t mobile UK supports this as well ) http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/our-network/network-news/
if I just edit the files would it wipe my device after a reboot?

Like I say guys if you know your network supports it then show me more a BRANDED ROM for your network and i can try something for you
