I did not mean for the original title to be dirogitory i simply ment to make it as clear as posible it fixes many problems that we have had in that rom i dont want somone applying it to another 2.1 rom that it doesnt work for and coming back and saying ruler why wernt you more clear...
this was all posted (in one post) by rank78 i reposted so i could make a wiki page out of it (the fix finds were descovered by multilple people if you want your name up here pm me and il put it up)

these problems are more-so in all 2.X roms, the way your title is is like your bashing, but thanks anyway

x2 but thanks for the effort.

Great info, but can you edit the title of the post? It seems a bit harsh to flipz. All these guys deserve the utmost respect for doing these ROMs and not asking for much from us.
Just my 2 cents, thanks again.

wow people are sensitive. he's not bashing flipz...

rank78 also posted the links to the files needed for these fixes, i think it would be a good idea to post them on the first post of this topic

Great
Thanks Rolermon,
Quick question, would the MMS fix work for the 2.1 Darchdroid? Also, when you said step 5. update carriers set mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER' where name='Production'; -----------are we to changing the MDN=************ for something on our end, or do we leave it as it is?
Edit---------Another question on the QUICKBOOT FIX - WORKS--------
Where do I find the reboot file that I need to push to /system/bin?

fyi the quickboot fix is for the program quickboot that wasn't functioning after flashing the rom.
the reboot file is zipped in my post

Many thanks, but I was able to push the file to the destination. About the MMS, i did as instructed, still didn't help at all. I am not able to mms pics out either.
I am on Darchdroid V1 2.1

You guys probably know a lot more about this than I do, but shouldn't the MMS link be:
http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS?X-SPRINT-MDN="Your MSID Number" ?
on my hero, i just put in:
http: //mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS
and it worked.

There still needs to be appropriate quit and .quit statements added in to get out of sqlite3 and shell.

No, supposedly both work. The MDN version works all the time and the MMS version works some of the time.

Ok but after that statement, what goes after, cuz since we are in the sqlite3 telephony.db, we cant adb reboot from there. What is the command to close/save the statement. I tried .quit, exit, adb reboot and no success.
how do we know that by doing the above statements the change took effect?
1) update carriers set mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=1+area code + cell #' where name='Production'; *1+area code + cell '*
2)http: //mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS

This also worked on Souffle!!! Thanks guys!

How I do this command?

In Blayo 0.7 rom written
kernel modules
Loading kernel modules is done by editing /data/local/modules file. If you want to enable for example ipv6 support, you have to edit this file adding "ipv6" (without absolute path and any suffixes) to it. The same goes for other modules too. Modules are added separated by spaces.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So how I edit this files?or how I can find their location?
Has this forum some information about editing Android system?

Using some file manager (astro, open intents, root explorer.. whatever you have installed), navigate to that modules file and open it in a text editor, then literally just type in 'ipv6' without the quotations, then save and exit. Reboot your phone and you're good to go.

If you feel intensely nerdy you could echo it in:
Code:
adb shell
echo "ipv6" >> /data/local/modules
reboot

write "ipv6" quotes or not?

With quotes, I think. To check what you added to the file you'd just echo or cat the file back. If it's go quotes then you can overwrite the whole file by using a > instead of >>

Sorry for this silly question but what the difference between echo or cat?
I think I will be on the first way because I don't really know how to use ADB right?

Lol. Cat would be better in this case. And I did suggest this method with the preface "If you feel intensely nerdy you could ..."
ADB is easy though

Can you plz give me a guide with ADB?
I will try your way but there is may be something bad with my phone?

Download this (it's the ADB tools) to a known location. Then extract the zip to a known location. Open a command window in that location (for the sake of this guide: C:\ADB) So open CMD (start, run, type CMD, hit enter) In CMD type "cd C:\ADB". Plug your phone into the computer (make sure you're using CM). Debugging mode should be on (you'll get a notification in the status bar of your phone). Type "adb shell". You'll end up with a "#" and nothing else (if you get a "$" just type "su" and hit enter, and on the phone's screen accept the Superuser request).
Execute your comands

I guess I'm kinda late on the response, but yeah, it's supposed to be blank. And then all you have to to is add in "ipv6", WITHOUT the quotes, and then save and exit. But TGF's method works well too, didn't know to do that.

No problem I will look and learn too
better that i will enter as a 'Hex editor'?
because on "text editor" I cannot edit

[Q] Who can tell me how to run command?

I read a thread,it's DT for Cypress.
It says:

Code:insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8mt.ko
But I don't know how to run the command.Who can tell me what should I do?
sorry for my bad English and thanks for answering

i think it says u run it using dmesg in shell
EDIT:
use command prompt
go to ur adb folder
type in:
adb shell dmseg
and don't forget to write the "su"
_________________________________________
end line -------> correct me if I'm wrong...

thanks for answering and I have solved the problem.

or if you want to be easy
using adb,, on page 3 u can see it

Please help me... I've got a similar problem.
I just enabled multitouch for my x8.
In order to enable it I use these commands at terminal emulator:
su (enter)
insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8mt.ko (enter)
I don't want to make multitouch running on startup (so I haven't changed my hw_config.sh) because of an annoying bug... the screen shuts down after several seconds as if I weren't touching it at all!
Can I create a *.sh file with these commands (su and insmod...) so that I can run it everytime I need to enable multitouch instead of writing them in the terminal?
I created and executed (with root explorer) a *.sh file with these exact lines but it didn't work. What did I do wrong? Should I write it differently in the *.sh file?

[q] terminal emulator wont work!

So basically my terminal emulator wont output anything it just looks like this...
Example:
$ dmesg | grep ax8mt
$
if i try the su command it tells me that terminal emulator now has root permissions and then it just looks like this.....
$ su
# dmesg | grep ax8mt
#
it still doesnt output anything... this is really annoying because i cant check if my modules are loaded properly and i cant change mode in v005 of ax8mt
anyone know what i should do?

Reboot and type that again.

If reboot doesn't help try installing one from market...I used to have the same problem in some earlier versions of Floyo...

reboot didnt help
neither did third party emulator....i tried using better terminal emulator pro
any other suggestions?

That has nothing to do with your TE, as far as I know it means, that your module is not working properly.
I had the same thing in miniCM6:
I typed
Code:
dmesg | grep x8mddi
or something like this, and I got no output, although I had typed su before.
Then, I wrote the required line in hw_config.sh and everything worked fine.

I thought it might be that at first but pinch zoom works and smartass works so i know its not the modules

Try in Terminal Emulator write this and you will see if module is loaded or not:
lsmod | grep ax8mt

[HOWTO] Dalvik2Cache 90MB extra Space for Apps

found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken

hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)

works great, thanks!

since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

i placed a scipt in /etc/init.d/ but it isnt execute on startup ...
ps:
the script is startable and permissons should be ok.
if i place the name of that script (/etc/init.d/start.sh) at the end of hw_config.sh then its executet on startup

Hi friends,
I've been trying to do this but I really don't know how to use adb. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, and fastboot, flash...ect. But every time I type "adb remount" then I get the answer is 'adb' is not found (blah blah blah...).
Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.

I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?

Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.

hey! This sounds like a best solution if you dont want to unlock the bootloader. But I am not too advanced user yet, could you please explain me this one with more details? actually I only need to know
1). which permissions exactly need to be set and
2). what to write inside the hw_config.sh file
Any help appreciated!

bump! no one has any ideas?

Thanks it's work in arc
