How I made my GPS working on A500 - Acer Iconia A500

I write down how I made my GPS working after I spent hours trying all tips in the hope it can help someone.
What I write should apply to all ROMs since it concerns the GPS subsystem whose source is closed ("I love proprietary code...").
For an A500 (and not A501) try from the shell
Code:
ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/*
if you get
No such file or directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then continue reading.
Now you can try from the shell
Code:
getprop ro.dinfo.radio
if you get
Wifi
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cannot help while if you get
3G
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(this should be the answer for A501, I guess) or something else then I can help.
To solve your problem simply add
ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to /system/build.prop
You can do it as you want for example by the following commands
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig
echo ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi >> /system/build.prop
Pay attention that there are two (2) > in the last line.

Details
I now describe how I reached the previous results because this could help also those making ROMs.
In init.picasso.rc there is actually the solution.
If you look at the services you notice that
# Start GPS daemon
service gps-daemon /system/bin/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android -c /system/etc/gps/gpsconfig.xml
class late_start
user root
group root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then (thanks to engineerings at BMC)
Code:
# /system/bin/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android -h
glgps_nvidiaTegra2android [-d] [-c] [config_file] [job_name] [-p pidfile]
-d: It'll be run as a daemon
-c: It'll be run in a console
-h: This help
-s: stick in a tight loop to await attaching by GDB
-p: file name where the pid will be saved, by default it'll be /var/run/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android.pid
gives you some hints on how to use /system/etc/gps/gpsconfig.xml.
In particular at its beginning you find
<hal
acPortName="/dev/ttyHS1"
lBaudRate="115200"
cLogEnabled="false"
acLogDirectory="/data/gps"
ltoFileName="lto.dat"
ctrlPipe="/data/gps/glgpsctrl"
lcsApiSockName="/dev/socket/gps"
gpioNStdbyPath="/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/value"
gpioDelayMs="120"
arp-supl-enable="false"
/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then if you change to
cLogEnabled="true"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and restart the gps subsystem you find nice logs in /data/gps.
You can produce logs and test your gps subsystem by issuing commands as
Code:
/system/bin/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android Cold_Starts
which can be used to make a cold start.
From these logs it was easy to suppose that the issue was that /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/value was not present.
Then in init.picasso.rc you find
# WIFI SKU GPS (BCM)
on property:ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi
write /sys/class/gpio/export 203
write /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/value 0
write /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/direction out
# FOR Ericsson GPS
on property:ro.dinfo.radio=3G
chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/002/049
chown root root /dev/bus/usb/002/049
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which explains what you should expect in A500 (ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi) and A501 (ro.dinfo.radio=3G).

When I type.... /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/.... I get the following
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/active_low
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/direction
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/edge
Control
runtime_active_time
runtime_status
runtime_suspended_time
wakeup
wakeup_count
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/subsystem
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/uevent
/sys/class/gpio/gpio203/value
---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
Then when I type getprop. ro.dinfo.radio....... I get radio
How do get this fixed if needed

[Q] Syslog for Android?

I'm trying to start busybox's httpd at boot w/o success. However, I can start it manually post-boot w/o problems. Can I enable a syslog facility so I can see what happens when the bootup script calls it?
Code:
httpd -p 80 -u 80 -h /sdcard/www -c /etc/httpd.conf
I've tried running the process as -u 80 and as -u 0, both work post-boot, not before.

Not that simple
There is no rc.local, but I inserted
Code:
/sbin/syslogd -O /data/log/syslog
into the beginning of init.rc, but it logs nothing.
Go into applications and turn on debugging mode. Plug your phone into your computer and run 'adb logcat' or something to that effect. You can play around with your phone and watch the log scroll by.
Your gonna need the whole ADB setup. Go to the samsung epic 4G wiki and check the article about getting root and flashing a new kernel. This will have the instructions for getting ADB on your system as well.

I've compiled my own rooted kernel and a new busybox with syslogd to see if I can diagnose why bb's httpd isn't starting at boot. As I mentioned, it starts manually w/o a problem. adb logcat isn't very useful in this particular situation. Thanks for the reply though.

I'm kind of a noob myself, but I recall reading that init.rc isn't really a shell script. It has a special syntax that is parsed by Android init, I'm not sure just throwing shell commands in there is going to work. I'd post a link to the doc but I can't post links yet

Weird, the first 500 lines of init.rc are nothing BUT shell commands.
i.e. chmod 0666 /dev/input/event0
Anyway, further along in init.rc the daemon processes are started up. syntax looks like:
Code:
service playlogo /system/bin/playlogo
user root

I've tried setting up my programs (httpd,syslogd) as services, no joy.

sorry to hijack your post.
but i want to know how do you modify the /init.rc,
because when i reboot, the /init.rc will automatic recovery the old verison.
did you check the /init.rc, is it modified, after your phone reboot?
Does logcat not give you the info you want?
You can go here to find out how to redirect stdout and stderr to the logcat as well.
init.rc is part of the root fs, which is compiled into the kernel. So, a custom kernel is required. Search for custom kernel for details.

Fix Mobile Data drain.

After 2 days of testing i think i have a clean solution to fix the mobile data drain by setting the preferred network mode to 1 (GSM only). No need to delete or rename anything. Just update the db that is already there .
You need a rooted device for this.
Extract the sqlite3.zip and push to your device with the following commands:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3
adb shell
su (to gain root permissions)
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'
reboot
I'll give this a try. Thanks
Edit: Is it possible I can do this on the device without adb? Adb doesn't want to detect my tablet with debugging enabled.

with root explorer and a terminal app (eg connectbot) you can do it.
What exactly does this do? Is it the same result as renaming the phone and telephone apks?

This updates the database configuration setting that causes the phone to not to look for 3G networks only 2G (GSM which includes GPRS and EDGE). I'll let the OP elaborate more, but this config change must reduce the battery usage by causing the phone and telephony services to chill out out a bit when in standy mode.

couldn't describe it better
2g = only poll cell if request is made that needs cell, 3g = poll all the time, which means that if you change to only 2g then it should not check for cell if you are in wifi range.
I am sure thats how the tech works if i remember my time at nokia right LOL
is there a post around here to explain how to get ADB working on this thing? i can ADB shell in but i get "operation not permitted" when i try to mount /system as r/w
(yes i'm rooted)
thanks guys
edit: i got permission to mount the /system as r/w but when i try to push the sqlite3 i get "Device not found"
i suppose i can give a little more info
i'm running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit with an administrator command prompt and the newest iconia a500 usb drivers from acer's support site and i have my SDK up to date
I did this and it doesn't seem to have a big effect. 2 hours on battery mostly in sleep, Display 33%, Cell 31%, Idle 18%, etc.
Richard:
Just out of curiosity (Yes, I fully acknowledge I should have done something like "select * from secure where name='preferred_network_mode'" beforehand! ) what is the default value of "preferred_network_mode" before this modification sets it to "1"?

It's not about what your stats say, but what your mA drain is. i loose only a couple of % in a night (sleep).

I am getting the same error; I also am rooted, running ADB from Windows 7 (and Mac OS X - tried both, same error). I also have latest drivers, and latest ADB.
I get "operation not permited error." Did you have any luck on getting further?
try this instead as a work around:
adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/sqlite3
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
# chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'
# reboot
I've never been able to use root level adb cmnds with this device from outside the adb shell env, I think you need to update the default.prop, but this gets overwritten on reboot, I'm sure there is a way to fix this, and has proabably been discussed in another thread I've been too lazy to go find lol.

ah yes thats right. no uname in stock.
could you pls go to system settings or dload an app to get it?
you would put it in /data/local/modules (for ex) and let cifs manager load it in.

you cant do a uname. your stock retail does not come with the functionality.
get this to me some other way. either through system settings or even through setcpu (that will report that whole string).

your not allowed to insmod.
youll need root access.
if you have an unlocked bootloader, flash in CWM, then push to your system at the bare minimum, su and superuser, then back to nvlfash and put back your stock recovery.
if you dont have an unlocked bootloader, then youll have to intrusively gain root.

what you can try is get CIFS manager, and load it in via that app. it may take.
try it, and see if it works out.
Finally, site is back up.
Ok, if I use CIFS Manager, tell it to load via insmod and set the correct path, kill the program, launch the program, then the end of dmesg reads:
Code:
<3>[ 160.853751] cifs: version magic '2.6.36.3-58 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
If I do lsmod, I get:
Code:
dhd 225862 0 - Live 0xbf000000
Lastly, if I try to mount a SMB share, I get "No such device".
I thought I was already rooted... Or at least the superuser app works. And I am on CWM. Is there a reason to go back to stock?
Ill change the vermagic string in the module.
Ill repost tonight.
if you are using the kernal from pershoot, cifs manager simply will work with the module ... i was told so few days ago and i am using it. now .

I'm just on stock kernel. Don't really want to overclock... I like my battery life.
unless i am wrong, i believe after flash the kernel..... if you do not install setcpu and overclock by using it, it runs at 1Ghz.
kernel flash also won't erase whatever installed on the 10.1 ..... just in case you will worry that as i originally did ...

But you can flash the kernel only on tabs with an unlocked bootloader, isn't it?
So if your bootloader is locked you need cifs.ko for the stock kernel.

get the inode of a file

i'm new here so first of all hello to everyone.
heres my problem. hopefully somebody can help me.
how can i get an inode of a file. that meens to read a
particular part in the data partition. of course that
could only be possible with su, thats clear.
You've got to use the command line for every root thing.

Compile or use a version of busybox which has it and use that one. Add it to your apps assets and copy it to the data directory of your app. Then use that binary for the ls command.
That part is very difficult on Android. On one device you have got the ls command but the output might look completely different on another phone. (Some time ago someone reported that he noticed "ls" being linked to "ls -l" on one phone. On another phone the option "-l" might be missing.
So it is recommended to use busybox for every root command.

In Linux you have to add the right to execute it first:
Code:
su
chmod 775 <filename>

Root attempt #1, anyone want to try it..

Can someone post a current kernel version screenshot off of their phone please..
Update: (11/08/2014)
Instructions:
Grab file at --> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B31X8bH_5Gl-NmExWmhlbzJ5T3c/view?usp=sharing
adb push root /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 root
./root
If you get # symbol for prompt, you have root.
Let me know the results please.. I am trying to do this without actually having a phone, I might as well go get one today though, because this might end up being to painful this way..
Update (11/15/2014):
Well, at this point I have been able to establish a remote shell to my PC. This might not sound like much, but if your on the phone and run my binary it will establish a remote shell to anywhere that you specify where a valid listener is listening on an IP and port that is specified. Malware people would go nuts with this. Why? Because with this essentially I could grab all personal information from your SDcard and other areas without your permission. Pretty much run any command that you can do now locally, I could do on your phone remotely. So, I am seeing now what leverage points I might be able to make with this..

I don't think so. Look at your model, the developer edition I believe would be a different model..
Well, hold on, maybe.. It might have an identical model number. That would be strange...

It's for the Dev edition. It was listed as the retail version model number but it is indeed for the dev version.

Well, it is essentially overflowing to try and gain root, it will not in any way cause any permanent change to your phone or flag anything.

I have a windows computer with adb installed and everything.
