*I'm not updating it, but many users find this useful, so thread is kept as is for now*
Not sure if anyone got so far, to getting the honeycomb showing connection and selectable APN in settings?
anyways,
from my port of honeycomb to folio100, and now experiments with a500.. i got huawei dongle's running using the builtin functions.
you will need to have root'd your device. and this might break a system-update, if any of my files are updated during next OTA..
but back to the working 3G.
Working 3G USB dongles:
Do note, your modem version can be seen on its white label written with very small text.
some modems require zerocd (linuxtool) or commands executed in windows to disable the mass storage part of it. (search google for the commands)

Download View attachment 3g-usb-stock1.zip for 3.0.1 stock release Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3: (vermagic=2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)

HOWTO:
- first: Backup your /system/build.prop on the tablet , just copy the file to a safe place, as its important if you wish to do a online update later on.
- updated zip, so you can now install the zip as an "update" using ClockWorkMod/CWM if you got this installed.
- download the "system.zip" attached to this post.
- unpack all files to a temporary folder ie. C:\myfiles
- assuming you got adb running
* push files to your tablet with;
adb shell mkdir /data/local/temp
adb push C:\myfiles\system /data/local/temp/
* next run
adb shell
* then run all commands below in the shell
su -
mount -orw,remount /system (i forgot this line, ITS IMPORTANT)
cp -a /data/local/temp/* /system/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/pppd
chmod 4755 /system/bin/rild
chmod 755 /system/bin/rild.run
chmod -R 755 /system/etc/ppp
If you done these steps correctly, and you reboot.
you will now have a working 3G option in Settings -> wireless networks
so you can configure your APN now and connect to your 3G network.
and you got it all automated with honeycomb 3g! no terminal needed to start 3G!
HINTS
- Other reports are to remember to "Disable PIN" on the card.. I have no personal experience on this part, but check up on it, if its not working perfectly, or no data, but network is ok.
- I got reports back about enabling roaming to make it work, and also remember the story from Folio100 with 3G dongles..
so if you cannot get data connection at all, try to enable roaming and see if APN does not appear which matches your isp. maybe read you ISP website to confirm it.
- If you happen to remove the dongle, there is a solution (using as example gscript) to restart the ril daemon.
in a shell you can restart the ril-daemon if you reinsert the 3g usb dongle.
do it like this in the shell:
su -
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon
HOWTO FOR RESET'ing ,massstorage on Huawei modems.

Insert modem into pc and wait for driver to install
check in device manager which com port is assignated to your modem
download putty
here the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
close every program related to modem
run putty
click serial below port number and then change port number to one previously founded
click open
write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok
write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc
write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled
You need also put sim card from modem to any phone and disable pin checking.

i believe that line is even highlighted and commented as forgotten previously, so its there for sure..
you cannot miss it
or do you mean some other /system mount?
Looking forward to testing this. Mine is a Verizon Novatel Wireless, do you think this will work with it?

it would probably work, if you got the huawei dongles..
the major is if you need different kernel modules.. those are in the other thread if needed, i included those without -gxXXXX version info.. as thats the ones for the latest EU model update and works here.
Thanks Dexter. One question. Can these files be pushed using terminal emulator instead?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Yes,
this can of course be done in a terminal, if needed.
just forget the part with "adb",
but all the commands should be executed, and the files copied to a sdcard temporily and copy from that location to the /system
Dexter thanks. What Huawei modem do you recommend?

Correct, that is also mentioned in post #1.
custom build.prop can be made if the lines at the bottom are copied to your own version you got with a simple one-liner in a shell.
echo "picasso.3g=true
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
ro.pad.features.modem=true " >>/system/build.prop
so it works on any new build.prop change..

ill figure something out.. maybe an actual patch can be made?
i do know how to make the different update.zip's ... just got A500, so not sure what is possible and not, on this semi-blocked tablet..
but also know motorola mobiles, i have had my part of blocked devices, and do workarounds to make something work.
1 update.zip to install? and another to remove?
we dont have custom recovery working.... so update zip wont work... scripts or apk are the only choices i see...

no no, i dont talk CWM.. i use the builtin tegra recovery for the additional functions.. the recovery is very close to CWM, but uses the old htc way, and do have specific write command for writing images..
ill check it out soon.. a500 is still new to me, although tegra is not...
I know im probably not doing something right, i followed the steps, and when i tap mobile networks it force closes?
Good news. Thanks

WARNING:
This update zip use write mot_boot_mode as shell script to run bootmenu,
don't modify it. otherwise, maybe you will get stop at M logo.
NOTICE: This update zip is ONLY for mb511, if you want to update, please check your stock rom.
If you use this update zip at charm(mb502), is unstable, mb502 and mb511 still has some different.
My STOCK ROM VERSION:
Code:
RUTEM_U3_01.14.16_DEBLUR_SIGNED_USARUTH15ND0RTINT056.0R_PDS000_USARUTHEHKTWEMARA_P011_A010_HWp3_1FF.sbf
If you try to call, but can't hear sound or can't registration of the carrier network, try this ROM version to update RC version.
RC version 5: v0.7.4
configure sources
NOTICE:If you want update fix zip, you should use bootmenu to update.When boot at motologo,click click and click "vol -" to enter bootmenu.
->because bootmenu executed by mot_boot_mode, so /system can't umount, only can remount.
--and update zip have to modify updater-script, remount /system.
[2013/11/13]:
last update:
Seems we can use the command of telnetd to do emergency rescue.
I write telnetd as shell script. It's only to execute bootmenu, if someone modify mot_boot_mode maybe cause bootmenu can't execute.
The telnetd will execute by eclair's init_mapphone30_umts.rc. But it's only can use bootmenu to execute adb to do some things (ex. modify mot_boot_mode).
These days, I try using 2ndboot, but still freeze on hbootmod, I don't know why we can't execute hbootmod.
I can't find anything solution, and can't get more message.
For me, it's hard to debug, I'm not kernel developer. I try to understand the source code of hbootmod, should stuck on do_branch.
But I still can't get any idea to solve this question.
Hope someone can complete it, let we can use new kernel.
RC version 5 should can be a stable version.
[2013/10/04]:
RC version 5:
Seems when I try fix camera, has incorrect modify of sensors. Fix incorrect modify.
write shell script /etc/init.d/07cphostapconf, copy /system/etc/wifi/softap/hostapd.conf to /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
modify updater-script, clear /data/dalvik-cache. if already upgraded previous version update zip, should can direct flash RC5, skip double wipe.

In terms of audio recorder, following information may help:
Flipout uses Sample Rate '16KHz' or "22KHz" to record sound, NOT '44KHz'. This is why flipout cannot use skype >_<. If you guys are using a recorder that uses Sample Rate "44KHz" (which almost all recorders set as default Sample Rate), you have to change the setting.
No phone to test

Hi to all,
Thanks to all that are working on this rom.
Since both models are merged in the same post because the same hardware, I wonder if I can deploy this rom into a Motorola Charm, or if I got to make changes on code, I guess at least have to change some files where refers to 511 to 512, and where refers "Ruth" to "Charm".
What other changes should I do to make this model work?
Thanx for response.
Please help
Please help me, How do i do to work because i have not service,
The problem is SIM NETWOR UNLOCK PIN
Please HELP!!!!
just the key pad related files, I was unable to compile this ROM from source using charm files, I think an update file to replace keypad files with charm should do the trick.
I shall try it and let you know.
there are so many attachments here

If you get to Homescreen, use a Root Explorer and edit /system/build.prop, check if

is set to "false", if it isn't in there, add it!
Hope i helped :fingers-crossed:

Hello folks at xda
i think it's better to ask our questions that are not helping developers to make stable cm12 here,and not post spams on dev thread.
i just want to say : leave developer threads for developers.:good:

How to install cm12 (mrsteve) on sp . by @[SIZE="5"]Dammer Martins[/SIZE]
Small tutorial for instalation of the steves build with working camera and wifi:
1-Download the ROM , ramdix fix, stock kernel and root fix
2-Open the ROM zip an push the ramdisk fiz in to system/bin folder
3-Now, put the ROM zip fixed, stock kernel and the root fix in your sdcard
4-Reboot in recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5-Install the ROM, the stock kernel and then the root fix
6-Now reboot the system and wait the phone boot up (this take a veeery long time, trust me )
Tips: don't flash the gapps with the ROM instalation and disable the adaptive brightness to make the auto reboots stop.

Fix connectivity problem on CM12.by @noahvt
Hello,
Finally a fix has arrived for android 5.0 which will allow wi-fi data, outgoing calls, ... to work again
Steps:
1: Make sure your device is running android 5.0 by mrsteve555: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...8#post56946968
2: root the device by flashing this file: http://download.chainfire.eu/589/Sup...erSU-v2.16.zip
3: Reboot your device and open up terminal emulator
4: type su, press enter and give it root acces
5: type setenforce 0 and press enter
6: WAIT untill the device asks you to enter your sim pin (this means that it worked)
7: turn on wi-fi (it might take a little long to turn on wi-fi though)
8: that's it
9: well not yet there is one step you can do to make it easier to change the selinux state, Download and install this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....selinux&hl=en
10: again make sure your device is rooted
11: open the app and now you can switch between permissive (this mode is the one that fixed the issues) and enforcing (default mode: wi-fi, ... don't work on this mode)
FAQ:
What is not affected (what doesn't work): The camera (can't connect to camera or hot reboot when launching camera app), more?
What is affected (what is fixed): WI-FI, Data (LTE too) Outgoing calls, more?
Do i have to do this everytime i boot my device: Yes for now you do
On what build does it run: mrsteve555's build, there were 2 reports of it not working on bagy's build

The problem will occur if you do this on first flash as itll take a lot longer to boot and the auto brightness forced reboot will kick in before it finishes. Once system is in and auto brightness disabled then install gapps.

Navigation bar and Pie controls
I know when I moved from 4.4 to 5.0 most things that I could get from xposed or custom roms were gone such as pie controls. I've been looking around for ages and I've managed to remove navigation bar using build.prop and adding a highly customizable pie controls app. If anyone wants a tutorial made to hide navigation bar and get pie controls just ask and ill do it
Pie
Keep Pie In Memory
1. Search root explorer in Google play 3rd one down.
2. Open it and press mount R/W ( top of app)
3. Go into root directory and open the folder data.
4. Create new file and name it local.prop
5. Long hold the newly created app and press open in text editor.
6. Add com.android.lmt
This is to prevent android removing the service from memory when it is low.
Remove Navigation Bar
1. Open build.prop located on /system
2. Add qemu.hw .mainkeys = 1 Remember to add a space between either side of the equals or it won't work
3.Do not reboot until you have downloaded LMT launcher
Add Pie Controls
LMT Launcher ( PIe Controls (Not an actual launcher like nova or apex its just called that) )
1. Download the latest apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
2. Open the app make sure autostart is selected
3. Swipe right until you get to Pie.
4.Use these settings ( navigate to the screenshots) it will get rid of the unneeded two extra slots of pie controls
Finally Reboot
If you have titanium backup convert lmt launcher into a system app to integrate the pie controls more into the system

Why should I add ramdisk fix?

Why not?
Because the ramdisk inside the zip is either corrupt or incomplete, resulting in bootloop if flashed.

Coz it'll go in a bootloop if you don't and then clog this thread too, by begging for a link and a guide which was clearly given and posted by many users.

ArchLinuxARM for the flo (2013 Nexus 7) - Native Boot with MultiROM
This is only tested on the Wi-Fi version. With a kernel swap, it should work on the deb (LTE) tablet, though mobile data is highly unlikely to work.
Big thanks to crondog at github for the initial porting work. https://github.com/crondog/arch-flo
Working:
3D Acceleration (OpenGL ES 3.0, Mesa) - can be unstable, however.
Wi-Fi (with NetworkManager)
Bluetooth
Audio
Installation
MultiROM must already be installed, and you must already have a hardboot-capable kernel installed as well.
You will need a Terminal Emulator or ADB Shell to install.
This assumes that arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz is in the root of your internal storage (/data/media/0).
Code:
su
tar -C /data/media/0/multirom/roms -xpzvf /data/media/0/arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz
Logging in
The username is "arch" and the password is "archlinux". Change the password ASAP.
For root, the username is "root" and the password is also "root". CHANGE THE PASSWORD ASAP!
You'll probably want to enable the On-Screen Keyboard (onboard) and set your Session to "MATE" up in the top right corner.

if I activate the onboard keyboard ist shows at the bottom of the login screen. login works without password. when beeing logged in the keyboard is gone. I can see the keyboard symbol on the left besinde the speaker symbol but tapping on it doesn't trigger anything. also changing any options in the control center -> onboard settings have no effects. logging in without keyboard activated and then control center -> onboard settings has no effects either.
I cannot "adb shell" due to lack of permissions
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
and I'm not owning a bluetooth keyboard. so right now I can only play minesweeper - oh wait, it's not installed...
is there any way to rotate the screen as its really annoying having it in portrait all the time

Yeah it is in the monitor options but it's worthless since Xorg crashes when changing the rotation
Great stuff!
I would remove the KDE plasma etc packages as that desktop seemed to unusable. (Due to broken hw acceleration?).
what's next?
Hi, I'm having a big trouble...
While I'm trying to do the installation (by adb shell or terminal emulator, both of them) and I enter the command posted in the OP it says:
127|[email protected]:/ # tar -C /data/media/0/multirom/roms -xpzvf /data/media/0/arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz
tmp-mksh: tar: not found
What can I do to resolve this error? I really would like to install it on my Nexus 7
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much!! That make tar to work!!
Gonna try archLinux ASAP!!
Thanks!
updates
Hi, great stuff!
After installing it, I tried to update arch (
Code:
sudo pacman -Syu
) but this resulted in a blank screen upon boot. I assume that this is due to updated packages overwriting parts of the OS that were installed manually, but I don't know what or where. Would you have any ideas of what packages would be responsible for this, so that I know not to upgrade them?
Thanks!

Make sure you ignore xorg and mesa stuff. Add
Code:
IgnorePkg = glu mesa mesa-dri mesa-libgl xorg-server-common xorg-server-devel xorg-fonts-misc xproto libdrm
IgnoreGroup = xorg
to /etc/pacman.conf.
The list probably contains some extra entries, but works for me
It took xda 2 years, but they finally did it.
In all seriousness, props to you. I've been waiting for this for along time.

Hi castrwilliam, would you mind sharing what step you went through to create arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz ?
Great work guys! I was looking for this for a really long time and i am writing this on my n7 with linux but i have a few questions:
1. is it possible to overclock(and how) because my n7 runs on 1.89ghz and 477mhz gpu in android with elementalx kernel and it would be nice to have some more power
2. can the screen be rotated so the hardware buttons are on top (i saw a post saying it chrashes but i cant even find the setting xD) because it would be alot easier to use the OTG cable
And thank you guys for making this happen, i love linux on the note 10.1 and im so glad to have this run it too(would be maaad if it can be overclocked )
Thank you for this wonderful package!
I recently updated all packages ) and iam trying to fix the issue without reinstall (challenge accepted)
It seems that the xorg-server 1.17 is the problem. I compiled. Freedreno and the freedreno mesa 10.3 and libdrn packages without success. The xserver is segfaulting when it loads libexa.so.
Now i try to downgrade to 1.16 . ive read that the xf86-video-freedreno-git package is not working with flo. Is that correct? Did youbuild this packages with modificationa?
I believe this is why i love arch. Its like lego for nerds or something

Having my favourite distro on my pocket is very exciting so thank you very much...
I have to carry only a development lamp server so using a pacman tip I revert to a base, base-devel system removing everything about xorg and DE.
Now I connect using ssh but I've noticed that the tablet screen is simply blank: no tty, no text console.
There is a way to have a text only console at boot to make a login (may be using an usb keyboard) when device is not connected?
Hello, I have some trouble when I boot.
config: rastapop 5.1.1 (AOSP based) + last multirom v32A + Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (Stock 5.1.1)
Installing archlinux correctly from the terminal emulator. Load it --> black screen (about 6seconds) --> Google Logo forever
Someone know what I can do for make it work ?
Cool I will give it a try.

I'm facing a problem almost like that.
Searched a bit, downloaded the kernel log and found that is a kernel panic caused by the modem crashing (Whenever a turn on the mobile data of the SIM card operator X) (No, doesn't matter if it is on slot 1 or 2)
So every time I reboot I gotta quickly disable the mobile data and disable the kernel panic so I can use the phone normally
With your super user terminal
try {
sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0
sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=0
sysctl -w kernel.panic=0
}

I'm disabling the mobile data just because it is causing the kernel panic
Soooooo, in order to enable the mobile data safely, I must disable the kernel panic (Which actually does the reboot)
To do so:
Install a terminal emulator (Play Store)
Open it, type su hit enter
Grant root
Type these lines in sequence and hit enter in every
sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0 hit enter
sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=0 hit enter
sysctl -w kernel.panic=0 hit enter
You don't need to reboot.

Much simpler method
Download L speed app from playstore
And complete the tutorial
In the tutorial tick advanced options
On the first page u will find disable kernel panic option enable it and done.
My wife's one year old Redmi 2 Prime seems to have developed the same problem as OP's. It reboots randomly. Tried different ROMs numerous times as well as Fastboot flashing clearing everything. Didn't help. Then found this thread and tried L Speed with "disable kernel panic" option enabled. Phone keeps rebooting.
Wife noticed several times that back of the phone got quite hot with no clear reason. She never plays games etc. Just browses the internet on wifi/4G and messaging. I wonder if it's a hardware problem and it's only good for trash bin. Or maybe something can be done with it.

I tried your method, but the problem still persists. Have flashed many ROMS but same prob.
This Redmi 2 is my daily driver and my only working phone. Pls help me.
Im currently on AEX 3.2
UPDATE: The terminal returned "not found", fixed by installing busybox.
I have entered the commands via adb shell,hope this works
UPDATE: Do I need to repeat same process everytime I reboot? Cos the phone rebooted again today
