I need a Linux/UNIX expert to help me with a backup script problem in CM10.1. I have set up a script to backup/restore one file and remove a whole bunch of system apps I neither need nor want. The file I'm trying to preserve is /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/wifi_pm (no extension). I made the script as directed and the removing works great but the backup/restore doesn't happen. I think (and I could be wrong) that the problem is with the permissions level of the file I'm trying to restore which is 311. The reason I think this is the problem is that when I try to manually edit the file in the ESv3 beta it fails to save it and when I try it in the ES it saves fine. The ESv3 beta doesn't have a way to alter permissions so it would seem to me that there's where the problem lies. Does anyone know if the script could be made to change the permissions on the file before attempting to restore it (if that's indeed the case)? For reference the backup script is here and you put it into /system/addon.d to make it work when you flash a nightly.

ExcessBLarg! posted:That's not really a file, but an exported kernel module parameter. The issue is that it's "content" (parameter value) is ephemeral anyways and will reset on reboot.  Holy poo poo, it does reset on boot, I guess it's time to reinstall the high performance wifi widget. I appreciate the explanation, thanks.

Tunga posted:I flashed Franco kernel to my N7 and wow, what a lovely outcome. Mobile signal is dead, completely. Not just data, the whole signal. And all games are jittery lagfests. It's pretty weird because on my N4 his kernel is way better than stock. Qh well, back to the factory image. Franco's kernels aren't good for gaming from what I've read. Quick question: Does anyone know what exactly a tool chain is? and what Linaro is? Like when roms/kernels advertise linaro. Does it actually mean anything or is it one of those buzzwords people throw around.

So theoretically things that are compiled using the linaro tool chain should be faster, but is it something noticeable in real world usage?

The Linaro folks would probably convince you it's faster. My opinion is that, if it was really worth it, then AOSP would've included them by now.

In other Evo 3D questions, I'm running CM10 on mine, with great success until I woke up this morning to "Storage Space Running Out." Seems off considering I've got 230MB in apps and app data on a 1.1GB partition, and it was claiming I only had 23MB free. Clearing about 150MB of data and cache moved that all the way to 33MB free. Then my system froze, I restarted, and it's showing 28. Wtc. Any ideas/what can I do?

Use an RUU http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Shooter To use an RUU via HBOOT, grab the ZIP version of 2.17 or if you want to take the slightly easier route and do it from a Windows PC, grab the EXE version. RUU's will give the phone a complete reimage to factory state.

Here's the link to the EXE version. It should contain a step-by-step guide to walk you through reflashing the phone. http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...3304_signed.exe However, since you've probably unlocked your bootloader, you'll have to connect it to a PC with fastboot and then perform 'fastoot oem lock' on it so it'll take the RUU

I rewiped everything (including formatting /system and /data, which I didn't do before) and put on the latest nightly of CM10.1 plus GApps and got the same problem: crashes of com.google.process.gapps and Settings > Developer Options > Launch Tools > Google Login Service and Sync Tester both cause Settings to FC. Can anyone with a Maguro running CM10.1 verify that those two options in Launch Tools cause a FC? That's a package unique to the Maguro.

Verizon GNEX checking in, I haven't looked at this thread in months, since I did a CM10 nightly upgrade in the end of October. It was super stable so I was hesitant to mess with it but got bored and went with a recent nightly and put on 10.1. Lots of nice new features, new GApps especially. Runs decently smooth and stable so far. I'm running Francokernel, any other recommendations on the kernel? I could only install the last nightly from the Franco app, not a stable version-- I don't know which one runs the best for it.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Because some apps that write to internal storage use "/sdcard", others use "/mnt/sdcard", others yet may use "/storage/sdcard0", and Android has to maintain all of them for backwards compatibility. I will leave it alone, however will continue being a little bit annoyed about the mess apps make when creating directories willy nilly. I wish there would be one place for app related data and things looked nice and organised in a file manager.

FWIW gapps 20121212 is pretty broken. Some of the apks are build wrong as anything in the "res/raw/" directory needs to be stored uncompress so they can be mmap'd straight from the apk. An example is QuickSearchBox.apk, which, if you try to use "Voice Search" will crash on you since it can't open "res/raw/open.wav". Voice Dialer is also hosed, although I'm not certain if it's the same reason. That said, the problems go away if you download Play Store updates for any of the broken apks, since the Store versions will be used instead. Which is why folks haven't necessarily noticed the issues except on fresh installs. Not sure if it's related to Maguro problems, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I just got a repaired Nexus 4 back from LG. The model number says "Full JellyBean on Mako." The Build Number is "full_mako-userdebug 4.2 LGEP19 eng.seungju24.choi.20121114.105751 test-keys" Obviously they screwed up and didn't flash the phone back to stock before shipping it back to me. It generally works but it's slow, glitchy, and isn't what I bought from Google. I have never rooted a phone before and went with the Nexus 4 in hopes that I wouldn't have to learn what XDA makes out to be a tough process. They say it's super easy for Nexus owners, but then link to different programs and drivers and reference command line prompts and I would prefer not to bumble around for 2 hours. Would any of you kind folks be able to relay some simple, "idiot's guide" instructions on exactly what I'm supposed to be doing?

I remember a custom recovery had an option to mount storage to USB while in recovery a while ago; I don't think it's possible with CWM Touch recovery, but is it possible with TWRP? This is very useful for when I remember to add one more thing to flash only after doing a full wipe.

SeaborneClink posted:Here is 4.2 In case you need more instructions than this, and want to learn something in the process... So the good news is that you have a Nexus device, which means it is super easy to flash a ROM to it (and also to root and other stuff but you don't care about that right now). The steps required are: 1) Unlock the bootloader 2) Flash the stock ROM 3) Relock the bootloader (optional). There are two main ways to achieve these steps. The first is to use one of several "one-click" tools, such as the one linked above. Those work okay, mostly, and obfuscate the details from you. When they work they are nice and save you having to know what you are doing. When they fail they are frustrating because you have no idea why they aren't working. The second option is the manual method. This really isn't as scary as some places make it sound and it also gives you a better understanding of what you are doing and what else is possible. I keep meaning to get around to writing a really good guide to this, with screenshots, because it comes up a lot and I'm yet to find any guide that gets it across in a clear and simple way. I'm not joking when I say that the most difficult part is getting the right USB driver to install. Going to copy this part from a previous post: Tunga posted:Install the Android-SDK from here. You'll end up with a Window asking which components to install, you'll need Platform Tools and the Google USB Driver (under Extras), ignore everything else. Grab that factory image that someone linked, in that zip there should be a .img file with JOP40D in the name. It'll be biggish too. That's the ROM that you need in the second step below so put it somewhere with an easy path (or throw it directly into platform-tools folder). Now unlock: code:Now flash: code:code:Ask if you get stuck with anything. Like I said, the toolkits work too but I'm on a mission to educate people about how easy this stuff is. If you use a Linux box you don't even need to set the driver up and it's genuinely like a two minute job.

I cleared cache and data in the browser and all seems well after a day of heavy use. Now if only CM10.1 would start filling in the features.
