Real quick, what are the known issues with viperdink's kk_vd_final rom. Camera, wifi, etc.?
Click to expand...

Well...
Wifi,Bluetooth,signal,sounds,gaaps
All work great!
Camera works for those with old firmware, like myself,,,
For example """ For many of u with MPCS ...firmware v10e camera works... the changes of fw began with v10i/12b depending on manufacturing date.
For T.mo firmware d505.10a camera works ... changes started on 10a-1 n 2 depending on manufacturing dates.
Im not talking about The Actual Android.Os or KDz
but the hardware itself... so if we want the camera to work a Dev either has to build a Rom for each individual firmware (HW manufacturer) or digging into all sources n make the right merging of all files to b able to accomplish one full Rom (Lots of work) so let just b patients n hope for someone with the right time to get on-board n make it happen,,,
So before flashing make sure you read,,, and PLEAS DO A BACKUP,,, :confused::confused::eek:

Hi, @viperdink, @Krlypumaa
Thanks for bringing all the pieces together and deliver this rom. Everything is great on my phone, including the back cam.

Just one thing: the symlinks in /system/xbin/ are all broken. I tried installing new busybox but it would not fix them. For example, I need run "telnetd", but the shell always says "??Link: /system/xbin/busybox". I had to delete all the links manually and reinstall busybox to get telnetd working.

I'm using KK_VD_Final.zip. Busybox was installed in "/system/xbin/" fine, but I got problem when running telnetd/tftpd/tftp/...

Can you try telnetd?

Another thing about busybox. There is also a symlink in /sbin named "busybox" pointed to "/sbin/recovery", therefore "/sbin/recovery" has high priority than "/system/xbin/busybox". However "recovery" misses a lot of functionality. Maybe we should remove that /sbin/busybox symlink in the kernel ramfs.

Ok... I will try... PM Viperdink with all the needsvto cover... So newbies won't get statically with heavyweight info. :thumbup:;):cool:


Another thing... What exactly are u trying to run live ..
 
@@@ ccaapton
su

busybox telnetd -l /system/bin/sh

Now on your client machhine side type command as follows:

adb forward tcp:6000 tcp:23

telnet 127.0.0.1 6000

~~there you go

Below are 3 cases on my phone:
1. "busybox telnetd -l /system/bin/sh", error: "telnetd: applet not found"
2. "telnetd -l /system/bin/sh", error:"??Link: /system/xbin/busybox"
3. "/system/xbin/busybox telnetd -l /system/bin/sh". Works.

When I say the color I mean the attached graph.
Can you post the output of this command "echo $PATH"?

1). First u need SQlite editor pro.
*open sqlite grant root
* on the app tap look for system storage app click on it.
* click on settings.db
* click on global
* look for tether_dun_required click on it
*On the top its likeva pencil tap click on it
* Change value from 1 to 0
*Close app

2). Now go to Tethering/Network settings
Change your settings how ever you like
Make sure you have it as
*security = WPA PSK
*maximum connection = 8
* Broadcast channel = Auto select
* Save
Close settings
*Toggle Hotspot and wait for it to show
Connect

I was just about to update my post but was a little too late lol. I just did a simple restart and bam it works. Over time I've learned that that's the best way to fix weird problems like this

Edit: If anybody else has an issue with the tethering looping on and off... It probably means you have your security set as something other than WPA-PSK (default is WPA2-PSK I think)

Security settings should be " WPA-PSK " for it to work! :thumbup::D
