Root CM10 progress Update Thread

cm10.1 changed the way sd cards mount. so storage is the correct place. good try though

the issue from what ive been able to gather has something to do with the init binary being from cm10 though i could be wrong. the switch over should be simple. a few path edits a couple permission differences and everything else seemed to take to it quite easily but the ics based zte devices with their screwed up kernels just dont work like they should at boot
So its good that we all know that the problem lies somewhere in the init binary so it should be easier to fix. I know for sure the vold.fstab is correct. I've also heard that some devices with cm10.1 had a problem with the init binary where the sdcard storage was put in some "0" folder. I don't know if that will be the same for the avid, but if so, I think it needs to be renamed and/or moved to its proper place in the phone's filesystem. Hopefully we'll fix this issue soon

if the vold.fstab says /mnt/sdcard then its wrong. /storage/sdcard0 is correct or at least /storage/ something. cant mount to /mnt anymore. and the problem isnt the init binary its the kernel really, its incompatible with the cm10.1 init binary and i have no clue how to fix it
 
look it up, android 4.2 changed the way sd cards work, it must all be set to storage now and there is a special procedure that mounts it as a temp fs and lets zygote control access. completely screws us

Quick question for you people who are smarter than me. I'm usually pretty good at figuring all this out but I'm stuck. Here's my problem... for the MMS fix I did everything needed to be done. Extract, copy, change permissions, reboot etc. MMS works fine now but every time I try to go into the messaging app settings I get force close. Something like (unfortunately messaging has stopped...) tried to wipe everything and reinstall cm10 and do the whole thing over with same result. Anyone else have this problem? And if so is there a fix for it. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. Looking forward to what's next

Hey everyone, just checking up on the thread, and to totlth jeeze that sucks, I once spilled hot cocoa on my old PC... needless to say I no longer have that laptop lol I hope you can get it back to working condition or a backup PC for cheap so your not setback too much... thanks for all the work your doing for us, cm10 is still my daily driver to this day, its working quite well and I'm happy with it
 
Is there anyway to get the power widget for the flashlight to work? I thought it worked on one of the first testers but not now
 
Here is lastest tester. It has fixes for bt and gps. I havent included the mms fix in this build as it gets broke with wifi, and the video function of camera doesnt work. I'm still actively bug hunting/fixing along with dadcup, I had some pc then internet troubles lately but I've got it sorted now. I appreciate everyones patience and willingness to test and post results here. Y'all are the reason that I think we have one of the most productive forums on here. Thanks again and keep it up.
Always Stay Groovy

download : cm10tester11.zip

Big thanks to dadcup for finding all these bug fixes.
And, iof anyone is interested, the cm10 repo on github has been updated to build this latest tester.


This is totlth newest tester

BT works for sending and receiving files, and it will connect to my car, but it will not to play music. In fact you have to diconect BT and reboot to play music again. Not sure if anyone has had this problem or if anyone knows of a fix. I have tried several music apps and the same thing happens. Thank you for everything. Cm10 makes this phone 10 times better than stock, even with the BT problem.
 
can someone please walk me through the mms fix for cm10 please, im new to this and pretty good with everything except this...any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys
 
1. If you have not done so, download the MMS fix zip
2. Extract the MMS.zip using your favorite root file manager.
3. Copy the extracted file. (MMS.apk)
4. Next get to the system app folder. Path: / system/app.
5. Then paste the mms.apk You copied in the app folded. It will say something like OVERIDE file with the same name, click yes
6. After that reboot and you will have working MMS.
7. FYI. Settings will force close after doing this so I would adjust the settings in the messaging app before doing this.

thank you.....is there any certain way i should set the settings beforehand? or will they work as they are right now?
 
one more question sorry guys, but other than the video camera bug which doesnt matter to me and the settings issue what else is there for bugs with this rom?

If you use a secondary calling app like Viber, it wont work. But if you dont then this wont be an issue, then there are some minor issue's like the button lighting not working unless you change brightness and it'll work until you lock your phone again then you have to re-do it. Mostly all of the bugs are listed here.
