Root [UPDATED 8/8/12]Breath of fresh air....an update

New build: quattrimus-VS920-cm9-test3.zip
md5=e296103d8885c841cf4734e2102bc57f

The radio/ril still does not work. GPS depends on the radio so it doesn't work either. Most everything else does.

Visible changes:

* PG's lights fix.
* Cameras work.
* Added bacon.

Under the hood:

* Switched product name to i_vzw for cameras.
* Reworked init scripts to match ics leak.
* Added a handful of proprietary services from ics leak.

Areas for devs to investigate:

/system/bin/qcks is segfaulting at startup. What is this and how does its failure impact operation?

/system/bin/qmiproxy is segfaulting. This is probably a ril/radio related service. It may be part of why the radio doesn't work.

/system/bin/ATFWD-daemon is trying to start a service called AtCmdFwd. This is apparently a proprietary service in the vendor's framework:

Code: 
$ strings framework/services.odex | grep AtCmdFwd
AtCmdFwd
AtCmdFwd Service
,Lcom/android/internal/atfwd/AtCmdFwdService;
starting AtCmdFwd Service
$ strings framework/framework2.odex | grep AtCmdFwd
AtCmdFwdService
AtCmdFwdService.java
IAtCmdFwd.java
,Lcom/android/internal/atfwd/AtCmdFwdService;
1Lcom/android/internal/atfwd/IAtCmdFwd$Stub$Proxy;
+Lcom/android/internal/atfwd/IAtCmdFwd$Stub;
&Lcom/android/internal/atfwd/IAtCmdFwd;
$com.android.internal.atfwd.IAtCmdFwd

This may be a part of why the radio doesn't work. "AtCmd" may refer to the radio/modem commands, eg. "AT command" (Hayes modem command set). The modem used in MSM devices doesn't use AT commands, but other devices do (like the OMAP3 based Marquee). Can anyone decompile com.android.internal.atfwd.* so it can be reconstructed and added to the build? That would be a huge help!

actually if you think about renaming the directories is more involved than that. Big thing is if we ever want to get CM behind it we may have to rename it again.

I do see what you're saying tho

Well, technically, the repos and directories don't need to be renamed. But in order for the product name to work, the target name must be i_vzw. Which means vendorsetup.sh needs to be changed, and the output directory will be i_vzw. So there's no point in keeping it VS920.

I've already got the relevant changes queued up for renaming the directories. I'll be doing the rename and pushing the changes shortly.
 
Fixed qcks, it wasn't able to read /proc/cmdline due to permissions. strace shows it accesses some modem firmware files. Unfortunately, that didn't fix ril.
 
Noticed qmiproxy wasn't starting/running, so started it manually on the adb shell. This seems to have allowed at least some rild functionality... the radio is now available and I got a nitz time packet.

Now I need to figure out why qmiproxy wasn't running to start with, and how to get service.
 
I honestly am starting to feel kinda bad about not being able to contribute to the progress.. I guess if anyone needs some security auditing lemme know..? Yo TDM you killin it wit the radio progress bro, keep that ish up

Ok noob question. Since you got the radio working for phone calls, does this then mean that CMDA and LTE are working as well? I know that they dont use the same network frequencies, but I was just wondering if data is working as well.

I've been waiting for phone and data to be working because I must have both of those because I use my spectrum to run my business and I can't be without phone, text, and data.

Thanks.

This is where it gets tricky. I don't use VZW so I can't test those things. I can only test on my carrier and account, which is CDMA 3G only. So I will need some assistance and feedback.

I can test for you. I have 4G in my town and can help out there. Send me a pm with the download or something.

Not until an official fully working build is ready. At least thats my opinion.

Agreed. Until the radio is working, it's not really worth it. People would just harass the devs relentlessly to find out when radios would be available. I'm not saying people in this thread would, but noobs and others that don't know any better would... we've all seen it happen.

changes:

* fixed radio, hopefully.
* partially fixed bluetooth which broke in test3.

Known issues:

* bluetooth audio routing seems to be broken.
* gps won't turn on.

Please test this and let me know what does and doesn't work. If nothing major is broken other than the above, it'll be a pretty solid alpha.

thanks you soooo much!
