Is there any possibility we could get Apollo apk for the aokp rom? I really like it from cn9 bit its not in the app store so I can't get it for aokp40

Extract it from the cm9 room and side load it. If that doesn't work let me know.

BTW the proper thread for this discussion would be the quattrimus thread.

No its 10.0. The qcom hardware changes in 10.1 will take some time to get working maybe a couple weeks.

Alright, we will have to make do with the awesomeness of your JB build and your other JB build until you finish with your, well... other other JB build :)

Huzzah! Got phone and 4G working on CM10. :D

Problem was my own making, I rearranged the init rc-files and qmuxd wasn't starting because init.qcom.sh wasn't being called. Doh!

I have a bunch of telephony changes in my tree that I did this morning to match the CM9 RIL. I'll back that up and retry with the CM10 RIL, hopefully that will also work.

I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday we should have CM10 and AOKP41 ROMs.

Just wondering - is MMS sending working? Is it reading the MDN correctly or is that a different item on the todo list? If this is rude to ask please let me know...
 
I'm interested to know why data-based Google location isn't working. I know aokp isn't using vz location (which is a pain for when you turn off wifi as a matter of course), but Google location generally finds me with data location for apps like weather apps.

GPS on CM9 doesn't work because the files needed are not all there. Once you start placing the files in, you start getting errors left and right. Wifi location works because at one point you (or someone else) successfully told google where that Wifi AP was in relation to the world and now it knows where you are.

Wi-Fi positioning system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As for google apps finding you, that can be a simple trace of your IP. If you know someone's IP, you can reliably track them down to within a 20mile radius of the city they are in, which is close enough to weather info.
 
@Neph: investigating gsm capabilities. I put my straight talk att sim into my old spectrum and installed JB. It's still connecting to my old VM account of course, from the nv settings. Any idea how I might pretend I'm in Europe and get it to use the sim instead?

Step 15 under "custom rom" what you need. You'll also need to put the GSM APN list in, but that shouldn't be an issue.

The line that reads as:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

will probably need to be
ro.qcom.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

I know I played around with it a bit back when we were first trying to get data and it opened up new options in CM9 under where we play with network settings.

Tried this with my ST/ATT sim inserted. Got a black screen, no boot anim. Logcat below. Those few repeating lines keep going indefinitely at a pretty good clip, at least 100/sec. Strange and insane as it may sound, these prop changes trigger the adreno/genlock errors. I rebooted 3 times with the same result. Then I restored the original build.prop and the phone booted right up. WTF?!?!?

okay it wasn't the build.prop contents, it was the build.prop mode. When you push a file with adb it gets mode 0666. That is what triggered the freaky adreno/genlock issue. Still doesn't change the level of WTF involved though...
 
I didn't get any noticeable changes when setting those properties so I did a data wipe.

At first boot, the phone process crashed and then I got a dialog saying my sim was removed and forced me to reboot. Then I got through the setup process, but still no apn menu in mobile network settings. Do I need Stk.apk for that?

Oh, and the radio log initially shows:


I/PHONE ( 800): Network Mode set to 3
I/PHONE ( 800): Cdma Subscription set to 0
I/PHONE ( 800): RILClassname is LGEQualcommUiccRIL
D/RILJ ( 800): RIL(context, preferredNetworkType=3 cdmaSubscription=0)
D/RILJ ( 800): Starting RILReceiver
I/PHONE ( 800): Creating GSMPhone

But then the iccIO requests fail and then:


D/RILB ( 800): getLteOnCdmaMode=0 curVal=0 product_type='' lteOnCdmaProductType=''
D/PHONE ( 800): [PhoneProxy] Switching Voice Phone : GSM >>> CDMA
D/PHONE ( 800): [PhoneProxy] Disposing old phone..

And finally:

D/RIL_UiccController( 800): New phone type is CDMAPhone

Hey guys, in a week or so I am going to India for 3 weeks and have a Vodafone sim (VZW's gsm partner). I am bringing my Specturm, even if it doesn't work. Please let me know if you need any help testing. I will have my laptop (windows) and internet access, but can install linux if that is a must

I would not be surprised if something in the radio files themselves is preventing us from going true GSM on this. I will definitely put it on my list of things to read up on. Qcom is fairly good and hiding what they don't want seen.

Thanks. I'm mostly playing with it for vj950 but I'm sure at least a few others would use it.

That makes the most sense, since I don't believe this phone was designed/planned for global use. I think it was rumored with the ICS release, but it was never intended to be a dual phone, so LG probably restricted the capabilities for that very reason.
 
I don't want to sound flippant or offend, but frankly, enabling GSM on this device, which was never intended to BE a GSM device, seems like a distraction for devs from other more pressing matters with the roms in development.
In my past with the D2G, we worked to get the roms 100% before we tackled the global switch... and that was a global phone, so there was an expectation of that functionality. On ours, that seems like a bonus perk that should be added later.

I'm not sure if lg officially announced it or advertised it as such, but I do know for a fact that people who reviewed the spec always said it was a global phone. I watched a bunch of reviews on youtube before I bought mine and if I remember correctly they most all brought that up. So someone definitely was pushing the idea that it's a global phone.
 
Oh, I know the conversation about being a global pphone was out there, but it wasn't advertised as such, like the Droid 2 Global was. That's my point. If this was advertised as one and there was the expectation of GSM capabilities, I could see more effort put into it from the start, but it was never advertised as one, so it seems to me the wonky data and GPS issues take precedent over a perk of getting to use GSM.

Just my 2 pennies. :)
 
To that point, when I called VZW month and a half before ICS dropped, to "unlock" the SIM for global capabilities (my trick to find the information about when ICS will be released) the tech support told me that once a version 4 OS is released, the phone will be a global phone. Of course he didn't tell me when version 4 OS (ICS) will be released.
