Got it working: I first installed this updated, then I installed the update wifi_update-high.zip from polymod and then BT-fix from polymod.
And now it's working fine
Thank you so much for the information, i was wondering how to enable the wifi in mssmison's build even i update the wifi, it just can't scan the network after turning on the wifi, really hope this works! thank you so much for your sharing again!

You install "mssmison`s eclair v7", "polymod BT Update" and "wifi_update-high" and have working WiFi?
It really works!!!!

If you don't update poly's update file, then you just end it up with no scan for network, that's what happened to me when I first install mmsmison's v7 and the wifi update he provides. Now if you follow this way, you can enable the wifi: 1. install the v7; 2. update the wifi update provided by mmsmison; 3. install poly's bt update (I don't how this work for BT, but the files inside are wifi setting); 4. finally install poly's wifi power update (I follow the other guy and choose high power wifi). That works for me and should work for you. If you don't want to update so many times, you can copy and replace all the files in update.tar into install.tar in the same sequence so that you only need to install the build once without any update. That's how I did the last time. Hope this can solve your problem.
Could somebody please post the polymod bt-fix file? I have searched everywhere and it appears to be down - even on the poly site.

Heya,
Unfortunately android, to be precisely wpa_supplicant does not show ad-hoc networks, the following modified wpa_supplicant shows them, haven't seen it before so I posted it .
all credits go to szym (http://szym.net/android/adhoc-wpa-supp.html)
The patch below modifies the wpa_supplicant code in the external/wpa_supplicant AOSP repo to make ad-hoc networks appear as regular APs with a (*) prefix.
The patch:
* removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,
* masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix
* sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS
* permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid

patch: http://szym.net/android/wpa_supplicant-ibss.patch
The only thing I did was to apply the patch compile it for froyo and supply a signed update zip with the modified wpa_supplicant, work was done by szym.
Flash the attached wpa_adhoc-signed.zip in recovery and your done .
a3e00f284ddff04804ba8d59364712b1 wpa_adhoc-signed.zip (v0.5.11)
Works with:
- Froyo/Eclair roms on HTC Hero (confirmed)
- roms using wpa_supplicant v0.5.x
Attention:
- It _seems_ like some rom using wpa_supplicant v0.6.x do not work! take care (e.g HTC Desire). Please report back.
you may check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7716862&postcount=24
Always do a nandroid backup!!
Downloaded and will have a try. It will be great if it works. Thanks.
The hero can detect the ad-hoc mode with a (*)before the name. It can be connected but can't access the internet. My laptop can access internet through this ad-hoc wifi. Didn't know why?
It works! Beautiful. I used my old G1 to make an ad-hoc wireless network and my Desire saw it right away and connected without any problem. See my signature for the ROM I'm using (if it really matters).
Would anyone provide "ad-hoc support in wep" in a signed update zip? Thanks.

it is already look at the first post.
The patch didn't work for me at first. I got "Error" while trying to turn my wi-fi on.
But when I restored the original /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini and /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf back in the phone, it started detecting ad-hoc networks.
So the patch worked after all.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
Did not work after I rebooted my phone.

Hi all, I just got my SGS yesterday. How can I flash this patch. I renamed file to update.zip, downloaded into my SGS /sdcard, and used ABD to install the update.zip. However it gave me a waring 'Installation Aborted'' . I may just doing something wrong here. ...any suggestion? Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot, works on Magic 32b but only for non password protected connections
Able to see the connections on Desire, but unable to connect, gets stuck on Obtaining IP adress.....
Running on Cyanogen 6.0.0 RC1 on Magic, and LeeDroid 1.8c on Desire
will this work on a stock rooted 2.1 Vibrant??
Just flash via ROM Manager?
Did the update and now my wifi wont turn on. You can actually watch it on settings screen turn and off. It is stuck in this loop and eventually comes up with a force close!
Anyone have any ideas?
So will this let me ad-hoc to my netbook which is also wfi-tethered to the phone?
the update zip is only for froyo!!

I have Nexus one with cyanogen 6.0 RC3 installed on it.
I have flashed this zip file but my phone still doesn't see the adhoc network on my laptop. i don't know if there is a fault in my PC settings or this is a compatibility issue for cyanogen. can anyone please shed light on my situation? it is very important for me.
that's great!! i Have a nexus one with android 2.2 FRF91 and it worked for me too. i just flashed the zip from the recovery. tnz a lot man, i've been waiting for this
@blackplatypus - will this work with unrooted HTC Desire froyo?
Do I need to do anything special with the file wpa_adhoc-signed.zip other than renaming it to update.zip and flashing in recovery?
I'm getting verification failed message

1) do not overclock
2) do not tamper with the phone immediately after boot, leave it alone for a while (30 secs, 1 min)
3) do not fill the desktop with widgets, they eat lots of resources
If none of these works, while still NOT overclocking, delete data.img file inside andboot folder and start from scratch.
Cheers.
Pretty strange, since I have a Sprint TP2 and Wifi works perfectly.
You might want to start by renaming your data.img to something else to back it up, and then starting up. If after you boot Wifi works, then you know something is messed up in your data.img. Otherwise, you know it's something else and you don't need to wipe out your data.img.
Wifi can also easily get bungled if you update your kernel and don't update your modules file.
The kernel (zImage) and modules (modules-xxxx.tar.gz) go hand-in-hand, and they MUST be updated together.
1. Formatted SD Card with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
2. Deleted exchange inbox folder in SD Card (I have no idea why the formatting does not wipe it clean)
3. copied ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210.cab to root of SD Card
4. Ran cab from explorer
Ran ProjectAndroid from WM
Ran Update

That is the one I use on my sprint tp2. Works awesome. I can even wifi tether. Did you download the one at the bottom of the page from Nov. 22?

I hard booted my TP2 to factory settings, used the .rar files instead of the .cab...
getting the same message "Unable to scan for networks".
Yes, I am getting the same error when I try to turn on wifi in settings.
The instructions in xda is a bit misleading for .rar
The steps say
1. Unzip
2. Copy contents of .Rar to the ROOT of your SD card
When you unzip, the content is in folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.112210" sub-folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX"
The instruction should say, "Copy contents of "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX" to the root of SD card.
Please correct me if I am wrong. In any case, my wifi still does not work.
Have you tried updating manually? Also, you should get an 'andboot' folder if you go into that XXxxXX folder.
I also found a mistake with Reef's build... I asked him to update it. Basically he's not using a signed FRX03 image... I sent him a new bundle, doesn't look like he's updated it yet tho...
What I'd recommend in the meantime is to update this build manually. Download a new system.ext2, new kernel (zImage/modules - they go together!) and rootfs.
You can find all of those updates at http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page

!!This is ONLY for Elocity A7 PLUS! (model with 1024x600 resolution)
This Mod is based on Elocity Stock with additions from Nvidia SDK, to make a better functioning stock rom with google apps.
You can also follow updates on my homepage at Dexter's mods
Installation Instructions:
ALWAYS HAVE CHARGER CONNECTED WHEN UPDATING A FIRMWARE
You can download from here MD5SUM: 7d69789e85e946c7f456c8f8f455a352
It will require Wipe/factory reset as well. as reports on the update seems to report some problems if not, so its your ownproblem if it does FC alot, if you do not wipe
Install using recovery menu.
copy the file to the root of your sdcard and rename to Update.zip.
Enter "Recovery menu" by pressing power for 2seconds, release
then hold power button until "hold power 5sec...." appear and wait until it says booting recovery kernel..and release power button.
Press "HOME" button to see menu, use SEARCH/BACK button to navigate.
select "Wipe/factory reset" - press MENU key to activate
then select "apply sdcard:update.zip" - press MENU to activate
after the small install process - press "reboot" to finalize and wait for the upgrade to take place on second screen that appear.
ISSUES
- Screen brightness cannot change (Settings crash when selected)
- Volume in status bar not included (using old A7 mod here, ill figure a solution out, maybe app from Market?)
KERNEL USED IS STOCK ROM EDITION, SINCE SOURCE IS NOT RELEASED
CHANGELOG
v1.00
- Initial release
- includes a fixed RECOVERY , which allow you to do a proper WIPE (Factory reset)
- DSP audio manager
- rotation fix for some games
- all google apps functionality with calendar and email and sync
- flash player 10.3 included (full embedded media support) , if you want to upgrade, please uninstall the old one first.
- still no "move 2 sdcard" (needs different release 2.3.6 to support it and new kernel)
- no longer uses /storage as sdcard location.
/mnt/sdcard is now internal storage,
AND
/mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk is external sdcard location.- root enabled (Superuser is used here)
- wma/wmv media support
THANKS to all who donated previously and up to now! its appreciated, and shows that people like the extras added...
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if you brick your tablet..
PS: you can ALWAYS use the elocity Recovery from A7 install instructions here
If you like it press "THANKS"

the SOD issue was a well known problem of Tegra2 in its early days. problem with this tablet is that it needs a new kernel update and i do not see that one coming to solve SOD problems (from the past).
strangely the first A7 did not have it,while my Folio100 suffered badly from SOD with the early kernels.
so its known, but not being fixed i guess.
actually Nvidia wrote on their webpage that this hardware had the problem on some tablet could be awakened again by pushing out the sdcard? maybe an idea?

we need a kernel, the function required for installing to sdcard (loopback device) is not compiled into the kernel. so its not working for any rom.
i made CM7 + HC3.0(from A7Comb) working, but without the function from the kernel, those are not worth using. so im holding back those for a release until a solution is found.

you can find the CyanogenModPlus edition now using link in post to download.
its beta but until a kernel is ready, we have to live with minors. as its work quite well.
remember to have embedded video working, install the CF3D plugin from Market (ChainFire 3d) and reboot, and you can see embedded video quite fine on cyanogenmod too.
Hey Dexter_nlb,
This seems to be the best rom available for this tablet - its more stable then the stock roms and offers some improvements and speed overall making it the best so far.
I just have one problem with it that you might be able to help out with:
I have just noticed that your ROM is missing the ability to change the WIFI Sleep Policy. Its set for ON by default - but cannot be turned off. This is a big problem as WIFI disconnects every time the screen turns off. It then takes over 30sec to re-connect (depending on wifi network) and any programs open that require a connection stop responding or start to force close.
I use my Tablet as a controller for my home theater and because of this I cant use this great rom. I cant use the stock rom either as The stock rom does not work with my home theater apps.
I was wondering if you could fix this easily or could show me how - EG: Build.prop string??? or other mod? - port settings.apk or wifi related libs from std rom?
I just need the WIFI to stay on.
Thanks in advance.

you might be able to download an app from Market that solves it?
Advanced WIFI LOCK (Free edition)
it might help.
otherwise only way around is going into Development settings, and chose "stay awake"?
anyways, the wifi issue is more common being a kernel issue, which in the early nvidia for these tablets had a deep sleep issue, which also killed wifi signal. its only solved by a full kernel upgrade to android 3.x (2.6.36.x or higher) which i have no good chance of doing completely.
to get better support, the CyanogenModPlus rom is getting better now, since kernel is changing with OC support and better market install support as well.
but thats probably the best this can offer for now.

It is not by me... credit should be given to devs (modpunk)......

Thanks so much for this!
I am also running CM7 on the Wildfire S (Build 7 March). The GPS works, but it seems to take a lot of time to lock into a position. Sometime son Google Maps you can see it go crazy and move you all around until it pinpoints your exact location.
I have looked at the link you posted but, and apologies for this, don't really know how to execute the code. I am quite new on this so should I use the terminal on my phone or run it from the ADP teminal?
If so, could you please add the steps necessary so newbies like me can get it to work?
Thanks so much for figuring out this one out!

your solution is not working for me, however standart solution posted here does the job
UPDATE: THIS FIX DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. It does sometimes but most of the times it seems to put me in the middle of the UK f I turn the GPS on and off. I then have to run the GPS Status App to get a good location. I cannot recommend anybody to follow these instructions.
Hello boss!
Indeed, I followed the link and downloaded the ZIP file. Just install it from the recovery program and see your GPS flight! I also found interesting installing the GPS utility mentioned on the post.
Thanks for your help guys,

Gps fixed!!! (for real)
I found an actual CM7 fix that actually works... well on my HTC Wildfire S anyways
What I did is download the cm-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip (the top one) from http://code.google.com/p/cm7-wildfire-s/downloads/list onto the PC
Then download the JoyFireS ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665529
Then I unzipped both ROMs into seperate folders
Then because they fixed the GPS configuration files in the JoyFireS ROM I then used the windows search to search out all the GPS files and used them to replace the ones in the CM7 zip in their respective directories (and there's also a location one under one of the GPS files, it says location on it)
Then I Rezipped it and installed it using Clockworkmod Recovery
Then to be sure i installed the Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.1 (the top one) on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132412 via clockworkmod as well... I think it works without it but I like a faster GPS Fix
Then I enjoyed a fixed GPS (and a sense of achievement) :victory:...
I will attach the finished zip when I can figure out how i can do it... I'm a noob at this and I don't know how to post this up, in the mean time you have to go the hard yards...
Credit to the people that made the CM7 zip, the JoyFireS zip and the GPS Fix Zip... I am honestly a noob at this and I'm surprised this works... well for me anyways
Just note that while indoors the GPS is much less accurate and that it tends fix on a false location, best use outdoors only
I am on FlexReaper, changed my server to Austria via FastGPS, using WiFi, have a clear view to the sky for more than 25min....I have tried everything!
The saddest thing is that my A100 does not see even a single satellite! Is there a manual way to reinstall the GPSs driver or check if it is faulty?
Please help me, I am desperate!
You should have posted this in the FlexReaper thread it is one thread above. Or the general section.

Please help me, I am desperate!

Have you tried the GPS fix? I had to reinstall it manually after I did a reset. it's just an lto.dat file that goes into /data/gps IIRC. Also GPS status is an app that is included with Flexreaper it can be useful to see what is going on with your GPS reception.
This link has the info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636757
and has eww245 said if you are able to you should post this kind of stuff into the Flexreaper thread.
Sorry for the wrong place! Could you remove or move it?
As I have already installed RF1 and the patch is included then I have no luck with it as well. Could you please tell me how to manually do it? There is nothing clear in the theme you have posted and I am NO pro!
Thank you
I have downloaded first the patch but it said errr already patched? Then I have downloaded and copied the lto.dat file.
Still NOT even a single satelite!
Should I make resets,formats?

Did you reboot the device after putting the ito.dat file into /data/gps? Mine went from almost never getting a sync up when using Navigator app to always working(still takes a min or two when I first enable GPS) but then it works like a charm. In fact the battery on my old Nuvi w200 finally gave out on me so I'm using my tablet as navigator all the time now.( still need to find/make a good mount for it) and does GPS status show any satalites? Also GPS Status(the app) also has some features inside the menu that will reset some stuff that might help. GL wish I had more things to suggest. If non of this works I'm guessing you may have a harware issue with your GPS, but I don't have enough info to be sure of that.
Is "Use Internal GPS" selected under "Settings > Location services"? I don't know how, but last time I flashed a rom it wasn't selected, nothing was, so when I tried to use the GPS it would obviously fail.
Don't know how common that is, but sometimes stupid little things like that can give us the worst headaches.

Sure, What I did was look inside /data/gps on the tablet and I didnt see ito.dat. So I extracted the ito.dat out of the Flexreaper ROM .zip. You will find the file inside data/gps within the .zip file also. Take this file and copy it to /data/gps on the tablet. This can be done via root explorer, script manager etc, or via a terminal.
Assuming you extract the ito.zip from the .zip and place it into a micro sdcard and the root of the card, the following command would work to copy it via terminal emulator.
su
cp /mnt/external_sd/ito.dat /data/gps/ito.dat
It may or may not fix what ever issue you are having but it's worth a try and easy enough to do.
If you are on latest flex-A100-reaper , type in terminal.
Su (enter) gps-update( enter) and this will update your lto file for gps.
Normally it is done automaticly.
But all this information is in OP of flrexreaper.
Development?

If this does not help, try the following:
1. Install Terminal emulator for tablet
2. Turn off the GPS on the tablet: Settings -> Location services -> GPS satellite - uncheck
3. In the terminal the following commands:
Code:
su
echo 254 >/sys/EcControl/GPSPower
4. Turn on the GPS, Google's location service and WiFi on the tablet. Wait 5-10 minutes for the GPS data updates on the tablet (most likely it will be much faster).
Following these operations my tablet finds satellites within 10 seconds after turning on.
