[Q] Xperia Arc | CM9.0 | FXP106| Can't add any APN's

Hello,
I flashed my Arc with baseband 62 on the latest CM 9.0 FXP106. I'm pretty satisfied so far. The only thing that bugs me is that it seems that I can't add any APN's. That means if I want to add a new APN and I want to save it, it won't let me do it.
I tried backing it up with APNsBU (ROOT) -> didn't work
Hard reset -> didn't work
Fixing permissions in ROM Manager -> didn't work
Thanks for your help!

1.) Have you heard of posting in the relevant thread?
2.) It's a known bug. Read before post and use the search!

Thanks for your reply though.

Bin4ary posted a probably way to fix it, check out CM9's thread for more information.
Bin4ry said:
From what i can tell now the problem is that in CM9 we are using the ICS (ofc ) RIL-structure. There are already some oldRil features implemented, but this features are mainly for phones which use standard communications. We are having this weird Qualcomm RIL which acts different. For example we have no Status which tells System that SIM is ready, this status is piggybacked for us in another call.
On the other side we SE implemented some more messages for additional informations. For example: OperatorInfo is not standard one, it has one more entry.
So i need to go through the lines and check we're i can implement the different structure well without breaking other devices. Maybe i am able to trigger all needed parcel reads from RIL, maybe not. The main difference is lying in some other files which was still working in GB RIL structure.
Please wait for next week when i am able to work again on this issue. It's annoying me too
No. I will work on GSM data. Jerpelea will fix this problem ASAP.
Since we are 2 people working on this CM9 for the SE phones we can split the work.
And it is always better to work on 1 problem after another.
You see, 2 people -> 2 Todo lists

Weekly ICS ROM Updates

Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.

I like the idea

+1 to this idea!!

There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.

Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????

It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.

Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

libhtc_ril.so segfaults

Here is what I learned about libhtc_ril.so.
CM7 and my CM9 port (up till now) use a libhtc_ril.so from liberty. On CM9 it looks like this library is responsible for the battery drain as everything is fine in airplane mode.
So I've started to copy the latest libhtc_ril.so form marvel stock rom and tested it. It segfaulted so I've started to attach strace to find out what's going wrong. I've fixed some permissions and it worked, but as soon as the screen turned off it segfaulted again.
Another strace showed that it segfaulted while trying to open /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch.
I've implemented that function in the kernel and it still segfaulted and I had no idea what to do now. Today I analyzed the RADIO logs and stumpled upon:
Code:
D/RILJ ( 328): [0100]> SCREEN_STATE: false
D/HTC_RIL ( 1360): ril_func_screen_state_notified():called
D/HTC_RIL ( 1360): ril_func_screen_state_notified():Not found 'ether:' in USB_STATE_PATH
As it segfaulted directly after closing /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch it smelled like it expeced to have something like:
Code:
ether:disable
I've dived into the code with Droste and we found out that in our tree it was called rndis and in the htc tree it was called ether. We also forgot to update a header file. However after it found 'ether' in the out in the output of /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch it started to work just fine.
I hope this post will help other developers with similar problems.
This is the full set:
Code:
ether:disable
accessory:disable
usb_mass_storage:enable
adb:enable
cdc_ethernet:disable
diag:disable
modem:disable
serial:disable
projector:disable
THANKS AGAIN DROSTE

This will definitely help in better CM7 and CM9 builds!!!! You are awesome dude!!!!

cm7 soon to be cm9

really really interesting thank moodpunk, just a question
libhtc_ril.so now is fixed for all version of radio or just for a specific version? in another thread you said that your phone has 47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.9.03M that according to RUU isn't the latest radio version. so i'd like to know if on the newer version (47.23e.35.3038M_7.57.39.01M) it will segfault or not. thanks

yeah god forbid people click a link and post to the right place oh no. Do you not comprehend that this thread is useless as in the sense that anything reported here will NEVER reach the devs? LMFAO, you're actually making it more difficult for the devs to get issues sorted out. Good job on that. Don't come to the development section.

I don't think this thread is for developers. This thread is for users who are unsure of whether they want to switch to JB or not. Knowing the bugs can help them make a decision. However, this should be in the general section in my opinion.

I'm running S4 Google Edition on T-Mo S4

Hey whats up everyone. After doing some research, and a gusty move, I read what people had to say in the link below:
Thanks goes to the thread of the GT-I9505 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
This link has the steps to install the S4 Google Edition (Full system Dump) to our T-Mo S4's.
It's a pretty small file, and as always, create a backup before you install. I wiped my themed stock rom, then flashed the GE sys dump.
I've confirmed the following:
* Camera works / Video
* LTE works
* Phone calls work
* NFC works
* SMS / MMS works
* Wi-Fi does NOT work
There's a couple of other tests that I didn't run, but I'm still getting a feel for this as I write this.
Any questions should be directed to the link above, not here. But i'm sure by grabbing that system dump, that we can work out the Wi-Fi issue, or leave it to our developers hands. Thanks everyone!

Faux Kernel didn't do anything for the WiFi; at least not the one I used. I seem to have trouble downloading one that won't throw an error or show up as an invalid zip...
I believe I'm going to give this a few days before trying the Google experience.

Can't wait to get home and look more into this...tell us how it goes! Have you seen any extra features in there cause i mean it is going through samsung

Haha I did it while I was at work, too. No special kernels needed. Just as C.Sweat said, just download, backup, wipe, and flash.
My issue was that I downloaded the system dump from a different source link, thus im sure there was something corrupt or not compatible with the Wi-fi in that specific sys. dump. I'm not even going to do a logcat or any of that, especially if there's already a fully functional dump of the GE.
For those who want to install the Google Edition, please go here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsSDB2hKUxgZDFoR0xNdldLTW8/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .
Also, another thing to note is that Google Wallet fully works (of course without XPosures' patching), and we're not given that "It's not available for your provider" nonsense.
This rom = So much win!

Very safe to say

Any idea why wifi did not work at first?
After installing the full system dump from GPe to TMo hardware... are there any software differences that remain between the devices? Kernel, etc? Or are they truly 100% identical? Thanks!

Haven't tried yet, but am anxious.
Anyone check NFC, IR Blaster yet?

I was just over at the AT&T GS4 forum and they are talking about some partition difference.
If that's the case, then some GBs of space will be wasted
Is there something like that on the T Mobile version too ?
