[HOW-TO] Enabling Wireless N on Evo- Android Eclair 2.1

THIS IS FOR ECLAIR 2.1 DO NOT USE THIS IN A FROYO 2.2 ROM. SINCE THE 2.2 UPDATE WIRELESS N IS SUPPORTED OUT THE BOX. NO NEED FOR THIS HACK IN FROYO 2.2
edited by toastcfh to avoid mishaps
Update: Thanks to Calkulin there are now flashable zips on my blog post as well as just the driver. Just flash them like any other update.zip file.
So the Evo's WiFi chip supports Wireless N technology, which allows for faster throughput on your WiFi connection. To use this you obviously need a Wireless N capable AP or router. Basically, for some reason (I am going to assume battery life?), HTC decided to disable the wireless n capability of this chip but this can be fixed. Since we don't have the source for the driver we need to use a hex editor. Note, if using AOSP wireless n will already be enabled using the AOSP driver. But if you are using a Sense rom then you will need to do the following. Also I am including a download link with the driver that you can just push if you don't want to get dirty with a hex editor. Anyway, here we go:
1. Download a hex editor (I just googled hex editor and downloaded this one: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm)
2. Go into a command prompt or shell and perform:
Code:
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko.old
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko
This will pull the file and make a backup in case you need to replace the backup.
3. In your hex editor open the file you just pulled. Now, in two spots HTC added 'nmode' in here to disable Wireless N. All we have to do is modify this string to be any other 5 character string and wireless N will be enabled. I did a search and replace and replaced 'nmode' with '-----' (Note: Do not include the single quotes).
4. Save the file.
5. Perform the following in a command prompt or shell:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
Now wireless N should be enabled on your device. If not, restart it and try. If you ever want to restore your original just perform the following:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko.old /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
.
Below is the download link for the already modified wireless driver.
http://objectunoriented.com/android/?p=35

I downloaded the file and pushed it to my phone. I restarted the phone and once it came back up it connected on 802.11n. So far been working perfectly.

Sounds good, will try when I get home. But I have to say I was expecting this after I heard that the incredible is getting a patch to enable wireless n.

wow. clever little patch. im excited to try this! hopefully will at least allow better throughput if not also better signal with wireless n! thanks!!
on a technical side note, any reason why your /system is mtdblock3 while mine is mtdblock4?

cant wait to try this.... thanks

good stuff! gonna try this.

That's just the command I used when I mounted the system directory as writeable when I had my Hero. Should it be 4 instead of 3?

I have actually had this working for maybe a week now in my latest Superersonic rom but since I haven't had time to fix the root problem with that rom I just decided to post this seperately.

most of the power issues/concerns with wireless-n are targetted at the AP/Router i think... wondering if anyone has been seeing a drop in battery power though.

Hey thanks for doing this for me. I completely forgot to do this lol
Updated blog post with these update zips btw. Thanks again.

Probably a dumb question but im guessing since you have provided us with a zip file we can just flash it now??? And even dumber question this will still work with wireless g routers right?

awesome bro. Thanks.

Correct. Thanks to Calkulin you can now use the zips he provided (downloadable here or on my blog post) to flash instead of using adb.
And yes this will still work with a/b/g routers.

You can download the files through your phone's browser and flash through that as long as you NAND unlocked everything. Just make sure you copy Calkulin's update.zip files to the root of the sd card after downloading.

Droid X Multitouch KB for Eclair ROMs

Here's a working kb that I know works for eclair roms (more specifically, it works for me on Darchdroid 2.7 (an AOSP ROM). If anyone is able to get this to work okay using sense roms, that's great, otherwise, sorry.
Just put the file into u'r c:\ folder and push it via adb
Code:
adb push c:\DroidXIME.apk /system/app/
I just added the 'q-ime.apk' file as well. This file is similar to the DroidXIME.apk file, but, in my opinion, it seems to have better response than the droidxime.apk file. It also fixes a problem with displaying a correct symbol in the characters section of the kb.
Enjoy

I installed it via Astro manager, but even though it shows it's installed, I cannot find any settings to assign it as the default keyboard. Would it have anything to do with it being the latin keyboard? I do see the settings for "multitouch keyboard" but that's it. Also is there any visual difference between this one and the stock keyboard?

It'll look the same or similar to the stock KB. The multitouch is this KB

I'm surprised it doesn't work for ya... you just have to go into the shell after mounting /system and
Code:

Code:
reboot
Sorry it FC's on ya
They both work just fine for me. Stinx they aren't workin for ya
I basically posted this for someone on IRC so they could get the apk easily. Maybe it's only functional for AOSP roms... dunno

Use it like a normal computer keyboard ie: hold down the 'shift' key while you push another key to make it a capital, then release and keep typing - works great!

that would explain why it disappears after i reboot using Damage Control ROM.

can someone post a screen shot of how this keyboard looks? will this work with fresh 2.1.1. i am using the AOSP black keyboard right now along with AOSP messaging app and they both work great. someone please post a screenie! thanks.

is there still a space bar bug in this

when I do rm qime.apk I get Read-only file system. Not sure why. First time I ever had an issue loading anything.

use RootExplorer (find an apk) and use that..its better/easier than using a terminal emulator, plus, u dont need to remember/copy all those commands

does this keyboard have the spacebar bug where it only responds to the top of the button

[PORT] Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard [Froyo] UPDATE! fixed4!

Got this working on a recent nightly for cm6 (dont see why it wouldnt work on any others too) also, it will most likely work on any deodexed rom (odexed im not sure) -- Let me know what does/doesnt work and ill try and do something or point you in the right direction.
this should also work with other phones (so far just hdpi phones)
EDIT: punk.kaos got it working on all phones! good work! thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021

THIS HAS KNOWN ISSUES CAUSING THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD TO DO WEIRD STUFF ON THE DROID 1!!!!
something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it

- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?
Voice input works too!
Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway

I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!
BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory

It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you

[How to] Disable CarrierIQ on the Atrix 2

I am posting this in the Developer forum, because it is still a little more than a In-experienced user can handle at the moment, and the potential to get into a bootloop is a little higher if you are not familiar with what you are doing here.
If you are at all new / uncomfortable with Android, UNIX/LINUX, this phone, or adb, then: PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
If you get into a bootloop I am not responsible for this, nor is this the place to complain if that happens. You can ask for support here though if this process has caused that.
If you do get into a bootloop, then try and help me out, with providing as much info as possible with what happened (any output or screen prints are VERY helpful). I am also posting the original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file here AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. That way if it does all go wrong it is here to grab. So don't go asking for it someplace else, or even asking here for it.
You have been warned!
Now with that out of the way, on to the good stuff.
1) Go grab some kind of bloat freeze program, from the market. I have used bloat freezer from the market with great success.
Just download and install it, don't run it just yet, if you already have, and frozen the "Device Health Application", then unfreeze it, and reboot, before doing the next step.
It is VERY important that it is done in EXACTLY this order. The reason is, if the Device Health program is frozen when you let the init script run, it will not work exactly as it should and these services will restart, since part of it is frozen when it first runs, and it all has to be disabled in the proper way, so that it can not be restarted remotely, or we will HAVE to use cron to run checks. Cron is an elaborate hack, I don't want to have to do, unless we HAVE to. If you do it in the exact order noted here, cron will not be needed and this will not restart.
2) Go get the init.goldfish.sh file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh.tar
push this tarball to your phone:
Code:
adb push init.goldfish.sh.tar /data/local/
End code
Now is the command line part of this hack.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
tar -xvf init.goldfish.sh.tar
cp /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh /sdcard/init.goldfish.sh
cp ./init.goldfish.sh /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chown root /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot
End code
Now when your phone comes back up:
3) Open your bloat freezer program and freeze the "Device Health Application"
Your phone will freak out, and tell you that Device Health has stopped and it will keep asking you to FC, all you can do is pull the battery.
Put the battery back in the phone an boot it up.
Now CarrierIQ should be 100% disabled on your Atrix 2.
As promissed, here is the Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file in a tarball, just use the same code above to put this back in place.
DON'T USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY THESE FILES INTO PLACE!!!
Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file:

LOL....
Hopefully I have not scared everyone from trying this.... I just want to let all the newbies who just got this as thier first android phone yesterday, and rooted it today, and now think that this is a good hack to try, that this is not the best thing for them just yet. It can and will bootloop the phone if you get too excited and don't follow the directions exactly... I got mine in a bootloop testing this all out, and finding the exact steps, but it was not hard to get out of, because it gets into android enough to let you adb in, if you screw up...

quick question: Why would rooting followed by freezing not work for that application? I think I did that when I got the phone. I don't see anything called Device Health in my running or installed applications.
Is carrierIQ still running on my phone? Have you got a string I can look for in the 'ps' output in the Terminal to confirm? There are 100000 processes running on these phones these days, most with cryptic names.... I miss the G1 days....

No just freezing the device health app just stops the collection process.
The part where you run the commands to stop the services in android are where the data can and will be sent to CIQ or AT&T, there are other things collected that att does not care much about (ATT only wants what is collected with the dev health app), and that goes straight to CIQ, so the services at the OS level are VERY important to stop. There is really not a way to see them running, but I have found that these can and will restart if my instructions are not followed 100%. To find out if CIQ is doing anything take a look on youtube there is a video that explains how to look at the system logs and see what is being collected if anything, and what is being sent out. After a lot of trial and error, I found this is the ONLY way to stop it 100%.

Hey Jim. sorry I've been out of the forums for so long on this. I was going to dig around my atrix2 and see what I could find wrt carrieriq. I got stuck on missing shell tools and you gave me some advice wrt paths and such. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for fixing up my env when I shell in? I also don't seem to have grep anywhere... odd.
YOu mentioned doing some of the destructive work in an emulator, and I would like to try the same thing, but I've no idea how to get the atrix2 ROM into an emulator. How did you accomplish this?
I followed the instructions above precisely and verified that my init.goldfish.sh is indeed modified correctly with the carrieriq stuff, and have suffered no ill effects. I have not, however, attempted to determine if carrieriq processes have stopped running. I did notice that after having frozen and unfrozen device.health.monitor a few times, it doesn't ever register as a running app... wonder what's up with that.
thanks for the help.

I was wondering....could this be made into a handy dandy flashable zip?
Then after flashing just freeze the app?

NICE! you really are a jedi master!

Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.
You will still have to freeze the device health app as in the OP.
This is just a test right now, once someone other than me tests this, and reports back, that all is great, then I will update the OP, to this method.

It said switch to edify scripting. Installation aborted. Something about gingerbread cwm 3. Not sure. Never see this before. I checked the zip and it has 2 updater scripts. One just has a ~ at the end. I know nothing of code but just trying to help.

Why not use the app by TrevE?

That does not perform the hack, only detects if it is running. The voodoo ciq detection app works much better though.

I just rooted my phone, applied the hack and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Device Health App but I didn't see any FC.
Although when I opened Ti Backup, it told me that my su right are wrong. They are 4755 instead of 6755 or something like that and TiBu told me that it will fix it. I fixed it then froze the app and no FC or nothing. Phone is running fine but not sure if it worked.
Is it really necessary for the app to FC in order to show that it worked?
Should I try it all over again?
Thank you.

Go download and install this, and it will show you if it (CarrierIQ) is active or not.

[Q] How To, If Possible, Root With Bad Volume Keys

So, I'm attempting to root a Charge that the volume keys do not work. Apparently, 1 and 2 year olds who have great throwing ability is something the Charge, well, anything really, doesn't exactly appreciate. Normally, I root by going into the download mode, and flashing CWM, then installing the ROM. Obviously, not happening here.
My question is, has someone with more knowledge than I figured out how to accomplish this? Its running stock FP5. I really don't want to send it in because of the contract timing and wasteful of money. I'm also willing to experiment replacing parts, if someone knows anything about it...
Thanks.

Yep. There's a jig that will force the phone into dl mode. IIRC it's branded for the gnex but it's confirmed to work on the Charge as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27533069

Hey, I had a thought of using ADB to root, and somehow forcing CWM on it, then using an app to boot it into dl mode. I've never used and before and don't know if it's possible, although, from what I read, it seems plausible. Can you offer any insight on this idea?

If you have adb all set up and it properly recognizes your phone (something comes up when putting in the adb devices command) you can boot into download mode with
adb reboot download

Actually it's something I looked into recently for another member. I'm not saying it's not possible but I don't think we have the right tools for it. Originally ginger root was used via adb to root the charge but that's not going to work with our version of gb (assuming you could still find it). I'm not sure the format of cwm will work either. I'm not really proficient with adb so someone with more expertise might be able to get you going.

Awesome. I don't have it installed yet, but it doesn't look like it takes much to make it work. Plus, I have nine that isn't screwed up, so I think I'll see what I can come up with later.
On a side note, I can't post a reply to your tweaked 3.1 thread, but I ran into somewhat of a problem... run tweaktools, did the tweaks thing, phone BARELY would run. I also couldn't get a shell to run to get back in to uninstall. What I ended up doing to fix was a reinstall of SuperSU and installing a bash shell off a different emulator to get back into tweaktools. This was after I played in /system/etc/init.d awhile trying my hand at fixing it. Thought you may want/need to knoknow.

By the way, thanks for the tip. I'll report one way or another in a day or 2.

Sorry to hear of the troubles - not sure what would have caused the issue with tweaktools. You weren't able to su, or you weren't able to open terminal emulator? What were you messing with specifically in the tweaks?

Okay, Found it in ADB, and am able to reboot into download, so all is well, I think.
On the tweaktools issue, I kinda did something like this...One tweak does okay, so lets install ALL of them....after that, performed the reboot, and everything went very sloooow. So, I tried to get into a term emulator, and nothing happened, the shell wouldn't even start. Blank screen. So, I tried a different outside of ROM toolbox. Nothing. So, I played around with the settings here and there, and still nothing. I then went into root browser, and started trying to manually move the tweaks out, nothing different. So, I downloaded another term emulator, "Better Terminal Emulator" and got a bash shell to at least open, was able to get into tweaktools, erase all tweaks, clear downloads. But the shells still weren't operating right. They'd open and run, but nothing would show on screen. So, a erase/reinstall of SuperSU, everything good....LOL

Well, maybe it'll help, maybe not, but here's the path I used to do this:
Visit samsung's site for the ADB download and install to c:\android-sdk\ (default)
Put USB Debugging on in phone
Start up command line and Odin 1.82
issue following in command line (notably in the c:\android-sdk\platform-tools)
Code:
adb reboot download
Odin up some Tweaked 2.2 with recovery and kernel for root
once rebooted, issue the following in ADB shell:
Code:
adb shell
su (Checked phone to be sure root was granted)
cd /data
rm -R *
cd /cache
rm -R *
cd /dbdata rm -R *
reboot, then adb reboot download.
Flashed EP4 Stock, updated,
Updated to FP5E
Once again, USB debug, adb reboot download, and Odin Tweaked 3.1 with 0302,
follow above code again, reboot, and I think I have it right....
Since the volume keys don't work on here, is there a way to screw around in the recovery mode via ADB rather than only the keys? I see ADB sees the phone in recovery, and seems to want to connect with it....Second is, is there a way to play with this in the *nix enviroment? I also have been searching for the Gingerbreak, etc to root this thing on stock, but haven't been able to do it....and last, is there a way to do a data wipe other than what I did, and think i accomplished with ADB?
Thanks

With the CWM that I am using, you can use the hard buttons at the bottom of the phone to navigate.
