Multiple broadcom firmwares

Hello,
I've been looking into the issue with WiFi tethering and one interesting thing I've noticed is in the /etc/firmware directory there are two bcm4329.bin files.
Code:
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- root root 9220 2010-04-29 01:47 yamato_pm4.fw
-rw-r--r-- root root 173082 2010-04-29 01:47 Supersonic_20100204_Sprint_Jack_324016_v2.acdb
-rw-r--r-- root root 137911 2010-04-29 01:47 default.acdb
-rw-r--r-- root root 15336 2010-04-29 01:47 BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0360.0361.hcd
-rw-r--r-- root root 137911 2010-04-29 01:47 MFG.acdb
-rw-r--r-- root root 241820 2010-04-29 01:47 fw_bcm4329.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 239616 2010-04-29 01:47 fw_bcm4329_ap.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 1156 2010-04-29 01:47 yamato_pfp.fw
One is suffixed with _ap. This to me stands for access point.
I don't know that much about how these firmware files work, but the fact there is two of them makes me suspicious.
Sprint's built in tethering app has no problem with the wireless interface, but the free ones do. What could be the solution?

[GUIDE] How to recover after messing up with system/lib files

After reading this thread i got existed that finally Arabic is here but turned out its not interned for DHD and i messed up my lib files and now my phone don't boot
so i flashed CWM and flashed a new custom ROM because i had my S-off "thanks to the guys at #G2root channel in irc my phone is back to normal but i kept experimenting with it because i thought i might get it to work....well i didnt but learned some stuff in the processes i'm gonna share with you guys..
*********if your system/lib files are corrupted in any way and you have the stock files****************
1-Flash Clockwork MOD Recovery Image
2-go to CWM and then press the down button tell you go over the menu 3 times "this to make power button usable to select option"
3-go to storage and mount and mount USB storage
4-copy the stock files to your Sdcard
5-unmount from you cwm
6-mount system and mount sdcard from cwm
7- now in your pc run adb from CMD
8-type in "adb shell"
you should get ~#
9-type in "mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system"
and then "cp /sdcard/TheFileYouWant.so /system/lib/" for example i did "cp /sdcard/libwebcore.so /system/lib/"
10-now type "ls -l /system/lib"
your file should be there
-rw-r--r-- root root 9568 2008-08-01 15:00 libwsp_jni.so

-rw-r--r-- root root 9260 2008-08-01 15:00 libaudioalsa.so
but it still wont boot because your file don't have permeations
"all system lib files need to be 644"
11-type in "chmod 644 /system/lib/libwebcore.so"
then type "ls -l /system/lib"

-rw-r--r-- root root 9260 2008-08-01 15:00 libaudioalsa.so
if your file is "-rw-r--r--" then your set just reboot from cwm and cross your fingers >.<
Thanks to <FatTire> and all of G2root channel for there help you guys are the best!

[Q] /cache directory contents on LG Vortex

I was just wondering if the files located in the /cache directory are safe to delete? Right now, what I see are the following:
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 124521 2011-01-03 15:44 downloadfile-6.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 1529836 2010-12-10 22:01 downloadfile.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 4699882 2010-12-21 23:01 downloadfile-5.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 1845231 2010-12-17 00:50 downloadfile-2.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 4762199 2010-12-21 22:59 downloadfile-4.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 270218 2010-12-17 00:50 downloadfile-3.apk
-rw-r--r-- app_17 app_17 1529836 2010-12-12 20:00 downloadfile-1.apk
Are these just temporary APK install files that are downloaded from the market and are safe to delete or do the installed apps depend on this? I'm assuming since it's in the /cache directory, it's probably temporary.
I did notice when I was downloading an app from the market today, it was named /cache/downloadfile-6.apk.
I just want to make sure before I hose up my droid.
Thanks!

[Q] anyone have virus embedded in rom?

Have any of you guys noticed any viruses in any of the roms you have downloaded? The reason I ask is: somehow my email account was comprimised about a month back. I have been completely puzzled by how. I scanned all of my computers with avg and found nothing. However, after I installed avast and ran a scan on boot on my windows pc. I found that the rom I had installed was loaded with viruses.
So it kinda makes sense that someone could take the source code for android, add a couple of lines of code, compile it and voila, steal your password from the modified stock email client.
I have checked into antivirus for android, but like alot of posts I have read on here. They are pretty much useless since they don't scan the system, only the downloaded apps.
I guess I am just looking for some cinfirmation in this, since I have been terrified to punch in a password anywhere. So let me know.
Thanks

Here is a list of my apk. I would give you md5 checksums for each but stock firmware doesn't have it. Compare sizes if you have the same firmware. Install terminal emulator from market do cd /system/app and then ls -l
My firmware: US 9.2.1.11
Also, tell us which rom you downloaded.

Commodo kept insisting that ViperMOD contained a trojan ([email protected]), but others in here have said this is a false alarm. In addition, I could not get other A/V to detect it.

I installed prime. It was the latest release just after christmas. Like I said, not 100% sure if that is how my email was compromised but it is the only thing that makes sense. I have a copy of the prime rom that I installed on my tablet. I will probably copy it over to my pc and give it a regular scan. If it doesn't detect anything, I will run the scan before boot option(since that is how I detected them before). I will also post what was found. Don't have time today but I will try tomorrow.
Anyone that installed prime should check their sent box and see if there is any emails that they didn't send. That's how I found out my email was hacked.

I was running various versions of Prime on my tablet for months, before recently updating to stock ICS; I've never had any problems with the security of my email account.
Without knowing more about the particular applications you've installed, and other details of the configuration of your tablet, it seems a little like grasping at straws to accuse the ROM of having malicious code injected into its applications.

Some root exploits will be flagged as malware- gingerbreak gets detected by my virus scanner on my linux box. I guess it's only malware when the effect is unwanted.
You could take the rom apart on your PC and scan it there.

Sorry guys, it was a false alarm. I rescanned it and it was clean. It was gingerbreak (among other things) that was detected on my pc. I know gingerbreak is fine.
However, I think this raises a valid point. Someone could compile some malicious code into system files and market it as a rom and no one would be the wiser since there is nothing that would detect it. It would be cool if there was an app that could scan the system if there were any suspicions. Could be something simple that just checked file size and md5 checksums. If I get some time maybe I will work on something.
Thanks everybody for their time!
btw, never really made accusations. more like suspicions. Always said I wasn't sure what caused my issues.

Although it is true that those of us who do not have a background in development have no real way of knowing what is going on with the code of the ROMs we install, I would suggest that the best defences against the possibility of malicious code in a ROM are the userbase of this forum - since any ROM, unless it is very new, will have lots of people installing it, putting it through its paces, and reporting problems and bugs - and the developers themselves, many of whom make regular, personal posts that relate to the software they are working on, and often directly respond to various questions and issues raised.
Maybe such a degree of trust isn't always ideal, but in the end, installing any sort of ROM is a calculated risk.
Either way, it's interesting to hear that you excluded the ROM as the source of your problem; hopefully you will be able to track down the cause in the near future.

[Q] after external gapps: everything 'has stopped'

i was successful in installing the latest evervolv kitkat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47778249&postcount=1) on my nexus one, but i can't get the google core apps working on an external partition. i used this approach
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28574807&postcount=3
with the latest gapps core from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
the logcat looks fine (at least to me):

does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

tried the older version of gapps core (24-11 instead of 26-11) that still included the odex files, but the result is the same

i installed them to the system partition now and that works fine. still not the solution i was looking for considering the size of the internal partitions...

since there's no feedback i'll shamelessly use this abandoned thread to get a postcount over 10...

nearly there...

i can see the light...

here we go.

Hi bfink,
I am experiencing the same issue on my droid incredible. I saw you worked around it by installing to the system partition rather than using sd-ext. Unfortunately, with my latest build of Evervolv (Android 4.4.1) for my phone, even after cleaning out extra system apps and media files, I'm still maxing out the /system partition and can't get gapps to work. When I try the extgapps method linked in your first post, I get the same errors as you (i.e. ClassNotFoundException). Did you ever get that method working or figure out what the issue is?
Anyone else?
Thanks

sadly no. what you could try is to install some system apps as normal apps, i.e. move them from system to data or use the functionality for that in titanium backup, then install the gapps to system and maybe also move some afterwards. or resize the system partition when you reinstall the next time.

thanks a lot!

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to resize the partitions on the droid incredible. It is very similar to the nexus one as far as hardware goes, but I don't think we have the ability to mess with the partitions. If anyone knows of a way, feel free to correct/enlighten me.
I just ended up spending some more time clearing out additional things I don't need from the system partition (like non-English fonts). Eventually I was able to get enough space, but I had some other unrelated issues too. Maybe this will get fixed, but until then I think we'll just have to free space in whatever way we can (e.g. removing system apps, moving system apps to data, deleting unused media/font files, etc.). Thanks again.

I'm late to the party here (really want my 10 posts )
But I think you might want to try a clean flash with a new set of Gapps?
CWM Backup
Wipe System
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Flash Rom
Flash 4.4.1 gapps ([GAPPS][4.4.1/4.4.2] Unofficial GApps [10-Dec-2013])
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Reboot
