[Q] MK16i>WiFi not working>MIUI 2.10.19 > LUPUS V4

Hello All,
Any help would be much appreciated. I like MIUI ROM 2.10.19 and want to use it with LUPUS Kernel V4. But I'm experiencing problems with WiFi. Everything is working fine but I am unable to start WiFi. I've flashed Kernel and Rom many times and installed the WiFi modules provided by the developer Wedgess with his Kernel but it did not work.
I like LUPUS kernel because it saves lot of battery and really like his work. Please help me resolve this problem.

Thank god im not alone with this, i have been running cyanogenmod9 for over 6 months now with a common wifi issue which is pretty easy to fix by deleting some dhcp file...
my issue now is that i fear i have deleted an important file for the wifi to work as it is now greyed out in the settings and although it says "turning wifi on" after 5 mins of waiting the handset reboots and still no wifi, i have re flashed the rom a few times with kernals and even tried a few different roms that did not work on my device i may have flashed them on wrong but i dont understand how.. so i have concluded that it is not rom related for me at least,
any chance anyone can send me the critical wifi files and locations? or possibly suggest another solution? as my device is as good as a paperweight right now:crying:
thanks in advance and keep up the good work you amazing techy people

Fix for wifi problem
I´d also had long time the problem that the wifi button was greyd out and not working. Just now i found a fix for this problem in lupus´s kernel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885068
At the bottom of the second post you´ll find a attached wififixfile. These one i´ve installed via recovery an now wifi is working again. :highfive:
Thumbs up for wedgess´s work! His JB-kernel is awesome you should try it. Smoth as butter.

[Q] Voice Dialer STILL not working on android 4.2.2

Words fails me. I am so disgusted I have ran out of expletives so I won't bother repeating them here. Seriously...voice dialer is STILL not working! This update was specifically designed to fix this bug and it is still not working. I just can't understand what is so hard about putting back in functionality that was working before in ICS and was necessary.
This is the sort of thing that gets people to switch over irrevocably to apple. This has been going on for like a year now. It is starting to feel like it is being done on purpose for God knows what reason. Does it work for anyone else?

What update? This phone is officially on 4.1.1 . You are not guaranteed anything by running custom software.

Fair enough. Although I never said I was guaranteed anything and apparently we are also not guaranteed to have important functionality (aka voice dialer) to work from one official release to the next. It worked fine when I had ICS it just broke when I was upgraded to JB. I would prefer not to have to root my phone to get it work, but if I waited for the official channels then I will likely have to wait until I get my next phone for a fix.
Both Google and AOKP mentioned that bluetooth issues were fixed with 4.2.2 and I was inquiring whether this worked for others as it did not work for me. Neither 4.1.1, nor 4.1.2 nor 4.2.1 nor 4.2.2 nor any of the other little hacks others have tried have worked and I know others on the official release of 4.2.2 for Nexus had similar problems so I was hoping someone might have run across a solution.
I know I sounded snarky, but I am just really frustrated.

So I do not know if this will help you but I had pacman rom and the dialer wasn't working so I reflashed, no wiping and it fixed it.
Also there is always the option of going back to the stable TW roms. Which is what I did. You can't be mad for things not running smooth when you're running custom roms that make no claims of stability.

Thanks for the info, it was definitely worth a try. Alas the pacman rom did not do the trick. I had the official JB TW update and that is what broke my phone in the first place and I am not really interested in going back to ICS since I got the new phone so I can get Jelly Bean. I have also tried CleamROM and the the latest CM, AOKP and liquidSmooth 4.2.2 along with the just released gapps-jb-130301-signed.zip. No dice.
I'll keep banging away and let everyone know if I find a solution with other ROMs or tweaks.
I am not mad about custom ROMs not working properly I am mad about the official release breaking critical functionality for me.

I tried PK and PA ROMs in addition to aready mentioned. Voice dial does not work in any of them. I also tried Ktoonsez kernel - no dice. I think it's a major JB problem and there won't be any working ROM until Google fixes the issue. I just stopped trying :crying: ...

BT issue in JB 4.2.2

My bluetooth sometimes doesn't want to turn on, i have to reboot my phone to be able to use it, anyone having this issue?
I'm using latest version of toyes AOKP 4.2.2, same thing happened with previous version...
thanks

?
anyone?

? and bluetooth not working doesn't cut it ?
when you post a question like here is my rom and my Bluetooth doesn't "sometimes" work no one can help you. The only thing is you have to go back and look at your question, and see what it tells people reading it.
Now I'm wondering:
What troubleshooting steps was taken?
When did the problem appear? (after upgrade to a new ROM? after ...)
What is the other device's compatibility issues with my device?
Did it work fine before I came to this ROM?
Did you check the known/reported issues for your ROM before you updated?
If those issues did/didn't affect your performance/appearance on the rom then why did you update?
Things along those lines.
Does this help? I hope so ... :good:

Trying to find best ROM. Need GPS!

Question #1: GPS
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?
Question #2: Aries?!
Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?
Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?
There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.
:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!

Hi.
#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.
it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.
#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :
CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.
I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.

Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries.
Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.

THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.
I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.
