[MOD][MIUI] - NEW 07/29 - Carrier name fix - CWM Flashable

Hey Guys,
Here is a little flashable file for anyone experiencing issues with your carrier names just showing up as numbers.
This issue will hopefully be fixed with later versions of MIUI but for now this is a quick easy fix.
Thanks to silverbullet1013 for the spn-conf.xml file
Update - 07/29 -
Should now work on MIUI and CM7 (maybe?)

Would something like this work for CM7? Or is there a similar zip we can use if we're on CM7?

I just tried it on the latest CM7 Nightly and it doesn't work. I still get 302610 instead of Bell.

I am currently trying to play with this. So far no luck. I even tried to replace the exisiting spn-conf.xml in insanity to yours. It replaced fine but i don't think its even looking at that file. it only looks at apn-conf.xml and that has the carrier name as bell but only displays the number. no idea why.

Why does it seem like only us Bell users are afflicted by this?

Hey BlackDino,
i am a little confused. your latest zip file has this
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/system", "/system");
but i don't see a system folder or file in by-name. My understanding is this runProgram script is going run the file/copy the file from by-name/system to /system? but i see no file in it. Anyway, i could be totally wrong here but thought i should let you know.

Are you talking about cm7? If so pm me the apn-conf.XML although I doubt that file is the carrier name.
I will download the cm7 files tonight and have a look through to see what I can find

Updated Chrome and it no longer works with CM9 ICS?

I just updated my Chrome from the market place, and now when I try to start it I get the message:
Chrome is not supported for your version of Android.
Version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich is the minimal supported version.

I'm running CyanogenMod9, Android version 4.0.3 so it should work....
Any ideas?

Same symptom and likely same cause as this.

It doesn't work for me either

Damnit can anyone upload the original, or maybe a build prop tweak so we can use this? I cannot go back to any other browser after using this. I'm sure more people feel the same way

Reinstall it over the updated one and you'll be good to go. Im sure the CM9 devs will figure this out quickly or Google might release a patch if the want to be friendly to us geeks.

yeah i figured it was only one line but i found gingerbread mentioned several times and i wanted to get rid of all mention of it. and i was to lazy to test one line at a time. thanks for clearing that up.

Chrome app working again
All you have to do is backup your data and reflash cm9 and gapps and reinstall the downloaded apk , the market may give you some problems .

Update to alpha 5... they fixed chrome beta update issue... otherwise find older versions of apps on applanet.net

Which versions of a custom rom of ICS 4.0 support Google Chrome?
---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------
The reason I ask is because there are so many ICS themed roms, what constitutes one that'll work vs won't?

you would need to be using CM9, Alpha 5 if you wanted the latest update to work out of the box. To get CM9 Alpa 5 go here: http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html

So ANY ROM using CM 9 and Alpha 5 will work? Not familiar with what Alpha 5 is, what's that? (had someone root me n do my flashing of roms.. Still pretty new to it)

Downloading now....

Anybody else having problems getting this to boot? Going to try and redownload and see if that's the issue (although, it goes through the install process with TWRP just fine).
Edit. Just noticed the "ChromeFix". Checking to see if that could be the issue.
Update. Chromefix was not the answer to my problem. Get systemUI and com.android.phone FC's and can't do anything. On to try the freshly downloaded copy.
Update 2: Redownloaded via PC, transferred to SD card via PC/card reader, attempted to install, still a no go. Same results. Anybody know if this is actually flashing a kernel? Wondering if it's due to the adama kernel I had installed.

Can someone post their yakju 4.2.1 build.prop?

Hi can someone who is stock on a yakju 4.2.1 please post their build.prop file? I want to stop the update notifications. 4.1.2 is running absolutely flawlessly for me.

bump

looking for the same...

I'm no expert but can't you just edit yours so it thinks it's updated?
I see this line:
ro.build.version.release=4.2
So if yours says 4.1.2, changing it to 4.2 would make the system think it's updated and you won't get notifications? I have no idea if it works that way though. Don't trust me on that...

No I've done it before and it requires a little bit more than that, there's some more specific editing required so that's why someone's build.prop might be helpful.

I like perfectly 4.1.2 but 4.2 is also tempting just to see how the new things are impelmented. From what I've read, I think I will dread this decision, but something wants me to proceed with the update. Should I do, I'll try and post the file, but it might late tomorrow.

just delete /system/etc/updatecmds/Google_generic_update.txt and you don't get update popup and it's safer and better way than build.prop editing to fake 4.2.#

How is that safer? Just asking...because if I delete it and that works and then I decide later to get updates...how would I do that?

Sometimes some apps may FC when build.prop is modified wrong way..
By deleting the file from that folder you don't get update notification.. You can add file back from android 4.1.2 ROM when you want it back..
Or then add mod version and change text from ro.fingerprint= Google to Samsung may work well

There you go.

[R&D]Fire Phone Images

Hello everyone.
I'm SafinWasi. I know I'm new to the Fire Phone forums,but I found something big,so I thought that I should post it here.
It seems that unlike the Kindle Fire Tablet series which used a TI OMAP based chipset,the Fire Phone uses a Qualcomm MSM based chipset. That being said,we should now have access to the Fire OS images for modding.
To those who have root:
Please use the following steps to get the boot and recovery images:
Using ES File Explorer,mount system and "/" path as rw- and navigate to /dev/block/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ and copy "boot" and "recovery" to sdcard.
Please send the two images to me via PM or post it in this thread so that I may open them up for examining.

Thank you once again for getting the ball rolling on this. I had (almost) lost hope!
Absolutely certain root is needed to pull any of the files. I have tried every method possible through ES (e-mail, BT, MMS, copying the file to /sdcard/, etc.)
Another thing I can try is to obtain root on my phone. Someone mentioned towelroot has many different versions floating around, I've only tried the v3 from geohot's site. I'll find some other sources & see if I can't get lucky.

Judging by the 35,000 units sold, and not much interest / activity for this phone on XDA, I doubt anyone's requested it. I sent the following email to Amazon which "escalated" my issue, & also sent the email directly to Jeff Bezos. It's a long shot but let's hope it makes some noise. By AOSP guidelines, they are required to release the device's source code.
The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) has compliance guidelines for companies which produce & distribute devices containing the Android operating system. The recently released Fire Phone operates on the Fire OS, which is a modified version of Android 4.2 "Jelly Bean".
In order to comply with the AOSP guidelines, Amazon is required to release the source code for the Fire Phone device, which it has not.
Please make the source code available for download.
Thank you.

Wow haha that was quick! Now we just need someone with root to pull the files.
@Dilbert1959 - Seems your device has root. Please follow @SafinWasi's guide above to pull the requested files.

Since the boot loader is locked, I doubt that custom recoveries would be possible, but SafeStrap is definitely a probability.

If anyone knows of a safe place for me to download old versions of towel root I can try to help with pulling the image. AT&T for some reason can't find my phone on their network so it's basically a paperweight and don't mind trying to help with this. If there are other methods I can try to root let me know as well. I can give them a shot when I have some down time.

I requested the tr.apk from @Dilbert1959 but have not gotten anything yet, however I used Google & tried all versions with no luck. Another thing we're not sure of - if those who have root did so before the 3.5.1 update.

Yeah I just contacted him as well. Will see what happens. Sadly my phone appears to be at 3.5.1.

@SafinWasi and all - I posted the APK in a separate thread in this same sub-forum. In retrospect, I should've just posted in this thread.
EDIT: I believe Towelroot will only work on this phone if you haven't updated to 3.5.1. I'm searching for a way to revert my phone to 3.5 to test this. The Amazon AWS site only has the most recent version available for download.
2ND EDIT: @SafinWasi - I found the old 3.5 OS download link in another thread. The file has a *.bin extension and is 1.12GB. We know through the recovery we can "update via ADB" which will prompt you to adb sideload an update file. I'm thinking I'll try this to get back on 3.5 & towelroot it.
Fire OS 3.5 (thanks to @ONYXis) - https://s3.amazonaws.com/fire-phone-updates/update-fire-phone-121_1.0.1_user_101012120.bin

First of all, I take no credit for these images. I received these from @Dilbert1959 who has confirmed root access using towelroot on Fire OS 3.5. I simply compressed the images to an acceptable file size for XDA.
@SafinWasi - Feel free to move these images to the OP.
