manekinekorpierce99_: you're on CDMA right? When using hyc's rils did you ever manage to configure it so that it properly shows operator name?00:51
rpierce99_yeah, you have to throw /data/eri.xml in place00:51
manekinekooh must have missed that, is it documented in the threads somewhere?00:52
manekinekothough XDA is down at the moment00:52

rpierce99_http://pastebin.com/29q4WaHQ00:53
rpierce99_that's the file, 2 things to edit for yourself in there00:53
rpierce99_the first is RoamingIndicator00:53
manekinekoawesome, thanks00:54
manekinekoonly thing this affects is the display I assume?00:54
rpierce99_you have to look at your radio logcat and find what your carrier is setting roaming indicator to00:54
rpierce99_and put it in place of the 100:54
manekinekoare you on Sprint?00:54
rpierce99_yes00:54
rpierce99_most peoples roaming indicator seems to be 12800:54
manekinekoI am too, would it be the same for both of us?00:54
rpierce99_i think if you only have 1 defined it will just use it00:55
rpierce99_so you might not have to do anything with it00:55
manekinekohmm what's the purpose of that number?00:55
rpierce99_not really sure, it's part of the spec, the low numbers mean simple stuff like "Roaming Indicator On" and "Roaming Indicator Off" but the high numbers are reserved, carriers can do whatever they like00:56
manekinekoyeah, I'm 128 as well00:57
rpierce99_so change that, and change the EriText to whatever you like00:57
rpierce99_then adb push it into /data as eri.xml00:57
manekinekoworked like a charm, much thanks00:59
manekinekostrikes me as odd that this file is in /data01:01
rpierce99_the /data version is a user override01:01
rpierce99_there is another, binary version, in /system01:01
manekinekoah that makes sense01:01
rpierce99_kind of a neat customization option for personalizing, but annoying for trying to make a generic build01:03
rpierce99_i guess we just just put a few entries in, 1, 128, etc and have them all say XDAndroid or something01:03
rpierce99_not really sure, not my bag01:04
manekinekocould have sworn fake-GSM mode correctly displayed Sprint as my carrier01:06
*** rpierce99_ has quit IRC01:06
manekinekoor am I dreaming that up01:06
*** rpierce99 has joined #xdandroid01:06
manekinekocould have sworn fake-GSM mode correctly displayed Sprint as my carrier, or am I dreaming that up?01:06
manekinekoif I wasn't dreaming, wonder where that read the carrier name from01:06
rpierce99nope, in gsm mode Android reads carrier from the tower01:06
rpierce99which leads to people seeing the wrong carrier when roaming or when on a tower that was recently acquired, etc01:07
rpierce99for whatever reason, in cdma mode, they let the carrier just hard code it01:07
manekinekoah, gotcha01:07
rpierce99so no matter what you always see your carrier name01:07
rpierce99i'm guessing because cdma is a lot less network-friendly01:08
rpierce99gsm, you swap sims and roam free01:08
hycI'm actually not sure that the names come from the tower01:08
manekinekooh?01:08
hyctry AT+COPN01:08
hycyou'll see a long list of operator names hardcoded into the modem01:08
rpierce99easier said than done, i'll take your word for it01:08
rpierce99:)01:08
hycif you installed my hacked libril.so, you can send any command you want01:09
hycthat was my "fun with the radio" thread on xda01:10
manekinekoso with the modified RIL, does XDAndroid show any indication when you say, roam onto Verizon?01:10
rpierce99yeah i saw it, i've been busy the last week or so hacking my plugbox, haven't had as much time for android01:10
manekinekoheh I've been making a bit of concerted effort to decrease my playing with XDAndroid time01:10
hycsure, you get a roaming indicator01:10
hyccutting back on xdandroid? where's your time going? :P01:11
manekinekothe amount of time I do end up posting or in the chat rooms is directly proportional to how much I'm procrastinating01:11
manekinekohaha01:11
hycI'm trying to cut back too01:11
hycwrap up all the loose ends I tripped over01:11
manekinekosounds like things are getting pretty close with the ril01:12
hycI had a running system image, but I just tried to install it on another SD card and now it just loops in bootanimation01:12
*** rpierce99_ has joined #xdandroid01:12
hycso recompiling the whole image again. woopie01:12
manekinekoheh I assumed you looked at the logs to see what it was doing first?01:13
hycyeah, PowerManager service kept dying01:13
hycnothing at all related to anything I've touched.01:13

manekinekoafter getting this properly working, I guess the mystery of why I saw a black space on my notification bar on Gingerbread has been solved01:18
manekinekothe roaming indicator is just a transparent black triangle01:18
hycyeah, thot so01:18
manekinekowhich on the black Gingerbread notification bar is just a black transparent black triangle01:18
hycmmm. very emo.01:18
manekinekokinda weird that the art asset is included at all if they didn't update it01:18
manekinekoemo, I bet that's what Google was going for01:19

manekinekooh btw hyc, the CDMA rhodiums are locked against US GSM carriers01:39
manekinekoso it's going to be a bit tricky finding someone in the right position to test transitioning from CDMA to GSM on the world phones01:40
hycyeah...01:43
hyctho I've seen that some people unlock theirs anyway01:44
manekinekoyeah, they're unlockable, but I don't know how many people there are out there with that setup01:44
manekinekohad to pay to unlock01:44
hycalso I have a couple of European SIM cards here myself01:44
hycsomeone who actually wants to use their phone as a worldphone is likely to have them01:44
manekinekohmm that's true, if push comes to shove, I bet I could find some of those somewhere to help test01:46
manekinekothough would that be sufficient? does every random Euro SIM card have a US roaming agreement?01:46
manekinekosuch that they could connect to the towers and see if everything is working?01:46
hycprobably not every01:46
hycI've made sure to enable roaming on my european cards01:47

JesusFreak316I've been wondering: what's with the "NO LG! NO" in the topic?11:37
*** helicopter88 has joined #xdandroid11:39
rpierce99i'll go out on a limb and say because xdandroid doesn't work on LG and at some point there were a lot of people asking about lG11:43
*** helicopter88 has quit IRC11:44
JesusFreak316That's what I figured but I wouldn't think LG would be the issue. Samsung users would me more likely IMO.11:44
JesusFreak316But if it happened it happened.11:45
rpierce99usually things don't just end up in channel topics randomly11:45
rpierce99who knows maybe stinebd just has a large distaste for LG11:45
JesusFreak316This IS stinebd we're talking about. :)11:46
