[PATCH] Bug fixes > Froyo V5 *7/27 leak* (Fix: Browser, Gmail, Market, Stream Audio)
Figured it would probably be worthwhile to roll an update zip with the fixes for the leaked Froyo release which have been identified thus far.
Patch contents:
Fixed force close issues with the browser when interrupting a page load or loading a URL out of email/RSS and hitting back. My patch will replace the browser with a deodexed version from the Evo 2.2 official (but pulled) release, which eliminates this issue.
Streaming audio fixes. This is NOT the same as the build.prop change found in other threads. The patch will replace the stagefright libraries using versions from the Evo OTA. As a result, the fix will not degrade Quadrant performance and should solve the streaming audio quality issues present in the original leak.
Market fix for missing apps. Changed build.prop such that the phone will identify itself as an N1 running Froyo (credit: adrynalyne).
Gmail app replaced with working version. The version included with the leaked ROM is terribly broken (such as adding 0s, not being able to open labels, etc). Patch will replace it with the latest version from the N1, which works great.
Superuser reverted back to 2.1, which despite generating sqlite errors in logcat works more reliably than 2.2.2. Should eliminate the issue with root elevation requests taking a long time after first booting.
Installation:
Apply the zip via CWM as usual (can be re-run anytime, such as for updates).
Be aware, this patch will clear your Gmail and Superuser data automatically. Thus, your phone will download your mail again and you will need to approve apps requesting root (only after first applying the patch).
Changelog
Version 5 - Fixed streaming audio and reverted superuser to 2.1.
Version 4 - Fixed browser force close issues.
Version 3 - Updated Gmail to 2.2.1 and automated install process completely.
Version 2 - Fixed Superuser so that permissions persist.
Version 1 - Initial release.

thanx for this
Worked. Thank you.
Thanks, much appreciated!
RMK- Thanks for this.
There is an issue after applying your patch where Superuser permissions does not 'remember', and reprompts on every SU required app... And yes, 'remember' is checked.
My super user is doing the same thing, won't remember any prefs.

same here, was you problems after the patch or before?
Is there any way to fix the 3G from not coming on on reboots? I've had this probelm a few times now? Wonder if its widespread?

Ugh, yeah, confirmed.
Looking into it now.
FYI, this patch does not include the fix to disable the stagefright media player in build.prop, which is supposed to fix the crappy sounding AAC streaming audio.

my gmail app force closed on boot. couldn't restart it even after reboot.

Version 2.2
Updated version to fix the Superuser permissions not persisting properly, sorry about that guys. Go ahead and just apply the new zip file on top of whatever you have now, will work just fine.
As for the media streaming change, that was intentional for reasons already mentioned. You're trading one problem for another, streaming quality for performance. Anyone who desires that "fix" should have no trouble applying it to the build.prop included with my patch.

No that I am aware of. As fixes get released for these issues and are confirmed to work I'll incorporate them into this patch. But yeah, nothing for the 3G issues right now.
GMail force closes and will not under any circumstance load up... Dang good thing I backed up the previous version.
UPDATE: Clearing cache Helps but It blanks out every so often and says "Your e-mail will display shortly". I'd rather have a 0 in my e-mail. Can't wait for the official update because the version in the Leaked ROM is very promising.

I just picked up 4.1 from the market on my G1. For some reason it kept force closing and saying I was 70000meters away from where I am. I even uninstalled it and rebooted. What I ended up doing was running RA recovery, entering the utility area and then using the experimental permissions fix.
Walla it runs smooth and seems to load up pretty fast. I'm on my phone and on the run. Just wanted to let others know that it does work despite all the rambling in the comments on the market.
It worked for me too, not much of an improvement if you ask me....
FC all the time and a lot slower than the old one (I'm using CM4.2.15.1)
It works great for me. I have no idea what everyone else is complaining about.
Agreed works well for me too i'm on CM 4.2.15.
It actually seems faster than before as far as scrolling around the map

Pulled off my phone after updating: Maps 4.1
Does this one have international navigation enabled or is it just the plain version?
plain ver. no international nav.
Shame
Don't suppose you know where there's a tutorial on how to edit the maps to add these features in like Brut does?
(Still looking for one but no luck yet)
just wait for brut to release it.

Did anyone else get another update today? The Market said there was an update available, even though I already had 4.1.0 and the new version was also identified as 4.1.0. Strange.

yes I got this too, it crashes my phone
Yup, tried it 3-4 times and it completely resets the phone.
Had this too. Logcat said that the package manager crashed with an uncaught exception and the phone will therefore reboot.
I solved the problem by uninstalling + re-installing Maps instead of updating directly.
how do you reinstall it?
uninstall. install.
where do you go to install it?
sorry i'm new to this phone
Has anyone else noticed this? When I installed Froyo Build FRG01B half the apps I use aren't in the marketplace anymore? This happened to my brothers Eris when any rom other then stop was installed. Any idea how to fix it? I don't want to leave Froyo.

I found a replacement buildprop on the above link to address this, don't know if it works for any rom though.

It's because the "fingerprint" of the OS no longer matches a "known" fingerprint. This is a setting in build.prop, which is usually either fixed by faking a known version or waiting until app devs "whitelist" your fingerprint.

totally agree with this opinion..
One of the nicer tablet optimized apps featured in the Market is the CNN for Android app. Unfortunately, for those of us who have rooted our Xooms, for some reason we cannot play video through the app and get a "CNN Video is not available offline. Please connect to a network and try again" message when we try to play video.
Presumably if there is something about rooting that causes this problem, then it is something with a reasonably easy solution. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what that solution is. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can get video working in this app?
Not sure why its not working for you, but its works find for me rooted with 1.4 cybertronic_p6 kernel..
Yeah, it's working with my own kernels, too (essentially the Moto Stock kernel HR166 with the Tiamat Overclock patches and all the latest upstream stuff).
I can't see how rooting and/or updated kernels could mess with that. Now, your init files (part of the "boot.img" that actually enables root) could be missing something that the video section requires.
Can you play embedded videos from any other source?
Do you have adfree installed? As soon as I uninstalled that, the videos started working again.

Yes I do, I thought that might have been what was causing the problem. I don't want to uninstall AdFree. Any idea which host I can delete from the hosts.txt file created by AdFree to get it working?
Run stock JB without flashing OTA!
flash this zip to a romslot instead.
REQUIRES SAFESTRAP 3.11 (due to increase in system partition size )
Only tested with ICS boot.img so far but it might work for people who've already flashed the OTA.
This is the Full Bloat edition
might do a slimmed version later.
Download: http://d-h.st/g5f
Bugs:
haven't tested much yet beyond booting and going through setup.
working:
hwc
lcd
1X
3g
4g
sound
wifi
compass
keybaord
capslight
bluetooth
etc...
not working:
???
Edit: romslot 1 only for now
thanks, man. too lazy to SBF, and the OTA keeps failing because I must have modded my build.prop. until I get some time to grab a build.prop from stock ICS or just bite the bullet and SBF back to stock, this should hold me over

No Wifi Tethering?
I just installed this from Rom Slot-1 and it looks good so far, but first thing i noticed was that I could not do Wifi Tethering with Foxfi (or built-in hotspot) It says that the carrier has blocked wifi mode in Jelly Bean... any ideas on how to get around that?

there is an entitlement check in settings storage, looks like there is a way to hack it by editing sql database for settings storage. trying to find an easier fix....
Edit: delete /system/app/MotorolaSettingsProvider.apk and odex and replace with this: http://www.mediafire.com/?e5o6pgju49d0tih (deodexed apk only, no odex file)
wipe data and cache and it might just work. NOTE: wiping data and cache is mandatory.
Confirmed working, and this hack should also work for any stock JB based rom.
edit: it works but deodexing the apk seems to be be causing FCs ,I'll try injecting the modified resources into the odexed apk later

Look for sqleditor in the market, scroll down to settings (the icon with the wrench), settings, then change line 66 'entitlement_check' from a 1 to a 0, and reboot. Built-in hotspot will work

this is a zip of the odexed apk and odex with new resource injected. tether works and no more FC's, no sql editing necessary.
these can be added to the zip beofre flashing, or pushed to /system/app/

i have a debloated mostly deblurred version almost ready to go if anyone is interested.
todo:
strip out the blur framework files and whatever else is useless.
better tether icon in settings.
mod overlaysettingsprovider settings to not try setting up deleted apks, and set sensible launcher defaults.
replace blur phone/telephonyprovider (this will require resigning all platform/system apks and fixes from hashcode's build for telephony stack)
done:
browser - aosp 4.1.2
camera/gallery gapps version
calendar aosp 4.1.2
removed lots of bloat, and everything available on market.
modded build.prop to make vvm from market work, deleted blur version.
removed entitlement check so tether works.
restored aosp settings icons.
added aosp launcher, works good but has issues with webtop.
Would 'smart actions' work with the de-blurred version if I restored from a Ti backup?
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
I noticed two problems:
- at boot pin is not required
- battery count is wrong
Can be they solved?
The original JB OTA brought the phone to version 98.72.8. It's now trying to install an update 98.72.16 - do you have this update integrated into a flashable file yet?
edit:
Never mind, I grabbed the file from your 2nd link now, and I see that it's 98.72.18. Would be good to just edit the original post and change the link there, so other folks don't go thru the trouble of downloading the old image first, like I did.
Of all the different Blur JB versions out there, this is the only one that wouldn't boot loop or result in a black screen. Granted my Stock ROM slot is still on an ICS version, so I'm sure that is the main problem.
I'm too lazy to want to SBF my stock ROM slot so this is a great alternative for now. Thanks!
Yeah, same here, the other ones I tried would just bootloop.
I'm still not convinced I want to stay with it. I like the "Sleep Mode" option in the powerdown menu in ICS. Also, this one spontaneously reboots on my at random times, I have yet to notice any actual trigger for that.

This works great on my tablet BTW. Thanks!
Hmmm looks like I might be the first one to try this out. I'm downloading now and I'll report back when it's finished.
Update: Installed the ROM and immediately hit the Play Store. Tried to add an existing Google account but it caused a reboot. Right now I'm stuck on the calculator since I have no nav buttons
Update 2: Tried to enable Wifi, got another reboot.
I'm going back to my stock ROM slot for now, being unable to use the Nav buttons makes this a bit difficult.
Installed and working perfectly. So far everything but gmail works, and works really well. thanks Cpasjuste.

Just tried it. ( Restoring data, flashing the zip).
I can see my apps from my stock ROM so I know the data restore was successful. I'm still missing the nav bar and Play Store still results in a reboot.
EDIT: Just tried it a second time and it seems to be working.
So unlike your flashable zip for the stock firmware this ROM gets rid of the Amazon Video App correct. Amazon video has Prime Instant Video Offline Downloading and that is a killer feature for me. Anyway to sideload that stock APK and have it work?
Here's a video of the end result

It does say it removes ALL Amazon background services, so, Sideloading probably will not work, at least not enough for the app to recognize this as a Kindle.

I use Nova launcher and long press works fine. Hungry Shark Evo always starts upside down for me but I guess unlock rotation lock, get it right then relock and it's fine. It's a pain but works. Only that game does that to me so far. Not sure why...
Soooo.... I installed and this was working OK, but random reboots. So I went ahead and wiped dalvik. Now I've got a bootloop. Is there a way to access safestrap?

The screen flip only happens in landscape mode, not portrait.
Temporary work around is turn on the "lock orientation" in the notification area (left most button), then it won't flip.
A slightly better work around is smart-rotator app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rotator_t&hl=en
Turn on fix orientation for the apps you want to "fix".
