Wi-Fi Fix for CyanogenMod 7 for all builds. *Now with flashable zip*

---

All credit goes to ASASlide

This is a possible fix for the wi-fi issues that plagues some users that use CM7. Well thanks to a great guy, ASASlide, a fix has been found. This is his steps.


1. Download the Salsa Slide Beta rom (4.0 has worked best for me).
2. Download the cm7 rom of choice (I'm on ver 133 of the nightlies currently).
3. Open each rom zip file in separate windows with your favorite zip file manager.
4. Navigate in each window to /system/etc/wifi. You will notice the cm7 directory has fewer files, plus a subdirectory called "softap".
5. Notice the files in the cm7 wifi directory. Overwrite all of these with the files of the same names from the Salsa Slide Beta window.
6. In the cm7 window, now navigate into the "softap" directory.
7. Notice the files in the cm7 softap directory. Overwrite these with the files of the same names from the Salsa Slide Beta window.
8. Save the modified cm7 zip file, and flash to the Slide.

You will have to repeat the process for each new cm7 version you want to flash.

Same disclaimer as usual. No one is responsible if your phone dies.

If this thread is a nuisance or you want to make new people to look through tons of posts on the nightly thread, please PM me, I will tell a mod to remove this thread right away.

Fix attached on this post-the wifi fix in a nice, handy, simple .zip file that can be flashed in clockworkMOD v2.5.0.7. I need help with the edify scripting if you guys want it for clockworkMOD v3.0.0.5

I was just abut to do this last week, but with CM6 and CM7.
Good job though, although "ASASlide" should have posted this thread.

I can confirm this works!

I emailed him and got his permission. It seems that he wasn't planning to post it or make a new thread. I'm glad I came across him or who knows...I would still be crying about broken wi-fi

It's alright.

I'm also wondering why there is so little views/replies. It seems alot of people was complaining about Wi-Fi.

Very appreciative of you and your efforts. I'm sure this fix will help a lot of others out there left in the wifi-less dark. However, I think I'm one of the very few where my CM7 (Or CM6) wifi isn't broken

Just wanna let everyone know 1st start-up takes long on the "cyanogen 7" screen.

Much more longer than normal.

I get that all the time when I flash a new nightly. Well I flashed a new nightly when I first tried the fix.

Also I'm in the process of making an update.zip for the fix. Just testing it out to see if I actually got the update-script right

Can't flash it in ClockworkMod v.3.0.0.5. I signed it using Amend scripting and now with edify scripting. Help?

EDIT: Ok so I put the update.zip for ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and ran that from ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5. I flashed the zip but got an error

SDCARD:wifi-fix-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E: Syntax error in update script Installation aborted.

I'm using this update-script

show_progress 0.1 0

coy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: should be "copy" darn typo

show_progress 0.2 10


and there is a blank space after the final line. Any help will be great.



Found my mistake... I bolded it for you guys so you can laugh at me.

I think GPS in CM7 is the bigger problem for me. Wifi is ok, maybe a little bit worse than other ROM like Salsa Slide, but acceptable. I am looking for a GPS fix for CM7 but thanks anyway for the efforts with this fix.

Thanks for posting this... i was reluctant to flash any nightly because of the wifi issue... i will now.. thanks again!
