It is always best to thank a ROM OP, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".

Troubleshooting and Pulling LogCats
For anyone who isn't really comfortable pulling dmsg or last_kmsg logs from their phones needs to download and use this app: SysLog

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog

One button click and it will pull 4 logs for you and zip them all up in one small package:

dmsg
last_kmsg
logcat
Modem log

You can then get that to the dev to go through and look for errors.

D801: wireless display isn't working. The WiFi module seems to flip out half way through the connection process.

What have you done to try to fix? Have you reset your router at all? Are there any other networks you can try to connect to in order to rule out some issues? Are you still able to get Network Data if you turn off wifi? We need more info when you post these issues in order to help you.

What I am seeing is the MAC address is getting changed every reboot. I have verified this. This may be causing other issues as well with Wifi related modules.

I wonder if this would work?

For mac address:
- In /persist directory create wifi directory. In the new directory create a file named .macaddr (don't miss the dot!)
Edit the file and put 12 random hex numbers in it (0-9, A-F), save.
- Set execute and read permissions for everybody on /persist/wifi directory and change owner of .macaddr to wifi:wifi and permission to 660 (read/write for owner and group and nothing else).

In command line:
Code:

chown root:root /persist/wifi
chmod 755 /persist/wifi
chown wifi:wifi /persist/wifi/.macaddr
chmod 660 /persist/wifi/.macaddr
- run /system/bin/conn_init program. Can be run in root explorer(choose Linux Script Handler when you open it), or in adb shell:
Code:
su
/system/bin/conn_init
Then reboot and check if the changes got applied in settings

I cant get my original one back but at least I have a static MAC.

I have forgot the connection reconnected to the ssid. No change has taken place WiFi seems borked now. Will try a restart. Network data is working fine.

What model G2 do you have? I'll throw this in the OP until resolved

It is D800 AT&T. I remember Nexus 4 having a similar issue. The link I posted was a fix for that. I doubt I will get my Origional MAC back, but I did backup my EFS. So, once a fix is in place, I should be able to restore.

Oh, Thank Goodness for Reserved MAC address in my router, I was able to get my old MAC from there. So, if need be, I can change it back.

D800 mute not functioning?

Hi, thanks to everyone involved in developing this custom ROM. It generally works really well.

I wondered if someone that has an AT&T G2 and has the ROM installed could verify whether the phone mute works?

It currently highlights and acts as if it works, but doesn't actually mute the microphone.

Thanks!

sublimejosh2000 · Nov 25, 2013

AT&T D800 - GPS not working either...

Couldn't get a location in Google Maps.

FWIW, I'm able to get one without a problem.

suppliesidejesus · Nov 25, 2013

Since I have no desire to clog the enormous Dev thread, I will ask here:

Anyone know if there will be any plans to port this work over to CM11?

Mine is flawless...I had this one time on an earlier build. Flashed back to a stock nandroid, got GPS lock, then reflashed the ROM with clean install. Been perfect, accurate and fast since.

Mute button works fine for me. Just cussed out a fellow employee who heard none of it and I'm still gainfully employed!

Do you like as many options as humanly possible be stuffed into your ROM of choice?

YES! The more, the better!

NO! KISS...keep it simple stupid!

Sometimes...I like options but can always go back.

I don't care, but it lets everyone be happy.
