RIL DATABASE

GetRIL comes bundled with a database. Because I don't want you to stick with a static database I've implemented a RIL server and in-app database updates for GetRIL. This means that I can add new RILs, change oddities and make other changes to the database directly on my server. By a hit on the 'Update database' button you'll be sure to have the latest RIL information. I tend to make updates daily, based on feedback from you, manufacturers and forums.

This approach make it easier for me to keep the RIL database up-to-date, at the same time GetRIL provides a better service for you, my dear users.

When opening the GetRIL it'll check the database's age. If it's older than a week the app will try to auto-update the database. Like previously said, you can also choose to manually update the database by hitting the action bar button 'Update database'. Make sure to do this before submitting a "unknown RIL".

HELP SECTION

Found an error or issue in the RIL database?
Here's where I need you help. If you find an error or an issue with the database it's important that you contact me. Please send the report to me via e-mail, a PM here on XDA or write within this thread.

RIL showing up as 'Unknown'?
First of, make sure your app's database is up-to-date. If the database is fresh and you're still presented with the same message: Please contact to me, providing as much details as possible. From the app itself you're able to attach your "unknown" RIL and email it to me. The app also prompts you for certain details (flash status for baseband, RIL and what region you're device is from). You can also try writing in this thread. I'll be around

Unable download a RIL?
If it ain't because of you there might be issues related to my ISP. Please cross your fingers my ISP haven't pulled the cable permanently and retry to download the requested RIL at a later point.

The system partition can't be mounted as writable?
Make sure you've got a current version of Busybox installed on your device.

HELP ME!?

RIL database
It's really important that you contact me if you find any errors or oddities within GetRIL. Physically I've only touched some of the supported devices, so sadly I can't assure you that everything is working out as planned (especially not from day one when adding support for a new device). That might be RILs flagged as compatible isn't, spelling mistakes, pure bugs etc.. If you find anything, don't hesitate to contact me and in return I'll love you a little more. Sounds like a good deal?

Translations
GetRIL has been localized in a bunch of languages, thanks to the community. I can't validate all the translations, sentences and or words, so if there's anything odd about a certain translation, please let me know about it. If you can't seem to find the language you're looking for, feel free to help me out translating GetRIL to this language. Some translations is outdated (since I tend to update descriptions etc. within GetRIL between versions).

Want to help me out?
Navigate to http://sibbor.nu/getril/ and follow the instructions found there, together with the current statuses for all the supported languages and their respective strings.xml file.
