Good news guys.
Following an adwise of another user, I reinstalled the ROM again but performed deep system clean, namely: wipe/factory reset "to install new ROM" (recovery formats /data, /cache and /system partitions) and (important!) format sdcard0 (I've chose ext4, don't know if it's correct or not).
After that, network/modem issue for my E120L is gone. Network is working for now.

Mobile standby

Hi again Socin,

One day using your rom and battery consumption on mobile standby really got my attention.

Where I live we dont have a good cell signal, and inside the house almost zero.

Even though, I was not used to have so much of battery drain because of it using SVNRom 1.7.

((( Attached sceen shot )))

Thx for your work!

Hi Socim,

How can I apply the stock theme? Sorry but I didn't like the "hell" theme...

Thx!

BTW, although I love hellkat special features I don't like the red theme as well, but I don't have time to change it...

I have almost no idea. Probably you can put 2G/3G switch to quick settings panel, then turn the device to 2G mode once you don't need to surf the internet.

the rom gotten even more better with the latest update, but the same echo sound that the 1st time appeared in CM10 while making phone calls appeared again in the latest build, i don't know whether i'm the only one facing that issue or it's a bug, another one is that i can't seem to install big sized apps downloaded from the market, they don't start and i get error, as for the battery life it's good as well as everything else i believe..

About the network you are saying. You mean the 3g disconnect issue is solved?

My 3g is disconnecting every time when I am using the data, it disconnects and connects all the time. Is there any fix for that?

My issue was the absense of network at all after the ROM installation.
As for the 3G disconnects, I'm not sure because I had no network connection before. Now it works regardless of using voice/data. The latest baseband is flashed.

What is the default filesystem for E120 internal memory (sdcard0)?
FAT32 is the factory default FS, but I prefer exfat if you still need to transfer files in mass storage mode with Windows.

Ext4 is a good choice since it is a journaling file system, it reduce the risk of data loss/corruption. Please don't try to format it as NTFS, though it is also a supported journaling file system.

Please note stock ROMs will format it to fat32 again without notice, so, back up your data before flash back to any stock ROM.

Hmm. I formatted sdcard0 to ext4 but it looks like any programs are unable to write data on it. Even camera app asks to insert sdcard first. There's no any data on it excepting /clockworkmod and /lost+found folders.
Should I reformat it to fat32 (or ext2 probably), or is there a way to go with ext4 correctly?

Try:
Code:
su
chmod -R 666 /storage/sdcard0

Things getting even more weird. Using CWM recovery, I formatted sdcard0 to ext2 with no effect. Tried to reformat it back to ext4 - failed (unable to format sdcard0). So, I'v chose to format to "default" option which was successfully completed. After reboot, I got that "no network" effect back. Great, lol.

There's something to do with sdcard0 filesystem obviously (or its permissions at least). I have no idea where to step now.
Is there something to fix in ROM in this regard?

Try:
Code:
su
chmod -R 666 /storage/sdcard0
Tried it before (with ext4) and it gave me "unable to chmod ... read-only file system" error.

Try mount it as mass storage then format it as exfat under Windows or ext4 under Linux.

Heh. Tried it but never succeeded. The phone is getting self reboots everytime but before the operation is completed. Now it seems that I lost sdcard0 because the partition is gone and it's even impossible to format it via recovery.
Probably adb could help, but I have no experience on this.

Is it possible to mount the phone as mass storage under recovery? Go to the mount menu and find the last item.

The things I did before were done under recovery really. This was a mistake as I take it now.
So, currently trying to get into adb shell parted things to recover sdcard0 partition back.

But yes, operations I perfomed before were made under CWM recovery 6.0.4.5 (touchless).
