Operator logo/libril-qc-1.so

[Guest Len Ash]

Puzzled. Paul's R11 (and previous) 2.2 ROMs all display "giffgaff" fine. JJ8/9 displays the "Telefonica blah blah". So I pushed Paul's libril-qc-1.so to /lib in JJ9. Now says "O2-UK". Fine, but what else is different such that one file will display correctly in one ROM and the SAME file won't in another ROM? I'm missing something - not the end of the world at all, but I need closure!

just edit libril-qc-1.so file.

*JJ7 also displays Telefonica blah blah

i have tried your tip

changed nothing

orange f is displayed yet

should be Virgin Mobile

sudo ./adb push libril-qc-1.so /lib

Hexedits on the file per each carrier is not really the best solution.

The question is what files can be reused from Paul's R11 without having to resort to such hacks.

Not quite what I was after - I have used That-Guy's edited file, but it is a fudge (not in a derogatory way!).

I'm trying to understand why Paul's Froyo file, when installed, displays one thing, but when that file is used in JJ9, soemthing else is displayed... why is the question.

When you open Paul's Froyo file in hex can you find both giffgaff and telefonica blah blah? Why not extract libril-qc-1.so from Jap and BeyondCompare it with the one from Paul's Froyo?

Done that already. Even if I hex edit the JJ file to reflect Paul's, it won't display it... There are many differences between the files though, not just the LUT.

[Guest hecatae]

I've added the libril-qc-1.so to the NewMMS.zip located here http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-fixed-sms-app/

and flashed with clockwork NewMMS.zip

worked fine for me, saved hex editing

wont work with clockwork 3.0.0.5 at present, will upload a 3.0.0.5 compatible later today

3.0.0.5 compatible is here NewMMS_CLK3.zip

Ok, I've done the libril-qc-1.so mod on JJ RLS8 ROM and now have 'giffgaff' on the lockcreen but it's not hard right on the screen where it was under my Seb04 2.1 ROM.

Call me picky, but I'd like to get the 'giffgaff' in the correct place, flush on the right. Here's the relavent lines in the modded libril-qc-1.so;

000ae410h: 63 61 20 45 75 72 6F 70 65 00 00 00 52 61 69 6C ; ca Europe...Rail

Can I just remove the spaces after giffgaff and put them before it or will that screw something else up?

Another puzzling thing is I can't seem to find an entry for 'giffgaff' in the libril-qc-1.so from Seb's 2.1 ROM but that ROM had been displaying it fine.

Also the modded libril-qc-1.so in this thread is 880 Kb, larger than the 877 Kb in Seb's 2.1 version, shouldn't they by exactly the same?

Thanks for any guidance here....

take the libril-qc-1.so from Seb's 2.1 rom and insert it into the JJ rom, the above libril-qc-1.so in the NewMMS.zip is from the MCR 2.1 rom

they should not be exactly the same size as they are from different original roms.

MCR 2.1 is based on Orange V1.0.0B05 ROM

Sebs 2.1 is based on Orange V1.0.0B08 ROM

on my libril-qc-1.so file (JJ7) I copied to sd and edited on my PC. Basically keep replacing Telefonica o2 UK Limited with spaces. In my file there were 3 rows, therefore in the last row I added GiffGaff. This has aligned it to the right.

Being really picky if you navigate to Settings -- About phone -- Status you will see that Giffgaff is not aligned to the left. Not sure whether there is another file to be edited.

thanks hecatae i used this and my phone now shows o2 uk, but i am on tesco. how can i easily change it?

Thanks, ....do you mind pasting in the relevant lines in here so I can see how it looks?

thanks hecatae i used this and my phone now shows o2 uk, but i am on tesco. how can i easily change it?

just check a couple of threads and noticed a few Tesco customers stating the network name is O2-UK on their Blade.

if you dont want to quick dirty hex edit like redbaron51 suggests, I'll find a libril-qc-1.so from a Android that Tesco sells and compare the differences, might be able to do a straight swap, might not and have to add the changes myself, would need to be a 2.1 or 2.2 source

though seeing as Tesco and O2-UK are the same length you could just hex edit at present

I tried the libril-qc-1.so from Seb's 2.1 ROM r8 also but it just gives me 'O2-UK'. Bizarre really as i had 'giffgaff' under the r4 version Seb's 2.1 ROM even though it's not in the libril file from that ROM. Maybe the giffgaff SIM overwrote some ROM system file the first time I put it in the phone?

Name change hack aside, I wonder if this is related to a specific ril library in isolation - since copying a single library between differing roms doesn't solve the problem. Normally, the virtual name for the operator are held on the SIM card (known as an EONS), the GSM standard defines how it should be used and how to map the operator name to the virtual one on the SIM card. This allows for the introduction of new virtual operators without having to upgrade phone firmware.

However, differing markets adopt differing approaches when virtual operator names: some markets for example don't use virtual operator names and others map them in a different way (using timezone lookup features, for example in continental Europe).

It may be that the Chinese/Japanese source of these ROMS do not include the ability to lookup the EONS on the SIM cards.

I suspect what is needed is a working ril set of libraries and probably the ril daemon from a UK rom (stock 2.1?), and the ril settings in the build.prop (e.g. the ril nitz and plnm settings) to test on a 2.2 image (to see if it is compatible). However, any ril fixes/features introduced in the 2.2 version will be lost with this approach.

[Guest Panita]

OK success!... following the advice of redbaron51, my lockscreen is now sorted with 'gaffgaff' in the right place.

Here's what the libril-qc-1.so looks like;

REMOVED (The formatting here did'nt work so more confusing than helpful)

Jason Patrick: Interesting and that's what i suspected. Perhaps then a quicker solution to this issue would be to just take out and reinstall the SIM after a power cycle) to update the virtual operator name?

do you need it from a zte blade or another msm7227 cpu handset?

[Guest Len Ash]

do you need it from a zte blade or another msm7227 cpu handset?

So, what's the sum of all the above? Clearly the libril-qc-1 file isn't the only thing that affects what's displayed, and it also looks like the JJ 2.2 ROMs (unlike Seb's and Paul's 2.2s) are alone in correctly displaying opertor names...?

It also therefore appears that the JJ ROM doesn't "read" the SIM data.

I lost the plot with MMS.apk? Is it from a 2.1 ROM or?

Any further thoughts?

TIA
