Faster WIFI for X8 - Standard enabling

The modification by Graveir.

So far tested on: miniCM RC1, CM7 RC4

To work!

1. We go to /system/etc/firmaware directory and find files named:
Code:

/etc/firmware/fm_rx_init_1273.2.bts
/etc/firmware/fm_tx_init_1273.2.bts
/etc/firmware/fmc_init_1273.2.bts
2. Are they there? Good, don't touch them. Are they not there? Well, it's a pity, you won't get 5GHz band :P

3. Go back to /system/etc and find a file named tiwlan.ini
    NOTE: In CM7 based ROMs the path may be /system/etc/wifi
4. Look for the following lines:
Code:
HT_Enable=0                                           #0=diable 802.11n support / 1=Enable
BurstModeEnable = 0                                   # 0 - Disabled  1 - Enabled
WiFiAdhoc = 0
     and change them into:
Code:
HT_Enable=1                                           #0=diable 802.11n support / 1=Enable
BurstModeEnable = 1                                   # 0 - Disabled  1 - Enabled
WiFiAdhoc = 1
5. This stage is for people who have files from step 1!
    Look for the line:
Code:
Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 0
     and change it into
Code:
Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 1
6. Save, reboot.

Troubleshooting: If after enabling your wifi keeps disconnecting, or you get the "connecting" bug, go to settings->networks->wifi, erase all remembered networks and reboot.

Disclamer: if you crush your wifi or brick your phone, I'm not responsible for it.

5GHz band and AdHoc features need testing to prove they work, N standard 100% working.
Also, I've been told that each ROM has different tiwlan file - if it's so, then we need custom zip for each ROM available.

Enjoy, X8 users!
