[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Really? this one installs right from the SD card for me, just by tapping it from within Root Explorer, and then clicking "install". It installed to data/app. Oh well, I don't know wtf is going on with it. It works perfectly for me, lol. I know this wasn't even your problem or issue to start with, but it has me perplexed. Lol. I want to know why the heck I'm the only one that has wireless tether working on CM7 and other AOSP roms. Do you have those android.tether folders on your sd card? containing the .bin file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Though it starts up and says binaries configured, there is no folder on my sdcard or system folder for it. :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Weird. Although I have no idea if that .bin file has anything to do with anything (why would it be on my sd card? and not in the /system somewhere?), it is odd that I have it there. I don't know why this is bugging me so much, haha, it just is. I want to figure out what is different with wireless tether on my phone, than everyone elses.

I attatched some screen caps of that folder and bin file in my sd card. i also uploaded the .bin file, in case you want to try anything with it. I had to add a .zip to the end to upload it, so just remove the .zip.

Sorry to be dragging this out. I guess I'm just bored today, and confused about this situation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, I created an android.tether, placed the .bin file in there. Started it up, it started with errors, but it didn't hang on the please wait screen forever. Going to uninstall, reboot, then reinstall and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Success. That worked. It had to be the lack of the binary folders, and for some reason, its not creating the binary folder on AOSP roms.

I think you should post your binary file in the general section. I would, but I don't want the credit since this was all you here man.

Edit: NOW thinking about that, I think it may be because when you were on VaelPak, it created the binary folder, so when you flashed back, you already had it set, which would be why it worked on Salvage mode for ya.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
AWESOME! It worked. So what exactly were your steps? You created the android.tether folder on the sd card, put the binary file in there, then rebooted?

I wonder how I ended up with that binary on my sd card, and why it's lacking on other peoples setups?:confused:

I will post in the general section, just let me know your exact steps, so I can post it with details, on how you got it going.

EDIT: You're theory about using it on VaelPak rom is most likely correct. It prob created the file then, and it's remained all along. Which version of wireless tether did you use? The vaelpak version, or just the regular one? The regular one works for me, as does the vaelpak one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It beat us individually, but got roflstomped with our combined powers. :p

My steps in order:

1. Created android.tether folder on root of sdcard [case sensitive]

2. Placed the binary file inside android.tether folder

3. Uninstall current app of wireless tether

4. Rebooted phone [since it messes up your wifi when it doesn't work]

5. Install the vaelpak modified tether you gave me

6. Open and run app; no problems, started successfully

Edit: I would assume it'd work without the modified vaelpak version, but I think it was more importantly the lack of the binary file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Okay, cool. Thanks. I never realized other people had trouble getting wireless tether to work on aosp, cuz it's worked for me for a while. If you think that this is a common problem amongst other people, I will definitely create a thread in general section, and I'll post the binary file and vaelpak's wireless tether app, and instructions, per your steps. I'll copy and paste that and make note of our combined efforts to figure it out. lol. :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Lawlz, yea, a lot of people have trouble with it on aosp roms, formerly myself included, but yes, I think a good number of people could benefit from this. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
i dont know what your talking about, my hotspot is useing the wimax.... also to answer the problem for the original post, you are useing "

wireless"

tether, this will not work for everyone on a gingerbread based rom. you need

wifi

tether, you can find it by going to the app market, searching for wireless tether, go to developers website, then go to downloads and you can find it here. NOTE this still may not always work, gingerbread is built differeently so sometimes the "hotspot" will rewrite the tether app. when you turn of the "wifi" tehter (it is yellow) the hotspot will come on... ignore the hotspot, if you mess with it it will shut down everything...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can have 4G on, but the native hot spot in CM7 will only tether 3G speeds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
ok maybe i dont understand something, but im on cm7, when i use the hotspot with wimax on im pulling 4 to 8 mbs so i really dont get what your talking about.... alos 3g sucks where i am it is .5 mbs at best
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can pull that on the phone while being on wimax, but the tethered device is only going to get 3G speeds is what I'm saying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
ok sorry im not trying to sound like a a$$, but what are you talking about ? my evo is connected to wimax, my comp is tethered to the phone i run speed test on comp and the comp to pulling 4 to 10 mbs depending on the area, usually 4 to 6 range.. 3 g is really bad in my area again it is at best half a mbs at best... so i really dont know what your talking a bout that the comp cant use the 4g signal...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Odd. When I use the native hotspot feature, and try to tether with wimax connected I only get 400kbs at the computer. When I switch to wireless tether app, I get full blast at over 7mbs down.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
dont know what to say im on cm7 and the wifi tether doesnt work for me so i just stuck with the hotspot.... i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but i also pay the 30 bucks for the hotspot.. decided i didnt want any issues down the road since i use this as my home internet.... also dont believe everything that the sales people say, one told me that when i have th hotspot on i could recieve calls or txt or email... they are wrong my hotspot is on and i talk and do everything as normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well, I would say its either because you pay the 30 a month, or teh roxxor and I are mistaken, and 4g works on the native tethering feature, and it just doesn't work on our phones for some reason. Maybe the kernel I'm on messes with it. Either way, I like the wireless tether app better for various reasons, and it works good for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
i completely agree that he wireless tether is better than the hotspot, i like the ability to only allow what devices i want to connect to the phone.. im paying the 30 bucks cause im useing the evo as a replacment for my internet... and i dont want any issues
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
on a side note anyone here on cm7 stable and have savaged zen kernel?

im having issues that when im connected to wimax and i try to use either the phones bowser or dolphin hd, the data seems to "hang up" the pages wont finish loading, when im on wifi no issues. i already reflashed everything used different kernel releases, and they all do the same. and netarchy causes screen tearing, i already looked for answers but couldnt find any and xda is blocking me from posting in the development forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It seems to me that that issue occurs with all of the SZ builds. It's happening to me too. It doesn't seem to happen on the stock CM kernel that comes with the ROM. The bottom line is that Wimax is not yet perfect on AOSP roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
yeah the cm7 kernel and tiamat i have no problems with, but.... savaged zen and netarcrhy are so much faster.. netarchy seemed to give me the best speed vs power drain. too bad about the screen tearing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
ok i have a correction... wimax speeds while on the stock hotspot works on cm7 stable, but on nightly 51 at least it will not work... you get "3g speeds" 1 to 2 mbs, i downloaded the wireless tether experimental and now get 4g speeds tethered. however just to throw out there, the "wifi" tether doesnt seem to work well with the cm nightly 51...

How i can change keyboard on Nexus ROM for X8
[XPERIA X8 General] Slvrback:
I use better keyboard dude, find it on the market
[XPERIA X8 General] ClaudioNid:
you can change it by parameters, no?
[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
if you have another keyboard/s already installed, then go to settings->language and keyboard. mark the one that you want to use, then go to SMS app, make a long click (i mean hold your finger there for a while) on a blank space where you write text, and a popup "input method" should appear. choose the one you like, and enjoy your new keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] feicipet:
Hi,

My girlfriend just flew over to the states for a visit. I loaned her my Nexus One running CM7 and she just loaded a Simple Mobile SIM on it, with 3G and all.

In the Simple Mobile FAQ, it's stated that tethering is not allowed. Can I presume that this just means that the phones Simple Mobile provides have tethering disabled? My Nexus One is running CM7 and tethering is definitely enabled on it. So by right, if she just enables tethering on it, she should be able to use it. Unless Simple Mobile has something that can detect a NAT'd connection and blocks it server-side, which I'm not sure is possible or not.

Anyone knows?

Thanks!

Wong
[General Questions and Answers] arbee322:
Quick answer = apparently they can detect when a phone is being used as a tether. I'm not sure how yet, but aim to find out.

And apparently it's not just Simple Mobile phones. I'm using a TMOUSA HTC HD2 running CM7 using wireless tethering app from the market. SM txt'd me today saying I was at risk of my data plan being suspended due to violation of SM's Terms and Conditions.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Every carrier is doing this. Tethering is not allowed without a plan for it. Not alot you can do about it.

[HTC 7 Pro] GuestK00306:
Hi Guys,

Just picked up a brand new HTC 7 Pro to replace my Omnia 7 so I can get all the hacking goodness offered by a HTC handset :)

The only problem I'm having with it is the speed of the OS. Everything is really slow and choppy. Something that was like butter on the Omnia.

I understand the Omnia is using NAND rather than SD card for the OS, but simple gestures like scrolling up/down the home screen & list of apps are slow. And there is a noticible performance lag during the animation when clicking on an app (e.g. Settings) and when swiping left to right on a pivot.

I've updated the handset to Nodo and removed all the live tiles - even put it into flight mode - and I'm still having the same issue.

Anybody else have the same problem on theirs? Would replacing the stock SD card make a difference?
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
I know this won't be much help, but my htc arrive seems pretty smooth. Then again, I've never owned an Omnia 7 so whatever perceived differences there are I wouldn't know.

On the matter of the SD card, it's possible it could and you could always try, but my guess is that the latency and seek times would be so small in differences as to be roughly the same.
[HTC 7 Pro] GuestK00306:
Thanks Scott. Thing is,its not always slow. A lot of the time it is perfect but the other day I was downloading pes2011 from the marketplace and I went to check my email - this was when it was at its worst. The animation to the home screen took about 3 seconds to complete! Once the download had finished, even during install, it was perfect again.

That's why I thought it may be an SD card issue. And believe me, if yours was doing what mine is, you would notice it :)

Sent from my 7 Pro T7576 using Board Express
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Oh well if that's the case maybe replacing the sd card would be worth a try because now it sounds more like a real issue.
[HTC 7 Pro] shezza84:
Hey, I kind of know where you are coming from. Ill tell you that the performance on mine was smooth as can be. Though a month later... not so much anymore. I have a feeling it has to do with programs installed. I would be pretty sure a hard reset would cure it!

As for changing the SD card. I have read a lot into this. Doesnt seem like anyone has found a card that works faster than the current one, just higher capacity ones.

Having read how different cards work in different phones, you cant just go for a high class one and expect it to work. The SanDisk 32gb Class 2 is the best spoken for upgrade on our phone. Wont do much if anything for speed though. There is 2 threads on it if you can be bothered reading into it. But I summed it up for you ;)
[HTC 7 Pro] GuestK00306:
Thanks for this! Funny enough, it's stopped being a major issue on my phone. I have a feeling it's because I didn't give it a full charge when I took it out of the box.

Once I charged it til the LED was green, things seem to be very smooth again. From time to time, doing a large amount of downloading will slow it down but not as bad as it was before.

Obviously, I'm still going to change the SD card for the 32Gb ;)
[Trophy General] porkovich:
Hello all,

i am sure someone has allready asked the same question, but the search is not working atm. so i will post the question.

Is the Screen on the Trophy Gorilla glass ? Many web sites claim it is , the most forums tell it's not ? Is it scratch ressistant, somehow. I bought one yesterday and the package does not include any screen protection. With my old Diamond 2 there was one.

DO i need to buy one for the Trophy ... they have negative effect on the screen performance, mostly, and i don't want to use them, but if the phone can be scratched than i will go for one .

Any one ?

Thanks !

[Trophy General] colossus_r:
Trophy has Gorilla Glass.Period ...

Its in the htc specs...why anyone tell thas its not ???
[Trophy General] Avandor:
For Gorilla Glass, it does scratch very easily... 2 scratches on mine already, one of them is pretty big.
[Trophy General] porkovich:
Actually, if you read carefully what gorilla glass is, you are going to see it does not include a non scratching surface. It's a very robust glass, that's all, hard to break, but it can be scratched. It's does not have the protective layer of the Iphone screen. So a shield is required.
[Trophy General] AceofSpades25:
It is actually supposed to be more resistant to scratches:

"Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. It’s thin, cool to the touch, and cleans easily – making it the perfect solution for sleek, seamless designs. And it’s sensitive enough to enable today’s most sophisticated touch applications."

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/innovating-with-gorilla
[Trophy General] downloaderintruder:
the trophy is Gorilla Glass, and Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant. You may not need a screen protector for it but if you`re like me, like super protective, I bought a cheap silicon cover for the phone with cheap screen guard protector. The protector itself covers up the whole screen, that includes that capacitive buttons and its so awesome! now I dont need to worry about wet fingers touching on it.
[Trophy General] Avandor:
For Gorilla Glass, it scratches way too easily.

A month after buying the Trophy forgot I had the phone in my pocket and dropped the car keys in there. When I got to the car had a huge scratch starting from the HTC logo and working its way down (2 fingers length more or less). Pretty deep too.

I've always misstreated my phones, but in many years and countless HTC's, this was the first one to ever scratch.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atsavlis:
Hey guys, I have searched high and low and can't find anything related to my problem. I have decided to switch my HD2 over from mw to android, and I have hit a wall.

I know exactly the procces of how it should be done, but my problem is this:

My volume rocker key is broken, and unfortunately I have no way of navigating through magldr to do the required steps, thus do NAND flashing for me.

My question is this, does anyone know of any other way to get it done, maybe using adb?? And if it's possible, where can I find the command lines to do it?? Is there any alternate method of flashing to NAND on the HD2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Do this downloadcLK, also download Google Android drives. Finally download the ROM you want, but make sure you downloadcthe cLK version of the ROM.

Now create 3 folders on your desktop as that will be the easiest place to find them. I know these are gineric names but it is to help make it easier for you. Name one folder cLK, one folder Android drivers, and on folder Android ROM.

Next extract the contents from the cLK. zip file to the cLK folder, extract the contents of the Google Android drivers .zip file to the Android drivers folder, and finally extract the contents of the ROM .zip file to the Android ROM folder.

Now boot your HD2 into bootloader and connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then open the cLK folder and right click on the custom RUU and select run as administrator. When cLK is done flashing your HD2 will reboot but do not unplug the USB cable yet.

If you are running Windows 7 the Android USB drivers should auto install. But if not go to device manager in the control panel and find your HD2, it should be listed as "Android phone". If it is not dropped down from the main device list then click on it to make it drop down. Then right click on the dropped down icon and select update drivers, then select from computer in the pop up window, then find the Android drivers folder and click done. This should install the USB drivers for your HD2 and you should see "processing fastboot commands on your HD2 screen.

Now open your Android ROM folder and find the. img file and right down the name of it. Then go to start menu on your computer and in run or search type in CMD. If you have to type it into search go up to the top of the start menu window and click on the CMD icon that will be there, if you typed it into run just hit enter.

Now in the comand promt box that CMD brought up type in this command.

cd C:\Android ROM then hit enter, next type

fastboot flash (the name of the .img file you wrote down).img leave the (&) out but type the name of the img file in including the .img. This should flash the ROM. Next type

fastboot reboot and your HD2 should reboot and boot into your Android ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
But it will be impossible to get into bootloader with a broken volume rocker though right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah of the volume down part of the volume rocker is not working you can not getconto bootloader. But if they still have Windows Mobile on their phone they can install either Touch Tools or Anistasia's End Key to their HD2 and get to bootloader that way. Both of these apps allow you to access the bootloader via the touch screen, they just run the bootloader.exe is all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atsavlis:
Thank you for all your help. I am stuck with one problem...

Any roms that I have download that are cLK roms, have only 3 files in them.... a boot.img file, META-INF folder, and system folder....

In the last bit of information you gave me, you tell me to flash the .img file that I find in my android rom folder... in my case, is that the boot.img file?? what happens to the other 2 folders that are in the rom zip (META-INF and system)

Thanks once again for all your help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
L

Hmmmm that is a good question. To be honest I amcreally not sure as I am going on information I haveclearned from my research. I know the boot.img is what you want to type in the command I told you about. I also think thatcwhen you usecthat command it flashes that img and the other files to cause you have to type in the directory of the folder they are I'm first (the cd C:\Adroid ROM). Also I know this the boot.img is the kernel and the system folder is the Android system. I don't know what the META-INF file is to be honest. But I have asked and been told that following what I instructed above will flash a ROM.
