I once got ahold of a wifi-only app and eventually found where it was checking for wifi, and modded it to simply continue without running the check or returning the proper result.

YMMV though... apktool 1.4.2 was my weapon of choice; even though it's not officially released yet and it's not especially easy to use, it's certainly better than nothing.

Just stopping by to bump this thread a little, spending the holidays at the inlaws where wifi is less than 800kbps, but i have a nice fat 15mbps LTE connection. Yet I have to leave my phone for hours to download 600mb+ gameloft title via wifi.

I really hope to see a patch or program for this in the future.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
this another example of something that is so easy to do on iphone (tweaking) and yet so hard to do on android..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
Oh thank goodness there's somebody here to tell us Android phones suck. Thank you for visiting our lowly forum with the lofty intention of providing absolutely no help, at least you bumped this!

I'm presently using another method, which is also expensive (though not nearly as much, or as obtuse, as purchasing an iPhone)... You need two phones, though, one to view apps and the other to load from the network and serve as a wifi hotspot... Yeah.

I doubt this would be hard to do, it's just that nobody has bothered with it yet...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reizvoller:
Hello,

Well I got my hands on a Nook Color as a prize for a contest I was in, I played with the stock operating system and it did no justice for what Android is really capable of, so naturally I came here to figure out how I can change that. I'm experienced with rooting things like the HTC Incredible, HTC Thunderbolt, Droid X, and other devices so I know the basic ins and outs of how to do this and I know how to follow directions ( I learned early on to read them 3 times before really doing "Step 1" ) . I followed these instructions here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942424

They are rather straight forward and simple. Now with the Nook boots up and stalls at the "N" logo screen. Nothing happens at all. I can turn it off, start it up, and nothing happens once it gets to that screen. If at all possible please give ideas and suggestions to solve this problem. It isn't bricked ( I think ) so it should be able to be revived with a little coaxing. Thanks for your time!

Free at target for new customer or add a line. Dang I just add my daughter line with the Samsung Epic for $49.99 which I thought was a good deal, oh well she's happy with her Epic. But dang free for the Evo is a steal IMHO.

[EVO 4G General] Drachen808:
Ok, so I have a question....

I added my wife's best friend to our plan about 2.5 weeks ago and she got the Nexus S. She hates it (reception issues). She is going to return it and get the Evo 4g (my wife has this phone, and so she knows it works and likes it). I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to return it to the sprint store, then go get the evo from best buy (LOL). This way, she gets 200 dollars back and has to pay 0.

The only way I can think of is to cancel the line altogether, then open a new line at BB, but she just started giving that new number to everyone and I don't think she wants to go through it again.
[EVO 4G General] daprospecta:
So if I have an upgrade I can go get a free evo? My brother has been wanting me to flash my evo to cricket and sell it to him and get another Evo. I won't be getting the 3d anytime because I have a tablet now and the EVO does enough for me. Don't see the point in having a really nice 7 inch tablet and really nice evo3d.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
I have successfully ported ClockworkMod for Galaxy Ace.

Almost everything is working, including flashing boot and recovery images and full backup and restore.

TO-DO List:

Build flashable zip for Froyo.

Fix power-off (as it does a full power off, until you keep pressed power button, then it gets back to recovery).

Try to make a unified version for Froyo and Gingerbread basebands.

Get official support (already notified Koush).

Changelog:

Alpha

Initial release

Beta

Custom kernel with ext4 support (for Froyo and Gingerbread versions).

USB Mass Storage Mode fixed (need's testing on Gingerbread).

All Ace versions should work (using proper build).

Gamma

Fixed reboot out of recovery.

Reverted to 3.x version of CWM, as 4.x is being actively developed (breaking things).

Flashing method:

Flashable zips (currently only for Gingerbread):

Flash attached ClockworkMod-ginger-gamma-signed.zip from any recovery (stock or CWM).

ODIN (alternative method, currently only method for Froyo):

Flash attached recovery_gamma_[your version].tar from ODIN. Put Cooper.ods in proper field, and recovery in PDA field. Leave other fields blank and ignore both errors.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] manju991:
Please port it to the latest 2.3.4 and the european froyo version.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
Already in my TO-DO list. ;)

Cool... Thanks mate..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] tj_style:
you have to fixing framebuffer issue?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Bluffyone:
+1.... Instead of working separately and trying to port CWM, if you, dee000000 and PabloPL collaborate then the work would complete faster and due to the combined effort i am sure that it would be better and also save time and effort of all 3 of you.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] PabloPL:
Hi, great work. Could you share fix for graphics bug? How did you tested nandroid backup of boot/recovery? (could you test it on my CMW?).

If you want, i can send you what changes i've made, so then we would have fully working recovery for Ace.

Strange, USB Mass Storage mode is working for me (in my recovery). Didn't had to do any changes to make it working.

Edit 1:

I've fixed reboot problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] tj_style:
also strange on framebuffer. my changes on graphics.c is working good for galaxy mini.

i see in the first post the clockworkmod background is not shown in ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
THE background is working OK. I've used your fix, but I had to force 24bpp mode.

I will share my sources when I arrive home later today.

PabloPL: great! As soon as I share my sources, we can collaborate to get it working for all ace version ASAP.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] tj_style:
using my fix on github?

will be more progress if you collaborating too on porting recovery for our device.

backup & restore seems okay, but i've bricked my galaxy mini when flashing rom via update.zip. i think it's because write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"), command in update script.

are you have to testing flash update.zip on your recovery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
I've tested backup+restore. I've also tested "flash_image recovery recovery.img". Doing it from a zip shouldn't be so different.

Sharing my sources is on my original todo list since the beginning, I've just didn't have enough time.

Sources will be in http://github.com/ilarrain.

I think the fix for ace's bml flashing is already there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] tj_style:
okay, great..

we will discusing again tomorrow, I must sleep now.

btw, maybe better to converting rfs to ext4, for module, we can use from i9000 source. :)

also, better to merge your changes and PabloPL changes with ifdef, it will more easy when updating from cyanogenmod source.

you want to collaborate in my repo? i will add you and other collaborator to the project.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] PabloPL:
Looked at your changes and they looks like the same as mine, so nandroid backup for boot/recovery should also work in my sources.

Now the only think is to fix reboot loop (i thought that i've fixed it - tested with fakeflash recovery, but after flashing it wouldn't worked:/). Will look at it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] izador:
looks cool o tried it on my froyo with europe firm work great..

but like u just said once u go in recovery you will never go out :-)

nice work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:

Great!!! So we need less versions to mantain: froyo and gingerbread, no matter the ace version.

i also create a backup for recovery.img using yours tar for froyo, if some one needs it

after he tried to flash the recovery and have bootloop.

If you have bootlop in recovery, just reboot (while in adb shell)

hi there, i just want to ask...is this CWM Recovery allow me to restore nandroid from one firmware to other different firmware..for example....if i am using GingerBread now...also already do nandroid backup..and then i flashing my device to froyo...can i restore my nandroid backup and back to Gingerbread again?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] sunsys14:
Works for my s5830l too, both on froyo and on ginger. The offical 4.0.0.9 didnt work for me, so this was a awesome!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Reaver027:
Seems i made an error by installing CWM first and then Root via upd_1.zip

Getting a status 7 error when i try to apply the upd_1.zip. Is there any solution to this beside reflashing everything?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] consegregate:
You need to use the stock recovery to use the upd_1 root method. Maybe flashing the APBOOT of your firmware you can revert? That's my guess, you can try.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] Reaver027:
Not the answer i had hoped for but thanks. I am not that into flashing so i have to read up on all of that first.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] TutoWRM:
vale compadre, me funciono con la kp7 2.3.4
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ThePariah:
You're better off upgrading to Gingerbread first(if on Froyo), and then using the official 4.0.0.9 ClockworkMod recovery, rather than this. I almost bricked my Ace using the .tar for the Froyo and I followed instructions to the letter.

Just a heads up...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
Sorry to hear that.

I think that option is meant for CyanogenMod 7. Anyway, I had the same problem a while ago using unofficial CM7 for another phone (LG Optimus One).

You don't have any backup made under this recovery? If you do, then is an easy fix.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
Yes, backup and restore is working OK.

The update.zip files in the forum were made for Samsung's recovery, which is not standard. For instance, system partition is mounted at boot time. Update.zip files must be fixed in order to be used in CWM.

Hai ilarrain, I just want to confirm your Gingerbread kernel (2.6.35.7-perf-CL260130) using default config from Samsung + ext4 only? I want to build SGA kernel as close as possible to stock kernel + ext4 support but I can't access opensource.samsung.com for now. If my statement above is true, I want to use your kernel in my CF-Root adaptation project. Your kernel including the ext4 filesystem working on Gingerbread XXKPH firmware :D Thank you.

One more thing, named your firmware in "CODE_S5830XXKPH<your code>.tar.md5" format so ODIN does not display an error :)

I created a full backup of my phone.

Of course, after each time I open the CWM i must open adb shell and type the command: reboot recovery_done.

Are you sure you have installed the Froyo version of the recovery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] adil_:
Hey.... I'm new to android... But as far as my knowledge goes, using this cwm,

1. I can backup my existing rom.

2. Flash new rom directly from recovery without using odin.

3. Install .zip updates.

etc...

Am I correct?

I have flashed several roms now (kp8, kp9, kpe, kph, coderom, villainrom) using odin. So now after installing this cwm, will I be able flash these directly from recovery without using odin?

I'm now using coderomnexus. will the same gb file work for all d roms?

thanks....

I saw changes on your GitHub with bootloop fixing. When can we expect release the next version of CWM? Thank you.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] ilarrain:
1. Yes.

2. Yes. But the ROMs must be flashable zips (I don't know of anyone right now, but there will be soon). Also, you can only switch between the same android version, as modem firmware is incompatible between versions (froyo->froyo OR gingerbread->gingerbread).

3. Yes.

Yes, I've found a fix for reboot, now I'm trying to fix shut down. I'm testing and will release tomorrow.
