[HTC EVO 3D] ProcessorHog:
I don't know about actual tethering (which gives your PC an IP address), but I've seen a lot of posts on XDA and other forums on how to browse the web using a proxy setup. I've been doing this for the last few days that I've owned the phone.

In essence, it involves:

1. Running a proxy server app on your phone. I use JADS internet sharer, in SOCKS mode. Proxoid is another HTTP proxy server

2. Connecting phone to the computer using USB

3. Putting the phone in HTC Sync mode (I couldn't get adb to work in charge only mode)

4. Doing adb port forwarding on your computer: adb forward tcp:12345 tcp:1080

5. Configuring firefox to use the SOCKS v5 proxy localhost:12345 (or HTTP/HTTPS proxy if you run proxoid)

6. Configuring the network.proxy.socks_remote_dns custom property value to "true" in firefox's advanced configuration (type about:config in the address bar, and type "dns" in the filter textbox)

After this, I can browse the internet all I want. And that's really all I need at this time. I'd like to have the computer route all internet through this proxy server, but I'm going to look into it later.

I suspect the market apps are doing something VERY similar. They all have a client component you have to install on your PC, maybe the client is a "dummy" network interface that routes all traffic through a similar port forwarding setup.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
does easytether have a pc client? never tried it so i really dont know but i think your right because in the free version of easytether its web ports only and the paid version, all ports are working (gaming, messaging, etc....).
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I've tried the Easytether paid version and it works great.
[HTC EVO 3D] klubhead:
i've used this before.. good stuff :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
never said it didnt work. that's not the point of this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kidmet:
Over wifi? Also, will this work for computers that can only join a secure network? (not adhoc) [if wifi is avail]
[HTC EVO 3D] inkjammer:
I only need to tether when on a job and there network is down or something and I may need to get on my laptop for a brief amount of time would this easytether work for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
this should be in Q&A or general. you are not developing anything with your op so it does not belong here please pm a mod to move

[HTC EVO 3D] .TeeJay.:
Should I apply the new update or should i wait on details about root. The only reason I would do new update is because people claim its helping battery life
[HTC EVO 3D] zeks:
Personally I'm waiting.
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
Hey guys personally I want to get the 3d but if I renewed my contract on December , I neeed to get it for the full price????
[HTC EVO 3D] Goneracin:
Wait for root, I did not notice any battery life improvement with OTA, the battery will get better if you discharge and charge in full cycles do not charge half way
[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
Wait for root. None of the devs updated. If they achieve root, only for people who didn't update will probably to root for a while. Just be patient.
[HTC EVO 3D] Pyxl3D:
Personally I did the OTA Updates because I don't think that Root will be achieved until HTC produces the update that removes the Bootloader Encryption. That being said, once the encryption is removed, I believe the root method will not be restricted by the OTA's that have been released. Worst case I would have to wait an extra week for them to fix the root method for the folks who did take the OTA's.

For now, I want to enjoy my phone as much as possible. I want to be able to show off The Green Hornet movie etc to friends. I want the bug fixes.

I also paid and got the Sprint Insurance with the $100 deductible so if I am wrong I can always drop my phone in the toilet :) and get a new one, but I doubt it will ever come to that.
[HTC EVO 3D] xweaponx:
Update if you like.

Just because the devs are likely not updating does not mean or prove anything. Nothing has been verified that those with OTA updates and those without will vary any differently once root is achieved. HTC made it well known of it's intention to unlock the bootloader before sending out the update.

Personally, I have enjoyed the update...
[HTC EVO 3D] hshshawn:
I saw a notable dif with the ota don't think it will hinder root but every phone is different I guess
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryangopan:
I am sorry guys .. but i am tired of researching on this ... I got this Telus desire which one of my clients brought from Canada and the problem is the device wont get connected to 3g/ hsdpa . There is no " H" or 3G coming up what so ever .

I have tried the same SIM card on my desire HD and HD2 running Wp7 and i get a proper H with full signal .

I was on stock ROM and then flashed Leedroid latest ROM with 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 as the radio but that didnt help .

on my research i found THIS thread which was moved and then following the guy who posted it .. i found the patch ( attached ) but none seems to resolve my problem here .

Under mobile network settings i have GSM/ WCDMA auto selected and i am damn sure about the APN .

What am i doing wrong .. Any help will be appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0msen:
There is nothing you can do about that. The error is not software but hardware related, there are 3 different Desires that cover different 3G frequencies. You won't get a 3g signal with a Telus Desire in Europe, because it doesn't have the European 3g bands.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryangopan:
Thanks for that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-c:
Don't know enough to be specific about your issue but the two GSM Desires share common 2100MHz 3G Band I, a8183 has a 850MHz Band VII and the a8181 has a 900MHz band V. Both ar quad band 2G

So you need to check whether or not the current carrier supports 2100MHz(which it sounds like it doesn't) and the model of the handset. You would have to Google to see what bands Telus transmits at.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cigar3tte:
Is there a way to edit the names of the Shortcuts on Home screen with the default Home Launcher? For example, I'd like to change "Dolphin HD Browser" to just "Dolphin". I don't like seeing the names being cut off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doublen1:
I'm sure the information is around somewhere and I am also guessing the device would need to be rooted to do the job as well. Wish is was as simple as it was on WinMo 6.5 but it probably isn't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Nope doesn't need root, simply install Folder Organizer, the app ownz by allowing you to put your apps in folders like iOS and also gives you easy way to rename the icons, uninstall the apps, etc
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cigar3tte:
Thanks, got it working.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slopokdave:
Love folder organizer. Bought the paid version, works very well!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doublen1:
Nice, Thanks for the tip. Installin now...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kxnzxmori:
I use desktop visualizer to rename shortcuts. Plus it's able to set custom icons too. Somewhat similar to folder organizer but it can't organize apps.

If I reset my nodo Samsung focus, will it revert back to update build 7004 or nodo?

Sent from my mailbox
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjlsantos:
No.

Earlier today I've made two resets (one in the settings menu, other with the diagnosis codes) an the version stayed unchanged (nodo).

Aww, I hope I still have a pre nodo backup somewhere. Thanks :-)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jericko:
I am running CM 2.6.0.1

When I try and clear my Dalvik I always get the following error:

E:Can't Mount /Dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file Exists)

It does not prevent me from Installing Roms.

So I was able to get this fixed, but not sure why:

So I took out my SD card and out in a temp new one (same size) and it did the same thing when I tried to clear Davlik cache (same error)

So then I went to "Partition SD Card" and choose 128 (smallest Option) then 0M for swap. Once I did that, I do not get that error when I try and clear Dalvik. I took the SD card out and put it in my PC and I now see a 128M partition that looks empty. Put my Original SD card back in and without the partition, I get the Dalvik error.

Do I need this partition and for what?

Thanks guys, sorry to sound like a newb.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can try switching to Amon Ra and see if the problem persists. I only used ClockworkMod to do one nandroid backup right after I rooted, I switched to Amon Ra before my first flash at the beginning of the year, so I'm not really familiar with Clockwork. Before I partitioned my card, when I would wipe dalvik with AR it would skip wiping the dalvik cache on the ext partition (because I didn't have one) but would wipe the dalvik cache on internal memory successfully. It wouldn't error out, just skip it. Perhaps that's what Clockwork is doing but differently?

I also noticed that you're on an older version of CWM, is that correct? You could try updating to a newer version unless you specifically need an amend compatible recovery, in which case I would recommend Amon Ra again.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Im pretty sure its just checking to see if you have dalvik on your sd, when you dont have a partition it still checks.

Just hit wipe dalvik again and it will wipe

The error is nothing to worry about, I get it too
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jericko:
Thank you both for the replies.

How do you properly edit indexed color .png files (from framework-res.apk, etc...) so that they will keep the transparency formatting when saved?

When opening index color .png files in Photoshop 5, all of the transparency information is lost.
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
I do not have talent when it comes to working with porting roms but I do know that our Hero dev team is one of the best. I am looking for people to help port this Evo rom that I found to our Hero. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144447 The OP said that we could work on the port when I asked him through PM
[Hero CDMA General] alonsoarellano:
Awesome! :D
[Hero CDMA General] scataldo721:
if this is possible i might keep my hero haha
[Hero CDMA General] ch1naski:
There is currently work being done to port over a sense 3.0 /gingerbread rom. It is very difficult to make work on the heroc... Is this rom from a cdma or gsm?

[Hero CDMA General] rubyknight:
If you want a rom like that, buy an evo. This is the hero c(: We have half the processing power, mdpi screens, no flash support, and way less internal memory.

Be happy with 2.3.4 gingerbread, even running it is a small miracle.

Edit: The big thing about that rom is all the high powered features. Netflix and the like just aren't possible on the hero as far as I know c(: Buy an Evo or try the port that's already been mentioned
[Hero CDMA General] rubyknight:
Blah, double post...
[Hero CDMA General] ch1naski:
Even if it were possible to get half the stuff from that rom working, it would be slow as molasses, buggy as a bees nest, and probably not worth the effort (except maybe from a "just to see if I can do it" standpoint). like ruby said, most of that is made for better hardware, and after you take all that out, you've just got rosie 3.0....

[Hero CDMA General] flashinglights:
Tk's gingersense rom is more than enough for me..

and the way things are moving along with it I don't think it will be to much longer before everything is fully functional. :]
[Hero CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
yea as far as porting that rom to the heroc you are looking at alot of work esp since sense is closed source and the evo uses an ARM7 processor and the hero has an ARM6. this is also why there has been little luck with a MIUI rom for us too

myn is an awesome guy and i have been using his roms forever (since donut), and trust me i would love to see this on the heroC infact if you flash tazz4.1 in the gingersense thread myn's wallpaper is the default along with the TwoPointTwo theme, but sadly its just not likely since the 2 phones are very different.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
Why is this in the development section? Seriously? What made you think this went here?
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
It is something that would need developed? Plus putting it in the dev section is the best way to attract dev's attention. Seriously? What made you think to post this question?
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
No, the best way to attract the dev's attention is to PM the dev.

You don't put a link to a ROM that is not even remotely started for our device with the tag "[Port]" and the title "Amazing Rom!!". Is this rocket science to you?

If you named it something more along the lines of "[WIP/Devs Needed] Possible Synergy Port?" That would have made way more sense. Instead, there's people clicking on this and assuming it's a ROM, and then we'll have pages and pages of people asking for ETAs (or even possibly people trying to flash the Synergy ROM from your link).

Did you even bother to look and see what the current Sense Gingerbread build status was? Or did you assume that just because a dev of a ROM for an entirely different (and way higher specced device, I might add) told you in a PM that you have his permission to port the ROM, that it was logical to make a thread about it?

The most logical thing to do would have been to ask thoughtlesskyle what he thought of the idea of porting it, as he obviously is the most experienced porter on the HeroC forums now that NFX and Zenulator have left.

But it's ok, you're right, you're not a dev, and this thread will probably go for a few pages and then die when people realize that this isn't going to happen. TK is doing insanely great work on the port we already have, this is just a waste of time.
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
In all honesty, the only waste of time here was your long rant about a screw up in the title. Apparently you are mister amazing and never made a single mistake. I forgot that you were the golden boy of XDA. Oh wait, you are not. You are just a regular person with a little more experience on the site than me. I purposely put the misconceptious title in there so that it would attract more people. When you say [Devs Needed] a lot of people pass it over. Now if you would spend your time developing instead of figuring out ways to insult people over a website. I realize that this rom is very advanced and its about 95 percent positive that it never would or could get ported but at the same time thats exactly what was said about froyo and gingerbread....but guess what, they did! Now obviously it would not run as smooth or anything but it would be quite nice just to see that we could.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
dude go to hell are you seriously flaming liquid right now? obviously you being a noob you have no idea what hes done for the heroc community, you made a mistake and your at fault here so stop trying to put it on someone else and and man the f@#ck up!
[Hero CDMA General] ch1naski:
Exactly. That's the point.

[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
Just because he has done a lot does not mean he is not a ****. Just because I've been here a short while, i am not a true noob. I knew quite a bit about android before ever coming here. I realize my screw up was bad and i admitted that but that does not excuse his attitude. I never put my fault on him, i put his own on him. Case in point go "f@#ck" yourself....btw there is not 5 letters in the word you are referring to.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
you say your not a noob but u go around asking questions like this?
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
Ive been rooted and all of that for months. The reason i asked that is because obviously i have not tried everything out there, no one has. I wanted to get peoples feed back on different things they have tried that maybe i have not seen before. It was not my first time doing all of that stuff and in all honesty i just wanted something "Fresh" on my phone. I did not want to use the usual CM7 with fr partition and ram optimizer. I wanted to get a different result. Obviously I could go out and test multiple combos together but I was hoping to get the whole communities feed back since our hero is starting to stand on its last leg and we have all had time to test multiple things.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
i just reported this thread to a moderator and u should be banned from xda.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
(hope the bbc code is correct...)
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
Why in the world would I be banned when I was not the one who even started the argument? That literally makes no sense. I already admitted to what I did wrong. Is it so much to ask for you to do the same? In all honesty if I was banned, then that would just be a poor use of moderator system. I am not trying to offend any mod or any decision maker with this statement, but this would be a complete waste of the ban. I am not an obstructive user. And I obviously should not be banned for profanity because I was just using your word verbatim.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
I get that the intentions were noble and well, but the thread is going to die. There's a port thread already going, and our porting dev of the moment is working on that.

Hate me for whatever you want, it's still you who's wasting time here. This won't go anywhere.

@Bierce, let it go. There's no need to attack him. The thread will die on its own, I'm not trying to start bad blood, I'm just speaking the truth (a truth which originally should have been come to logically, but it didn't)
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
Because he is a dev and a great one at that.

As the rock says "know your role"

®patience is a virtue©
[Hero CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
alright guys relax, this thread will likely get moved to a different section and cleaned up, or it will be locked and we can all move on.

you likely won't get banned unless you sass back to the moderator.

Thank you for sharing the rom's existence with us, and also thank you for admitting you posted in the wrong section. If there is one thing i have learned on xda it is to pick your battles, somebody's feathers are always going to get ruffled or somebody will get rubbed the wrong way. Its a matter of how you deal with the situation, and i am no angel nor am i claiming to be when it comes to this but sometimes its just easier to not respond and let the situation blow over.

A little while back there was a user who's user name i will not post (everyone knows who i am talking about). He was in a situation where he was getting attacked over some of the work he was doing, but i still feel he did things with the best intentions. He argued tooth and nail about the issue and rubbed a lot of people who likely would have helped him out in the end the wrong way. Instead he argued and it followed him wherever he went, instead of letting the issue blow over (it wasn't like he killed anyone) he deleted his username, then started another one doing the same stuff he always did, and did it a few more times as well.

and the same situation happened to me when i tried to stop a fight in one of my threads, everyone involved relaxed to my knowledge we are all civil with each other and moved on. The community for this phone is shrinking by the day so sticking together is more important than ever.

so lets all relax, put on some relaxing music (currently listening to regina spektor myself) and move on.
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
3 cheers for Kyle

Well put! I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I'm just trying to explain that this thread will die because of what it is (isn't) , not because the OP is an ass or anything.

cool. lock/move the thread and move on. Let's just forget it all ever happened. OP, come on over to thoughtlesskyle's thread. You'll find what you are looking for there. (be forewarned, it's for TESTING atm, don't expect perfection. Yet. )

Edit... those who hop on devs "privates" for no reason!
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
I am sorry to whoever I angered. It is not that you even caused my anger Ii just have a bit of a short fuse. I have seen kyle's thread and while i love the existence of the rom it just does not work well with me. For some reason every time i try to flash i get stuck in boot loop. Then, i do a battery pull rewipe and try again but it never seems to work. I will wait and retry after the next update. I never really though this rom would get ported I just wanted to see if it could.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Reflash your recovery before you flash Kyle's rom, it should boot.

Edit: of course wipe too.

BANG! from my shooter...
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
I tried that before to no avail. Is there a recovery you would reccommend instead because i currently use cwm
[Hero CDMA General] ch1naski:
What version of cwm recovery do you have? 2.5.0.7?

Gin and Salsa.
[Hero CDMA General] rizdog23:
Yeah but now im trying RA 1.6.2
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
You should consider giving Ra1.7 a shot. Its the latest version.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elzzird:
Being a long time tablet PC and onenote user, I was really exited about doing the same thing on Flyer. But I was wrong.

The Notes app on Flyer is half baked, for which I do not mean the functions, but usability.

If there is a constant small lag, I can accept. But the inking on Notes is very unsmooth from time to time, especially after writing lots of things or in landscape mode.

Also it skips inking strokes very often. It make long strokes shorter, round curves angled, etc.

And the inking is smoother when writing on a picture than in Notes app. And when writing on a pic, the inking will become lagged again if I zoom in.

And I guess these problems are cause by software/driver not the N-trig touch hardware. I really hope HTC can seriously improve their software to give us a usable note app.
