i found on some forum a while back that on GB tethering in logged in a database. the uid is 0 and the only thing that connects to the net using root(0) as the uid is a tethering app. i'd have to find that thread again and i'm not sure how far they got in that.

just found it: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/g...cking/24394-tethering-use-being-recorded.html
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
I doubt this. It is highly unlikely the tethering app rebroadcasts PHY-layer information. Far more likely is it retransmits L7 information. It is acting as a router, after all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] syntrix:
I will just say what's in the public realm. Try somewhere like dslreports and see what people are saying. There are a lot of posts from people that sound like they are absolutely sure it's sandvine.

If that is true, and you know what they are capable of, you know that it's not anything "on the phone".
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
Thanks for this, was wondering what I had to do to get it running in infrastructure.

If Verizon slows me down or tries to charge me for tethering, I'm just going to sell the phone and pay the ETF. I got the phone new for REALLY cheap, so I could probably make enough from it to not only pay the ETF and cover the cost of the phone, but come out on top by 20 bucks or so.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sydewayz:
i know that on my iphone which im usuing for sh*** and giggles, i have a hack that makes apn adjustments that mask the tethered usage so Verizon cant tell that im using the phone to tether. to them it just looks like normal browsing. is there not an adjustment like that for android?

i for one have been tether for free on my droids for years and never had any issues. but on the flip side i never used more than 5gb tethering either....

3.0-pre12 experimental is what works perfect on the charge froyo/gb
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ualdayan:
Toggle WiFi on and then off again, then try to tether again and it'll work. It's a pain for sure, but that works.

Hey everyone. I recently flashed Decks Rom, and I really like it. I decided to use UOT kitchen to theme a few things, but not everything is working correctly.

First of all my new battery doesn't stay. It will go back to the old battery at random times.

Second, I can't change the type of lockscreen that I have (could just be me)

Third, for some reason my transitions got changed, and I can't find a way to flash the stock transitions.

Any help on any of these topics is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's actually the opposite. You need FROYO bootloaders for cm7 to work correctly.

So. I HAD the proper CWM installed for this device, this was this morning.

Of course though, I always have to mess with stuff and ALWAYS without nandroiding first. Im so dumb!

I was in rom manager and went ahead and flashed the CWM for a xoom . Now when I enter cwm I get errors mounting the external sd . It wont mount even manually do I cant flash anything. Isn't there a way to put the proper cwm into a zip file and flash through cwm using update?

Sorry for the misspelling and thank you for the info. Technically im not bricked though and that's a guide for unbricking. Is there any easier way to get my external card mounted as I don't have a windows computer on hand to manually install the rom?

Or if I could just install a zip from the internal storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
it's not just for unbricking. basically, it does a very thorough job of restoring your device to the correct configuration. i imagine you flashing the wrong cwm screwed something up. nvflash restores your device more cleanly, so unless your device has hardare issues, it should fix it.

but yes, you do need a pc to do this...

Search the evo forums, if you find one you like, post a link for me and ill see what I can do about porting it to our phones. Once I get my windows box running again, if there isn't already a lock ring made, I can make up something for you... MikshiftedG (the best sense 2.1/3.0 rom for our phones) by aamikam will have a lot more options for you to choose from because Aamikam makes the mikG rom for the evo (way more popular than our phone). Check out themikmik.com and maneuver your way to the mikG v2.15 and v2.2 roms for the evo and than scroll through the themes and mod section... I could probably figure out how to port a theme from a thunderbolt as well so check in those threads as well. Good luck hunting!

Great news

Its still a lil too advanced for me to use yet, but the ball is rolling fast now. Has there been any word on the potential stable speed of the tegra when overclocked. My incredible was never stable beyond stock.

I did it it, and it was way easier than I thought it was going to be. Not going to bother with the chinese rom though. I haven't heard anyone say it was any better than stock, so why bother.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Eh, not rolling tooo fast, its rolling the same its been for the past week, people are just over hyping everything TOO MUCH, and that rom is practically an update.zip but Chinese (from what i gathered i may be wrong)
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
Im thinking of trying the chinese rom this weekend to see if I can muddle though the settings and change it to english. I dont read or speak, much less write, chinese. If anybody can tell me that this can or cant be done, let me know before I spend to much time on it... Please....

TIA
[Motorola Droid X2] GulMiguel:
I got curious and decided to start looking at the files in the zip (one-by-one). So far, each file that I have opened is in English. Since the SBF does work, I'm wondering what would it hurt to at least give it a try and if it all comes up in Mandarin, then I can simply clean everything off and go back to how things were before. I'm not a dev, and I don't pretend like I could be one or know what I'm doing. I know how to flash, sbf and most importantly - ask for help when there's something I don't understand. I haven't seen anything (in the files I've viewed so far) that would lead me to believe that this is anything other than a normal ROM that the Chinese just happen to have.

If anyone else has any thoughts on this matter, please share. My curiosity may just be in overdrive and i've been hungering so long for a ROM that this might just be desperation and a case of huberus of the worst magnitude. I welcome all learned comments/suggestions on the matter.

Thanks in advance family.
[Motorola Droid X2] c21johnson:
If you erase data prior to flashing the rom, when you reboot, it will be at the initial android activation screen. It will be in chinese, but you can simply click the icon in the bottom right hand corner and change to english. Only problems I've ran into so far using this method is that the paid is that paid market doesn't seem to work. But with the new market available, you may just be able to install it over top and bring back full functionality.

Once I return home im going to make an all night attempt st conjuring something up based on this rom, I'll post it if I accomplish anything.
[Motorola Droid X2] GulMiguel:
Now that is some MAJOR information that I needed to know. Thank you so very much. I will most definitely be trying this tonight when I get home from work. I feel like a kid with a new toy....is that bad? Oh well, can't help myself. Have to tinker. It will be interesting to see what happens during the next step of the test - seeing if it has the same problems as the stock version (rebooting when it wants to, powering itself off while in the charging dock, etc.) We won't even discuss Quadrant speeds or overclocking yet. I think that's the stuff I will leave to you experts. I'm a major novice who is a pseudo adrenaline junkie when it comes to my phone. I'm like Tim Allen wanting it to have "more power, grunt grunt'.

I'll stop being silly now and rather I will thank you again for the heads-up...it is greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
This is exactly the info I was looking for. I am not a dev either. I just know enough to get myself in trouble and then get out of it, most of the time..... I do believe we can just replace the market and if that is so that will be awesome. the next thing we are going to have to figure out is if and how we remove the chinese bloat.

About the issues affecting the stock ROM we have at the moment, from my understanding, the chinese one is basically the same. So the same issues may still exist...

I will attempt this tonight after work and a backup so that I can wipe and sbf to start from scratch...

Its great to see interest and attempts at advancing our current state of affairs, even if the progress is minimal. Progress is PROGRESS people!!!!

[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
So I just flashed the Chinese ROM.... I did what c21johnson said and switched it to English using the bottom right hand button... After that its pretty much the same as usual, log in, configure VZW and Google access and then you get to the default moto blur crap that came with the phone... Some bloat has been removed, but again as has been stated previously some has been added... Two apps that are in Chinese that cant be uninstalled... Aside from that its all the same... I am restoring back to the backup I did before flashing the Chinese ROM as it is absolutely nothing special.....
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
Has anyone tried to overclock the chinese room? I heard its the same as original rom, but since its a custom kernal, it might be able to be overclocked.
[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
Good question
[Motorola Droid X2] ccortner:
Does it really have a custom kernel?

If it does then we should be mining Chinese forums to figure out how because someone would have had to sign it with our locked bootloader. I bet its stock.

No custom kernel and cannot be overclocked. Still searching into a method to overclock this beast.

New way to use this apk

Many thanks to Tenfar for the apk. This is the same but it is not installed form your file manager it is flashed with recovery mode already enabled.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426062

It writes to /preinstall , /system/bin and /data (just as the recovery mode-ON apk does) BUT NOT to /data/data (as the apk relies on). Also charge mode is not available as it needs to be recovery enabled in order to save "you" on a bad rom flash or data data wipe.

Why use it? You may ask:

With this you can now safely do a data wipe and still reboot into cwr by just flashing this as the last step before "reboot system now" it will save you from SBFing if anything keeps you from booting.
