Help with Wifi tether or hotspot

I have read about every post over the last week. But I can not seem to get either of these to work. Basically, I am heading on a car trip with the wife and want to be able to let the wife surf on a laptop while I am driving. I would prefer without a cable.

Everytime I start Wifi Tether I get a pop up error... The application WiFi Tether (process com.googlecode.andriod.wifi.thether) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

When I start hotspot I loose connection to network (either through wifi or 3g).

I had silverneedle kernel loaded before I loaded this rom. I have been using this rom since 1.1 and am running 1.3 now.

I appreciate any assistance.

Thanks:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Jokerzwyld:
I am inclined to say the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
When you say you "start hotspot", are you refering to Wifi Tether or Sprint Hotspot? Hotspot works for me just fine, however, others have reported that it doesn't work on 4G. I don't have 4G here to test it but I would assume they aren't lying :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Sovvy:
I have a suggestion, battery percent in the notification bar. That would make me a happy panda. ROMs great so far!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Check 3rd post. Vinchenzop has some themes that will do that for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Hey Viper, I am thinking about doing something called "Pauls weekly Rom review" where I write a summary of my favorite, best ROMS in the general section so that developers work is more widely recognized. I want to help those on the fence about rooting or flashing to another ROM get out of their shells and to take the plunge. I plan on reviewing yours first and foremost with the utmost high regards and recommendations. You've been one of the most attentive, cool ROM developers on the board along with a few others so I figured I'd try and give back somehow.
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
Can i do that on my phone, or do I have to go thru my pc?
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
So not sure what happens but whenever I restore my previously saved data from nandroid, my crt animation stops working. Any ideas why? I can live without it but I'm curious to know why this happens. I don't resyore system or boot. Just my data. What's rally going on?

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
Anyone else having problems with there notification led?
[HTC EVO 3D] error4o4:
Been running 1.3 for about 7 hours now, nothing bad to report.

New font rocks!
[HTC EVO 3D] winderg:
IMO the new font is harder on the eyes... I have been running stock rooted rom since S-OFF was available, and I don't see any speed increase using this ROM. Just observations.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin813:
sorry if this has been addressed already but does anyone know how to get the apps on the lock screen i flashed this rom today and i cant get the apps to show up on the lock screen awesome rom tho!
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
yeah i love the rom but i kinda want my stock fonts back plz
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Oh awesome! Feel free, if you have any questions or want to interview me and/or Vinchenzop PM me!

The .zip would flash through the phone, but I haven't tested if it works yet.

Maybe Spare Parts is doing it? Something that modifies the window/transition animations most likely.

Nope. Are you on another kernel? If you're on latest SBC test, this is a known issue.

I think it's much more snappy, but that's just me. You will notice better battery life than stock for sure!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
They don't show up at all or you want to customize them? If they didn't show up at all, you should probably wipe and re-apply the ROM. If you want to customize them, from the home screen press Menu > Personalize > Lock screen.

I will have a file for you to flash tonight.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
How do i install this software on my iPhone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
put this file on a usb stick and stick the usb and iphone in the microwave. Set for 5 minutes. Voila! Congrats
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Hurray, my iPhone is jailraped!
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
Anyone else having audio issues? I dont have any sound. Happened at times on 1.2 as well.

I'm running 1.3 w/silverneedle.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Were you running silverneedle with .1.2 also?
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
Well the vipermod bloat manager flashed fine, but when i try to open it in terminal, it says permission denied...:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] dteze88:
Does this Rom contain the remapped right button on the rosie for the web? If not that would be awesome, thank you for this nice rom. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Type "su" (no quotes), hit Enter. Then try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Did you give TE Su permissions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Khayos:
LMAO!

you could always take the hardware out & use an old iPhone case ..

don't do it, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:
I've been runing 1.3 with nets test5 kernel since its release at around 4am mtn time, and everything is still running great! Something I noticed before i went to 1.3 (i need to see if I still have issues with the new version) is that the GPS seems to lose signal frequently while ussing Google navigation. It seems to re-lock on within about 15seconds of dropping, but it does seem like a frequent occurance... Is this issue ROM, kernel or phone (hardware) related, and has anyone else noticed the issue?

On another note, as far as battery life goes, I've been getting incredibly good battery life with screen off, but once the screen turns on, and I start browsing these forums, or responding to a text, for example of light use, my battery drains much faster than I think it ever has. I have my screen on settings set at 192/1500 (or whatever the 1.5ghz official number is). I'm thinking of putting it back to 1.2ghz max clock to see if i get some life back. Any suggestions or opinions on how to get better battery life while the screens on and the phones actually in use?

Once again, thanks to everybody for your help, and especially the developers that help make the android experience such a good one!
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
Yeah, that's why I'm confused...
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Type su, hit enter. Then run the command.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Good morning everyone. Let me try to tackle all the questions...

Latest WiFi Tether, 3.1 beta 2. It works for me but it's hit or miss. It's an issue with how the app works with the phone, I think. Nothing I can really do about it.

I thought about doing this but it would be a major PITA. Let's say someone hasn't used my ROM yet, the would need to download RC1.1 and every update (or latest update if I kept rolling the updates into 1) which would be a real pain. Plus, when you will definitely need to wipe /system for RC2. In fact, the ROM already wipes /system when installing from recovery, not sure if you guys noticed but it needs to be that way.

I know someone on here is working on that and I have been in touch with bigrushdog about it as well. I will try to get this implemented in the next update.

Again, I will try to get this in the next update.

Sorry no one responded man. /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 is /data and /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 is /system.

On my list :)

I haven't tried it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised that Sense 3.0 might not play nicely with it. Anyone else try this out yet?

The ROM doesn't wipe /data but it always wipes /system when it flashes if that answers your question.

Read above, seems to be hit or miss. Hopefully they will update the app for better compatibility. You can also try Barnacle Tether if you want. As I said above, I will try to get unlocked hotspot in next update.

Now it's time to get this damn SMS shortage **** taken care of. Happened to me every since I S-OFF'd.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
This happened to me before even flashing this ROM. Just give a call into Sprint, people are saying they fix it within a few mins.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Do these OC settings stick once we finish setting it up? Like on reboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Just noticed my phone dialer lockscreen icon disappeared. I went from stock to rc 1.1 Kinda ironic I didn't ota because of this.lol any fix?

Also here mms and sms seems to be ok
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Try this, from your Home Screen > Menu button > Personalize > Lock screen > Change to another lock screen > Apply > Switch back to desired lock screen. I didn't even notice this, that is really weird that you can't select "Phone" from a list of applications. I'm assuming this is a bug in the latest OTA since that's what this ROM is based off of.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
YEAH IT automatically took me to a rep....I just hope that doesn't happen everytume we flash something lol..I sent u a PM but u can disregard it man....thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Yeah still not there. This was a known bug in the first ota then I believe the second ota fixed. Not a biggie for me just something I noticed. Thanks for all the work.

Edit: I just put angry birds in phones place.lol now I don't have to call anybody.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Pretty much! :p
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Hmm, really odd. Like I said, it's the latest OTA so I don't know why this is happening.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Are we the only ones or are others experiencing? I came from stock to this. What about you did you ever ota?
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I swapped out my phone and it came with the latest OTA and this ROM is built on it as well. I would suspect this is happening to everyone and I don't think it's my ROM so much as something that still isn't fixed in HTCs SW.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Ok. To be honest I have had it on lock screen since launch and think maybe used it twice. I usually don't have a need to launch phone immediately on lock.
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
^ ^ This. I haven't seen this mentioned but anyone who has flashed a rom already, get the error 16??
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I didn't, hands free activation worked for me. And it only happened after first root. When flashing this rom nothing out of ordinary.
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Thanks, Cripple. LoL I was going to post something different til you edited. Ok Cool =]
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Yoooooo.....yeah it just happen to me. But all is good. I was directed straight to the rep....just a fluke thing I guess....did u get it too?
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Don't worry you guys aren't alone I also lost my phone icon.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I didn't only after root hands free. After flash I didn't see it again. I have only flashed this rom and I was stock no ota before
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
You had to go through the rep again after the rom flash, pats?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Anyone with a missing phone icon, try wiping you caches (cache/dalvik) then reboot your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] jthein1989:
If you aren't too picky about battery stats, and want your EVO 3D to scream through anything when your screen is on, change your min freq (screen on) to 486000 (or higher, it's all about preference). Its not a big change, but I've noticed a HUGE difference in how long it takes to scroll through home screens and opening app launcher. You can even change your max (screen off) freq to a lower value to make up the diff... I've found that a lower max when your screen is off makes for a major change in battery life (Duh), and even the lowest setting will still allow your EVO 3D to sync background data, even though I wouldn't recommend going to the lowest. Believe it or not, but huge changes in freq on a regular basis will lower the life expectancy of your phone, or any "computer" for that matter...

Please thank if this helped you...
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Will PM you and him later tonight more than likely, thanks man.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Like what? I never had any problems. I would try changign up the kernel. Did you wipe?

If you did su and then viperbloat and you get permission denied, type this:

su
chmod 777 /system/bin/viperbloat

Then type viperbloat. Let me know how that works.

No it doesn't, but I can look into it for the next release!

I never had a problem with GPS but I can look into tweaking it a little bit for next release.

For the battery issue, wipe battery stats (you can use Battery Monitor Widget to do this, Menu > Statistics), let it die, let it fully charge, then let it die again. After that, the next charge cycle will be much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
I did. No luck...
[HTC EVO 3D] htabbach:
Try the stock keyboard or different keyboard than the one you are using.
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
I tried chmod 777 system/bin/viperbloat...

It said "unable to chmod, read only..."

E: tried it again and it let me chmod, then finally open and use the script. Thanks for the help, weird little hiccup.
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:
Thanks for the reply -

As it stands right now, I have zero performance issues to complain about, I am 100% satisfied in that catagory - I'm just looking for a way to improve my battery life with screen on, with minimal effects impeding my performance. Would raising the min clock speed on screen save battery by causing less of a range of change while running between peak performance and idle with screen on? Governer for screen on is currently set to ondemand, as is the default in vipers script... As an example of my battery results so far, I went sleep with my phone fully charged after installing 1.3, left it off the charger, and 12 hours later I had 77% battery... Screen off battery life is epic... However, since i woke up, I've been ussing my phone off and on for 1 hour 45min, and it dropped from 77% to 41%....
[HTC EVO 3D] omegakai:
does this theme take away your 4g ? i remember using a theme and could not find my 4g anywhere to turn it on?
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:
Thanks for looking into the GPS issue for me! You rock! I will try to recalibrate my battery tonight... What should my battery status be before starting calibration? Fully charged? or dead booting into recovery before anything else? Or does it not matter? Should I use the app you're recomending, or should i use the recovery options for it?

Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
You really should calibrate you battery, it helps anytime you flash a new ROM or new kernel if you do it properly.

Nope, it will work fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Your call, I like using the app personally since I don't have to power off, power on and all that jazz. Doesn't matter what percentage you're at when you do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:
Right on - thanks for the quick reply! One more question about the battery, should i let it die to the point where it turns itself off?
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
No! Never good to let lithium ion drain all the way...
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
nope not necessary with these types of batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] unclekeith:
Pardon me if i'am being a wiener here... but was there ever a .zip for the stock HTC font ever put out?

EDIT: never mind, i found a post were you said you'd release it later tonight, sorry!
[HTC EVO 3D] splink7007:
With this font you can't tell the difference from a read or unread message in gmail. The bold isn't looking right. I'm also getting market fc's. Notice my light sensors are acting strange also. Anyone else experiencing any of these?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
i dont think the stock font has been posted but here is my post with the proper segoe font that looks way better

thx bro. looks good, i'll use that until he gets it out there.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Just quickly checking in to see if there is a fix for the backlight going in and out. Someone said it was related to the on/off animation.
[HTC EVO 3D] NC-IL:
Thanks for the link.

How can I install it on my phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] AdRock02gt:
Exactly where do I get in to change this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Is there ne way to take off the screen on animation but leave the off bc the on doesn't look all that great compared to the off it needs some tweaking done to it. Also hey viper that fix that guy asked u about with mapping the right Rosie button look into Rosie settings I used it all the time on the og evo maybe it can work or maybe it needs to be tweaked but the dev that made it is from xda I believe
[HTC EVO 3D] Axe-08:
look at the second post i think

[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:

[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194118&page=13

Is there any way to get these different overscroll glow colors to work with this ROM?? It would be great. I tried to install one but it changed the battery icon in the taskbar. Then I tried to flash a taskbar and then the whole thing disappears. I had no task bar at all. There is also a red color and yellow. I mainly would like the white or blue.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
I only got twice before I signed into the market all is well so far
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
+1 for white blue or even better cyan
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
I've also noticed the light sensor seems a bit touchy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Is it OK that setcpu is granting itself SU permissions every 5 minutes? Should I just turn off SU notifications? Also, the light sensor sampling rate is pretty high. This will use more battery than stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
I'm still wondering about the haptic keys being always lit up until screen times out og never did that
[HTC EVO 3D] error4o4:
Really zero need for SetCPU anymore with this rom.

If anything you're actually losing performance doing so. Just use the OC Daemon.

Viper or team: RE: GPS Issues

This has been a ongoing issue with a reasonable large amount of Evo3D's. I've seen quite a few threads on it, but there seems to be no real cause or solution.

My evo3d is one of the many that has this issue, its really noticeable when in a car using it (Primary use) or using apps like RunKeeper.

The GPS will not properly lock onto a signal and hold it like the evo4g did. In car you randomly get accuracy as good as 9 meters as bad as 100 meters bouncing back and forth.

Using apps like the RunKeeper when outside with zero obstruction you can review your run and it looks like you were running after taking 20 ounces of meth and a bottle of Jack. /\/\/\/\/\ vs a smooth -------- reported line ran.
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
The zips from that post works. U have to clear cache and dalvik before flashing.

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Anyone know how to remove the on/off animation? Want to see if that is the issue causing the light to go from high to low often. Others have posted they have seen this in all the Roms since adding this in.....
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I'm running shooter rewind and it's giving me the same thing. I'd like to get rid of the animation either way.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah, I tried shooter's Rom to see if it had the issue and it sure did.....

[YOUTUBE]Ewnocl8apaY[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I always do, contrary to what everyone else says.

I don't notice anything crazy with the light sensors :confused:

I will look into Rosie Settings, thanks. And I can edit it to make the screen on animation stop but I like it lol

This could happen if you use TB to restore before signing into the Market. Even if it's not that, just go in an force stop, clear data and cache.

I wouldn't recommend using that, just use the viperControl script. But you can use SetCPU if you really want.

It could be done, more in Vinchenzop's area, but it would be very simple to do - just change up the files in framework-res.apk

Yes, it does that. Just disable notifications in SU. This is another reason I don't use SetCPU :D

It could be done, I have a few other things on my plate for the moment though.
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
The rosie remap is myns I believe, and virus is using it in synergy rom. There's an apk for it, but like the OC daemon, it won't work if not on his rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:

-Viperboy-, would it be possible to have the home screen go landscape? Perhaps with a toggle that enabled/disabled it? Idk if its something that is doable, but since car panel leaves much to be desired, Landscape is the next best option.

Yeah me too but some people like it stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
This happened to me and I indeed had to reflash, when I did I formatted boot, system, data and cache and all was well. Incidently when I couldn't get the app buttons I also couldn't get the weather wallpaper. Not sure what was up with that.

Maybe this has been mentioned but I also had the screen brightness problem, I know it isn't a fix but I just set the screen brightness manually and presto no more flickering. The CRT animation must be messing with the auto brightness somehow. Way to cool to get rid of though. IMO
[HTC EVO 3D] splink7007:
Thank you good sir!

Edit: works like a champ.
[HTC EVO 3D] ka0bit0:
1.3 is running excellent so far dude. Two things I've noticed are the auto backlight is nutty...and when u go to adjust them manually you'll see the hard keys flicker lol....no biggie though...and I no longer have 4g on/off in quick settings with the gb theme.
