tutorial

the tutorial posted abovewwwyanzicjustnubie.wordpress.com...tu-on-android is pretty decent.

Things to note if you are following the tutorial. You should set aside 2gigs for the loop if you are installing Deian to make sure there is enough room to install the GUI.

Do use the ip address listed in the "Distribution Management" of Linux Installer * or simply type "localhost" as the ip address for vnc

Don't bother copying and pasting the commands listed in the tutorial for binding the window session with VNC. Take your time and type it in manually.

That being said. has anyone managed to get Ubuntu "natty" running. I've tried and every time i apt-get update, the non-free repo fails. does anyone know if this is user or server error?

and Lastly, with my limited understanding of co-op OS, is the reason for the no sound issue rooted in the fact that the resource is prioritized to Android?

Hy,

today i installed the new linux installer 3.3 on my XOOM Rana 1.4.3 Kernel wit HC3.2. After starting the app i get this error:

Missing kernel module(s)

Sorry but your kernel does not have the neccessary features for install linux.

Kernel feature is not known because the /proc/config.gz file is not found!

I have the option "Override" and "Close"

So, when close, the app close. Should i choose Override or is my XOOM not compatible?

Now i tried Override but install didn´t work....what is to do?

THX a lot

Craxx;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slie:
No /proc/config.gz

Would love to put this on my BIONIC,

but I have the chance to overide this error.. After overide it won't pull from any Distro sources.

Would love if this worked if i have to I'll try the other way.. But kinda want to focus on other things.

Great work anyway at least it works for others.

Is it possible to install this on a Samsung Galaxy S runing ICS 4.0.3 Platypus kernel?

Also when I look at the options it says that Ubuntu 10.10 is unsupported. But I have found several guides that helps you install 10.10.

If possible to install on ICS and platypus kernel is it safe to chose Ubuntu 10.10 anyway?

I want to receive mango through Zune when my carrier releases it but I am on 7712 with no back up. What can I do? I would like to be unlocked as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Well, your phone is currently running the BETA version of Mango. Microsoft said that there will be no option to update to the official version of Mango if you're using the BETA.

The only option for you is to flash an older ROM to your phone so that you're back to 7004 (or 7008). Then you have to unlock; prevent your phone from relocking and update to NoDo. Then you just have to wait until the final version is released.

There are tutorials here on xda-developers on how to keep the unlock while updating to a higher version.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
Flash your HTC HD7 with 7392 ROM. You'll then be on the official update route.

If you want it unlocked, you'll have to flash all the way back to either 7004 or 7008.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floods7:
Since I lost my backup and have to flash to a rom from this site, will Zune recognize it as "official"? And send me updates?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You will get updated when they release by the carrier/oem (I believe or maybe it's based on SIM, but believe it depends more on Branding) of the ROM. So if it's a T-Mobile USA ROM, you'll get the updates as TMOUSA releases them. People do this all the time on device that come with Mango already on them. They Flash a 7004/7008 ROM so they can Chevron Unlock & than just upgrade back to NoDo.

What a great news! Finally it's here! :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
Yeah, but I need it even through cable - because when internet craps out at home, I want to be able to connect even my PC :D.

(at worst case scenario, I could change router to client mode and connect to phone from there :D)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hello OndraSter, long time no see. Glad to see you are WP7 too.

Yeah, I agree about having wired tethering. Luckily my PC has a WiFi adapter, but a decent amount of Desktops don't. No need for WiFi on something that never moved especially when Gigibit LAN is way faster than the fastest WiFi.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Snake.:
If this will be blocked on unbranded/outside of US devices (like voicemail is), I will be really pissed off!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Visual Voicemail is dependent on your carrier, tethering isn't though they could very well hide the setting via registry. So, even if they do hide it, we'll be able to unhide it with a registry hack, same as how some devices have the "never" option for the lockscreen timeout & the accessibility options disabled.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Snake.:
Why are you so sure? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
This quote has a registry directory that wasn't in the Beta 2 Emulator Dump. I have the full registry from a dumped emulator of 7692 compiled & this directory isn't in it. I'm trying to find a new 7720 dump to so I can compile it's registry.

EDIT: It appears this directory exists in NoDo 7392. I just opened my registry editor & manually added this key & it shows up as (unavailable info). I wonder if this means tethering was always there but hidden.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mike21pr:
soooo.... anyone with an unlocked rtm mango willing to take a shot at enabling it?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JosepHenry:
I would try but my registry editor always crashes when I open it up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
We could try, but we need the entire regkey. Parameters and such.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Maybe this will help (found in netcore.7.10.7654.1-7.10.7720.68.cab's RGU);

EDIT: From further examination of the RTM update packages. Internet Sharing seems to be in 7712 as well. The netcore.7.10.7712.60-7.10.7720.68.cab doesn't have an RGU & has a few updates to a couple DLL's (icscsp.dll/IcsService.dll/intshare.dll) & the netcore.7.10.7718.66-7.10.7720.68.cab has nothing new added to ICS aka Internet Connection Sharing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Can someone running Mango RTM 7720 that has TouchXplorer Side Loaded & working as well as the PC USB Enable hack please copy out \Windows\E58CB45D-B3FE-405d-85CF-4D19C2AE80BE.rgu & upload it here? It should be around 15.5 KB in size as the NoDo RGU is 12.5 KB & the 7720 update RGU is 3 KB, which get's added to the existing RGU in \Windows\. You should be able to copy it out as I am running NoDo was able to pull it out with WPDM, but it doesn't work in Mango so you'll need to use TouchXplorer/USB Hack. I might be able to find the exact registry value with this file.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ronclone:
Well if thats true, then maybe we can get access to it via provxml... Just like chevron, dont we?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eric12341:
I posted this in a new thread at PPCG also. no longer is no tethering a deal breaker for those on the edge.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JosepHenry:
Can you please explain or post a link on how to do the PC USB Enable hack? I have TouchXplorer running but if I can do the PC USB Enabled hack then I get my \Windows\E58CB45D-B3FE-405d-85CF-4D19C2AE80BE.rgu and upload it here.

See this;

This tool allows you to access your WP7 in Windows Explorer as a USB Storage device as long as Zune is closed. You need to copy that file to \My Documents\Zune\Content\ with TouchXplorer & than on you PC access the "USB Mode WP7" to copy it to your PC.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JosepHenry:
When I do this the only thing I am able to see is just four sub folders. Albums, Artists, Music, and Pictures. Am I doing something wrong?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Nope, those are the folder that are on your device under \My Documents\Zune\Content\(# Value)\.

You use TouchXplorer to copy from \Windows\ to \My Documents\Zune\Content\(# Value)\ & than on your PC you'll see it in one of the folders you mentioned.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JosepHenry:
So would it show up it copy the file into one of folders with a # value?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Doesn´t work either.

Anyway by default the USB port is set to "Zune sync", on the OMNIA 7 I have switch to "Modem, Tethered Call" for using USB-tethering. So I think USB-tethering can´t work without switching the USB settings.

In my opinion there is missing a samsung specific driver.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hum, worth a thought ;). Good point though. Wonder if the ICS service will be able to change the "USB Mode" & if the new Zune client include the Modem drivers.

Yeah, that's what Cotulla, a few others, & myself have been thinking. Cotulla saw code in the Samsung WLAN that hinted at maybe it already supported WiFi Hotspot, but guess not. We'll most likely have to wait for an official release with new, updated OEM drivers most likely.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
But it looks like it will be no problem enabling it as soon as the needed drivers are included!?

All you would need is a working registry editor, so I'd be fine with the LG MFG app, right?

Thanks :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
If the carriers update the drivers internet sharing we be available by default and you can use it if your provider allows tethering. I don´t think you you have to do some registry edits.

If your provider don´t allow tethering you will have to bypass the intshare.dll like Cotulla has done...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
The problem is that EPlus, my carrier, isn't listed as an official WP7 partner afaik.

I hope Microsoft enables tethering on open market phones...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] StevieBallz:
Maybe i'm mistaken but your phone was connected to a Wifi network when you tried to enable the Hotspot? I can think of 2 more things to test:

1.) Disconnect your Wifi and try to enable ICS

2.) Disable your Wifi and try to enable ICS

I have not much hope of those working but still worth a try. My USB tethering didn't work while the data connection in WP7 was enabled so this might be similar.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Did anyone figure out how to enable this yet ? Irene killed my power, I got a generator but internet is down from my ISP...i need this it possible
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Snake.:
I don´t think so, but if they won´t, I´m selling the phone, I don´t like policy that depends on US´ carriers minds, I don´t live there = I don´t care.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andycted:
If tethering isn't available on open market phones, that does it, I'm going to recommend other OS from now on.

Anyway, if you manage to pull this hack, the problem would be people with locked mango phones (not nodo unlocked then updated), right ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
LG users shouldn't have a problem, because we have the MFG App.

Anyhow the cheap official unlocking solution should be available sometimes...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andycted:
sorry, I meant non-chevron unlocked registry-writeable, etc

Try on a LG E900 Optimus with german VDF Flat with tehtering allowed

Hi you gyus,

i´ve tried to change registry with the activated MFG Tool.

Phone is on Mango Windows Phone 7.5 Ver. 7.10.7720.68,

FW 1...10.0

HW 1.0.0.0

I did those changes:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\Private]

"CellularConnectionName"="1" (DWORD) ==> Original Value was "49530696"

Alos i set with MFG Toll USB to QC-Composite.

result: No Success.

Is there at least anybody who was able to get Thetering working (regardles which metod (WiFi, BT, USB e.g)?? If so, pleas share the secretes anybody would appreciate :-)

best regards

U.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Arktronic:
QC Composite mode does not work on Optimus 7 devices with the Mango beta or 7720.68. This is a known driver issue that will (should?) be fixed when LG releases the official Mango update for their devices.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Budniu:
Internet sharing will be in Mango but ... only for new device, for old not. HTC claims that Microsoft's fault because it's too late this option was added to the system.

http://wmpoweruser.com/internet-sha...nt-be-coming-to-older-htc-handsets-initially/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wheresmybeaver:
Because each device has specific drivers? I doubt this should be an issue for HTC considering the internals of all their WP7 phones are practically the same?

I have faith in xda enabling tethering even on 1st gen devices... it might require a new ROM being flashed, but for a feature like tethering it would be worth the hassle.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PsyCLown89:
Hmm... Damn, I really do hope one of the guys here at XDA manage to get internet sharing working in the older HTC phones... Soon :(

This kinda really sucks. :-/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] abhilaksh:
the HTC rep simply said that tethering will roll out to ALL devices, but the 1st gen ones will get it slightly later because their (mongofied) firmwares had already been finalised before microsoft added the feature.

so, you'll get the mango+HTC update, and then, a certain stretch of time later, you'll get another HTC update which enables tethering.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
Appearantly HTC was working too fast - we saw Internet Tethering on Omnia 7 few days ago appearantly working. There is really high chance that it will work on Omnia devices out after Mango update. I hope they will unlock it (officially) to all unbranded devices (unbranded ROMs) :D.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pieryx:
Should I buy an omnia 7 then? or keep my hd7?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
You better wait for Mango roll outs...

If you have HD7, there is no need for Omnia 7. You should wait for the new sexy WP7 Samsung phone they showed on CES or whatever was it, like month? month and a half? ago. If you want new one.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jaygriggs:
Great job guys!! Looking forward to having my tethering back
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] minori_aoi:
BTW, have you checked that apparently someone in Focus Forum have Internet Sharing enabled on his Focus with Mango RTM (I don't think it's the same RTM we all use 7720.68, because that dude made the thread before the Mango RTM was leaked).

I tried to PM him, but never got a reply

Too bad, I want this feature NOW !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
So with Mango ROM out, I gave it another look.

The WiFi hotspot IS related to SoftAP. If you open ConnectivityUX's provxml, you can find there this

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="AppMetadata">
<characteristic type="{5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629}">
<parm name="Manifest" value="\Windows\SAPUXPacMan.xml"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

and then continue to softap.exe and the resources and what not :).

Oh and softapuxdll.dll refers to Comm\InternetSharing\Settings.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Arktronic:
softap.exe is probably the settings page for internet sharing. If you launch that GUID (5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629) via Zune interop stuff from the desktop, the settings page comes up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dark.angel:
Today there was announcement of Mango OS in Russia (WP7Camp)

In unofficial talk with Microsoft Client Evangelism Lead I asked about Tethering in Mango update. It was unable to obtain any information about that. "Corporation can't comment this feature at the moment"

Let's hope it will be enabled at the future, or at least any opportunity to enable it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andreacorti:
i could try it on my phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] miracleman:
How can I try this reg changes on my focus? I have the same build number.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
After the page came up, can anything be done with it ?

Dam, if all I had to do is go through a Explorer app and run a batch file or something to get wi-fi tethering to work, I'd be all over it.

I never used it all the time but, when I do need it, it's very helpful, and from the time of getting WP7, I have needed it 5-7 times.

I even picked up a HTC Imagio (WM 6.5) to swap ESNs when I need to use it on business trips.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DrHankZ:
I thought I was the only who did that :)

Imagio HotSpot works great
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Arktronic:
Unfortunately, no. The functionality has to be appropriately provisioned before it can be used.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
has to be provisioned ? Has anyone looked at the script that provisions the phone for the mango upgrade ? Maybe it's a line that goes there to update the phone for it ?

Man, I would be selling my other phone today if I could get this working
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] StevieBallz:
Recently samfirmware.com leaked an Omnia 7 Engineering ROM (XXKH2) which contains updated drivers for Mango including updated Wifi drivers which enable Hidden Wifi connectivity.

Perhaps those new drivers also include support for Wifi Tethering. Anyone care to try the registry changes and the patched DLL files on that ROM?

Although - provxml can't be used on this as that has to be in place before upgrading to Mango if I'm not mistaken.

Can anyone confirm my line of thought?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jeff HTC:
Once you install the XXKH2 rom you could use this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238519 to create the provxml and execute it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
You are wrong. For being able to sideload homebrew apps the device needs to be unlocked first...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jeff HTC:
You're right. I've been unlocked for so long I didn't think it all the way through. I guess that $9 Chevron Unlock tool can't come fast enough!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WasStoNed:

Any news?`

Any news about enabling Internet sharing on old HTC devices?

Believing last revealed information Internet sharing future will be available only on New HTC`s WP7 devices (Radar etc...), with DLNA and Tango features.

Is there any probability to enable any of these features (especially Internet sharing) on old HTC devices (HD7, Mozart, HD2 etc...)

I will be very appreciated if Cotulla gives his comments to this matter.

Thanks a lot!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
From what I read about this, HTC rushed their firmware upgrades before the feature was added to Mango (WiFi sharing). So they failed to update the drivers as needed. This is supposed to be "fixed in the future in a post Mango update from HTC with new drivers. Until than, we are SOoL. The only thing we can do is wait & see what the official update of Mango gives us & go from there.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
How about the HTC Leaked Mango roms (think someone said that before), they are with radio, firmware and everything else upgrades. It looks and feels like a final.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I take it you have one flashed? If so, have you tried the File & registry Cotulla posted a few pages back to see if it shows up & works?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
