[Verizon Droid Charge] salto571:
So I have been only using EE4 ROMS because I have heard that rooting and using wifi tether apps on gingerbread will lead to my 4g getting throttled down and my VZW bill to skyrocket. Is there a consensus on whether or not this is true. And if its true on stock gingerbread maybe a rom like humble or gummy would have addressed this so that VZW cant tell? Its the only thing stopping me from making the jump. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
haven't heard of it happening to anyone I know irl or on forums... I'd say yeah go ahead and tether just don't use huge amounts of data, I think with a little tethering and basic usage I hit 10-12gb a month and no cap/throttling

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
VZ can definitely tell what you're doing.

The question is whether or not they do anything about it.

They have never charged me, but I use as little data as possible when tethering.

~John
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
A common misconception is that VZW "knows" that you're tethering, which isn't entirely accurate. They have the ability to tell, but due to the nature of that ability, it wouldn't be economical to do it to all of the tens of millions of people with data plans.

One way they can tell is by looking at where the data packets from your phone are going. It is illegal for them to look "inside" of the packets, of course, but they can kind of guesstimate how likely it is that you're tethering by detecting where the traffic is going. Your phone wouldn't have any normal reason to be sending a ton of traffic to Call of Duty's servers, for instance.

At the end of the day, VZW makes more money from your monthly fee than they would charging you an ETF and degrading your plan, which would almost certainly cause you to jump ship. They most likely target a minority of people to make an example of as a deterrent to scare prospective root tetherers... But aren't going to do it to everyone, regardless of their ability to tell.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
^^^ this
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
This is correct & what I meant by my post although you worded it much more clearly than I did.

I agree about making examples of the idiots like the poster here who posted a scan of his VZ bill laughing about the fact that he used over 32 gigs of data the previous month & said he did that every month...............

[Xoom General] couchmonkey:
I just picked up a Xoom last week and have been messing with it since and ran into a problem.

I have put in two different SD cards into the top slot and none of them are showing up when browsing with File Manager HD. When I go into Settings->Storage, under SD card it is greyed out and says insert an SD card for mounting.

I don't mind wiping the card, but how do I get the Xoom to recognize the card?
[Xoom General] snowwhite007:
Have u formated it to fat 32?
[Xoom General] couchmonkey:
I just took it out of my phone and tried to stick it in.

The card works fine on my phone and on my Gtab.

I haven't rooted it either.

Ok, so now under SD Card it lets me select Mount SD Card, but nothing happens. Why is it so hard to use this feature?
[Xoom General] couchmonkey:
wow, this sucks monkey balls.

my gtablet running an HC ROM, which doesn't even support HC, can have access to the SD card fine and is changeable between my phone/camera/pc, but for it to work with the XOOM has to be formatted to FAT32. Also, I can't write to it unless I root.

what's the point of the SD card then?
[Xoom General] 3devious:
Mine worked straight from a card I had in a LG EnV Touch. I don't know what the deal is. Has your XOOM just come back from the upgrade or is it the WiFi version?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Without root, you can access music, video, pdfs other files from your micro sdcard...up to 32GB, which adds lots of storage. There is no apps-to-sd in Honeycomb, but if you root, you can have R/W access to the micro sdcard and save your nandroids to it, TB backups, write files to it, etc. When you root, you'll find the micro sdcard at mnt/external1, on same directory level as sdcard (32GB internal storage) and mnt/usbOTG. Xoom uses micro sdcard for media storage/playback in non-rooted state and that's fine. But if you root you have a hell of a lot more features. that's our reward for the work (pain) of rooting.;)
[Xoom General] couchmonkey:
so I'm trying to figure out the best way to root.

which way is it?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
This is the best way I know: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

It can seem pretty daunting but we all did it, some have done it multiple times, and so can you.

In the first section where it talks about setting up adb on your pc, there's a link to an alternate approach to setting up the files. It's supposed to give you just the files needed for rooting and nothing more. I never tried it but you could if you want to...may save a step or two.

Anyway, this guide should have everything you need.

Take your time, print out the instructions and read them carefully. The Xoom was made to be rooted, it's just a complex device, so there's no 'one click' magic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Essem:
I've never rooted or anything before. Just rooted my bionic. I wanted to run unleashed. Bought and installed bootstrap bionic recovery, went to boot into recovery, but the phone turned off and now won't power on. Won't fastboot either. I'm freaking out any help?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bionicmonkey:
Have you tried pulling the battery or maybe stick it on the charger and try.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Essem:
No idea why this worked...but plugged it into an outlet instead of my pc and clockwork recovery finally came up...wtf
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TauntingBull:
did your battery have enough juice in it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrevels:
Yea I think it was out out juice myself... Th3ory's 1.7 Custom rom rocks. Just make sure you read the entire OP first. He explains everything you need to know. :)
[Dell Streak 7] rockhunter:
I can't take any credit for the following I just had to much time on my hands this afternoon and was in minor Netflix withdrawl since the upgrade to 3.2.

The following thread covers Netflix on the DS7 the third (not the second) post is the one for those of us who are not rooted and have the dell stock 3.2 upgrade installed.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1294034&highlight=netflix

It is not a perfect package it does not adjust the aspect ratio of the video so older TV shows and movies are squished. But it installed as described as an apk

and so far seems to be working with out any hiccups.

Thanks nice job neihn

How to open music controls?
[Android Themes] player911:
Can't download v2a

i.minus.com just goes to a blank screen. Also says 0 downloads so either its too new or everyone else is having problems as well.

[Update] After 5 minutes or so of me clicking on it, it finally gave up and let me download. So just a slow host.

A full theme would be cool. I figured someone would do it eventually.
[Android Themes] The3File:
2a doesn't work for me, doesn't show anything other than wallpaper, and unlocks on a touch.

Otherwise a very nice lockscreen, and all works on the others.
[Android Themes] player911:
Ditto. Finally got it installed and same exact thing. Just shows the wallpaper and status bar... and unlocks with a single touch.
[Android Themes] picard666:
i fixed v2a, it was not the proper version i uploaded earlier. now fixed and working as should be

double click on clock (or if music is on it appears automatically)

for some reason minus.com shows 0 downloads for all, but i know it's more than 0. if needed i might provide dropbox links, too
[Android Themes] TealLeader:
Just tried v2a on my Nexus S. It seems the area detection is rather off for the icons.

The circle unlocker seem to detect the area to the bottom right of each icons instead of the icons themselves.

The music controls work great though.
[Android Themes] The3File:
Yes I have that prob too now, also it could be very nice with a version where there only was camera and unlock buttons :)

But I must say I really like this lock!
[Android Themes] ldelossa.ld:
Hey awesome lock screen, anyway to get message preview in there? Maybe when holding the circle over the message for a certin period of time?
[Android Themes] picard666:
can you try maybe v2a1? it's a modified version of v2a i guess your problem was because of endpoint was 140px wide, now reduced to 40 (so you need to aim more precisely, but should solve your problem)

v2a1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24114955/ics_ls_v2a1.mtz

there might be a version v2c if there's need for it :)

no, it's unfortunately not possible. miui locks don't support it
[Android Themes] player911:
that host is a turd. I'm having difficulties downloading the damn thing. When I click on download, it just times out to a white page. Firefox and IE. I finally JUST now got it after continually clicking on it in IE for about 20min.

New version works but it a few suggestions. When moving to the Camera icon, the outer circle is white with a black icon... and the ring under your finger "snaps" to the icon and disappears. (This is the way it should be for all).

The Phone icon stays white (white on white) and the "finger ring" doesn't snap... it stays under your finger.

The message is black on white but the "finger ring" doesn't snap.

The Lock icon is white on white and the "finger ring" doesn't snap.

Also the phone and message icons have a "square" next to them... perhaps for notifications? It's visible all the time and doesn't match the others.

With the 2a having multiple icons, the default animation with the "waves" flowing to the right don't really match up either. For the simple slider, that direction works, but for a 360 sliding touch flow... it looks off.

Catch points are all screwy also. Aside from them being all over the place, they should be placed more toward the outside of the circle to make room for slight error.

Also a 12 hour clock is preferred IMO but not a big deal ATM.
[Android Themes] ezhatina:
You can remove the status bar?
[Android Themes] picard666:
that's something i came across, too. weird is that it works for normal v2 but if i remove the path info it just breaks this feature. i'm on it to find out what's wrong with it.

that's not a square, it's a zero, actually. (the same font as the clock)

if your system has 12 hour setting it will be 12 hour. otherwise it'll stay 24hour (ls limitations)

now the unlock zones are like this: ring should ideally get where shown, while black is the coded endpoint area for v2a and red is the same area for v2a1 (and the top-left of the ring should get in that area

Just want to let the OP know I posted a link to this thread on the RootzWiki forums because I like the lockscreen so much.

You did an excellent job. I hope you keep it up and we see more in the future.
[Android Themes] player911:
The catch size should be large.... perhaps breaking the surrounding area into zones vs a little square. Or at least cover each circle icon.

Just trying to help btw. Ill update to the new 2a and play with it.

Is there a download link?

i consulted with pomenx (official dev of miui lockscreens) and it turned out that there is a bug with not defining multiple endpoints properly, therefore for v2a the icon ring disappearing when in reachedstate is not possible atm. with newer versions of miui it should be good

[Android Themes] kimchi0400:
I've got a problem, the endpoints for the Camera and Messaging are messed up, the unlocker doesn't even move halfway to the endpoint before the reached state appears and unlocks to its respective function. Probably scaling issues, iono.

edit: Just read the thread and it's the problem discussed with 2a, by the sounds of it.

edit 2: I just fixed the problem by making the endpoints only 1x1 pixel large. It appears that the top-left pixel of the Unlocker is the point that matters, as soon as it enters the endpoint's wxh region it will jump to unlock. Don't hesitate to make the unlock zone only 1x1 large for the version with predetermined unlock paths, I guess :)

edit 3: I increased the speed for the animations and it looks a lot smoother, simply by increasing the rate to 50 ms intervals. I'm having a lot of fun modding your losckreen :)

there is a version with 40x40 px unlock zone in the topic somewhere by me (v2a1 or so)

the problem with smaller unlock zones is that you have to unlock it precisely at the point, so it is harder to unlock

[Android Themes] ABQNM:
I love this lockscreen but the phone and camera endpoint issues were getting to me. I got some time to mess with this finally and made some revisions to version 2 fixed path (including a minor fix that caused the pressed state of the music previous button to show at x=0). I cleared up the issues with the camera and phone engaging too soon yet still making them easy to activate, by being creative with the endpoints.

@picard666 I am not sure how you feel about this, so I wanted to ask you first. Would you want me to post my revision? Or send you just the manifest to review and you can implement or cherry pick from it if you want? I don't want to take credit from you as you did the work. If I can help I would like to post it or send it to you.

I appreciate the work you have put into this lockscreen and I hope to hear back from you. Thanks!

[Android Themes] ABQNM:
First, welcome to the forum!

This lockscreen requires you are running the MIUI ROM. I have not heard of a build for the Hero, so you will likely not be able to install this.

As an alternative, Widgetlocker (paid app, but worth it) has a fantastic ICS style locker. Also it is completely customizable, from the shortcuts on the lock ring to putting whatever widgets you want on the lockscreen.
