I want to tell everybody purchasing routers that support USB built in: your existing network equipment (router) or any old, unused PC can do this for you free.

In fact, there are so many ways to share your 4G throughout your home I won't explain them in-depth unless there are specific questions.

Routers: many routers (Linksys, Buffalo, Belkin, NetGear, ASUS, and many more) contain hardware capable of running open-source firmware. My network contains many flashed routers: Linksys E4200 v1, Linksys E2000, Buffalo WHT-HP-54G, and Belkin F7D7301 v1. These models are all compatible with modified firmware. But keep reading...

ALL YOU NEED IS A USB PORT on your router. The firmwares (assuming your router is compatible) take care of the rest. Be warned, there are ways to brick your routers if you don't read the wiki/forum threads properly. In my opinion, these are much easier to flash than phones.

The DD-WRT supported devices list will let you know if you have a box *already compatible* with DD-WRT. Otherwise, use this reference to shop around for a router with at least:

8 MB flash

1 USB port (you can expand with a powered USB hub)

Support for optware (any Broadcomm router will work!)

This isn't very easy to find but almost any Linksys router has a broadcomm, for example. I can provide reference for any of you that might have questions.

Your router needs writeable space to keep a couple kernel modules that may/may not be built in to the particular DD-WRT flavour/build. Basically, this is something dependent on a per-router basis.

If you have something listed on the supported devices list, I will be happy to provide some reference on whether or not you will be able to do this.

USING A[N OLD] COMPUTER:

Get a linux distribution of your choice (I'll provide links on request)

Enable USB tether on your phone while plugged into a high-speed port.

Configure the connection to route out of your standard Ethernet adapter.

Plug your existing router's WAN/Internet port into the linux computer's Ethernet port.

And from here you troubleshoot. And I can try to help.

I will probably write something up on how to do this on my website once I get things running. For now, I'll subscribe to the thread and take questions here. I'd also like to point out there are many other creative ways somebody can do this. Just keep asking.

Good luck keeping your battery from draining faster than it can charge; I sincerely mean that. WiFi Tether can be killer if using it as a shared connection.

FXMech,

So i've had a Linksys E4200 for some time and after reading your instructions have flashed dd-wrt onto my router. There are a lot of neat features now available but i'm not sure how to get the router to use my phone at an internet source. I'm using a motorola usb data cable and have easy tether set to share my internet and when i plug it into my router i get nothing. any help with this would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lonwas:
Some advice on how to get Android USB tethering to work on dd-wrt would be much appreciated.

Using a Linksys E3000 - DD-WRT Build 19519 installed

JFFS2 Enabled

usbnet.ko, cdc_ether.ko and rndis_host.ko installed

Now stuck at this point.

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid Bionic] androidifyme:
Nice before I even read this I was doing usb teather to my computer. Then I would hook my router up to my computers ethernet port to outers internet port. I have windows 7 so I did network bridge and the router had internet. To bad you need the computer but other than that wifi on router is grwat. Lan is also great. I play xbox live from this setup.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fxmech:
Hehe, I was just going to find some reference on the Ubuntu equivalent of "Connection Sharing," and landed back here forgetting completely about how I've helped motivate this search result.

Here's the deal - I was wrong about a few of my previous posts, I am too lazy to retract and edit out the stupidity,

I have since discovered a fundamental flaw in my logic - "USB tether" is NOT equal to "USB modem" - don't ask me why. However, I can say I know the limitations now.

Bad news: All USB-capable routers supporting TomatoUSB ( http://tomatousb.org ) or DD-WRT ( http://dd-wrt.com/wiki [the main site is useless for regular people, stick to the wiki & forums] ) will not allow this. I have just confirmed in the DD-WRT Kong Mod build for the Linksys E4200 won't do it. To cut to the chase, this build included what I suspected to be the additional modules usually needed. Turns out, those modules are for USB modems, which is a separate type of subscription service, not to mention an additional Dongle to buy. I suppose it's useful for some.

I like to skate by on the cheap, so I won't be able to speak to these (awesome sounding) routers previous people bought. For those of us still wanting to have fancy internet sharing (non-phone-WiFi), you will have your answers revealed. Just not this post. :p I am not ready to tear down some of my excess equipment and get it rigged up quite yet.

I will be working with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 machines at a later date. I anticipate no problems with either, and from my estimation the gist of what's required has already been talked about in this thread.

However, as the resident dork-in-charge of my home office - my specific interest lies in "multiple WAN" on my router. There are 2 reasons to do this. Redundancy or[and?] load-balancing. My new gateway since my last posts in the topic has switched from the E4200 over to an installation of Zentyal 3.0 ( http://zentyal.org ). Zentyal 3.0 is based on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, so I suspect it is possible to tether.

I anticipate a lot of people might stumble here searching The Google. I figure I might as well write this out in a organized, thorough way. More to come as I make room in my brains to type out a relatively coherent tutorial for both OSes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fxmech:
Sorry guys, 2 people flashed routers per my speculation. If I find any solid info in the future I'll check back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cooljake6:
Thanks for the update!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wintrxtrem:
Looks like Android USB tethering to a router is working with the ASUS RT-N66U. I haven't bought the router yet, but I plan to soon.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexMagik:
Hi all,

i got a new SGS2 and i started to root / kernel / roms. Everything was ok until i soft-bricked.

So i managed to install the 2.3.5 Stock Rom (as nothing else i found worked), but i believed it also overwritten the PIT file (i know, i was a newbie).

Now every time i try to install a kernel, it hangs at the loading with the yellow exclamation point. Can only reboot and enter in download mode. Some kernels let me enter in restore mode.

please note that 2.3.5 is working perfectly fine and no issues there. but i want to try some kernels and ROMs.

thank you,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Edit: Sorry, maybe I didn't fully understand your problem. I assume you don't have root anymore? Try the zergrush method with tool SuperOneClick v2.3.1. Thread posts report working with SGS2 (not G model).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682#

OR,

Flash DarkKnight kernel v2.3 (based on siyahkernel) with auto root fixed.

Flash with Odin or CWM. I use it!

http://checkrom.com/threads/kernel-darkknight-v2-3-updated-dec-1.265/

Or, after zergrush root, Try flash siyahkernel v2.3 via Odin. Find it in XDA Original Android Development.

There is a .tar file download to flash with Odin or .zip file download with CWM Recovery.

Don't forget to at least read posts

1 & 2 (faq) as well as the last few pages of the thread before posting any questions.

If successful, you should have a new CWM Recovery v5.xx as well. :)

Once installed, I do recommend using CPU governor "smartassV2". Read on and you'll find more about that ;)

After root Another way is to extract the "zimage" from the download, put on sdcard and flash with a app such as Hellcat's kTool found free on the Market.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Well, as far as i have seen in here theres still no method to unlock the htc Aria. Only with a code or maybe the box. Just want to make sure about that because i read in other thread that htc did not made samsung mistake about leaving the unlock code inside the bin files so people can find it. But at the same time there are methods to unlock the mytouch 4g for example and the inspire and some others so. Is there a way is the unlock via code the only way?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR_HTC:
As far as I know the getting the unlock code is the only way. I got my code last year and the cost was $20. It might be cheaper now.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
You can SIM unlock the device with an XTC Clip, but it'd be cheaper to just buy the code instead unless you intend to unlock several devices. AT&T will give you your unlock code for free if your account is in good standing. (You don't even have to call them -- you can get it by logging in on their website.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tygger:
Anyone using Llama for their ET4G? I use it on my Evo 3d and it works flawlessly. For the ET4G, it's been having problems. With the two phones side by side, the ET4G appears to be picking up more cell towers (that even other phones aren't picking up), and it doesn't appear to refresh the tower location readings either. I have it set to check every 5 minutes, but it can go for hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pillzzberry:
What is that exactly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tygger:
Llama uses phone masts to determine your location, so that you can change your ringer, vibrate and ringtones depending on where you are as well as the time of day. Llama provides you with sound profiles so you can quickly switch between quiet, loud, silent and normal sound settings. You can set your family, wife and children to ring even if your phone is set to silent! You can create events and home screen shortcuts to manage your sound profiles and more:

-Silence your phone at work

-Turn your Bluetooth on ready to connect your headset for a morning run

-Set your phone quiet when it's late at night and you haven't gone out

-Start the music player when a headset is connected
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pillzzberry:
Oh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tygger:
It's really useful when it works...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mimis_69:
That sounds pretty cool, I'll check it out.

[Insert witty signature here]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I am not having any trouble with Llama. Are you sure you have the polling mode set to "enabled"? There are two separate settings, one for polling mode and one for polling settings. Change polling mode to "enabled" and set polling interval to 5 minutes (or whatever you prefer) in polling settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
It's not working for me either. I emailed the developer yesterday and apparently it's handled differently by different phones. I used to have the 3D as well and it worked fine. I can't get it to work on the ET4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
So I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a few days and for the most part love it. One thing that surprises me is that the screen... The screen's quality was one of the main reasons I bought the phone, but whenever the screen is mostly white or a light color, it just looks... bad. Like it isn't one uniform color, it's almost a grid. The lower the screen brightness, the worse it is.

I'm just wondering if this is a fluke or if everyone's phone is like this, and this is just an effect of the pentile display or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I'm seeing it as well, my old phone's TFT screen looks far better at low brightness.

The nexus looks grainy due to the pentile as well as a brownish tint at lowest setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guitarevan07:
I've very worried about this. I'm the type that COULDN'T STAND the pentile on the Razr, like, return day 1 type of can't stand it.

Is the nexus considerably better as far as the grainy blocky pentile? I heard the resolution makes it a lot better. Is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I haven't seen Razr in person, but Bionic was terrible.

The Nexus' isn't anywhere near like that but for someone OCD like me, I've found it slightly annoying - but not enough to not recommend it based on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Like Nexus S, Google choose too warm colours also for GN. Anyone can notice the yellowish effect/tint in white background even with brightness set to max level. So dont worry our screens are fine... f#...n google has made this choise.

Supercurio said today that he will try to fix that and also boost up the brightness.... also paul will give it a try.

Well done Google for ruining the best display out there :mad:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DaveC1964:
I have an ATT Infuse running stock ROM and rooted.

Is there a way to unlock the phone without having to have a non ATT SIM? I read some of these unlock methods and they always mention putting in another carrier's SIM after unlocking to complete. I don't have another SIM but want to unlock phone to give as a gift for someone without a SIM yet. I just want to unlock so they can use whatever service they want.

Can this be done if so how? I don't want any custom ROMs or anything, just unlock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Don't think so, but I'm not positive. You can always borrow a T-Mobile sim or buy one off e-bay real cheap.
[Kindle Fire General] mrrush101:
Most cases for the Kindle Fire are expensive. This is cheap and well built

I bought this case at Office Max for 20.00 today. It's for the Blackberry Playbook but fits great with the kindle. The inside provides 3 grooves for a built in stand. The bottom lip covers the whole bottom kindle edge and the top two corners are also well built, no elastic bands here. Staples also sells this.

It's called Targus Truss™ Case/Stand for BlackBerry® PlayBook

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
I'm reading all these posts with extensive lists of applications frozen in order to improve performance and increase battery life.

Freezing an application that isn't running in the background, a system application, shouldn't have any effect on performance or battery life. Freezing an application you never use should have no consequence, since you never use it.

So for all these lists I see where people name every last application they froze or removed, which applications that run in the background, polling or doing other housekeeping, can you really freeze that makes a difference in performance and battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Not ALL apps will run in the background.....but some of the bloatware does and thats what people are trying to freeze/unistall some apps run weather you use them or not. so cutting the fat is always a good idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
So which ones should we care about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Freeze all the ones in the list. It most certainly will improvement performance and battery life. And if there just frozen and say the ice ota becomes available....then u can unfreeze them put stock recovery back and take the ota ...where if u had deleted them u have no way to take an ota update with out using Odin to put back the stock tar but if your running. A custom Rom .. you can't take the ota anyway. So just delete the bloat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
adding to silver

if ur concerned you can choose to just MOVE them instead of deleting them.....that way you can just put them back if you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
So if I root n just freeze bloat I can take ota? Its only if you install a custom rom you can't do ota? Also what if I only install a kernel can I ota or no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
the idea of freezing apps is that OTA's require their presence (think dependencies) to execute the update. We freeze because "thawing" -or reverting to their native state, is quick and painless.

Freezing apps can be a gamble however, some system or user apps may become inadvertently affected causing some instability- a cause and affect scenario such as 'Facebook' not functioning if one froze 'Facebook authenticator' ect. If one refers to the user generated lists in the general threads, the occurrence of such problems are likely mitigated or known. Keep in mind too that when doing this for battery performance, make only a few tweaks at a time so you know what is truly effective.

I do not have a clear answer to your question pertaining to the kernel, however I assume that may need be stock as well if the recovery must return to stock to accept an OTA.
