I am flashed to Cricket, and I've noticed since I've flashed my new Rom that I no longer receive that tethering msg or get throttled by cricket, I had exceeded my 1 gig data cap by about 2.5 gigs and I was wondering how this is possible, I AM NOT COMPLAINING WHAT SO EVER just curious of how and why this is, I wanna share what Rom I'm running but I'm scared that if I do cricket will catch on and find a way to shut it down, but I will share because you guys at xda are awesome and without you guys I wouldnt know any of the stuff I know about flashing. Any questions feel free to ask, and make that 3 gigs over my cap and still getting 1.3 to 1.7 mbps which isn't much but is far better that 60-120 kbps lol :D
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
From past experience I know that there are ways to bypass the proxy server configurations that the ISP hard codes in the phone. I remember that back in my Epic 4g days, using the *#data# code I could access the data radio options and remove my phone off the Sprint proxy servers which kind of bettered my internet experience.

It can be possible that when you flashed the phone to Cricket you may have had those settings removed and thus maybe avoiding some level of visibility within their backend.

I would say the following to you: enjoy while you can and enjoy responsibly, because that freedom may not last forever and their can be consequences from this that my get you banned from the operator permanently if you don't use caution.
[HTC EVO 3D] Siya Nová:
I didn't flash my own phone to Cricket, I bought it already flashed, I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, I was getting throttled and that tethering msg while on Clean Rom 3.0, but ever since flashing Warm 2.3 RCMIX it has been a non issue, I haven't changed any data configurations or anything, guess I'm just a lucky bastard, and I have WiFi at my apt so I'm going to stop abusing my usage so I can stay below the radar and not get caught stealing bandwidth, from now on I will proceed with caution, I appreciate the the information, I don't wanna get banned from Cricket lol even though I've been thinking bout switching to Sprint anyway since I have a clean ESN #

Hi Guys,

Two theme's for MIUI which I have used for my NDT MIUI Elegance Edition Roms.

1. Unzip the files

2. Put the related mtz file to MIUI\Theme on your SD card

3. Apply.

Screenshots below.

This should work for all MIUI editions. Let me know otherwise.

Density 167 / Dark Background:

Default:

orhtun01

Thank you for the theme. I have been able to set everything but the keyboard. is it possible to make a cwm of the keyboard, so I can install it?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orhtun01:
Of Course.

Link Here.

Contains:

- Elegance Keyboard

- ADWLauncher (Themed, as seen on the screenshots, you can select as default launcher after boot)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK so I use everything your theme has to offer. I have a couple question however

- I installed my full version of ADW EX (because of the extended options) this , unfortunately, took away the icons! So do you have a ADW icon pack? Or a file of the icons/

- I notice when I long click the home screen and the menu pops up, the text in the selections is black (I noticed this on 1 or 2 other screens as well) Is there a way to change this text to white as all of the other screen selection windows are? Let me know if you need a screenshot.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orhtun01:
I will see if I can create a separate ADW theme which you can apply.

Alternatively, I can provide you the res files which you can update by yourself, or provide me the APK file, will update and create a CWM. PM me.

Which MIUI are you using? It Depends also on the default system font color.

Can you give me some screenshots? Will check it afterwards.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This would be fantastic:cool:

I was able to extract the launcher icon for now, but at this point I would have to manually replace each icon in ADW icon picker, so a icon pack would be great.

1- I'm using Samsung Captivate/Galnet MIUI v2.2.10, not sure of the default font color, I'm guessing white. I am using MIUI Elegance Theme with Black BackGround

2- Screenies in order

​
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orhtun01:
Now I see what you mean.

The black text on the ADW Launcher is caused by the system re-settings of the theme.

I had this issue for a while when ADW was used on top of MIUI combined with black theme.

For this, I need to re-compile ADW Launcher en re-set the test color to white OR use MIUI theme for launcher. But the latter was causing issues when normal launcher of MIUI was used.

Will check what I can do....

Attached the icons for ADW Launcher which has been used.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thank you.... Where is your donate button? So this ADW pack is put into cwm and unzipped? Does this apply it or will it be found in the theme section of AWD?

Please keep in mind, the screenies shown above are only w/ black text, in this menu. All others are white text.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] homanhhung87:
I'll try it, very nice, thank men!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] crisps:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] javamaniac:
I just wiped everything on my phone, ODIN back to froyo, cleared everything, and installed ZEUS 5.2

I then installed the ICS theme for ZEUS that is in the post.

How do I remove the launcher button from being in the bottom of the screen all the time, and how do you remove the back, home, and "page view" or whatever its called buttons from the bottom of the screen?

Im trying to get my launcher to be similar to that of CM7 which i switched from. I wanted to see if i get better battery life with ZEUS. If anyone has any ideas, please post a reply here. Thank you very much!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ppalbicke:
If you are using the ICS launcher you cannot other wise you need to use another launcher like GO launcher or adw.

You can't remove those buttons... part of the launcher. And please ask questions in my q&a thread

Hi there!

I am italian, so please forgive my bad english;)

I've bought a samsung omnia w (gt i8350) with wp7 mango. I've unlocked the phone with interop unlock.

How can i change the macaddress from it?

I've also found the registry key of it (hklm\software\samsung\wifi\macaddress).

But when i will save a new key with a registry editor from touchexerience.com the message appears "unable to change"

Is there any possibility to solve this problem?

I would be glade about it. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesmartguyy:
This registry entry is most probably locked with the abstraction layer, hooked directly to the L2 of the device. Hence, cannot be changed manually.

Spoofing a mac is a different idea which requires tinkering with abstraction layer or communication stack itself, and might not be possible with just the registry entry change.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipfelgoas:
So is there already a method which allows to change it?
[HTC Wildfire S] lookthatguyisstoned:
I just git this metro pcs wildfire s and I have read that I can flash a Rom without rooting since I unlocked amy bootloader, however I can not find anything saying that if I do I can keep my mobile network data, sorry for posting this if it is answered somewhere else, if that is the case I would appreciate a link. Thanks guys.
[HTC Wildfire S] matt5eo:
Do you mean your mobile network settings? If so I can answer your question, your sim card has those importen settings saved, so if you turn on your phone with the new rom everythink will work on its own :)
[HTC Wildfire S] lookthatguyisstoned:
Yes but that's on a gsm phone, and my metro pcs wildfire is a cdma. And I read that the metro cdma loses mobiledata when rooted.
[HTC Wildfire S] bobdamnit:
I'm running the same phone, rooted, with a stock+a2sd ROM. Mobile data works great.
[HTC Wildfire S] lookthatguyisstoned:
i wish i could take a thanks away from you... losing faith in xda here, these loser noobs are answering questions for people and the guys that know are nowhere. i did in fact take your advice and flashed stock sense to my metro phone, now i have no mobile network access, it started as soon as i flashed the stock sense marvelc rom and even when i restore my backups and such i have no mobile network. i saw in a different post that someone is working on a fix for this problem, i hope so.

in short, bobdamnit you have been less than unhelpful and should keep out of things that are not addressed to you!

i only wanted an answer from a dev, or someone who has had this problem and fixed it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Wow! I feel your pain, dude.

I, too, have witnessed garbage responses coming in from certain members of the community who (I'm sure, if asked) consider themselves to be the greatest thing to happen to the Internet since streaming porn.

Because of the useless replies coming in, I actually included a disclaimer in Post #1 of a question thread I started (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487627&page=5) and got so much grief because of it! In the end, I think you will see I was justified, though.

I asked that only those

who actually know the answer

, please respond. I also said to please not respond with a certain type of answer (because it misses the point). Sure enough, both my caveats were violated. And now, some elitist members are trying (emphasis on TRYING) to make me look bad, but failing miserably. The beauty of an email thread is that you can always scroll up and read what everyone wrote. The issue here is that some folks took HUGE offense when I told them their answers were off the mark (because they were!). There were a couple of folks with helpful insight - which I thanked, but those posts of mine were conveniently ignored.

I even had one developer proclaim that devs hated the android community, and yet I am the one being rude?! Simply stunning.

Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and I hope you eventually find the CORRECT resource (on this forum, would be nice) to help you through your WFS issue.

It is for those reasons that I am giving you your first Thanks!

Thanks for posting such a note. Hopefully others will open their eyes because of it.

[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Basically it is so simple even a VICODAN can do it!

This is for anyone that accepted the 2.3.4 update from HTC and lost s-off and root running software release 2.77.651.3

Step 1) Get root using my method here (FRE3VO DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1482851

Step 2) Place misc.img and PG06IMG.zip on sdcard using adb push or windows explorer via usb.

Step 3) Flash misc.img and REMOVE THE BATTERY from the phone as soon as you run the misc.img command. DO NOT SHUTDOWN OR POWER OFF using the method here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357157

Step 4) Hold volume down button and hold the power button for one second and release while still holding the volume down button.

Phone should find PG06IMG.zip and RUU to Android 2.2. From here you can flash engineering s-off bootloader.

Again before you ask, make sure you have a freshly formatted FAT32 microSD card. If your phone can't find the zip, you are doing something wrong, your SD card isn't formatted in FAT32, you aren't using CWM, or you need to try another SD card.

You will have to manually upgrade to the new cellular radio after obtaining s-off and downgrading to Froyo again.

[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
So if I'm reading this correctly this is just a guide to downgrade to froyo and not to achieve s-off for a new bootloader right??? I guess if there was just a new bootloader already unlocked I could just download it and do "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img" and then "fastboot reboot-bootloader" still keeping s-off but flashing a new bootloader without having to care about how it got unlocked in the first place.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jsc619:
So I'm getting my wife a new phone for valentines day but have a question about battery life. She talks on the phone for hours a day so it needs to last at least most of the day. She likes both the amaze and the sensation as well as the galaxy s2. My question is has there been significant improvements in the battery life of the amaze with Roms and or kernels. Or should I just get her one of the other 2. I know the sensation has some ics Roms out for it. How is the battery life on them? Thanks for any help.

[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
Definitely not the sensation when it comes to battery life. Comparing the Amaze vs the SGS2, sgs2 has a much better life. Sgs2 has a slightly higher battery capacity than the amaze, and touchwiz isn't as a resource-hog as much as senseUI. So for battery life, my vote is go for the sgs2.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adamboyd83:
Granted I have only had my Amaze for a few days but I have had about the same stock battery life wise on stock ROM for Amaze as I was getting on custom ROM and kernel on GS2.

Battery Life aside if you don't plan on rooting your girl's phone I would suggest the Amaze over the GS2. The stock ROM on the GS2 as is is pretty laggy. The Amaze is pretty snappy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
The lag on the sgs2 home was corrected after the Firmware OTA upgrade to UVKL1 & GB 2.3.6
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
I have to say the Sensation I have owned alot of phones. The Amaze battery life at the moment is terrible. I lose 30-40% overnight on standby. I was and still am very happy with my sensation on android revolution rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
I've never used the Galaxy S II so i wouldn't know, but I had a different experience with the sensation, I used the anker battery on my sensation and i'm using the same battery on the amaze (I've never used the stock battery that came with the amaze) and battery life was way better on the sensation, it even stays at 100% alot longer than the amaze, it takes about 3 minutes to go down to 98% (probably software related)
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
i have two anker 1900ma batteries, plus the stock one. With xboarders custom rom, i get 25-30 hours on the ankers, and 15-20 on the stock. Thats good enough for me, i have wifi on al the time and stream music via bluetoot for 5-8 hours a day, i wouldnt say its horrible batteriy life, people just ned to control their settings, that's what android is about after all isnt it?

If you're losing 30-40% overnight on standby, you're doing something wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saejin2000:
Hello all,

I first posted this in Q&A on the home forum. There doesn't seem to be any interest so I thought I'd post it here again. Below is what I wrote on the original post.

"If you’ve been supremely annoyed with the AOS bug like I have , here’s some interesting information I’ve found (Did a search and it appears no one else has found this yet). It’s a paper written (in 2010)by Rafael J. Wysocki which touches deep into the subject. What I hope is that it will help some developers understand this bug and ultimately integrate a work around / fix as soon as possible. Hopefully this will help some users understand what is going on with their phones as well.

I have and Epic 4g Touch and all the ROMS I’ve tried have this bug but according to the article, looks like a kernel problem. My suspend / events/0 processes runs for a long time, eating up cpu and I don’t have it as bad as some people but thought it's worth mentioning.

Basically what I get from the paper is that…

1. The suspend (and by association the events/0 process) process is Google’s implementation of a power management system, an add on to the Linux Kernel

2. That the wakelock / suspend feature is , to make a long story short , not working the way it’s supposed to.

3. “Poorly” written apps, or apps that are written without the inner workings of how suspend /wakelocks work, will trigger this bug. This can be ANYTHING.

4. Supposedly, kernel version 2.6.37 will fix this. The Epic 4g Touch kernels are all .35 as far as I know which explains the fact that so many Epic 4g Touch owners complain about this.

Would love for the smarter than me people to give their take on this?

Since this is my first post, it won't let me post a link. Do a google search for Rafael Wysocki suspend_blockers.pdf and it should be the first link that shows up."

Hopefully there's more interest here!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pcmanager:
how do I check to see if this bug is causing battery drain on my phone. thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saejin2000:
If you go to Settings, About Phone, Battery usage, you'll see "Android OS" take an unusal amount of battery time. Mine varies from 25-80%, some others I've read, consistently get 80%. You should be running on battery for a while before you check this since if you've only been on battery for a few hours, that stats may be misleading.

A more precise way is also to download the free Battery monitor Widget, and in the statistics section, you'll see the processes "suspend" and "events/0" take hours of usage when it shouldn't. You also may see *wakelock* take up hours of time.

Some dwho have it bad, download watchdog, and monitor on the fly, which processes go over a certain amount of % usage. If your batter drains quickly, suggest this route to confirm its suspend and events/0.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pcmanager:
thanks for all those great infos. my android os is usually under 10 percent after several hours of use so I don't think that is buggin me. Could you explain exactly what a wakelock is?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saejin2000:
A wakelock is, as I understand it, a process in the Android kernel that temporarily tells the Android device to hold off sleeping (stop the suspend process).

This allows for a process , application or device (such as your wi fi antenna) to turn back on and do what it needs to do. The suspend process is suppose to tell the phone to go back to sleep but with this bug, either or can get stuck and therefore use up more cpu that it's supposed to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saejin2000:


Interesting, I'm on EL29, have used Strong Steve's ROM but it still persists for me. Next thing I will try is to install Steve's ROM only, no additional apps.

I've gotten 2 days , 9 hours battery life (on light use, about 3 hours screen time, lowest setting) my last round but I've Juice Defender configured it to heck and undervolted as well. I think if I figure out what app may be contributing to this I just may get 3 days, may be 4 days battery life.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gk325:
So i have system updates always running. When I go to try and update PRL and firmware etc, it gives me an error. I assume I need to re-flash a stock ROM, then update? I wonder if my problem is this: My used my phone for a few weeks, then ported over a new number. Under phone info, it still shows the original number. It uses the original number for a hotspot confirmation. But my phone clearly has a new number. Is this need for the phone to update causing the battery drain?
