The fix I used involves doing a build from source. If you have a linux box around and are comfortable with that I can give you the steps. Otherwise, bigrushdog seemed like he was going to get that change into the Team EOS ROM, so you may want to check with him on the status of that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambrice:
Also, I'm not sure if that fix will work for you now that I read your message. I was just enabling normal tethering, where my PC tethers to the Xoom and the Xoom shows up as an RNDIS device to the PC. You're trying to connect your phone as an RNDIS device to the Xoom, which is something different..

Apologies for the necro post, but I've been trying to get reverse-tethering via USB working since I'm in a place without wifi and need net access for my wingray.

I'm Currently running bigpart omni 4.4.2, which apparently does not feature the above USB options. Any pointers towards a fix, or a better Rom to use, would be greatly appreciated.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
Just posting what happened to me yesterday since I forgot some details about installing CM9 roms through ACMEInstaller2.

I decided to try CN's "Butta" CM9 rom, so figured I'd be safe and use the ACMEInstaller2 script to upgrade from CM7. I downloaded ACMEInstaller2 and the butta .zip file and put them in the proper directories on the TP and on my PC.

When I ran the novacom command from my PC, the TP went into double penguin mode, and lots of text scrolled up on the screen, but the rom never installed - probably because I didn't rename it to match the CM9 alpha files.

So when the TP rebooted, I went into Clockworkmod recovery, cleared system data/cache/dalvic, and then flashed CM9.

Seems to have worked, and everything appears to work okay, but I'm just wondering if this could cause problems down the road.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRman:
ACME should just install all the zips in "cminstall" regardless of name...

Your alternative sounds fine, but you lost all your apps. The upgrade would have kept your apps from CM7.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike-y:
Thanks for the response. looks like I'm okay then.

Losing the apps wasn't a big deal, I had everything backed up with TB anyway. After I installed gapps, I was able to DL the newest version of TB and restore my old apps.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullman2410:
Something similar happened to me last night when I ran novacom w/ ACMEInstaller2. I had to rename the newest KANG build to match the CM9 alpha build and it worked correctly the second time.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
If i'm not mistaken, the kernel in that rom is the same with Cowithgun's Cow In Black ROM, thus, if there is a wifi error, download this, and then

"4) Copy dhd.ko to /system/etc/wifi/ via Root Explorer"

it should work now :)

Uhh guys and gals?? - i'm not sure if anyone have noticed this but i sure have.. had my mt4g unrooted device upgraded to 2.3.4 gb via OTA last month (using Froyo 2.2.1 temp root prior to upgrade GB) and it was hella slow due to all the bloatwares it came with but now i'm just recently started to notice the rom acceleration picking up and its faster in terms of surfing through app widgets and loading response (even with bloatwares). I mean, is this a no-brainer improvement that we've all come to expect coming from Froyo to GB? sorry, it's a very NOOB question as I'm not so fond of reflashing roms and rooting devices... could someone please confirm this for me??

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33j7030:
well sounds to me that yours is rooted.... but mine isn't.. however, prior to noticing the speed improvements, i've cleaned out the cache and kill tasks to free up more memory (duh yeah i know what it'll do lol) but i've done that in the past and it was still hella sluggish... now, my device all of a sudden functions like its rooted.... I really have no other way to explain the cause of it but i think its pretty damn cool... -shrugs-

Go launcher slows my phone down. Badly. Btw, rooting your phone doesn't make it faster. Altering things once you have root CAN make it faster.

i have a samsung captivate with android 2.2 froyo and i want to go to 2.3.5 gingerbread. found this link http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1300843

my question is which should i download with bootloaders or without bootloaders?

kies mini will not update me and even bricked me so i dont want to ever use kies mini again. i have both odin one click and odin 1.7. also have heimdell one click and prefer to use it but cant find a stock 2.3.5 rom that will boot up on my phone. i have downloaded 2 and used heimdell but didnt work. heimdell is just so much easier but i will use odin if needed. i do want a stock rom nothing fancy since phone modding is a little new to me. i have a computer degree but phones are a whole different world lol...

[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
If you are going from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3, you will need a Odin or Heimdall file that contains the bootloaders. They changed between 2.2 and 2.3, and you have to have them to make 2.3 run properly.

I would suggest this UCKH3 one-click Heimdall solution. It will flash everything you need, and you don't have to open anything else to do it.

Just be aware that it won't have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, so you'll have to flash a different kernel or use a one-click with CWM baked in later.
[Captivate General] Jayc313:
I would recommend flashing the lastest build (KK4) from Samsung. Here is a link to Odin one clicks and Heimdall one clicks with gingerbread bootloaders.

You must have Gingerbread bootloaders to run Gingerbread roms, however they are backwards compatible with Froyo and Eclair so you won't have to flash bootloaders again.

[Captivate General] hurricanedad:
The other day, I got a text from AT&T indicating that an official 2.3.5 kernel was available for my Captivate. Great, so I fire up Kies mini and install it over my rooted stock 2.2.

Update goes well, I have Gingerbread. All of my apps remain in place. Re-root (SuperOneClick) and my Titanium Backup works like a charm.

However, I can't get my WiFI to connect to save my life. IT scans for about 15 seconds then shuts back off. I can't even enter WiFi settings manually, because it shuts off and "fail to save" the settings.

IS anyone else having issues with WiFI on the AT&T stock Gingerbread kernel? (No, I don't feel the need to upgrade, since I just want to be able to use TiBU)
[Captivate General] Hogan773:
I just updated to stock GB and have no issues with Wifi, although I am not rooted. I thought that rooting with SuperOneClick didn't work with this 2.3 stock.
[Captivate General] hurricanedad:
I'll have to check that when I get off of work. That's what I used to root the unit when on 2.2. I wonder if the root just carried through the upgrade?

Anyway, I am probably going to flash back to froyo and update GB again, sans root to see if that helps.

[HTC EVO 3D] Matt V:
I have a secondary Evo 3D on my account that recently took a crap. My friend that was using it took the OTA update and it caused it to be updated to 2.17 but also HBOOT 1.5. So from there I unlocked it via HTC unlock method and installed SupraROM. I don't know the exact details but the phone became stuck in an infinite reboot mode. I tried to do a wipe and install the latest MeanROM but when it would boot the battery indicator would show a red triangle with an exclamation point and reboot within 10 seconds. I swapped batteries with a working 3D so I know it's not the battery. I tried downloading a stock 2.17 rom PG86IMG but it won't recognize or install in bootloader or TWRP (I've tried multiple zips). In bootloader it still shows S-ON and then ***UNLOCKED*** in pink up top.

What would be the best way to recover this phone back to 100% stock? Is it bricked or can it be fixed?
[HTC EVO 3D] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
You will have to re lock the bootloader first. From fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"

After the bootloader is re locked, it will allow the PG86IMG.zip to update the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Matt V:
Oh man I hope its that simple. Thanks!

[HTC EVO 3D] BrianEvo:
I second this!

Can you go back to STOCK without having to plugin your phone to PC? because my device cannot be recognized!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
If you're Hboot 1.50, you need the pc to recognize the phone to use fastboot.

You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to flash kernels/boot.img files that are part of ROMs.

(There is a way to use FlashImage app for the kernel beforehand if the phone will boot to the OS).

You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to format/restore a backup (or the kernel won't get loaded).

You must use the fastboot command to "relock" your phone.

You must "relock" your phone to run the stock RUU.exe's and stock RUU.zip's (PG86IMG.zip).

If you can't get the pc to recognize the phone, try a different PC and especially try SEVERAL usb cables as these tend to go bad.

Hi,

Maps appears always in the battery stats. I don't use Maps. I don't have GPS enabled (I enable it only when I use navigation software; not maps). Location services are always disabled.

When I force stop Maps, this app start itself automatically (right after stopping; sometimes afte some time).

How should I stop it permanently. It drains battery not that much.. but still would like to save some percent.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I believe you can disable it, if you dont like/have that option you can freeze it with Tibu.

Edit: Strange though it doesn't ever show in my bat stats. Are you using Latitude? I guess it could be showing because of Navigation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
I noticed my g-maps kept showing up in recent apps, and it turned out that it was because of an updated. Once I went into maps, and saw the "new features" page, it hasn't done it since.

Probably not related, but figured I'd throw it out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I agree with the Pirate; seems like latitude is signed in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noma_pride:
from what I've read around the internet, this is a problem across devices.

I don't use Latitude (never have), and have turned off location services. But Maps is still a persistently active service/process. I posted on a Google board, so hopefully they will reply.

Maybe the operative question is: who isn't experiencing this issue? Maybe we can figure out why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Well i never have maps show up in my battery list, nor in system panel list. But i do see maps running in my settings app menu, 1 service and 1 process. So never seems to use any resources for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Google needs to fix this...can't really do anything to remedy this besides freezing or disabling the package when you are not planning to use it.

I've noticed considerably increased battery life with the apk frozen...even with latitude off and location updating disabled Maps causes some battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fred_yu_job:
Clear data is a solution . . . sort of!

By clearing the data of the maps (in the application manager), you can have the Google maps drop off from your running app list.

But, all the setup/data in the Google maps will be lost by doing so !

so, this is a solution if you don't care the setup / cached data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallsg:
I have a Captivate with rooted stock Gingerbread. I have to kill Maps ever so often when it shows up. It's always low double digits percentage of battery usage for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhd-android:
Sorry for the near-necropost, but I'm coming at a similar issue, from a slightly different angle, and wanted to scope out any thoughts anyone might have here instead of opening a new thread.

My issue with Maps constantly running is no as focussed on the battery life issue, but rather privacy. I run LBE (basically a selective App permission firewall) and one of the features of this program is the ability to Allow/Prompt/Deny certain application privileges. Well, I set it to prompt me to allow Maps to obtain my location, thinking that it would be only a minimal annoyance since I only use Maps once or twice a week.

Think again. Did you know that while Maps sits there, open, in the background, it checks your location constantly? (well, once every half our or so). I finally set LBE to allow maps to get my location without prompting me, but LBE still flashes a notification bar alert to let me know when an app has requested something like my location. Sure enough, every half hour or so, Maps asks for my location, regardless of how long (measuring even into the days) it has been since I have actually used the app. I don't have Latitude running.

This cannot possibly be something that everyone else is just cool with?

Please tell me this isn't just an accepted evil without a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Root and delete maps from /system/app. :D do t hardly use it anyways. There is also an older version somewhere that doesn't run in the background and you can actually stop.

Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derekwilkinson:
Google Maps is running for the network location... barely uses any battery life (having your screen on for a minute will use more battery life) and will not slow down your phone. You guys are freaking out over nothing :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhd-android:
No, that's not the case, or at least that's not the behavior that I am referring to.

Looking at the event log in LBE, there are actually two things that Maps is doing at regular intervals in the background:

"Track Your Position"

"Obtain Your Current Position"

That's how it is worded. I'll also add that I have experienced other apps where LBE asks me whether I'll grant permission to obtain my "Network Location". That is a distinct permission (at least as far as LBE categorizes them), and is not what I'm concerned about with Maps.

Regarding the suggestion of uninstalling Maps, I still use it, as mentioned, once or twice a week.
