Wifi tethering working :d

I managed to get wifi tethering to work by tampering with the settings in this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether :D :D

I tried quite a few settings, the tethering sometimes seemed to be activated without errors, but it wasn't showing up to any devices.

But finally I got it working with these settings:

Change Device-Profile > Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Change Setup-Method > WEXT (ad-hoc)

Enable WiFi-Encryption > (up to you, but some devices have issues with WEP encryption, like my partner's Galaxy 5 running CM7.2. I use "Access Control" instead)

Enable Access-Control > (again, up to you)

and leave all the other settings as they are :)

and BINGO :D

I'm now tethering it to my laptop, desktop, and my fiancee's Galaxy 5 :D

Maybe this info could be used to produce a fix for the native android wifi tethering? Then WPA2 encryption could be used :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Wow man, that is AWESOME, as you say, hopefully it can help me find the problem. I thought it was kernel related, but now I guess it's not. I'll have to review it again. Thanks :D

[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
No problem :) some of the other options makes the network appear on other devices, but gets stuck on obtaining IP address when trying to connect. So that could be good in finding out what's wrong too maybe :)
[HTC ChaCha] kesongpinoy:
hello, any idea why poweramp's DVC feature is not supported in this ROM? thanks a lot! :)
[HTC ChaCha] Bunnybugs_007:
The Q&A on Play says only mid to high end devices are supported for DVC... guess we are downgraded to low-end;)
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
This is irrelevant to the CM9 rom, but this is the only thread that gets looked at often :P

I'm wondering - would it be possible to compile the "sense" stuff from the original stock rom for CM9?

I'm not necessarily fond of all of it, but stuff like the facebook integration might be useful. especially for figuring out how to catch the facebook button presses, and open an application with them.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
We don't have Sense sources, so unfortunately it's not possible (or the amount of work required would be huge).

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
This one is easily done; you just need to add appropriate key mapping to the key_id event of the fb button. Might need the key definition as well though; haven't checked the latest key files.
[HTC ChaCha] kesongpinoy:
FB light for tasker

in Tasker, I can create a task that will light up the FB button whenever a profile is triggered (in my case, whenever a new SMS arrives). however, the FB light doesn't turn off after I check the new SMS, unlike in other light up tasks (keyboard lights, button lights etc.) is this a CM9 related-issue and do you have any idea on how to fix this? thanks a lot! :)
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
could you maybe take a look when you get a chance, and see if there's an easy way to map it to open an app?

all I've read so far seems to point to it only being able to do things like power off, screen lock, camera, etc. nothing that actually points it to an app.
[HTC ChaCha] fourthletter:
Thank you so much for the ROM, my wife is really enjoying ICS, seriously high quality ROM :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Minor issue, don't know if it's just me, but in latest update, the camera app doesn't work, but lgcamera (from google play) works fine :)
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
works fine for me. must be a bad flash or some corrupt config or something.
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
Are you sure that would work to open a new app? I might be wrong but I understood that it would only be possible to perform pre-defined actions with the buttons, and those do not allow to start apps. The scancode pops up when you use key event display, it's "184". The long press is captured properly as well but is there a way of mapping it to start an app without coding?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It should be. The tough thing would be to find the action out. For example on stock ROM it used to be something like "fb_update" or something like that. Will look into it when I'll find some free time.
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
Wasn't this a HTC_SHARE action on the stock HTC rom for the ChaCha? I believe it must have come with Sense and all that...

The best app for that was a korean one called "fakebook" but it won't work without Sense I believe, or at least that's what it seems like after looking into the APK. There is another app in the market but it's paid and I think it didn't work on CM either.

So to do that kind of mapping (fb button = app start) it might actually require either an app in itself to intercept keypresses or some intervention in the CM sources and a new build.

But I might be misunderstanding the problem, my experience with Android is still quite limited.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I believe it's not that easy. Having the key being recognized is easy, but you need to code the action you want for that event.

I haven't flashed anything wrong, that's for sure, I'd cleared all data, cache, dalvik-cache before flashing it. Tried clearing the data on the app, but still the same.

[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I can say for certain that my battery life has -drastically- improved with this Rom.

by drastically, I mean I used to have to charge my phone nightly with my everyday use of it.

Now? I charge it once or twice a week depending on whether I use the phone for games as well as the everyday use.
[HTC ChaCha] kesongpinoy:
way better battery life than stock, but cm7 still has the best battery life for my chacha. staying at cm9 though because of its polish :cyclops:
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
Has this project finished? Unfortunate if it has :(
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yes, it has finished. It's off the shelf now. We all switched to stock ROM HTC Sense because it's so awesome. We've managed to figure that out months after it was released.:eek:
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
In case it's not perfectly clear, he's joking :P

This rom is still getting updates every so often, and adlx and a few others are working on CM10 stuff.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Does anyone know how to reset the data usage warning by editing a file somewhere or clearing data?

the data warning limit can't be changed on here :( it's doing my tree in!

I found a file in /data/data/com.android.settings/data_usage.xml or somat like that, but it didn't have the data warning limits in it :(
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
So the time has come to update my wife's chacha with some of this latest CM love. Is the info on the first page up to date or I need to scroll through the entire thread?

It is already running a custom rom with custom recovery installed.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Here's the info ;)
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
I did full wipe, formated the sd card also and installed the version cm-chacha-9.0-dev.zip + gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip. Both files match goo.im md5.

The phone boots fine, i enter the pin (invisible numbers) and then the phone reboots. The messaging app crashes.

I let it settle, without entering the pin and after 1-2 minutes the phone reboots. So basicly it boots and reboots shortly after, no matter what I do.

Any advice?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Well, that is unexpected. Could you get a full logcat, from the beginning of the boot, and post it on pastebin.com.

Could you try to use the alternative RIL libraries that someone posted for CM7, iirc there's a link from the CM7 OP to it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
I redownloaded the zips again, even though even before they mathed the md5. And at the third reinstall it worked as it should. The phone booted to the config setup and it is working now. I am setting up the phone as we speak.

Before that, the phone was booting to the homescreen already. As if the full wipe had not worked.

List of bugs I have encountered so far, some of them are already known bugs:

1. the invisible numbers when entering the sim pin

2. dialer app - the keypad works only with the symbols on the keypads, not the main function. Dialing by name needs the use of the onscreen keypad.

3. the weather on the lockscreen doesnt seem to sync to geolocation. - custom (manual) location works - I do not have maps application installed as it is not used on the phone.

4. lockscreen shortcuts are bit offscreen

5. keypad numbers are overlapping

5. camera is a bit slow (ghosting effect. pictures are fine if the subject stays still long enough). Haven't tried front camera.

6. facebook button doesn't work (nor do I have the FB app installed).

7. red button - turns screen off - needs getting used to, not so bad
[HTC ChaCha] tokafondo:
Just a quick maybe off-topic tip about this: take a look at this:

(click on image to open the source website of the picture)

It seems this device runs Android 4.0.3 Maybe a look at it could make the ChaCha CM ports improve.

[HTC ChaCha] tokafondo:
The mobile seems to be the the x20i model.

It almost a clone of the ChaCha. The original link was this:

http://www.zonadual.com/qwerty-dual-sim-android-note

Here is a guy that bought one, maybe some kind of dump of the rom could be obtained from him for you developers study it.

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/10835-Star-X20i

There are some guys that posted videos on the web about this model. Just search x20i in youtube.

I'm not making promotion of this phone, but this give everybody an idea of the workings of a qwerty phone with the form factor of the ChaCha that runs 4.0.3 out of the box.

CORRECTION: This seems to be running 2.3.x, with some strings changed to show 4.0.3... I apologize for not to do a little more research before posting something :rolleyes:
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
The current link works just fine.

There's a reason it is the way it is, and please do not give direct links to others if you stumble upon it. Please direct them to this thread to use the main download link.

IF you do not have twitter or facebook, PM Adlx asking for a more direct link, however one will not be given in this thread.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Anyway, a dump could be useful if you manage to get one. No need for him to be rooted, just an adb pull /system would be great.

Offtopic: Noticed your new build of CM10, adlx :D downloading now :D

Edit:

I can't believe how fast and smooth it is! Recent apps comes up pretty much instantly compared to the 1-2 second wait on CM9! It didn't like the Jellybean gapps I flashed after, it broke a few things like the browser and home key. But its brilliant! I can really see CM10 running properly on the chacha soon :D
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
Although any continued discussion on it should go on in the CM10 thread, I will mention that the reason the browser and home key got messed up from flashing gapps is because gapps doesn't install properly(not enough space) by default. so it sort of 'half installs' and breaks things in the process.

I did post some methods of freeing up some space to be able to handle the full gapps package in the other thread. :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Ah, I been looking around for the CM10 thread, didn't know it had been made yet :) my bad....
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
ADLX and others - should we still report any issues with CM9 on the ChaCha, or is the focus now exclusively on CM10?

Thanks for your hard work as always.

i bought this; it's a chinese clone. it is really really big. and it's not ics. they hacked a gb rom to display a different version number. it is definitely not ics. the software is really screwy and there's not good support for the physical keyboard (the onscreen one keeps popping up). lots and lots of bugs and things that make it fairly unusable. i returned it.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Its hard to believe that they can get away with that... I thought false advertisement was illegal :/ but I bet someone could make that piece of rubbish work well with cyanogenmod tho.
[HTC ChaCha] zeg392:
How do I cancel the power button to unlock the screen?
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Break it? Lol

If its other buttons you're trying to configure to unlock the screen, you can do that in the lockscreen settings I think.

Does anyone have the download link? Jelly bean has too many bugs atm.

My keys were messed up a bit so i had to go back to my old rom...

Alex/ADLX... can you guys help me fix the keys on my HTC Status? its the AT&T one (US Version)

I have tried the method mentioned in the earlier pages and edited the text files so that they match my phone keys and then i also pushed them to the system/usr/keychar folder and rebooted the phone but still no luck.
[HTC ChaCha] frostwildfire:
[Q]Alex C. now modpunk get fixed the most annoying bugs on CM9 for WFS, will you port that last update to our Chacha?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Although not all, many bugs are specific to the Chacha, where the WfS won't help:

- keyboard layout

- display orientation

- front camera
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
Although I wouldn't mind seeing if it does fix anything, and it would also be a good opportunity to merge this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1960117

I think Adlx is more focused on JB right now.

although luckily it's now the libs are flashable via a zip, so I might give it a try at some point without it being merged.

I also might try something like odexme to save some more space if it will work.

and yes, I did basically beg for JB :P but unfortunately it's rather buggy at the moment. CM9 is more stable from what I've seen. Not as fast in some cases, but definitely less buggy.

So hopefully CM9 will get a little more love before Adlx totally gives up on it. :)
[HTC ChaCha] Moe92:
Bump...
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
What is the issue with the keys? and which files specifically did you try editing?
[HTC ChaCha] Moe92:

Always check the top of the file's comments before editing any file.

That being said, I don't know much about keymapping in android. but I noticed that, and I imagine thats the reason it isnt working.

[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I don't know if there is a way :/ nearly all cm9/10 unofficial builds for armv6 phones have this problem because of drivers they don't have. I don't understand it fully but that's my take on it lol. I know it's been done with some phones like the galaxy 5 tho, so maybe.. :)

Hey guys... just wanted to share something with you guys. If you guys don't like using apollo, then maybe you guys can try the stock music apk. I found it on a thread here at XDA and gave it a try... it works perfectly for me may work for you. Also if you guys want to use it, you will have to move it to /system/app and then reboot. (Don't forget the permissions)

As far as I know, its only for 4.0+

Link below

http://db.tt/7wrvckd8

Edit****

I found a better alternative to the file mentioned above. Its the google music apk for ICS. I think this would be the best alternative for the apollo music apk. You are however most welcome to download the above file if it suits your needs...

I'm not going to be very popular when i say this but, i tried CM9 and had to revert to trusty OSR.

Just too many things not quite right yet - i'm not even that keen on the colour and style of the notif. bar - but thats not "our" fault it's Google :)
[HTC ChaCha] sandrows:
You can write in Arabic by doing the following:

(All files are attached)

1. Flash the Arabic keypad files.

2. Extract libhtc_ril.zip and, using a file explorer, replace libhtc_ril.so in /system/lib by the one extracted and then chmod it to 744.

3. Install Parfield keyboard apk.

The only problem I face is to quickly switch keyboards, between Arabic Keyboard which is Parfield and the Android Keyboard that is English.. Every time I have to go to Setting >> Languages & Input and change the Default keyboard from there.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
That's really interesting, as many people were having issues about this. I remember testing with a user Parfield kbd, and it had some problem with some keys not correctly mapped, but it was in CM7.2 iirc. Maybe that's the reason why you provide alternate keypad files.

A question, why change the rules libs? Are they somehow involved in the keyboard support??

Ups, that shouldn't be happening.

Could you check the /tmp/recovery.log right after flashing, for example, run this after flashing the rom:

But I just tried something and get fixed.

1.Use any File-explorer App to reinstall the stock superuser.apk@/system/app

Then you can find that superuser will not get FC until the next reboot.

2.Download supersu from GooglePlay as usual. And use the "reinstall as a system app" function in the app.

3.Reboot

4.Done

By the way, NO PROBLEM with mobile network for me. Just camera cannot connect. Network is just fine.

And browser and external videos are broken. Browser videos just quit flashing a second and external player says "Sorry, this video cannot be played."

So it seems everything video related is broken. OMX Libs are not integrated into this rom correctly. Maybe you missed a step or did something wrong?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yes, I did something wrong indeed ;). Found I missed a step. Good mobile network is working as I really had no clue what it could have been lol.

Watch this folder http://goo.im/devs/adlx/chacha/cm9/. I have uploaded another build that might fix some stuff. I'm going blind, I haven't had even time to flash those builds actualy.
[HTC ChaCha] furkandeger:
Downloading the latest one, exciting!

EDIT: Camera is now back and working for taking pictures but apart from that everything video related is still broken. No browser videos or external or any. Same symptoms. So whatever you did was not able to fix the issue with OMX Libs. Sad, but I think you will be able to figure it out :)

Download Link for CM9

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't seem to find the download link for the CM 9. I tried the download link provided in OP's post, but that leads me to a page stating that the file is not found.

I tried couple of links posted by users in this thread and those are dead ends as well.

You are not alone.

Seems like goo.im had some issues and this affected every developer sharing files through goo.im. The last time I checked there were only four developers in the "Developers" section of goo.im. Now I see 30+. So, seems like they're restoring. Slowly.

Hello,

have you found a fix for recording movies using camera?

Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] furkandeger:
The fact that everything video related including recording videos using camera is broken is a consequence of missing OMX libs, so without them ported, you will not be able to fix video recording.

That was my thought though, need adlx.xda to confirm.

Hi guys,

May I know why you guys are using CM9 over CM10? I find CM10 to be equally stable. Camera works (not video) in CM10. Battery life is also better. No lags, rather I find it a bit more resposive.

only call handling window have some issues(shows portrait mode breifly)
