[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
As you have experience with this app, can you let me know if a tablet or iPod can be tethered to your phone?

It's rare, but on occasion I allow some other things to connect to my phone such as a deactivated android phone. I really only need to allow 2 devices at once as a minimal.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
To answer your actual question (which everybody seems to be missing): The only phones we currently have that has the required unlock level to change stuff like that are the Huawei W1 (maybe others than the W1?) which is very low-end, and the Samsung ATIV line (ATIV S, etc.) which are pretty good although not on the same level as the new top-end Nokia devices (they were good at launch, but are now about a year old). Still far more powerful than any WP7 device, though.

Unfortunately, I don't know that anybody has found the required policies to set, yet. It's possible, but highly unlikely, that the same provxml used on WP7 could be used with WP8; provxml is very limited on WP8 so even though we can theoretically use it on interop-unlocked phones, it's not very useful. However, hotspot control may be one of the things it's useful for. Otherwise, there are capabilities (normally locked, but interop-unlock usually also means capability-unlock) related to setting those features as well. An app could be written that uses such capabilities. We would simply need to figure out how to do it...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitoriv:
I'm not thinking that would work for you. The Tether-X app requires your WP to be connected to a WiFi network, and the internet sharing is limited to the browser, with proxy set up in LAN settings. As its completely browser dependant with the need to have an existing network to connect to, I'm not sure how it would work for you. There's almost always workarounds to everything though. That app does have a free trial with limits only on the number of connections per month. I suggest try it, play around.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
I'll have to try it out on my sisters phone. Otherwise I'll have to really compare what family plan we have now to what the new one that allows tethering.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Forgot to mention I plan on registering the phone with a developer account to get the latest updates from MS.

AT&T is so slow at approving things.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brantmacga:
i've never had an issue activating the wifi hotspot on my lumia 920. i pay AT&T nothing extra for this feature; just go to settings, internet sharing, and slide to enable.

I also have this feature on my lumia 2520, and again, pay nothing extra.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
What plan do you have? I am on the old family plan.

Did you get your phone from AT&T?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_76:
I have Internet Sharing available on my AT&T HTC Titan WP7, Lumia 520 GoPhone version, and AT&T Lumia 920.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Well, I'm on a AT&T Family Plan. I checked my sisters phone, a Nokia Lumia 920, and I got an error telling me to order a plan that supports Internet Sharing.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netgh0st:
I have a gut feeling that tethering is controlled, because Microsoft deliberately uses different APN for the phone's own internet connection and for the internet connection sharing. So when you try to enable the feature, phone tries communicating via the internet sharing APN, and in case it is now allowed by the carrier, fails and reports back the error.

I have a TMo Lumia 925 and my main carrier is Telus (in Canada). The unlocked phone used to work fine with internet sharing in Canada, and was giving me wrong plan error when I was trying to use it with my $2/day TMo prepaid plan while in US. After Black update TMo broke the internet sharing with Telus as well, so I flashed one of the Latin America ROMs to be able to get both Black update and Internet Sharing working with Telus. However, even with the Latin America ROM it still fails to turn it on with TMo.

I think the Access Point app contains settings for all carriers, and it doesn't let you modify the internet sharing APN. I bet that if we were able to somehow trick the phone to set the same APN for it's own connection and for internet sharing, carriers would have much harder time blocking it on plans that are not supposed to have it.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Well I'll have to really compare my options in terms of AT&T's plans.

In my opinion, its real stupid that carriers would block this stuff.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csk1jw:
No, it is not. The $30 3GB DataPro smartphone dataplan does not allow tethering. The carriers typically sell more expensive dataplan which allows tethering. All AT&T brand phones have always prohibited any form of tethering, regardless of smart or dumb phones.

To get around such restriction, you need to use factory unlocked phones. Carrier unlocked phones may or may not work depend on carrier's policy on tethering.

Or if you are adventurous enough, then you can choose a carrier phone that can be de-branded. Good luck finding the generic firmware and tools for flashing the phones. I was able to get Internet Sharing working on Nokia Lumia 520 GoPhone after debranding with generic firmware.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1031982:
Any idea where to get either the firmware or a factory unlocked phone other then eBay? I would prefer to just get the firmware, but from what I have heard Nokia has decided to block access to the firmware images and possibly the tools as well.

Reason being the upfront cost of the phone.

My thoughts on it being stupid is using AT&T's reasoning for the limitation. There statement is to help prevent customers from going over there data plan. They could just as easily have a warning every time you enable the feature.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csk1jw:
Well, that's what every carrier wants their customers to believe. They are doing this to protect the customers, including forcing dataplan on every smartphones they know of without the option to pay-per-use or just a simple data blocked. The customers are too *dumb* to disable mobile data on their *smart* phones.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WTF IS GOING ON IT WAS FORMATED. PLEASE ANY ADVICE ON THIS ISSUE WOULD REALLY HELP ME. THANKS

[General Questions and Answers] krnonthak0b:
I've been searching the forums for awhile now and haven't been able to find what I am looking for so any information would be greatly appreciated ^_^

Well I've been messing around with some custom ROMs for a bit and noticed that the dsp manager app that is being used in many of the custom ROMs (most recent example is PA4) is a bit different then the apk and .zips that are lying around here in the forums. It seems to be a newer version with a few more options built into them. And so what i was wondering is if anyone knew if there were an apk or zip file for this newer? version that i could use with the stock ROM? or is it closed source only available to certain ROMs? (I remember seeing the same version on a different ROM but i can't remember which one it was... >.<)

i have tried out the zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533599

So I have a problem where whenever my battery gets below 20% if I plug in my charger it does not charge and I have to shut down and go into recovery in order for it to charge back up over 25%-30%. After it gets above 30% I reboot and plug in charger and it charges just fine. Seems weird because of how it won't charge when it goes under 20%. All of my details are listed below if you guys could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

One last thing my battery life is average once it gets up to 100% but could always be better. Any suggestions on how to make battery life longer or fix this problem would be highly recognized.

These are not flashable zips!

Use at your own risk, and make a backup before installing. These have all been tested and installed from the filehost.

Instructions, and better quality youtube videos are at the bottom of this post. If you are using your Nexus 7 right now you can see exactly what the boot animation will look like if you use the YouTube app at full screen. The quality will depend on your connection quality with the YouTube servers but the size will be identical.

April Fools

Download Aprilfools

Motorola Globe

This actually looks pretty good on the Nexus 7. The width on this gif is accurate to the size of the animation but you have to use your imagination for how the height will look.

Download Custom Google​

If you are unsure on the installation procedure hit the button below, for those who have installed a bootanimation.zip in either the /system/media or /data/local folder before, this is no different.

Read this first please.

And just to add to that, I prefer putting my bootanimation.zip in the /data/local/ folder on my Nexus 7. If there is a bootanimation.zip there and in the /system/media/ location, it will play the one in /data/local/ first. There is always a fallback bootanimation.zip in /system/media/.

Also using your file manager make sure the permissions for bootanimation.zip are rw-r--r--

It works with several other combinations also, but if you have problems, check it first.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
I can, it will be about 12 hours or so though. If you have windows, not xp, I made a batch script that will do it for you. Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651044

Does your note use qmg or zip files? My script will not work with qmg style boot animations, I think they're used in touchwiz Roms.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] cheicho:
My note use zip file.

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 AM ----------

My note use zip file.

How to used the batch scrip convert from mp4 to zip file bootanimation, because on your thread convert from zip file bootanimation to mp4.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
- Just extract the rar file to a new folder.

- Place the stock mp4 boot animation file (attached at the bottom of this post) in the 'Zips' folder

- Run the RUNba2mp4v186b batch file

- Hit 2 ------- Convert Zips In "Zips"

- Hit 1 ------- MP4 Stock_April_Fools.zip

- Hit 4 ------- Change The Resolution

- Enter 800 for your width

- Enter 1280 for your height

- Hit 1 ------- Resize But Keep The Original Aspect

- Hit 1 ------- Export To A Jpg Bootanimation.zip

Notes:

The converted bootanimation; 24_800X1280_q7_Stock_April_Fools.zip; will be in the folder "Made_Zips"

If the quality isn't acceptable to you, you can up the jpg quality setting from 7 to 6 or whatever. I wouldn't go all the way to 1 though because the file size gets pretty big, the jpg is basically lossless at level 3, and your phone might not handle it and boot loop. So as always, make a backup before installing.

If your resolution isn't 800x1280 then enter the resolution you want to convert to. If the aspect ratio for the resolution you need is different from the source, in this bootanimation the source is 720x1280, you will be prompted to "resize but keep the original aspect" or "stretch or shrink images..." I would choose "resize but keep the original aspect" because the circle in these bootanimations is front and center, and looks awkward as a slight oval. The downside to this option is that there is some slight cropping. Not bad though.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] tekanina:
I used this on my Moto X since the ROM I'm using doesn't work with mp4 boot animation. The problem is that after I converted the April Fools boot animation it just continuously loops part 2 I assume, I let it boot up for about 3 minutes before I had to fastboot system.img over again. I tried changing the p 0 1 to p 0 0 and c 0 0 and it just skipped the boot animation altogether. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
Is this what is in you desc.txt file?

720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 1 part1

If so, did you use the default jpg quality of 7, and end up with an overall zip size of 9,029,619 bytes? (8.61 MB, or 8,818 KB)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] tekanina:
Yes the Only thing I had done at first was covert it. After it didn't boot to the ROM is when I was just trying play around trying to get it to work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
The only thing that I can think of right now, is that maybe the numbering got messed up for the jpg files? Don't really see how that could happen though.

Or possibly the Moto X can't handle the jpg level of 7? That really doesn't seem probable either.

Could you try jpg quality of 8 and see what happens?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] tekanina:
Okay so I used the April fools.zip that you uploaded and changed the quality to 8 and I still get the same thing. The Moto M with the spotlight just seems to continuously loop. BTW I appreciate the help. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
Not sure what the issue is, but I'd like to help in solving it. Which ROM do you use? And can you upload either the q7 or q8 zip that doesn't play right?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] tekanina:
I'm using a GPE ROM based of Moto G. It has to be flashed through fastboot so I'm not sure how to open it like you would a .zip. If need be I'll zip up my system folder and upload.

Edit: It is very strange I was considering removing some of the images from part 1, but I don't see how that would help. The boot animation isn't five minutes long is it? It should just stop once everything loads. Like on first boot it takes a while to load up so it just loops part 1?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] makers_mark:
Sorry for the delay, but I can't find anything wrong with the zips. The animation isn't really long. Here are a couple things to try if you are still interested in making it work.

-Uninstall Motorola Boot Services, if you installed it. Wipe cache and dalvik.

-Switch the names of the folders. Part0 will be Part1 and vice versa.

-Subtract 1 from your vertical resolution in your desc.txt (might bootloop)

-Try running another 2 part full resolution bootanimation.zip

Switching the folders obviously isn't going to fix it, but the result might tell a tale. Same with the last option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] tekanina:
Thanks for trying, you're help was appreciated. I went back to stock plus I didn't even know the boot animation was updated again.

After days of looking for a solution to the problem of every 2011 device I've finally managed to do it!

Many of you wanna enable ART functionnality in 4.4.2 because the device start "flying" with such a pill. So I've managed to modify the Int2Ext v2 script to run it lagless and conserving initial performance.

Prerequesites:

1. You have to make an EXT partition (I've got an EXT4 1 GB partition)

2. Flash the script BEFORE the first boot (like any other package such as gapps).

3. (Optionnal) Reboot once, and enable ART in developement menu.

4. Enjoy!

What it does exactly?

1. Increase the readahead cache for your sd to 4096 kb

2. Transfers /data/app & /data/app-private to the ext partition of the SD

3. Everything that a CronMod-INT2EXT script does

All credits goes to the creator of the original script. Ive simply deleted a line inside ;)
