Okay guys I may be slow and you may already know this but I didn't realize our phone actually has a basic firewall. It can be found in Phone Manager. When the app is open swipe the screen to the left and you'll see Networked Apps or you can find it under settings. Very cool.

Another question for you all:

Do you guys utilize the Protected Apps setting? I'm not sure if it even matters. Are there pros and cons to using it or not using it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kimtyson:
I am pretty sure the Tribute is the same as the Fusion 3, which is on sale at Walmart this week ($69). I will be picking one up in the morning to play with. My daughter already has a Tribute and it has been a real good phone for her.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
The tribute is the fusion 3 Walmart just change the name.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kimtyson:
Thanks for confirming that. Also, in the Specs on the Walmart page it shows the model number as "Tribute". Only 1Gb of RAM but still a decent low cost phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
Yeah I'm a low to mid tier phone kind of guy. My wife won't let me buy the good stuff. ;)

Seriously though I couldn't be happier with this phone. I'm glad we're starting to get a development community going for it as well.

Its unlockesdQUOTE=nobreak1970;58579403]In tether app settings under dhcp. Its towards the bottom of the settings list.

I have the att huawei tribute on byop straight talk..its unlocked and rooted.. I Can't seem to get any hotspots working.. I have pdanet+. WiFi tether router.. And many others.. Any Help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDubTrey:
misc:

I noticed that the tethering that I described above does not work if I turn wifi off before using the tethering app. I have never had the problem before when tethering (apps would turn wifi on if needed).

I had to use root to remove the "attwifi" SSID from the list of connections. as there is no way to do it using the UI. If you don't do this the phone will always try to connect to any "attwifi" you pass, as long as wifi is on. For clarification, this is unrelated to tethering.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
I've done a bit of build.prop editing and experiements lately.

DO NOT try to add a line to "enable" soft keys on this phone. Trust me. ;)

Digging through entries I found the original name is the Tribute. Nothing listed talking about Fusion 3 so that is a walmart deal. Not sure why they renamed it. The software version listed in this is EmotionUI_2.0_Lite. Our About Phone lists Emotion UI 2.3 so I'm a bit confused considering that info should be pulled directly from the build.prop file.

I am testing various data/net tweaks now by changing values. I do not recommend doing this unless you know exactly what the repercussions can be.

Unlike most I don't use our phone on At&T but on Straight Talk. I found the 2 lines that lock the native AT&T APN. It is now deleted. ;)

I'll report back as I find them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Aren't the soft keys enabled by default on this phone?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
No.

The line to enable them isn't in the build.prop at all.

When I tried it out and added that specific line it didn't boot loop (like I expected) but the SystemUI crashed constantly. You'd see the softkeys on the screen then boom, crash. :)

Ah well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
New Development:

I was playing around with Xposed, the Google Now Launcher, and Xposed GEL Settings module.

It seems that the stock launcher is based on the GNow Launcher because a lot of the settings you can do in the GEL mod takes in the stock launcher. :)

Neat.

UPDATE: I just applied a full icon pack (Moonshine Icon Pack) using Xposed GEL settings to the stock launcher!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Well I know on the bottom of the phone there are no hard keys like say the S3 has a hardware button on the bottom, the one I have in my house is my daughters so I'm not completely sure. That's odd that adding the soft keys fcs the systemUI though. I had gotten so use to a hardware key on my S3 now my Nexus 5 has no bottom hardware key

Also, in all the years I have been using Android phones (and rooting)....since the G1.....this is the very first time I have ever been able to apply a custom icon pack to a stock OEM launcher. :)

I have two of these coming as an upgrade for me and the wife from my Infuse 4g and her ZTE Avail, both rooted with custom recovery, I think for the price of $68 and change it will do the trick and be a nice little upgrade for both of us. We already own Link2SD Plus so hopefully that will help to ad a little more space. That all being said and having read all of this thread and others I still have a few questions.

I plan on unlocking them and I just wanted to get my facts straight ...

If I'm on an AT&T MVNO I don't need it unlocked, is that correct?

Assuming that the above is correct is there a way to enter the unlock code without an incompatible sim inserted?

How does one bypass and disable the activation screen permantly?

Is CWMR available?

Has anyone tested to see if the twrp restores correctly? I found several kernels for my Infuse on GB where CWMR doen't restore properly yet it's supposed to be the same version in each of them. Hence the question.

On the teathering. My wife's avail was the same way I never figured it out, on my Infuse there was an app called teathering manager which had to be deleted to make teathering work.

YouTube doesn't stream in the background. Apparently they don't think videos are worth hearing. Send them some feedback on that, I have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:

For those who like a onscreen navbar or wish they had a customizable navbar on this phone. You will need to download exposed and install it and from within the app disable resource hooks and install the framework. Then download ultimate dynamic navbar off google play.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] callihn:
1. Make sure your system is mounted rw, there's an app in the playstore called mount system rw and it's ad free, good app to ad to the system as is no frills cpu control.

2. Once you verified the file is updated ( Check the date ), then reboot and go into the apn and use the menu button to delete it, that's all there is to it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Here is what it looks like with the navbar down. That little gray triangle at the bottom left is what you click to trigger the Navbar to appear.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] phatmanxxl:
4 things.

1 couldn't I just use flashify, or GooManager (or has anyone tried?) To install TWRP? I just wanted root as of now to lower the DPI and use Adfree. Also using trickster and changing the cpu/gpu governors to performance fixed the lag, it didn't hit the battery life too much either. BL is unlocked.

2 why are you guys putting nav bars on your screen when you already have the capacitive buttons under the screen? It seems pointless, so just asking why...because you can? LoL

3 Are there or is anybody trying to port a lollipop ROM for this phone? Does Hauwei plan on updating? I understand its a budget phone so I'm not expecting any kind of support as far as system updates go.

4 I know its 1 gig, but is there a way to get a better multitasking experience on this phone? Its got pretty bad RAM management. I was thinking about swap using the SD card but its been years since I've done that during the cupcake donut days.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shadicbypass:
Ok well for 1 yes this phone has a hardware Navbar but does not have the button that allows you to see all open apps so you can close or switch between them easily that is why I wanted a Navbar. 2. You can try to use flashify. it might work but I would recommend installing twerp using adb. 3 There is someone that is going to make cm for this phone once he gets cm for the y550 to work right. 4 you will get a better multitasking experience by A deleting built in apps that you do not want ( refer to early posts in this to see how to remove all the AT&T apps) B having a Navbar that allows you switch between Windows and C getting a 16 or 32 GB microsd card and telling the phone to install all apps to sd that support. You do that by changing the default storage to sd card or external memory.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] callihn:
I'm clueless and searching isn't much help on xposed and etc.

How do you get rid of the att boot logo?

Here's another build.prop change some may find useful, if you use a pin lock screen you can have it unlock after entering the code without having to touch return by changing ro.config.hw_automaticunlock to true. Feel free to add this pin lock screen auto unlock and the apn fix to the guide, this is shaping up to be a nice phone, real nice for the price. Looks like some other goodies may be available in the build.prop too.
