Alltel Touch Pro. Situation immeadiately after a cold reset, customizations,

auto-reboot, ##000000 does go to programming mode. After restoring my

backup, it can't. I'm guessing I accidently set some registery value or

have a conflicting application that's keeping the phone from programming

mode.

I'm not using TF3D or TouchFlo, I'm using SPB P+ / MS / Backup, FTouchSL,

AE Button Plus, Resco Keyboard & File Explorer, Second Today.

thanks

So I've seen this feature on other phones where a voice actually announces who is calling according to the contact entry. Anyone seen a program like this for the TP?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] alfredob1:
The Microsoft Voice Command software will do that. But I believe it speaks the number not the name.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Da_G:
MSVC says "Incoming Call from [name] on [mobile/home/work/etc]" if you have a name assigned to the contact.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marcolero:
which function of the files with extension .DSM and .RGU within the packages. How do I create them?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
.dsm file = this contains what there is in the folder, you can use builddsm to make them.

.rgu file = is the registery files of that folder. You can create this on by yourself in notepad. You just have to remember " REGEDIT4 " at the beginning.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marcolero:
the DSM files that I do in the package creator ervius are blank. what's wrong if I leave them blank?

as I use buildDsm?

grateful for the help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
You can also make them blank, dosen't make the biggest' diffrent.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marcolero:
learned to use the buildDsm

have to drag the package into the oem folder for the buildDsm

grateful
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Noonski:
And don't forget to save the RGU files as Unicode.

Not populating DSM files just make it harder to extract the rom correctly for beginners.

Even thought i remove .DSM, files i populate them anyway.

did you go to the connection set up wizard and set up the connection, or are you trying to do the proxy hack?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsdugan:
Say someone "got" TomTom on his phone and had a horrible time getting it to work, but got it to work after reading and messing with stuff. When I go to flash to a different ROM, will I need to try to get it to work again when I reload, or with the software read my phone device and work without a problem when I redo it? Am I being clear at all? Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
Fast Answer..... NO you wont have issues. Reinstall TT7 to the same default location. It reads the .bif file off of the SD card for licensing purposes. My legit version has had 0 issues and I flash about once a week :P I use TT literally everyday :)

Goodluck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsdugan:
OK, good deal - the stuff on my SD card won't change - so the settings should be good to go when I reload. Thanks for clearing up my worry. NOW I need to either get a car charger or look into battery issues - running TT takes like 50+% of my battery in about 1/2 hour. Not good, or normal?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
Do both...... its cheap. I have a spare battery as well as a car charger. My Dock at home charges the phone and spare battery, and I snag both before I head out. I will tell you TomTom kills battery pretty fast, and if you have a messenger using 3G plus TT , your battery WILL get too hot to charge. I think a battery and cradle with a charger will set you back a whopping 21$USD these days ( Pretty cheap eh ? )

Just saw this one for ya ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jsdugan:
Thank you - I will check into it. I ordered a cheap car charger off of e-bay, and I don't believe it works. I'll look into it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] blisteringblue:
Tell me about it. I've now bought two £1.99 chargers from ebay and neither have worked. Is really annoying as no point returning them for that amount.

Ended up getting a £14.99 blackberry charger from Carphone Warehouse (UK rip off merchants) but at least it works and I managed to claim it as a business expense.

***Sticky this please

Check out this application I put together. It is a simple stand alone app for true tethering over wifi, you must have a rooted phone for this app to work....

http://www.androidactivity.com/tetherWifi.html

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss issues with the application. For instructions on how to use it read the webpage from the link above.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Good deal will try it out as soon as i get sp3, is it compatible with new update? thanks for this!
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Any chance of making this open source?

If it just uses the same method as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=474470 then it would be pretty helpful for those of us trying to make a frontend to command line applications.
[G1 Apps and Games] caleb12:
Pretty Please... :) I do appreciate the effort and at that same time, I like to know what I am giving root access to. But, really - I'd like to be able to modify it to my own network environment. I like to customize the dnsmasq.conf a bit for my own peace of mind...

Thanks again, this is the beginning of a great piece of work...
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
This is really nice!!! The old way with terminal was getting old. Thanks!!!!

Could you have a status icon at the top toolbar to show that the tethering service is active?
[G1 Apps and Games] ninetoes:
Tested, worked flawlessly. Unscecured, of course, but freakin' sweet if you can't get another network. Tried this from my house, worked great on 3g. Work VPN functioned w/o issue.
[G1 Apps and Games] SoTacMatt:
Nice! Confirmed working with Vista laptop.
[G1 Apps and Games] digital_1:
I'd like to also voice support for open sourcing this-- or for removing the root requirement if you could get that worked out. I am very appreciative that you've pulled this together but at the same time feel reluctant to install any software that will be running under root that isn't signed or at least has the source code available.

Keep up the great work!
[G1 Apps and Games] defconoi:
please add an option to change ssid, and settings, and we definately gotta find a way to secure the wifi
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I just made a couple bug fixes and put up a new version this morning.

This is still beta and I am looking into making a lot more things configurable.

Right now it is not secure. It only will DHCP out one IP, but it does NAT forward the whole range of 10.0.1.X

I understand everybody's concern about making it open source for root access, at this moment I am not going to make it open source. I would like to figure out a way to make it work without root in the future, but if I cannot I may make it open source.

This may help you out with your concerns, this is what the application does:

-it unpacks files to the /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi/ directory only on the first run of the application, installing an upgrade of my app will re-unpack the latest files in this directory. a chmod of 744 is done to all of these files.

-manual configuration of dnsmasq.conf, tiwlan.ini, etc.. can be done by modifying these files in this directory. You need to run my application once before modifying, so that these files get unpacked. If you ever upgrade my app, make sure you back up these files before upgrading, because on upgrade my app will overwrite these files.

-when you hit start, i disable wifi if it is on and then run the tether.sh start script.

-when you hit stop, i run the tether.sh stop script, I also enable the wifi back if i had disabled it before running start.

-to see what tether.sh start and stop does, take a look at the /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi/tether.sh file
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I doubt it needs service pack 3. I just confirmed it working on my machine which has service pack 3.

My bluetooth tethering app, on the other hand, works better with service pack 3, and I do recommend upgrading if you are going to use that app.
[G1 Apps and Games] speoples20:
Thanks for this gonna test it out. I was thinking of making something like this you beat me to it.:D
[G1 Apps and Games] miseiler:
http://code.google.com/p/gtether/

Similar project, open source.

Do not support closed source projects.

Especially those that require root on your phone!
[G1 Apps and Games] vr24:
The gtether application clashes with the ****ty superuser application on the JF releases... it's unusable for me. However, Moussam's works fine.

With GTether, everytime I try and connect my PC - it just goes into an endless loop of approving the super user access, even if you select "Always" it just doesn't work. Which is a shame, because GTether is clearly a better application.
[G1 Apps and Games] psjames:
I found the same issue with the endless loop with Super user.
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Well, the GTether application isn't even Open Source. The SVN for it has no code and the downloadable "source code" is just a gzipped .apk file.

Also, the Super User app is far from ****ty. It is the only thing protecting your phone from people releasing apps on the market targeting rooted users. If someone released an app on the market that ran su without your approval, they could wreak havoc on your phone and potentially brick it.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
Everybody, do your homework first before you start making stupid comments. First off gtether is not an open source app. My app is simpler and more stable. Gtether is also a good application, but I wanted to create something that had everything packed up into one install without having to run any shell commands.

I do not have the bells and whistles yet, but I am working on them, this is just a beta release.
[G1 Apps and Games] miseiler:
Well, no. The source tgz has all the components of the tether-1.6 app in it, in additional to the apk file (for whatever reason). I suppose you could argue the iptables source isn't present in the file, but that is available elsewhere.

And apps that run su with your approval are just as likely to brick/rootkit.
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Well by "source" I am referring to the actual source code used for the .apk file which is run on Android. That's the part which is installed as an application and is actually using the binaries from the tether-1.6 kit as root and running in the background to notify when new users connect.

Also, when I say that SuperUser protects your phone, I'm assuming that people will actually do research before allowing an app to user root privileges and will block an app which has no need to use root whatsoever.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
if it makes everybody more comfortable i can post the script files that are run in my app. su is only needed to run these script files. these files are unpacked into /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi on the first run of this application and can even be altered to whatever config you want afterwards. su access is not needed until you hit start or stop. if you are concerned install my app and run it and dont grant su access and you will be able to see the unpacked script files in the dir i mentioned, and even alter them if you want.
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Well, it wouldn't make a difference to me because what I want the source for is so that I can make apps that can run command-line scripts... I already have seen how the tethering works...
[G1 Apps and Games] brodieberlin:
Nice - works great with JF 1.41 RC33 using a MacBook Pro (10.5.6). Keep up your work and add some features (SSID, WPA) and I'll pay for 1.0!
[G1 Apps and Games] vr24:
Ditto,

- Multiple connections

- SSID (I don't care but it's nice to have)

- WPA

I'd pay a few bucks for it.
[G1 Apps and Games] midnite23:
Thank you SO much! This works perfectly with RC33 and my iPod touch. Now I can tether it and listen to Pandora and AOl Radio while driving or on my way to class.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
Ok, you guys are motivating me with $$. I will work on some of these features and get an update out.
[G1 Apps and Games] vr24:
Well, moussam - when I say a few bucks, I'm talking $5 - $10 tops. However, you would be the ONLY product with these features, so it's something that may end up selling decent...
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Brilliant. Very basic, but it worked perfectly. Within 30 seconds after installing it on my phone I was hooked up and surfing the net with my laptop, via my HSDPA network. This is really gonna be of great use when I'm on the road. Not that the Android browser is bad or anything, but heavy surfing requires a real computer, such as a laptop. Sometimes size matters and 3.2 inches is not a whole lot.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I just put an updated version of the app. It now supports multiple connections.

The tether seems to start ok on my G1 (JF rc33), and my Ubuntu 8.10 box sees the G1 Ad-Hoc ok, but upon linking it never gets a response from the DHCP server on the G1.

Has anyone out there been able to link up the .92 of the tether app via a linux install?
[G1 Apps and Games] darkansi:
Worked like a charm with 2 bars of 3G i got 52KB at speakeasy. Not great for downloading large files but works well in a pinch.

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I have not personally tested this configuration, but it should work. To rule out that it is indeed a DHCP problem try setting a static ip on your Ubuntu machine with the following settings...

IP: 10.0.1.10

MASK: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 10.0.1.2

DNS: 4.2.2.2

If it still does not work with the static IP something else is wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I have this app currently working and running using a winxp SP2 and a winxp SP3 machine connecting through my phone which has the JF1.41_ADP1.1 firmware on it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sk8erAndroid:
So what exactly is tethering?

--From what I have read, and to my understanding, "Tethering" allows my Desktop PC / Notebook or other devices connect to an ad-hoc based network provided by the Android phone. In other words, this should allow me to access the internet(Assuming I have a T-Mobile data plan) via my Laptop and Google Android Phone?

->Laptop recieve internet from phone.

Am I correct?

Not completely sure what this actually does.

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Apps and Games] muzicman0:
I am also not able to get a connection. I am able to connect to the G1 access point, but it never pulls an IP (I get a 169.x.x.x address). I set up a static connection using the above info, and it still does not work, I am also not able to ping the default gateway (10.0.1.2)...any ideas on what might be wrong???

The most painless solution to tethering

Kudos to the developer.. this is really really painless solution.. install n press start.. i am loving this app..

One feature request - if there is some way we can add the MAC address of the laptop/desktop we need to tether for. it will become secure.. there is already a way to do this manually but if the app can edit the dnsmasq.conf for the user it will become really noob-proof.. if you can make your app opensource then i can help with improvements. thanks again
[G1 Apps and Games] yosho:
Thanks! While the static settings did not work, it DID point me in the right direction.

It seems that there is a bug of some sort in the NetworkManager I am using, as it did not resolve anything even with static settings.

I was however able to connect up, including DHCP working properly, via commandline tools:

I had to disable wireless in the NetworkManager applet, then proceeded with these commands in a terminal. Note that eth1 is my wireless, yours may be different:

# Configure the wireless device as needed for the .92 version of the tether:
sudo iwconfig eth1 ap any essid "G1 " mode Ad-Hoc
#checked connection with iwconfig next
sudo iwconfig
# once connection verified, ran dhclient to obtain IP:
sudo dhclient eth1

Once dhclient pulls an IP, the connection was good to go.

I got 52k up and down from my EDGE connection, in Saint Louis, Missouri.

Moussam, AWESOME work. Keep it up! I would toss a few bucks your way once the polish is done on this. Possibly sooner, but depends on when 3G hits my area (edge, while useful in a pinch, is still slow :( )

Ideas for features:

status of connection and connected clients (MAC address?)

xferred data count (Rx/Tx). Some kind of graph of this would rock!

make a "non-windowed" version... when you open the app, it toggles and exits, much like some of the toggle apps on the market. instead of leaving the Home screen, just flash a text message of "Enabling Wifi Tether" or "Disabling".

Just my 2¢...
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
something else is wrong if it were just dhcp it would work with static. not sure what is going on, but try these few things.

-grant superuser access as always

-try clicking stop and then start again

-try rebooting your phone and try the app again (call + menu +end)

also please post the firmware version you are running.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I am currently working on mac filtering and also displaying the dhcp clients list.

If people are looking to help, put together some scripts and config files that will get WPA and WEP working for me. Also some $ always helps ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] muzicman0:
thanks for the response...I am on JFv1.41 RC33.

Tried your suggestions...no luck...

I also tried a /release /renew, but just pulled the same IP.

I will try on my Linux box at home tonight...it might be some security script on this laptop.

thanks!

USB/BT/WIFI all in one

If you could combine the bluetooth and wifi app and also add usb tethering to the app this would really make this a pretty sick tethering app.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
I plan on combining the blu and wifi apps. If someone can work on usb tethering scripts I can then combine that in at a later time.
[G1 Apps and Games] muzicman0:
still no go on my home PC...so what happens if I uninstall it...was anything permanently changed? I want to try one of the other options to see if they work, or at least to see if I can get any error msgs from terminal...

mm0
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
nothing is permantly changed. when you uninstal it removes all the files that were put on the device. if you really want to make sure nothing is different, also reset the phone to make sure the service has stopped running.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shagman68:
You are a lifesaver! these are awesome apps! I was using the terminal method for the wifi tether, then I saw your blutooth tether. Wow, now my phoneruns cooler using the blu tether. I can't wait for the 3-way combo Blu-Wi-USB!!! Thanks,

[G1 Apps and Games] smagicmans:
OMG THANK YOU !!!

This prog. is a blessing ever since I cut off my dsl plan at home. The tetherbot always ended up cutting my signal but this program doesn't. I can view websites without any signal loss. thanks!

[G1 Apps and Games] ckcin:
works on my great on both my MacBookPro and my EeePC (running EasyPeasy)... looking forward to a USB tether especially since due to battery drain I'll be using this wifi tether when connected via USB to my computer for charging.
[G1 Apps and Games] donutman:
Will this work with my PSP or Nintendo DS? The original way wouldn't let me because I think the DS doesn't connect to ad hoc networks.
[G1 Apps and Games] number9ine:
I understand that this app allows you to access the internet on your laptop via the G1 tether.

Is there currently ANY way to get a G1 to connect to an ad-hoc wireless network to use the wired network connected to a laptop via connection sharing over the laptop's wireless card?
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
I'm using JFv1.42_ADP1.1h and Linux Mint 6 Elyssa -- this app works just great. Thank you!

May I suggest you merge the buttons though? When you start the app it could say "Start tethering" and when you would click it, it could change to "Stop tethering"

Cheers!
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Agreed, that would be nice. At least some kind of notification that the service is running, as it is now you don't really know whether or not the button registered your tap to start/stop. Still a great app though, easily a top five favorite. Donation worthy.
[G1 Apps and Games] My_Name_Is_Neo:
As per my understanding, You don't need any fancy app to do it. Just start your pc's Adhoc network and connect any other device to it, can be your G1 or any other device. You will need to share internet connection on your pc's settings.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
try the tetherBlu application, it does not drain the battery as much.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
It is still Ad Hoc Wifi tethering if that does not work with the DS, it is still not going to work.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
Yes, this is definitely possible. My app does not do it, but I know how it can be done, it would not be a lot different than the scripts that are currently run. You would have to just run the dhcp server on your pc and do the iptables forwarding on your pc instead of on the G1. Everything else should be the same. If you PC is not a linux PC, you can probably do the same thing by running Internet Connection Sharing in Windows.
[G1 Apps and Games] moussam:
knowing if it is really running or not is harder than one might think. I can't just save a true/false status and toggle it. If the app is ended or killed the service is still running, but if the phone is reset the service has stopped running, and my app has no way of knowing if the phone has been reset or not. So I have to actually run a linux script which checks to see if the service is up or down.

Send one along ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] oDeACoNo:
Nice app works like a charm and it's easy to use.

I'd love to be able to change the SSID, see the user's connected and if possible add some kinda encryption.

Keep up the great work. I haven't tested out the BT Tether yet that's next on my list.

Also wanted to let you know I tested this app on my G1 running JF's RC30 v 1.41, JF's RC33 v 1.41, and JF's RC33 v 1.42 and connected a PC running Vista Home 32-bit with no issues.
