I'm not sure what you mean by CM tethering. Maybe Cyanogen Mod?

Anyway Tethering is pretty easy with a PC.

Root put on a tethering app. The last five ROMS I flashed on my MT3G had the app built in. Currently using Super-D. Should be the same for a G-1.

Open the app. By default it's wifi, although you can configure Bluetooth. But Wifi doesn't require pairing.

Just start the tethering app on the phone and it becomes an access point. Just like a wireless router.

So on the PC I search for wireless signals and find the one with my phones name and connect. I could add security if I wanted, but rarely do.

So if you can connect to a router with a Mac I guess you could tether.

I'm just assuming of course because I've touched a Mac for about 3 minutes in my life.

I don't know if that will help you at all. I'm assuming you've rooted and installed cyanogen? I think his apps come in an accessory pack or something. Cyanogen is honestly more complicated for me to install that Super-D or WG which have everything all in one for the most part. Sometimes they need ringtones.

Anyway do you have a 'Tethering App' on your phone? It looks like a green wedge.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
I think OSX lacks the drivers for wired tethering (includes the settings option), but you might have luck with the wireless tethering app.
[G1 General] Thasro:
I have a Mac. Just use a wireless tether app. When you turn it on your phone will act as a wireless router. Get your Mac to scan for wireless networks and you should find one that says G1 Tether. Connect to it and you should be good to go. This is all I have ever done and I have never had any problems.
[G1 General] Izord:
So like I said, it should be just as simple as on a PC.

Assuming the OP has rooted his G1.

(Except you can't do it through USB)
[G1 General] sakumaxp:
yeah i always use the wireless tether for root users app at work, it works just fine for me =], in all of about 2-3 clicks isntant internet =]
[G1 General] kirkvanhouten:
same for me
[G1 General] OG:
I have a Mac. Just bought it like, 3 days ago. It was Tethering very well until 7 hours after I bought it, and now it doesn't connect to my G1. Any help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
I've tweaked the qwerty keyboard a little bit so I don't have to hunt for the £ and € sign and \ on secondary pages. In landscape the arrow buttons have been moved to the left-hand side, which centres the letter keys better which think is easier for 2 thumb typing; the side-effect is that xT9 doesn't work correctly.

I've added the cab file below. It should uninstall correctly but it will need a soft reset afterwards.

21/01/2010 - New cab with some fixes to the layout, mainly affecting the xT9 toggle in portrait and landscape.

14/02/2010 - I've added an additional cab that works with WM6.5.5, it's almost identical to the other version but the button placement is correct.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bennyhillslovechild:
Oooh, that's quite good. Must come in fairly useful. Now if someone could add ".co.uk" to the long press of the ".com" button, it would be perfect!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
I've poked and prodded but the TLDs are not stored in the layout files, I think they are in the binary :(, I've not given up looking though!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Nope. Sorry. I don't get it...

I can see what you've done with the £ sign (nice!). But I cannot see any change to the location of the € and \ signs on the screenshots provided. Or have I misunderstood what you meant...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
UK keyboard

Duplicate post!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
I can't take a screen shot of it, but holding down the "f" key pops up "£ € $", likewise with the "/" key I've added "\".

The only problem I've got with the landscape keyboard is xT9 doesn't work properly as the keys are offset, that said I find in landscape xT9 isn't useful; in portrait I find it a necessity.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leoni1980:
I dont suppose you know if its possible to disable or remove the xt9 button do you? It bugs me as I'm constantly catching it without noticing owing to its stupid placement and I find it pretty pointless - I always have t9 on and it automatically switches off in password input sections anyway
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
The toggle is just a few lines in the layout file, so it's possible to remove it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leoni1980:
Could you do it for me? it would have been better I think if HTC had made that button smaller and had it as a toggle to pop up the up/down/left/right keys instead of them being constantly on show as they aren't used very often. I don't know about you but i actually haven't had a single need to turn xt9 off since I got the phone and I really can't understand why they put the button there in the first place.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
Yeah, I'll do it this evening. I don't use xT9 all the time, it can be a bit awkward when you are trying to enter names and such or website logins etc, and I have no use for it in landscape (doesn't work properly now anyway).

I could make the toggle box much smaller, so it's harder to hit accidentally, which I think is a better idea. Do you want it shrinking in both portrait and landscape?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I'll happily put this in a cab for you mate. Just let us know when you're done tinkering and I'll get it done for you.

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leoni1980:
Could you do that? Maybe a tiny box right to the far left. The more fiddly to activate the better! I really never use the keyboard in landscape as I find it harder owing to the greater travel needed for the fingers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Very nice! Thanks for the extra explanation. Glad it wasn't just me being blind or stupid (this time...)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
Thanks for the offer but I had a go before I saw your message. If you could test it though, that would be great.

It's the same keyboard layout from the screenshots in my first post, and as mentioned xT9 is won't work properly in landscape (portrait is unaffected). I've been able to uninstall the cab (soft reset required) and go back to the defaults without any problems; but if anything goes wrong don't sue me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
Sure, I'll do it some time tonight.

I actually like landscape as my previous phone was a Touch Pro; I find I can be fairly quick typing with two thumbs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
I've updated my original post with a cab for you. I've made the xT9 toggle on the portrait layout harder to accidentally press, let me know how you get on with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Hello all,

I just got myself a Touch HD after waiting for a long time. I'm excited to be here and get to know a lot about my device after extensive reading on this forum. Its really well done and very very resourceful. Kudos to all you guys who are making this happen :)

Now, coming back to my device .. Ive had certain issues with my device and I wanna know from you guys if flashing to another ROM is necessary or not.

ROM Version : 1.18.723.3

Radio Version : 1.09.25.14

Touch Flo 3D version : 1.3.356******

My Concerns at the moment

1. TouchFlo 3D is not smooth at certain times and it gets stuck for a couple of seconds and its annoying.

2. Messaging screen hangs if i try to type my message quickly.

3. Phone takes about 3-4 seconds before it starts ringing.

4. I cannot flip through the mails from the touch flo 3d view.

5. The phone is constantly trying to connect to EDGE network. Even though i turn it off it still happens.

What I've done to correct these after referring the forums.

1. I'm not sure if I can update just the Touch flo 3d to a higher version without updating the ROM. So I havent done anything yet

2. I've tried to tweak the registry and also used HD Tweak to correct the ringing problem but still no good.

What I've installed on fone so far ?

1. I've got S2U2, HD Tweak , and some apps for Windows Market place.

What I really need ?

1. A smooth touch flo 3d version like the one for TP2 Sprint version [Its awesome]

2. Ring without delay

3. Smooth and easy messaging.

Now please suggest if a new ROM will fix these problems or I could just do away with cab files that could fix this problem ?

If a new ROM is required , based on "What i really need" can you suggest something which would get me close to or exactly the same ROM which is running on the TP2 Sprint version.

PS : I typed out a long description , so please excuse me if I went out of track and if somethings are unclear :)

@ MODS : I just realised that I may have posted in the wrong section. Please move it if necessary.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] meniak:
Hey,

I guess you're using a stock winmo 6.1 ROM. IMHO the stock ROMS are not as fast as some of the cooked ROMS found here. Difference between winmo 6.1 and winmo 6.5 is just personal taste but I prefer the 6.5 because of its finger friendly UI. Drawback is most of the ROMS drain the battery faster compared to 6.1. Maybe you can try a 6.5 ROM and see if you like it. I like Energy and Xannytech Roms, but again, that's personal taste. You can just flash a few and see what u like best.

As for the GPRS problem, some ROMS have cooked in apps for this, but I like WM Longlife as u can customize alot, ranging from completely disabling GPRS to not put it on when roaming. I hope I helped u a bit
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Well , it is a stock rom as i just got this device last week. It was shipped from HK.

About flashing ROM's to my device , im still a lil too skeptical as I'm running Windows 7 and most of the flashing guides have reference to either vista or earlier versions of windows.

I also remember reading about a guy trying to flash a cooked rom and he was running Windows 7 and he claims to have bricked the device and it just refuses to turn on.

I'm still going through the wiki and downloading all the necessary tools required to flash my device. Once i'm a confident and comfortable I will go ahead and try out all the ROM's. I'm sure to get addicted to it.

And btw, if i flash the ROM to some cooked ROM and I decide to go back to stock ROM , will pushing the tiny reset button under the battery get my fone back to stock ROM ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kieboy:
Like you, when I first got my HD, I was a bit concerned of bricking my device if I flash to a custom ROM. But let me tell you, with the stock ROM of yours, you wont see the full potential of your HD...I too experienced those things you mentioned and suffered for a while...if you feel its too early for you to flash, then just check some possible fix for your concern in cabs. I believe the HTC site has a fix for this typing delay bug, not sure about the ring issue.

But if you think its time, then read this Dummies Guide and just a heads up, flashing can be very addictive...so GET READY TO BECOME A FLASH-AHOLIC! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
Agreed, this ability to transform your phone is quick addictive. Be prepared to loss a bit of sleep as the excitement of manipulating your device sometimes can replace your basic needs for other things...

Girlfriends / wives might notice a difference...LOL

Some of us are worse then other.....:p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Spot on ! I'm on XDA like all the time - @ work , @ school .. you name it :) .

I want to learn as much as possible before I try experimenting anything.

I did try all the patches that HTC has offered but , it hasnt fixed it. HD Tweak was really good and to some extent has solved my problems.

Does Windows 7 have anything to do while flashing the ROM , I mean do i need to take care of anything before I go ahead just in case in the future ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
If you use HDSPL to protect your device then you are fine with Windows 7. However, if you use USPL then look <<HERE>>. Once again if you use HDSPL, then skip above drivers and follow <<HERE>>
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
Wait a second. Have you tried installing some 3D drivers first? And do you realize that Windows Mobile 6.1 is FASTER than 6.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
I havent installed the 3D Drivers as yet. Does it enhance the performance of TF3D ?

I havent tried the 6.5 yet as i'm still on the stock ROM , but after i saw a video on youtube of Dutty's 3.9x turbo running 6.5 , i really want to try that ROM as it looked really smooth and fast.

Hey all,

I tried rooting my phone a while ago with no luck, but now I am stuck and have no idea how to proceed.

I came back to my desk today after a meeting and my phone had the amber light and was stuck on the HTC animation. I have tried getting into the fastboot mode and rooting the phone, I tried recovery, I just keep getting

FAILED (remote: not allow)

on my phone

I have hboot-1.33.0010 (DREAM21000)

I am totally stuck, Rogers won't help because I bought the phone from an auction therefore don't have a receipt and I am on pay as you go.

I have an old recovery.img but cannot seem to do anything with it.

Hi,

I've searched the internet and forums, but I get a lot of confusing messages: what codecs are save to use with a stock Leo?

Currently I'm transcoding my 45GB Collection of videos to 800x480 H.264 786 Kbit L3.0 Baseline profile with LC-AAC 128 Kbit audio, but I'd like to know whats possible.

So:

Containers

- The HD2 Supports MP4 and AVI, right?

- Coreplayer probably supports more

Audio

- I know/think the HD2 Supports LE-AAC, as the Diamond 2 did

- Does the HD2 support HE-AAC? Some WM devices do, some dont

- Same with HE-AACv2

Video

- I'm only interested in H.264, which I doubt the Leo doesn't support, but...

- What Profile is safe? (The Diamond 2 supported Baseline). Does it do Mean or High for example?

- What Level or bitrate is safe to use? the Diamond 2 pushed the limit at 384 kbit/s (video+128 kbit aac audio), but I think the Leo can handle 786 Kbit? Is that correct? Has anyone experimented and found a max?

Thanks in avance!!
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Video bit-rates as high as 2000kb/s work fine.

did you use it? Sprite said it can?

I have, but again if you have the PALM thread SMS installed it won't transfer it. I have spoke to them about this and they said they will add it. The regular WM SMS should just transfer over fine.

I don`t , I just found thisone when checking new apps on market. I didn`t tryed that so please don`t PM me with questions :)

Another way could be transfering sms to some xml format and then import them via some android backup apk. Contacts, mails etc could be ported via ms office and then via gmail acc.

On your old phone sync with your google calendar. Its a type of exhange sync that google put up to make this easier.
