To use MNS on DC

Hey,

I found this solution works, it was mentioned in another thread here.

1. Completely wipe your phone in recovery. (Factory/Data, Dalvik, and SD Ext)

2. Install DamageControlv1.1beta5 and reboot after the install, verify in Settings>Software that your PRI is 2.11_002.

3. Reboot to recovery, wipe everything again (although you don't have to wipe SD-Ext, but you should always wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik) and install whatever ROM you want that doesn't usually allow MNS, such as the newest version of DamageControl.

4. Once you're up and running with the ROM of your choice, check to make sure your PRI is still 2.11_002.

5. Plug phone into USB and select Internet Sharing.

I have found that sometimes you have to plug it in a couple of times for the PC to authenticate, but I think that might be a PC issue of mine and not a phone issue.

I can verify that this method does enable MNS wired tether on DC v2.5 and DC v2.6. However, I am not sure if/what other side effects might come from having the 2.11_002 PRI. Market works for me still, Sprint Apps still work too, but there may be other things that don't like this PRI. I haven't tried a PRL update on this PRI, so I can't say for sure if that will work. But if the most important thing to you is MNS on a DamageControl ROM, then this is the way to go.

*Don't flash a ROM that automatically fixes your PRI though, or else all of the trouble you're going to will be undone!
[Hero CDMA General] srkmagnus:
That is probably where the problem is. I'd suggest a complete wipe then re-install the ROM since it appears you were missing some parts of the ROM. You need super user permission to use this app.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
The reason you aren't seeing wifi tether on fresh rom is because it's stored on /data/ which means if you did a data wipe at any point after installing it, it gets wiped. It's put there for upgrade purposes but maybe I'll put it in /system/ instead to prevent issues like this.

Yea, that's exactly what I meant about using the wrong PRI. ;) It will also prevent you from automatically getting PRL updates. But wired tether will work.
[Hero CDMA General] raynda:
Thanks for the clarification on that PRL update, Flipz! Hadn't tried it yet. Wasn't sure if it was really that big a deal to update from 60662 to 60663.

By the way, do you think that 2.11_002 could interfere with anything else? Seems odd that it allows me to wired tether, use data, and even use Sprint Apps, but that it interferes with PRL updates. Haha, sorry too, maybe I should do some more reading about this PRI stuff before asking questions about it!
[Hero CDMA General] jdgiotta:
Is there any way to replace the missing app and data without doing another flash. I'd hate to start over again.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Push the apks in his zip under the data/app folder to /data/app on your phone. But even if you did wipe, you should still have SU and autokiller, I believe he put those in /system/app...
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
The Sprint apps won't work either actually. :)

You can flash a rom on top of itself without restoring the phone or losing any data. If you have any custom themes then you'll lose that. So if that's the case then use regaw's instructions. But otherwise, no need to restore.
[Hero CDMA General] mccsomthin:
Worked for me, Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] jdgiotta:
Alright, I was able to get the missing apks, thanks.

Now I'm onto the next problem, su request force close. I know I saw something in the forum about that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo9mrjr:
just needed to know before i flash this rom that i can go back to stock please inform me or give me a link to read the info on this subject
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okawa:
You can load up an orginal rom but the boot loader will still be unlocked. CM and others will have the updates with in days of them being released so I wouldnt worry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
This should be in Q&A

If you want to run CMod, you should commit yourself to flashing roms rather than OTA updates, it is a bit more work, but it is more fun, and you will likely get updates BEFORE stock people, because cyanogen can get the open source code, or leaks before they are released.

I will be interested to see what happens when froyo comes out though.
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
If you click on your clock widget it will open HTC Desk Clock. You can then put your phone on your desk and it'll act just like a desk clock. Problem is, I think the HTC programers screwed up because after about 20 seconds it times out and your screen turns off. When you wake up the phone again you're back at your lock screen. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a desk clock, which should constantly show the time.

Does anyone know if this is something the devs could fix?

PS: Sorry if I'm not explaining this very well...try it and you'll see what I mean.
[Hero CDMA General] jUgGsY:
It could be done. I've no actual experience doing it, but there are apps that prevent the phone from sleeping.

Otherwise, you could just turn off the screen timeout altogether, or there's an option in settings>apps>development to turn off auto-timeout only when the USB cable is plugged in..

Just my two cents.
[Hero CDMA General] thatjerk:
Or you could just go buy a desk clock.... I hear they are pretty cheap.
[Hero CDMA General] highlander1v:
Yes and you could buy an ordinary phone but wouldnt both defeat the purpose?
[Hero CDMA General] pizzachef:
If you plug the phone in and turn on the desk clock, it'll stay on. The time jumps to a different place on the screen every minute or so.

I guess the whole desk clock function was intended to be used with a charger base, so you can actually see the screen.
[Hero CDMA General] pizzachef:
I think it behaves the same with the night time clock too.
[G1 General] moontger2:
hi all, pls its possible running WM 6.5 in G1 ? thks for your time

:confused:
[G1 General] thelistening:
why would you even want WM on a dream?
[G1 General] Macrophage001:
+1 lol nice..
[G1 General] oshizzle1991:
its possible, not probable. but no one will make it happen, too much time would be involved. if you want a 6.5 device get the HD2. if you want an android device....stay with your dream
[G1 General] lbcoder:
To cripple a good phone with WIMO would, in any intelligent person's opinion, be justification to have you locked up in the nearest loony bin.
[G1 General] donepate:
Why would you want to go back to banging your head on the desk, pulling out your hair, and suffer from ulcers again? Are you mad?
[G1 General] refuse2bstopped:
LMAO!!! Wow
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Yriel40k:
Hi,

today I load omapclockkeep and used it. And I set the speed to 300Mhz:D. But after that the mobile freezes and after reboot it hangs every time and restarts:mad: . I dont no what to do.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Yriel40k:
Ok i did with a hard reset. I had to make a compination of pushing buttons while the mobile starts and now it restarts:D. Here you can see if you want:

hardreset.eu/htc_touch_viva_opal_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
Lol on an Omap Device I believe 300Mhz is way to high...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] GFX:
Besides, any frequency higher than 216 MHz will introduce the infamous camera bug, which is not solved till now. (i.e. you can't use the camera above 216 MHz)

However, I'm able to run my OMAP @ 240 MHz, and it's stable, but you'll have to deal with a shortened battery life. But the performance increase is WELL worth it! :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
Well Said my friend.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] zuperxtreme:
I recommend Homescreen++, it has an awesome dynamic overclock function called CPU scaler. My phone is running 195 minimum, 273 max and 286 boost.

It'll lower the frequency when it's idle, push it to 286 when it's doing something intensive and then it'll hover around the original 201 and 273 max.

Plus you can add camera.exe to the exception list so it'll clock it to 201 and you won't get any kind of artifacts in your image. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hiddengopher:
Hi guys, I was hoping we could get a project together to work on a Playstation 1 emulator for Android.

What I miss about my HD2 was FPSECE.

Something like this for us Android users (mainly snapdragon) would be awesome!

A paid app for it would be even better. (money going to whoever creates the app, not me)

Tell me your ideas on this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
+1 :) was thinking about this when i found at that the N900 had a PSX Emu, Chrome Broswer and Firefox :|

PSX Emu is on almost everythin except Android :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
Would be cool.. but I'm sure it would absolutely KILL the battery
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
How do you plan on controlling games?

I can't really see this being an enjoyable experience, unless you have a BT controller or something and you're sitting on a plane or bus where you can prop your phone up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
Iphone has it... wers its buttons ... as long as touchscreen buttons are correctly layed out across the screen it shud be fine. I dont find it hard to play the snes emu or any other emu on the nexus tbh

Also on the N900 they got the ps3 pad hooked up... maybe thats summet that can be done on android, now that would be...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mudrock1000:
I'm more interested in a n64 emulator myself.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Maybe somebody could figure or a way to connect a dual shock 3 via bluetooth. lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LevitateJay:
I saw that someone managed to get the Wii controller to connect to the iPhone for playing games
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jrodizzkool01:
This would be absolutely awesome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hiddengopher:
Thanks for all the responses guys!

I think we cold make this or a N64 emulator happen for snapdragon devices.

For a physical controller:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hiddengopher:
bump. Let's get this thread going again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hefelfury:
I would personally love to see this happen and have loads of GI Bill money to DONATE toward the cause!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hiddengopher:
oooh! :P that would be awesome.

Maybe someone with C++, linux, and java can help us out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jrodizzkool01:
Has anyone tried contacting the developer of Fpsece or the developer of Psx4all? They might be able to help get a ps1 emulator for android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
Yes and was completely ignored...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Erniemac:
this is a shame, with android becoming more and more popular, a KILLER app like this could change the tide faster. I hope some bright folks reconsider and make one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
Guys with the way the Nexus handles multi touch, PSX games would be near unplayable. Any game where you are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously will have a big problem translating over. Hell, this even applies to many of the SNES roms there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] s0nniez:
sad news :( i was surprised on how well the hd2 handled it. damn do i miss playing psx on it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] knightnz:
PSX emulator would be a waste of time, how do you expect to emulate 2 analog control sticks, 4 buttons and the R1/R2/L1/L2 buttons? Only very basic games would be playable.

Even playing PSX games on a PSP is difficult enough sometimes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobdude5:
its not a waste of time..its available for windows mobile and works beautifully for the hd2..also on the iphone

and it is almost done..yongzh the creator of the emulators on android and zodttd the creator of the emulators for iphone are working together on it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] s0nniez:
I agree, it is not a waste of time. How about getting your hands on an hd2 and try it out :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Don't forget Bluetooth controllers, like that Datel one with 2 joysticks and shoulder buttons.

And if someone finds a way to connect a ps3 controller via bluetooth...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jrodizzkool01:
I just read that a Playstation Emulator for Android is currently being made right now!

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-games/35309-playstation-emulator-almost-done.html
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
awesome news! =) can't wait to see how it does.

I know FPSECE runs perfectly on the HD2 which is the same as the N1 internally for what matters.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Lookin for a solution to change the background color of contacts. Lookin for file that will allow for the change. Willing to donate to person who finds It. 10-15 bucks or so
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
You mean like this :D.

2 minute job, now back to looking at FriendStream...;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Yes like that. Where and how
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
It's hex edits to the XML layout files.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Any particular file in there and where shall I donate
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
No donation required. I only looked for the main color panel, which is in common_browse_list.xml, but I am sure there are others that need to be edited as well to change whatever color you are trying to use. I didn't spend the time looking for them all.

So, in other words, if you go to the detail for a particular person, that is likely controlled somewhere else, in a similar fashion.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:

Glad to help. Look forward to seeing your work.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Ok, so I originally bought the Desire SIM free because I didnt expect to be able to find a good deal with it on contract. My plan was to upgrade my current phone, get a good contract and sell the phone from the upgrade, this way I would re-coup some of the money I spent buying the Desire SIM free.

However....

I have just found this deal with orange which I am extremely tempted to buy, therefore making the Desire bought SIM free (which is currently sat in a City Link depot) redundant.

400 Mins

Unltd Text

Unltd Internet

Free Phone

£22.50 P/M

This would arrive on Wednesday whereas my SIM free is due Monday. Do I now?

A) Order the Orange contract and send the SIM free back to the e-tailer and wait for the Orange one to arrive

or

B) Order the Orange contract, use the SIM free from Monday and sell the other Desire once it arrives?

The more sensible thing would be to send the SIM Free back and wait for the Orange one I know, but I have been waiting ages for the phone, im not sure I could leave it un-open once it arrives. Overall I figure i'll lose about 50-60 quid by not returning the SIM free and deciding to sell the orange one on.

Thoughts?
[Desire General] Baldyman1966:
You will get a better price if you sell the unlocked phone. Assuming you can keep it free from harm for 2 days (remember it doesn't come with a cover). you can sell it on e-bay saying you opened it up to charge it and ensure it was working.
[Desire General] slaming:
yeah sell the unlocked online even opened i would have thought it would be worth more than an unopened which is locked to orange.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
only if he gets the original price back or more, at least with sending it back your deffo getting all your money back. Ebay is a gamble and wont always pay off as I have experienced.
[Desire General] slaming:
they are allowed to charge all your postage, but not a restocking fee, so keep an eye out for that if you do return it ;)
[Desire General] Matt2887:
The only thing putting me off selling it on ebay is the commisson they take from the sale, thats where I estimate the 50-60 quid loss.

Do you mean the people I bought the SIM free one from? So I should expect to have to pay the postage costs to me and then back, but that should be all?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
Yes thats normally what online shops do if you return a product for a refund. Special delivery should not cost you more then £7 or £8 tho.

If you unlock then it will cost you the fee for that which is 25 euros as I heard the 15 euro method dont work. Plus the ebay seller fees so not really worth it.
[Desire General] callummc:
where did you get that orange deal?
[Desire General] slaming:
yep thats all the have a right to do, i remember reading it in something i read in business studies i think. but yeah no restocking fee.

edit: you will probably have to also pay for insurance on the return etc....
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Totally agree with you there. I recently sold my HD2 for £347 (inc. postage). eBay ended up taking around 10% off me for fees (about £35.00) and Paypal took £12.00.

So I made about £300.00 overall, and put that money towards my desire ;)
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Here 3rd result down, Ok so its by redemption but if it saves me that much then I do not mind. Not sure how long that deal will last though so i'd get it sooner rather than later if you are thinking about it.
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
To OP if I was you I would look at what Orange are calling unlimited internet. A friend at work bought an HD2 from them and only got half a gig per month usage I'm sure there top package only had 1gig usage. Might not be something you would want given the amount of data these phones might use.just a thought.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, looking at the Orange t&c's its unclear what unlimited internet is, they say:

"Inclusive Mobile Internet - up to 500MB anytime mobile internet browsing. Usage above 500MB will be charged at the rates set out in the Price Guide - see orange.co.uk/paymonthlyguide.

Unlimited mobile internet -subject to fair usage. Mobile internet is not to be used for other activities (e.g. using your handset as a modem, non-Orange internet based streaming services, voice or video over the internet, instant messaging, peer to peer file sharing). Should you exceed your fair usage limit or such use be detected, notice may be given and Network protection controls applied to ensure the quality and availability of our network to all customers. This may result in, at Orange’s discretion, reduced speed of transmission, suspension of data browsing services and/or suspension of your account. For use in the UK only. "

So does this mean, because the offer advertised as unlimited mobile internet and not inclusive mobile internet that there is no limit on how much data I can use, I just cant use the mobile internet for the specified things, i.e. using the handset as a modem etc?

Edit: I found on a different terms and conditions page that unlimted mobile internet is 750MB per month still not a whole load, how much do you think the average user uses? Lookin at my old bills from O2, using an X1 I at most used 200MB but that was only receiving emails really.
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
My friends HD2 used 300meg in 16 days and he said he only installed a few apps etc. I would assume that with friendstream etc usage would go up. I don't want to put you off. It will come down to how you use it, if you main usage is at home on WiFi it doesn't really matter but when told me he only had 500meg I was shocked. Don't want you to find yourself in the same boat.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
No I can see your point exactly and your probably right, with all the apps and widgets etc constantly being connected its going to take up alot of data. Who provides the best data package? I think I remember someone saying that t-mobile allow for 3gig?
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
Yes tmob have 3gig and I think o2 haven't got an amount stated. I got my phone from t-mobile direct with 600 mins and 500 text with a 'booster' that gives me unlimited text. It cost 25 quid per month. I paid 130 ish for the phone on a18 month contract. I think you can get a 24 month contract and only pay 60 quid. Hope this helps
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Do you know then if it is possible to set the phone to use wi-fi whilst at home, and then when you leave home for it to switch the wifi off (save battery) and use the 3G connection, and then go back to wifi when your at home or will this all have to be manual? I suspect that's the case...
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I think Android handles this intelligently by default. When the screen is on it will try to use WiFi. If no WiFi that you have access to is in range it will fall back to 3G, then Edge, then 2G, in that order, depending on coverage. When the screen is off (the phone is in standby) it will disconnect from WiFi. This works very well as generally speaking the screen being on means the user is actively using the phone, so WiFi will give the fastest connection and use less power than 3G. When the phone is in standby the data connection is relatively idle, so it disconnects from WiFi to save power.

I don't think this is quite what you are looking for, but is compatible with 2.1 and seems useful nevertheless:

http://www.gearsoft.mobi/products/product/3

EDIT: Another handy app is "Power Control", available for download via the Android Marketplace. It lets you manually toggle connections on the Home Screen, allowing you to enable/disable them manually to save battery power, for example.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
If it does work like that, that is very clever! I expected the user would have to manually switch things on and off in order to achieve this.

How would it handle receiving emails then if the screen was off and in standby? I assume thats the default if you are not using phone? Or is there some other thing you do, when not using the phone, such as locking which still keeps the phone active but dulls and locks the screen?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Well, I think you can achieve this via the phone settings. Try setting your phone to stay connected when phone screens off:

Not sure if this is the exact path, but there is such an option, I think its found in Menu > Settings > Wireless Control > Mobile Network Settings > check the option Enable always on mobile.
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
I didn't think the always on internet option would actually turn WiFi off if you wasn't in range bit I have find WiFi sleep policy in advanced setting for WiFi, not sure if that turns the WiFi radio off though. It would be easy just to put the WiFi widget on your home screen and just manually switch WiFi off when you leave home though.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
I decided to go for the deal, just waiting on the conformation of order now. Think I might try and see if anyone here wants to buy for a reduced price, will save the hassle of ebay etc. Failing that i'll get it unlocked and sell it elsewhere.
[Desire General] Fallen Spartan:
If you plan to sell on XDA, you'll need to post it in Marketplace ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxppp:
The step where you install DRC83 (after you have installed DRC7 then installed the Cyanogen 1.4 recovery image), then Cyanogen, then update the radio image, i actually did in the wrong order (realised as soon as i had done the radio update, so the actual order was DRC83->update radio->DRC83->Cyanogen->update radio).

The bootloader errored the second time i tried to update the radio, i then rebooted (as this was the last thing to do anyway) and it booted up the new cyanogen fine.

Just double checking I am in the clear or whether i should start over again (ie. lost speed benefits due to me ****ing it up)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cilokid:
