After I removed 'daily briefing' from the list of apps, when I slide the homescreen over to the left where daily briefing used to be, it gives a "problem loading widget" screen. Can another widget be put in its place?
[Captivate General] trekie86:
Of course. Just hold-click the widget and throw it in the trash can that pops up. Then hold-click the desktop and add whichever widget you like from the list. The uninstall just didn't remove the widget reference.
[Captivate General] dginfw:
Never mind, I figured out what I needed to do, but couldn't go back and delete my post. Thanks for your help, though.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Yes, just drag that widget to the trash.

And I never had any problems either after deleting the Where app.

Thanks to Harald Mueller for staying with this. A new version has been posted that fixes wireless tether on the Aria here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk&can=2&q=

It requires the patch described here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible

I did not test with WEP encryption, and would not be surprised if it did not work, but mac filtering should work just fine.

Edit: Infrastructure mode and not ad-hoc mode now works with liberated_aria_R003. Encryption is also confirmed working.

I use this version with R003: wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk

And I use this bin extracted and placed into a folder called android.tether in the root of the sdcard : http://www.mediafire.com/?h4wmvi9iwdvextv

Note: The folder name MUST be exactly android.tether - and as all things Linux, it is case sensitive.

Enjoy!

Connecting to the Internet with Ubuntu...

I used the following instructions to set up an ad hoc network connection in Ubuntu 10.04 which enabled an Internet connection from the phone (you need to enable the wifi and 3g connections on the phone, of course.)

The source is "ubuntugeek" and the title is "creating-an-ad-hoc-host-with-ubuntu"

The download speeds was 3.0 Mbps which was remarkable (it was the middle of the night when I ran the test).

I have not tested the "range" of the connection and will try connectivity in Win7 tomorrow. Could use an unlimited data plan!

i've been using pdanet on a couple rooted aria's and it works fine, not sure what this one fixes

> 2) Extract a file named fw_bcm4329_ap.bin (located in /system/etc/firmware)

is it possible for someone to upload just the one needed file
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
Yeah if someone could just upload that one file that would be great. That way everyone won't have to download an entire Evo system dump just for one small file.
[HTC Aria Android Development] acedj123:
Here is the file you are all looking for. It has already been renamed and ready to copy to the SD card. Just unrar it and you should be all set.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eortizr:
yeahhh,,, working great.... thanks.....
[HTC Aria Android Development] breakeven:
Ok so got it working, and I am sending this from it right now. HAHAHA! Anyway, I ran into a problem, but it has been fixed. You have to have the Evo bin file to get it to work. I originally just ripped my own file off of the system in file manager and it was bust. The log showed it accessing it, but no joy. Then I saw someone post the Evo file and now works no problem.

Thanks.

Works like a charm!!!

This is awesome!!!

Note: I didnt mount the sdcard from recovery nor access adb shell and mkdir /sdcard/android.tether

I just used windows explorer and created new folder on sd card where I unzipped the rar file. It works regardless.

Thanks everyone, this phone be on its way to being a USB host at this point due to the talented dev team!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] xandr115:
Awesome, thank you. It works like a charm. Speed could be better, but that's probably just my network.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pantheis:
Just wanted to say that I tried to do this a couple weeks ago when I found that fix, but it didn't work at the time. I guess they did an update to the wireless tether app, and that, along with the firmware fix, got wireless tethering working on my rooted Aria.

It's somewhat slower than I was hoping for, but it works. :)

-edited to add-

I enabled WEP encryption, changed the key, and it still works just fine, not that WEP really provides any sort of protection, but at least it works.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Amama:
My boyfriend is thinking of getting this phone. Would he have to get the tethering plan for this to work or is it similar to how the g1 does the tethering?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
No you do not need a tethering plan. This is back door kind of tethering lol.
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
On a side note it works GREAT and the fix was SUPER simple. Good work!!

Thank you Harald Mueller... you da man!

I was a little weary about getting this phone. I was afraid that it wouldn't get the support that other Android phones get because of AT&T. That would of been a shame because it's such a nice little phone.

I think the Aria was a good move on HTC's part. At a time when the latest and greatest Android phones keep getting bigger with ever release HTC releases a powerfull phone in a small package. WIFI tethering was the one feature I missed from my 3GS. The Aria does everything I need it to do now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] michaelb420:
i followed it step by step but my laptop still wont connect to the aria tethering im rooted and everything not sure what the deal is, it finds the wifi device but says limited connectivity and wont open anything, any advice would be great, thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hashbrown:
Delete everything and start over. 1)Install newest wireless tether (adb install or htc sync or from sdcard).

2) download and extract bin file and save a copy in a new folder on the sdcard named android.tether

3) save a copy of wireless tether in the same folder android.tether

4) launch wireless tether from sdcard.
[HTC Aria Android Development] michaelb420:
Sweet got it thanks. Man this Aria just keeps getting better!
[HTC Aria Android Development] friedice:

install blocked

when im installing it i get install blocked.. i already root it but same error
[HTC Aria Android Development] breakeven:
OK, you can do all of this from your phone by the way.

Steps;

1. Make a folder on your phone using a file manager or mount your phone to your computer. The folders name should be without quotes "android.tether".

2. Download the file that acedj123 posted earlier on page 2 and I have reattached to this post. Unrar it and put it in your new folder /android.tether

3. Download the newest version of wireless tether here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk&can=2&q= and install it.

4. When you first turn it on in your phone, goto MENU; ACCESS CONTROL; ENABLE

5. Go back, turn on tether, then go back to access control.

6. On your computer, connect to the wireless ad-hoc network of your phone. On your phone grant access to your computer after you verify the mac address.

7. All done have fun.

A note, you do not have to put a copy of the apk in the /android.tether folder to make it work. All that will do is put a copy of the apk in that folder and nothing else, since we do not have apps2sd and that would be the wrong way of doing it anyway. Make sure you look through the settings of the app on your phone. To enable Mac address filtering follow my steps and you don't need to use a silly wep key, they are horrible anyway. If you don't get a dhcp address then start over after you delete everything.

Things you cannot do. 1. Use the app from the app store, it does not support the phone yet. 2. Use your own .bin file from your phone, needs to be the one from the evo rip.

Anybody having issues with wifi dropping randomly after installing the wifi tether app/patch?

[HTC Aria Android Development] mrandyp69:
you need to have sideloading enabled. check in the aria forums for a thread that says "workaround for unsupported sources"

I tried that and its not working for me. I may be doing something wrong but I don't know what.
[HTC Aria Android Development] uborame:
Just wanted to say that I finally got it up and running, and I am very pleased. This seems to be working very well. I haven't experienced any issues yet, and I really don't plan on using it that often. I just need it in a pinch when no wifi available. Thanks everyone involved in getting this going. it seems that we are on our way to freeing up a phone that should have been free from the beginning.
[HTC Aria Android Development] nathanghart:
Works great!

Thanks to all for getting this running. I have a quick noob question now. How do you get another HTC Aria to see the wireless network? My computer and iPhone can see the new network but not my other HTC Aria?

I am thinking it has something to do with Ad-Hoc networking instead of infrastructure, but I am not sure.

Thanks again for your help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
I tried to connect my sisters aria via wifi analyzer and it says adhoc not supported with android

Trouble connecting with Wireless Tether

I have installed Wireless Tether with the patch. My computer sees the network, and the phone vibrates when connected, but I can not get to the internet with this connection. I installed PDAnet and can get out with a tethered connection, so I believe the phone portion is working.

I can see the IP changes in ipconfig from my normal router, but can't ping the gateway, nor do I have DNS.

Any thoughts welcomed.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
did you enable wifi
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomlogan1:
Wifi is enabled, but still no DNS. :confused: Not that big a deal as my purpose was to have the phone serve as a modem when I couldn't get to wifi so pdanet serves that purpose, albeit slowly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
This doesn't seem to work on the cm6 release of froyo recently ... this patch probably is just for liberty I assume?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DFWGringo:
I have used Unrevoked to root my HTC Aria, and then used the Liberated ROM. BusyBox was found in /system/xbin. So, I think I am ready to go. I am not sure if the file fw_bcm4329.bin goes on the SD Card in /systems/etc/firmware or on the phone in this directory? The next problem I am having is that when I try to run the wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk I get “Install Blocked”.

Can anyone help me with where to place the patch and how to run the install application from my SD card?

Thanks!

NoooooooooooooooooooBBBBBBBBB!!!! :confused::confused:

[HTC Aria Android Development] mandp523:
I have an Aria also. What does "rooted" mean?

AT&T set me up a tethering acct. htc had me download htc sync. Then, I was also supposed to choose a tethering program. I chose AndroidTether since that was the only one that didn't require a "root". I have been trying for the last 24 hours to finish up so that I can tether. However, I am doing something wrong. I downloaded adb to both x86 and amd64 (don't know which one I should be doing). According to those directions, I was then supposed to connect my phone. I did that, and I think I unzipped both of the files. Now what? I tried AT&T again, and also htc, and they were no help. I have emailed AndroidTether, and no help either. I am about ready to take the whole thing back!

Works great!!!!! Even WEP encrption

I'm a software engineer but new to the xda forums and new to rooting phones. Just got my aria about a month ago. I got wired tethering to work with the easy tether program without having to root. (HINT: for att users that can't find the program in the market just turn on airplane mode and connect via wifi and att can't block all those apps they dont want you to have) But I decided to start having some fun. rooted phone with unrevoked3 and the live ubuntu cd. Can u say "That was easy". :D

I used the latest liberated rom (R003) and followed attn1 instructions for side loading and installing wireless tether (pre8 version) and everything works like a charm! even the WEP encryption!

As a side note: not really sure why wireless tethering is so important to everyone one as it kills your battery like right now, so you either need it plugged into the wall or pc to keep charged anyway. Just thought i'd mention that for all those that are doing all this just to get wireless tether when wired works great.

I am going to try and write up a very detailed "How To" for those out there that aren't so computer savy as it even took me lots of search time to put it all together. When its done where should I post it? Pm me with any questions/suggestions.
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispien:
The main reason tethering is so important is that AT&T says no, and being mostly contradictory we say yes, even if we never use it!
[HTC Aria Android Development] hocplyr98:
I actually use it when I can't get internet, or when I want to get around the proxy server at school.

[Android Apps and Games] aikeru:
I've written an app I currently call "Andramote" to remote control my MediaPortal Home Theatre PC from my Android smartphone. Here's how it works:

- Small, lightweight C# "webserver" sits on your HTPC, runs on startup

- Navigate to the ip/hostname/port of your HTPC with your Android/iPhone

- You are served with an HTML5 app with buttons that are attached to AJAX events that, when sent back to your HTPC, press buttons/etc on your HTPC.

I did this because my remote broke and I needed a solution. :)

I am considering open-sourcing this and just releasing it out to the community so others can expand on my humble beginning. It should be really easy to extend as it's all C# / JavaScript / HTML.

It is a bit messy and very minimal on functionality right now so I'm wondering how much interest there is as well. This could easily work with WinMo, too, just that WinMo does not have an HTML5 browser so separate markup/etc. would need to be added.

Edit: Apparently there's a very advanced and feature-filled project here on the MP forums:

http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ipimp-518/

Although I notice it does require Apache as this is just a run-and-go solution (currently a console app). I've messages the creator and am considering abandoning this in favor of his app.

plllllllllllllllllllllllllls
[G4] n2rjt:
The wizard has been around for a long time, and many people through the years have had problems similar to this. Please spend some time searching the older threads or the sticky threads. If you hold the camera button while powering on the phone, you may be able to get to the three-colored bootloader screen.

If that doesn't work, and you have some skillz, perhaps you can put together the JTAG interface and reflash that way. Again, the instructions are to be found in the forums.

Nobody will do the searching for you, but both Google and the site itself have very good search facilities. If you spend an hour or two, you will find something.

Maybe nothing you find will help in your particular situation, and you have a pretty but useless brick.

Good luck searching for a solution.
