[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown_owner:
each one has it's own link. You'll have to read each one to see the difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenever:
I think this is a valid question as these are the two best roms out there and I am trying to decide myself. I think I am going to go with the latest Cyanogenmod nightly. There does not appear to be a lot of information on the damage control due to the limited downloads.

I've only used damage 3.2 up until this point but its time for a change.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freelancerx:
well id go with CM6 seeing as how damage is requiring a "donation" in order for you to use the froyo damage....dont know how much of a "donation" it is when its a requirement....

however the intelligent answer would be use CM6 right now since you don't have to pay for it and when damage 3.5 becomes available for free try that...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
This is of course your opinion. I believe Fresh is the best Rom out right now. And my opinion is equally meaningless. This is not a major life choice...

I understand practical threads dealing with problems and technicalities but these threads which either ask for an opinion as if it were fact (or people responding with their opinion as fact) or asking about things which are easily found out on your own by taking two minutes to read seem utterly pointless and clutter the forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Yeah, tell your "friend" to just try different ROMs and see which is better. If you don't like one, wipe and flash another. Sorry . . . if your "friend" doesn't like one. . . . ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
DC 3.5 has a lot of issues. CM would be your best bet for froyo. For based off of stock you will probably want Fresh or DC.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
If you want Froyo, these are probably the top 2 canidates. It will more than likely come down to Sense or no Sense. CM6 is a bit farther in dev than DC 3.5 but both still have their issues(like every Froyo rom for our phones). Most of the issues are similar across the board. I've run every CM nightly, RC1, and both DC betas. RC1 is the least buggy, but DC's beta 3 will def be much smoother. If you're happy with your current 2.1 rom's speed and stability, stay with it. If you wanna see what your phone is capable of with a few nuances on the way, try out a Froyo rom. The devs have just about everything working. You can always NAND back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tornadobarrage:
my friend decided in CM 6. thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
I loved DC 3.2.3 it was smooth and practicly error less. With that said I jumped to RC1 CM6 and I am loving it. 2.2 and I am not going back. One thing I will say is that CM6 has its settings more integrated into the rom and The old DC had an app to adjust the rom specific settings. For now my choice is CM6.

I know someone mentioned something about donating. Once you choose a rom you like I say donate and be thankful. I know a lot of us spend a few dollars here and there on apps in the market so whats a 5 or 10 dollar donation for a rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Honestly, both RoMs are great and both have some of the same Froyo issues.

I tired them both, and I actually went back to 2.1.

Froyo may be great and all that, but I can't notice much of a difference in anything I do on my phone versus 2.1.

All the people dying for more FPS, MFLOPS(whatever that does) must play a lot of game or something because the only way I know I'm getting more fps or mflops is if I run an app specifically designed to test it.

Not at all bashing Froyo because I'm sure it is amazing, just that the Devs here at XDA have made the 2.1 roms so fast and smooth that I can't tell a difference between them and froyo. For me, the battery life and virtually bugless 2.1 roms beat the 2.2 roms for now. Tell your friend to play around with a few, make a nand on one he likes and go from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamknuckle:
They don't require a donation. He was sending the beta out to anyone who had ever donated to him, ever, including during the Hero ROMs.

People just donated to him now so they could get an early look at it. It wasn't quite up to TrevE and damageless release standards, so they let the people who donated beta test it. You could seriously send them a dollar and they would let you test it. When it's ready for prime time, it will be free.

I've a nandroid of both CM6 and DC 3.5, and they are both great ROMs. I go back and forth pretty much as each one is updated, and it's hard to choose one over the other. I personally like sense, and it doesn't slow Froyo down one bit, as both ROMs test almost identical in quadrant, stdev, and linpack.

When I use CM6, I miss sense. I just like it. I know, I'm in the minority, whatever. When I use DC 3.5, I miss the ultra customization that CM6 allows for, right from the menus.

I'm still undecided, but it will probably be DC in the end, just because I do like sense so much, and from what I've seen, there aren't any drawbacks to it, at least in DC 3.5.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro_bro:
I'm using apps2sd, but I looked under settings for SD and storage, and found that I only have 21MBs free on my phone (not the card).

I was wondering why that's the case, and found that my /system/xbin folder itself is a whopping 127mbs huge!

Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm on the IC3ROM v2.7.

What are others' sizes for this xbin folder?

(I used estrong file explorer to look it up - long pressed the xbin folder, and selected 'details')

I do have busybox installed - is busybox really this huge?

thanks.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk&can=2&q=

Just saw this a few minutes ago.. thought I would share it since I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.

Update: I just tested with my laptop and it is indeed working.

this is the first version that has worked for me at least. besides Barnacle.

Update 2: [BUG] It starts fine and functions for me. But when Disabled and then re-enabled the program says unknown state.

After rebooting it works again.. so if you turn it off you have to reboot to use it again. minor inconvenience , but better than no tethering at all.

Update 3: New version is out and available here

http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre5.apk Good eye dabezt1

This fixes the unknown state issue. I had to reboot after installing to get normal operation from it.

I noticed on code.google.com that this version has been deprecated but it seems to be working fine on the vibrant.

Update 4 From Zephik

Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8-TEST1 *** HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL ***

New version of Wireless Tether available: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Update 5

From the following link you will find all available versions. Check them periodically

Mine seems to get stuck at the Start Tethering: Please wait while starting.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got errors initially (that should get fixed in later versions) but restarted it and I can see the WiFi broadcasting!

Love Android WiFi tether! I will be donating again shortly.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Pneumatic:
Worked for me on Edge to my iPad. I will test the 3G tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Edit: I had the unknown state thing too. A restarted fixed it up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
mine works tested with my friends Iphone 4, i was running on Edge, however when i stop it i still have the Tether Icon in the Icon bar..and it says that its still running any ideas? im going to power cycle and post the results
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
This works so much better than Barnacle for some reason, just going on speed alone.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
Well I am sure the bugs will get worked out. But we have something viable for now.

Also not a fan of barnacle..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dabezt1:
Worked great on edge. Faster than barnacle. I also got the error after closing it and had to restart to use again. Will try out with 3G later today, but seems awesome so far.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dkobia:
Works great so far. Pulled +3mbps on 3g on a speed test via a tethered ipad. It does result in the "unknown state" error on disconnect however... but all that matters is that it works!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blackerwater:
My virus protection went crazy while trying to download this? Careful . Im gonna wait on this one....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
Odd.. since this is coming from code.google.com either way do a scan before downloading.

What virus protection are you running?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dkobia:
Scanned with Norton and Kasperskey ... legit.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Pneumatic:
I just downloaded/installed it straight to the phone. I trust it if it comes from a Google site. They are going to take over the world one day anyway so I guess it is ok if they get to my personal info a little earlier than they get to yours.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DFWGringo:
How do you load it? I download to the SD card, but it won't let me install.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eweo911:
I downloaded the program right from my phone and it installed perfectly. Maybe your download was corrupted somehow?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] coolguy949:
Works great. Seems faster than Barnacle.

The app does get messed up upon shutting down and says unknown state. Reboot seems to be the only way to fix it. I was able to get it to work once by ending the task and retrying. I was only able to do that once though. WiFi adapter gets stuck.

We're so close!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vibrant2010:
Thank you so much....I have the Samsung Vibrant with T-mobile and this app works seemlessly with my laptop and i pod..... I did'nt have any problem with the install or the running of the program... thank you again

^^ Barnacle

I deleted the one I did while tethered with WiFi Tether, but here is one result directly from the phone in the same place.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
My Neighbor had this same issue with his laptop and EVO. We had to upgrade his wireless drivers on the laptop do get it to see the EVO. You should try updating the drivers or use another wireless device and see if it can find your phone. Just to rule out the phone as the issue.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dabezt1:
Op please update with newer version

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hurrpancakes:
Works fine for my phone, no real difference in speed between this and Barnacle for me. Can't wait for 2.2 and it's official tethering!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] marsupial99:
I wouldn't count on "official tethering" to be part of an official Froyo upgrade for T-Mobile Vibrant. I suspect that T-Mobile will ask Samsung to remove "official tethering" from the Froyo rom for the Vibrant. Galaxy S has Samsung's "official tethering" included but Vibrant has that functionality removed - I am willing to bet that T-Mobile will try their hardest to have it removed from Froyo as well. I really think that rooting and using Wireless Tether is our best bet on getting tethering to work with our Vibrants even after we get Froyo.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
I will test it out when I get home.

Don't want to put that link up till I know it works on my phone.

If anyone else wants to test it out let us know how the newer version is working.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MonkySlap:
Well for what its worth, I just tried it and it seems to be working. Even after turning it off and back on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
That's great news....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Pneumatic:
It works great on the iPad and laptop. The bug is fixed in the new release.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Astitious:
I tested the new version and it works great. I was able to start and stop repeatably without any errors.

NM pre5 works great. Thanks.!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bagayas:
recommend fully uninstalling pre4 before installing pre5. Haven't had any problems going that route.

I've also had success with pre5. I used my laptop and my other android phone without a SIM card and it works great. So far so good!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
Hmm WiFI tethering runs and it shows up on my laptop (win 7) but when I try to connect it says 'taking longer than normal to connect...' and never connects. Then if I stop tethering then start again it gives the error message:

"however after turning it off and on again it says "started tethering with errors" the log says ad-hoc and channel selection failed."

It still shows up as an available connection on the laptop though.

Solution?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eist1:
I was having the same issue with Win 7, it showed up as a open connection but would never connect. I went into device manager and found the wireless interface and forced an upgrade of the driver, and now everything is working great. Hope that helps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] coolguy949:
I've been using pre5 since yesterday with no issues until tonight. I opened the app and it immediately said "unknown state". I tried rebooting with no improvement. It seems like this happens when USB is connected when I run the app. Anyone else getting this?

Eh all my drivers are up to date :S Nothing to update
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] n2ishun:
I'm getting the stuck in an unknown state issue with the latest version when trying to turn off tethering.

You have to start the tethering app BEFORE plugging in the usb or you will get other errors (at least I do).

It tethers fine though....surprisingly speedy.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gravis86:
Send it to the phone with Bluetooth, or put it on the phone over USB. It doesn't matter where you save it as long as it's on the phone. Open "Files" in the app list on the phone and navigate to where you saved it. Open it and it'll install automatically.

Hey all...I just got my Vibrant on Friday. I haven't rooted yet. I'm assuming everyone is using the Clockwork mod for this? Also, do I have to root to use the wireless tether? Thanks.

Check this thread for rooting http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479. It's the easiest root yet.

Yes you'll need to root to use the wireless tether. Enjoy the Vibrant, it's a great piece of hardware.

So last night I was using wifi tether, then turned it off went to bed when i got to work a co worker asked if it was tethering my phone because there was an access point "Androidtether" I looked at my phone and was like nah its off..so hour or so later I turned it on( just to make sure it was off ) and right away it said i had someone connect to it..and it was my co worker..so I turned it off and had him scan again to see if there was still available and it WAS! , even though the program was off it was still tethering, and I noticed my battery dieing fast as hell...why would it have been tethering, if the program was off..but my co worker could see and connect to it?

Thanks for the heads up. Installed and working fine. One thing I did notice was that it doesnt initiate the wifi tether if you're hooked up to your computer via the usb. I assume that's because the system is looking to hook up the usb tether instead.

I was able to get around this by starting the wifi tether first then hooking up the usb. Worked fine.
