Ad Hoc

Anybody else here have any luck getting ad hoc networking up and running? My droid is my only source of internet ATM, and I've been trying like he** to get it to work. I can use ADB, and have followed the instructions from sladedroid for the PDN: "I have infrastructure and adhoc working at the same time!! Do you want to? look here!"

I get the files pushed and the apk installed, but when I go to backup files as per instructions, i get errors (even though the files it says it cannot find are indeed located where theyre supposed to be...)

Ive also followed the simpler 'modify and push' instructions that directly pertain to this device right here on xda, but to no avail. I either get 'wifi cannot start' 'unable to search for networks -directly followed by wifi turning itself off- or my network shows up with excellent signal but will not obtain the ip address.

If anyones got ANY information on getting this working (whether it follows the same instructions or not) Id be very appreciative.

Btw- Thanks for the hard work in other areas linc :) this device is coming a long way.

Here is a little power saving tip.

I noticed that cell was using a majority of my battery power, 54% according to the android power usage utility. So, I installed quick settings, and put the GT into airplane mode, followed by turning the WiFi back on. Since then, My battery life has improved a lot, and cell is no longer listed on the battery use summary.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
Great idea on airplane mode.. is an app needed to do that. You said u installed quick settings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
Hey thanks for that! Thatwas bugging me. I'm learning a LOT from this thread alone. Great reading for the non techies like me. For the average / poor people. Like myself the gentouch is AWESOME alternative to higher priced tech. (Even with obvious hardware/software flaws)

Posted from my gentouch 78!!!! And loving it

Ok, these directions work great for rooting, but don't use this SU file, use the SU file from the opening post. If you use this SU file, programs like AutoKill (for memory management) will force close and SetCpu will revert back to the very lowest frequency on the minimum alloted regardless of how many times you change it. Switching to the SU file in the OP corrected all these issues for me... just my $.02

ok guys i have used freewarelovers.com to download a couple progs for my GT. google voice does install and does allow sms's to be sent and received. as this is my first android i am still getting used to setting this thing up. havent tried to download any backup progs yet.

has anyone asked about creating a new forum for this thing? that way we can seperate the rooting and development with posts like this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
I will ask, but I think they won't add one. Our best bet would be using the Discussions tab in the wiki, I think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
The airplane mode setting is missing on the GT, at least it is on mine. Therefore, I needed a third party app to get me into airplane mode; any airplane mode widget will do, but without the market, options were limited. I used SlideME app manager, downloadable from there website. After that, wifi can be managed as usual.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linckraker:
I got tired of the fake radio eating battery and i didn't want to install another app for airplane mode.

So instead i removed Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk from /system/app and put them in a directory on my SDcard for backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
Did that help with battery life?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linckraker:

opps mustang have skipped that one

I read all the posts since august 20 but no lock screen

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OstrichSak:
When I locate setupwizard in Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications and click it all the options are grayed out. What do you mean by uninstall? Also, will this mess anything up if I do it on both my Augen and my Droid? Will it just remove the swipe to unlock screen? I can locate it within Titanium Backup and there's an uninstall option I just want to make sure it won't mess anything up and that I can reverse it afterward. I assume if I did a backup already I can uninstall, test it and if it doesn't work out install from the previous backup? Thanks for the clarification.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thoughtlesskyle:
so yes you would need to uninstall it with titanium back up, it will get rid of your lock screen along with when you first booted it those prompts that told you to set up your google account, if you have a backup you can always restore that to get the app back, im not sure how easy it is to install it without a backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OstrichSak:
Can anyone confirm that uninstalling the setupwizard works? I was reading around the inernet and some are saying that the Home button & send button (on mobile phones) to not function properly and also caused issues with mounting the SD card. I don't want to create other issues simply trying to disable the swipe to unlock screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] obiwan22:
Ill test it in a little while and let you know

Alright, I found this that says it's safe to remove. Before I do that does anyone know where I can find the apk to download and have should I need to reinstall?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thoughtlesskyle:
if its a generic setupwizard your looking for i can do that i dont that the direct .apk from the augen as i dont have one
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] obiwan22:
just backup your augen through clockwork-no worry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] obiwan22:
all right I tested it out by deleting SetupWizard.apk

I CONFIRM it doesnt delete the lock/swipe screen. So no need to delete it.\\

tested on augen gentouch v3 patch(current)

so yea, no current way to get rid of lock screen on the augen

sorry about that im not sure where it is then, i deleted it on 2 differnt roms and it removed it both times

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheZeke:
A few questions now that I've installed the latest updates (all working wonderfully of course, thank you so much LineCracker).

Whenever the lock screen comes up (which I really don't mind much), my screen goes back to Landscape orientation. This is a big annoying to have to constantly use RotateD to go back.

I have enabled airplane mode and disable the "sleep after X minutes" option, but now it comes out of sleep (when I hit the power button to put it there) just by touching the screen. I've looked around in settings, but can't seem to find how to fix this.

Is there any way to get the Nexus One boot screen back? The android pirate is lulzy and all, but I liked the other boot animation better.

I have it on airplane mode, using Quick Settings. But it always disables wifi. Is there any way to make it so that it stays in airplane mode, but doesn't disable on reboot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] goodintentions:
And yet it doesn't have apk manager.

Anybody notice all the notification sounds are gone and so is the option to set it in the settings? Also has anyone noticed the boot time takes FOREVER?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
I only noticed excessively long boot time IMMEDIATELY after applying the v1 & v3 patch, i.e. first reboot after flashing... (I let it boot to Android after each flash, then shutdown and did the clockwork updates from linckraker...)

Once all is done, the boot time doesn't seem to be too terribly bad... possibly it's the fact that the boot screen is now static makes it "feel" like it takes longer? (I know the first time that I saw the cheezy static Augen Android that I was getting a bit worried, which is why I also like animated boot screens as they can be a possible indicator that something has gone wrong/hung/frozen...)

Ad Hoc networking

My experience with Ad-hoc networking the Gentouch to a Droid:

I can confirm that it does indeed work. I do not have my Gentouch on me right now so I will try and explain from memory the steps I think need to be done for this to work.

1. Create a new network connection from the built in "Wi-Fi Settings" tool, I called mine "Droid".

2. Ensure that your ad-hoc source is set to broadcast the same SSID as in step 1 (ie. "Droid"). I am currently using "Android-Wifi-Tether Wireless Tether for Root Users version 2.0.5-pre8"

3. On the Gentouch, edit the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file. In the network section that you created in step 1 (ie. "droid") add a mode=1 line and change the priority to 99 (not sure if this is necessary or not). As the last line in the upper section add ap_scan=2 (this is very important).

Note: Step 3 can be accomplished by pulling the file via adb, editing it with a text editor, and re-pushing the file. What I did not like about this method is that the premissions continually got fouled up resulting in an "unable to start wifi" notice when you tried to turn it on. If this happens all you need to do is (either at the command prompt or through adb shell) run the following commands:

su

chown wifi.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

My preferred method of performing this is through root explorer (can be obtained on the market for $0.99 I think). Using root explorer just click the mount as R/W button and navigate to the /data/misc/wifi folder. Long press on the wpa_supplicant.conf file and select "open in text editor". Make the changes stated in step 3 and press the back button. It will automatically backup hte edited file and save the changes. I like this method because it can be done on the fly (which you will see is neccessary) and because it does not result in ownership issues.

4. Start your ad-hoc source, give it a bit to initiate

5. On the Gentouch, open the built in "Wi-Fi Settings" tool. Click "Turn on Wifi". It should immediately see your ad-hoc AP (usually whether it's actually turned on or not) and try to obtain an IP address.

6. If it says "Unsuccessful" click the turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It seems to take as many as 3 or 4 cycles for mine to connect sometimes.

7. This is where I get a bit fuzzy. Sometimes I will turn on the wifi and my "droid" AP never shows up in the scan. When this happens I notice that the ap_scan=2 line has dissapeared from my wpa_supplicant.conf file. Re-adding the line solves the problem (hence the conveneience of using root explorer instead of ADB). I believe that if you connect to any infrastructure network it deletes the ap_scan=2 line but I have not tested this.

One of these days I may work on a script that automatically does some of this for me when necessary.

Hope this helps someone, I know I was frustrated for 2 weeks by this since my droid is my only internet connection. I will answer any questions I can, please update if I left anything out or if anyone finds a better way.

ANYONE WANNA BUY MY GENTOUCH...

I have a Augen GenTouch, from the first batch that were sold at Kmart, it has no scratched and hasn't left my room once. Barely used.

Its got clockwork, I did the Augen update and calibration thing.. I added the AppMarket from there site. I've not rooted it, or done the market fix or anything. I deleted a few apps it came with. That's all. It runs great n has ADW Launcher.

I'd like to sell my Gentouch. If anyone here wants one, or another to play with then PM me..

How do I get the Market to work WITHOUT ADB on the Gentouch

Hey guys,

Here's the question....

I have installed v3 update and update.zip for pirate... also install auto memory and set cpu... system seems slow still... but that's not the question... question is this:

is there a way to get the market to work WITHOUT ADB commands? I can't seem to get it to work and i've tryed on Mac OSX, WinXP, Win7,Win&64bit... can i manually do this via the gentouch maybe on its terminal? does someone have a script i can run? i just want to do it all via the gentouch without ADB...

Please advise!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
If I were you, and still have receipt in hand as I do, I would just return it instead of selling it. You have 90 days, per K-Mart's return policy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
I see no way around most of these. However, you can change the boot animation back to the Nexus one by pushing the Nexus bootanimation.zip to /system/media, replacing the existing one. I haven't done it with this particular device, but many times in the past.

The landscape lock screen issue can be corrected, but I am not knowledgeable as far as how. Dig around in the G1 section, and you will find it. In the wild west days of hacking the G1, many ways around issues were found, such as portrait and landscape lock screens. I've pushed many in my time here, but it has been quite some time.

I've attached the Nexus bootanimation.zip from Linckraker's first zip for you. Good luck.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Daishus:
Hello, I am fairly new to the Augen and have only had it for a short time. After roughly a week it locked up and I could not get it to even boot all the way in, I updated with the patch from Augen and it now lets me all the way in but there is no responce from the touch screen, only the physical buttons. Do you think it is hardware related and Augen will need to fix/replace it or is there other things you think I might try to resolve the issue?

Apply the update from Augen's website. Many of us had issues with not booting past Tuz (the little creature). Doing the update writes a new boot, and system.img so it usually will fix software issues.

Make sure you are running v3 update from here:

And then this *.zip file which you use CLOCKWORK to apply:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] collindv:
This happened to me as well. I think it is because it runs the calibration program at first boot (behind the lockscreen) and is waiting for the calibration touches. I was able to use the "input keyevent" commands (Google them) from adb shell to finally get by the lockscreen and into the calibration program. Everything was fine once I calibrated.
