Closest you'll get is USB tethering for the moment using a couple of apps in the market place.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the beauty of our special super-phone: we have 2 different os's!

Close down Android, boot up trusty ol' WinMo 6.5.x , fire up that perfectly fine WiFi router, wax nostalgic for a while, and when you have satisfied your need for a hot spot... wait for it... run clrcad and HaRET.

Bam! Best of both worlds until we have an Android fix. Just my .02.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SiL3nTKiLL:
yeah i agree, use WinMo for Wifi hotspots!
[Vibrant General] daemorok:
When I go into the settings to enable wifi I get the following messages back to back, either one can show up first:

"unable to save the network"

"unable to scan networks"

When this started the phone was not rooted.

I rooted the phone in an attempt to fix this.

I deleted /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf after backing it up.

This fix was suggested in the EVO forum, however it did not work for me, also the wpa_supplicant.conf was not recreated, and I was under the impression that it would be.

Has anyone had this issue and fixed it without doing a factory reset?
[Vibrant General] mikey98277:
Now that you are rooted, i would say do a nandroid backup, then do a factory reset to see if that fixes your issue, if not, then you have a backup to restore to incase it does not work, if it does, then your good to go, if not restore and you are no worse off.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
How do you do a NANDROID backup? Using Koush's recovery image? I saw initial unstability issues so didn't bother with it. I'm still hoping to see Amon Ra's recovery.
[Vibrant General] koreanjhee:
oh jeez i'm glad this thread is here. I have the exact same problem now. I don't remember anything significant enough to screw up the wifi, but I did use XBMC and Allshare as a trial run and it worked fine and I was amazed.

The next day the wifi is gone and 'unable to scan networks' gets on.

Can somebody help with this issue?

I will nandroid back soon and see how it goes down.
[Vibrant General] mikey98277:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734164

that is a link to the how to, just follow the first post, once you have clockwork recovery installed do a nandroid back up through ROM Manager,(if that is the koush recovery you said you had your set, just install the app) try a factory reset after backup and see if that fixes your problem, if it does then your set, if it does not fix it, then you can always do a restore and it will put your phone right back to how you had it when you did the back up.

Just ensure that you dont partition your sdcard with the rom manager, it will wipe your whole phone internal sdcard, not the external one, you should have no reason to do this anyways, just wanted to let you know not to try for fun. as it is not one of the steps to backup or restore anyways.
[Vibrant General] merophosis:
I had the same problem and found that the problem seems to stem from Allshare. I used it briefly and disconnected from WiFi, later that night, I enabled WiFi and had this problem. Today I opened Allshare and it prompted me to turn on WiFi, I was redirected to the WiFi menu and attempted to turn it on again. Of course it failed the first time, but I repeated this process of opening Allshare and pressing "Back" when it tried to redirect me to the WiFi menu. Doing this two or three times somehow managed to get my WiFi finally to recognize and now it all works. I would say, that if anyone is to run into this issue, I think it's Allshare related. This is what I did to fix it, hope it helps.
[Vibrant General] koreanjhee:
thank you for that. i'll go try it out
[Vibrant General] koreanjhee:
None of that works. Does any developers or anyone with some experience have any advice or fixes? Much appreciated.

[Vibrant General] merophosis:
I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Allshare or XBMC. I think it has something to do with the phone having to scan a network for other devices to obtain indexes. When I was messing with allshare, I disabled the wifi in the middle of the phone attempting to scan my network for my media servers. That's the only thing I did, so it's the only thing that could have caused my issue. When I opened allshare again it asked me to enable wifi, I received the error a couple of more times then after a few times it fixed itself, which led me to believe that it was allshare that caused the issue to begin with. I'm hoping that samsung is aware of this bug.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Same issue, first time I restored a Nandroid backup to get things rolling again. This time I was testing a new DLNA server at home with AllShare, since then Wifi wont stay on. I have sent a message to Samsung support about it. Rebooting doesn't seem to help, not sure how to do a workaround.

Best thing is to go into AllShare, make sure Wifi is on, wait a few seconds and then go to home screen. Usually after a few tries the Wifi setting will stick.
[Vibrant General] merophosis:
Like I said, all I did was to try and go in and out of Allshare back and forth between the Wifi application and enabling/disabling Wifi. After a few tries, it magically enabled successfully and worked. I wish I had a better fix or better advice, but all I can say is that I just had Wifi disabled, attempted to launch Allshare, Allshare told me to enable Wifi, so it automatically took me to the Wifi settings menu, I enabled it, received the error, went back to allshare, it sent me to settings again, I enabled wifi again and immediately pressed back to get back into Allshare, at which point I just bounced back and forth between the two, hitting back immediately to get back into Allshare, and somehow Wifi worked. This leads me to believe that Allshare didn't finish "something" with wifi, so interrupting Allshare in the middle of a network scan is bad.
[Vibrant General] jon6206:
already returned one unit to tmobile because of this issue a couple weeks ago had no idea it was related to allshare. makes sense i was using it to try to stream to my xbox the day before
[Vibrant General] merophosis:
Looks like a pattern to me!
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Also, if you are using Juice Defender, you may have a setting that is turning off WiFi.
[Vibrant General] jimrogers1212:
Fixed for me

So I had the same problem. Not with allshare, never use it. Just randomly stopped working. Anyway, follow the link below, it fixed the problem. It does require root and editing the conf file rather than deleting it. I had a missing } from the end of one of my entries for some reason. I removed all of the saved ssid's and put in the missing } to the end of the t-mobile entry and no more problem!

I can't post links so change the below hxxp to http

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] benlaug:
Hi,

I have a big problem and I don't understand what is the problem.

I have a HTC Desire with the DeFrost 2.5a ROM and a sd card with FAT32/ext3 partitions.

Everything is ok except one thing : when I try to install two specific applications I have some issues :

- During the installation of the WordPress application, I have a message which said that there is not enough free space to install the application (which is not true).

- During the installation of the SpeedTest (from Ookla) the phone crashes.

I have not this kind of issues with others applications and I don't understand why WordPress and SpeedTest can't be installed.

Thanks,

Benjamin

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kthejoker20:

I like the widgets that come with sense. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctpoore413:
Get a sense rom... CM6 wont get sense....

Edit:

I'm running Bakedsnacked 1.1 (no time to upgrade to 1.2 yet) and I like it alot for a sense rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
CM is built off AOSP. I'm pretty sure the only way would be for Cyanogen to add it himself and that won't ever happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutus2TheMax:
If you're looking for an answer, it is impossible to have Sense on Cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevey500:
A CM6 rom with sense would be pretty cool, especially for those changing carriers, think it's possible with rom kitchen ?

Can I ask, what makes this impossible?

Background

The only reason I am interested is because I have my Evo on Alltel, sprint's network doesn't cover anywhere we adventure off to all the time, alltel and verizon plaster all the places we go. So, ... for us carrier switchers, we run into "data call failure" error messages because the stock sense rom sometimes calls out to Sprint, I have yet to find out what package in the stock rom is doing that or I'd just remove it and all would be perfectly fine. Running CM6, my evo on alltel switching from 3G to 1X perfectly fine, no issues at all. On the stock sense rom 3G works perfect, when 3G isn't available 1X doesn't connect, gives me sprint PCS failures. Changing the telephony.db allowed me to get MMS working.

CM6 has the terrible android OS camera, and I honestly like HTC's sense UI a whole lot along with their MMS app. MMS does not work in CM6 when editing the telephony.db The browser in the stock sense rom is much better, etc... I already tried transplanting and setting correct permissions to all of the HTC apps that seem to be required for HTC sense to function into the CM6 rom and it's a failure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Short answer: it sounds like you are someone who likes Sense better, I would focus on finding a way to hack a Sense rom into working the way you want it, instead of getting sense to work on CM. It is a matter of hacking one thing instead of a whole system.

Long: CyanogenMod is an open-source, community developed project. It is taking the open source portion of Android (Android Open Source Project - AOSP) and modifying it for several reasons, that appeal more to power users. Other than the speed benefits, most of the reasons to use CM are greater configuration and additional utilities, not ease of use or looks. Then the closed-source (proprietary) Google Apps are added to the open source layer.

Sense is HTC's "special sauce" to get customers to buy their Android and WinMo phones instead of a competitors. I don't know much about how it works on WinMo, but on Android it adds an additional framework layer.

Applications you download from the market use the standard Android framework. That is why some applications only work on 1.6 and up or 2.0 and up, the older Android framework just didn't have the features used in the application. Most of the Sense components, such as the launcher, widgets, dialer, etc. use the Sense framework, which is why you can't just swap them into CyanogenMod.

The reason you won't see CyanogenMod officially support Sense widgets is two-fold. One is that Cyanogen simply doesn't like the look and feel of Sense. People tend to prefer either Sense or the AOSP look and feel. Additionally (perhaps more importantly) Sense is proprietary software with closed source. By using this framework HTC not only can add extra features (for instance, the stock Android framework doesn't support scrollable widgets) but it also lets them lock customers into their products. If Sense was open then Motorola and LG and Samsung would be able to use it on their Android phones, and it wouldn't give HTC a competitive advantage. This is why Motorola now has Blur, Samsung has TouchWiz, etc.

Is it really IMPOSSIBLE? Probably not. Of course if someone stole the code from HTC they could implement it, but with Java it is also possible to do some level of reversing compiled code to get close to the source code. You can find information on Smali/Baksmali here at XDA, which will do some of that. I don't know much about how it works or what all it can do, but when I was messing more with theming/ROM making I did try it out.

However in the end, it comes down to the fact that no one who has the skills to port sense out (which might not be possible, and will probably only work for existing widgets, not newer ones) has the time or desire to do it. If you like Sense, get a phone that supports it and do whatever modifications to Sense you need to. If they like AOSP, then instead of trying to merge AOSP code into Sense keeping 4G and HDMI support, they start with an AOSP rom, and we have slowly added back the functionality that the stock rom has.

The n1 was more of an experimental device. That's why they never got it. The samsung galaxy is a bit different.
[Epic 4G General] ForrelZ:
Well if they decided not to sale it then it would never be on sale, now if they decided not to sell it Samsung would sue the pants off Sprint for ordering all those units and never marketing them.

PS: Just a typo joke, they're obligated to sell it not to mention it would be the dumbest move in the history of Sprint if they just dropped the phone for no reason.
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
exactly, if i remember correctly after announcing the EVO, Sprint just pretty much said whats the point? they believe the EVO is a better phone than the N1, which i agree in some ways but disagree in others lol. I would've loved a Nexus One on sprint. :D
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yeah..sprint has always been poor at letting people "choose"..they didn't want the TP2 to conflict with Pre sales so they delayed TP2..they didn't want the N1 to conflict with EVO sales so they got rid of the N1...as much as I like sprint..this makes me a sad panda :(...Can't they let the consumer decide what they want?...its not like they make more money on selling a Pre over selling a TP2 anyways (aside from the legacy plan thing)....or maybe they thought if they released the N1, they wouldn't have an excuse to charge the $10 fee :/
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Me too, would have loved N1 on Sprint. Don't care for 4G nor the $10 tax. Faster updates from Google, no bloat like Sense, 3.7" is perfect size in hand...I find the Evo a bit too big sometimes. Epic 4G might just be it for me instead.
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
I just wanted it over the evolution because I prefer vanilla android over sense. Always hated it but now that cm6 is available for the EVO I guess I'm good :)

no, i do not even know what a gold card is. as i stated, recovery isn't working, the phone is stuck at the 'rainbow' boot screen. it doesn't respond to adb when connected to my computer.

maybe i need to read some jtag stuff.. ?
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
No, I think it's enough to build a goldcard. There should be a thread in this forum explaining the process more deeply. But be careful. Read first. Every rooting process may brick your phone.

Hi, I've been using VillainROM 12 for a couple of weeks now, and recently flashed cronos froyo and saw that the lockscreen pattern had the background of my home screen.

Is there any way to port this feature to VillainROM 12 as I have reverted back to it now.

Thanks, Andy

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
just had a quick look at the htclockscreen.apk from Villain12 but coudn't find any images which think could be for the background of the lock pattern screen. I thought it would be as simple as swapping it out with a transparent image.

however there is an xml called htc_keyguard_screen_lock.xml .

compare the one from cronos to the villain one with notepad++ (my lappy is in for repair, no notepad++ on this one sorry),... or compare the whole apk even.

..... Or beg someone to have a go,.... It cant be that much of a big job.

.... EDIT.... Or nandroid backup, then try just using the htclockscreen.apk from cronos on the villain ROM.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Yeah, so take it from the zip file that you would flash through the recovery.

the apk will be in system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
Thanks. I started making some progress, swapping some .apk files between the two ROMs but the went to cronos and did not find 'htclockscreen.apk' it is a vanillaROM so there probably isn't an htc app in it. Do you know what the .apk would be on a vanillaROM?

Thanks, Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Oh sh#t,.... How did I miss you were talking about CronosFroyo?... I'm sorry.

Ok, so its not as easy as swapping out the apks. Hmmmm,.... I'll try to have a look when I get home for you.

It might be a no go though.

Get onto the Villain site and ask them in the chat thing.....
