[Captivate Android Development] MrxBurrito:
Hi, I'm a noob with all this android device rooting and everything related to it. (I'm an everyday linux user though... that's helping) your post and your upload helped me a lot getting my device rooted in seconds. Thanks, I'll be following your thread for everything else you add.
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
So I tried this out even though I was already rooted and the boot animations were still there and sideloading did not work.
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Just a note here. Not sure why, but installing this and then installing 2.0 of the ext2 lagfix severely messed up my phone. I wouldn't suggest using this and then trying the EXT2 2.0 fix quite yet.
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
I never stated that this enabled sideloading. The static at&t image will remain but the boot animation with 3g bars and such will be removed/replaced with a stock samsung galaxy boot animation.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm well I'm not sure what exactly in this could screw up that fix... I'd be curious to see if any of the other captivate users who had failures were using this.

On the attempt that fried your phone had you previously reverted from the 1.0 fix before attempting 2.0? Or was it a clean firmware?
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Clean firmware. Oh, and I should add it was JH2. So, JH2 + Bugless + Apps loaded + Lag Fix (ext2) 2.0 = Revert back to JH2 + Bugless.

Not a big deal. Just doesn't work. And deletes all of your apps. Hopefully everyone has Titanium backups! :P
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah I'm kind of wondering if maybe the 2.0 lagfix doesn't have some issues with moving apps... considering the most recent addition was moving the /apps folder onto the virtual EXT2 file. It kinda makes sense, though it's his baby, I'm not going to dig through that more than I have to!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I honestly don't see the need for any lag fixes on JH2. It seriously feels smooth as butter to me. Running Unleash + JH2 + sideloading + unrestricted market = I'm more than content to wait for a full, stable ROM of BuglessBeast or CM6
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Sorry I thought it sideloaded but then saw in your description it didn't.

After a few restarts the ATT bars went away.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay, just ran removelagfix.sh

Now I am about to put in JH2 and UTB (Unleash the Beast)

Cross your fingers...
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
When I did removelagfix.sh, I noticed that certain settings got reverted back to stock:

System volume turned back on

Vibrate turned back on

I am curious if some things aren't copied and are thus reverted back to the default when they can't be read by the OS...

No biggie...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Just a note: I ran this on a clean JH2 install and then did Lagfix2.0 without any issues, so that kinda hints that the problems aren't due to this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Done...

Now for Titanium Backup restore so I can put all my junk back on.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Done, now the only defect I see thus far is:

- System Volume seems to be completely disabled, which means no Voice directions on Google Nav.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Using wireless tether to post right now.

All I can say is: Awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] halfhp:
Strange, when I ran the tether app, it just crashed as soon as I enabled tethering. I even tried upgrading to the latest dev build, which no longer crashes, but neither does it work. Is anybody else successfully using the tethering app?
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Any request while I'm working on this?
[Captivate Android Development] THATTON:
Make it faster than my Nexus One so that I can finally use my Captivate... ;) No, seriously though- include an overclocked kernel that can be ran in Ondemand that doesn't sleep infinitely while the screen is off. Currently, the Captivate has to be ran in Conservative mode which is slower than my grandmother's Hoveround! That is all I can think of right now but I am pretty sure I can think of more. Can you incorporate the calibration hack from over in the N1 threads maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Does all this still work with the JH2 firmware?

Edit: Yes, yes it does, also thanks for the sideloading its a nice addition
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Just posted V0.2, sideloading and more added :)
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
Wow. Thanks so much! This is a great tool.

The only thing I miss is the My Files app (I prefer it over Astro). And it'd be nice if you could choose which things you wanted, but oh well.

The boot animation/Boot noise/Turn off noise don't really need to be removed (I like the noises..), but it works.
[Captivate Android Development] acandia007:
Is this the same as the elitesuperrooter thread? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Seeing as how my tool was posted many hours earlier I am not sure what the confusion is about. Also I found how to remove the AT&T bootanimation and created a script to enable sideloading. If some parts of this tool end up elsewhere that is fine. Its all to better your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
Would you consider releasing these individually? For instance I have almost all this done already but want

* Will root your Samsung Captivate <--- if this includes SU 2.3.1

* Can enable side loading

* Blocks Advertisements in Apps & Browser

* Removes the AT&T Boot Animation (credit to me!)

I am sure I could get most this done looking around here but I am a noob to Android and this would help me out a lot.

"Unleash the Beast! Minotaur!"
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
If most is already done you can still run it with no ill effect.
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
I have a question. Every time I open the Wireless Tether app, it force closes. Then..whenever I do get it to stay open..everytime I hit the "Touch here to tether" symbol it force closes....

Also, I ran the AT&T Market unrestrictor thing that comes with this...Does that enable sideloading?

I downloaded a .apk and sent it to my phone via Bluetooth, and used appInstaller through the Market. It shows up, but everytime I hit to install the app, it says the security restriction that I can't install apps not from the Market.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Sorry..I didn't read all your OP, and didn't catch that sideloading bit.
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Just tested it to verify and it works on my Moms captivate. Try clearing the apps data via menu > settings > applications > manage applications > wireless tether.
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
Nope..still doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
That is very odd, I am tethering now....

Clear your dalvik cache maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I've been tethering quite a bit since I first installed yesterday...
[Captivate Android Development] Droopie28:
EDIT:

Figured out how to use things so Its not needed, sorry, and thanks for the great work!!!
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
No problem :D
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
This is TOO COOL... works like a charm..... thank you so much.

I updated to the latest ROM and loaded the update.zip and bang couldn't be happier with the Unleash the Beast procedures.

GREAT WORK.
[Captivate Android Development] rabbivj:
i added the unleashthebeat root pkg after i upgraded to jh2 and the wireless tether keeps FCing...any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] alme1304:
Just to make sure...the file. Goes in the root folder once it's connected ?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Uninstall it and then reinstall it. of course u will have to emulate your sime with the t moble au sim...
[Captivate Android Development] DRamer77:
ok i have a bone stock captivate.. and im researching into modding it now and thinking of doing this... im new to the whole android thing and trying to figure out the best way to go about all this.. and whats the best mods to do right now...
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
beautiful work *applause* :D
[Captivate Android Development] bigfan2232:
Sideloading

I am trying to enable sideloading using Android Terminal Emulator. I type "su" then "sideloading" and I'm getting a message that says not found. I am probably missing a step but any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
whats the code for ATTs market?
[Captivate Android Development] MrxBurrito:
Can I update to V.02 if i have V.01 installed already? Do i need to uninstall v.01? If so, how will i go about that?
[Captivate Android Development] rbrown13:
I know this is a noob question but Clockworkmod recovery wont let the unleashthebeast update.zip install what can I do, please help.
[Captivate Android Development] opensourcefan:
DRamer when you just getting into a scene like this one where your hacking and modding a device it's best that you read as much as you can from all over. There are also a bunch of YT videos of people using the tools available so you can see how they work. In theory you need to study study study, it's in your best interest so you don't break anything.

The best mods to do right now are most of the ones in this package. Go to the first post and look at it step by step. This one isn't that tough, you'll pick it up quickly I'm sure.
[Captivate Android Development] benclayton:
Just a heads up, it looks like FlipFonts no longer work after applying this mod. Big bummer.
[Captivate Android Development] jschiefer:
can i use this to enable sideloading on the captivate without using the rest of the tools on unleash the beast.

i dont need to remove all the branding right now. Just want a real quick way to enable sideloading.

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] captivatedroid:
Wireless Tether does not show up in my Applications

Wireless Tether does not show up in my application list. I initially ran the root update from your first captivate post. Then I sideloaded the wireless tether app with the Sideload wonder machine - and it worked. Now the updated wireless tether app in unleash v0.2 crashes when I click the wifi. You mentioned deleting the dalvik cache, but I'm unclear how to do that.

Overall my phone feels so much faster with UnleashV0.2 Thanks for your work on this. I will be clicking the paypal donate link on your website. Great work.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
When in the applications list, hit your menu button. You need to change the filter to "all"

That being said, I cleared the data on mine and still no tethering. If I clear the data it will crash immediately after launching. Every consecutive time after that it will load but FCs after hitting the "Tether" button. Not sure what is wrong here but I am experimenting with the settings. If someone figures this out or thinks of a variable that could be causing the issue, clue us in.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Anyone figure out how to get system volume back after this? Or is it just me :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
I just looked and my system volume appears normal. Seems to function without issue. Slider works and volume changes.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Thanks. I had the slider but it had no sound. Did a HR and redid the package and it works now. Guess it just didnt go through for me the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Does this work with the new rom (I897UCJF6)?
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Sorry I897UCJH2 is the new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
Sooo... Turns out that there maybe something wrong with the Wireless Tether in this package.

1. I installed the ULB package, gave permissions, and installed sideloader.

2. Tried Wireless Tether but gave continuos Force Closes.

3. Wiped app data. Still Force Close.

4. Reinstalled ULB package. Still get Force Close.

5. Complete uninstall of Wireless Tether.

6. Download same version from developer site and install.

7. New installation shows SU prompt and Dev Donation Dialog. Fully operational.

Worked first try and I am now sending this message via Wireless Tether with 1849.8kB/299.2kB.

Not sure what complications were involved here but prior to ULB install I was already rooted. I can't find any problems with the other applications installed so far.

This appears to be a nice bundle. I will try it for the next day or so and see if I can get some more errors out of it. If I can provide any info that would help you look into this then let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Did you have it installed previously? I think the error is caused by old data files from the previous version of Wireless Tether remaining in the system.
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
That was my absolute first attempt at installing/trying any tethering apps for this device. I have rooted and installed a few things (SU, Astro, Titanium) but nothing network related.

EDIT: Before installing the new one from the dev site I did NOT remove the install files from the ULB pack. It still works to my surprise as this was not recommended. It is suggested to remove the install files from previous versions if your upgrading. Technically though, this is not a previous version, but the same. I just got it from a different place.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Have to say, great package! Just flashed my phone back to stock from the i9000 eclair, and this got me back on track. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Hi, another noob here, this looks like an amazing package. I got my Captivate less than 3 weeks ago and I've been trolling this forum and the Android forum. I came accross it on AT&T Samsung forum, lol. I rooted a few days ago and I would love to flash with UTB VO.2. This is gonna be one of those stupid noob questions but what does the term flash mean exactly? If it doesn't work for me how can I revert to stock Captivate, rooted or unrooted? It takes a short time so I don't mind doing the root process again. Also, I have the donated version of Titanium so I am backed up so I am not worried about loosing everything. I wiped the phone clean yesterday and used Titanium to restore everything. What changes does this make to the actual device, does it change the ROM? I haven't attemped that yet. I am not scared to screw up, I have a back up phone and I got this one so that I could be a geek and screw with it, eventually, I can find a fix, you guys are awsome for that stuff. I hope to be able to contribute one day. I will click on your page to donate if I use this, I feel it only fair because I wanted to do all of this eventually anyway and this is certainly a one stop shop tool. Also I use an app called Web Sharing so I don't need to bother with USB connections and I can directly put all update.zip files directly into my sd card (internal), that is what I used to root the phone, so it should work in this instance too.

Thanks I can't wait to try this. I just need to know how to revert to stock before feeling comfortable doing this. Thanks in advance.

note: are there any prerquisits to doing this process, again, I am using the Eclair build 2.1 update 1 and Kernel version 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2
[Captivate Android Development] JakeH:
So if i flashed the JH2 rom then did this everything would be good?

Also what about the lagfix

Im new to all this please help
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
It's a success

Thanks Pete,

I took the plung, just flash with Unleash The Beast. AT&T Crapware is gone! Not planning on tethering just yet, I am on my home wifi and I don't have unlimited data plan, can't get it anymore. I will try the other features. Hitting your donate page now.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Thanks! Glad you liked it. More to come :)
[Captivate Android Development] benclayton:
Any idea why custom fonts won't work with this mod?
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
How do you apply custom fonts on this phone? With the droid we just replace the font files. If thats the case then it will work perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] MustLoveDogs:
Hi, Android noob here... How did you do a complete uninstall of wireless tether? Can't seem to do it through the settings -> manage applications route.
[Captivate Android Development] benclayton:
It seems to be using an APK for a FlipFont, where are the font files located that I'd be able to replace manually?
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
I used "titanium backup" to do this. Make sure titanium backup is granted super user rights. Then access the applications through titanium and run the uninstaller.

I would be a bit more detailed but I just got back from friday night "fun" and the only thing keeping my text legible is swype.
[Captivate Android Development] MustLoveDogs:
:D

Very understandable. This sounds easy enough. Off to do it! TY!

MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Worked a charm! Currently using tether. Shovelhead you rule!!

My steps:

Titanium Backup -> Uninstall Wireless Tether

Desktop computer, open: link removed due to new user status

Google "Wireless Tether" -> first result -> Downloads -> wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk

Scan barcode with Barcode Scanner (ZXing Team), download on default browser and install

Wireless Tether now working and tether started without any Force Closes like before! :)
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Yea swype is great after friday fun day... Makes texting while intoxicated (twi) a breeze- I'm lit up myself... one more reason to love this phone. But yes titanium is the shiznit, use it, and donate too, its def. Worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Good Job! This community is starting to thrive!
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Is flip font like a setting within the phone? I havn't used the phone long enough to know lol
[Captivate Android Development] Shovelhead84:
It's the next day and I'm typing like a champ, manually. What you described above was basically the exact process I went through. Glad it worked out. Did you get dialog boxes this time on the first launch that were not there with the ULB installation?

BUGLESS, maybe your could try to repackage the ULB with a new copy of the Wireless Tether app for future installations/testing? Seems odd as some people reported no issues with Wireless Tether but other seem to have the same FC issue.
[Captivate Android Development] MustLoveDogs:
Yeah I did when I installed the Wireless Tether, a few I think, one about Super User and some other stuff I don't remember. I agree, I would think something went wrong with the app installation during ULB installation.

I've only researched this a bit but I can't get infrastructure/AP mode working on Tether. Will keep trying and report back later. It's most probably the support for Galaxy AP mode is not there yet.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
Just want to say thanks. No problems getting it running.
[Captivate Android Development] lord_drachenblut:
For anyone having problems with this not working fulky as expected try running fix permissions from inside rom manager

Tried it myself and wireless tethet works and the att apps are gone

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] insuusvenerati:
Will this work on the T Mobile Vibrant?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
quick question. If I root my phone with this method, can I un root it using the one click root/ un root method? or just use clockwork recov to flash the stock rom?
[Captivate Android Development] lockheedload:
I tried this but my phone is frozen at Start Tethering. Totally frozen, gotta take out the battery. I really wanted tethering to work :(
[Captivate Android Development] lord_drachenblut:
If you have rom manager instakked try a fix permissions and then reboot. Seens to help
[Captivate Android Development] lockheedload:
Thanks so much for this. It works now!
[Captivate Android Development] yzlvr:
How do I sideload wireless tethering's newest release after I delete it with titanium backup?

After I ran this update.zip tethering app will not work, it will only force close...

Just found it...
[Captivate Android Development] Int0x:
Love this, looking forward to more updates.
[Captivate Android Development] Shuggins:
Thanks

Works perfect! Thanks for this!
[Captivate Android Development] li1on:
worked like a charm! If only you could implement a Lag Fix....
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Beware, if you have the newest root of super user and use this, your phone will get messed up.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Been running this now for 4-5 days, trouble-free.

Just donated.

Keep up the great work.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Everything works great except the wireless tether app force closes on me. Could this be due to the Tayutama one click lag fix?
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I get the fc on the tether app
[Captivate Android Development] Sti ftw:
Great to see ya put down the Droid lol. I ran your BB on my droid when i had it and it was great. Hope too see a Lag Fix in the next version. Keep up the great work
[Captivate Android Development] jgo564:
Anyway to get at&t nav back on or know where I can get that apk? Thought that I would have just been able to download it back from the market after it removed it, but I can't find it in there.
[Captivate Android Development] mchimney:
New to the forums and to android but i got the wireless tether to work on two captivates now, so i'll share my strategy.

First i went to google and searched wireless tether and was presented with the APK barcode.

(sorry i tried to post link to help but i can't due to new user)

I scanned that code into my phone and installed it ontop of the existing wireless tether. This then stopped the force closing, but i got some error saying it couldn't start or something.

Then i opened the wireless tether app, clicked the menu buttons then clicked settings. Then in settings i clicked the menu button again and hit reinstall bins.

After that it worked for me on two devices

Hope this helps some of you
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
YES! This worked for me as well. Thank you so much!!!
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Hello, just joined to say thanks for this Unleash the Beast, worked perfectly for my Captivate. Just one thing, is there a way to get the start up sound back? and the shutdown. I want them :p
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Care to explain this one? Do you mean Superuser Permission? Or something totally diff?
[Captivate Android Development] Carver1:
I've got a serious noob question.. When 2.2 rolls out for the captivate would you update it like you would if you were unrooted?
[Captivate Android Development] arsinic:
thanks!! your tip helped to get the wireless tethering working!
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Worked for me as well. Did those exact steps, and tested it by watching an episode of Futurama on my iPad through my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Pete,

Can you add the following fix for JH2 in your next build:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7650658&postcount=312

This turns off the GPS logging, which can grow quickly.

It seems JH2 is a debugging rom.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
I think I may have found a small issue. The phone will not save where I move the System Sounds volume to. After a reboot or turning vibrate on and off it resets to the loudest setting.
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Hi:

Did you ever find the answer to this question?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Carver1:
So now that my phone is rooted with Unleash The Beast V0.2.. what else can I do? Can I add anything in particular to make it faster at all?
