[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkoo81:
Hi,

I was trying to get cyongen browser into my [Build]Android 2.2 Build FRG33 [ mccm v1.5a andriod built. To get that I copied the browser.apk from the cyongen to my this builts browser.apk in the system/app folder. I was able to over-write the file, but now browser icon disappered.

Following I have tried:

- Install the cyanogen browser using astro --> it installs but when i launch i get process com.android.browser error.

- I copied the original file before over-writing but when I try to install it using astro it gives me error.

Can some help me with this issue. I do not want to reinstall everything. Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
this isnt really development related and should be posted in the android general section.

Do you have ABD setup? Or droid explorer?

If you have ADB setup, drop the browser.apk into your working tools folder then shift+right click on the tools folder, select open command prompt here and type the following (assuming your on windblows)

adb shell mount -o remount rw /system

adb push exactname.apk /system/app

adb shell reboot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkoo81:
Sorry for posting it to wrong section. I do not have ADB. I tried droid explorer but it did not work for my HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
what do you mean by it didnt work for you? Did it give an error?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkoo81:
I have windows 7 and I cannot install it. There seems to be some issue with droid explorer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
alright, I dont use droid explorer myself so not real sure..but all it does is gives you an interface for adb. Are you on windows 32 or 64 bit?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinkoo81:
I am on Windows 64 bit. I got the old version working but When i connect my HD2 (in android), it does not recognize any devices. Thanks for helping.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
Assuming your on windows 32 bit

go to this location

C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK

you should have a tools folder in the SDK folder?

If so, drop your apk into it and go back to the SDK directory. Then hold ****, and right click on the tools folder, open command prompt window here When it opens type in

adb devices

If that lists a number your good to go

type in

adb shell mount -o remount rw /system

adb push exactname.apk /system/app

adb shell reboot

EDIT : you posted as I was lol, Droid Explorer installs the same so the above commands should work.
[Android Software Development] kevin5fan:
I followed lots of tutorials on xda, the problems seems always to be at the installing driver part, it says found new hardware

there's 2 options

1)installing automatically or browse

I chose Browse as one of the Guides i saw said.

When i press nexted, it gave me 2 options

Search For Driver Or Don't Search, just browse

Some guy told me not to search, so i didn't, when i went to the Browse Hardware Part, there was a list full of stuff like Computer,DishDrive,Mouse,Keyboard all that stuff, this is the part idk what to do. please help!

Thank you!

I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2
[Captivate General] Adaptive13:
I went ahead and upgraded to Cognition 2.2-Beta3. The system is screaming (Quadrant score of 1950) and so far pretty much everything is working well.

The only issue that I have so far is that the zoom does not zeem to be working on the camera. When I click the volume Up/Down keys, the camera software shows the zoom level being adjusted, but the camera itself does not zoom.

Has anyone else seen this? Any fixes?
[Captivate General] gwaki:
Just checked and zoom works just fine for me.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
The DX bootloader situation sucks... Hope this brightens up someones day...

This was tested on a Motorola Droid X Froyo 2.2(OTA) Rooted

Requirements:

Root(just kidding)

Stock 3G Mobile Hotspot Application

EasySwitch(Trial) by SmartDyne(Download from Market)

1. Download and Setup EasySwitch Widget

2. Fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot and wait for it to fully connect up (30 seconds?)

- If this is your first time running through this, open up your browser and go somewhere. You should get the Verizon Self Provisioning page... If not, you're wasting your money.

3. Now use EasySwitch to cycle the Radio *Off* then back *On* (Top row, 4th from the left... you must do this every time after you fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot)

Voila...

I know this process could be refined some... Who wants to help? #Free4All <- That was an invitation for dialog.

setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)

Update 10/9/10 2:55pm PST:

Who has root and more than 5 wireless devices? I only have 4...

/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf

max_num_sta = 5 <-- increase this number.

Someone test this...
[Droid X General] Gimpeh:
Was Easywidget one of the stock widgets? This may have been some of the bloat I removed.
[Droid X General] Gimpeh:
Was that in the buildprop? If so we can just edit it and be done with the process.
[Droid X General] snwagner:
Probably could set up tasker to do something like this
[Droid X General] lu270bro:
or just root the phone and download Wireless Tether for Root Users and be done with it.
[Droid X General] Gimpeh:
The difference is you get to utilize Infrastructor mode.
[Droid X General] drewden123:
No. Please don't come in a thread acting as if you know everything and have some simple fix with a smart alec response. Wireless Tether is ad-hoc mode, as is Barnacle. This method is access point instead, which some people need specifically as opposed to ad-hoc.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
No, not a build.prop thing, it's an application programming thing... Long story short, 3G Mobile Hotspot switches your phone's data connection from "TYPE_MOBILE" to "TYPE_MOBILE_DUN", which shuts down you your data connection unless you you are subscribed to the 3G Mobile Hotspot service. Cycling 3G off/on in EasySwitch switches your data connection back to TYPE_MOBILE, while keeping 3G Mobile Hotspot open.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
TY... Not to mention 2.2 OTA broke security on both of those apps and made them really flaky... 3GMH has WPA2 and so far seems pretty stable...
[Droid X General] Darkness_Invade:
I turn off and on my 3G and it shuts down my hot spot.
[Droid X General] snwagner:
Wow! Seems like de-railing happens alot around here lately. LOL, so anyway, anyone up for trying to make a tasker profile for this?
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Sound like you might have cycled wifi instead. I was however incorrect in saying to toggle 3G, when what I really meant was to toggle *Cell Service* which is 4th from the left on the top row in EasySwitch. If it's still trippin, let me know what mods and such that you're running. I just figured this out earlier today so i don't know all the permutation of why it might *not* work. TY for the feedback.
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
3G is actually the Up & Down Arrows on Easy Switch. The Cell tower is just your basic cell service (non 3G), although it IS the one you must toggle.

Just wanted to clear that up.

This works GREAT by the way, thank you very much for posting!
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Thanks for clarifying that. Changed the OP so people don't get confused. Guess I should have known that, but I'm new Android and Phone modding in general so some of the basic things slip by me..

Glad you found this useful. Your feedback is much appreciated!
[Droid X General] AnomynousPierson:
Awesome, but is there any way to do this without EasySwitch?

e.g. adb? terminal emulator?

I just don't care much for payware, let alone crippleware. :/
[Droid X General] newtsevo:
I tried this at work ( vzw hahaha) on my phone the way you stated and also tried with another coworkers x. His browser redirected him to vzw provisioning page as described, mine did not since I used the method described. However I was still able to connect another phone to both mine and a coworkers phone. Makes me worry about being charged the overage rate. Any ideas?

*update*

When connected to an x, fascinate redirected to vzw provisioning page. So this does work. Question is, will my bill sky rocket Haha. Gonna investigate further.
[Droid X General] dr154:
if thats the case, why dont we just edit the apk with this option always on and re-sign it again?
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
ATM, I'm have not tested any other apps that are free that can provide the needed functionality. The other apps I saw on the market seemed to just switch between 2G/3G, and not actually cycle the data connection off and on. Flight mode cycles wifi too, so that's a no go. ADB/Terminal... I tried other methods for doing this, pppd up/pppd down... no go..

Again, this works because of VZ tries to switch our data connection from "mobile", to "mobile_dun", to try and ferry us down their pay pipe... Cycling cell service switches us back to a "mobile" connection while keeping the 3G Mobile Hotspot running.

This is a Work In Progress... I believe that a widget could be made to automatically catch when the data connection gets switched over, and hijack it back. I have good idea of API calls in Dalvik necessary to make this happen, but it's been about 10 years since I really got down on programming anything, and my thing was web interfaces with PERL, never really got into Java. I am interested in Android Developement, so I'm currently tinkering with putting this widget together, but I currently don't have the know-how to put it all together. So EasySwitch is kind of my Proof-of-Concept tool.

I feel you, though. EasySwitch is just the current work around. Does the job, though...
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
This should more or less be equivalent to Barnacle/Wireless Tether. They all just use your "mobile" data connection.

I believe this to be actually more covert than the "Free 3G Mobile Hotspot for Incredible" method, which actually uses VZ's "mobile_dun" pay pipe, and uses the customers "phone_number@vzw3g.com" to authenticate.

So, your bill should not skyrocket.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
This was another one of the possibilities I had in mind. I don't really understand how to Decompile .APK's. Do you know how to do this? If it is possible to modify the APK, I would actually just bypass the connection switching routine all together, and just move on to starting up the wifi side of things.

<edit>

If you know more about possibly making this work in this way, which actually would be the cleanest method possible, I'd appreciate any kind of help.

</edit>

^^^ This would run into C&D issues, huh? Back to - mobile()
[Droid X General] Darkness_Invade:
Working for me now, toggling radio off and on with hot spot running :)
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Good deal!!! Sorry for the confusion...
[Droid X General] Darkness_Invade:
That's ok, lol, all in good testing! :D
[Droid X General] dr154:
The process if fairly easy, just have to open the apk in winrar or another file archiver, edit the correct files, delete the META folder and sign the apk back from my understanding.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Well, I kind of tried that. Didn't find what I was looking for... I'm not deodexed, though. So maybe that's why... I haven't really delved into Deodexing/Theming yet... From what I've read, it doesn't bring it back Java code, but Dalvik Bytecode, or something like that. Too much for me try and learn right now, so I went the route of finding a way to hijack the connection back after the fact...

A hacked .APK, with the connection switching bypassed would be an ideal situation. <-----*edit: I no longer endorse this idea*

Anybody think they can do it?

*correction*

I guess smali/baksmali make things somewhat more understandable/similar to java...

*later discovery*

This would probably run into C&D issues... As well having to deodex, diassemble, edit, reassemble, reodex, zip, then resign for each and every different phone that is out there, when setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) is all Android...
[Droid X General] jcollier:
I'm so glad to have stumbled across this. I need the infrastructure mode to tether my eye-fi (no pro) card to shutter snitch running on my iPad. Can't wait to get off and give it a try!

Ok so I just tried this using my X and iPad. First time I get the VZW page as I should. I then click the antenna button (1st row, 4th icon). Now anytime I try to load a page I get that there is no internet connection. I am running the 2.4.0 R2D2 build.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Hrmm... Try this...

1. Reboot

2. Cycle Radio off/on without firing up 3G Mobile Hotspot

3. Try using you android browser

Does it break your connection? If so, it may be that EasySwitch doesn't work properly under the 2.4.0 build... Just a wild uninformed guess at this point. Let me know the results.
[Droid X General] :
You have to click the antenna button... and then click it again. You need to cycle it off and then on again. Otherwise there's no data connection on the phone.

Worked perfectly for me.
[Droid X General] jcollier:
I obviously don't read very well :)

I didn't cycle the connection, I just left the cell service off. Then I had an "ah ha!" moment and realized there was no way it was going to just magically connect.

I just cycled the service like your post said, and it works fantastic. Thanks for this, and sorry for being an idiot!
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Wonderful!!! Hope it work out in conjunction with the eye-fi!
[Droid X General] jcollier:
I'll post up as soon as I check it out. It'll be nice to not have to shell out $150+ to get a pro card. :p
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
And that's why they call me FreeWELL!!!!
[Droid X General] jcollier:
Droid X + this hack + Canon DSLR + iPad + Shuttersnitch = FTW!!!! :)
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
Just set up on my wifes x, doesn't have to be rooted. Awesome
[Droid X General] smitth6750:
Works flawlessly great work
[Droid X General] sonofskywalker3:
Just confirmed this does not work on Samsung Fascinate. Still redirects the browser to the self provisioning site. oh well.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
So this works incredibly well. My Ps3 recognized the connection immediately! My question is will I be billed the 30 bucks now for the 3g hotspot. Will vzw be able to see we are using this feature and bill us for it?
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Also is there anyway to get UPnP to work, I was going to try out tversity to stream Hulu to the 46 incher in the livingroom but it says upnp not available?? Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] jcollier:
tekahuna I have a way to simplify the process using Tasker.

On an empty part of the screen:

1. New widget -> Task

2. Click New and give it a name ( I used 3G Hotspot)

3. Press the plus sign, choose app, the load app, and choose 3G mobile hotspot in menu; click done

4. Plus sign, tasker, wait, and drag the slider to 20 seconds; scroll down and click done

5. Plus sign, phone, radio, set to off; click done

6. Plus sign, tasker, wait, and set to 3 seconds; scroll down and click done

7. Plus sign, phone, radio, set to on; click done

8. Click the blue question mark towards the bottom right and choose an icon. I chose application icon, and then just used the default 3G mobile hotspot icon

9. Click Make Widget.

I tested this a few times and it worked flawlessly for me. If anyone else has any tasker experience and can simplify the workflow, please let me know.
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Thanks for the feedback, I know you reflashed to test this. There may be other ways of making this possible... When I get some time, I'll put together my discovery for the DX. Might help with sorting out how to get AP on the Fascinate. Wish I had one to test with...

Judging by p3droid's post here and over at mydroidworld, it looks like we may have a better solution shortly. :)
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
He make like he discovered the ****.

And he has a charge app for it.

That is super boosie if you ask me.

A post in my thread would have been the thing to do before moving forward with this...

Is P3Droid on XDA?

TBH has provided us a way to run a nvram parch which works without toggling service and had also offered us a unpatcher zip so id like to say hats off to u and TBH. Without dedicated dev the android community would be worthless. I applaud all the effort on both parties.
[Droid X General] cellzealot:
The TBH hack is based on years old knowledge that dates back to when VZW implemented their current method of differentiating between a normal data connection and a tethered data connection.

I first did this hack on my Motorola e815, obviously using different methods, but the principle is the same.

All we have done is update the methods to current generation phones and access tools and packaged it in a new way that was never available to us until now.
[Droid X General] hoola20055:
Thanks to everyone. My DX is now all I wanted. On a side note. Noone makes people buy the TBH app. I personally was MORE than happy to purchase it. I like having what's new and hot all in one package. And that alone is worth it. I wouldn't care if it was just an app with links to the latest hacks and discoveries for the phone. It takes a lot of leg work to surf dozens of forums to keep up to date. back on topic.

INFRASTRUCTURE IS AWESOME!!!!
[Droid X General] snwagner:
Ok... back on topic... anyone wanna leak this out of tbh app? Lol

Not that I need it, I, too, purchased the app.
[Droid X General] cellzealot:
You folks realize that everything that is released on the TBH app is posted on MyDroidWorld 2 days later right?

It's just a premium we provide for supporters of the app, so they get it first.

This will be publicly posted and the methods and background information will be posted separately. This way, anyone can do the hack and understand the theory behind it, whether you are rooted or not, if you are willing to take the time to find the software tools required and manage the manual procedures to complete the hack properly.

All of the information and tools to do this are in the public domain already.

We just put it all together in an update.zip format as a Proof of Concept that it could be done in this manner. The only reason root is required is to run an unsigned update.zip from the Koush bootstrap recovery. The underlying principles of the hack have nothing to do with root and are edits to the NVM, which sets the parameters for the radio.

Wait a few days and it will all be made clear...otherwise download it from TBH and enjoy! ;)
[Droid X General] snwagner:
And quit whining! Puhhhlease!!!!!
[Droid X General] :
Thank you. This is awesome.
[Droid X General] MotoCache1:
With your obvious mastery of conflict resolution techniques, it is no wonder you've been so successful in your career. What puzzles me however is how someone possessed of your technical superiority can't comprehend a file that updates 4 SEEMs. I mean really. The update.zip file isn't for people with your keen skills -- it is for the unwashed masses. People like you should open the update.zip, look at the 4 motorola.update_nv lines, scoff, fire up RadioComm, make the 4 NV/SEEM updates manually (with no Koush recovery, root, etc. needed -- so your phone can remain all virginal and such), and away you go.

I'm sure you've already figured all this out and are carrying on as you are for some other non-technical purpose -- like perhaps a theatrical audition for a local play or something. Assuming that is the case, well done sir.
[Droid X General] Venc:
Nice find, the only problem I see is that EasySwitch trial is only for a week, so after that it won't work. If someone can create a widget that does the Radio switch for free it would be great.

I'll check back in a month or so, let us know if you get charged.

Thanks!! :)

[Droid X General] !!CANDROID!!:
So has anybody seen a charge on their bill since this hack as been Implemented? Also has anybody went to speedtest.net and compared the upload/download speeds vs wireless tether?

If I don't see a response with in a few days, I will try this my self. I just want to make sure that VZW won't charge me their outragous tethering fee!!!!

Thanks for posting this awesomeness!!!!!!!!! :eek::p:D;)

I can't get this to work. I am on the firsted 2.2 leak. rooted droid x.

I have easy switch and mobile hot spot.

When I enable hotspot it connects, then open browser and get the vzw page to confirm it's connected.

Then I toggle easy switch "the radio icon" off and then back on. 3g hot spot says 3g link has been disconnected. Open my browser and go to google no prob. I also set up a password when first opening 3g hot spot app? Am I doing something wrong here or what?

Can someone explain the dif between adhoc and AP?
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Ad-Hoc is computer to computer mode. IE, if you set up your laptop to share it's internet connection with others in the area, then it sets up an Ad-Hoc connection.

AP (Access Point, or Infrastructure Mode) is reserved for Routers, etc.

Some devices (Game consoles, etc) cannot use Ad-Hoc networks. They must have access to an AP or Router.
