Yes, but a much, much better solution is here. Infrastructure mode, and nicely integrated into the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings app. I've installed and tested it on the MixUp kernel, and it works like a champ.
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
There's a few apps that pop up in the market for wifi tether. Which one should we get?
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
So once rooted, you don't need a special setting/program to tether, you can just use tethering programs and assume it is free?

In WM there's always the settings/program that I was paranoid about having wrong.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
No... you don't use the Sprint hotspot app. This mod integrates a wireless Access Point feature/capability directly into the phone.

After installation, a new item appears in menu->settings->Wireless & networks -- "Mobile AP".

Select it, and turn it on with the checkbox. Wait while it configures everything in about a minute, then look for it with any wireless device and connect same as any AP. The device will now have internet access via your Epic.

This solution beats any other simply on account of the Infrastruture Mode implementation; however, the tight integration directly into the Android system beats the app approach too, for my tastes.

The SSID, DHCP server address range, and other wifi router/AP parameters are configurable.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
just keep in mind this mod only works on stock/odexed ROMs, which if all you are doing is rooting, you have. if that is too much then you can get wifi tether but i think the market version still doesnt work on the Epic (correct me if thats changed).

the working version is here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

but you have to go to settings > applications > check unknown sources to install a file downloaded from non-market source.

As others have stated, you really should do it yourself and learn. Unless of course you dont ever plan on getting another phone that you plan to root. Most of the guides on XDA offer wasy instructions and have (some) members that will be patient and offer you assistance if you need it.

It really isnt that difficult with the guides and instructions some have posted. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798067. My 12 year old nephew followed that post, and with minimal questions rooted his phone on his own without any issues.

[HD7 General] Dazza999:
Hey all,

I have HD7 and listen to music when travelling, everything works fine. But just recently I attempted to watch a film and the sound will not play through the Bluetooth headphones, it transfers the sound to the speakers? Anyone know how to change this at all??
[HD7 General] RussST24:
Hi, I noticed the same issue on mine and there seems no way to change it.

I will offer a thought on why i think is happening.

On my other Android phones only the Galaxy S actually did a good job of keeping the audio and video in sync when using Bluetooth A2DP. The protocol has buffering in it so for audio its no problem but video can be tricky.

I think they just set it to not use Bluetooth for video audio to save complaints.

shame.

[HD7 General] edouardpremier:
Hello, do you have the possibility to call a contact with the voice ( voice dialing) by the headset like on the HD1 ( and not on the HD2) ?

Thanks
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
I don't know whether you can activate the voice dialing using purely the headset, but you can use voice dial through a bluetooth headset. Just connect the headset and then hold down the start button until it asks you to speak. It works no matter which app you're using.

It also works without the headset. :D
[HD7 General] Dazza999:
bluetooth headphones

Hi,

To Russ, i previously had a Touch Diamond 2 and used these same headphones and it worked perfectly. I actually believe it has something to do with Zune and the player that they use?, it cant recognise that a headset is attached and therefore reverts to the speakers.

With regards to activating the voice dialing, with my bluetooth headphones which are Sony ericsson ones, it has an answer button, which when pressed with no incoming call it activates the voice dialling just as usual saying the same "Call mum".
[HD7 General] edouardpremier:
Thank you, goood news because the HD2's bluetooth stack wasn't able to hear the voice dialing by the blutooth headset , and it only works only by the HD2's microphone.

Thank you
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
I am not sure if you are still looking for this, but YES, the voice dialing can be activated using the BT Headset. I have a Voyager Pro Plus and it works just fine.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
As per the original thread title, I am having the same problem playing video files audio not getting transmitted via my BT Headset, So I called HTC to ask them what was the problem. They confirmed it is a software issue.

He said, it was a WP7 limitation. May be the future updates might get that feature, but right now it SUX. I am not sure how MS managed to F#$% this up. I am really Pissed. I was waiting for ever for this Headset so that I can watch my movies during my commute with the convenience of a BT Headset, now the whole purpose is lost.
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Saw a comment here recently that the 2.2 OTA might cause us to lose any option to root our Vibrant. NE1 have input about this?
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Until we actually see the 2.2 OTA, no one can really answer this.

I can venture an educated guess though. The existing JPM Froyo build can be rooted via several methods at least one of which is particularly hard to circumvent unless fundamental changes come about that Samsung has not hinted at even remotely. Assuming little else effectively changes between JPM and whatever the final version pushed out is, it's not likely that root capability will disappear more than temporarily, if at all.
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Even if this is true, I bet it won't wait more than a day to be rooted

... unless the OTA makes some changes to the hardware LOL
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I find this to be EXTREMELY unlikely. Samsung releases their code and they have not made any of the efforts that HTC and Motorola have in regards to stopping us from gaining root. I actually have been very impressed by Samsung in this regard. Imagine if you had a G2 or Droid X... annoying.
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Sounds reasonably encouraging.. Since j16 my Vib does the 3 button press, but wanted to hold out for Froyo before making the leap. Hehe, just seeing the letters "oclf" gets my palms sweaty.

Do hope see more opinions on this. After all, it's a biggie if they actually surprised us with such a thing
[Vibrant General] cpittman:
you can use ryanza's OCLF to root and unroot with the click of a button without applying the lag fix. i'm stock with root strictly for backup/restore options and clockwork recovery.
[Focus General] evilangelic:
Hi guys,

I have noticed using voice recognition (hold home button) that sometimes just without any cause, the microphone just doesn't pick anything up.

Usually you see an graphic of pick-up by the mic, but occasionally it just stays at nothing whether i'm shouting at it or not... kinda annoying.

Also playing with it in a bar a on monday night I found that it just didn't recognise anything at all ever when there was the slightest background noise!

A friend was there with his iPhone 3GS and it occasionally could recognise him even when there was loud background music..​

Is anyone else getting the silent treatment from their mic?
[Focus General] owczarb:
Unfortuntely yes.

My omnia 7 did it once, when I wanted to show it to my wife.

Tried few times later on and was ok.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Touch Graphite:
OK, Im not some sort of southern hemisphere dealer or nothing, but I've got a perfect HTC diamond sat around for someone to purchase for ROM testing or spares etc.

I couldnt find a specific forum that supports this form of selling on this site and I apologise if this breaks rules etc. But XDA was the first place I thought of before distributing this handset to other easier means for cash. I also hate ebay for this sort of selling too and it contains timewasters. This site does not.

It's an official O2 XDA Ignito (so not the dodgy back cover) that was sourced direct from O2 due to upgrades.

This phone has not been bought 2nd hand, I am the original owner from O2, nor has been locked or reported stolen.

Before I post pictures etc to prove working, the phone is still boxed within the original packagaing and contains all the supplied accessories which include:

Case (although slightly damaged from use)

USB Lead

Mains Charger

Brand new official HTC RC100 Remote Control Headset (Replacement supplied with handset)

Unused Official Screen Protector

CD and Manuals.

This handset was used by myself for 18 months, and comprised of around 8 months with the original O2 ROM and then cooked (with help from a friend)

with HardSPL Olinex 1.40 to just a few ROMs I've been dancing to and from, mainly the EnergyROMs, the GenY but its now got the Memo ROM flashed.

This sort of sale would be very ballpark, but im open to offers here at the moment. Its been sat around for a few months now and needs a good home.

Please PM me for offers or reply with any questions.

The phone box will be packaged in bubble wrap and brown paper and sent via Royal Mail Recorded delivery. P+P will be an extra £5 on top of the offered price.

GalaxyS would score even higher if it wasn't using eMMC and was using NAND.

Having owned an SGS, its Neocore benchmark is double the Desire and hits 60FPS+
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
isnt that due to the more powerfull gpu?

nothing to do with io or cpu on neocore

afaik its accepted that the sgs lagfix is sudo improvement benchmark wise. it does indeed fix the lag but benchmarks read it differently and real world peformance (apart from graphics) suggests its not as good as it seems
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,think of the Galaxy S as a high-power race car.It may kick the crap out of every street car in performance,but it's not nearly as good as an ordinary car for everyday use.I can't see the point of it being the best as it is a device that can top others only in benchmarks.Sorry but for me benchmarks don't count,I prefer having no trouble using my phone.

Don't want to cause any flaming or anything SGS users,that's my opinion only.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeDroid:
You got it all wrong guys...

Galaxy s lag fix creates a virtual disk which works as a buffer between writes, its a complete placebo!

The I/O performance on the galaxy s shown in quadrant is far from accurate ;) . Galaxy s sucks!

Snq- managed to do it mounting a virtual disk in the A2SD partition, quadrant scores were 2000+, we never took it any further as it was unstable.

Now I'm trying to get the same but with an ext2 partition, to keep the possibility to mount my FAT32 partition as a removable storage on my computer via USB.

you could say that it's like apps2SD+++ but for the entire /data partition :)

What can I see???

It's now possible to move ALL part of app to sd and have a boost of performance??or boot the OS from SD???

sent from the future
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibere:
Not really a ramdisk, but it's like moving the entire /data to SD. You can imagine how much storage you can get! Obviously, it has to be on a separate partition to avoid issues with the removable storage mode.

What I've done so far:

Make a 2nd partiton on the SD with Vfat FS

Make a big file on this partition.

Format this file as a EXT2 FS

Mount (loop) this file and copy all /data on it.

Unmount and remount this file above /data.

I have now a 540% speed improvement according to quadrant and close to 1Gb of storage :D

No other issue so far. Didn't feel any spike lag yet and everything was still ok (no data loss) after a reboot of the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibere:

Sibere,

I have just look at the app2sd script in init.d folder and it seems all files in /data are moved on sd-ext (ext2/3/4) except the folder "data" in /data. So all files in /data/data/ remain in the internal memory.

Your script move all files from /data ("data" folder included) in the sd.

That is why, I am wondering if it is possible to hack the app2sd script in order to allow to move the "data" folder from /data into the sd-ext.

Have you already try it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orka82:
As i see it /data/data is moved too?

I dont fully understand what you mean.

Im testing this now. Class 6 SD.

I have 884MB "internal" free right now. ;)

Edit:

Installed tons of apps. No new stuff in /data/data internal. Just on SD.

Seems to be working good and stable as of now.

Quadrant gives me the total score of 1500+. Using Leedroid with snq's chgrmod kernel.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibere:
I don't really know because I never tried app2sd

I did understand that you have to flash stuff to make it work.

All you have to do here is to copy the little script in /system partition, quite simple hey? ;)

And for more boost, just remove the "sync" option on the ext2 mount :D

You've probably been toot generous with 3GB of space and it could be the cause of the troubles. I made a 900mb partition and it's more than enough !

I just solved a busybox problem I was having and it works great. With sync on I get 1950 total score in quadrant using the latest defrost with vork kernel, I did have to manually remove the defrost a2sd+ script though so be warned if you are trying to do this with a2sd+ enabled.

Great work Sibere, 0 lag, app installs work fine, good quadrant scores, some things seem faster but it could be a placebo.

What we need is a none quadrant real world test for performance because I just know people will start saying that the readings in quadrant are false and that this just tricks the benchmark or something. Even though there are perfectly logical reasons this would improve file I/O.
