[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Genesis3:
An odd one....

I have one of the HD2 Android releases on my phone, and it's working fine EXCEPT....

USB tethering does not work.

Now here's the odd part.

1. I have two machines. Both running Win7/x64.

2. One loads the RNDIS driver and works fine. The other can't find the driver on Windows Update.

I have no clue what's going on, but the USB signature is VID_0bb4&PID_0FFe, which is valid for the HTC Sapphire.

And, like I said, the other machine -also running Win7 - finds it just fine.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Genesis3:
Answering my own question... :)

If you run into this, put this somewhere on your disk and point "Update Driver" at it.

It'll work.

Now why this was on the disk of ONE machine (which worked) and NOT the other (which did not), and why Windows Update wouldn't find it either (!!!) is unknown.

All I know is that this is the file that Windows 7 wanted, and didn't have on one of the computers - but did have on the other.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] banesi:
i'm running Windows 7 x64 and when i start usb tethering from android on HD2 there is Android Device driver missing in Device Manager, I've read that Windows 7 already have Remote NDIS support so no need for seperate driver download if you have Windows Mobile Device Center but it ain't working, the same problem as you had.

Luckely, your solution and this separate driver works, Windows 7 complains about unsigned driver but who cares, USB tethering is working :)

Thanks!

didn't work...

i attempted installing the driver OEM106.inf, but received an error once it was loaded on my pc:

"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

i was having similar problems as Genesis trying to tether my Android phone via USB to my pc and receiving a Remote NDIS driver problem (same as above). I successfully tethered my phone to my PC once (and only once), but after I woke the computer from sleep mode, my pc began giving me errors on the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" stating that windows cannot load the drivers ("rndismpx.sys" & "usb8023x.sys"). I haven't been able to tether via USB since then.

Windows Update states the driver is up to date, and when I tried Genesis3's driver fix, it only gave me the same error.

Any ideas?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Genesis3:
The files referenced have somehow been damaged or destroyed. Find them from another machine and put them back, and the OEM file I posted will work.

Those two files have to be on your machine - the OEM file is the pointer to them, but the base-level drivers have to exist.

you may need the latest version of htc sync

i did all my flashing on an xp computer and when i got win7 i just could not get any drivers to work. i downloaded the latest version of htc sync and all the drivers loaded just fine. time to flash this thing again ive had the same rom for two weeks

Hey guys..

This thread popped up first on google and im quite a noob so pls tell me how you include this driver in windows(win7 x64)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
Worked like a charm, thanks! I just had to update driver with provided file and it started working. Thank you very much again! Bump may not be a bad idea, maybe few more users will solve their problems with this. HD2 isn't a native Android device, so it wasn't that strange that it didn't worked out-of-the-box even with Win7 RDNIS (or sth like that) native support.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themogul:
A newbie here to all things rooting :o

I am going to be travelling Europe and South Asia in 2 weeks and want to take my captivate with me. IF I root the phone, will that unlock the phone so that I use a local SIM of the country that I am travelling.

Another reason I want to root is that I am sick of all the ATT bloatware, and would be nice to get some Froyo going :)

Could please suggest/point a relatively simple method for a linux dumb like me.

Much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokestack76:
No that would be sim unlock. I am mobile and cant post links. But search that. And post in Q&A and you will get the answer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparker366:
As stated this is posted in the incorrect section ask in Q/A and you will stand a better chance of getting your answer.

As to the bloatware yes rooting will allow you to get rid of it

Dupe browser crashed. Mod please delete
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
Just an FYI, if you have a question, you should post it in the "Q&A" treads. Otherwise you will probably get an ear full about how it should not be in the "Development" section.

To answer your question question, no, they are two different things. You can root your phone, but you can also unlock your phone. Doing one does not do the other. You do not have to root to unlock you phone for over sea use. You do however have to root to remove all the bloatware and to be able to mod or run other programs/ROMs you wish. There are numerous treads relating to this in XDA, so you should easily be able to find out how to do both if you wish.

Hope that answers your question. And just remember to post general topics or questions in the appropriate sections. ;)

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dustrho:
Both launchers are great IMO, but I've usually leaned toward LauncherPro. I haven't installed either on my MT4G, and am curious to know what other MT4G owners prefer to run on their phone (after rooting, of course).
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TmobileDash12:
adw launcher all the way.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/fluxed-adw-theme/com.asimonds.fluxed

with that adw.theme.

[i bought adw.notifier too]

then put on something with a black wallpaper=ooommmggg

speed+eye candy
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dustrho:
I just tried both and ADW is slow as a dog on my phone. LauncherPro flies faster than I remember it running on my old MT3G, but sadly I can't install/use any of the HTCSense widgets (most importantly the weather/clock one).

Keep HTCSense or LauncherPro? Hmmm.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] larryg2k3:
I have been using LauncherPro Plus for over a week now. Decided to try ADW today. Although there are definitely some more customization options on ADW theme wise, LPP seems to run faster and more consistent. I will be sticking to LPP.

Also, the old version of fancy widget or the paid beautiful widget app can replace the sense ui weather/clock.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] speoples20:
LPP all the way, by far the best. Get beautiful widgets if you want the sense style clock and the LPP widgets are just as good as the sense widgets.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
same here... I love Launcher Pro and have been using Beautiful Widgets since they came back after the C&D from HTC, between the speed of Launcher Pro (not to mention the 2 extra launcher bars) and the customization of Beautiful Widgets you can't go wrong.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pklee:
LPP! i love how fast it is and the widgets are amazing! the ability to also resize a widget on the fly is wondering
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] X_Cerberus_X:
I tend to use Launcher Pro Plus more than ADW but both are excellent.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] esincho:
Used to go back and forth between these 2 before lpp. the widgets just put it a step ahead, 4 me. both are good though
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ^iCemaN:
Launcher Pro with translucent widgets is the best!:D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TmobileDash12:
what do you all mean by "fast"?

like the scrolling speeds?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ryan562:
Yes that and opening speeds of the apparently drawer. U can customize the speeds via advanced options.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mountainboy:
I like both adw and lp, but my experience has been that lp is alot smoother
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vaerio81:
lp for me is the best also ...... its fast is clean and its smooth i got the regular one not the paid one......
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Hakeem5:
I love LP but im using ADW now and i havent seen any slowdowns at all and i like the themes, maybe since its newer to me im digging it more now, i been using launcher pro since it first came out
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
yea both are great launchers and i have been using LPP since it came out too but lately ive been using ADW since it has many different themes and with the TeamSilence Iced Galcier Rom V1.0 and the Gr8Gorilla 1.7 Ghz OC, ADW doesnt lag at all... so it gives me speed and extreme customization too IMO... my suggestion is download both then see which one suits your needs...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] daewond3r:
+1 for LPP. I love the calendar widget and the dock with the glass background.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
First time trying to use launcher pro, downloaded it from Market and can not find it any where. Went into my app drawer and t isn't there, checked settings ect. and isn't there either. What the heck am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Didn't think I was that much of a knuckle head but obviously I am.

Thanks,

Click your home button. You should have an option to launch HTC Sense or Launcher Pro.

Click Launcher Pro and now you're using that as your home launcher. If you click on the Menu button from home, you'll now see a Preferences selection. That's how you can customize Launcher Pro.

If you decide you like it, when you click the home button, make sure you check the box to make it your default launcher.

so I found this on vmware's website"

http://communities.vmware.com/message/1649301

add the following lines to your .vmx file

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage

usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media

usb.quirks.device2 = "0x4e8:0x6877 skip-reset" # Kies

usb.quirks.device3 = "0x4e8:0x681c skip-reset" # ?

kies mini now detects my phone and odin assigns it a com port. i havent tried flashing yet but it should work.

Edit: successfully flashed with odin one click back to jf6. also successfully connected to mtp and am able to view files in "phone" and "card" kies mini proprly detects my phone and says there is an update ready. woohoo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ozymandias88:
I'm running CM 6.1 RC1 and trying to apply a custom theme mixed with a theme done using the UOT Kitchen. The problem is my unlock and sound bars have ended up with two separate colours and I'm not really sure how as I thought the were only controlled by two files.

Anybody any idea why it's ended up two colours as shown in the attatchment?

Cheers,

Ozy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ozymandias88:
Just figured it out, it seems that the kitchen modifies some of the xml files involving the jog bars and hence they get a little messed up. Fixed it by copying any xmls with jog in the name over to the new framework-res.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
Credit goes to deis, who found this fix first. Again, I am just passing it on and packaging it for everyone.

As always, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is an OpenGL driver change and could cause system instability. Limited testing has shown no issues so far, but YMMV.

--------------------------------------------

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr1c8lx6hj94q9l

-------------------------------------------

This is an update.zip with a recovery command file. You would run this the same way you would run any firmware update (for cwm users, just extract and place the update.zip anywhere on /sdcard - for non-cwm users, you need to drop update.zip on the root of /sdcard and the recovery folder there as well, and run recovery). After reboot, give the system a minute or so to stabilize.

Also, to install Angry Birds (on TnT Lite), mount /sdcard to your PC (so it's no longer accessable to Android) and then sideload Angry Birds or install it from the Market. It should install. EDIT: Here's a trick to do that, if you have the Marketplace working via the cache / Titanium Backup hack:

1. Go into Settings -- Storage and unmount the SD card.

2. Go into the Marketplace and install Angry Birds. It should be successful.

3. Go back into Settings -- Storage and re-mount the SD card.

4. Enjoy AB and all the hours of time you will waste playing it. :)

If anyone has any major problems with this change, please PM me and I'll update this post with a backout update.zip. Essentially, this fix is one file that was taken from the latest Nvidia development kit.

EDIT: This fix has been integrated into TnT Lite 2.00.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] edgevision:
People are going to love you man.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] edgevision:
Okay so. When I try to install from market, I get download unsuccessful. When I try to sideload, it says Application not installed. And I don't know how to sideload when SD is unmounted. Suggestions?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] akodoreign:
Got it to install by plugging into my computer turning USB storage on then inststalling from market. But no video on zpad :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] akodoreign:
Double post
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sparkinman:
Installed update (zpad 1.X). Update applied fine, but when going to market I get an error stating there isn't enough room (settings showing SD Card Not mOunted), and Internal phone storage at 3.37GB
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
Yes, good point on sideloading. I use "adb install" and that worked for me, and I used the Marketplace as well. I guess you could also use Dropbox as a solution?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Crimton:
cannot get this to work on zpad, i flashed the fix in cwm but ab will not install. can anyone confirm it works on zpad?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devho:
Saved for future reference. I actually was able to install from the market and play just fine, but this is good to now in case anything goes wrong.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Installed fine in Zpad but no video.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
I can confirm it works on zpad. You must mount your sdcard to your computer or ab will not install.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
When you say mount to pc.....that is to turn off debug and enable sd to pc correct? Then when you say side load, what does that mean? Sorry for dumb question...only way i have been able to load AB is with adb install which i dont think works when you enable pc to sd setting. Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Crimton:
ok, i've just been having trouble getting things to install from the market lately and i can't loading it from the sd while its mounted to pc. so i gues my only other choice is to load via adb but i have been unsuccesfull writing to anywhere but root of sd with adb(in tnt at least)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
There are two problems with AB - getting it to install and getting it to run with full video.

This is exactly how I got Angry Birds to install, on TnT Lite:

- Download the 1.4.2 pk from anywhere, ie. from getjar.

- Setup the Android SDK so I can use ADB.

- boot up the device, connect to USB and enable USB debugging (so that ADB will function).

- mount the storage to my PC (this is the critical part - if you don't do this you can't install the app). This disables /sdcard from being visible in Android.

- run "adb install Angry_Birds_v1.4.2.apk" to install the app.

Now some of you probably don't have ADB - in that case, I would recommend trying to use the Marketplace, possibly Dropbox or maybe even copy the file via root explorer to some other location than /sdcard and then run it there. You have a few options.

The fix I posted assumes that you already have Angry Birds installed, and you are having the "no video, only sound" issue. This fix should correct the video problem.

Btw, I really hate this game. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] catttman:
Thank you

I have AngryBirds working on stock Now :)

also says installed on market

My Viewsonic Birds are singing too ... LOL :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
ok... got it installed... using this method... But after the first "round" when it ends, it aborts instead of going to the next round.

I am running full vanilla.

I did the open gl zip update, then connect to usb, mounted sd, enabled debug and loaded it via adb.

Also had loaded it several times from root explorer before I did it this way. But in any case, it still aborts after first game :(

Tried clearing davlic cache... no difference...

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
You mean "Mighty Hoax"? I'm still on "Poached Eggs" 2-10. Not sure if that helps.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
No ..I mean like the very first round with the red birds and one pig....after it tallys the score instead of advancing to the next game, it aborts and returns to gtablet hopme screen. It is as if it is not able to "Save" that first score somewhere, and it then closes....what a tease this was!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
Sorry, did not have that issue (I almost wish I did). :eek: TnT Lite 1.02.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bmasephol:
Works on zPad. Just mounted SD to PC when installing. Played the first few levels and video and Audio work. Thanks for all the work guys!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Got it to run. I was having no problem getting it to install with either ADB or the market but had no video. I finally ended up taking the update.zip out of the gtab_opengl_update1 package and installed it by itself. After that I had video.

Weird, but it works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Crimton:
thats what i had to do. i was trying to flash the package but i think we were supposed to extract it first
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
That's correct and I updated my first post. My bad for not explaining the instructions better.

I have to do it this way because I can't assume that everyone uses cwm - some need the /recovery folder if they are using standard recovery.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] eluminx:
Yes i installed with on b3 and it works perfect. I got it to install pretty much the same way as everyone else just copied it over to the internal space, disconnected from pc and installed just fine.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
Not sure if folks here appreciate it, but part of the AB fix (mounting sd before installing game) also fixes a few other games and allows install. Steambirds (great strategy/shooter game) and Ricochet now work too :)

This is without the OpenGL patch, since I have not done that yet. I am afraid it will cause a boot loop or reset my device and make me start from scratch again- I already expect to do that when Roebeet updates! :)

Roebeet, can you please add this OpenGL patch to TnT Lite 2.0?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
It's being added to TnT Lite 1.03, which I'm testing. :) 1.03 is the latest (and probably the last) firmware mod based off of TnT svn #9 kernel. It may seem foolish that I'm creating another firmware mod this close to the new VS firmware release, but actually 1.03 is a solid foundation that takes a lot of the work out of 2.00, when I start building it.

We may not need it in TnT Lite 2.00, but that remains to be seen.

So, at least for me, not working on the CM6.1 beta 3
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
That means you don't have the patch applied. Make sure you open it up to see if you have the correct zip in the correct place before flashing.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dsf767:
It should work on CM. I had a problem where I didn't notice Roebeet double zipped the file you need to open up the zip take the update.zip out of the first zip and then use that file to update and it should work fine.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GreenHornet:
How did you get it to copy to the internal space? I am using tnt lite 1.3 and tried using the included file explorer to copy AB apk from sd to the misc folder in the internal space, and it won't copy. Gives me an error. Also, using the market fix, I am able to see AB in the market, but it won't install. So I am hoping sideloading from the internal space will work.
