Followed instructions and all looked good. Connected, authenticated to my VPN ok, but then generated an error:

"FATAL: cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically"

I'm on stock 1.2, MN 4.5.18, using updated tun.ko in OP. I'm also running the OC kernel for 1.2 found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064095) based on the 2.6.32.9 stock.

Is OC kernel causing this error or something else?

I have a htpc build in in my car. As internet connection, I want to use my phone as internet-gateway but I do not want it to serve dhcp, dns, instead of the pc that hosts the ad-hoc network (reason is battery issues... ). These tasks are all done by my htpc in my car. So I need to connect with my phone on my ad-hoc wifi network while my phone internet connection must be on and open for use by my htpc.

I added a diagram in attachment (png)

When android is on Wifi, the 3g connection doesn't get used. Tether apps actually achieve this, if I get it right. Could somebody point me in the right direction or aid me with code, so I have internet connectivity while on a ad hoc network? Thanks

I am looking for a smartphone meeting these criteria

- fully hackable (.i.e unloacked bootloader with possibility to install custom rom (.e.g 2.3 even if the official release is not out yet)

- flash 10.1 enabled (if not, flash lite but can flash lite display all flash 10.1 content?)

interested in x10 mini pro mainly because of its price although it looks a bit too compact. Does the x10 mini pro supports these 2 criteria above? and can u load the x10 normal rom onto a x10 mini pro?

I bought a AT&T Samsung Focus for super cheap. I have the data running just fine and fast, however, it seems that MMS is a big pain in the butt. I can't get it to work at all. Anyone use Chevron WP7 in the past to get to the hidden MMS settings? I tried to load up ChevronWP7 but that it doesn't seem to work anymore either...:(
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Samsung has updated its own Network profile tool in the market that allows you to set up the MMS settings. There is no need to hack your phone anymore.
[Focus General] jessiethe3rd:
I wish this was the case... however... I bought a phone which appears to still be "locked" to AT&T's network. The issue is the used phone may be connected to some kind of "AT&T" Contract? I got the ChevronWP7 NetProfile.xap to work but it's pretty much the same thing - just doesn't work.
[Focus General] powersquad:
yep something is still locked in the at&t focus. have one in new zealand and the samsung network profile tool only shows me the at&t profile to select from. MMS doesn't works for me either.
[Focus General] jessiethe3rd:
Alright this is not just me. The MMS APN is locked away somewhere... probably won't have the MMS unlock without some tweaking from the community for 10 months. Samsung has gone on file saying they were "protecting" AT&T and other providers.
[Focus General] Espentf:
Yeah, same here. Using my focus in Norway and everything works perfectly except for MMS (and of course the marketplace which we don't have over here yet).

Haven't been able to find a solution to this anywhere. MS is aware of this and says it's on their prio-list, but Samsung says that it's designed for use with a specific carrier.
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
Yes... I'm stuck here too without Chevron. Phone is unlocked (I paid for unlock code) but there is no FIDO network name to choose from for the MMS setting.
[Focus General] Blue1k:
I got mine unlocked. I'm using it on Telus.

The only way I got chevron to work was after I had reformat windows. I reinstalled an older version of zune and it worked.

Not exactly the best solution but the only that worked for me.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
pardon my ignorance, I have never used the function, but isn't there an "add apn" on the bottom of the cellular menu in settings? what does this do?
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
The APN is only for Data. MMS is actually a cell hone function (like SMS) and it seems without Chevron, there is no way to change the settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
Can you guys shed some light on some questions i have about this nexus one i might buy. Any help will be greatly appreciated

1. Its the employee version (has android holding a QR code flag engraved on back), how is this different from the regular nexus one? I googled that its a beta that wasnt meant to be sold and might have problems?

2. Is it compatible with at&t 3g? The person said it is, but I assume its the first generation? I thought only second generation ones were at&t compatible.

3. Are there any annoying problems that were never fixed? Like for the htc hero, it takes forever to delete a long thread of text messages. If i restart the phone too often in a short period of time, the headset is activated without even having a headset plugged in. Things like that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
I have a feeling that guy bought a battery cover from eBay and put it on a regular nexus one.

If he can show you the phone, with an AT&T SIM, and can surf the web on 3G, (to the best of my knowledge) he's bluffing. AFAIK, you are correct about AT&T coming in the second revision.

Just buy a nexus S :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
If its a real holiday phone, then it will not work on AT&T 3G.

The only long standing problem is that the screen will go mental once in a while. Seems to be when plugged in. You just have to lock & unlock it to sort it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
Thanks for the replies. The phone is new so i think it came with it and wasnt replaced. she said it it was given to google employees.

@rusty, is that a problem with all nexus ones?

@wdfowty, i wud except the nexus s doesnt have a trackball, no led light notification, no sd card. yea im picky :D So its either a nexus one or wait for a dual core next year
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yep, all of them. It's not too annoying, not a daily occurrence and take 2 seconds to sort.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
I bought a N1 instead of the nexus S as well and memory its really limited on the nexus one having only 512mb to work with few apps and 3 months worth of calendar I only have 10mb left to deal with. I already installed every app I can to the SD kinda sucks but I still like my N1 for maybe the 6 months I'm keeping it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
You need to take a look at Darktremor Apps2SD, as it moves any app, in its entirety, to an EXT partition on the sdcard. Check out the thread in the Dev section.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I am curios what this is? Under location and security there is a tab called select device administrators. When I click on it it shows email and a box for me to check. What does this do? This is only on 2.2 thanks.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Im wondering the same thing...help?
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I have seen this on my wife's phone running CM6.1. She has her work e-mail going to the phone, but part of their requirements to allow employees have the mail on their phone is that their IT dept has to be a phone admin so they can wipe sensitive data remotely in case the is lost or stolen.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah I read some other threads about it when I googles it but I didn't understand what they were saying. The only thing I got was it adds security to the app thru wave secure. Don't know if I'm completely right. I checked the email app that was under it and activated it but I didn't notice anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgeek:
I've been trying to switch in between backed-up ROMS using Clockworkmod without success. I have to use ODIN to flash back to STOCK Eclair, and root it before I can flash another fresh ROM using Clockworkmod.

None of the backups I make work when restored, and goes into the AT&T-screen-reboot-loop.

I don't want to use ODIN because it's froze during the flash & bricked 2 phones that I've had to send back for warranty replacement. NOT GOOD!

I know that in the market Clockworkmod states that you must use a "compatible" ROM, but I've never seen a ROM in XDA that specifically state's it's compatible (I've installed Cognition & Perception's latests.)

I've read about having to remove any lag-fixes before installing, but if it's built into the ROM how is this done?

Even if I have to flash back to a backed-up stock ROM before re-flashing a new ROM that'd be fine, but this has never worked. No ROM I back-up with Clockworkmod has ever been restored successfully, making me use ODIN, which twice has bricked my phone.

Is there a solution?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Nope, odin is it. You can try to flash the rom you have a backup of over your current then try the backup but you are playing with fire.

How did you manage to brick two phones with odin? That program is used by everyone who flashes for the most part, and although I have heard of issues the over whelming consensus its that it its easy and reliable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgeek:
How? I dunno! lol

ODIN basically freezes and won't progress while doing the actual flash. I've used ODIN before w/o problems, but twice now it's frozen in the middle of the flash & bricked the phone. The phone was 100% dead (didn't try a jig as some suggested yet though.) Won't power on, go into download mode/recovery. Nothing.

I was really hoping to avoid using ODIN. Crap!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
What others have said is it possibly is related to CWM and our file system. Something along the lines of if you are flashing a ROM over another ROM and the kernels, modem, etc being different will cause the boot loop. That seems to be what has happened to me. It is always recommended by Dev's (even though it is not always necessary) to go back to stock and flash your Rom. Remember though, once you have your update.zip for CWM on your phone you do not need to root. Just do 3 button combo or ADB command to get to recovery mode.
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
Two things...

Why are the new gingerbread ROMs (OMGB and Evervolv) themed and modified to hell and back? Why can't someone just import things (one by one) to build a stock vanilla gingerbread ROM, and then work from there? I don't want anything altered from the basic vanilla ROM but here we are, dealing with all these customizations and different themes already applied and apps thrown onto there (other than the basics like SU). I don't want any music app on my phone so WHY FORCE ME TO HAVE ONE? I don't want to only have to choose between 2 ROMs to enjoy gingerbread this early. This ultimately leads me having to alter things to GET IT BACK TO A VANILLA ROM.

Also, why must all themes have to be rainbow-eccentric and have no "flowing" colors? Most of the themes are just an eye-sore and make me think the "designer" is colorblind and leaves me to theming everything myself. No, the app doesn't look good if it has a STRONG RED next to a DEEP BLACK, with STRONG BLUE somewhere mixed in.
[Droid Incredible General] schollianmj:
so, if you dont like whats being offered by the devs, step up and make your own ROM's. if you read through the threads, most users do like what is being offered and that is why they are so popular. personally i cant stand the vanilla android experiance and am currently rocking Nils Biz-sence rom...
[Droid Incredible General] DRW315:
This.

Why haven't you "imported things (one by one) to build a stock vanilla gingerbread ROM" if it's so easy? These devs are theming their ROMs to their (and other users') liking, and they are nice enough to post them here. Appreciate that for what it is.
[Droid Incredible General] rabidpencil:
I'd like a vanilla rom that I could customize myself, but I would prefer to have someone else do the work so I'll take what they give me.

[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
I'm not saying it's easy, I can't do what the CM team has done, (because that's what they're doing; taking the CM fixes, applying them, and theming it to their liking) but why are the 2 only ROM dev's right now working on adding **** to a version of android that ISN'T already built for the Incredible? Why can't they make a vanilla ROM, AND THEN customize it to their liking?
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
So you'd rather have what someone else likes and thinks is "right" instead of what YOU want on YOUR phone? I'm not saying it's a bad thing but why wouldn't you want your own customizations instead of someone elses?
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
Pretty sure OMGB is stock vanilla. With rare exceptions, one being messaging being on the launcher instead of the browser.
[Droid Incredible General] infotechsailor:
what the hell are you talking about? have you even started up the gingerbread emu or searched screenshots of GB?

holy **** man, it is vanilla. that's how google released 2.3, with the black status and lime green/orange icons. use whatever launcher you want.

these are free ROMS from unpaid developers, who are porting the ROMs and allowing you to run them WAY BEFORE it would be available to you OTA.

dude srsly
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
The last build I tried, it said "WeDoDroid" instead of "Verizon Wireless" or even "T-CDMA". Also, the change you just mentioned, different kernals used, different music app, probably other things I can't remember.
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
Refer to my last post quoting someone else and the list of modifications, it's obvious you didn't read my entire post and just quoted a single line.
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
I should also clarify that I AM thankful for all the free **** us users get from this community, no doubt about that, but I'm just merely confused about how people go about things.
[Droid Incredible General] infotechsailor:
i read your post. you are complaining about colors and designs.

its obvious you don't know what GB is supposed to look like.

Go install eclipse and start up the GB SDK in an emu and you'll see how great the "stock vanilla GB" really is. not.
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
even though you sound a little rude and demanding for things that are free....i totally agree with you.

step 3 - learn to program in java

step 5 - learn extensible markups and the android os

step 6 - cook a rom

step 7 - post it on xda and ask for donations for step 8

step 8 - buy a 1337 t-shirt and a case of red bull

almost there
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
I'm talking about graphical modifications, such as the different font (on Evervolv) and "WeDoDroid" on OMGB. If you would've kept reading the thread I mentioned a list of things to someone else a couple posts from my first one, but I don't expect people to do that ;)
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
...

I knew I shouldn't have posted here, it's like dealing with idiots. Most of you are missing my original point.

But to address you, I've put hours into making my own ROM so it's to my own liking, and no I'm not going to upload it to the forums or show you proof because I simply do not feel the need to prove something to anonymous forum users for satisfaction.
[Droid Incredible General] keith.mcintyre26:
Then just use your own ROM dude....
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
I am! I just wish that instead of giving us only 2 choices for gingerbread ROM, they'd start off with a basic vanilla one and then work from that, instead of customizing what they want before the ROM is even fully functioning.
[Droid Incredible General] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm used to it. Is this 4th party customization? Verizon being the 3rd party? Lol
[Droid Incredible General] DS36:
Um actually i know how to do all those things.

But thanks for insulting my intellegence though.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
So all you want is stock gingerbread with nothing but Google apps?
[Droid Incredible General] infotechsailor:
mommy bought me an incredible but i wanted an iPhone
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
Sorry to hear that, maybe ask for new presents from Santa next year?

Yes. Why can't the community start with this so we can get more gingerbread ROMs available, instead of clones of each other?
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
I understand that but at the same time is it really a big deal? U could easily use root explorer to remove many apps or just wipe data again after u flash.

It seems that gscript and minuit music are the only 2 included apps u spoke of in system so just wiping ur data partition should remove everything else u don't want.
[Droid Incredible General] DRW315:
Nobody needs you to prove anything. But it'd be great for you to share your hard work with the forum as so many others have done.

[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
I just simply choose not to because it'll be criticized and then not used. Why waste the time?
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
And yet here you are criticizing someone else's rom, and talking about how you don't want to use it...

Hello pot... meet kettle...
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
well said g00s3y. this thread was getting hilarious.

i am man enough to accept that i aint got no coding skills (no bowhuntin or nunchuk skills either) and i am happy to play with the hard work of others. So I do not complain but politely pester the devs to include things I like, change things I dont and donate whenever I get stuff i like from them.
[Droid Incredible General] ilinfinityil:
As I said at least once now, I use my own ROM...so I guess I'm criticizing myself here? Are people not allowed to criticize other peoples work? If you go look at the ROM threads, half of the posts contain complaints about something or fixes for something.

Anyone can upload whatever they deem worthy of mass consumption yet I don't want to myself with the things I've created.

Not exactly my problem if people upload things for criticism :rolleyes: that's what forums are for, right? For criticism of some thing?

But yet again, the point of this topic has been missed.

You are complaining about "We Do Droid" and a non-stock font. The point of this topic has not been missed, it's just that nobody cares.

The ROMs that are out are basically stock gingerbread. I'm sorry you don't like the devs putting their logo in your pulldown bar, or maybe putting a different font on. The fact is these are pretty stock.
[Droid Incredible General] rcicu:
All i can say is WTF! Did you pay the DEVS to build you a custom ROM????? If not then you have two options, Build your own or ask one of the DEVs nicely and make a donation.

The DEVs don't owe you anything! They are creating ROMs for themselves and are being very gracious to share there work!
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
Did you know both GB roms are still in "alpha" stage. Of course people who don't know what "alpha" means are going to complain. And of course there are going to be fixes, because it's an "alpha". (that word sounds funny after a while lol)

Hi pot... is that because you don't want someone to criticize you? Yet here you are doing that to everyone else??? :confused:

No, you are missing the point of these forums, people aren't missing the point of your topic, because your "point" you are trying to prove is ludicrous.

I don't believe for one second that you have created your own rom and are using it. (please feel free to prove me wrong, i would gladly apologize) Because why use your own, and then go bash other people's roms, that you aren't even using?
[Droid Incredible General] Hypcrsy:
There is a difference between constructive criticism and complaining.

You sir are complaining and it is incredibly (See what I did there? :D) inconsiderate.

The code for 2.3 just dropped a couple weeks ago and I'm thoroughly impressed with how fast these roms were posted for download. That being said they are still alpha and incomplete. If this is reaaallly that big of a deal for you, take other posters suggestions and cook up your own 2.3 ROM or stop *****ing.
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
These ROMS are great. I understand the point of your post, I too would like a stock ROM (well, cyanogenmod 7 is what I want actually. ), with no modifications to the font or anything.

But you complaining like a little snot who's not getting what he wants is annoying and unbelievably rude. If you wanted your point to get across (which it did) without a flame war happening, you should of asked a developer to make a 2.3 ROM completely stock. Make a request. If you have patience I'd keep an eye out for Conical ROM by linuxmotion. His ROMS are completely source and he doesn't start customizing his until he reaches a stable version.
[Droid Incredible General] fernando sor:
its people whining like you that discourage people like myself who work long hours because we love what we do. force you??? you mean someone really cares what rom you have on your phone? seriously. man up, stop whining or develop your own rom. the code is open source.
[Droid Incredible General] rboddy:
I can't believe he's *****ing about full customization when OMGB only includes a font package (which is non-intrusive and can be easily changed to suit one's personal taste) and an app or two (which can be removed if they don't meet ones personal tastes), things that have absolutely nothing to do with the feel of the ROM itself. WTF?

You wan't 100% true Gingerbread, go to the f*cking supermarket and buy a box of cookies. Even then the cooks will have made them with their own ingredients and personal touches.
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
Do you tell people who give their opinions of movies to shut up and make their own if they don't like a film someone else made? If you post your work for other people to consume, you should be willing to accept criticism, whether people are paying for your work or not. Perhaps the OP should have been a bit nicer with his tone (lol tone on the internet) but he has every right to criticize the work of other people if they're posting it here for us to use.
