I upgraded my Coby Kyros last night to Gingerbread - 2.3.1 using tipster's work over at (kyros-tablet-zone.team-talk.net).

I also did some research on the different Android offerings / versions.

Starting with 3.1, whose features were imported in 2.3.4, mice and other devices can now be attached via the USB cable.

After reading the snippet from the Android dev platform highlihts This seems good and bad in the quest for a generic dock. It looks like USB support may be app specific, and also may have hardware requirements (i.e. to use a dock, your phone may need to have some requirment for it.). I've pasted the snippet from the dev platfrom notes below.

(I'm still too new to post links)

It would be cool but I dont think the x has enough umphf for it to be worth while.

It seems that everytime I flash a new overclock kernel it works fine for a couple boots. Then if I leave it for a while and come back it never gets past the boot screen. It doesn't even go to the N screen. What do I have to do for the overclocks to stick?
[G Tablet General] rocket99:
I just purchased a gtab. I need help loading the market. I do not have a PC, so I just someone to send me the apk so I can load the market over the air. I'm not trying to flash custom roms or anything, just would like the real market. Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Google "Android market apk download" and you should have several places to download.
[G Tablet General] copc:
Use the search feature on this site, it has been discussed more than once how to do it and I know the market APK has been posted more than once.

Search is your friend..... :D
[G Tablet General] rocket99:
Looked all over. I found it. But the problem I've run into is, it downloads, I try to open it,it flashes open for a split second then closes. Please help a newbie out...
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
You will need to ROOT first. Search for Z4Root. Runit then install market. BUT, market my not run by itself, you will probably need at least some of the Google Framework. Might as well get the whole working kit, seach for gapps. There will be different versions of the market and so on. The link from CyanogenMod site meant for Tegra will look the best, but is an older version of market. If you want that version here is the link, scroll to bottom and look for Tegra version:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version

So:

1) Find/download 'Z4Root'

2) Run 'Z4Root'

3) Download your choice of 'Google Apps'

4) Change name of ZIP file to update.zip and place in '/sdcard'

5) Copy a version of 'command' file to '/sdcard/recovery'

(you might have to create this folder)

6) 'Reboot' holding both 'Volume +' and 'Power' button

7) Wait for install to finish

8) On restart, follow the setup after you have WIFI up.

9) Do Market Fix' (search)

10) Change '/system/build.prop' (search)

11) Enjoy Market (as good as we can get it, so far)

[G Tablet General] blacksea1:
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market.

Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop.

Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.

Open Market again and you get an Error.

Now shut down the G Tablet, then turned it back on.

Open Market again and all should work.

Has anyone come across a cigarette lighter mount for the GSM TP2 that will also charge the device? It has to be for the GSM version as the CDMA ones have their usb port mounted slightly to the left of center where the GSM versions are mounted.

I found two different ones so far. One is a universal one made by Arkon and seems to be less sturdy than it should be. It has a pass-through 12v port to plug in a charger to it. It only concerns me that the way it is made, it seems to not be sturdy enough based on the reviews.

The other one is made by iGrip and is pretty nice. It is made for the TP2, but it has no power option at all. If this would have a charging port on it, it would be perfect.

Anyone else seen any other options?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] shatred:
here in the netherlands you can buy them and they support paypal if im correct

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Sorry, but I didn't see any mount for the Rhodium on the linked page. Thanks anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] howhi50:
I use this: http://www.bracketron.com/products/universal-usb-power-dock

I got it from Radio Shack with a 1 year warranty just in case. I did have it break on me but that's because I wasn't using it right. I was within the 30 day return period so i returned it an got a new one. If you do get it make sure you press the red button when adjusting the angle. I would still recommend ti since it has everything I was looking for. I doubt you'll be able to have the keyboard open, but why would you need it open while driving?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm still searching for something similar. I like that one, I'm just worried about having the charging cable hanging out of it. The plug only needs to be a standard USB plug. I would imagine there would be another phone or device that would require something of this sort. Also, I don't need the keyboard open while using this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] howhi50:
Yea that's what I initially wanted when I set out my search but ended up settling for this. My apologizes on accusing you of wanting to use the keyboard while driving. After re-reading your op I didn't see that mentioned like I thought I did before. For charging my phone I use one of these pretty good quality and it comes with a micro usb adapter which i liked since a lot of newer phones are using this. Best wishes on your search!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Hmmmm..... That combined with the universal mount you posted might actually work nicely. I was concerned about my current HTC car charger as it has a rather long cord. This would likely eliminate that mess. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
Anyone know where I could find a short miniUSB to USB cable. Something like 2" or so would be fine. This might be able to complete the homebrew mount I'm working on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kastg1:
Short USB Cable

Amazon.com has a 1ft cable (can't post links yet) and 3 ft cables, although I haven't seen any 2ft cables. If you need 2ft you could pick up a gender changer (also available on amazon) and link two 1ft cables together.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
That's a 2" (inch) cable I am looking for. Thanks anyway, though. I'm hoping I won't have to make one. Making USB cables is not fun.
[EVO 4G General] PryorDaniel:
Well, I just switched from BackTrack to Ubuntu Netbook on my HP mini and was wondering if anyone has used USB tethering with it. I'd test it, but my Evo is with my wife right now and I won't get it back for a few days. I take online courses and figured if tethering works I can work on my classes while at work since I do next to nothing from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
[EVO 4G General] Tiffany84:
I haven't tried it but I know wireless tethering works cause I use it all the time so I would say the usb tethering should work as well.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
as the title says, im trying to edit one of the htc sence skin's, i pulled the apk and extracted it, changed some of the elements (clock) re-zipped it and changed the extention from .zip to .apk, i tried to install it but i just get the "application not installed" error. i assume it's because its not signed, so is there a tool that can auto sign and package the .apk? either from the files or from a .zip format :confused:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yes the awesome apk manager. Google "apk manager xda" should take you right to the thread. Can't be bothered finding it right now as I'm mobile.

[XPERIA X10 General] Misleadingg:
i got it from Rogers

I thought it was the much anticipated 2.0.A.0.24 but no, now we are ahead. Let me describe what you can expect from this update:

1. phone is not wiped, but root and xrecovery are gone

2. loaded with more sony junk

3. you can still root it XDXDXD with the flashtool

4. feels smoother? i dunno

5. official multitouch!!! feels better than the bin4ry one

lol thats what i can observe from this build, need more info? just ask, ill try to find out and tell u

Theres already a thread going on this...but its pretty cool that rogers actually released it that fast.

OLD:​

While reading Gizmodo, I stumbled across an article about the PirateBox, an offline network for sharing files. I wanted to do this, but I didn't want to buy all the supplies. Instead, I decided to use an old Android phone, my HTC Hero (Sprint) that got abandoned after upgrading to an EVO 4G. In reality, any phone with Android, root, and WiFi woill work just fine.

Materials

Android Device

root

Wireless Tether App (market)

PAW Server (attached)

SDCard

Pirate Lunchbox (Not necessary)

BatteryPack (Not Necessary)

Instructions

First, get on the internet and download the "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app. This will establish our PirateBox Network.

Set up the name to "PirateBox" or anything you like. Make the network "open"

Download and install the APK below. This version of PAW Server includes PirateBox, and the forwarding stuffz. Credits to joschi70

Make a folder called "piratebox" on the root of the SDCard

Next, Start the Tether app.

Start PAW Server

Finally, test the system out by uploading a file from another device. If all works well, the file will be at the folder called "piratebox" under the "html" folder where the pages are.

EXTRA: For an almost-exact replica of the original PirateBox, place your device in a Pirate lunchbox with a battery pack.

How It Works

This works by the users joining the "PirateBox" network. PAW Server then serves the site. The page uses BeanShell Code because PAW Server does not like PHP and because BeanShell is supported by PAW. In the recent versions, joschi70 has changed PirateBox from a half-working project to a fully-working install-on-the-fly system. He has redesigned PirateBox to an almost-precise replica of the original PirateBox. He is also the one to get forwarding woking, so he deserves all credit for finishing this. I just started it :)

Other Stuff

NOW MORE PROBLEMS!!!!!11!!1!!!!!!1!!!!1

In order for this to work, you have to use "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and NOT the native tethering in ROMS like CyanogenMOD and MIUI. In fact, DO NOT use a rom with Native Tethering functionality. It screws up the ENTIRE connection to PirateBox. Sense is proven to work, since this was all tested on a Sprint Hero. MotoBlur and TouchWiz are not yet proven.

EDIT: Attached is a "server.txt" without the 2MB limit added by PAW. Rename the "server.txt" to "server.xml". Then, place "server.xml" in "sdcard/paw/conf/server.xml". Also, installation process is alot simpler thanks to Joschi70. He is the developer of PAW and has made an APK with PirateBox built in. His version looks more like the original and works more efficiently.

Original PirateBox: http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox

Credits to David Darts for inspiring me to roll my own with what I had.

Also, credits to joschi70, the developer of PAW, for the PirateBox bundle AND for fixing forwarding! Now enter any website address and it redirects to PirateBox! YAY and HIGH FIVE to joschi70!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbcoolio:
pretty cool

pretty cool, but what it really needs is to also list all of the files in the piratebox folder on the main page so that other people can download them. I haven't actually tried the original piratebox but I thought that was the point, to set up a quick anon local filesharing page so you can swap files between friends at lunch. I've never used BeanShell but it should be easy enough to do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
If you need some help with the scripts let me know.

The PAW setup should not be the problem.

What might be more difficult is to get the HTTP traffic redirect working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mvdbeld:
Hi, great work got this working on my HTC Desire (without root) using the normal tether functionality. The only problems so far the files you upload can't be downloaded cause the uploaded files are not visible trough the website. If this functionality can be added this would be awesome.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
Where can I download the "official" PirateBox web pages?

Exchanging the PHP scripts should be easy.

If someone can provide a link, I would start making the PAW scripts.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mvdbeld:
wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox_DIY

anything here usefull?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
I had a look there, but could only found some files, but not all of them.

Maybe I've overlooked something.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
awesome

This is really awesome :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
I'm adding the file browsing functionality and the original uses Python.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
Updated with File Browsing and changed location of uploaded files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
This must be a pretty stupid question, but the file upload size limit is 2 megabytes if a file is larger than that, the browser gives the error 'connection has been reinitialized'.

Am I the only one having this problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
This is not a stupid question ;)

The default upload size of PAW is 2MB. There will be an update soon, with a much higher limit.

You can change this manually by editing the <maxPost /> line in the PAW configuration (/sdcard/paw/conf/server.xml).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
I have attached a "server.xml" in the original post. I just added 24 0's after "1". if anyone wants to calculate that, i'll be happy to know how many MB's that is :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
Awesome!

I was just writing a comment on how I did it:P

But joschi70 has already created an app

Thanks for your fast reaction:D

This app wil make my life a lot easier
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
Your welcome! We are still trying rerouting methods. hopefully that gets fixed soon. Should make uploading easier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
<strike>I don't know anything about programming linux, and just a very little html. But I'll be your bugreporter from now on. Because I would love to help the project.

;)

I installed the app from joschi70. But after you upload a file it will be in /sdcard/piratebox

But if you are browsing files it will check /sdcard/paw/html/piratebox

Or is it just my Desire HD that does that kind of stuff:p</strike>

Edit:

Removed /sdcard/piratebox and created /sdcard/paw/html/piratebox

got it working 100% now :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
I have to look into it because joschi70's apk saves to /sdcard/piratebox/ and browses that same directory, not to /sdcard/paw/html/piratebox.

EDIT: Try to uninstall joschi's PirateBox bundle, delete /paw from your SDCard, and reinstall joschi's PAW/PirateBox APK
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
I already tried that :p

Whenever you come to the piratebox homepage and click

2. To view files uploaded to PirateBox, click here.

It says: Got the error: Not Found

while trying to obtain /piratebox

whenever you upload something and click:

3. Browse and download

files here.

It will take you to the files you have previously uploaded

At least this is the problem with mine?

I've deleted /sdcard/paw

and reinstalled the app
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
Let me look into it...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
Figure it out, hopefully. Make sure to have the "piratebox" folder premade on the root of the SDCard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
Tried internet explorer, works like a charm

This was te first time ever firefox let me down

Thanks for your reactions once again :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
If you need something fast as FireFox, but hate IE, get Chrome
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
Got it :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
Major Update! Forwarding now works! All credits to Joschi70!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dasmoover:
What is the backend server? Apache?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
To be honest, I'm not sure. Joschi70 has been building the last few updates.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
PAW is based on the Brazil framework by SUN (Oracle).

So no Apache involved.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janniemannieee:
You're both my heroes:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iridize:
Hi, just a quick question, why does that PAW server APK ask for access to do things like:

Read/write access on my contacts

directly call phone numbers/send sms's

use gps

edit sms/mms or read sms/mms

?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
This is the normal PAW server with exchanged /sdcard/paw content.

The stock PAW server comes with a web GUI that includes sending of SMS etc..

Thats why the permissions are still in there. But nothing of this is used.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iridize:
Thanks for the reply :)

unfortunately as im running Cyanogen it doesnt work for me

I un-installed the default tether (which was Wireless Tether for Root Users)

re-installed Wireless Tether for Root Users,

checked connection, could still connect fine

installed paw, failed to connect every time on getting ip config :(

uninstall paw, works fine again.

shame :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
Here is a description of the setup...

Setup

HW: Samsung Galaxy I7500

OS: Android 1.6

ROM: 2.6.29-bfs302-drakaz-galaxo-light

SW: WiFi Tether 2.0.2-pre13, PAW 0.56 (with modified setup)

Startup Scripts

The startup und shutdown scripts are located in /sdcard/paw/etc/init/1. These juste execute some shell commands.

Testing

You can check if the PAW startup script works correctly with adb shell.

In the /data/data/android.tether/conf directory the file

dnsmasq.conf should have the following (or similar) line appended:

address=/#/192.168.2.254

If you do a iptables --list -t nat the output should show the port forwarding from port 80 to 8080.

If this is the case, then the startup scripts did work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
The problem seems to be how built in tethering interferes with the "WiFi Tethering for Root Users" app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
For those who want to try to fix it for their ROM.

Have a look the scripts in /sdcard/paw/etc/init/1. The S_piratebox_startup.bsh script is for startup and the K_piratebox_shutdown.bsh script is for shutdown.

These can easily be edited.

Two things are important:

All DNS requests have to be answered with the IP of your Android Hotspot. In the WiFi Tethering case dnsmasq is used for this.

All HTTP traffic to port 80 has to be forwarded to port 8080 (using iptables), because PAW can not run on privileged ports.

If you get this working for your ROM, PirateBox should work :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iridize:
I tried this again using "WiFi Tether 2.0.2-pre13" that you mentioned instead of the tethering app on the market and it worked perfectly first time :)

Thats on a Magic with latest stable Cyanogen mod installed.

next test - can other android phones connect. from what i read they cant connect to ad-hoc networks unless the phone doing the wireless tethering is patched, i will have to read up on that :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joschi70:
Yes, you are right ... WiFi Tether works in ad-hoc and not infrastructure mode.

That's really a shame.

So most Androids will not be able to see the network :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pspunderground:
If I'm correct, I have read that older Android phones aren't capable to ruling in infrastructure mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iridize:
From what i can see the latest version of the tether app has infrastructure mode for the Evo only, but don't say if its a hardware or software limitation at the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] olitask:
Paw server need a lot of things

Hello. I'm enthusiastic for your project but when I see that the paw server need to have COMPLETE access to my phone I stop !!

Why does he need to send SMS, phonecall, have access to my GPS, my contact,, everything ...

piratebox = to be pirated ????? :confused::confused: :mad::mad:

Maybe i'm too suspicious ?? Explain me

Edit : I don't see previous msg with same question

no possible to limit those things ?
