[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backupworth:
Ok,

I spent WAY too long searching and trying to figure out how to connect laptop to windows mobile 6.5 phone. What ever your beliefs, knowledge should be free, programs are no more than knowledge in written form. If you have connected a laptop to win mobile phone on previous versions of win mobile; u r familiar with bluetooth pan, and wmwifi. ICS is a freeware free wmwifi cousin. I believe they were created around the same time. Although bluetooth pan was a popular tethering method on earlier version of win mobile - on 6.5 bluetooth pan is not the same, and hence makes tethering by bluetooth far more difficult (too complex for regular, consistent, dependable connectivity) (For BT info ppgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-vogue/69809-ics-control-internet-sharing-bluetooth-pan.html)

There is a 50page discussion on ICS on xda (50 pages, that is ridiculous - since 50% is useless opinions, chit chat, and lazy questions - straightforward, simple, updated tutorials R the answer - hint) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377047)

ICS software is available @ popular virus free softpedia http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Network/ICS-Control-65082.shtml

Or a version with a programs directory shortcut here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3067270&postcount=10 (i think)

Tutorial:

1. download ICS

2. ICS downloads as a ZIP with one file named ICSControl.exe (that is the only single file needed for tethering)

3. Transfer ICS to win mobile phone

4. Place exe where u want it - shortcuts can be made, placed, and will work.

5. run ICS

6. WEP encryption is required, and only WEP (10 digit) is available. Set chosen wep password

7. Select "start"

8. ICS will automatically display directions (Follow them)

9. Enable Wi-Fi on PC

10. Choose the WiFi sharing wep encrypted ad-hoc network (If you have multiple, use wep password to identify)

11. Enter WEP password created/displayed in step 6

Thats it simple and straight forward

I have seen 5 different posts on different sites all asking for a donation for this s/w. Creator (i think HTC or Microsoft) deserves credit and donation - not people who disseminate the knowledge.

Hey guys,

Yesterday I tried to root my LG P500 Optimus One with SuperOneClick. It all went well until the device changed into the usb-debug-mode. Then there was only "psneuter ok ..." and nothing happened. After a while I have removed the device and tried again. It hung again at the same point.

Then I loaded the app z4root and it worked immediately. The device is rooted now.

My question is: Are there any data left from my previous attempts with Superoneclick (running services/unused files/othercrap remained on my system that should be removed?

Sorry for my poor english.

Ok.. this is my setup... running mightyrom 6 from http://www.mightyrom.com and installed gremote from their website. http://www.gbmsoftware.com/

I found a windows mobile version under the download section.(free) I couldn't get the phone to active sync with my PC so I downloaded the app(gremote) to my PC and downloaded the cab(gremote) to my phone.

I go to settings on my diamond and the the Home section-> Items and unchecked everything. Then I took the gmote app and put it in the windows/startup folder. This way when I turn on the phone the remote app starts on its own.

Its really not that hard to setup. Im curious to hear someone else try it..

Its awesome.. I can now use the phone to control the mouse pointer on my 32 inch flat screen.It also functions as a keyboard too.

The app uses wifi to connect so make sure your wifi is turned on on the phone..

My only source of internet at the moment is tethering my evo4g to PC using wireless tether and its amazing all my devices are now linked.. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaglich:
Quick question.

I am running CM7 ggingerbread6, I have a 16GB SD card, a 512mb partition, and apps2sd installed. I have, I believe, moved the apps I want from my internal storage to my SD card. When I use root explorer, however, no files are on my partition.

Why is this?

Where does apps2sd save moved apps?

How can I transfer apps from my sd to my sd-ext?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Apps2sd uses a file structure to store apps on the sd card. IIRC not the entire app, only a portion.

A2sd (darktremor) places the entire app on the sdcard, in the ext partition.

[XPERIA X2 General] x2user:
OK, I admit I am new to WinMo and the X2 but there is something with Contacts that I do not understand.

1. Why is it that only one work and one private email address per contact are possible? I am currently syncing with the Mac addressbook using The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile and several contacts have two work and two private email addresses. The funny thing is that only one of those work and one of the private email addresses are actually transferred to the X2. Is there a limitation with the WinMo Contacts in this respect?

2. More problematically, when I make a new email and wish to add a contact on the X2, a name and email are suggested while I am typing the name. So far so good. But, why is it that only one email address is suggested automatically for a person, even if there are two email addresses assigned to the contact in the phone addressbook? How can one alternate between those email addresses when typing a mail? So far, I have found no way but maybe I am missing something basic here.

As a point of comparison, both these issues do not happen with the Motorola Milestone under Android. I can have several work and private email addresses per person, and when I type a new email message, choice is given between all the email addresses of a given contact.

Thanks for help!

Hey guys my wife has an htc droid incredible that she wants better performance out of. As of yet she is always complaining about how it sucks and its slow and boring. I'm sure she will want something she can use a theme on, and something extremely stable..the last thing I need is to hear her freaking out that it is messing up on her.

Also I have no idea if there is a way to create a nandroid backup on the dinc like I do with the fascinate with clockwork, hopefully there is because whatever I end up doing I need to be able to go back without a hitch...

I recommend the Incredibly Re-Engineered rom. It is sense based and has been very stable and very good with both battery and performance. I am using v2.3.1 and the incredikernel kernel.

Also, I did not see if anyone responded to your question about the backup with clockwork. Clockwork backup does work with the incredible. I have had to use it a few times myself :-)

For "non" Sense I'd definitely go with CyanogenMod 7 RC1. It's fast, stable, and GINGERBREAD!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trimax84:
Hi.....welcome :)

As for the OP: After you figure out the nandroid backup stuff (which isn't too hard, esp since you have experience with your device)....

I stuck with Virtuous for a while which was basically an improved stock ROM...probably not what your wife wants if she wants it different and finds stock "boring" (but still a great rom). Unfortunately, not much development there anymore.

Skyraider sense was my next move. Loved it! Still sense, very stable, but lots of modifications and customizations available (ie: themes). A major upset was the fact that ihtfp69 stopped working on it for the time being.

However, I'm currently running CM7 (build #2) and it's great. Not a final version yet, so may not yet be as stable as she is looking for (though, I've only had 1 random reboot in 5 days of running different CM7 roms, otherwise, absolutely no other issues for me). But if you install it and set it up for her, and point her towards all the themes available, I'm sure she'd be happy.

So there's my experience, hope it provides some insight into the options for the Incredible :) I'm sure everyone else has their pros and cons, but I have honestly not been disappointed with any of the ROMs I've installed. These developers do a GREAT job!

Good luck :)

I put IncROM on my wife's Incredible as her first ROM - it was good looking, stable, quite fast, and had insane battery life w/ the stock HTC kernel.

She's since migrated to UlitmateDroid with me, as it has a whole different look/feel, and tons of options, as do many AOSP ROMs. Give AOSP a look for something different.

If not AOSP, some of the Z ROMs are pretty cool too.

That's part of the fun of being rooted; getting to try on different stuff, see what fits you best.

Happy modding!

Being someone who has tried a lot of ROM's and Kernels..

Sense kernels run the best for incredibles. I haven't found a non-sense (aka AOSP) that will run without a few significant bugs.

One of the quickest, most stable and clean sense ROM's would be

- Sky Raider's 3.5:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764787

An excellent Kernel that majorly helped improve my battery life

- Chad's Incredikernel :

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip

You will need clockwork installed to create nandroid backups and also to flash new ROM's and Kernels, and additionally rooting your phone can be found below:

http://unrevoked.com/#inc

>> Everyone has their preference and I highly respect every developer on here, but there was just a few things in Lou's Kernel that bugged me.

I'm sure you will try a few ROM's before sticking with one, the above are just my suggestions. When running Chad's kernel, do not use setCPU or anything like it because it already has (a better) one built in that helps extend battery life with screen off, and performance/battery with screen on ;)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_live_lee:
Just a thought but if stock Sense is boring to her, she may eventually want to try an AOSP ROM. In that case, I would recommend MIUI with Invisiblek #28 and, by that time, I'm sure Cyanogenmod 7 will have a stable release. Its bad a** and gingerbread based. Also, if she decides to stay with Sense and simply wants more options for it, Virtuous is another stable Sense ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Try out 'Launcher Pro' (maybe PRO if you like it). It has really cool transition effects that your wife would probably love (I love 'em)

It's what I use instead of the regular sense UI.

Check this vid out for a better idea:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIK9yBlWYt4

You can get this from the droid market for free. PRO gets you the widgets I think, not much else.

You can also adjust the speed of transition that will make your phone seem much faster. I know the stock incredible homescreens are pretty laggy.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igknighted:
I'm assuming when you say she finds it "boring", she doesn't want geeky options like lockscreen gestures or other CM7 options, but rather fun icons and themes and the like. If this is the case, I'd try MIUI... it's stable, pretty good battery life, smooth graphics, and most importantly, it has tons of themes and icons that you can browse and download on the phone.

Find MIUI here: http://miui-dev.com/forums/forum.php, or on ROM Manager (use MIUI-Ports (by warttack) and not MIUI (by N_I_X)).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
If you want stable, go with stock based, something like skyraider, and avoid any "aftermarket" kernels. I would honestly never mod my wife's phone, because all I would need is a bootloop for some silly reason to throw her off. Less of a headache for me. Nonetheless, seek stability and do as little as possible.

She may be just as happy by installing launcherpro.

The stock FroYo browser seems to have some filetype restrictions giving the error

Some elementary googling has led me to either 'AndroZip' or 'Download All Files' however I can't dissuade myself from believing that a lower-level solution, such as a flashable zip or something along those lines, exists somewhere. Does it? If not, what's the best way for dealing with this?

Thanks for the clarification but as I note in OP, I'd prefer a low-level solution as opposed to hitting the market.

So this should be a rather simple fix somewhere...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There is nothing that you can do about it with the default browser. It is one of the probs with the basic browser, there are ways around it and they all come from diff browsers or getting a different file manager like astro or Root explorer. There is no update zip that will fix this without rewritting the browser apk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
I thought the issue was with file associations and not the browser; and that would make sense, considering I have nothing for handling .zips or .docs and I guess .apks were not meant to be installed this way. Astro automatically creates assocations for a lot of filetypes--did I understand wrong?

However, it doesn't seem as easy as I thought--no wonder since it hasn't been done already--as Android seems to have a funny way of handling associations...

Here's a Google engineer's take which says that Android doesn't know what extensions are. However, the linux kernel has a feature-set for this. I do seem to have the /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc directory, although it is empty; which of course means I fail this test for the support of this feature.
