SUPER IRAN-CONTRA posted:For the G2 and MT4G which still don't have permaroot, is there any reason you couldn't download the Wireless/Wired Tether for Root Users apk, temproot with VISIONary, and then tether away? Wifi tether requires a module in the kernel that's generally not included in stock. It might be in 2.2 since it's got built in tethering.

chippy posted:Is there any explanation of what the different CPU governers do? I'm trying to work out how to effectively set up SetCPU to squeeze a bit more of my battery without compromising performance, but I can't really see much in the way of a manual or guide anywhere. Also, I thought Android scaled the CPU frequency according to load anyway? It only covers 5 options, though, and one doesn't work. Looking on my phone, I also see "smartass" and "interactive" as options. I don't know what smartass is, and this is in fact the first time I noticed it. Interactive is similar to ondemand in that it will scale up the frequency as needed, but will do so in a more gradual way, I believe. I know that when I use it, my phone can be sluggish for a second or 3 if it's been idle for a while, depending on how low I set the min. Anyway, this is the SetCPU thread at the xda forums. It's in the G1 subforum, but as far as I know, it's the official thread for that app.

Getting a phone you hope will have support is kind of a gamble. You can kind of count on HTC, but not always, a moto if it's on Verizon, and the rest is a big toss-up. It's almost always best to hang back and wait until the dev scene has taken a liking to a device, because you certainly can't count on the manufacturer/carrier to give you up-to-date support.

I seem to be failing miserably at rooting my Evo using unrevoked. I'm following the instructions and when I open up unrevoked nothing happens, it just stays at "waiting for device". I'm doing this on Ubuntu by the way.

You may need to add the device id for your evo to udev to get it detected properly. Take a look at the Android website for details.

MIUI and CM6 are working closer together so that's why it's in MIUI now. The two will be very similar in terms of features after a few more updates.

So I have an HTC Incredible and found a pretty nice theme for another sense phone and all I want is to use the dialer graphics from the theme in my current rom. I know how to extract and rezip apks, but don't know where the dialer graphics are located. I've narrowed it down to either settings.apk or framework-res.apk. Anyone know where they are located and which specific files they are? E: I thought it'd be HTCDialer.apk but the theme doesn't include this apk so I'm lost as to what's controlling the color of the dialer (specifically the number keys). travisray2004 fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Nov 6, 2010 |

It's in Phone.apk, not htcdialer.apk. They're the phone_number pngs in the drawable_hdpi folder.

If there's no APK being fully replaced it might be a metamorph, since all metamorph does is alter files within currently existing APKs. In any case the png should be somewhere in the theme ZIP file, you just have to find it. I don't know where to download the theme from so I can't help.

Paccione posted:Any browser. Currently using Dolphin but the default one does the same thing. Okay, I'm still not really following. You mean that if you visit a webpage with say a grid of photo thumbnails, then tap on one to open it full size, you still get the thumbnail sized image? Do you have any example pages where this might happen? Because it's something I've never seen before and I've owned a Desire since launch, and tried a whole variety of different ROMs as well as running on stock until a simple root option became available.

Friend links me a 1680x1050 image and I open it up in Dolphin. My phone resizes it to 10% of it's original size and shrinks-to-fit a thumbnail on my screen. I double tap to zoom in, and instead of giving me 20% of the original image and keeping the image crisp and clear, it enlarges the thumbnail and gives me a blocky mess.

Are you sure it's not your network operating a proxy that compresses images to save on 3G bandwidth?

DrBouvenstein posted:Guh...is there anyway to get wifi tethering with the Epic other than flashing a ROM? Also, MobileAP from the Galaxy S i9000 works on the Epic. Make sure you read the end of that thread as folks were reporting problems in tbe beginning, but it works now. It supports infrastructure mode, which is pretty much as good as you can get. It will work on stock ROM, but it replaces the Sprint hotspot application. DrBouvenstein posted:I use PDANet now, because it's still better than lovely hotel wireless, but I get the impression PDANet isn't that good/fast? In any event, the Epic does support USB tethering with android-wired-tether, which presents as an RNDIS adapter host-side. It requires installing the Galaxy S drivers in Windows, just so it knows how to enumerate the device, it also works in Linux. Granted, you need to use the modified android-wired-tether client from that thread, and need to install a kernel supporting RNDIS. The "test" kernel from that thread works just fine, but it has to be manually installed since no one packaged it. Alternatively, the MixUp kernel also supports RNDIS with some other things and is updated fairly frequently. Yeah, installing a new kernel isn't exactly plug-n-play either. But it's not the same thing as installing a new ROM, all the user-facing software is left untouched. It's also trivial to restore the stock kernel should you want to go back. toby posted:I don't know why, but the Epic is like the bastard unsupported child of the Galaxy S phones.

I need to root a Samsung Galaxy GT-I7500. I'm looking at this guide, but the phone I have is running 1.5. The guide links to a list of recoveries that say they are 'for' 1.6 and some for over 1.6. Can I use one of those recoveries or is there a better/easier way to root the I7500? I know Androot is not one of them.

Having a bit of trouble working out the upgrade path for my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (international version). Current version: Android 2.1 Product Code: i9000HKDORA (Orange) PDA: I9000XXJM1 PHONE: I9000XXJM1 CSC: I9000OXAJM1 Ideally I just want to use the reg hack with Kies but I suspect there's more to it than that due to my product code. Also ODIN scares me as I'm not too sure if I need to goto an image first before I goto 2.2 JPO.
