THANKS TO XDA-DEVELOPERS FOR ALL TWEAKS

Great job, some very useful tweaks added.

excellent - just what i was looking for..
keep the good work up!
thanks

its got the bypass certification built in when you select unlock extended_ROM.
Can now edit config.txt to add a cab that auto-install protection software (eye on thief, with my config.ini) to send me wife the thief's phone no.

Hey BongoUser,
Great tool - many thanks.
One suggestion regarding Wifi:
I understand that the TyTN uses WiFi only at a rate of 11Mbit. A modification of the registry entry dot11DesiredTxRate from 0 to 13 will increase the speed to 54MBit/s.
Have not tested yet if this change will then allow operation in 54Mbit range only but I presume that also the slower networks are ok.
Maybe worth adding to the tool.
All the best,
StonyA

Hi BongoUser,
really great job !
Here a suggestion for a future update of your software, which should be fairly easy to implement:
An option to swap the HTTP User Agent in the Registry and afterwards have swap it back again to the TyTN default value.
The HTTP User Agent can be found as a Registry key (don't know it by heart at the moment; can drop you a line if you'd need that information) and allows you mimic your device for webservers checking this value as an other device, e.g. a Nokia phone
Apart from just making fun of this function there is also a practical use in some cases, in fact where a webserver checks the value for either oresenting a different screen resolution or switching to WAP mode (note: some Nokia phones just have a very poor screen resolution or even cannot present real http pages).
In some cases WAP pages are of advantage versus real http webpages because their size is smaller, e.g. when just retrieving pure information.
While there are surely more "sophisticated" (and probably also complex !) ways for upgrading the Hermes Tweaker I think this one would be swiftly implemented.

@BongoUser,
Thank you very much for this nifty tool.
However I have found something strange with it.
I disabled the CommManager from the taskbar and suddenly the battery icon is disabled as well.
Cheers,
Drifter

Very sorry to be so stupid !!! But I confess that I don't really understand what mean "Extended Rom" ?
Does it mean that I can use a part of this "extended rom" as a space ram to softs ?
What does it mean if I select "Mount Ext Rom" and "Unlock Ext Rom" ?
Thanks to be indulgent.

It means the space where you can find the CAB Files from Orange or O2.
It will be installed after every hardreset.
If you don't know what Ext Rom is, don't unlock it and don't mount it !

Is there anywhere else this can be obtained ?
Registered about lunchtime - and still no confirmation yet so can't download it

[ConnState V1.3] Connection State plugin - Localization added

Maybe someone could find this interesting...
While I find cumbersome to find out the (for instance) IP addresses assigned to the device, or frustrating when Internet Explorer cannot find any web page because the current connection is the WRONG one...
... I ended up writing my own Today Screen plugin to display more information on the active connection. Yeah, I know this is not quite a "common" requirement, but maybe someone finds it useful... or even can suggest further improvements - that will be of course welcome!
I've attached some screenshots of it running on both a WM5 emulator and my real Hermes running WM6 - thanks Schap!
Please, feel free to use it, redistribute it, add to a ROM kitchen, or cook it into any ROM...
Updated August, 13th...
More changes with the 1.3 version. Now localization has been added. I'm currently shipping this version with English (native) and Spanish languages. I've also added a ZIP file with a little document where you can find instructions to localize/translate ConnState to your preferred language and a template localization file for English.
Hasta la vista!!!!
Version History:
V1.0
First version released.
V1.1
VGA screen support added (enough to make it usable)
V1.2
Completed VGA screen support.
Added expand/collapse button - per popular request
V1.3
Localization support. ConnState currently ships in English and Spanish languages.

Thanks!!! Good work.

Thanks, PPCNUT... now let's see if someone likes it!!

Of course... in fact, why didn't I think about that in first place? :$ I was thinking about leaving the plugin "collapsed" (the size of "no connection") and add a right-hand minibutton that expands the thing up to its size... And even allow tapping you on it to open another window with full details on the connection...
This weekend will be fun
Thanks alot for your comments!!!

This is actually very nice work and I would use it, once you were able to condense it into a smaller amount of space.

Dont work in VGA screen (
(tested on Universal WM6)
Hope you fix it soon.

Nice. I would definitely use this if it was 'shorter'

Totally not for noobs but if you are are a road warrior, or on the road a lot sniffing WiFi hotspots then this is really a great add on!

thanks a lot.

To all of you that took the time to try this little toy, I have just released version 1.2. Take a look at the first post with the new CAB and screenshots.
Thanks all for your comments and suggestions!
Cheers!

improvement suggestion
would it be possible to display the proxy info? this would be very useful for the Cingular users (pie does not work via cell connection without proxy and wifi does not work with proxy). thanks

Nice one, @dpduser - that's staying on my Today screen!!!
As it's a today screen plugin, can you make the Options button in the today screen configuration give us access to the things we wanna see displayed in the plugin?? I'm thinking of having the MAC addresss displayed, but wouldn't necessarily want it all the time - same goes for the connection being used; if I'm at home, then I'm usually using Wi-Fi.....you catch my drift??
Sorry if I'm talking out of turn, just my $0.02 You can probably tell, I'm not a programmer, just a netadmin with a deathwish
Mark.

VGA rocks!!!
It would be nice to have localization support in 1.3 release.
Please confirm it

Mountain King

Feedback & ongoing work
First, thanks to all of you that took the time to play with ConnState!!
For the "improvements" part, and as I have read from your feedback:
- Regarding an "Options" dialog to configure somewhat more "advanced" features, yes, I'm working on it - It just takes a little longer than expected because now I'm trying to do a more compatible component, that must support QVGA & VGA screens and has to do so both in portrait and landscape orientations (if you do it, do it right, isn't it? ) BTW... anyone out there with a SQUARE screen device?
- MAC addresses? Yeah, I guess it's feasible... I'll try to add both MAC & PAN addresses. Not obvious, somewhat tricky but absolutely feasible!
- Show proxy information: regarding this, I was amazed at how tricky it is to discover the current proxy configuration for a connection! In first place I have to deal with WM's Provisioning and do that in XML (so an XML parser has to be placed in!)
- Localization!! Of course YES!!! Now I have two options to do it: one could be to maintain a single .DLL with embedded resources in a variety of languages or I could build a number of different DLLs each one built for a language... Hmmmm... Currently deciding on it!! I can do both Spanish and English versions... What languages are required? Would you, nice people, help me localizing this?

I'm Vietnamese so that I like to see my mother language display on my PPC.
In addition, it'd be cool if I could translate the localization file by Notepad without creating a DLL file (just like Spb does).

If you need translator (in Vietnamese of course ), feel free to write me. I will help you with pleasure.
Keep up the Good work!
Thanks

Installed, working great on Hermes, except the today plug-in isn't activated by default after install. Maybe this is because of the variety of devices enabling the today-plugins, i don't know.

Icon... looks crap without an icon, but the program is good.

I'll add the icon on the next update

Hi
What I would really like is the ability to add a list of names, then the program picks one at random - kind of like names out of a hat
Any chance you could add that feature ???

program updated.
not much change.
added icon (finally)
and added 2 more modes link is same

I've linked directly to the cab, hope this is ok providence i know some people like a direct link (me included )

How to optimize your HTC Shift

I've been using it for two weeks and I love this little machine!
However, I sometimes find it quite slow (I usually open two apps at the same time) and turn on Wi-fi and GPRS.
Anybody can share your experience on how to optimize your Shift / Vista?

sure, one of the plans of shift project is to collect shift specific and also non specific tweaks to vista
I'm still on my little holiday but ltxda is looking into that
here's some generic ones though common sense will already tell you, but just in case:
- disable stupid services - though HTC already did some of that work, still worth checking that out. funny thing here: shagctrl relies on windows audio so leave those services alone.
- disable window animations, the vista theme itself doesn't require much resources but any kind of animation and other vista fluff will have a serious impact on GUI performance.
- disable any other features in control panel that you don't need. I heartily recommend you check out all advanced settings too
- remove all useless tray icons and startup services / other startup apps
- use apps that are light on resources - my preferred email and IM clients are such programs, also opera is a bit faster than the default IE7... definitely faster than firefox 2 (sorry).
that way I get 500MB free ram easily and near 3 hours on battery with some wifi usage.
ofcourse the ultimate optimization is ... snapvue

Hi Cmonex,
500mb of RAM free eh? i'd love that... best i've got is about 400mb... is there any chance you could embellish the above a bit more and give us a bit more detail of what you did please?
Thanks!

Great Thanks!
That is a big list! Just what I asked for. Thanks

Just for info, I found that by typing 'disable vista services' into Google.
Google really is your best friend.
Lots of people I know think that I know everything about computers - I don't (yet ) but I do know that Google knows all. All you need to know is how to ask the question.
There is an excellent tutorial on getting the best from Google here.
note - I'm not having a dig at anyone with this post, just thought some might find the info useful.

I guess you're right...
Thx for googling for me.

HTTP-Tunnel for Android akin Proxycap

Hi,
I´m a HTC Touch HD User, but now I want to move to Android (HTC Desire).
I live in Germany and my provider is Vodafone and the sold me a wap Flatrate. My English is not perfect but I hope you can help me anyway.
To use my Blackstone with Internet I have to do some settings. In my HTC Touch HD I have to set my connections like this:
Settings--Connections--Connections--Advanced--Select Networks--New
First I have to add a new modem:
Access point name: wap.vodafone.de
Then I have to use "IP header compression"
Secondary I have to set my Proxy Setting like this:
Type: HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP and Socks to 139.7.29.1:80
Additional to this, I have to use Proxycap from proxycap.com
For the perfect working I have to set proxycap like this:
Proxies--Add new proxy...:
Type: HTTPS
Host: 139.7.29.1
Port: 80
Rules--Add new rule...:
Name: xyz (for example)
Type: Tunnel through proxy
Proxy: 139.7.29.1:80
Transports: TCP
Only with this settings I can use nearly all things on my HTC Touch HD (except the twitter-tab but it doesn´t matter).
Now my question. Is there an alternative program to Proxycap on Android? Or can I set Android to use a HTTPS tunnel?
I now my English is bad but I hope you understand my question and you can help me.
Best regards
dergago

you can easily fiddle your apn settings out of this huge apn list that comes from cyanogen and is implemented like this into gaosp open source project for samsung galaxy

And how/where can I fiddle this?
Sorry, perhaps my English is too bad but didn´t understand what you mean.
Do I have to root my device to use this "trick"?
EDIT: OK, I found Cyanogenmod.com Can I use this MOD for the HTC Tattoo/Click? It´s the device of my girlfriend. And is it possible that this will not work wit the Desire (my next device)?
I don´t know if these questions are stupid but I´m new on Android. WinMobile isn´t much easier for me.

sorry, i did not read your post carefully at first, and after posting the forum stopped me from changing my post since i newly registered...
this is only the apn settings for vodafone, but if you need to setup a tunnel i can not help you since i dont know about that...

I am also looking for something akin to Proxycap, for Android.
...
The APN settings don't look like they have the key to this. Am I to create a new XML tag for each app that needs to go through the proxy?

Can you show me a good link, that show me how I can create XMLs for the TATTOO & DESIRE?

what can be done is using a proxy and iptables to direct traffic. I have been trying to get this working but I am not able to get apps for linux compiled for arm. I have tried to compile u2nl for android which with iptables will route traffic through a proxy all traffic. If anyone has information on how to make this run on android would love to hear.

Just search the market for a program called APN Backup & Restore. MAKE SURE you backup your APN's (twice!) so that when you mess with it, and your phone loses all cell phone signal, you can DELETE then RESTORE APNs! (don't just restore, without deleting, because it adds them all together).

Ok, thank you.
So is it right, there is no App with nearly the same function as Proxycap for Android?

I have another question:
Can I use my Router to tunnel exerything through 139.7.29.1:80, when I´m using a vpn-connection?
And how can I set a VPN tunnel to my router?
I hope you understand my English!

No ideas? I will get my Desire in 3 days and no idea, how I can use it with my Wap Fatrate.

I compiled u2nl for arm/android. In the USA people are using Verizon's Motorola Droid on carriers that require you to use an http proxy. Obviously the phone isn't meant to work that way but it is working good for people with u2nl. The main drawback is that they need to use iptables which isn't available unless your phone is rooted or if you are using a custom rom.
I can't post a link because my account here is new. I can give you the link if you PM me.

White Rabbits u2nl can be downloaded from his site:
