Hi,
is there a way to extract the htc Wifi Hot spot app from Evo4g shipped rom? the rom has been released today here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
I'm not really into the rom modding, apk creation and app porting but if anyone more capable can look into it that'd be awesome
Thanks in advance, i'm really missing this feature from my old touch hd~
I have extracted, de-odexed and signed the apk. It installed successfully but i get FC if i launch the app. Unfortunately my skills end here, i dont even know how to get app crash logs and stuff, and chances are i wouldnt know what do to with them even if i had them .
It is also possible that the hotspot app is somehow bound to WCDMA protocols and ****..
I'm attaching the apk if someone more skilled than me is interested in taking a look
Nice that's something, atleast you try'd
Nice thread. Hope you can get some help from others.
On this occassion, have you tried perhaps the video app, it supports 720p.
One more thing, the EVO4 has a different kind of Snapdragon than Desire, this could be the cause of force close.
They're not that different, the Evo4G snapdragon is just a new revision with WCDMA support, probably there's more stuff to port, maybe some library in the rom.
We've to read the error log to figure that out

The EVO does not support WCDMA!
EVO supports CDMA (3G) and WiMAX (4G) - WCDMA is part of the GSM standard upon which HSDPA is implemented, and the EVO is most emphatically not a GSM phone.
Regards,
Dave
I can see how people would get confused though, what with the GSM Forum calling their 3G standard WCDMA - I appreciate that it's a description of how it works, but it was bound to create confusion regarding the existing (and totally unrelated) CDMA standards.

As some of you know, all Captivate ROMs are Flawed by AT&T, but have Audience chip.
If not my passion to use all the features of the device i have, i would go to JS3, or some other ROM.
But I need a feature to Select 2G, 2G/3G, 3G modes in Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators.
Can anyone teach me how to mix APKs or can do this for me?
I am already looking to differences in de-compiled APKs, but i see i might, and will, make errors.
Also i feel like i have a bad knowledge about Signing process of APKs....
Anyone to help?
Good luck with that. Really not sure how that works or if it works at all. But you can use this program to sign your apks's with. Hope that helps.

Anyone ever tried to edit phone.apk smali's for normal network selection screen?
Mix them. See what you get. Don't forget to include PhoneUtil.apk as well. If it doesn't work then you ll most probably need framework change and audio libs replaced too. But if the audio libs are not compatible with the rest of the system then... theres not much you can do. Why don't you just wait till the audience driver is implemented in i9000 kernels/roms?
Why don't wanna wait? Cos it requires not only porting a kernel, but also modding Phone*.apk and libs too to i9000 rom

A lot of us are anxiously awaiting for this but I'm not sure how much effort is actually being made for it. If I were a DEV it would probably be number one for me now as IMO this will be a huge accomplishment. I know icezar definitely has the smarts to do it. But people not is the USA that has never experianced the chip's call quality do not know what they are missing.

No, the fact that it is only available on the AT&T version of the captivate.
Hm... Okay, but why people HERE using the captivate don't wanna port those features to i9000 roms?
First, in order to get the audience chip to work you must use the KB1 modem.
First and foremost, that kills HSUPA, which in my opinion helps data to the point of screw the audience chip.
But, to continue, if you use a KB1 Modem / kernel with an i9000 ROM, the audience chip is enabled by default, and will function you just cannot turn it off. Since the software for i9000 is unaware of this feature the kernel never turns it off, thus the modem uses it and you get the benefit, but with NO HSUPA.
So I suppose the bottom line is that if you want that audience chip, you may as well stick with stock or simply use cognition. Cog is the best of both worlds imo, as far as "fixed from ATT stock broken" and added features.
For me, I dismissed the audience chip long ago in favor of HSUPA..
but with NO HSUPA.

Hi,
I am currently a Milestone (running CM7) owner and am looking to transition to a faster more modern phone.
I don't like the "feel" of the Desire Z and REALLY need a slide out keyboard.
Here go a few "basic" questions that am hoping the regulars here can answer.
1)
Has anybody heard of plans for a MS2 that works on the 850/1900 3G+ bands typically used by ATT/Rogers/Telus/Bell in North America (and a few other providers around the world. I would even accept rumors at this point...
I don't want to end up with EDGE connectivity on an imported phone.
2)
What is the state of ROMs and Devs for this phone. I could not find much in the dev section. Is anything available? Is anything secretly in the works?
3) Are people happy with the "feel" and build quality of the phone? I am pretty rough on my devices so I need something solid (Gorilla glass and solid keyboard are NECESSARY).
Thanks
1. I think ppl in Brazil are on 850/1900 3G+ type bands and they are able to use 3G on this phone, so I believe the answer should be yes.
Though some1 from that region (or some1 using this phone in US) can confirm..
2. There is one custom ROM right now: Argen2Stone by santiemanuel. You can check about it in dev section. mikevhl and owain are trying to build another ROM. Plus we had some initial interest from Angdroid for Fission but haven't had any updates from him of late.
3. I'm pretty happy with the build quality of the phone (it ain't light though, but then thats what makes the feel solid and sturdy). There are no scratches on my phone screen till now and I have been using it for almost four months and I don't use any covers for it.
Hope thats of some use..

I will check out the local carriers in brazil and am greatly reassured about build quality. My MS1 is heavy but, like you said, that is the reason i love it.

Plus there is a baseband switcher app (i.e. if you are planning to purchase the phone from say Europe) which switches the baseband from 900/1800 to 850/1900 and vice versa.
It is available on this forum in the dev section as well.

Really? Are you certain what this app does? To my knowlege, motorola does not include the hardware to do this, except on PRO versions of phones. On the Milestone 1, such apps are used to switch euro roms to north american baseband...but not euro phones to north american 3g.
But my Q9h pro used to work in this way, so i will take a look. Thxx for the tip.

I believe it won't work with 3G on T-mobile.. That uses 1700 base AWS for GSM. The baseband app only switches between 900/1800 and 850/1900.. Those are the radios that Milestone 2 has I guess..
Thats the extent of my knowledge.
This is pretty sweet if true. I could not find the app in the dev section, but i am now on vacation and have limited time for research.
I dont need tmo...just something thhat gives me 3g or more on ATT and Rogers.

can somr trick the phone to think the 3g is wifi
3g and wifi is a whole different thing. you cant do that
I could have sworn that the iPhone has an app that can do that. My co-worker uses it to download things that require wifi while still on his 3g connection.
Comparing an android to an iphone is like comparing an ice cream cake to a cookie. They have some common ingredients, but are completely different.

There's been some discussion in this thread about issues with LTE and GPS.
1) Turn off LTE
2) Leave LTE off
3) Stop obsessing with LTE
Seriously tho, why does everyone have a hardon for LTE?

Its the same reason for why the other things in 4.2.2 don't work with the old radios, the device isn't supposed to have LTE, Google purposely broke things to stop you from using it.

Bro sometimes u seem like a big advocate of restrictions.
There is always a fix especially in the developing world of Android, it's just nobody has bothered because many areas don't have LTE or because whoever is using a fix, didn't make it public. Period.
Who gives a **** what the phone is "supposed to have" what it does have is a band-4 LTE chip. PERIOD.
Hardware is hardware.
"Oh hey I have a lambo with 500hp which is governor at 120kmh max speed, because you're not supposed to drive over the speed limit." - I'm sorry but in this case people would remove the governor and drive faster.

You're right, except that the problems are in closed source modules, if you want to try your hand at hex editing them and fixing the problems, go ahead, otherwise you should use the phone as it was designed or live with the problems that come with using it in a way it wasn't designed.
I need a lot of help. I went to this place and got my phone flashed but I guess they decided they would just stop after getting my epic flashed over with just talk and text. I want web and mms and I'm not even sure where to start to get it. I looked at a bunch of threads but it doesn't seem as though they apply. If anybody can help me out it would be greatly appreciated cause otherwise this phone is useless and I just paid a lot of money for it :/
I'm pretty sure metro nixed data for flashed phones when TMo bought them out a few weeks ago. There was a thread floating around here with some temp fixes, but none of them stuck.

Not sure where the above info is from but.. I have a flashed Epic 4G and my girl has a Nexus S 4G both flashed to Metro PCS and we get 3G and 1x data on our phones.. The only thing we don't get is working MMS(texting pics).. Everything else works fine..
She is on stock JellyBean from the Sprint Update and I am running CM10 official.
Just wondering when Metro nixed data on flashed phones?
The merger with T mobile isn't 100% yet from what I have read as the good ole government was sticking their nose in for some issue or another.. Even if it is/was official they don't merge till 2013..
Hope this helps

It looks like the original poster in that thread got his 3g to start working after flashing a different rom or the one he first used.. I talked with the guy who flashed my phone and he said he still flashes phones daily to Metro PCS and 3G data still works fine for everyone its just the MMS issue he can't get right on some phones. Maybe it just hasn't hit Michigan yet. I do know this though I have 2 sprint phones flashed to Metro PCS and they both get 3G data and the speeds are decent if I am in a decent area of coverage. On the flipside I have thought of going a different route like Virgin Mobile just for the better coverage area around me. Good luck to whatever you find out there. Shinydudes got a lot of good info on flashing the Eic to Virgin Mobile though so give that a try.

Thanks for the recommendation to the OP guys, its not everyday I get some sort of recognition for the guide. that reminds me, I need to re-update the guide's links, they go bad if nobody is actively downloading from it from time to time.
MetroPCS's 3G is blocked in some cities, although I do know it tends to work in others, early 2010, I had my phone flashed to metro before I got deep into programming phones, it got to the point where I reprogrammed it on my own in a state that did not even have metro, and still got it working with a couple tricks up my sleeve, I do recommend my Virgin Mobile guide if Sprint is a good coverage in your area.
Edit: OP, I just noticed that your Epic was metro without 3g or 1x, not even mms? That's terrible!
I cannot guarantee 3g will work in your city, but to my knowledge, the same key for 1x was for 3g (unaware if Tmobile's merger affected it.) I have the mms fix, as well as be able to head you in the right direction to get 1x working and hopefully 3g alongside! What you're looking for is DFS for programming, and the Metro SPC calculator, its an easy password Metro invented unique to each user calculated with their own math formula when you enter your esn. There should still be apps on the market that'll spit that code out for you, just search for metro spc calc, or something along those lines, if you can't find it, I'll look into my files and post the calculator. Also, the mms fix is an outdated script, so I would manually replace files in the root directory of the phone to get it working, it doesn't seem to want to stick on some phones, but it works.

it's what you need in order to add the spc code from the calculator to your phone, unless you have cdma workshop, which isn't free.

If you're running cyanogenmod, it's as simple as changing the apn-conf.xml, and your mms.apk.

It must be done from programming software, although you're just going to be making very few edits, and a change of prl, unless it's already a metro 3g prl, which in that case you'd toggle a setting in the software to avoid it getting pushed via a non-3g prl. This is all theorhetical that 3g will work, as I do not know if metro has blocked 3g in your area, but it will grant you 1x, and then mms with the right settings.
