[Q] Two Questions - Wifi Tether and Default SMS in Froyo

So I've finally jumped in and taken a Froyo updated rom (latest Midnight rom.) I have a couple concerns though:
1. Wifi Tether - On 2.1 I used MobileAP for Infrastructure wifi tethering capabilities and 4g speeds. What is the standard to use with Froyo? What about USB tethering? I refuse to pay 40 bucks for something I'll rarely use, but should be able to when necessary. Any and all recommendations that will allow me to get USB and Wifi tethering, preferably at 4g speeds, are welcome.
2. SMS Program - On 2.1 I had the option to go into applications and "clear default" for messaging so I could set Handcent as my default messenger program whenever I clicked the messaging link on my homescreen dock. This option seems greyed out on 2.2. How can I change it so Handcent is my default? It's pretty annoying to have to go into the link to clear out the number of new messages recieved in both programs.
Thanks and I look forward to your responses.

For handcent, if your using touchwiz, open app drawer, hit menu>edit then drag Messaging out of the dock, and replace it with handcent. The reason its grayed out, is because handcent is still default. Hope this helps.
Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G

1. Wifi tether is the only infrastructure available on froyo
the are the 3.0.0 versions here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount
They are experimental so make sure you have a backup either nandroid or inportant info and apps in titanium
u may have to try different pre versions as everyone has different needs depending on whether you epic likes a version better then someone elses or your rom likes certain things.
Another not about wifi tether on 4g start wifi tether in 3g first then switch on 4g
Wired tether can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964925&highlight=wired+tether or on the code google site... u said you were on the midnight rom so you should have a compatible kernal with that
2.
To make a messaging service default: the easiest way is:
1. Goto contacts
2. select message
3. then select make defauly box when it ask you what service you want to use (stock or handcent)
4. Click handcent and you set
Hope this helps..

Very good information from both of you. I wasn't aware you could replace icons on the touchwiz drawer until you pointed it out, thanks! It's just too bad the Handcent icon won't show how many new messages I've recieved. That would be truly epic. Anybody know a way to do that?
And thanks for the links to wireless tether and wired tether. I've installed wireless tether, I'll try them out when I get home.

Nevermind, I just went with Launcher Pro instead of TW.

Installed the Purity ROM - Can no longer edit APN settings

Hey all.
I installed my first ROM the other day and I chose the latest version of Purity.
Unfortunately, I am unable to edit my APN settings to enable my mobile Internet and I can't delete the APNs that are currently on the list.
I did try to post in the ROM's thread, but I'm unable to voice my concern and troubleshoot on there because of the new user restriction on the forum.
Any help at all would be greatly received because this is really just making me want to go back to stock Android. It has essentially made huge parts of my phone useless.
Thanks in advance!

Yep. That's the single bug that keeps me from going to Purity. I even added in a new APN and it kept switching back to the default.

I really wish I had known that before I installed. It doesn't say anywhere from the developer that there is this bug, and hardly anyone acknowledges someone who brings it up. Looks like I'm switching again... Thanks for getting back to me.

If someone ask me why I don't want that my work is used, it means that you don't know xda rules so here i report the #12 that explain the sharing policy for both rom and kernel.
Cyanoid kernel is for cyanoid rom only.
XDA Rule #12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the developer decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use, albeit with the relative credit displayed.
In regard to permissions, the same rules apply for this but if permission was already given and unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

wifi tethering really works? impressive I don't think anyone's fixed that yet on ICS for this device or is there some other workaround that I don't know about? also wow I never seen a installer with a custom gui/touchscreen controls like this this is pretty cool. love the installation percentage meter too!
ok super brief testing theres a bug on first boot the back to home button won't work at all but restarting the phone fixes that.
and a continuous bug that seems to be on all custom roms I've tried whenever I use my Amaysim brand sim card on a custom rom it says the carrier is "Yes Optus" which is the owner of the network im on but they resell to Amaysim and so Amaysim's name should be coming up but since it isn't or for some other reason the APN fields are blank and trying to add to it, it won't save a APN so I can't get any mobile data at all. Phone calls and Texts will still work oddly.
But if I use this same sim card on my phone with stock gingerbread I can get data and it will say Amaysim as my carrier weird problem right?
If I use another simcard that's not Amaysim like Telstra (different operator) it works fine and mobile data will work.
Interesting rom I'll keep testing.

I always clear Dalvik cache before installing a new rom but still the home key wouldn't work but all I did was restart/reboot and that fixed it.
Very cool if I get that APN/carrier issue solved I'll try out the tethering.
thanks for your response.

I'll make a video for you tomorrow showing you what I mean.
I know how to save apns it's just after I click save it does nothing.
I don't think the carrier name is a problem I just think it's a symptom of something else being an issue. Yes there is a way to change the carrier name to whatever I want it to be but I doubt that'll allow me to start using mobile data.

Does that block you from using mobile data and are default apn settings showing up?
So since it's a Aosp setting any idea on how to fix it to enable data usage? seems weird how it's only occurring on some sims.

If by Aosp settings you mean Quick notifications panel settings for "change Carrier Label" yeah no that doesn't fix the APN issue.
Here I took a video for you It shows my Amaysim Sim card going in but Shows Yes Optus and no ability to save an APN or use Data.
and it shows I can use a vodaphone sim with mobile data and it has default apn already on it. no clue why one works and the other doesn't
anyway heres the video youtube should be cutting out the shaky-ness of it but if you catch it too soon you see it all shaky sorry about that.

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended

New Update With Few Tips & Hotspot Mod {CRL2}

Hey All,
I had to update this thread a little it was pretty terrible on wording and full details. (Sorry About That)
The current hotspot hack still works on this new update too which is now CRL2.
You still need to add dun but it will look like this example below....
Ex: default,mms,dun,xcap,supl << Credits to whoever found this out first I just applied it to here and it works I’m currently using it now for this post :fingers-crossed::good:
*In order to edit your APN you will have to download Quick Shortcut App from the Play store*
Another thing if you didn’t know Good Lock is out and working perfectly too with new clock options and custom pulldown options that you can set to your liking.
*I added screenshots to help set what I set or how my good lock looks.*

they was added by sprint in the newest update
it was not like this before the update
XCAP is a protocol which enables a user configuring his service data (e.g., modifying a call forwarding number, changing his barring services) on the Multimedia Telephony Application Server (MTAS). The XCAP flow is typically carried over the default bearer of the Internet APN.
SUPL is a technology which utilizes existing standards where available and possible, to transfer assistance data and positioning data over a User Plane bearer, such as IP, to aid network and SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) based positioning technologies in the calculation of a SET's position
