1. IS YOUR WILDFIRE (buzz) ROOTABLE..?
Rooting is the process with which one can have superuser previlages. And custom recovery is needed for installing custom roms. The present popular custom recovery for wildfire buzz is ClockWorkMod recovery. CWM custom recovery helps us to make advanced things like installing custom roms, nandroid backups, advanced nandroid restores..
Presently every wildfire can be rooted along with installing custom roms. If your hboot is 0.80 then unrevoked is the way to root your phone. Unrevoked roots your stock Rom along with installing custom recovery so that you can install custom roms. And if your hboot is 1.01.x you need to use alpharevx for making it s-off and then you can root and install custom recovery with easy procedures.
** If ur device is htc bee, the above things will not be applicable to u. And sorry, i heard that there is no custom recovery for htc bee. So, u cannot install custom roms.
2. CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS: (includes features + bugs + fixes)
Basic ways of connectivity is through USB, BLUETOOTH, WIFI
Wildfire bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate, A2DP, FTP, OPP, AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile.
Wanna learn something about BT profiles, go with wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profiles
a. BLUETOOTH DIAL UP NETWORKING (dun)
This is for tethering the mobile 2G/3G internet to a bluetooth enabled pc. Wildfire doesn’t natively have the DUN profile. But some applications emulate this profile. “Pdanet” is best application for this. It works both on rooted phones and unrooted phones. Regarding using BT DUN, the pc version of pdanet need not be installed. But pdanet had issues with some bluetooth drivers of pc (for example, it wont work with the latest bluesoleil drivers). Sorry i cant tell u the list with which it works, maybe that's what the users must post. Another application called “easy tether” is expected to support BT DUN in future. So check for its updates if u r intrested. Easy tether presently supports usb tethering to pc.
b. BLUETOOTH PERSONAL AREA NETWORKING (pan)
This is for tethering mobile 2G/3G internet to a bluetooth enabled pc. But unlike dun, this doesn’t need to edit some settings in pc connection. Its just like internet sharing through LAN. Wildfire doesn’t natively have the PAN profile. Presently there are ROOT ONLY APPS for this feature. “wireless tether” is the application for both wifi tethering and bluetooth pan tethering. U need to enable bluetooth pan in its settings for using this feature. One more requirement of "wireless tether" is u should have a custom kernel which supports netfilter. This works great on cm7 rom.
c. WIFI hotspot tethering:
This is the tethering of mobile internet to PC over WIFI. This is present as a default feature in stock froyo. It isn’t there in eclair. If u want to use root only apps “wireless tether” also works here as said above. There is
d. USB TETHERING:
This is included as an inbuilt feature. The only thing is it takes a couple of minutes to establish a connection. Just u need to install htc usb driver or htc sync in the windows pc to make this work (no need of drivers in linux). Pdanet also works great(also need to install desktop version of pdanet to connect). It establishes connection in 15sec. Pdanet desktop version is a 14day full functional trial version. After 14days, the limitation will be, “u cannot access secure websites (websites which require login)". Another application is "easy tether" which also works with limitation (its lite version blocks secure websites). An advantage in using application for usb tethering is, u can use the mobile simultaneously as a disk drive.
e. REVERSE USB TETHERING:
what i mean by that word is, "using the computers internet connection to the phone via usb". U must have root access. There is a process which worked for google nexus one and im just giving the link. Hope it (works or) helps someone to acheive that in wildfire. http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html#comment-form
f. BLUETOOTH FTP [FILE TRANSFER + STREAMING] :
there is an application called "Bluetooth File Transfer". I recommend this for file transfer and streaming over BT. Actually there are other file managers which transfer files over BT but they limit the file types. This "Bluetooth File Transfer" allows u to access any files in a computer or another device (the things to be accessed depends on BT shared folder on other device). Also it can send any file type to other device. And also, this application allows u to stream the music and video files on the other device. Streaming depends on the file types supported by "Streaming Media Player" and also depends on the BT data transfer rate (around 200KBPS only).
g. FILE SHARING THROUGH WIFI:
There is an app called "File Share" (by Nav Jagpal) which can transfer files using wifi network .There is also a root only app called "Samba Filesharing" with which u can access the memory card of wildfire as a network shared folder in windows pc. Use drag and drop to copy files to and from..... Pls post the result if u have checked these things.
h. CONNECTING TO WIFI AdHoC NETWORK:
U need to have root access to use this. Go with this link for the setup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8201393&postcount=5
i. BLUETOOTH A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) :
This distributes the media audio of wildfire to another device, like a bluetooth headset or a bluetooth pc (played through pc speakers) with advanced audio [remember wildfire cannot receive the audio distributed by another device. Wildfire only distributes its media audio]. To use this, just pair (first enable the BT advanced audio feature in PC BT driver and then pair) the devices and then in wildfire, go to BT settings / devices, long press the device name and go to options. Then check the "Media" checkbox and press connect. As it is a dedicated profile, it does not depend on the bitrate of media file. I have used this with 3 simultaneous music players. *** And the same process works with headset profile, where u can have call functions through BT PC with headset profile or a BT heasdset. U need to just check the "Phone Audio" checkbox.
3. SUGGESTING APPS:
Just suggesting some apps with a little info. And donot use many app/task/process managers as they slow down the system.
--"160by2 - Free SMS" is a text sms sending app using mobile internet (in supported countries only).
--"Android Assistant" - has lot of features like quick boost, process manager, cache cleaner, system clean, batch uninstall, file manager, startup manager.
--"APP 2 SD" (by Sam Lu) - lists the apps that can be moved to sd card (by froyo default apps2sd). batch moving
--"AppBrain AppMarket" + "Best AppsMarket" -search apps and filter apps. U need to enable fast web installer.
--"App Protector" - protects ur favourite apps with a password or pattern.
--"Astro File Manager" - has file manager + process manager + app backup.
--"Daily Horoscope" - nice app for horoscope believers only.
--"Dolphin Browser" - available in 3 formats mini, normal, HD. the hd has many addons and is not recommended for slow connections.
--"Dropbox" - online storage of ur personal files in a secure dropbox account.
--"Droid Meter" - displays the data transfer rate (U + D) on the home screen or n the menu.
--"File locker" (by Marcin Wojas) - lock ur personal files with a specific password.
--"Heyzap" - android gaming community.
--"IMDb Movies & TV" - internet movie database.
--"Moon + Reader" - an ebook reader which can read online and offline files. Also downloads ebooks.
--"QR Droid" -an app that decodes qr images. Also has many other functions.
--"Shazam" - what an app..! It hears to the audio from external source and gives the media details (using mobile internet).
--"SMS Backup & Restore" - it backs up (+ restore) the text messages to sd card to be saved as xml format.
--"Swype" - a better and a faster text input method.
--"X-plore" - nice file manager with many inbuilt features.
MEDIA PLAYERS: for playing music, "TTPOD" is an app which has the features of lyrics and album art picture download. For both music and video, u have the players "Real Player" and "Double Twist Player". double twist paid app has the feature of air sync.
Then for playing videos, "Rock Player" will be nice. It has optimised CPU variant versions, so download the arm v6 version from its website. Another player "MoboPlayer" will also be nice, and it has seperate codec support. Wildfire can also play the videos slightly greater than the QVGA resolution (previously it didn't).
USER INTERFACE: If u like sense widgets, then u will be most probably using htc sense. But if u have an idea to keep htc sense aside, then "Launcher Pro" will be the nice option for u right now. It has great features with great performance. great transistion effects, 3D app drawer, scrollable widgets, smoother scrolling, no lag etc.., explore its settings. The other apps u can consider next to it are "ADW Launcher" , "Go Launcher EX" , "Regina 3D Launcher". Have a look at regina 3d launcher once. If wildfire had gpu, then it might be the prefered one.
4. SUGGESTING GAMES:
Wildfire, with no GPU and QVGA resolution makes gaming horrible. However there are games that can be played decently. As there are already threads created, i will not focus much on this. But i will try to make it somewhat better.. LINKS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824589 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997860
a. LIGHT GAMES: -- "Droid Jump" , "Diamond Islands 2" , "Traffic Jam" , "Yoo Ninja". droid jump is a nice smooth game using sensor (The game ending should be told by the highest scorer).
b. HEAVY GAMES: maybe playable or laggy or unplayable
--"Angry birds" , "Angry birds Seasons" , "Angry birds Rio" -the legendary android games. All of these can now be playable even on stock roms. Their performance is now better than it was before.
--"Asphalt3: street rules": an older version game unavailable in market. somewhat laggy.
--"Armageddon Squadron": too laggy
--"Reckless Racing": - laggy
--"Skyforce" playable
--"Super KO Boxing 2": paid app. needs additional game data to be downloaded to sd card. Playable
--"Wave blazer": too laggy. may expect performance improvements.
c. EMULATOR GAMES: U will be definately more satisfying with emulator games. Only negative point is their controls (even though playable).
-- go to the market and download "Gameboid" , "Nesoid" , "SNesoid" , "Emulator Game List" , "Rom Gripper". Previously, "Rom Gripper" is a freeware in the market. Rom Gripper lists all the game emulator roms and downloads the roms to ur phone. Present rom gripper has issues with downloading roms, so check its reviews before purchasing. The "Emulator Game List" does the same thing as rom gripper except downloading (it just lists the roms). U can alternatively download the roms by googling. The Gameboid , Nesoid , SNesoid are the android game emulator engines which play the emulator roms. There will be many nice and cool emulator games. Im not gonna make a list bcoz, it will be in thousands....
please donot ask/post WAREZ. It is against the forum rules (rule 6).........
AND PLS DONOT FORGET TO LEAVE UR COMMENT.........
Ok done and will be updated regularly.
Due to some limitations, i cant check every application working in the thread. Pls let me know if u find any differences.
And pls donot forget to leave ur comment.....
Good to see all the things at a place. Thanks

Just to make et clear: you can't root your wildfire just using software.
The XTC clip gives you S-off (security-off), wich is ten times better than just root-access, but it is something you must pay for (hardware)..
For unlucking your device with the XTC clip there are three options:
1. google for it and buy one
2. google for somebody in your neighbourhood and ask him if he wants to unluck your device (usualy much cheeper than buying the clip yourself). You can search for those people here on xda forum as well
3. Wait for the so-called XTC CLIP PAY AS YOU GO (PAYG). it is a cheeper solution in where you can use the clip only once and you have to reload by buying credits. This third solution isn't ready for sales yet, but it shouldn't take long.
For more information about the xtc clip payg:
forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/37190
You find more information about rooting and S-off there as well!

Perhaps let HTC know via a customer mail or something like that. They must get more and more signals that they should open up there bootloader, or people will go to other devices.
Good luck with your new phone!

Hi All,
I am looking for someone to help create .apk for Android boxes.
This will be an ongoing partnership as we will update the apk with regular update every month which should automatically show on clients box.
If you think you are the right person and have time on your hands to create apk please let us know.
I would also like to know about how the firmwares can be altered on android boxes.
If you have hands on customised XBMC and other live streaming links we would like to create them as well within the apk and XBMC. Preference given to developers who have worked and developed something unique and have ideas of developing something new!
The main thing I am after is creating 1 or max of 3 files which will
1. Root the android box
2. Install the new apk file/firmware
3. Install the customised XBMC with our logo, etc.
I am looking at a quick option to connect android box with computer and run the files to achieve the above points.
Looking for a favourable reply.

Hey everybody,
I've got an unidentified android headunit installed in my car,
I've been trying to figure out what brand it is ,and if possible i'll update to Kitkat.
Up until now, it seems to look like Icartech s730, but there are few differences between them.
I've searched on the internet few like the MCU version and the kernel version, but I've got nothing out of it.
here are the details:
Uboot version v00.01.13
Kernel version V24.02.25 20140930
OS version Android-4.1.1 V1.01.75
MCU Version V0.60B
I've also attached a photo, there are 4 soft keys (eject, back, home and volume), and a USB port underneath them.
Thanks
have the same
Hello
i have the same head unit & its Symphony SYD-70 BTWi
but as you said it has nothing on the internet related
& the icartech is the one that looks exactly like it with the look difference only
and i bought it from Egypt
I can not find anything on line about that system
where I bought it they say that it is called "TARGET U-1001" (some call it "i-1001" or "android i-1001)
got it as "closed system"- can't install apps. google play is not shown on screen
when I open the browser on this device and going t google play, it starts downloading apps but refuses to install.
does any one know how to hack it so it will be more useful ?
please contact me : [email protected]

I don't have any charge issues. Just limited functionality. And I haven't had any luck transferring files via Bluetooth. I can link the watch to my Samsung S8 phone, share a file via Bluetooth from the phone, but the transfer always fails. I don't know if it's me, the phone or the watch.

Did you accept the file transfer at the watch? You have to pull down the notification area and have to accept the file transfer.

It won't run on my Samsung Galaxy S8 either.
I hope someone figures out how to install the Google Play Store app on the watch. Aptoide is difficult to use for me.
Also, I noticed that when installing an app, the Install and Cancel buttons are almost not visible at the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to scroll/drag the screen?
Many of the icons are too small for my fingers. Is there a small stylus available anywhere that works with the watch? I installed Chrome so a stylus would help with using that as well.

There are new Versions of the Apps, for watch and Phone. Take a look at
my Postst #2, give them a try. For me it's working now.
Hello Backers,
The first software update is now available and it focuses on the data transfer between the watch and your smartphone app. For those that were having issues with the app and data transfer we’ve updated the software to allow for a better experience for transferring photos from the watch to your phone.
Cloud update services are not available at this time but please follow these simple instructions to update your watch:
1. Enable Bluetooth on smartwatch & phone.
2. Connect them with eachother.
3. Enable the installation from unknown source on your watch. (settings > security > unknown source)
4. Download http://arrowsmartwatch.ml/ on your computer.
5. Once the APK is on your computer, share it via Bluetooth to your Arrow Smartwatch. (if you don’t know, just google how to share files with Bluetooth, it’s very easy)
6. Once you’ve pressed the sharing button, you’ll have to accept the file on your watch.
(Swipe down from the top of your Arrow screen, to open the notification bar. Now press on the Bluetooth notification and hit the accept button.)
7. Now go to the file manager and search the Bluetooth folder.
8. The APK is in that folder. It’s labelled Arrow2
#9 is for ANDROID users only and this is your new Arrow Smartphone App. Please download from the following link.
9. Download this on your Android phone http://arrowsmartphone.ml/
This watch update was tested by a few beta testers within the backer community with good results. It should allow many of you that were having trouble to start transferring photos and videos from the watch to your phone. The next planned update will focuses on connectivity, apps and notifications.
As for the remaining Arrow inventory we continue to wait for Chinese customs to give us an answer on the status of our units. They said Chinese New Year would create a delay of up to a month or two so we will post an additional update soon outlining the details of this extremely frustrating and prolonged ordeal. Our goal remains to ship all remaining units to backers as soon as this custom issue is cleared.
Inquiries about the above can be sent to [email protected] as this is our primary contact method.

Thanks! Is this a new version of the OS? Or a customized version?
Hii! Not sure if people are still using the watch.. I took it out last week and again remembered why I packed it back. The battery drain is just insane!
Was anyone able to get a different OS version installed on the watch,,? Is it even possible? What are this risks?
What are my options to experiment?
Since updating to Android Pie, apps need user confirmation when changing system settings like turning on bluetooth.
This defeats the purpose of automating processes with apps like tasker.
Had been looking for the solution on the web for a while and had not found any posts providing a solution.
I saw others with similar problems, but no solution that worked.
I found a solution and want to share it here.
The issue can be resolved in the following manner.
You need to give the specific app permission to write system settings.
Go to Settings>Apps>Apps.
Press the three dots at the top right.
Special Access>Write System Settings
Search for the app (e.g. Tasker)
Activate the setting for the app.
When the app activates Bluetooth, it will no longer ask for user confirmation.
Hope this helps people out there.

Hi in my case it doesn't work.
Honor 8 pro with Android 9.0.1.161, using an NFC tag that turns Bluetooth on or off, using the "NFC Task" app, whenever the system displays a screen with the text "NFC task wants to enable / disable bluetooth" and two choices "allow" or "refuse".
Steps dont work in my Huawei Y9 2019, with Android 9.01, any other suggestion?, write access settings are ON for all the apps that needs bluetooth, but bluetooth keeps asking the same, aprove or deny...
Same here, Mate 20 X. Had this already turned on.
