First, I want to say thank you for all of the valuable tips I have received from this forum. Anyways, I have successfully rooted my hero and have deleted all of the bloatware that I did not want. I like how my hero is currently set up but I do want to add the wireless tether app. If someone could list the order of commands to push the app onto my phone I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
Copy the apk to your sd card and use app manager from the market to install.
From what I understand, the only way is to install a ROM. For whatever reason, simply installing the APK does not work.
I have not installed any other ROMs, I am only rooted and using the stock Sprint ROM that came with the phone. I found this link over at PPC Geeks yesterday and apparently the creator has updated it to work on a rooted Sprint ROM.
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk
I just installed it with HTC Sync and it works perfectly ;-)
Indeed it is as simple as downloading the app in the previous post and running it, in fact I am posting this right now while using the tether connection from my sprint hero (just rooted, no custom ROM).
help please
i have installed this app on my rooted htc sprint hero 2.1 android update 1 as recommended above and it shows on my ipad (iOs 4.3) but when i connect to it it says I am connected on the ipad but when I launch safari it says not connected to Internet. I did set a pass phrase of 13 digits on the app but the ipad never asked me for it. Then I tried it without encryption and I got the same error message.
I hope I am asking this in the right place and hope someone can help me. I am open to trying a different app if anyone has a better suggestion or any idea how to get ipad to tether to rooted hero? thanks for your help!
Wireless tether for root users.
Free in the market.

i believe that is the same as the link posted by "cold sweat" above because that's what I installed and not working.
No, it isn't. The one from the market is pretty much what everyone uses.

Mine is touch and go. Wireless tether only seems to work with certain kernels. I know on my moment kernels had to have netfilters enabled to work.

ok ill try and uninstall the tether i installed from link above and install from market. will let you know how that goes later on. will hope for the best!
Did your PC recognize the tether app as a network?
Did you give permissions in the app to the PC that is connecting?
i am not trying to tether to pc. i am trying to tether to ios 4.3 ipad. i did give permisions in the app to the ipad which is connectiing and it came up as green symbol in tray once i did. but that was using the older link for the tether app. I hope the newer one works better which is in the market.
thank you!! but 1 more question...

yeaaaaaaaaaaaa, that worked. I guess the android tether that was linked in this thread is an older version (14) than the one in the market. It works great now on the iPad. I did not go in and set a password, do you think that is a good idea? I have an unlimited data plan so not sure if it is even neccesary or a good idea to mess with the settings on the app.

You would still have to approve the device when it tries to connect....
ok then i wont change the settings for fear trying to fix something that is not broken could take an app which is working into not working lol. thanks again for all your help!
now that iam rooted is it possible to move apps to sd or would i need to get a custom rom? I am on stock 2.1 update 1 (rooted htc sprint hero)
You would need a rom that supports apps2sd. Word of advice, don't put apps with widgets you run on the sd card. They won't be found and you'll get the "problem loading widget" display.

I don't use apps2sd at all. Just don't like burning out and replacing my card all the time.
thanks to everyone for being so helpful to a newbie!!

Hey, I've finally got around to getting root access on the g1, I've got the multi touch which I think is pretty cool and auto rotate. What else could I do with my new found freedom? Getting apps to install to memory card is next on the list (will do it tonight if I can get my head around the instructions) but is there anything else I can do that's useful or any cool ? Also what can I do if I install debian, anything at this point? Think that's about it.. thans in advance.... dan
Themes, maybe. Give your G1 a unique look.
I'm sure you may have them already but download screenshot and task manager. I would definatly go for a theme, there are some really awesome ones out there. You can delete unwanted ringtones, alarms, notifications too like i did!
tether start
tether stop
making my phone a wireless modem/router was pretty much the whole reason i took root.
help with 4 really needed
1)im looking for theme but being a uk (rc8) user there doesnt seem to be much of a selection out there
2)ive not actually got screenshot will grab that and task manager
3)I was under the impresion the tethering wasnt too great and we wernt able to share the internet connection from the phone (to access everything at least) wirelessly or wired? Please correct me if Im wrong as this would be ace.
4)Im trying to install a custom boot image however im not able to get the androids with skates up (definatly had this earlier) yet the recovery images seems ok, have installed hard spl.. am a bit confused on this on, anyone able to help?
Cheers.
ok well i got the tethering done an im impressed does all i need it too.. shame its not secure but im not all that worried .
just incase anyone wants the instructions i found them here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/im-wirelessly-tethering-through-my-g1-11555/
yup my main reason for the root acces was themes and tether
Right I've managed to get a theme on here but I don't seem to have browser auto rotate or multi touch, anyone have any ideas? Cheers again
I'm new to all this too, and had the same thought immediately after getting root for the first time! One of the first things i did was put caches onto the sd card. If you are always getting low memory warnings than this will help! I followed THIS guide to do it.
I will try my first theme tonight after I charge up my phone.
I guess a question I have is, what are the benefits of adp 1.1 and Fastboot? Is it something that I should do or just something that I could do, if that makes any sense? Right now just putting JF's 1.41 rc30 on is a big enough deal, to give you an idea of where I am in regards with this scene right now.
Thanks!
Install HardSPL, it can come in handy if something goes wrong and you need it to flash boot screens.

If you install a new theme on JF 1.41 you will loose multitouch and autorotate. Here is a link to JF's browser.apk to fix your problem. hope this helps.

I think Sprint TV requires a bit more than that (network login) but let's hope you're right and we can all have TV in our T-Mobile
This has great new animations and a new larger people widget i was able to get my hands on one over the weekend i got a pic of the widget its our demo phone so i can't root it to take screens

That widget's been part of the chunghwa release for a while now and ported to some builds already. This dump is not odexed, so the widget can just be tossed into a regular hero rom and it should work (as long as it's framework version 2.73)
---edit---
nevermind, for some reason, my file manager was not showing odexes, they're all there

since the TV app requires the mobile connection (even makes you turn the wifi off!!), it's very likely that Sprint has their tv service blocked at a low network level with only certain source address ranges whitelisted
in other words, a workaround is probably pretty darn tough
maybe someone can work some iptables magic..?
Ya we gotta see if we can find a work around for the tv. The Sprint navigation also works.
well i gave the sprint widgets a shot on Cyanogen 4.1.999 Android 1.6 and at least the NFL MOBILE LIVE widget works... used a wifi connection, but installed via astro and it is like sports center in that btich... its greaT!!
scrolling marque of scores, living sprint voting polls, highlights per game, etc...
if you havent, enjoy, looks like these new dumps bring extra greatness to the android system!
Hay this is only my 2 cents worth cus I'm not A developer but I had both sprint tv(on my rasor no less) and 'MobTV' on my palm TX(via wifi). I understood that sprintTV was 'MobiTV'. however I just went to there web site and they don't list t-mobile or android as a sign up option.
again this is only what I've observed ( I would like to get TV on my G1, its one thing I miss from sprint but sprint didn't get android in time for me)
WiFi + BT on Sense UI.. yet??
Does this mean WiFi and Bluetooth are closer to being able to be implemented into a hero rom yet?? I recall reading that it will be much easier to implement once devs are capable of getting some sort of new dump. Or do we need to wait for an official dev rom upload comes out? Sorry for splattering ignorance in this thread!
The forum asked me to quit hosting links. But, http://beta.swype.com/ is supposed to be opened/opening up for everyone so have at a legit version!
The version many of us have been using was a trial (which expired this weekend for me), this one installed fine for me with ADB and isn't registering as expired.
The file WAS hosted on my dropbox. If you haven't experienced the awesomeness of dropbox signup! they have a top notch android app, and if you use this link http://bit.ly/cFX0i5 you can give me a 250mb space boost.
According to the swype version in the settings, this is the same one I am using, that I got off the internet. Works fine on my N1.
Thanks man, will try on my Moto Cliq then update later if it works.
Confirmed to work on the Cliq. Man it quicker than my physical keyboard. Thanks again.
Re: [APP] Swype 1.25.16.5612 HVGA
Thanks. Seems it was the version I was already using, but I couldn't remember where I got it from before.
Yea, Swype is amazing!

Anyone tried the NEW swype beta? Any way to get it for those not in the Beta program?
anywone has a dutch dictionairy for swype?
Thanks! I was looking for this ever since my trial ended. I'm addicted to swype o.o
I am part of the beta testing and received the email today. I installed it on my Sprint Hero. If you guys can tell me how to extract it from my phone. I will post it somewhere for everyone to get. I used Titanium backup to back up that app but it saved 3 files. A property file, tar file, and a weird apk.a file. I tried to rename that one but it didn't work. I am up for suggestions. Also tried to find it in root explorer and could not find the location.
Re: [APP] Swype 1.25.16.5612 HVGA
Forget it figured out how to get the apk file. Tried the apk on another phone but the swype abilities were disabled. Unless there is a way to bypass the app knowing its for another phone It won't work.

Let's just get it out of the way now, yes I'm a noob to android. My girlfriend has a motorola cliq and would love to have swype installed on her phone, however, being an HD2 owner I'm not all that savvy with android devices therefore am not sure how to install this prog on her phone. Could someone please help me (step by step) thanks in advance.
Install
Nevermind guys, after doing a quick google search I answered my own question. I now have an app installer via android marketplace and it works wonderfully. Swype is now installed and up and running on my girlfriends Motorola Cliq smoothly. Oh, I also wanted to thank the person who created this post regarding FREE SWYPE.

What kind of a phone do you have and what version of Swype did you install? I think it matters. I have a MyTouc 3G (rooted) and this version works very well, swiping and all.
Does this work for Milestone in landscape resolution?

Hi guys,
I just bought a new HTC inspire with froyo 2.2 from ATT in the US unlocked. Now I sent this phone to my bro in Peru, where he had a HTC aria without any problems.
Phone works great but we can not install skype. We can not even find it in the android market. I tried to download it from skype.com/m but I cant. It says (this item is not available in your carrier). However as I told you he has an HTC aria with the same phone carrier and uses skype there without a problem.
How can I fix this ????
Thanks

Have you tried turning off data and accessing the market through wifi only?
If the phone is rooted use market enabler not sure if works with unrooted ones, also try 4shared app from 4shared.com to find Skype apk, can have issues tho until u download the right apk for ur device
Problem fixed!
I had Skype up and running on my Android, but my phone's hardware died and went to Hades. I received a replacement phone; when I tried to re-load Skype, I found it didn't even show up on the Android Market! I tried other application download engines, as well as the download link from Skype.Com, all with the same result.
After hours of agonizing with Skype and Sprint tech support, and getting nowhere, I spent about 7 hours reviewing, over and over, my Android's settings. I finally resolved it thus:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Choose "Settings."
3. Change the "Content Filtering" maturity rating to "Medium."
And that's it! I don't understand why Skype requires a slightly immoral maturity rating, since the app is positively "G" rated, and I've already complained to them about that.
Good luck!
I have a Tmobile MyTouch 4G Slide rooted with Bulletproof Blue 61X. I will admit I am rather ignorant to this "rooted" smartphone stuff, but I do have a few issues:
1. Mainly, GOOGLE SEARCH DOES NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE!! I even downloaded the google search widget and that doesn't work either!! I type in what I'm searching, tap the screen or hit enter, NOTHING HAPPENS. The Tmobile quick lookup icon doesn't work, when I hit enter, I get the "The application Quick Lookup has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" window. I cannot connect to the internet at all, yet my facebook app works.
I just bought this phone from someone and I'm ready to track them down and get my money back!!
2. I cannot set up any other email on my phone other than Gmail. Once again the set up icon doesn't work either. I hit the "other email account" button, absolutely nothing happens!
3. I also have issues with certain widgets that were functional on my previous my touch
I contacted T-Mobile and was told that software version 1.28.531.9 is the problem. How do I change this when the phone won't connect to the web to receive the update?
PLEASE HELP...I am utterly frustrated.
First off don't talk to tmobile about a rooted phone, they're cluless. Without bothering to trouble shoot everything the quick fix is to just wipe fully and flash a new rom
Sent from my SGH-T839 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you, so basically I can restore the phone to its original version? The Tmobile rep actually called HTC for me, the HTC rep was the one who informed us that the software version 1.28.531.9 was problematic.
Well htc won't be any help either as they will only give help and support to offical software. Which on the doubleshot is not the best. Stick with a custom rom if you want real close to stock yet better there are a few to choose from, you'll find all the info in the developers section on what roms are avalible as well as instructions on how to flash if you're unfimiliar
