Hi,
I have rooted captivate running default ATT os eclair android.
I am unable to get it to connect to wifi hotspot (adhoc, open) in my laptop. HTC G1 connects fine to it. I just do not understand why captivate cannot connect.
So to install apk I tried sdcard route but says blocked. In Application menu I do not see any option to allow unknown sources like I see in HTC G1 which is running cyanogenmod.
since wifi does not work I cannot install using market. since unknown sources is not an option available in phone menu I cannot install either.
any alternatives ?
1) should install another rom like cyanogenmod ?
Regards,
Miten.

This will allow you to enable sideloading:

It worked for me and was easy to follow.
Hi,
sideloading itself needs installing apk. I have issue in first place that of phone not letting install from sdcard due to it not being from Android Market and wifi does not connect me to my local home hotspot.
do I need to have some sim in phone to get wifi to work ? I have been trying without having sim in phone since I know my sim is not ATT and the phone is locked currently to ATT and that unlocking is what I am trying to get done.

You need Superoneclick. It will root your phone, and it will also change the settings to allow for 3rd party apps.

I am new to ANDROID, and I am trying to find some type of application that I can run on my PC, and manage my apps/settings/desktop ect... on my phone via my PC.
Thanks for any advice.

MyTouch 2 - G3 running stock Android. (no root)
try android screencast - maybe there is some function you can find useful...it's hosted on googlecode
Thanks but I think screen cast can only be used on a rooted phone....correct ?
My phone is not rooted.
Websharing might be the closest type of app with ROOT
Mmmm... I have stated twice my phone IS NOT ROOTED.
thanks anyways, I guess there must not be one for non rooted phones.

Hi all just wanted to let everyone know that I got Wireless tether to work on DarchLegend v4.1 ROM. I attached the APK file and all you need to do is put it on the root of your SD card and use package installer to install.
NOTE: In order for it to work correctly though you need to go into Settings>Wirless & networks> disable Mobile networks, then start wirless tether and go back in and re-enable Mobile network.
If anyone has any problems, please post and I will try to explain better.
worked for me with Damage 1.0! Thanks!
Just the WiFi Encryption doesn't work, so make sure you do access control.

Works for me as well on Darch4.1. It's easier to access the Mobile Network setting by holding down the red power key and selecting there.
Just use the latest stable version 1.6. No workaround needed. Works the first time, every time.
All the 2.0 versions are experimental for a reason.
1.6 works good for me on DarchLegend 4.1 out of the box, no mobile on/off or anything like that. I only tested wide open access, no encryption or authentication setup.
Does encryption work with any of the wifi tethers?

It's not working for me it just hangs at "Starting Tether"
Also when SU came up it was just a black screen.

Turn on USB debugging, that made SU screen work.

Thanks it's working does Encryption work any version?
EDIT: how do you use acces control. Whenever I connect I see my computer, and I check it to make sure it's authorized. Then I tested unchecking it to make deathuriazed, and it can still connect and use Internet?
Hi everyone,
I just bought a Motorola Milestone in Brazil and rooted it to use some apps like AdFree.
I got a problem and I dunno if it has anything to do with rooting or not.
I downloaded some APK files and installed it using the appInstaller, but they can't access the WiFi!
Whenever they try to use the WiFi it says that it's unavailable, even if the WiFi is on and connected to a network BEFORE the program was open.
Can anyone tell me what's the matter with them?
Btw, my cellphone is running 2.1-update1 Android, which came with the cellphone.
Thanks in advance!
Woaw...I guess no one knows what happened....25 views and no reply...
I can't make it work! I'm still trying to make something happen...Why the APK installed apps don't connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or 3G?
Can HTC Tattoo act as a wifi hotspot ? (so that I am able to make my Tattoo an access point and share its internet connection to
other wifi enabled devices). -> Also please tell how to do it. (any setting changes/ any application is required etc.)
P.S: I have roooted the phone am running a custom ROM CyanogenMOD Android 2.2.1 I have already tried the following: 1) Barnacle wifi tether, Android wifi tether - neither of the two worked. 2) I have also seen if there were any default settings, to make my phone a wi-fi hotspot, but found there were none of these settings in my phone (android). 3) I have also tried a new ROM: nFinity Android 2.3.5, but on this ROM also points 1) and 2) stated above were applicable.
Please tell ASAP as I have to work on a project related to this.
Thanks
hi.. i just figured i cant install or use any native apps
i tried installing DFT BT Transfer via PC and got this error :
"Nullable object must have a value"
so i tried installing it via IE from the phone.. phone says installed but no icon in menu..
and when i try to open pre-installed native apps from custom rom they close themselves..
what should i do?!
help me.. i really need BT File Transfer
The first and obvious question would be what phone and what ROM you have. The next would be whether you've done any other kind of modifications.
Also, some homebrew apps install in the Settings hub. Have you checked there?
i have Mozart and using NextGen+ 2.6.. i didnt modify anything.. i also try DeepShining and CustomV9 roms but i have problem with them too..
yes i checked there.. nothing..
i cant install DFT BT Transfer in any rom.. i tried Deepshining, Nextgen, CustomV9 roms.. some native apps like MPATools doesnt work in any rom either.. what is the completest way to reset phone!? Hardreset? is there any completer method?!
Really?! No one know how to fix this?!
