M860 metro rooting/hotspot ??? - General Questions and Answers

So ive been trying to root my metro huawei 860 so I can make it run faster and found several places saying download z4 off the market. I cant seem to find z4 anywhere now and was wondering is there any other way to root it.i also want to use my phone as a hotspot to run my laptop but is that even possible with such a slow phone?

Download fourshared from the Android market, once downloaded open and search for z4root or ginger break, there are going to be different versions for each, download and see which one work for rooting your phone, after it is rooted download wifi teather, just because the phone is slow dosent mean that the wifi tether will be slow, its the data connection that matters

Just curious if anyone is still building a custom rom for this bad boy. It seems to be a nifty movie/music box and it's small in size to carry around. I have 2 i'm practicing rooting. Keep me posted.

Getting android 2.1 on netbook

Hi, i have a acer aspire d255 which has a dual boot with android 1.6, i can download apps and they work but some like angry birds wont install as its 1.6.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get 1.6 upgraded to 2.1?
any ideas?
here is froyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872186&highlight=netbook
Acer D255
I'm also quite keen on any info or hacks for this device. I've got a Acer One D255
with Android 1.6 I barely ever boot into it but has the potential of being quite useful. I'm also quite annoyed there
isn't a market app as this is 95% of android usability, without it there doesn't seem to be much you can do with it.
So what I'm asking is.....
how do I upgrade this version of android.
or how do I install the Market app.
or any other method of getting apps on it.
I'll be keeping a close look at the link posted above, as this may provide some level of success too.
hi so far the only way i have found is to use appstore or apk files installed with a file manager
i have the d255 been playing with it for a few days now the android is1.6 ot the best in the world but it works the down side is there is no market but i can run apps on it if i insall the apk file and it runs some that my wildfire cant it will run live wallpapersand the wifi works with no probs
so what i was woundering is there anybody working on making this better?
and is there anything the rest of use who have the d255 can do to help
thanks

What kind of apps have u been able to install? I tried installing ADW launcher (the only app I tried) but it gave an error parsing the package.
Is the D255 just running the "ordinary" phone android 1.6?
So I've been playing around with it today and I found that you can install .apks that you normally find in the market. I assumed the version running on here was 1.6. I managed to install ADW launcher (gives much more customization) and a lot of other apps. Right now I am going to try installing the Gapps found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
I also found that the App Center found on AndoidPIT works and allows you to download apps and install them (at least the one app that I clicked on ). Things like astro and Root Explorer also work. I pulled most of these apps from my phone and installed them and most of them work fine.
It's not android 2.1 (or 2.2 or 2.3 ) but it does make the whole thing a lot more usable.
EDIT: I just read the post above and people already managed to do the same I figured I would give my 2 cents anyway.

[Q] Need help with tethering MyTouch 3G GPS to Gtab?

Hello,
Thanks to all the great folks here on this forum I have modded my Gtab and I am really loving the experience.
I am currently running TnT Lite 2.4 and find it very stable. I did the Market fix that allows most os the apps to show up. Still using the old Market interface which accurately shows my downloaded and purchased apps. I have installed ADWlauncher EX and not looked back.
Since buying my Gtab I have rooted my MyTouch 3g 1.2 and implemented Barnacle to create an ad hoc wifi hotspot that works very well with my Gtab.
I read somewhere here that somebody was able to connect their phone GPS to the Gtab through the use of a combination of shareGPS and BlueGPS. I can't seem to find the shareGPS application anywhere on the Market with my phone or the Gtab. Is this due to the fact that my phone is still an Android 1.6 phone? If possible can someone point me to the sharegps apk file that would work on my phone?

[Q] Motorola Citrus Android 2.1

I have a Motorola citrus trying to get to wifi tether I think I got it rooted with superuser and downloaded wifi tether from market but the phones power cycles when i try to tether. Can anyone help me?
I just tried and had the same result as the original poster, looking for answers I found nothing. Though I did find this post so, BUMP for an answer please.
tethering on 2.1 citrus
I had the same result as above.
I successfully rooted with z4root
tried both
wireless tether for root
and
wifi tethering mesh
Same results, as soon as you start the tethering process, phone restarts..
side note: I know I am rooted as these apps only run if so, i've tried it..
anyone find a hack for running a few apps like 'mint' that are not available in market on the citrus.. even though 'mint' and my local banks app runs on android 1.6 and up
motorola support says the citrus only runs apk files, yet I found a work around to run java apps, just not 'mint' or my banks app runs
this is kind of like bait and switch, the citrus was advertised as being android 2.1 yet its a rather limited version.. its like fedora linux calling itself redhat linux although its based on redhat it isnt..
found one
'Barnacle Wifi Tether' from market worked on my citrus, i'll find out when i get my bill if its good or not regarding the tethering fees. but it worked in a 1 minute short test..
I came across some reviews which reminded me(on of all reviews one person with tmobile was charged):
so i would like to remind people some basics of tethering
1. dont do computer operating system updates on tether
2. dont download torrents or do filesharing on tether
3. dont use a extreme amount of data..
that said I would recommend using a firewall on you computer to block any applcations that might do any of above, and use it when your tethering...

Asus Transformer or Acer A500 for tether

Greetings forum members,
I have a basic question and hopefully someone or multiple people could help me out. I am currently in the market for a tablet;Asus Transformer or the Acer A500. I currently have a Moto Droid X running OTA 2.3.3 and of course no root options at this time.
I have the application called PDAnet for my computer when the internet goes out at home and I need the internet for quick access. I am wondering if anyone knows of an app like PDAnet that I can install on the tablet and tether to my phone for internet access.
Yes I know I can sbf back to froyo and re-root and install the gingerbreak leak that already has root to do the wireless tether. That is currently my last option. I wouldn't be doing the tether very much but it would be nice for my trip to Disney World next month with the family.
Thank you for time on reviewing this post and I am hoping alot of people will help out. GO XDA FORUMS!
i have an X and transformer.. and easy tether, which i think is the same basically as pdaNET..... and none of those tethering apps are gonna work because they require you to load software onto the the device supplying the data. for example i have to install and .exe application on my windows computer to tether it via my X for a data connection. im not aware of of any of the tethering apps that have made a .apk app to install on an android platform to use as the source of the data tether..... just gonna have to do your homework and root the X.... its really easy and once you do it ull love your tablet even more.
Both the Transformer and A500 tablets only recognize infrastructure wifi unless you root them and either do a supplicant replacement or install a custom ROM. On my Acer A500 I rooted & installed latest Taboonay custom ROM which instantly allowed my tablet to find all Ad-HOC signals, including the signal from my Epic 4G Touch with WiFi Tether Version 3.1-beta6 installed. Not sure but you MIGHT get lucky linking your PDAnet to a tablet running the Taboonay ROM.
