Voodoo Sound Help Needed

Hello all, I am in contact with Supercurio on how to allow for Voodoo sound to be implemented. As of now there isn't enough info for Supercurio to add the required modifications to enable it.
He asked me for three things that are needed for him to study the sound interaction with the system
1. Rooted Phone
2. ADB wireless Widget app
3. Open port for him to connect from his location to my phone
I'm having trouble opening a port to allow him to remotely access my phone through adb wireless.
Is there anyone willing to let him do the same with their phone or can someone help me open a port from my router to allow him to connect.
what you need: TCP public ip:5555 -> phone internal ip:5555 (This is where I'm having trouble)

Google how to open a port on your router, that would be the easiest thing to do

I've tried, that's why I'm reaching out to the XDA community. I can't seem to open any port. Information on how to do so just for a phone is proving more difficult. I'm using Netgear WNDR3700. I've failed about 20 times since yesterday to open a port.

What's he after? If he's trying to figure out what the sound chip is, it would appear to be a Wolfson 8994. He will find out quite a bit more by pulling the kernel source which LG has posted.
He'll also find that the driver setup is really, really weird. The "sound driver", for example, is little more than a shell which allows register access from the NVRM process, which is proprietary.
So if he wants to apply his magic to the sound driver, it's going to be tough. And maybe not possible (not sure how the sound chip handles routing between it and the RIL, for example.)
But I haven't spent a lot of time in this stuff, maybe I have it wrong.

I have my phone set up and sent him a PM to hit me up and gtalk when he's ready.

Okay !
In a few hours then, I finish some debugging first
I'll come back in the thread.

Wi-Fi question.

At work we are not allowed to go on certain websites with our work computer.
If I were to use my G2x and go on Facebook instead of using my computer is there a way to keep a record of that? And would it e traceaable? If anyone know's it would be appreciated.

Yes they can track what websites you been if you connect to their router.

If you're doing everything over your cell network I wouldn't worry about it. If you're connected to wifi at your work and the sites aren't blocked, then don't worry about it either.
Now, if it violates your workplace policy to be using your phone in the first place well that's another story.

Only if they knew your phones MAC addy, or they if they could deduce who's phone was connected just by looking at who carries what. It would kind of depend on the size of the network and who was paying attention.
My G2x shows up on my router with android_70062d507xxxxxxx for a host name, If I were the only client on the router with an Android device I'd definitely be found out. I would think that with any reasonably sized employer there would be many Android phones.
Of course if you're doing anything seriously wrong none of this applies, an investigation would go to a whole 'nuther level.
EDIT: If an IT person helped set you up or if you had to request access from your phone then you are probably being watched, but if you just connected yourself to the router from a shared password then you are probably somewhat safe.

Wifi tethering?

I'm about to root and was wondering which rom allows you to Wifi tether without being charged by tmobile?

rooting a friends phone:

Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.

You've conflated a couple questions here.
"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"
Most, if not all, do.​
"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"
Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.​

Yes that works or just go to settings>wireless and networks>tethering. No need for an app if its built in but if you want one there's plenty to choose from

Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.
For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.

that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it.

It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.

I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.
I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.
(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)

T-Mobile is on a roll!
Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.
They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.

So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.

So using just the VPN client still blocked you??

Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.

Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.

I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.
Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.

Do we have a browser yet?

I know this isn't Android anymore, but has anyone pulled/ported the stock Tizen browser from Tizen OS? I assume it would be easy enough to sideload this to the device via USB Debugging, right?

Sounds easy and it might be but, we don't have a keyboard yet anyways. Hopefully when the fleksy keyboard comes out there will be more useful apps.

While we wait, can you share what you think would be a useful scenario where pulling up a webpage on a tiny watchscreen will be more convenient than just pulling out your phone and doing it that way? I'm really curious and maybe you have a great idea I haven't considered.

Some kind of situation when you want to check things without hands free? Checking live train times while carrying luggage or checking football scores while it's raining perhaps?

Think a dev confirmed there is no external acess from the gear 2, only direct to phone, so this wouldn't work I would assume.

Cheating on a test, of course. That's pretty much the only reason I'd want a watch browser.

Either of those scenarios you just mentioned are great, but voice commands w/ S Voice would be more useful (if it can even do this - I know Google Now can get me this info from my phone, but S Voice on the Gear currently just comes back and says "sorry, we couldn't find the answer to your question".
Also, if your hands are full, what makes you think that opening up and typing a web address on the watch's little screen will be "hands free"? You can't even interact with the watch without touching it with your other hand.

How would you navigate an app or browser without using you hands/fingers? Your football score scenario is already accomplished via ESPNs Score Center app. It can be configured to send notifications based on team preferences (i.e. notify of scoring plays during your fav team games).
And now that I think about it, if only the Google Maps app could be configured to send turn-by-turn notifications, we would sort of have GPS on our Gears.

oh I forgot about the turn by turn functionality - Pebbles can do this, even though I never got a chance to use it since my phone is mounted on my dashboard. Would be useful when walking in a city, though - without keeping your phone out. The problem of course is the watchscreen turns off again and you have to touch the watch and navigate to the app again to see the next direction.

Yep, and shortly after I posted this I came up with an article about that Pebble feature... however, it seems it is limited to the iOS version of Google Maps because it is able to send normal push notifications for each turn.

Is there a way to run a OS on my phone from a server?

i have been toying with this idea for the last few years. neptune suite had this concept to run android from a smart watch onto "dumb" screens. would there be a way to use LTE to run a OS from a home server? if the speeds wouldnt be fast enough would doing it locally be possible? would it need 5g speeds?
the reason behind this is the low life expectancy behind phones today. this could be a possible solution to run android on a computer/server that you can upgrade over time. it will host the os to any "dumb" screens.
im more curious if anyone knows if this is possible technically.
Thanks!

PC already has its own way of running Android and PC can share screen with any device that can connect on the same network so this is not only possible, it's already being done. In more than one way and with more than a few software/hardware combinations.

Now that i think about it maybe a better comparison would be how chrome os runs on a computer. can you do that with android but 100% of the entire os ? and instead of google hosting it, i host it from my own server.

You can host anything installed on PC, you use an emulator on the PC to run a full android OS on PC then use one of the various apps for remotely accessing PC.
With that you can run Android on PC and view and use it from your smartphone.

i have a Pi for this application i would want something which all the components are upgradable. and something i could bring with me and carry in a backpack.
can you think of any way to accomplish everything that a modern phone provides without having to get a new phone every(or every other) year? you can get a pc or a playstation, or tv or many other things and easily be comfortable using it for 5+ years. but not phones. i often brainstorm about different ways to make this happen. even if its stupidly complex and diy. just fun to think about

I can't really see it being that feasible without upgrading to a newer phone as time goes by. Mobile hardware/software evolves faster than PC these days. After a few years, a mobile device can't keep up, even with the setup you are looking for because in the end, you're still trying to do everything from a mobile device, no matter how you loop it, you're still on dated mobile hardware.
