The APN is saved in the settings. And I did flash the zip-file. After that I adjust the file inside the init.d map with the script manager. But without wifi toggled on, the status bar doesn't show any signal on the signal bars, and therefore also nog 3g. Got any solution for that?
Thanks!

I've noticed that my market downloading capability just stops working randomly. only thing that resolves it is a factory reset. I've tried clearing market cache and data but that only worked once.
Any thoughts?

Hi
I have installed the ICS rom and seem to be in a pickle. Everything works besides the phone i.e I can make or receive calls. Wifi works etc. Any suggestions. Also how do I now go back to gingerbread as Odin no longer works due to no usb support.
Thanks in advance

If you have posted the apk of a paid app then that is warez which is NOT allowed on xda forums. You are ripping off the work of developers if you just post sh*t without permission.
The freeware, open source and free, solution is "Android Reverse Tethering 2.30".
That program has a client (apk on phone) and server (program for windows) which allows you to surf the web while connected to ur PC.
EDIT: Works for OFFICIAL LG GB and Froyo but not Zeus (i have tried!!!!!)

@FunkyGanja
Official GB has USB tethering option? I don't rembember. If yes than it would be nice to have it in Zeus...

You can also find it in cm7. Go to settings--> wifi --> hotspot. There is a setting to do it. I think it should also be there in zeus rom...

USB tethering is totally dependant on the ROM and LG doesn't natively support it in any of their OB roms. It is one of the things (like HDMI output) that LG hasn't built into our phones.
HTC natively supports USB tethering in SOME of their phones but other than that I'm not sure anybody else does.
Btw, nooby we are talking about USB reverse tethering where you access the Internet via the USB cable through ur pc.
Wifi tethering is what ur talking about where u use ur phone to supply Internet via Wifi.

Hi, just I tried to help him what I can help, nothing but other thing..
As u said I went on to link and it is only for rooted users only, (also there is option for non-rooted phones), but it is waste of time 3 hours for me..not worked..
If u know the procedure to work for non-rooted phones, send the link and help..
Saying words is easy than working..

I've tried the "The freeware, open source and free, solution is "Android Reverse Tethering 2.30".". It didn't work.

CMIIW, but CM7 does have it in Wifi/Tethering Options. There is an option called: USB Tethering...
I think we mean the same thing, maybe you should just try CM7

It didn't work for me when I was using zeus but it worked on the stock ROM. The developer says that the compatibility of the app is dependant on the kernel of the ROM. Since heuxxx has tweaked the ROM so well, I'm sure that something has been lost in the process. It worked for me on stock ROM and CM7 based Mokee OS.

Yeah I didn't realise that CM7 natively supported usb tethering until I tried out boypes CM7 the other day. My apologies.
But mind you, I did say that it was totally dependant on the ROM.
On another note, why don't you just buy a wifi router and use that to access the Internet? There few limitations with USB tethering which wifi doesn't have. Plus they are dirt cheap atm. I just got mine for $50

Try reinstalling just gapps.

I was really looking forward to this when I saw this post because I'm having some issues with PACMAN Rom.. tried AOKP but also issues..
So when I saw this I jumped all over it.
No problems installing, but I can't get connected to the network properly.
Internet (APN) is not working at all, can configure but doesn't connect. And other things are acting weird making me think something is badly configured on my end.. commands like *105# to check how much money I have available for calls doesn't work, it makes a phonecall instead.
Any ideas?
I'm a total newbie on these things sorry, only got my Razr M a couple of weeks ago and it's the first phone that I unlock the bootloader to try other roms. My guess is that it's not connecting properly to the network.
I'm in Bolivia at the moment, what network type should I choose? GSM ? There's to LTE here, but there's HSPDA (3.5g, right? they call it 4g here though)
When I select GSM and I look for networks it lists them, but can't connect. When I select GSM/WCDMA and reboot the phone, it apears as connected to the network. Can make calls, can't sms and can't connect to internet, also the USSD codes to check how much $$$ is left on my account don't work.
Any ideas?

If you use GSM network - you must flash also GSM-fix for it - then you can edit APN.
After flash GSM-fix leave network choosing for ROM - it will choose correct network type
I attach GSM-fix for CM10.1 - it works correct with Liquid
P.S. But try clean install - all wipes, then flash ROM / GAPPS / GSM-fix

Woop
Thank You so Much! Gonna try it right away!
Again sorry for the newbness... this is all new to me. I've been a lurker reading and never posting anything and always managed to work out my little doubts, but all this with roms is totally new grounds for me.
I couldn't acess APN settings on AOKP Rom neither, is it for the same reason?
Also.. I've had a couple of issues with PACMAN Rom, crashing and rebooting when playing music using a bluetooth speaker, is that a general issue with all roms not based on motorola kernel?

1. AOKP & PACMAN have GSM-fix too (but you can use attached - it works)
2. BT is fixed now (I did not try, but I was read, that it`s fixed)
3. All this ROMs have own kernel - AOSP kernel. You can also use custom kernels - from Arrghh or Bytecode
P.S. Liquid have one issue - FC of system.ui . But it`s not for all - some people have no this..

Thanks m8!
Installed, applied fix and it's working great! and I love it! From all the roms I tried this one has the best feel.. from the smoothness to the transitions, it looks pro. Better than any other Android ui I've seen.
Have just been playing around with settings but haven't found a single problem or error. Still haven't tested out BT, fingers crossed that it's fixed! =D
Another newb question, I've seen "FC" a couple of times... what is it? Force Close, right? I read a couple of people complaning that there was an error with new SMS's that would trigger a ui FC. I've tested it- no problems!

Could be your DNS settings are screwed up and over writing the router's settings. Download set DNS and uninstall it from within the app. This will reset your DNS to the factory default settings.

The changes in my link reverts the driver settings in JB back to same as ICS.
Even though the driver itself might be different in JB, but following the instructions will set the settings identical to the ICS settings. I do not experience disconnections or problems to connect to certain access points anymore. Let me know what happens after you tried it.
Also, the instructions will work only if you have rooted your phone. Keep in mind to mount the system folder as Read/Write

[Q] New CM11 builds

Not sure if this is the best place to discuss this, but I flashed the nightlies from CM, specifically: cm-11-20131214-NIGHTLY-p1.zip

The build is overall healthy except that I cannot make the TV out work. Any suggestions?

I tried the builds on this link and they don't work ( at least for me ). The build loaded fine and works for the most part, but I could not install GApps.
With the "official" CM11, I was able to install GApps properly.
And most importantly, the video output did not work.
If it matters at all, I used TWRP to install the builds because I already had CM11 installed.

Thank you Hygo for sharing the custom builds. I wish it had worked.
I followed the tutorial from your blog as well, not sure why it doesn't work for me.
In my tab in the screencast menu, it says no device found.
On the TV, when I connect the tab, initially the TV shows "connecting" and then says "no signal".
What change is needed to make the TV out work? maybe I can try making a build myself?
I am using the original multimedia stand and HDMI connector from Samsung.

Hi Hygo,
I know based on your comments and from others' reviews that you fixed the Galaxy Tab HDMI output.
However, it is unfortunate that I am not able to repeat the success with my tab.
I am trying this on a GT-P1000 international version, unlocked.
These are the accessories I try with:
ECR-D980BEGSTD ( desktop dock with HDMI output)
ECS-V980BEGSTD ( car windscreen mount)
In stock ROMs, attaching any of the above accessories would trigger an alert. But with your build ( as with official builds), my tab does not make any detection sound. Also, the TV says "no signal". I tried loading the image multiple times .
please help.
regards,
