[Q] A way to activate stock USB & Wifi tethering? - HTC First

So I'm unlocked and using pretty much everything but AT&T. Is there a way to allow stock tethering functionality on our device?
I already tried getting rid of TetheringGuard.apk/odex and ATT_Hotspot.apk/odex, borrowing hacked telephony.db from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261, and editing build.prop with this:
ro.wifi.hotspotUI=1
ro.usb.tetheringUI=1
ro.tether.denied=false
No go.

I'm facing the same problem. Could anybody tell us how to troubleshoot this??

After being back on stock ROM I must have been mistaken on my earlier comment. I will look into it once I can some free time

Thank you, JMZ. A particularly (ocassionally) useful feature, especially when using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM. (Only 4 hours till my phone arrives!!) --Larry

Hello JMZ, I'm having same problem. I can't start my wifi hotspot. I don't know how to root my device. This is my first android device. Is it necessary to root my device to use my wifi hotspot. How do i check my ROM type (You guys mentiones STOCK and SENCE ROMS here).
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

Solved

Thanks to diekastro's post #8 at the XDA HTC One X Forum, I found this allowed me to activate a wireless hotspot and eliminated the AT&T check, using SQLite editor.
-- albeit not for the faint of heart:
Make a backup of telephony.db (in case this doesn't work for you)
Your internet APN should be configured (Settings - Mobile data - Access Point names)
1)Open Telephony.db (flange files: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases)
2)Select 'carriers'
3)Search second row, then select Edit field
4)Change ID field with a number non used in this db (ex: in my case the last row is "37" so I used "38") - Save
5)Repeat the 3 and 4 steps, but using row 12.
6)Search the last line (or line with your carrier internet APN)
7)Select the row and Edit Field.
8)Change the ID field to "2". - Save
9)Chose the second row, then Clone Record and change ID field to '12' - Save
Now just need to make changes on the newly created lines:
Row number 2 -> Edit field
1)Change name to ATT Phone
2)Change Type to "default"
2)Insert_by field to "internal".
3)State to "readonly"
Row number 12 -> Edit field
1)Change name to Entiltlement
2)Change Type to "entitle"
2)Insert_by field to "internal".
3)State to "hidden"
My phone: HTC First, rooted and s-off. Stock rom w/ JMZ Kernel. Straight Talk SIM (AT&T network)
--Good luck

Yeah maybe. Can you clarify which one is suppose to be copied to slot 2? Cause the way I read it I just copy 38(which was in slot 2) back to slot 2 and the clone that one to 12. Maybe it has just been a long day....

That could be confusing & it is now easy to forget what I did, but it probably should read: 'search the "original" last line (or line with your internet carrier APN)' -- in my example it was line 37 renumbered to 2.
Basically the script just resets the database and subsitutes our actual APN & settings for the default AT&T values, so there is no conflict.

You would almost need some sort of "interactive" zip, as the line numbers and APN details will most likely be personalized per user. But that's why you are a great Dev and I just know enough to be dangerous! Thanks.

Well as long as the user is ATT it will work. My databases.db. if they aren't they will have to do it manually. I can of course include your for users that are on ST(ATT). And as new users come in just add it in. That's what they did for the other att devices like one x and one x+

Registry app

Which is the best app to go for to tweak window mobile registry plz? also is there somewhere on this site that has apps to d/l? cheers
I use TotalCommander...
Easy to use and i great filemanager too
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
I've now got that program installed on the diamond but how on earth do I tweak the reg? I want to follow this guide but I don't know where to start with this!
8. Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
Double click on '\\Plugin' then on 'registry'
now you can go wherever you want in the registry...
to edit a value just double click and change
EDIT:
If It's the screen off during calls reg tweak then this worked for me... ( can't remember where I found it?? but it's in the forum somewhere)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"BatteryTimeoutInCall"=dword:20
"BattSuspendTimeoutInCall"=dword:20
"EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall"=dword:1
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Sleep"=dword:1
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"LightSensorPollingEnable"=dword:1
This gives me 20 seconds of screen time before it goes out. You can change 20 to any number you want.

Hmmm... ok? and you are att the 'root'?
because at the top I have //Plugin
This is how my TotalCommander looks like... ( It's in Swedish )
Does there really need to be this many threads on this question? Please use the search before asking.
Use CeRegEditor and you can edit the registy remotly from youre PC

[SOLVED] Fix for My Location Weather (Can now update by GPRS)

MOD EDIT 1 - You only need to copy the file using Total Commanderor Resco Explorer, it's not required to be cooked in to the ROM.
sorry,my english is poor...
used touch pro rilphone.dll can fix my location weather problem,now can update my location weather by gprs
attachments is touch pro 5.12 drivers rilphone.dll,only for cook!
my radio is 1.13.25.24,sms and phone is ok
and this reg can fix clock problem(only alert notification ring)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications]
"AlertInterrupt"=dword:00000000
=================
我用中文来说明一下吧,看不懂的就残念了……看的懂的帮我回复吧……
很早前我就确认我的位置及AGPS是与HD驱动有关的,因为我在touch pro上我的位置和AGPS都很正常,但是几乎一样的OEM在HD上我的位置和AGPS却不正常,因此与sundream探讨了几回,替换了多次驱动,后来终于找到了与我的位置相关的驱动就是rilphone.dll(592的5555也找到了),AGPS暂时还没测试(目前使用NOKIA的服务器AGPS也能正常配置,中国移动的服务器不行)
这个rilphone.dll是touch pro 5.12驱动官方ROM里提取出来的,我在HD上使用一切正常,我的位置用GPRS、WIFI、电脑同步都可以更新(之前三种方式都不行,不过我的ROM有些人可以用WIFI更新,可能与IP有关吧),我的HD的RADIO是1.13.25.24(官方1.59CHT里的),发收短信、电话一切正常。
我不太清楚rilphone.dll具体有什么作用,不过就我在touch pro使用了一年多的经验来看,与radio的搭配关系不大的样子。
那个闹钟的注册表,官方ROM的oemdrivers默认AlertInterrupt=1,这样闹钟响的时候会只响提醒的铃声(默认的铃声是嘀一声),而闹钟的铃声是被忽视的(这样就不可以设定不同闹钟铃声,只能设提醒铃声为闹钟铃声)。改成0或删掉这个注册表后就正常了。其他机型都没这个,就HD有,真是怪事……
MOD EDIT 2 - Added cab file as posted on post#87
MOD EDIT 3 - Solution below found by SimonOverton on ppcg
MOD EDIT 4 -Cab as posted on post#333 for miri 1.8 & maybe others?
It did not work at all regardless of the many ROMs tried so I figured it must be my phone company blocking the Weather updating...... After much trial and error I discovered my phone company configuration through "Connection Setup" is putting in a proxy server on the internet connection settings... By simply unticking the proxy (and ppcg's fix rilphone.dll) it works now AWESOME!!.... Everything else seems fine, and the proxy dosent seen to be needed.... PS Virgin Mobile Australia.

Hey a huge thanks man for this wonderful gift.
For everybody's information I simply copied the attached rilphone.dll to the windows directory on my Flashmore-Dusk v1.6 Rom and for the first time since I have had this Touch HD AKA Blackstone I was able to update weather on My Location via GPRS and ,note this, WITHOUT TURNING ON WIFI !!
Can you believe that?
Super man I am so happy I could kiss every xda member (females only)
P.S. What is the clock fix for?
AS I know, this solution came from someone else

Can I ask what radio you are running with this rilphone and do you perhaps know what version the rilphone is?
The clock fix I think fixes problems for some where when an alarm goes off but only rings once because the notifications alerts interupts the alarm.

Actually, I've just looked to make sure it's in the windows folder but I don't think it copied. It's odd, I have a rilphone.dll and a RILPHONE.DLL. Not sure how I can have 2 with just different cases! Anyway, now I can't delete either of them using total commander, says they're in use and I can't copy the one in this post to the windows folder either.
What are you guys using to copy the file?

I have backed up the original one and then just overwrite the one with resco explorer..It just overwrites, soft reset, and everything is working after that.
are you using htc messenging or not?
I confirm that My Location does work. Haven't seen any negative effects yet.
You may also want to modify the title as this works just by copying the file using Total Commander, it's not required to be cooked in to the ROM.

I suggest you try Total Commander first to see if you can delete the file you added. Then, again using Total Commander, copy the file over.
If this doesn't work it looks like a hard reset is in order.
Can confirm that it works but for me, it works only in GSM-Mode, not with HSDPA

[Q] Connection Setup

So I am on Simple Mobile on an unlocked Tmobile HD7. The problem is that everytime I run the HTC Connection Setup the phone detects Tmobile as the default conncection (which is because Simple Mobile does use Tmobile networks)
however when I manually select Simple Mobile from the provider list. MMS/Picture Message seems to work fine. Of course given the fact that Data Connection is active and we don't have much APN settings for MMS on Windows Phone Mango (yet).
So I was wondering if instead of using the HTC Connection Setup if I use some other OEM connection setup app like that of Nokia or Samsung using the xap marketplace changer,
would it still work ??? I don't want to run HTC Connection Setup again and again for it might relock my deepshining custom ROM.
Please answer.

hmm, perhaps i misunderstood you...

you can only use HTC Connection Setup.
the other OEM versions of CS cannot be used on HTC devices.

The problem is that even after running HTC Connection Setup.....the MMS works fine for the next few tries...but then it stops working itself...as if the connection has been reset back to Tmobile instead of Simple Mobile....so I have to run HTC Connection setup everytime...sometimes it solves the prob...some times it doesn't....so I was thinking if there was another app to write the data settings....
However I followed you and uninstalled HTC Connection setup...after installing the carrier settings...lets see if it solves the problem..in the meantime if you think this is related to something else..then let me know.

Depends on which you decide to do. If you do adb method, its running in background of phone constant. Just follow as instructions say and itll work perfectly. For play store one, start service then do all process then go stop and save logcat file.
Is this what you were looking for?

Dude.... That's EXACTLY what I'm doing right now... thank you.
Just to let you guys know, I was actually able to successfully overwrite my SecSettings.apk and my services.jar without screwing my phone up at all. I think maybe if we can tweak the services.jar file it might start working. It's very obviously locked out in that classes.dex file (look for the smartbonding files)
I tried copying the entire smartbonding folder within classes.dex, unpackaged from services.jar from the sprint thread. There is obviously more to it, however. My phone does boot (with original but modified services.jar), sprint SecSettings.apk, and the odex files provided. But still no download booster. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm not exactly sure where to look at this point.
I don't have this phone yet but I was thinking that you can probably edit the build . prop to that of the international s5 to get more features. Just edit the phone name for ex tolteatt to that of the init s5 tolte look in the att note2 Dn3 Rom for examples on which edits to make.

Samsung phone apk has built in call recorder

So randomly I was looking at the updates available for the phone on the Galaxy app store. And saw that certain countries including Korea China Vietnam and Japan have it built-in to the Samsung phone UI. I was wondering if someone from those countries could post their APK for us less fortunate folks. I'd like to try it out and see if it works. Thanks in advance.
P. S. I attached a screenshot.

It's a bit misleading there - the app is the same across the board (most likely) but the features enabled are determined by settings files including those in the CSC for your carrier. The nice part about that is that with root you can edit your existing CSC to enable features that were missing or disabled.

I'm not sure you're correct. I'm just thinking about the unlocked version of the phone, I don't think it has anything to do with the carriers.
When I go to Galaxy Apps, there seem to be several apps to download that offer call recording

Well, I compared the full contents of my N950N (a Korean model), a N950F (European model), and a T-Mobile branded N950U and they all had the same dialer (the F and N's are about 95% the same, the US models have more differences due to hardware but the software is still about 90% identical), but what to I know

Hey if you have the Korean model could you please post the top one in the photo I attached I think that's the APK that manages the phone system and could contain the call recorder.

yeah that one is identical across the board. Like I said, you need to enable call recording via CSC settings. What you are missing is this line:
Code:
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
That enables the call recording function, it is not a different APK.
Damn i wish they put it in adb secure setting instead of csc.

Yup, I believe KT is correct. I have a N950F, I'm 99% sure I didn't have the call recorder option. After I installed KT's TMO mod I got the call recording. I have not tried it yet though.

So you have a link to that? Thanks in advance!

Yes but unfortunately if you have a N950U it won't do you any good. The mod is made for N950F variants only & you would need custom recovery installed in order to flash it.

Do you have a Tmobile N950U variant & do you not have the call recording option?
It looks like they finally have a working root for the snapdragon versions now, so he could just manually copy the others.xml file into his system/omc/tmb/ folder and reboot I think.

Actually that is true, totally didn't think about that. Manually copying all the files over should work as that's all the flash is doing anyway.

I think he's already on a tmobile phone, so he just needs the others.xml file added to enable the extra features. He should also edit omc.info to change the others tag from no to yes but I think it will load it anyway.

Ah I see, I just just assumed the call recording feature was stock on TMO variants.

Where could I find the CSC settings to change this file and add the above line?
I have a rooted N950F with Official firmware.

If I'm not wrong just edit your build.prop file with text editor and add such line and done.

Thanks. Where could I find the Build.prop file? Would I be running into any permissions issue in editing the file? Also could you recommend an editor please?

That CSC feature line wouldn't go in the build.prop. It would need to be added to cscfeatures.xml or others.xml.
For stock N950F with original firmware it would most likely will go in cscfeatures.xml as it most likely wouldn't have others.xml, as to what folder that's in, I couldn't tell you as I don't know what CSC you are currently on. But if stock, cscfeatures.xml most likely will be encrypted.

Found it under "/system", but I don't think this is the correct file for this entry as the line to add is in XML format. Unless it needs to be specified in build.prop as a different entry line?
