I have running the Facebook 1.1 app that is on the droid, on my motorola cliq, because someone uploaded it. It is only showing 1.0 in the market right now, anyway is there anyway anyone can fix the notifications tab, so we can reply to our notifications with-in the app itself, instead of having to use the browser? I hate going to the browser just to respond to a notification such as someone commenting on my status, etc....or I have to search for it, in the app just to respond, iphone gets all the attention! If you can fix this, and upload it again, I would appreciate it.
Wowzers!

i am not sure you comprehend the magnitude of what you ask
I don't mean to sound repetative but this is the wrong section for this, if i'm not mistaken.
"If you can fix this and upload it again i would appreciate it"
Did you get this from the forum?
It's easy...he's just asking to rework the application. No biggie. Simple as using textpad.

I did the above to my facebook.apk and it enabled viewing notifications as it should have. I'm really not sure why whoever coded that in the text file left it at "0", but with it set to "1", all my notifications actually work and stuff.

Dude you have a Moto Cliq use THE HAPPENINGS APK it allows you to respond to that stuff and comment on other status why in the world would you need the droid facebook.apk anyways on the cliq it sounds like your not using your cliq the way it was intended
I love the sarcasm, no really I do.
To the poster of this thread,
Please take the time to learn how an application is developed, what source code is, what an .apk file is, and then decide if this "request" you made is even remotely feasible. I'm usually not one to flame another but my goodness, the noobness you exert is almost blinding.
Duplicate post.

Dear GV2004, we know you're new and all, and that we should be nice to you, but here's what you have to do: use the HORRIBLE search engine that comes with this forum, spend hours going thru unrelated info, THEN come back here and ask your questions. Only then will you get what you seek, and only if you grovel. That way we feel better in our smugness. Maybe then you can get us off of our 36 hour marathon of World of Warcraft to help you. Oh yeah, you may also have to come and clean our mom's basement. We are tired of cleaning it for the past 42 years since we've been living here. May the force be with you!

You mean I have to search for more than one word at a time? That's too difficult. I'll just put in the word facebook, cry for a few minutes when I see the results then I'll post in the development section? Is that cool?
I love it when people cry about how bad the search engine is and then in less than 30 seconds I searach for and link them the thread that tells them how to fix the problem they have.

wow
Thanks I look into the forums just wanted to throw some ideas out there... thanks again.
I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.
Anyone know what data call setting does?

No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.
There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

For those of you like me that cant stand that the check box for non market apps is completely gone in 4.1.83 and apparently Atrix did not make the Today OTA fix from ATT this is a quick how to to correct this over-site
#Need SQLite Editor from market & Root
1. Open SQLite Editor
2. Scroll down to Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
3. Click settings.db
4. Click Settings
5. Scroll to _ID 107 "force_only_market_apps"
6. Press hold and select option change value
7. change value to 0
8. Save
9. Enjoy
Umm the non market application check box is there for me? what are you talking about
don't know what to say to that , mine was not there in the menu at all ever sense the latest update... either way it is still another way to enable non market apps from anywhere with out using a separate program
please search before posting, this was already posted and for a few weeks has been included in gladenabler.

Yea, I posted this a while back in a couple of the other sideloading treads as another option. The only thing I think you need to add to your OP is that you need to be rooted to do it.
It's not a bad idea to have a separate tread for this, but maybe it should be in the themes and apps tread since it is really just an app? (maybe that is just me)
And this is a VERY easy way to enable it.

Hay, no problem man, it was buried in the tread, so that's why I thought that it wasn't a bad idea for a tread for it alone. Besides, it happens to even us that search and search for stuff in treads, and still can't find what we were looking for, but we gave it a valiant effort.

They are modding the build.prop or using Xposed modules to do it. Just like you would have to do if you had root any other way. The mod to the build.prop has to be done on the pre-rooted system.img and then flashed. Same with Xposed - it has to be installed in the pre-rooted system.img.

Thank you for taking the time to offer a more detailed explanation, I don't feel comfortable at this point with this $20 root, not because of the money but because I feel there is a good chance I will mess up my phone and when I ask for help I will be told to use the "search" feature. I am an expert in other areas where I am a member of other forums where I help others, if I know the answer to the question I give the person seeking help a complete answer, if I don't know: I say nothing. Telling somebody who is seeking help to "do a search" is not any help at all, just simply an unfriendly way of saying I know something you don't. I am not referring to you.

I can't live without free WiFi tether on my UDP line so for me it is a big deal. These cell phones are not just telephones anymore - I use it to connect to the internet to do everything from pay my bills to communicate with clients via email and getting other work done on my computer while outside of my office/home. It allows me not to have to be stuck inside at a desk all the work day. The freedom and flexibility a smartphone with WiFi tether gives me is invaluable to me.
Right now I have an N6 but it is too big and the screen has an issue so I think I am sending it back. Would love for this root method to work on my Moto X 2014, which is my favorite p hone.

This forum has rules, I didn't make them and don't necessarily agree with them.
You are wasting a lot of time and energy arguing here when you could be searching and reading to get the answer to your question

Thank you for taking the time to offer a more detailed explanation, I don't feel comfortable at this point with this $20 root, not because of the money but because I feel there is a good chance I will mess up my phone and when I ask for help I will be told to use the "search" feature. I am an expert in other areas where I am a member of other forums where I help others, if I know the answer to the question I give the person seeking help a complete answer, if I don't know: I say nothing. Telling somebody who is seeking help to "do a search" is not any help at all, just simply an unfriendly way of saying I know something you don't. I am not referring to you.

Well "NO" I wasn't trying to come off saying I know something you don't, I honestly feel that this thread was completely unnecessary because you could have done some reading in multiple threads on how to get wifi-tether for free. And you've been a member since 2011 so I figured you already knew about the search button. I was so tempted to just not even answer the question and tell you to do a simple search, but I had the common decency to answer it at least. To be fair, I did come off a little brash, so I will apologize for that, but threads like these annoy the crap out of me. Whenever I have a question or issue, I do my own research in order to find the solution, and only then if I don't find the answer to that question will I start a thread on the matter. So I will direct you to a very nice thread which will help you a little bit better in forum etiquette.

Pay attention to number 4, 5, and 6 on the guide as they are the most applicable to you.
I'll do my best to help you now, but please next time just simply read through a couple pages and search; most of the answers are usually already available.
Honestly, this is one of the easier rooting methods I've done next to "towelroot". This is easier than using Odin with my old galaxy s3 and s4, in my opinion. It's certainly a heck of a lot easier than using the old school "paper clip method" in the HTC Rezound, LMAO. Anyone that has done it knows what I'm talking about. Actually, that was my favorite method of obtaining s-off. It took unlock the bootloader to a whole new level. A pretty interactive method. Anyways, I digress.
Just follow the instructions on the video exactly as Tom says and you will be perfectly fine. Once you get to the part where you are actually rooting the phone with the image, DO NOT TOUCH your phone, cable, or turn off the laptop or then you will be in trouble. The only difference you need is to download an IMG with wifitether already built into the app, because unfortunately, this method does not have Write Protection off (as of right now), this pretty much means you cannot make any changes to the code on your phone after flashing the image. So that means you don't get all the fancy stuff that you normally get with root unless you make the changes PRIOR to flashing. I know this is a lot to absorb, but it's good to know.
So with that being said, once you have purchased the rooting method, download the image off this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...xt1254-21-44-12-quarkrootwifihotspot-t3064908 and unzip, then drag it into the box like you would in the video and everything should go smoothly. Once completed, you will have native wifi tethering on your phone so all you have to do is go to Settings>More...>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot and you're all set.
If you have any other questions, please go to the correct threads and/or use the search button.
Alright, I got tired of reading the somewhat nasty unhelpful comments so I'll chime in. Yes you can have Wifi hotspot with this root. I'm on a weird unadvertised Verizon plan. I have 6gb of data but wifi tethering still costs extra. Total bull****.
If you use the image someone on here made that has xposed working on it then you can download a module for xposed called Moto Tether, or maybe its called X Tether. Either way once exposed is up and running you can download and install that module, reboot and viola, the built in wifi tether works perfectly.
The other way that I'm aware of requires someone to modify the build.prop file from the system image, then repack that image which you can then flash. I don't know if anyone has done that yet though.
So I hope that answers your question.
If you don't already know why tethering doesn't work, and this is just from what I understand which may very well be wrong- when you go to use the wifi tethering it checks the build.prop file for permission which then uses the entitlement apk built into the phone to check your verizon account to see if you're subscribed to the feature with verizon. For people like me or those with unlimited data that feature costs more so unless your paying for it the entitlement app says no you don't have permission to use the feature.
I spent hours searching all over the damn web to piece that much together. Hope it helps.

There is nothing nasty about reminding people the forum has rules. If anything is nasty it is this comment by YOU.

If you had just read my post on the first page of this thread, you could have understood this in about 5 seconds, lol!
WIFI
Well This was simple math for me. I logged into my Verizon account and cancelled the tether at 30.00 per month. Paid 20 dollars for this. used the .IMG with the tether fix included. I did watch some of the youtube video to get me going. I also read through the good posts and the bad ones. Now I profit and if only for 1 month I come out ahead. I am still on a old Alltell plan and they always give me a hard time about switching to something else. I only used about 6-8 gigs a month anyways, but I want to use it the way I want.
Thanks to all.

I just used MOFO root to root my droid turbo, i actually had to do it twice, but it didnt take long once i had all the files downloaded. I used rootjunky you tube page and followed his instructions.
Now for your original question i am searching for an image that frees the wifi hotspot but i havent been able to locate it yet. If i find it i will let you know.

All of the rooted images available in the development section of the droid turbo forums have tethering enabled. Computerfreek's rom has it, and first encounter's rom includes it as part of the optional patch.
