I love using the Wired Tether app (http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/) but I have trouble using it with ROMs that include EVO framework. I really like the Evo-Inc hybrid ROMs but its critical that I have this app working. The only kernel I have found that supports the RNDIS feature under Sense ROMs is Ziggy471's, although I'm sure there are others out there that I just don't know about. If anybody can clue me in as to why I get FC's with this app on Evo based ROMs I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hey guys now since we have 2.2 root woohoo!! I am in the process of deciding which rom I am going to flash or kernel. Baked snacks as gotten my attention with its battery kernel. However my questions is this, with baked snacks will the wiimote be able to link up with PSXDROID or is CM V6 the only ROM that fixes the bluetooth error. Now I have read that its is because of the way bluetooth was programmed with sense, however because this is a custom rom and in the updates it states fixed bluetooth I am curious.
HAD had that rom before nopewiimote bluetooth doesn't work

As I understand it, CyanogenMod 6 is the only ROM that has incorporated a more standard Bluetooth stack. All the rest are still using the crippled one from HTC. So CM6 is the only option for expanded BT connections beyond headsets.
This is what I believed as well just wanted to confirm this. Thanks for the input guys and I do appreciate it.
This would be my first post on XDA, so please excuse me if I am doing anything wrong (ie. wrong sections, etc).
I recently purchased the HTC video out cable which, by the way, I was extremely excited about.
Currently I've been flashing the cm7 nightlies- by far my favorite rom to date. Unfortunately to my despair, the video out cable didn't work with cm7. I only recenly read that the video out is not supported on any AOSP roms.
I assumed that maybe it would only work with sense-based roms and tried Uber Z with 2.2.....still no luck.
So far, the only ROM (out of three that i tried) that worked was Skyraider 3.5. Though this is a nice and stable rom, it is missing some of the features that some of the Evo and Gingerbread ports have.
So to my question.... Does the TV out only work on Incredible ports, or is there a way to get it working on an Evo or Gingerbread port (maybe through some tweaking).
Thanks in advance
I got the same problem as you. As far as I know it only works on incredible framework. Its not a "major" hardware function so nobody will really ever take the time to fix it for aosp, desire z etc.... Although the dlna function on z roms is a possible solution

I have the video out on my deck in my Mustang for streaming Pandora while I drive. Wish it'd work on CM7.

OK, I've successfully rooted my beloved EVO... Now, it's time to consider a new, stable, BATTERY-EFFICIENT Gingerbread ROM; one that has WiMax, Camera (both), and Location Services running, along with basic 3G of course...
I like Sense, but I can live without it so that's not an impediment.
If you're asking why Gingerbread, well, I'd like to be cutting edge , with support for millions of colors (as I understand the Novatec screen on my 0003 Evo can handle it), and with some of the security vulnerabilities of pre 2.2.2 Android patched up.
The main things are:
1. Stability
2. WiMax and improved 3G (if possible)
3. Battery life improvements
4. Theming ability
I'm, frankly, bewildered by the options, so I'd like real-life experience and suggestions so I can narrow down my options.
Assists are appreciated...
Try cm7 it's the most stable fastest gingerbread rom
Sent from cm7 jealous!!!!!!Mines COOLER
I don't think there are any 2.3 sense roms yet. From what I understand, the only gingerbread rom that supports wimax at all is CM7 nightlies and even that is a little spotty. I think you're just going to have to wait a bit longer for all that in one rom.
I'm leaning towards CM7...
There are no Sense ROMS that are based on 2.3? It's not a big deal, but I was hoping there were, and I missed it (to add more competition).
CM7 is great, definitely worth a shot
Nope no sense based gb roms yet. Your best bets are CM7 newest nightly or, if you're willing to venture away from xda, Ultimate Droid.
CM7, no questions asked. If you want an alternative, Salvage mod has MOAR GEEZ as well, but no personal experience with it.
Get launcher pro plus. It has the good "sense-like" widgets.

Google searching it also helps. But yes, love the widgets. Also if you want a "sense" like weather/clock, check out fancy widget.
This is EXACTLY the kind of advice I was seeking...
Damn, I'm really starting to love this place.
the only problem with CM7 that i had was that the wifi tether app doesn't work.

But hotspots does.
Sent from my Evo that can't see the Apple orchard with its big wall.
With the exception of an early GPS problem CM7 is stable and many people are reporting faster connection speeds too.
Not a problem because it has a hotspot built into the rom. No need for wirless tether.
I have no issues using wireless tether on CM7

Seems like CM7 is where I might start.
Is there any particular nightly of CM7 that I should DL?
11 and 12 are a little buggy but work great for me on android 2.3.3. Anything after 6 is wimax and 2.3.2 before 6 is no wimax. Try 12 and try both savage Zen and tiamat kernels in it. both are great.

CM7 has built in wireless and usb tether, both work great. CM7 RC2 is very stable and very smooth. I use launcher pro plus and have zero complaints. Great rom with excellent functionality.
Swyped from my CM7 EvO
Hi everyone,
I'm running the stock 2.3.6 rom, rooted, and I'm wondering if any of the alternatives support the bluetooth tethering profile. My wife's Nexus S with ICS supports it (I can initialize the connection from my Transformer, no action necessary from the phone) and I'd love to see the same behavior on my GS2.
I use this phone for work stuff and really the only thing I'm missing is BT tethering, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could check their settings to see if it's mentioned or supported.
Thanks!
Don't take this as fact, as I'm not 100% sure, but it is my understanding that Bluetooth tethering profile as well as other profiles like HID that lets you use Wiimotes and Playstation controllers is missing from the Bluetooth stack that ships with Touchwiz devices.
Almost all of our ROMs are based on the stock TouchWiz ROM, so none of those will work with this profile. The only exception is the half-finished and abandoned Cyanogenmod port, and the half-finished and abandoned MIUI port based on it.
Seems like a reasonable assumption, thanks. I'll just live with wifi tethering and hope that Samsung includes the proper profiles in ICS.
I finally got an hdmi cable so I could use my old Evo as a Netflix and gaming device. I flashed CM7 and the SavageZen kernel and I'm having a problem where once I start mirroring over hdmi the WiFi goes to hell and can't maintain a connection which makes Netflix totally unusable. Anyone else have trouble like this?
Now I'm trying Decks 1.3 with the kernel it comes with and it does the same thing. Does this happen to everyone or do I have some sort of hardware problem? Arrrgh
Mason kernels work beautifully for me. Also set the cpu to max in the HDMwin app settings. It will only be set to max while you have it running in the back ground.
same problems even with the mason kernel. This is a total bummer.
Could be your TV or port. Try flashing a sense ROM with a mirroring kernel to see if it will work at all.
Way ahead of you. Just put a rooted copy of the latest OTA on the phone. The normal hdmi capabilities are working fine. I'm watching YouTube on the tv over WiFi now. I guess I'm just having software trouble with AOSP roms and kernels and my phone is really picky. Too bad I can't use Bluetooth gamepads with Sense roms....
Guess I just need to keep searching for a combo that works for me.

Use a Wiimote if you have one. There are a few apps for Wiimote bluetooth connectivity and you can have different saved setups for the buttons. Works well with sense roms as long as you're rooted.

I've never seen a wiimote work in Sense. That's the only reason I'm putting aosp on the Evo anyway. Do you have a wiimote and have made it work with Sense?
All the Wii emote apps say they don't work with the htc sense ui. That's because of htc's crippled Bluetooth stack. I'm not exactly new at this, I've been frustrated by it for years.
Unless you know something I don't know then I need to be on AOSP.
However, it is my understanding that the latest devices like the One X with sense 4.0 no longer have this problem, so lucky them!
Phew! I think I got it sorted finally. I went back to the official CM 7.1 rom and coupled with the mason kernel my WiFi isn't dropping out any more. Looks like rom choice was playing a huge role here.
For sense try bluezime but Rwiimote works for non sense.

Oh I know how to use a wiimote on non sense roms. I just use the "Wii controller" app.
I could swear I've tried bluezime on sense before and it didn't work. I'll give it another whirl on my evo 3d for kicks.

So out of curiosity I tried bluez IME again with the latest rooted stock rom. It still doesn't work even with the HID enabler. Just as I remembered.
However, much to my surprise it DOES work on my Evo V 4G running Sense. I think HTC finally unborked the bluetooth somewhat in the ICS Sense builds.

I'm having the same issue. Just rooted for the first time, but loving it so far. I'm running MikG 3.11 and Anthrax 2.6.38.6 #4 on my Evo 4G. HDMI mirroring works great, but not internet connection to use it with. Any idea if I should I change my kernel, or my rom? I'm new to this, but enjoying the learning process. Much thanks!

Try an AOSP rom with Mason kernel. Don't use the A-word kernel. Check all your settings and make sure everything will stay awake and keep screen set to always on. I use HDMI mirroring on a daily basis and have never ran into a wifi issue.
