Is it possible that the rom has a built-in ad blocker with an out of date host file? The reason I ask is because that is the primary reason of slow internet with several roms. The fix is simple. Download & install the adfree app from the market. Fire it up and either select revert (to see ads) or update hosts (no ads) and then reboot your device. You should be good to go after that, if that is the problem.

Wireless Tethering after using 1.47.651.1 Root Method

I don't know if the latest root method for OTA 1.47.651.1 (---==={ROOT GUIDE}===--- | 1.47.651.1 ROOT method | has been tested for Wireless Tethering. I would imagine that it doesn't make a difference... root is root, and there isn't much of anything changing on the phone AFAIK...
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer.... probably because this is so new...
When WiFi is off I try wireless tethering and get an error message: Unable to start tethering, please try again. I turn on WiFi and start wireless tethering I get the same error message and WiFi turns off. I've tried this with all of the various connection types: Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet sharing. When I try to select internet sharing, I get the following message: "Error Code 67. Registrationg failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
I found This How-To-Guide, which references Toast's method...but I'm curious if there's a difference between that method and the one listed above for the latest OTA.
Thanks.
[EDIT]P.S. I can confirm that WiFi does work. I can connect to local WiFi networks when they are available.

Hi.. looks like you are trying to use the buid in stock (Sprint Hotspot) tethering app.. if this is the case it will not work.. you need to root your phone and once you load a rooted ROM (ex. Fresh 0.5.3 or any other one) use the wifi tether app already included in those ROMs.. sometimes you need to reinstall the wifi app . in that case uninstall the wifi tether app and go to this address on your phone and download the latest app for the Evo. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
hope this helps...
P.S. I attached the app from the address above to the post.. good luck
Ignore jade. He is shilling for fresh. Download the "Wireless Tether" app from the market. That will work.

I figured as much. I am not using the Sprint app. I've tried the first app listed in the android market, as well as one straight from Google that's 2.0.2. It's supposed to work for the Evo... I have the same problem with both apps.
Which connection type do I need to select on my phone?

jejeje.. I did mention any other ROM as well ....
Guess the op can ignore me if he likes but what's the point of rooting if you are not going to check out various other ROMs..
if all the OP is needing is wireless teather then he should have just gone the unrevoked route.

Not going to ignore you.... not completely. I just want tethering to work so I can test it and see if it's going to work for me. Then i'll mess with other ROMs. The stock Sprint one has too much crap in it... I hate nascar...
Pezu23
I do not know if this matters but are you using a rooted ROM ? I ask because the first time I ran thw wifi tether app it ask for super user access.. maybe you need a rooted ROM flashed on the phone before this app can work.. I have no reference point since I used the toast method to root my phone..
If you can follow toast method of rooting and unlocking the NAND.. you will still have a sprint base (rooted) ROM but this time you can delete the "Nascar app" and anything else you want..
The one in market is not the best one 2.05 pre 2 I think is the best it does infrastructure mode allowing almost any device to connect

If you tried everything, i dont see why you would not take 5 more minutes to load a new rom with wifi already in it.
I had the market version of tether installed and it works fine, but I downloaded the attached APK file (in my evo) and when I tried to open it says:
Open file error

I have the same problem. I am on stock rooted with rooted OTA's...
I did get it working with Fresh, but I was having other problems with Fresh 0.5.3 like the camera would sporadically go out. I guess I may have to reload fresh (which I really liked, by the way)
I rooted using the link in your first post then installed the newest DC rom and now the newest baked rom. Neither allows me to wifi tether (though no errors) as I dont see a network being created. Any ideas? Did I root wrong or screw up my radios?
Thanks!
cool.. ill try that..
Maybe I'm confused...
When I run adb shell I can gain root access. However, it appears as though HTC Sense (or any other launcher) is not running as root..or at least the programs launched within Sense (i.e. astro file manager, wireless tether) are NOT running as root. I can only create dirs in /sdcard with Astro File Manager...Guess I gotta figure out how to wipe and restart.
Not to complicate your current line of thought, but I don't think normal file managers can create new files in system. only programs that request su will pop up in the su app. But the wireless tether should.
I am running basically stock with the tether and it works. But there is something to be said about trying to start over
Did you guys also loose 4g signal..And i hardly have any 3g bars to tether with...Before rooting after OTA everything worked perfect....Is 3g and 4g giving yall issues?

[Q] Replece Sence Browser With Stock 2.2 Froyo Browser?

I'm not a huge fan of the layout that htc Sence uses for the browser. It also has less options than the stock due to the fact you can only uncheck Mobile View not set the user agent to desktop. Now before everyone tells me I can set the user agent to desktop, I am not talking about the ua string agent selection available from about:debug. On stock froyo browser if you set the user agent and ua string agent to desktop you can access Hulu and a ton of other flash sites. Anyone know if this mod is possible?
I also want to do this and made a thread about it but seems its not possible?
I made a thread about doing this too
Unfortunately I was unable to find a way to do it, BUT Vaelpak released a rom a couple days ago that is built off the HTC 2.2 but with AOSP apps that works great- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755074
I'm pulling it and gonna try to install
Edit:
Yeah vael actually has an asop folder just uninstalled default browser with root explorer and rebooted then installed his browser. Works great. Using fresh 3.1.0.1.

Post all Fixes/Work-arounds RE: [ROM]CM7-GX4(EX+4G)

Let's build a FAQ here to help everyone get the full benefits of this outstanding ROM! Let's not make this into a discussion thread so that it makes everyone's search alot easier to find what they need. I'm starting this since there is no FAQ or WIKI in the OP.
I'll start first...
MMS FIX: clear cache for your messaging app (whatever you are using) under Settings >>> Applications >>>Manage Applications>>All. Reboot into recovery, clear cache, Dalvik cache, and finally reboot.
I already posted this in the general forum but this seems more fitting. I installed CM7 on my Evo earlier today. Everything was amazing until I realized that the market app wouldn't work. Within a second of me tapping the icon I was back at my home screen. I wiped all my caches and wiped+ reinstalled CM7 but still no luck. I've reverted to a backup ROM for now until I can get this sorted out. Any help would be awesome!
Issue:
Bad Front Facing Camera Pics "Dark"
Bad Video on any setting other than "High"
Tried Different kernels:
SavageZen 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5 no luck
Issue: Titanium Backup does not successfully install when I attempt to update from the market. Think it might have something to do with the GPS, but I don't know...
Attempting workarounds, anyone know if I can use Root Explorer to remove it and then re-download?
Hi Everyone
I would like to share what I have learned over the last week. First off. AWESOME ROM. Great job!!!
I discovered after many hours that a backup with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 does not restore on my HTC EVO no matter how I do the backup (i.e. manual or using Rom Manager). Good news is that if you revert back to 2.5.0.7 when you do the backup (either method), I have success on restore. I did the GPS fix by reverting back to a prior image and using the ##GPS….# method and then restored my CM7 and I am happy to report GPS is working.. I did flash Savaged-Zen-V0.0.5-CFS-HAVS-NoSBC-WiMAX-GB-Signed to see if that would improve things. I did them together so I can’t be totally positive which one fixed it. I believe the combination works though. 4G also works which is good news. I do not see signal strength or the icon in the notification but the Wi-Fi shows it is 4G connected (does not say sprint though). It also is consistent in range with what I had with the Sense ROM.
I also just confirmed that the Wi-fi hotspot also works on 3G (no 4G in my hood). I connected my laptop and ipad without problems and connected to the internet.
I tried everything flashing / restoring, etc to get Sprint Voicemail to work. I gave up and downloaded a program called YouMail. So far, I am happy with it (works very similar to the Sprint product and it is free).
Camera appears to also be working. I will do more tests.
I will keep you posted on the things I learn over the next few weeks. I hope some of you find it helpful.
I will answer questions if I can. Thanks for the great ROM. I look forward to updates.

Issue: No Disk Mode after flashing tast kernel.
Fix: Use savage kernel. Make sure its a Gb wimax kernel.
Issue: No WiFi tethering (bluetooth and wifi tethering both broken). I won't work in 3 or 4g.

Tried that. Didn't work. Used Root Explorer to search for all Titanium backup files. Erased. Checked in /system/app nothing there as well. Checked in Applications list to see if it was there, it was. Can't seem to erase it completely off. Tried to redownload and reinstall from market. No go.
hey guys, for the mms fix, i can't seem to get that to work. mainly because the clear cache buttons are greyed out for the original messaging app and chompsms

You need to flash the proper Gapps for CM7. Do a google search for 'Gapps-GB' and you should find the download for it. Save it to your Sd-card and flash it using recovery. Hope this helps.
I am not sure what the problem is. Are you using the built in wi-fi tethering. I read somethere what the tethering app does not work.. I have had no problems with the build in wi-fi tethering. I ran my phone yesterday with GPS and some calls, text msg, etc and left it on overnight to see how it would do. I woke up and still had 38% after over 20 hours since last charged.
I am currently expierencing terrible wifi reception on my evo, also the data seems to go in and out of connection sometimes
also my mms is not working properly and I cannot seem to fix it, I have ran fix permissions in ROM Manager, Clear cache in settings, and reseting app data in Titanium... I dont want to wipe my phone (too many settings to mess with to get it back to how I like it ) but I am willing to if thats how it will get fixed...

[Q] Gingerbread swap

Hi guys,
I am starting to get a lot of force closes on my phone. I have no clue if it is the phone, the apps or the ROM (SLIDE-Reloaded v1 which is the basics of the original just without the junk ).
I was thinking of getting rid of what I have now and installing CyanogenMOD7. Would this be recommended? I have Recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1
If so, can I get a brief explination of how to go about the swap. I know I have done this in the past but it has been so long I honestly can't remember.
Cheers!!
AB
Its simple, just open rom manager and go to download roms, hit cyanogenmod and download cyanogenmod 7.0.3 w/ the google apps addon (optional), and after it downloads, rom manager should automatically pop up asking if you want to wipe and and backup rom, BACKUP ur rom dude just incase u dnt like CM7 and it saves everything, mssgs and all, just in case. Flash the Rom and ther u go. Other than experimentation with some other roms to support my fellow devs, I hav benn using CM since the 6.1.1 build! I highly recommend it!
-also, it wud be in your best interest to probably flash up to the latest recovery, which is 2.5.0.7 if I'm not mistaken)

Do I need to download the GAAPS? If so, I am unable to from the site provided on the ROM bible thread.
Backup - check =) First thing I did was to back up SMS' and current ROM
EDIT: It just clicked to me, so I do not need t download the ROM to my computer and then transfer to SD? All I do is run ROM manager and choose a ROM from the list?
UHHH 0_o i have no idea what you mean by rom bible to be honest, but when you download CM7 from rom manager, it should be a popup on the screen that says addons, then below it is gapps or google apps, whatever its called, you can choose whether to or whether not to download it, but i strongly recommend it because gapps has the Marketplace in it, CM7's actual rom does not come stock with the android market! so download it!
-and for the second question yes it automatically does that for you!!
WOW that is great! I can't wait!!! I just can't do it right now because Market is giving me a "download unsuccessful" message I am upgrading the ROM manager to the premium.
I followed the troubleshoot steps and no luck.
As far as the rom bible, this is the site i was refering to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924793
All good!
The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get to phone to sync only. I have the HTC Sync program to sync my outlook contacts and calendar and when I plug my phone it used to always sync automatically.
Now I cannot find the feature to choose the option of sync via usb... any ideas?
Solution: Download and install Myphone Explorer on both the phone and computer. once installed on the computer go to File > Settings > Sync and choose from the options on the right VOILA!!
What are the DSP Manager and spare parts for exactly?
Last question, I installed Launcher Pro but I have a feeling this rom comes already with it. is that so (I don't have the icon on the apps list)?
Ok so not exactly last question... how do I get swype?
And why is there an H underneath the little arrows up at the top?

To get Swype: just sign up for the Swype Beta on their website: http://swypeinc.com/
I believe the 'H' is for HSPA+. The Slide is not technically a HSPA+ phone, but it does get faster speeds from the "4G" HSPA+ towers. (You should see faster speeds when the H is on top vs when there's 3G at the top)
Cramill thanks for answering my questions! =)
I am still in doubt about the LauncherPro not appearing in my apps and when i go to the markewt the option to "open" is greyed. This just happened with another app I just downloaded "advanced clock widget"
On a semi seperate note, where can I download this app (image)? I can't seem to find it on app market (the app avail is what seems to be a fony). I had this same app on my sense rom and love it cuz it has the alarm, world clock, timer, weather, etc options.
THANKS for helping in advance =)

I believe that is the Sense clock applet and you'll only get that on a Sense ROM.
what about these apps being greyed out out and not appearing on the app list?
All to strange... I rarely had do many issues with my previous ROM and since I installed CM7 it seems that there are all sorts of little things here and there popping up... Is this normal?

I can only relate my own experiences, I know there are many using CM7 and love it, but for me I just couldn't accept the limitations and bugs it presented on my phone. I'm using a rooted version of the "official" Froyo 2.2.1 ROM (espresso_signed_040511_005057.zip) which still has HBOOT 0.52 and using DarkTremor's a2sd moving apps and cache to an ext3 partition. This combination gets me loads of free memory for apps, has all the nice Sense UI enhancements, is stable and pretty snappy (I am using a Class 10 sd card).
I have to agree, CM ROMS have their audience. I am not sure why it is but I like sense roms better.
I ended up reinstalling CM7 and that fixed the problem with no sound when receiving text. The problem now as many others (so I have read) is my Wi-fi not connecting.
I am going to leave CM7 for a few more days and see if the love comes around, if not, I am going back to a sense rom =/
Fuzi is the rom you have installed on your phone located in the list of Roms in Rom Manager or did you manually instal?

I had the wifi issue in the very beginning, turns out, it is a rare bug that happens often accidentally, the wifi is not a permenant issue, simply backup once more, and then reflash! Easy as pie! Also, CM does NOT use Launcher Pro. It uses ADW Launcher to give the phone the gingerbread look. Launcher pro incorporates both Sense and Gingerbread and is far more advanced! Other than that like I said for me CM is one of the greatest Roms I have ever laid eyes on. However it is in your best interest to use LauncherPro if you want the freedom of CM w/o havin to flash a 2.2 Rom. I recommend the Plus version of LP as it has the Sense widgets, etc. Good luck and jus to let you know I hav absolutely no probs w/ CM as of my latest installation (CM 7.0.3).

Wow, that's honestly amazing. And do you see how many phones he has supported? How does he keep this all maintained? I just don't understand how it's even possible. Quarx does a wonderful job. I would have ditched the Bravo so long ago! LOL.
Yes, I agree completely. I'm just glad Motorola's lazy and made basicly the same device with different cameras and touch buttons (and a keyboard if you include the Milestone2).
New cm9 out. Will update main post when I install on phone and have access to my PC.
i will upload new build soon, because this build doesn't have root access.
HWA build has partial hwui
thanks

thanks Quarx......
I've been using the Newest HWUI for about 30 minutes now. Almost everything listed has been fixed. Only bugs I've seen so far are that 2 partitions won't mount, sd-ext and cdrom; and youtube videos won't play. Other than that, I haven't seen any major issues. The ui likes to lag a bit, but I haven't even rebooted yet and rebooting fixed some of the hwui lag from yesterday's build.
Now that we have data tethering, I can finally move on to CM9 as a primary nand rom....Except for the 5 gigs of music I keep on sd-ext....looks like I get to format and partition my sdcard later.
I'm about to install the non hwui version and I'll post back on how it goes.
5MIN UPDATE
HWUI Started rebootlooping. All I did was take picture, shoot video, crashed panoroama, enabled data tethering, and watched(tried to) a video on youtube. My guess was it was panorama. If anyone else rebootloops, post what you think might have caused it. BTW rebootlooping is what I call when the phone works fine, reboots out of nowhere to bootanimation, works fine for a while and then back to bootanimation and repeat.
NON HWUI UPDATE
Youtube works. UI is smooth. Other bugs same. Great rom overall.
i try to download CM9-20120417-NIGHTLY-kobe(hwui).zip and CM9-20120417-NIGHTLY-kobe.zip, but where i open it. it's appears "unknown format or zip error"...

I'm not sure why they don't work for you. Both downloaded and installed fine for me.
Also, the nonhwui version has randomly rebooted twice on my in the past 12 hours (maybe more while I was sleeping, Its hard to check that). The only thing I was doing was using usb tethering at the time. It doesn't really surprise me since we just got usb tethering with CM9, prolly just some kinks that need worked out. Even with the random reboots its an awesome rom.
@Quarx, could you add the following line to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Its the US ATT APN.
<apn carrier="ATT" mcc="310" mnc="410" apn="wap.cingular" user="[email protected]" mmsc="http://mmsc.cingular.com" mmsproxy="wireless.cingular.com" mmsport="80" type="default,supl,mms" />
is anyone having trouble getting data connection? i had to manually input the ATT apn. and then when i switched on data, H logo came on. but i wasn't able to use the browser, go to the play store, etc..
suggestions? i'm on the 4/17 non-hwui build.

I haven't had any data problems, just to check I swithched to 3g and used data tethering to post this message from my pc. Also, it should be 3g above signal bars on CM9, not H like in CM7. Make sure you're not in 2g only mode, and if that doesn't work, try enabling National Data Roaming. I used to have to use National Data Roaming awhile back on 3g to work with CM7 (not anymore though).
Did you enter everything exactly? One wrong character will cause it to fail and not connect.
I really need to make a CM9 APN Patch. I just figured Quarx would have that fixed by now, so I haven't.
If you look a few posts up, you'll see the correct line that needs to be added to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. You can manually add that line in preflash, or add it in afterwords and then use 0664 permissions (adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) or just use root explorer and make its permissions look like everything else in that directory.
I'll attach the cm7 apns-conf.xml. It'll work with CM9. Remove the .txt, open a terminal in the directory with the xml, then just push to the phone with (adb push ./apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) then use (adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml). Parenthesis aren't needed, just using them to distinguish the commands from the text. Or use a root explorer. Just make sure you set the proper permissions or you may not boot.
I will add that data does seem a bit slower with CM9 than CM7 right now, but that could just be the time of day and a possible 3g load on my cell tower. And I haven't used 3gTurbocharger yet.
Does anybody else get random reboots out of nowhere when doing nothing what so ever? I get one every hour or two it seems. I still think its data tethering causing the reboots. I need to leave a terminal running adb logcat to catch what may be causing that. Other than the random reboots, I'm loving the new CM9 Build.
thanks, tried all of that. still same problem. when i try to access a webpage, usually if i don't have internet connection it will show that "browser can't connect to webpage", but instead i'm getting a blank screen with a line that says "access to the url is blocked". sigh i guess i'll just wait for the next build, hopefully flashing will fix it.
I am having issues with the status bar freezing up and the only way to fix it is to revolt. But overall it is a great Rom.

Sounds like your behind a proxy or firewall. Have you installed any firewall or access control programs similar to Pdroid? Does the internet work on wifi? Other than that, have there been storms in you area lately? Have you been playing with build.prop?
About a month or so ago, I was having similar issuss, then I realized Droidwall installed itself (along with every app I ever installed) and Droidwall was blocking network access. Its possible the Gapps app sync at first boot installed something that's giving you problems.
Its kind of a guessing game now. The only network problem I have now, other than APN, is the random reboots that occur when using data tethering. You could try installing a different browser. I like Dolphin HD. I actually use Dolphin to test undervolting....just open a ton of loading tabs, it'll crash after 8-10 if you volted too low.
If an alternate web browser doesn't work, try the baseband switcher and use Argentina RT. Next try using wifi. If the internet doesn't work with wifi its probably bad settings\firewall program. After that, install CM7 or MIUI on multiboot and see if they have mobile data. If they don't, then your 3g tower may be down. BTW, I've only installed Mortplayer and Mortplayer Widget. I like to run as stock as possible when I'm bug testing.
I'm suggesting so much because I don't have much to go on other than its not the APN and you're using CM9 0417 non hwui.

Revolt??? I'm assuming you mean reboot.
HWUI or not? If its hwui, then it doesn't surprise me. The status bar was my first FC on hwui, followed by Trebuchet. I haven't had the status bar freeze on the regular version.
Have you messed with the Notification Power Widget? I remember it had issues on CM7 at the end of February\beginning of March. Back then, the settings wouldn't stick and it would act wonky until a reboot. All system settings acted funny until reboot when that bug occurred.
