Is there a way to get USB tether in CM11 (or any ROM really) to work with OS X??
I tried searching http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991113
found that ^ but if there's a way to do it natively or that doesn't involve 3rd party software / changing my mac that would be preferable.
if not I can find other solutions
thanks!
edit: wow i'm dumb .. after actually reading and comprehending the link it seems like that is exactly what i'm looking for ... can a mod delete this

Hi
i want to to output audio through usb on my arc s.
i have a usb device and when i connect it, it doesnt work, obviously.
but i want to dig into this.
i know all it takes to enable it is to have the correct module (in my desktop linux, it is snd-usb-audio.ko).
then load this module into kernel (on my desktop, i should use modprobe, but in android it doesnt work).
and maybe this could go into a kernel.
so questions:
1. then module should be compiled for my android kernel, right? i mean i should get the source code and try to compile it my own, right?
maybe it is a dumb question but cant i just use module in my desktop for android? my desktop kernel is 3.5.2 (fedora), BTW
2. how should i load the module? i know it should be possible through a program, like what USB OTG helper does. but what are other ways?
i dont care for programming if it is the only way, i want it to work!
i googled a lot about this and found out some devices have this, but in general, or a way for general, i did not find aynthing.
maybe with some work we could get this done.
thx in advance
Wrong section bud should be in Q's and A's

Hello,
I am stuck in a student room where the internet come by cable and with a fully working connection on my computer (Ubuntu)
As I have no data plan , I was wondering if some custom 4.2 ROM would support had-hoc.
Can you please ping here if you are aware of such ROM? Thanks
None I have ever seen , only infrustucture mode support Google

Infrastructure is not supported by my computer, according to this post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/106745/how-to-find-out-if-my-card-supports-infrastructure-mode
SO I cannot create infrastructure network.
I can create ad hoc network, but so, Android won't recognise it.
I have also tried bluetooth connection sharing, but seems impossible, so I will maybe go back to previous release of CM that support ad hoc.
I want adhoc to work because I have a toughbook in my company truck that's connected on a perm data line and I want to use adhoc like I do with my iphone. Which ROM supports adhoc ? I would be nice if it also had JB4.2

I'm not sure which ROM has it but did find something that might help you: http://shaer.me/blog/2012/08/how-to-enable-ad-hoc-connection-on-your-android/
I tried enabling adhoc through various methods as you mentioned above but was unsuccessful.
I read about an omnirom available for our captivate glides running 4.4.2
Anyone tried running this yet? How stable is it?
I found the link here: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2014/03/update-samsung-captivate-glide-sgh-i927.html
I also dont know, for any rom that has separate gapps, when would you flash those? After or before the new rom? at the same time? Like, if after a ROM flash it automatically reboots, it will boot up with no gapps and likely not run - correct?
Was just curious about how buggy it is. Even if down the road when things are smoother, im excited to see if i can get this one running!

Gapps is included. You must install rom zip first, because it formats system partition.
Official gapps doesnt compatible with our phone, I think its better not installing.
hmm..

I am using omni ROM . . somehow I find it less buggy than cm 11
Nevertheless I would wanna give my thanks and even though I am pointing out bugs . . I really do appreciate his work .. A lot
Omnirom is very very stable has all if not most of the theming features except for trebuchet launcher
//It is a bit more battery consuming but I like it cause I am able to run my processor at 1.4ghz which is sweeeet!!!
//It has issues with OK Google functionality the audio is lagged and irritating
//The Google experience launcher is not built for it
//It has issues with Google maps 7 but there is a fix to have 6th version to back you up when needed
//it has issues with Skype and the fix is work in progress I guess..
//GPs is a bit slow but works
//WiFi direct crashes for me
Once in a blue moon the phone might rebot itself cause of a crash..
Though considering WiFi tethering , 3g switching, link2sd ,memory swapping
Ksm everything is working really try it . . its an amazing experience from an amazing phone
Can someone tell me the difference between wifi direct, wifi sharing, and wifi sharing manager??
Wifi itself is working in 4.4.2 right?
Also, were your keyboard backlights working automatically or did you ened qwerty led?
is qwerty led something that needs to be running all the time. or "ongoing" in the top drawer?
Wi-fi direct is a type of communication between two devices, similar to Bluetooth, so you can send files. I never used this, even when transfering big files from one phone to another, it's better to use an USB OTG cable - the connection speed is lightning fast!
Don't know what you mean about wi-fi sharing. Maybe wi-fi tethering (hotspot) - it's when you share your phone 2G/3G internet connection via wi-fi. This thing is working fine. Wi-fi itself is working, of course.
As for keyboard light: when tested OmniROM, I used liblight solution, but the qwertyled using is simple too: just launch it and you're done. While the service is running, keyboard light will work.
Now I'm on CM 11, and I have 11 days of uptime already, I recommend this ROM (but that's just my taste). In CM 11 keyboard backlights are working from the box, no need for qwertyled.
Also, I looked at the link you posted, to the true-android blog. Please, don't use the guide one can found there, it's awful. You can't install 4.4.2 ROM with recommended 2.6.3.0 TWRP, the correct one is 2.6.3.1 from bubor here, and you don't need any gapps beside included in the ROM.
Better use this guide from stormdude124: [UPDATED][2014][How-to]Everything you need to know and do to your Captivate Glide, it's updated, it's verified and there's no ads!

Can you use a cyanogen mod rom with clockworkmod recovery installed? i remember trying cyanogenmod with my phone and couldnt get it to work.
Just flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 from link above, it's superior to clockworkmod recovery (CWM) in all ways: touch interface, working backups with compression, charging support and it allows to install KitKat roms. With CWM you can install ROMs up to android 4.3, so, you still can install CM 10.1.3 or CM 10.2 with CWM, but not CM 11.
about wifi direct and sharing...

Hey yeah the difference btw wifi direct and sharing is that in wifi direct you connect two devices directly to transfer files...
in wifi sharing you need to host a web adress to share your files
as a result in wifi sharing you host a list of your stuff on a web adress(local) which gets downloaded by other devices on your wifi connection
and a wifi sharing manager can either do this (host ur files using an ip) or my personal favorite is astro which can acess my pc's sharing folder over wifi which is preety awesome>..unlimited storage
also note that in a wifi sharing manager you cannot recieve files easily . . maybe airdroid but it can only run on a pc
wifi sharing apps are airdroid and other file managers like root browser
wifi direct requires specific drivers and libs... i guess.. hence not all devices can do it ..
anyway you should go for cm 11 or omni both are incredibly stable with an occasional hiccup.. which is occasional heh
also would suggest that if you do proceed to install please follow from the developer sources on xda rather than some blog etc
Hi guys, I wanted to start a discussion on the benefits of rooting and any available tweaks/mods/apps people are using. Thanks

For me at least until my SW3 updates to Android 6 I see very little point in rooting my SW3... And as yet other than twrp and Kernel I don't feel there are enough mods etc or even Custom roms(if any) to even bother with rooting... On a phone there are huge benifits but a watch that relies on your phone for most everything I see no advantages yet...
I know what you mean, side loading apps is cool, and being able to change the DPI. Firefox and Google keyboard works well, cm cleaner works perfectly and helps uninstalling apps and es file manager is good for installing apps
Be honest. Do you really need a reason beside "it can be done"?
No lol, but I want tweaks

LOL I guess not. Andhopefull we will get Marshmallow soon and then will have a proper play!
Hopefully, it's been seen in the wild. Just need them to pull their fingers out.
So, while I agree that waiting to root until after 1.4 might be a good idea, here is what I did with root...
Direct wifi access with apps (mostly es File Explorer for on watch app install and uninstall)
Kernel experimenting and tweaking
Uninstall wear apps but keep host apps on phone
All done without a computer (after initial install and setup)
Run most terminal commands with a single tap (like changing dpi)

Link?
if this question was dedicated to me, my answer is:
I read posts about android and chrootet linux distros and used a similar technique to do this with my smartwatch 3. As soon as I am allowed to post a DEV-THREAD I will probably make a quick tutorial about it.
Looking forward to it. Not something I've looked at
