To all subscribers, i will upload a file maybe tonight. You can apply this to teknologist kernel 1.9. If you are running modaco 2.8 or 2.9, you will have to apply teknologist kernel 1.9. To those running MCR 3.0, you will already have teknologist kernel, but can apply the tweak too. It improves battery and memory management..

hi guys, if i want to root, can i use the 2gig SD card that comes with my hero or i have to go and buy the 8 gb SD card?

2gb is enough..space is not really an issye if u have more than 512mb..whats important is to have a fast sd card (class 6)

ok thank you.

Guys, i managed to get wireless tethering running the other way..but i went through too many steps and i dont think its solid to make a tute yet..i'll run it all again and make a new tute for u guys..oh, and i have been told that wpa will not work..

Is it working now? The rapidshare link that is. Let mr know of broken links so i can fix them in case of problems. Im currently on mobile, cant test the links. Someone check for me?

All links working!
Shahz, I'm setting up a new site dedicated to Android and if you're interested in writing articles or contributing then please send me a PM.

Actually, I did plan to start a site too dedicated to Android..But there are lots of sites out there already running for Android..I got my own server and planned to design a nice template for it..Im not sure if I will be able to give dedication to it though..But if you want a community, I can hook us up Provided we have enough people to manage it..

I thought to start with a blog, and create a forum later if the site kicks-off. I'm open to opinions though. Sent you a PM!

Adhoc? will give it a try later, useful for those who did not sign up data plan and have no WLAN at workplace.

Those who interested, here's HOW-TO Link

Yeah..Adhoc connection. PC to mobile bridge connection with internet sharing from the PC..I used to do it a lot on Symbian phones before this because their 3G wasn't that efficient..However, on my Hero, I prefer to use 3.5G connection from Maxis because surprisingly, it kicks the butt of Malaysia's streamyx connection If you want to test the real competition, try using the YouTube application in your Hero - both on wireless and 3.5G. You'll be surprised

I load a 3.5 minute video in 4 seconds on my 3.5G connection

i've tried the adhoc using my Magic and it does work pretty fine. The only problem i face is that with the Adhoc setting in place, normal infrastructure WiFi scanning and connection acts a bit slow and weird. But I do rely on this Adhoc mode heavily as i don't have data plan

So in order to satisfy both situation (Adhoc and Infra),i have actually created some scripts to enable me to switch to Infra (normal) or Adhoc on the fly via GScript on the phone(root required) itself without the need of ADB.

If u guys want it, i can share it out but for it to work there are 2 conditions,
1) U know how to set up ICS on your pc
2) You will have to edit the the Adhoc name to the name you configured in 2 files

cheers

Hehe..its a lot easier on mac..

shah bro .. i already root my htc magic and have a old recovery .. and i wanna change to newest 1 .. 1.51 by amon_ra .. then .. can i use flashrec.apk to replace the current recovery ?? by filling in the blank the recovery name and soo on . .that shows inside one click method from theunlockr
can help me .. thx in advance ..

for the internet sharing from your laptop to your hero, i use this software. Connectify. but it only works on windows 7 laptops because it was actually a scrapped feature of win7 during development. essentially this software turns your laptop into a wi-fi hotspots. you can connect any wi-fi enabled devices not just your hero. but shazs tip is great too. i've tried it already and its working fine.

~tera~ I'm not sure about Magic, but it works on Hero definitely

i find out it already ... flashrec wont work for 1.6 rom ....
now i doest hav recovery ... i try using terminal method(connectbot) from amonra latest recovery thread ... then boot up it wont go to recovery mode ... stuck at htc magic page ... then i remove the battery to normal boot to get into my rom back .. now no recovery mode ... so hard .. thank god that .. flashing new recovery wont brick my phone ... but no recovery mode now .. a big lost to me .. finding ways ..
i think this is easy way to update recovery , coz now using cyanogenmod

QUOTE

via a simple reboot -> Requires Cyanogen or my RA ROM (other ROMs will probably work too, check init.rc where to put the recovery.img)

CODE

Rename recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1H.img to recovery.img
Copy recovery.img to /data
Reboot fully (the recovery will be flashed automatically)
Reboot to recovery

but i din noe how to get/navigate into /data
to copy files ...

i find out my self already .. after pm sta4vag .. and with him guidance now its working .. just for 1.5.0H recovery .. but wont work for 1.5.1H .. tq for reply shahz anyway
