If you can't get it in the market, you need to install Market Enabler from android market first. (needs to be rooted)

Then, fake your provider to T-Mobile by using Market Enabler.

Then just search Fruit Ninja Free. smile.gif

For Root Explorer, well.. brows.gif

No, it's a governor for SetCPU. Like smarta**, smootha**, ondemand, powersave etc. It's a new governor included in franco's new kernel.
*
oh.. my setcpu doesn't hv this.. wonder isit due to the older version or somethin..

I havnt go through the whole thread yet, sorry if i repeat question

i found out that my x5 cannot detect wifi 802.11g..which i set-up using my laptop under the ad-hoc network..im using broadband, so I was trying to share my internet to the x5

but it can detect 802.11n, which i think is those normal signal send by a router..

anyone tried it?..
*
why don't u share the methods to setup the ad-hoc connection so that I can test for u?

fully charged the phone until 12pm...explore a bit here and there on the phone, wake up at 7.15am..battery status:85%..display:lowest, switched off all connection, switched off all sound effect, switched off haptic feed back..not as bad as it seems...

to set-up an ad-hoc network, go to

control panel > network and sharing center > set up a connection or network (located on the left side bar for my case, vista)

select set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer) network, the description on what the network do is written there

create a network name (ssid), left the security type to be wpa2, secure the network with a password (make sure you turn on your wireless card)

select allow internet connection sharing, switch off firewall and antivirus if yours is very strong..

Go back to the network and sharing center windows, click on "connect to a network" located at the same side bar, scroll down and you can see that you're connected to the network you've just created, just move your mouse to the network name and the description will present, it will says that the radio type is 802.11g. look at other network that you can detect, most of them are 802.11n. (for my case)

before that, make sure that your internet are not from a router, because you need your wireless card to create a network, you're basically disconnecting from the internet to create it if you do the steps i've told you. it only works for those who use broadband (using usb), cable(LAN or dial-up). anything that doesnt occupy your wireless card. this is very useful to share interent when you go to your friend's house that still use cable.

go to your phone, wireless and networks. turn on wifi and you still cant detect it. you can also add wifi network with the same ssid and password. cant work either. so maybe there's something im missing out, or the phone cannot detect it. but it's already written in the websites that this phone can do it..are we scammed?..

i think i'll get a softcase, either red or transparent or both, how much are you selling?
*
i hv setup accordingly to your step above.. i can see "mytest" network appearing with "Waiting for users".. but I'm nt able to detect it thru my phone.
nt sure whether this is due to my notebook as it's a company notebook.. sad.gif

sad.gif i strongly think that the phone cannot detect it, or we need to modified something for it to work. because that's the exact step how i share internet when my friend come over with a laptop. maybe if you've extra laptop, you can try it out and see. if the laptop can detect it, but not the phone. then we need to question the manufacturer.

alright..will be back at night..see you guys..

let me try later with another phone/nb of mine at home...

Anybody knows where I can get another set of Ideos X5 handsfree? The one that comes with the phone just stop emitting sound on the right side. After checking found the insulation got pulled near the handsfree "junction". Wire exposed and already broken. I like the sound quality so I'm looking for another exact replacement. Anybody knows where I can get one?
*
maybe u can check with the phone shop where u get yr phone..
i think they might hv some earphone which will suite the X5.

No android phone support ad-hoc wifi connection by default IIRC. Not sure which website you saw give u the idea that x5 supports it by default. Having said that, if you really really need to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection your phone need to be rooted. You can try to edit wpa_supplicant file or replace it with pre modded ones. I've done it before on my HTC magic and SEx10 and both works fine. Haven't tried it with x5 though.

you can read more about wpa_supplicant here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961

Side note: If you are running Window 7 , then try http://www.connectify.me/windows.html (share internet via proper infrastructure mode wifi)

i tried connectify this morning also.. my X5 can detect and when trying to connect, it will keep on staying at connecting and cant get the IP.. sad.gif

if ur x5 can see the wireless connection your laptop/pc is hosting, that already means that connectify is already working.

Your problem seems more likely to be a configuration/hw issue where the DHCP is not working properly.

Its 2 different problem
*
i think the DHCP IP assignment is done by the connectify.. it's either the s/w can assign IP to my phone, or the phone wifi siao siao n cant connect to the s/w..
