I noticed that I experienced less hiccups using nand but I haven't tried xdandroid in over 6 months. I'm taking there has been some significant improvements.

WIFI Tether for Root only supports WEP, right? For some reason, my HP Touchpad running ICS is more friendly with WPA2-protected networks.

I will look into trying xdandroid again

The built-in tethering app supports infrastructure networks. Most third party ones only do ad-hoc, which I don't think the Touchpad supports.

There was some new wifi tethering app on the market tho, the name is escaping me... 1 sec.

Not sure if this was it, but it might work - http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/

However, I'm hoping there's some effort to get newer kernels to run on NAND. There's definitely benefits, wifi tethering being one of them.

Ah, FoxFi does work in infra mode. When I enable the hotspot in FoxFi, it seems that the built-in android hotspot activates as well. This would be fine if disabling in FoxFi would disable the built-in hotspot. However, when I disable the FoxFi hotspot, the android hotspot active status message does not go away. Additionally, if I try to re-activate the FoxFi hotspot after deactivating I get an error. Also results in an eventual crash / SOD.

Ok, I'll try to post logs over the next few days.

By the way, do you guys use a widget to switch off 3G / mobile data sync? If so, could you direct me to the app? The built-in toggle widget only has enable / disable data sync. I'd prefer to have a one button widget that disables or enables 3G and the data sync in one go.

I've used both, and currently use the first one. (note they only turn off 3G but that pretty much turns off sync too :p)

As far as I know, such a widget is actually not possible because Android doesn't expose those settings to userspace. I use the 2G-3G OnOff one that JDog2pt0 linked (the second link) on my phone because I prefer to switch to 2G when I'm not actively using data, and all it does is open up the menu with the data options. (But the "data enabled" button is on the same menu.)

The first one actually turns the data on or off without opening up the menu. The second one opens the menu up and you turn the data on or off.

Oh. I guess it's just the 2G/3G switch that doesn't have userspace access, not the main data on/off switch.

i posted a last test kernel prior to next release. Just testing the limits of the new batt driver. Should be a bit more aggressive than the first kern.

http://rhodium-nand.googlecode.com/files/Kernel_NewBattTest2.zip

if nothing crazy happens, ill most likely throw this bad boy on the last omgb release.


Can you check this post please. Is it possible that sdcard slot make some havy battery drain?

I need some rhod100 folk to examine this . This will come in the last OMGB.

Some rhod100 folk reported their CID and I figured this would be a way to determine the KB type.

Code:
	if [ $CID = "HTC__102" ] ; then
	echo "USING EXPERIMENTAL RHOD100 (DE LAYOUT)"
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_de_microp-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/microp-keypad.kl
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_de_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/microp-keypad.kcm.bin
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_de_navi_pad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
	elif [ $CID = "HTC__405" ] ; then
	echo "USING EXPERIMENTAL RHOD100 (IT DEFAULT)"
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_it_microp-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/microp-keypad.kl
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_it_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/microp-keypad.kcm.bin
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_it_navi_pad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
	elif [ $CID = "HTC__203" ] ; then
	echo "USING EXPERIMENTAL RHOD100 (FR DEFAULT)"
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_fr_microp-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/microp-keypad.kl
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_fr_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/microp-keypad.kcm.bin
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_fr_navi_pad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
	else
	echo "USING EXPERIMENTAL RHOD100 LAYOUT (UK DEFAULT)"
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_uk_microp-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/microp-keypad.kl
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_uk_microp-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/microp-keypad.kcm.bin
	cp -f /system/etc/keymaps/rhod100_uk_navi_pad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
	fi

I harvested thos numbers from some posts we had but it may not all be 100% correct. Also did i miss any other KB layouts ? if so what are they and what may be their matching CIDs ..

Thanks folks

Hi. I posted my phone's CID a while ago on ppcgeeks OMGB thread. It's a RHOD500 with a RHOD400 KB layout.

Thats what people do now i think .. no one stands around with the wrong kb.

My goal was just to flash and forget. 400/500s are pretty much there but 100/GSMs are the tough ones.

If no one answers, i'm releasing it this way.

    This is a testing thread for OMGB. Here is what this build is all about. I'm quoting "r2doesinc" and adding my own comments relative to our build. This build was made with full permission of the OMGB dev team.

    http://rhodium-nand.googlecode.com/files/OMGB_UPDATE-02012012.zip

    Latest version 1.2.3( May 4 2012) Latest
    http://rhodium-nand.googlecode.com/files/OMGB_rhodium-1.2.3-05042012.zip

    You will need the following to get started (LK, Recovery and of course OMGB).

    http://rhodium-nand.googlecode.com/files/RHODIMG.NBH

    Instructions are simple. README.

    Important Notes
    1 - GPS was removed from 1.2.3. However, here is a link to add it back via recovery if you want to test it. Its still a little buggy
    2- CDMA rhods - I strongly recommend updating your radio to the latest vz radio.
    4 - If you find your touch screen is not very accurate. You may need to calibrate it. Download our calib app here

    The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

    I've been MIA for a while but i'll come back soon. I'm in the process if finalizing a new batt driver for the rhod so i'll post the details once its ready for testing. :D

    Partial Update (2-21-2012)

    Partial Update (2-21-2012)

    Unfortunately I left too many things open to publish the latest OMGB so for now i'm just going to release latest LK and Recovery.

    It's no longer a secret, we now will use cwm as our main recovery. Note this is not the same as the one originally posted, so if you downloaded that one. Just get rid of it and use this below.
    http://rhodium-nand.googlecode.com/files/cwm_recovery.img

    This recovery also includes a piece of code that will help me identify some of the sub variants. So if you have a tellus or one of the rhod100's who has the broken keyboard, you need to do the following

    adb shell
    #cat /sys/class/htc_hw/cid
    CWS_001

    Note the output above is from the test rhod300 i have. You should have a different value. Goal here is for the rhod500 tellus users to see what their CID is and if its not the default verizon, then use a diff keyboard. Same logic applies to rhod100uk/de/etc etc folk


    Also the latest LK is here. This is hopefully the last time you will need to wipe your phone to update LK using the NBH. We can now update LK from fastboot directly making the NBH a one time install.

    Here is a list of fixes on LK
    1) Serial number is now the OEM serial. I finally found it on nand so we dont need to generate one.
    2) I now double check the variant from mem and nand. Just to be safe.
    3) Lk can update itself now. Big improvement since you dont need to wipe anymore to update.

    Hey ACL was the Wifi init fix patch ever implemented into omgb kernel?

    -- Starfox

    This is my last release of OMGB. I wish i had more time, but it seems like things are only going to get more hectic for me.

    I might pull an all nighter every now and then. Who knows i might release ics or jelly bean.. hahah

    ;)
