HTC WiFi Router and Sprint 6.5 ROM

mstevens · #1 (**permalink**) 03-22-2010, 12:00 AM

I'm hoping to add the HTC WiFi Router to my newly-upgraded Sprint 6.5 ROM and to have it show up in the Comm Manager. I'm looking for a "clean" solution that involves installing the least "stuff." For example, I'd prefer not to install a whole new Comm Manager. Ideally, it should add (or at least require) no links in the Programs folder. It would be appropriate for an applet to appear in Settings. My strong preference is for something that uninstalls completely if desired.

What solutions have people used for this?

Have you used that .cab in the Sprint 6.5 ROM? How is it working for you?

I have not, since it's a complete replacement for the Comm Manager and includes a bunch of other stuff such as

CM_Bluetooth_1_1_4_0 (HTC Bluetooth Wizard - Helps make bluetooth pairing easier)
CM_Phone_1_1_0_0 (HTC Phone and Pin Utility - Configuring phone settings)
CM_WiFiWizard_1_7_3_0 (HTC Wifi Wizard - Helps make wifi connecting easier)
HTCScroll_1_0_1914_2726 (HTC Scroll DLL - needed for Wifi Sharing)

that I don't really want to mess with. The ROM is working properly at the moment and I especially don't want to screw up the Bluetooth since it was not useful in the 6.1 ROM.

I am also looking for a quick solution to this. If you install just the WiFi Router .cab, will you also need to run the ICS fix to prevent charges?

How are you preventing them from NOT noticing before?

Your account stills shows the data meter going up anytime you use data.
It's not like they aren't noticing anything you do.
They choose to overlook any normal data usage unless you are using your cell phon as a server or something stupid like that.
Which really makes you look stupid in that case.

I'm talking about the .cab that would allow you to use the built-in ICS via USB. If you remember with the TP, it would give you a username/password error when you tried to use it without installing the .cab file. With the TP2, I noticed that when you go to ICS, it just doesn't give you a network to select, therefore you can't connect. If you install just the WiFi Router, how is it different?

I used this 1st link from Mighty Mike's to tether via usb cable - 1st link in thread on my 6.1 stock TP2:

My monthly account would reflect any increased bandwidth - >3-5gb - usage but no increase charges.

I'm not sure this will work for the new 6.5 ROM
