[Q] CM7 Tethered? - Motorola Droid X2

So I see CM7 has been released for 2.3.4 on the DX2, but I see it says tethered. I know there is a difference between tethered and untethered. With the release for CM7 saying tethered, does that mean that everytime the phone dies or it is reset/shut-off you have to reapply the flash? Last time I tried to flash to this release I almost bricked my phone. Just afraid for it to happen again. Is this release worth the flash?

No, it's none of that stuff. It just means that it now supports tethering. It has a wireless hotspot app like verizons that you can use to tether your laptop, ipod, xoom or what have you to. It also supports usb tethering although I haven't tried it. The hotspot works great though.
In other words,,,, you can use your phone for internet access for whatever other devices you have if need be.

Ok so is this a stable ROM? Worth the flash?

Runs steady for me. Like all roms, it has it's own little quirks. Also, HDMI doesn't work on it. Don't know if that's a problem for you or not. Other than that, everything on it works great for me.

What about like Facebook sync and such?

Vulkano

Anyone able to get the Vulkano app to work on their Atrix?
http://www.monsoonmultimedia.com/index.html
Nope. Doesn't work on mine (both wifi and 3g). It worked over wifi on my nexus one.
Same here. No go.
Vulkano - No access to P2P
Hello,
it seems that there are limitations to server access. The vulkano's app is working but I have an error message saying it can not reach P2P server...(both wifi & 3G+ connection)
We have to wait 1 or 2 months :
Thank you for contacting Monsoon Support.
Existing Android Player for Vulkano is not compatible with Atrix. We are developing a compatible Player for Atrix which would be there in a month or two.

1 or 2 months... or years :-(
Just noticed that a couple recent reviewers of the app have reported that it is working with their atrix's (on wifi) since updating to gingerbread.
After updating to GB I'm still having no luck on either wifi or 3g. Anyone here get it to work?
Vulkano App
I would also like to get this going. I’ve had my Vulkano for a few months now, and it’s worked with all my devices.
Now that I have an Atrix it doesn’t load past the buffering screen.
I’ve used it on my Evo (with variety of Roms both Froyo and GB and its worked on all of them), the eLocity A7 (Froyo and ported HC), and most importantly my Xoom tablet.
I did have to contact Monsoon when I first got my Xoom, and within a week or two I got an update an it started working.
Not sure why this doesn’t work on the Atrix (Froyo), I also tried it on the Droid 3 (GB), but no love there either.
Seems odd that it works with the Xoom but not on the Moto phones, perhaps the Vulkano doesn’t like BLUR.
I have a port of MotoBlur for the eLocity A7, I’ll have to try to test this and see if that makes a diff.
Hopefully Monsoon gets this going as this app/product has been awesome for me, and I would be bummed to completely lose this functionality as I have retired my Evo and don't like taking my Xoom too many places.

I used Vulkano app a lot with my Moto Milestone but Atrix is a no go. I also wrote to them and they replied they were working on an Atrix compatible version. No updates yet. It's sad.
I've ben corresponding with Monsoon as recent as this morning, and they've stated that the Atrix and Droid 3 both should work.
However, I am still running Froyo on my Atrix, and they requested I upgrade to GB for it to work. I don't plan on upgrading for another week or so, does anyone have the official GB on their phone that can test the app again? I've got version 2.0.100 on all my devices and it appears to be the latest.
I've asked them what the diff is, as it really shouldn't matter.
Could be the usual pass the buck line, but that's why we are here, to confirm reality!
I also ran into some problems trying to load Blur on my eLocity tablet to determine if maybe Blur has anything to do with it.
Joyo22 - What version of Android is the Milestone running? And does it run MotoBlur? I wanna say that there is a newer version of Blur that has come out with the latest Moto Phones, but I cannot be sure as this is my first Moto phone. Although, if I recall properly, the blur build I have for my tablet DOES NOT require a "Blur Acct" which leads me to believe this is a different version.
Thoughts anyone??
I was going to help you out but I went and checked out this Vulkano stuff and it appears it's equipment you have to buy to do things you can easily do for free. Also i don't watch live tv anymore, i stream everything over netflix or through the actual channels website. Good luck!
I finally unlocked and rooted my Atrix and loaded up Vulkano under the GB build and it works just fine. I've also tried out a few GB Roms, and had no issues either.
Monsoon stated there was an issue with the RTSP client in the Moto 2.2 build, and that it was resolved in their GB build.
Hopefully everyone's is working now. However, I did not use the official 4.5.91 OTA, only builds which were pre-rooted.

Well I have a Hava Platinum and Vulkano App did work well on my Milestone. I installed the latest version of Vulkano on my 2.3.4 Atrix and It won't load. ANy solution?
I see you are on ninja rom, I haven't tried that one yet.
I'll flash ninja on mine and see if it works.
It may take me a day or two (come on weekend!), as my Atrix is my daily phone.
You've got the platinum eh, I think I've got the lava and I'm using the free app. have you tried both apps? also what version(s) of the app are you using.

Is it working for you on 3g/cellular data connection?
I can only get it to work on the local wifi network that my hava platinum is connected to. When I try to connect with 3g or another wifi spot I get "Device is unreachable. Access to device may be blocked by your router or the internet service provider"
I'm on GB via OTA and rooted.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: http://www.myhava.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3198 looks like it may be a problem with the router that my hava is connected to. Guess I will have to wait until the next time I get out to my parents house to get it configured properly. I'll post my results after I give it a try.
vulkano
Yeah mine works just fine over Sprint 3g on HTC Evo, Verizon's 3g on Moto Xoom, and on AT&T HSPA+ "4g" with Atrix. However, I have the Lava box, which there is something different with this box and the Flow box compared to the other 4 boxes Hava has (your platinum). Note the apps state this on the Android Market.
Have you tried emailing customer service, they were very responsive when I contacted them. Were even willing to review my logfiles to troubleshoot.
I think I had that issue, and had to check the port settings on the router. Its been a while though I'll have to go in and look at my settings to see what, if anything I did.
Try re-running the setup, I know I did that a few times over. Also on occasion I have to unplug and reboot my box as the connection seems to get locked up. Happened 2 or 3 times over several months.
Ninja SpeedFreak 4.5 works for me via 3g.
Try re-loading the rom, and don't forget to wipe dalvik
i am buy the flow today

Flyer not picking up hot spot

I have a Droid 1 and it is rooted. When I run Barnacle tether my Flyer does not show that there are any wifi signals in the area. I do not have trouble connecting to my house wifi but I would really like it if I can get my Flyer to tether to my phone.
I know barnacle is working properly because I am using it right now with my netbook.
After doing some more searching it seems like this a problem with all tablets, and the only fix is to root the tablet. So I guess I will be patiently waiting for root.
I can connect to my evo using the wifi tether app. I would suspect that its the barnacle app and not the flyer.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I can connect to my Desire Z WiFi hotspot running CM7.
Ad-Hoc
I think Barnacle creates an Ad-Hoc network and that may be why the Flyer doesn't connect. It works fine with my Inspire 4G which doesn't use that method.

I am in the same boat, droid 1 patiently waiting for a way to tether to the htc flyer
I connect my HTC Flyer to my phone with no problem.
Yeah the issue is that the wifi hotspot you created is adhoc. If you use the froyo built-in tethering, that should work.
I think the problem is the Droid 1 and how it creates a hotspot. Because I have used both barnacle and also wifi tether with the same results. My netbook can see it but not my tablet.
I am not sure why this is because I am also running CM7, but I guess it must be the way the Droid 1 is. And until the flyer gets rooted there is nothing I can do about it.

As in the one you have to pay for through verizon? I don't like tethering that much. lol. Id rather just wait then.
Cm7 has built in WiFi tethering. You don't need an app to do it. I suggest trying that under the WiFi settings. You don't have to pay for it.

I don't know. Tmobile doesn't charge. But I doubt you'd have to pay if it's a third party ROM like cyanogenmod.

I have a rooted d1 running Project Elite 4.2 flawlessly. I can connect anything including an iPod Touch to my droid via Wireless Tether app with the exception of my Flyer tab.
Why is the tablet different then everything else? It does not even see the d1.
Any suggestions other than changing ROMS? PE 4.2 has been the best on my phone.

Thats exactly why I started this thread. I agree PE 4.2 is amazing you should try some of the new GB roms they have really come a long way.
If we get the flyer rooted there are some apps and some .zip files out there that can fix this for us. We just need root access.
As someone already suggested, it sounds like the Flyer's wireless client doesn't recognize ad-hoc networking. Only infrastructure networking like hotspots, office and home WiFi.
Maybe there's and apps with better control of the wireless stack.

I have tried several of the gingerbread Roms with poor results. PE, liquid and cm7 all run great at first but become very buggy after a day or so. My d1 likes PE 4.2 the best.
Are there other tether apps that don't use ad-hoc?

I'll PM The Info.
My X2 Hotspot works and I called Verizon to verify I do NOT have that feature, they said it should have not worked without prompting me to add that feature, which it did not.
All I have done is this: Soon after I got the phone I bricked it trying to get Rom Manage/Clockworkmod to work, so I restored the 2.3.4 SBF (VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-150-30_1FF_01.sbf), it's new so it came with 2.3.3. After it was back working, I then rooted it using PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.06 so I could install a few apps that need root (i.e. adfree, TitainiumBackup, etc). Then I just tried enabling the Hotspot to see what would happen. It just asked me for name, password, etc., but never said anything about paying or adding the feature to my account. That's why I called after it worked, just to make sure.
Any idea why it's working without me paying for it? Surely not just because I rooted it?

[Q] Looking for a ROM that meets my wish list

Here's my wish list, in order of priority:
working wired tether
sense-based
gingerbread
My Verizon
NFL mobile
The wired tether seems to be the sticking point. I think the leaks started disabling it after a certain date, at which point it was disabled in a lot of roms. It works in Das bamf 1.0.4, but later versions broke it but fixed My Verizon and NFL.
I've tried several others and haven't found one that works yet. Anyone have a ROM that covers these bases? Would CM7 work, minus the sense?
Thanks
I think Sky Raider will fit all of that except for maybe My Verizon. There is an update coming soon but I don't know if My Verizon was something given much attention.
BAMF SoaB (Sense 3.5) works for all of that except I have no idea on the nfl mobile. I don't follow team sports.
KillaSense is my Rom. It's GB with the latest base 2.11.605.5, stock Sense 2.1, working wifi tether (go to wifi tether app, hit menu, settings, check routing fix and your good to go), working my Verizon, and I had NFL mobile working (hint: try signing in to my Verizon app first). Check it out.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt powered by KillaSense 3.0
Wired tether didn't work on SoaB or KillaSense. Keep in mind that I am talking about WIRED tether (aka Internet Connection Mode), not WiFi. The PC I'm tethering to doesn't have a wireless card.
SoaB didn't even have it in the menu options. If you can find it, let me know - it is a great looking ROM. KillaSense had the option, but when you check the box, the wheel just spins forever and doesn't do anything.
Wired Tether worked on SkyRaider, but My Verizon didn't. Wired tether is more important to me, so I'm going to stick with that until I find a different ROM that fits all of my needs. Thanks guys!
Pretty simple move files needed to make my Verizon work to skyraider. The file names escape me at the time, its like signonengine, ssopermissions, and my Verizon something to that effect.

Yeah I found that somewhere else. I didn't need to do the first part, just the part about logging in under no PRL.
I was on a super old froyo rom until recently because I was too lazy and almost everything worked that I needed. So I wasn't up on any of the new fixes. Thanks.

I use Synergy rom (latest nightly) and I can do all you asked for - though I have yet to try nfl. I use my verizon on a regular basis though so it should work. Also if wired tether is an all the time thing think about PDA net, I use to use that when i would wire-tether alot.
Why not use the rooted stock 605.5 gingerbread? Does all of the above and still root for any apps you want it for. I just downloaded My Verizon from market and it works. I'm using it b/c it seems to be giving me the best battery life i've ever had. I'm confused as to why as stock roms normally kill my battery, but i guess results will vary.

wifi tether and CM7.2 problems

I have an issue with I try to use any tethering other than PDANet with my Droid x2. I actually had this issue when it was stock, and thought maybe they had some safety built into the stock ROM. When I switch on wifi or wired tether, as soon as I start using a bunch of data, (ie 60 k/s sustained for a half minute or so) my 3G magically goes away, and stays that way until my connection is idle again. If I go through this cycle a bunch of times, eventually it'll become stable for the better part of an hour before going through the same issue. Now, as far as I can tell, this has something to do with the way Verizon monitors tether usage, but I'm on CM7.2, so wouldn't that sort of 'safety' be gone by now?
When I use PDANet, I can use it as much as I like without even a hiccup, so I know it isn't my connection. Any suggestions as to the cause, and how I can go about correcting it? Thanks!
Strange problem and sorry I'm drawing a blank... although i do have an image of an old country doctor smacking you up side the head with a rubber chicken saying "well use PDAnet"!! (For you youngsters that a Hee Haw reference)...

Never used tethering with Linux, almost sounds like the problem might be on the computer side as I've never had problems using it with Windows.
You might do better asking for advice concerning the best way to tether with the particular version of Linux your using.

It's not the computer, because it works fine with every other phone. Also, when I use the built in tether with my desktop, it does the same thing. When I use PDANet, it's fine.
