Reason for thread:
There are some discrepancies between Unlocked vs Verizon HTC 10 with the build.xml file as well as numerous variations of instructions for enabling hotspot function for tose that have grandfathered unlimited data I thought I would put up a detailed how to that is specific to this version of the HTC 10 and what are the proper edits to get it to work.
While the popular ROMs enable this by default there are still many that run deodexed debloated versions of the stock ROM. Not to mention the same edits are needed for nonrooted HTC 10s tthru adb so having the correct info archived on the site seemed like a good idea.
(As a note as far as I know if you do not have a rooted ie S-off supersu phone you can do this thru adb and your PC but be very careful to set permissions back to what they were when you transfer the file back.)
As I have only done this on the rooted phone and thus did all editing on the phone itself I am only giving those instructions but the edits needed are exactly the same.
I am making these instructions painfully detailed so anyone can follow. I am also listing root explorer as the app used so I can give specific step by step. Obviously other root browser can be used
Instructions
Phone: Verizon Branded HTC 10 (Sunshine S-off, SuperSU rooted)
1: Installed Root Explorer (from Google Play) (or other root file manager i.e. on that's possibly free)
2: Configure Root Explorer and navigate to default.xml file
----- Open Root Explorer
----- Click on R/W Mode button
----- Supersu window will open, Choose grant access button
----- Navigate from root to " /system/customize/ACC " folder ( there should only be one file in the folder " default.xml "
3: Make a backup copy of default.xml
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the "copy" button that appears on the top tool bar
----- Press the "paste" button that appears on the bottom right of the window
----- There will now appear a new file " default - Copy.xml "
( Basically just make a bkup copy ofr thte default.xml file in the same folder)
4: Edit " default.xml file
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the root explorer setting button in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots
----- Press " Open in Text Editor " button This will open the default.xml file
----- scroll down near the bottom of the file (about 7/8 of the way.) To help locate it will come very soon after a section that has lines:
<int.0,/int>
<int.1,/int>
<int.2,/int>
all the way to 33 and then a couple shorter runs of similar lines. After about another 15-16 lines you will see a line with " tethering " one it. Now you are there.
----- the specific section is: (holding phone in landscape mode will show it as listed below for data on each line)
<app name=Tethering provision"><item type="integer" name="CustomizeCarrierDialogType">0</item>
<item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">4</item
The bold line is the one you will edit. Change the " 4 " or whatever number is there with a " 0 "
----- Now scroll all the way to the bottom of the file. Now scroll up till you find section:
,app name="Wi-Fi Hotspot"><item type="integer" name="hotspot_rule">1</item
<item type="boolean" name="show_passphase">false</item>
<item type="boolean" name="support_showpassword">false</item>
Its right below a " weather " section and above a " wolrdclock " section
The bold line is again the one to edit. Change the " 1" to a " 0 "
------ Press the root explorer setting button again in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots. Choose " Save and Exit "
5 Confirm default.xml permissions
----- As a precaution we want to confirm no changes to the file permissions has occured.
----- Press and hold on the " default.xml " file name to highlight it
----- Press the root explorer setting button again in the upper right corner of the window. Its 3 vertical dots. Choose " Permissions "
----- To the right of the "ENTER OCTAL" button you should see permissions " 0644 rw-r-r- "
----- If all is correct, close root explorer and reboot phone.
6. Confirm Hotspot is functional
----- Go to " Settting " on phone and click on " Mobile Hotspot and Tethering "
----- Turn on via the slider. You should now get the setup procedure and no warning or message to contact Verizon. Choose a SSID name and passphrase for your hotspot .
Finish and test. Hotspot should be working
Note:
There is no reason I could see for adding a line to the build.prop file a few instructions state to do i`f all that is desired is fully functioning hotspot tethering. Everything works without any other changes. There are of course many other tweaks that require build.prop file edits and or additions just not for hotspot function.

Since i got some problems on both my streaks while permanently rooted (lost network connectivity during calls and some crashes) i found a way to keep my lcd density setting saved without being permanently rooted. You have to add the lcd density value in build.prop since it's missing on Froyo.
Here you go:
- root your device with z4 from market
- install root explorer from market
- open root explorer and navigate to /system
- be sure to change "mount r/o" to "mount r/w" in the top left corner
- now search for "build.prop" and longpress it
- select "open in texteditor" to edit the file
- add the following line: "ro.sf.lcd_density=220" (change the value to your desired number)
- save changes and hit "mount r/w" again to change to r/o
- exit root explorer
- now run z4 and press undo-root
- after root is being removed uninstall z4 and reboot your device
Your LCD density is now saved to your desired value without being permanently rooted!
Hope this helps some of you who face similar problems with rooted streaks!
Or if you use DJ Steve's build, you can already edit the update.zip file beforehand .
Hello!
I have found a way to replace the standard dock mode app on titan to an app of your choice.
First of you will have to find the guid of the app you want to replace Dock mode with. For example i will use the GUID of spotify: ca8d6603-a9ae-4a05-8643-baad091ecdd1
!PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON`T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!
1) First go to HKLM/Software/HTC/USBDriver/DockMode with a registry editor of your choice.
2) Here you need to change the Value named AccessoryDockModeGUID to the GUID of the GUID of the application you to popup when you put the phone in the cradle.
3)Open a file explorer of your choice(I used windows mobile device center) and go to "\Application Data\PUBLIC\DOCKMODE" and make a backup of the file named "DockMode".
4)Now open the file with a text editor. You will see the following: "3570f057-6c31-4751-a0a7-899820af6cf4 1 1".
5)In this file replace "3570f057-6c31-4751-a0a7-899820af6cf4" with the GUID of your app for this example "ca8d6603-a9ae-4a05-8643-baad091ecdd1".
6)You should now end up with something like this: "ca8d6603-a9ae-4a05-8643-baad091ecdd1 1 1"
7)Now save the file and reboot your phone!
I have attached the original DockMode file and the original DockMode GUID is: "3570f057-6c31-4751-a0a7-899820af6cf4" in case you forget to take a backup.

And for HTC Car mode app
1) First go to HKLM/Software/HTC/USBDriver/CarMode with a registry editor of your choice.
2) Here you need to change the Value named AccessoryCarModeGUID to the GUID of the GUID of the application you to popup when you put the phone in the cradle.
3)Open a file explorer of your choice(I used windows mobile device center) and go to "\Application Data\PUBLIC\CARMODE" and make a backup of the file named "CarMode".
4)Now open the file with a text editor. You will see the following: "0bfb1b34-aff6-4ac5-8952-9041fd94c760 1 1".
5)In this file replace "0bfb1b34-aff6-4ac5-8952-9041fd94c760" with the GUID of your app for this example "da8734ed-666a-4227-81ea-8fc937752d98".
6)You should now end up with something like this: "da8734ed-666a-4227-81ea-8fc937752d98 1 1"
7)Now save the file and reboot your phone!
