All insults aside...

VZW does charge you to use the "easy" way of tethering.

You can bypass it with a custom rom and probably with the various tethering apps (like pdanet).

and you can do it without a custom rom or rooting.

[Random Hero]

Well the way you worded it sounded like you had to be rooted or use some super hard to use app... hint "easy" way


You download an app, install and your ready to go. no root no VZW bs.

Well Pandora works again...

Just got froyo and clocked to 1.3ghz very much better.

[random-strike]

froyo just sounds so lame

I am on SimplyStunning 4.6 with the latest 1.2ghz kernel, using "wireless tether" to tether. I believe the root needed tether programs are not charged for, yet. I know my usage has been free the last few statements, and on the forums peoples tend to agree.

link to a how to or something?

and everything is running fine on it, no bugs?

[Jorsher]

If you don't *need* wireless tethering, just use this app:

Custom roms aren't difficult at all to flash, but still not as easy as just installing an APK.  They are the "cleaner" method for tethering, since you don't need a BS app on both the phone and PC to tether.

I read somewhere that pdanet cost something... true?  I know I can probably torrent it but while on the phone its slow to look up.

Ive had Froyo for months now + flash. But I am running Cyanogen Mod 6.0 and is way better than bugless beast. Rom manager FTMFW. Ive had my droid running 1.25Ghz for months as well. I love how in setCPU it has profiles so when the battery runs lower it underclocks it.

Just installed swype as well, fucking kicks ass

Swype is BA.  Can't stand a regular KB on my phone anymore.

Its a little hard to get used to at first, but I cant go back anymore either

there is no root for my desire yet, bootloader version of like .98, will just have to wait

Wat?

All you should need to do is downgrade.

Find earlier official rom, flash, and root.

Profit.

[Jorsher]

I could be wrong.  I don't know jack about your phone.  But AFAIK, as long as it's an official, signed rom, it'll let you flash it.

I had to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.0 (lulz) to root my G1.  Downgraded, rooted, installed custom recovery rom, installed custom rom.

Do they block downgrading from .98 or something?

[Random Hero]

whos got a copy of swype that works, I havn't even searched for a copy in awhile.

I prefer BB 0.4 over CM6. Why do you like it better?

[brine04]

I rooted my desire from 2.1 nigga

[t_cel_t]

How? I got a cdma desire. Not a gsm one.

The kernel they use in BB and my phone do not get along at all. CM6 has alot of features that no other rom has had. Black/grey text is bad ass, spare parts, dev tools, dspmanager, plus the rom has a settings menu in settings.

What phone do you have? It seems each build of swype is built for a specific phone

Mine is gsm

moto droid.

[MAJORAHOLE]

got an eris, running froyo based version of a cyanogenmod rom, called nonsensikal 5.6
i like it alot, voice search is pimp shit compared to the old wanna be one from 2.1/1.6/1.5.
only shityy thing is i dont have the flash, yet. the roms with it are unstable.
overall, the launcher pro plus is the shit, i actually paid for that app(first time ever)
wireless tether is what i use to tether with.

[glustic]
