Ladies and Gents! let Internet Connection Sharing live again on BJ2 & BJ1 w/ WM6!!!

[chudy2]

OK everybody, good news for those who missed ICS!!!

I finally got ICS working on my BJ2 and am 99.9% confident the same method will work on BJ1!!

It was tested and verified on my BJ2 and I will need someone to verify it for BJ1.

It was a tough nut to crack but seems so obvious in retrospect

I am hoping the same problem prevented Carousel from working and will get cracking on it next week...

I will wrap the ICS component in a nice little package and you should expect it within the next 12-18 hours for you enjoyment!!!

Hey hey, alright!

[bert269]

hey...let us know when it's ready to distribute.
Thanks for the great work!

[chudy2]

got hung up trying to get carousel working last night so i didnt get around to wrapping this up...

unfortunately i cant get carousel to work...oh well..

i'll post a cab this evening hopefully (busy till then) and will definitely share the stuff with da_g for when he's ready to cook a new rom...


update: one step forward...now carousel.dll and others are loading at bootup on my phone but still nothing on the screen :P to be continued...

nice work getting it to boot chudy. More excited for carousel but I also understand and appreciate working on ICS first. You and Da_G should open up a samsung phone freelance company.

[chudy2]

ok, im giving up on carousel...can't get it to work without really starting to hack stuff around and without a rom kitchen it's getting kinda hard...and im running out of motivation.

one thing's for sure though; this is not a standalone homescreen and it's microsoft's doing...i bet it's winmo 6.1 carousel interface precursor.

it's got some deep rooted dependencies and i ran out of threads to pull so i'm putting it on the backburner now. i'll document where i've gotten so far and maybe someone will be advanterous enough to keep going but with the imminent release of winmo 6.1 i'm not sure it's worth the effort.

i think its a problem with mismatched ddraw/d3d components...

with that said i'll get going on wrapping up ics and will publish it soon...as usual it takes 15% of the time to get 85% complete and then 85% of time to finish the last 15% :P

[Goofus]

I'm pitching a tent right now for ICS.

[godashram]

can't wait for this one...

[chudy2]

OK, who wants to be a guinea pig?

there might be some kinks with the cab file but otherwise it shoudl work...

ok so here's the procedure:

Step0: Make sure your device is app unlocked!!**(see below note!)
Step1: Install the cab file (it might ask you to reboot)
Step2: navigate to \My Documents and click on the .pfx file and leave password blank; run secpolicies.cab first if unsure or the .pfx file wont take!!
Step3: reset device again
Step4: go to start and run intshrui/internet sharing
Step5: report back and lemme know if i fux0red anything up :P

this should work on both BJ1/WM6 and BJ2/WM6

file is temporarily hosted at:
http://www.mdots.net/misc/BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable.cab

**for anyone having issues getting ICS to work (ie connect doesn't work), run this cab and reboot; http://sems.org/content/download/secpolicies.cab

[rhsauer]

when you click on the .pfx file, it asks for a password

[chudy2]

when you click on the .pfx file, it asks for a password

yea, just added that to my notes above, leave it blank

btw, redownload the cab file as i just realized the first ver wont install the internet sharing link properly...

[rhsauer]

Brilliant! Am posting this via Bluetooth/ICS connection from BJII to WinXP notebook. Speedtest shows about 500kbps down and 200kbps up. You 'da man, chudy2! Thanks for what I'm sure was a LOT of hard work.

[dd-mj]

Can you remind me how to unlock the BJII?

[akessler]

doesn't seem to work on my BJI, WM6, latest flash
i run ICS from Start
i press left soft key that says connect (PC connection set to Bluetooth PAN) and the screen flashes briefly and then returns to menu state.

PC and phone paired and Join a Personal Area Network set up on PC
