Well first of all, hello to you all. I've been browsing this forum since I bought my ally and since there is 5 feet of snow outside, I figured id join.

So I've been looking over my results on speed tests and just general lag on my phone and I'm getting ready to nuke verizon. Before I was running like 1.5 to 2 mb download speeds and now I'm getting .8 at max. Now I've heard of people hacking the speeds but idk if this is server side or client side or if it can be done to ally yet.

Welcome. =D. I dont know anything about the hack tho
 
Well I know we still have unlimited data but I guess what is going on is that once a certain data limit is reached then they are capping the speeds off. I have full signal so there shouldn't be the speeds that I'm seeing. I'm pushing 20 gigs overall because I've downloaded tons of roms and youtube videos. This phone is my laptop anymore.

Plz tell us if it works or not when you try it. Actually, you might not notice the difference, but yeah.

Sorry. I followed the guide to the letter and it sent bootloops on velocity. That's without making flashable .zip, simply using root explorer to put the services.jar file in place. I'm trying it on byron bare now, will update when finished.

Edit: come to find out odexed roms cant be modified this way, sorry guys. If anyone is running A Froyo Rom, send me your services.jar file and I'll try it out.
 
im trying to use this but i cant seem to pull the services.jar file. tried to pull, copy to sd card, keeps saying it doesnt exist

Edit

*got it, had to mount system.

*completed the guide. no boot loops or other issues so far.
 
simple in the update-script (make with notepad++ in unix mode (eol conversion menu)):

Code: 
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.2 10
make sure there is a blank line after the last line. make a folder labeled META-INF and make a new one in there labeled com and inside there a folder labeled google and inside that a folder labeled android. and then finally inide there you can place the update-script. REMOVE THE FILE-TYPE EXTENSION! (E.G. .txt)

make a new folder in the same area where your meta-inf folder is and name it system. place your modified services.jar in there

folder structure:
Code: 
META-INF
     com
          google
               android
                    update-script
SYSTEM
     services.jar
ZIP that up and flash with signature verification off

you dont have to use a flashable zip. just use ADB

Must use following commands in recovery:
Code: 
adb shell
mount system
exit
adb remount
adb shell
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
exit
make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache
