Root Digging deep into the mind of the Kyocera Event

[Harusane]

So, last night, I decided to finally get into the build.prop and make some modifications. I have to say, I have made some great progress.

It's fast, and pretty smooth. The only issue is that it still gives the unresponsive app notifications, like Facebook and the pointless Google Books, Google Music & Movies apps, even the Google Play Music and such.

I've jotted down some codes and reinstalled my Java JDK, still getting cygwin x86 on the PC for further development. (takes like 40 YEARS for it to download everything!! THE HORROR!! )

Once I finally get that and the kitchen installed, I'm going to see if I can change some things about the Event.

The main goal I want to reach is giving it portable hotspot capabilities. IT'S ANNOYING, NOT BEING ABLE TO USE A PHONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE PORTABLE HOTSPOT/TETHER OPTION!!


This phone is useless in many ways but, I'm going to try and change that. Once I have some sort of success story to accomplish, I will have served this phone quite well.

Please keep us posted on this. I am excited to see what you can do with it. I also have an Event and it is my 3rd android device, 2nd smart phone, and 1st root project. I have already rooted and currently having to use a very glitchy app called barnacle which you can get in the play store, to share my 3g with my laptop. I am also dying to find a way to put cyanogen on it.

I've got wifi tether on my event using the instuctions in the link below. Tether works fine with one glitch.... if you set encryption password it won't stay connected. If you turn encryption off it works fine but then anyone can connect to your hotspot.

I will definitely keep you posted. It's funny. My email just now notified me about your comment.. (4 days later ) lol but, I've been preoccupied with projects. I'm going to download the huge Android SDK bundle tomorrow, since I lost the one I originally had after my computer decided to crash, a couple a months ago. Haha.

I don't like the whole "Facebook app closed, etc." pop-ups, especially when I'm not even in that app or even Google Play Music. It's annoying. Does yours do that? Lol. I have everything else for editing but, I'm pretty sure that once I find a solution, custom roms will finally be created and available from my genius (I am so exaggerating) haha

This is my... 5th, technically 4th rooted android. I can't go a day without root. Lol. First the Optimus V, then the Intercept, which was crappy, then the Triumph and now the Event. Actually 6, because I had two Optimus V's, now only one.. two Intercepts because I bricked the first one. Lied to a Target associate and said it wasn't working. Lol. And then, yeah... I'm just ranting and raving now

Hmm... I'm wondering how you got that working? I've tried that method before but, without the "MMS Clamping" Option, I'm out of luck with that. Lol

I found turning off the encryption pass code got it to work for me
