Compatibility issue of HUAWEI USB 3G Modem Dongle for the Uberoid

   Most of the HUAWEI 3g modem are not compatible with Uberoid ROM due to the auto loaded software from modem flash drive.

So make compatible to Uberoid ROM is disabling of the flash drive.

Here is the how to do that:


If you have windows XP PC you can do this throug "Hyper Terminal"
Locate to "Hyper Terminal"
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Hyper Terminal
Other wise (Win7\Vista) use Tera Term
http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/

How to use Hyper Terminal

1. Launch Hyper Terminal
2. In the Connection Description dialog box, enter a name and choose an icon you like for the connection. Then click the

OK button.
3. Then you should see Connect To dialog box, In "connect using" choose your modem. Then click OK.
4. After that if you look main window of hyperterminal is like Note Pad.
5. Then you can paste the AT command there

AT COMMAND For HUAWEI Modem:

Disable Flash Drive:
at^u2diag=256

if working properly then it should return OK
If your modem answers ERROR, instead you can use command:

at^u2diag=0
PS: Please not that this command will disable the microSD-drive if availble on USB Modem also.

To Enable the flashdrive and the microSD-drive:
at^u2diag=255

I have tested it on my Huawei E1550 and it worked perfectly.

Changing boot animation of android tablet wm8650

Boot animation is the animation that plays after the static images during boot up. On my tablet this was the Uberoid Logo.

Changing the boot animation is very easy, since boot animation come as archave file (bootanimation.zip), you just need to replace the existing one with your required bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media folder of your device.

If file is not there don't worry just copy to there, because in boot process that will be the higher location for checking the particular file.

if you need to further instruction about accessing device root folders read my article about
