Froyo, version 2.2 of Android, comes with application that allow you to share your 3G connection to anothers Wi-fi devices, but, if you don’t have a Wi-fi network card in your computer, this application have not usability.
ProxoId, free application available in Android Marketing, allows you to share connection from your Android only using USB cable.
It needs a stand alone program and Android drivers running in your PC/laptop to work.
The driver and stand alone program can be found in a ZIP file for Windows 32 bits here and Windows 64 bits here. If you’ve already installed manufacturer driver (from CD), skip to Finding your smartphone section.
Installing drivers
Uncompress ZIP file and connect your Android to PC. The new hardware wizard will be shown.
Choose “No, not this time” and click in “Next”. In following screen, choose”Install from a list or specific location”. Click “Next”.
Enable the options “Search for the best driver in these locations” and “Include this location in the search”, then click in “Browse”.
Go to directory where you have uncompressed the ZIP file > “usb_driver” > “x86″, like image bellow.
Click in “OK”, “Next” and follow next steps until complete the installation.
Make sure your Android is connected to computer. Open the directory “proxoid-adb” and run “check.bat”. A screen with number of your device, like this below, should be displayed.
If don’t, try to desconnect and connect your smartphone again or try to reinstall the drivers.
Configuration screen is opened when ProxoId runs:
“Start/Stop ProxoId” – Control service to share the connection;
“Port” – Port number to proxy
“User-Agent Filter” – Mask to User-Agent (Browser).
Open “Start” menu > “Control Panel” and “Internet Options”. Click in tab “Connections” and in “LAN Settings”.

ome Android smartphones have low capacity internal memory and not allow you to install many apps.
At Android 2.2 there is a possibility migrate the apps to SD card after instalation, but some applications not allow to do this.
Looking for a fix to solve this problem in my Motorola Droid, I found a way to install apps directly in SD card, like show in Mundo Zoom, and not need root.
Download ZIP file from Android SDK and extract. Browse to folder “android-sdk-windows\platform-tools“.
Set your Android to debug mode. Don’t you know? “Settings” > “Applications” > “Development” and enable “USB debugging” option.
Connect your smartphone in USB and enable “Charge Only” on USB Connection Management.
Click in Start Menu, Run. Type “cmd” e press Enter to open command prompt.
With command prompt and Windows Explorer opened, click and drag file “adb.exe” to prompt window, after, insert a space and type “shell”. Press Enter.
The “$” simbol and cursor should appear. Now type “pm setInstallLocation 2” and press Enter
This command sets partition “2″ (SD Card) as default to install applications.
Done! That`s all you need for apps to be installed directly in your SD card
I’ve found many tutorials about this topic, but only one, found in Luis Gallardo’s blog, worked for me.
Luis’s tutorial explain how to install on Ubuntu 9.10, so some steps are not necessary. I’ll show necessary steps to install on Ubuntu 10.04.
You need to download drivers from Avasys site. Go to this link, scroll down the page, choose “Epson Stylus CX4300/
Now, download “iscan-data_1.9.0-1_all.deb“, “iscan_2.26.4-2.ltdl7_i386.deb” and “iscan-plugin-cx4400_2.1.3-1_i386.deb“. After, run commands:
sudo dpkg -i iscan-data_1.9.0-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i iscan_2.26.4-2.ltdl7_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i iscan-plugin-cx4400_2.1.3-1_i386.deb
Make sure the scanner is connected and turned on and run command
lsusb
Should appear a list of devices connected to the USB ports, like this:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:083f Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus DX4450 Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04fc:05d8 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f3:0216 Elan Microelectronics Corp. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 18e3:9101 Fitipower Integrated Technology Inc Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
The first line (“Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:083f Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus DX4450“) means the scanner was detected on address 003:004.
These steps are enough for the scanner be detected for XSane, but only root can to use.
To fix this “little” problem, edit file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and add the following lines:
# Epson CX5600
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="083f", MODE="0664", GROUP="saned", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Turn off and turn on your scanner. To see if the problem was fixed, run command lsusb again. The output should be like this:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:083f Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus DX4450
Note the number of “Bus” and “Device”, with them run command
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<BUS>/<DEVICE>
Replace <BUS> and <DEVICE> by respective numbers:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/004
You will see something like
crw-rw-r--+ 1 root saned 189, 129 2011-07-01 14:01 /dev/bus/usb/003/004
Now you can to use your scanner with any user owned to group saned.
