Hey man, thanks for the tip on the OS X tethering. I too was surprised to see it pop up on my Mac when I plugged it in. Thanks for publishing the settings, I was able to get it tethered under Linux on my work machine without issue, but I wanted to be able to tether it on my Mac as well, but I didn’t know what the settings were.

I really wish that Cyanogen had incorporated LauncherPro. I have used both, along with several others, and LauncherPro is the fastest, most stable launcher, and has the most customizations.

If you haven’t tried it, it is a MUST download!

I downloaded this app, however I do not see the icons when its in widget mode. They don’t appear until you click the widget and the bigger circle appears.

Comment on Compiling C Code for Android Using OS X by Nguyen Trong Nghia

I’ve solved the problem.
It’s because agcc could not find the lib at which specified by:
my $ALIB = “$DROID/out/target/product/generic/obj/lib”;

So I put Android NDK together with Android source with small change in agcc so that it can find the lib, include and SHARED_LIBRARIES correctly.

Regards,
