well.. with the wifi dongle on the outside i did get better reception.. but not amazing reception... i'd like to solder a wifi pig tail to the dongle for an external antenna.. but i really really suck at soldering.. as for the lockscreen im using dxtop as a home screen thingy.. i found it in the blackdroid repo..http://repo.blackdroid.netim using the newest ecotox rom and downloaded the newer aptoid client from that repo... then added repo.blackdroid.net as a repo.. after it updates there are tons of packages including dxtop.*edit*forgot to mention the hub... the wiring confused me.. the colors were in different orders on the hub and wifi dongle.. so i wasnt really sure what to do.. i think im just going to order one of those connector breakout boards.. whereever i saw those at..
