[MOD]Enable Wireless N - 2.17 Base Roms - HTC EVO 3D

This was a mod on evo, can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707218
Works for evo 3d as well.
Here is how to install:
Unzip the attachment and place bcm4329.ko on your sdcard
Now use a file manager ie., es file explorer and copy bcm4329.ko from your sdcard
Navigate to /system/lib/modules in your file manager then delete the existing bcm4329.ko and paste the new one.
For some reason i cant get this to flash right so i used this method, you can also push it through adb i am assuming, but i know this way works.
My router will not let me set N only but G stops at 54 mbps and mine was at 65 mbps so i'm sure it works. The other way to test is speedtest app do a test before and after modifying the files.
To mod the file yourself for other bases is simple:
Open bcm4329.ko in a hex editor and search for "nmode" without the quotes and replace the 2 instances of it with anything i used what the thread recommended "-----" without the quotes.
Can someone with N only please confirm it works
Here is a screenshot of it at 65 mbps:

cool things showing up resently
ps: nice

I for some reason thought that the 3VO already had wireless-N enabled by default? Mine is currently on latest base n connected at 65MB but yeh technically wireless-N can get higher speeds. But I'm not sure if my Linksys E3200 is fully N or not either... Anyone else know anything bout that router? Oh, I'm currently on MeanROM 2.9 with stock kernel.

Looking at hardware information on the EVO 3D it shows (wifi b/g/n) looks like we have wireless n compatibility already

I'm already connecting at 65Mbps without any mods.
Meanrom v2.8

I get 72Mbps on my phone Without any mods
MeanRom 2.5

I'm @ 72 Mbs without any mods

You guys would have to enable advanced performance for wifi. It's under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced. Check the box for advanced performance. That will get you higher speeds but it drains battery faster.

---

You guys posting your getting 65+Mbps run a speed test on your phone and tell me what your getting.
My phone is telling me I am getting 65Mpbs but when I run speed test I get 2Mbps

---

I tried this and now I get an error when trying to turn wifi on in settings. I even set permissions correctly... Any ideas? Thank you.

65Mbps is the throughput of the router to the device, not the actual bandwidth the modem / your ISP is giving.

This breaks wifi on Antrhax kernels

That makes sense. Flashed MeanROM with stock kernel and everything is back to normal. Now hitting 15mbps down on my phone.

---

So, essentially, this is totally pointless, right? Phones already support N OOB, and it breaks functionality in certain kernels?
Thanks for the effort, but no thanks.

Interesting did you try this so called "mod" that could be it, or it could just be the area of the house you are using the phone from. Like bigwillyg said you could go under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced to perhaps force a higher transfer rate at the cost of higher battery life. Don't worry though 2Mbps should be fine for almost anything and you could use WiMax if you have it, when you really need speed.

How weird, opening my connect network, my speed is 13Mbps, but on Speedtest I'm hitting 23 Mbps download solid.
Edit: now my speed it updated correctly. Speeds 52Mbps and I clocked out at 25.99Mbps when toggling the High Performance WiFi option.
