Okay, before, you will flame me for not reading the thread please here me out.
I just upgraded my 6800, so now, I have GPS, and 6.1.
The GPS works great with Google maps and live search.
I guidance is very choppy. I read through the thread about using Astrolauncher. I have no problem making the shortcuts.
My problem is widths changing the output ports. I.e. redirecting com 4 to com 2.
GPS gate costs $40, I am getting errors when I install GPSproxy.
What step am I missing?
If somebody is going to attack me for asking this question, instead of telling me to read through the forum, please direct me to the specific thread and posting. A download Link would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, all for your help, I couldn't have gotten this far without, you all.

Iguidance didn't run very smooth for me either so I switched to tomtom 6 and never looked back, runs perfectly smooth and recalculates instantly.

I had the same problem when I first started using iGuidance. I purchased GPSGate, which is only $19.95 for the Pocket PC, not $40, and launch it using astrolauncher and a startup MortScript script. It has been working great ever since.
ICS on the Prime, for many, took a step back and now claims "ad hoc networks are not supported". So, many of us who have been tethering the last few weeks via a tethering app now cannot as ICS is seeing the network as ad hoc and is now reporting that is not supported. I personally used wireless tether under Honeycomb every single day on my Prime. Now, for me, and many, we cannot. I have a whole growing thread in the general area and it really seems this is the root of the issue for those of us that do not have built in wifi hot spots and use a tether app.
So, is this something a dev can sort out? How to get back ad hoc network support under ICS on the Prime? I have seen topics on it in google like this one, but this "fix" did not work.
(BTW - if a mod thinks this is not in the right place and wants to move it to the General thread, please just delete this as there is already a thread there, but a help request in the dev area seemed logical. If not, sorry.)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IT HAS BEEN SOLVED 2.3.12
Based on a post I read the other day, and that I was asked to test today, I decided to try 1 more time and it worked!! But not how I expected. I tried 3 tests... the final one worked!!
So, here is the process:
1. root is required AND make sure you have your file system app (like Root Explorer) set to make files R/W so you can edit/rename/set permissions
2. turn off wifi
3. go into system/bin and rename wpa_supplicant2 to wpa_supplicant2.bak - that's right folks.. it is NOT wpa_supplicant but wpa_supplicant2 that is running the show
3. download the wpa_supplicant file found here post #24 in my other thread
4. unzip it
5. rename it wpa_supplicant2 NOT wpa_supplicant
6. move it to system/bin and paste it
7. set permissions to xxx, x, xxx (columns) - see more details below if confused
8. go back and start up wifi
9. turn on wifi analyzer and you will see (*)AndroidTether with no red Ad Hoc notation!!
10. click to connect
11. surf and tether away!!
No rebooting needed, it is instant
I am using the good old original Wireless tether 2.0.7 app I always used! None of those beta releases and picking settings and blah blah
Yes, I was able to connect right back to my local wifi with no issues as well!
PLEASE hit the thanks button, I worked long and hard on trying to get this to work
#7 details if you don't understand permissions settings
When you set permissions (long press the file) a pop-up opens and it shows 3 columns with 3 checkboxes in each. Each "x" is to be checked
Read...Write...Execute
x..........x..........x
x......................x
x......................x
This is really a super simple fix for rooted devices. Just search the internet for "ad-hoc" and "wpa_supplicant" and you should be able to figure the rest out pretty easily. However, that said, wpa_supplicant form a previous version of Android (Honeycomb, Gingerbread, etc) might not work.

Yep, look in my post above. I did find one, I did try it, it did not work. The wpa_supplicant I used had no affect. I think this is why we need a dev to square it away and with details on how to install for other users.
i think it would be better for u to try and find a dev in irc vs posting a thread in development section when it is more a question or request.

While I understand that it's easier to just talk to a dev over IRC, I really hope a working solution can be released here soon.

LOL ahh the days or IRC. He means there is an IRC (which I believe stands for Internet Relay Chat?) group/page that you can go to and actually talk (like a chat room I suppose) at that above site. You might get more response from them there. I might pop on there later actually.
I think enabling ad hoc connection is part of the issue. Thing is, the 3rd. party app we used called Wireless Tether is really an Infrastructure tethering method. It worked fine on honeycomb. We know Honeycomb and ICS doesn't support Ad hoc connections. Once we updated to ICS, it changed the way the connection is viewed. Now ICS tells us its an ad hoc connection when its really not. If it were ad hoc, then honeycomb would've never allowed us to connect also.
Since the app is viewed as the wrong connection, ad hoc, its not allowing connection or even network seen in normal settings. Wifi Analyzer can see the network though and also says it ad hoc now. but when you try to connect it will say This connection isn't supported by Android yet.
I got BT PAN method of tethering to work buts its a much slower connection speed. it'll do in the meantime, if needed but the wifi tethering method worked the best n easiest. Seems like phones with built in hotspots feature seem to work along with HTC phones. my phone is Atrix4g and I'm not sure what kind the OP has. Methods that are working for others on their Samsung or HTC phones don't seem to work on ours.
Concisely explained... thanks
(For the record, I use a rooted OG Droid running a simple Pete's ROM - but the issue is pervasive across many many brands)

Actually, the Honeycomb used on the Transformer Prime is perfectly capable of connecting to ad-hoc networks.

interesting. I knew ICS didn't support it and had just read that it started with HC. I never tried my barnacle app, ad hoc, on honeycomb. I always used my wireless tether app.
I wonder why there were several people reporting on Google Android open source page that ad hoc connection wasn't being allowed period. Or why isn't Google/Android allowing this feature across the board.
I have a feeling we will get another update soon to smooth out the initial ICS bugs.
Hey demandarin I did try Barnacle many times... no dice
Anyway, here is some more useful info
I just tried 3 wpa_supplicant files I found for other phones/tablets. None worked. All allowed for wifi fine, none accepted ad hoc.
I have the swap steps down good enough now and know and understand the setup and permissions and such, I feel confident now in the processes to try any wpa_supplicant file. You find one, I have not tried it, I will... but I doubt it will work for 2 reasons
1. it is not specific to our tablet and ICS software
2. we have 2 wpa_supplicant files - that is right 2 - not just 1 so there may be some interdependency as NO thread/forum/blog/post has ever mentioned 2 wpa files
I am sure a dev would know this, but putting it out there that I have tried swapping wpa files to no avail
☞[READ ME 1st] ☆.☆.☆ If YOU DID NOT CREATE "it" THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT
A nice sticky at the top of the Dev section where this was first posted. Moved to Q&A
Well, is there anything new to this topic? I think not only a few people are depending on it.
Nothing new. I'm still working on it & emailing devs that fixed the issue in HC before Asus finally fixed it (see my other thread about that for a post I made yesterday)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21417076&postcount=281
Be rest assured... this issue affects more than just "a few people". I've seen it mentioned on other forums as well. I also suspect it will get worked out in time - but not fast enough for some if us.
Me too. I want my (UK) Asus Prime to connect to Joikuspot
I have ICS and want to use the ad hoc connection on my phone running Joikuspot.
Any news ?
Guys, wireless tether works just fine on the tp with ics if you use version 2.0.7 instead of the current version. I've been tethering my thunderbolt to my tp every day since I got it in Dec 22 with both ics and honeycomb.

I seriously wish people would research the true issue before just posting up that "it works"... there is a whole HUGE thread that explains why it does not AND IF IT DOES why it does work for you and not others.
Not only that... there are whole trial and error tests with ALL versions of Wireless tether - including all beta versions.

Wanna know why people leave XDA? Because when they post things that definitely DO work for them and others, people immediately jump down their throat and try to make them feel like idiots. I have no idea why 2.0.7 works for me and several friends that own both primes and tbolts but it does. Period.

My man.. your post added nothing. Telling us tether worked for you? I could have told you it would work for you! IF, IF, IF you just did a little research into the other thread... you would understand why it does. But you didn't, you just blindly posted up that it worked.. confusing the issue for people like you that do not research the issue and understand what is going on.
Hi!
Any idea how to put a button anywhere on the startscreen of my SGS2 Android 4.0.3 to start a network scan directly without the detour via the menue?
Best regards

I am sorry, there is a misunderstanding: i'd like to start the search for GSM/UMTS networks from the startscreen.
No problem. Sorry, don't know of any, will report back if I find anything of interest though.

Not sure if Tasker can do this; you'll need to get/install it & play around with it, but if it can you'll be able to create a shortcut to the task on a home screen you can hit. Bit of research required by you to check this out, but it's probably your best bet at this stage.
Many thanks for the hint! Tasker is an universal tool which i will use intensly!
I'll be busy for weeks now... Maybe i even find a way to start the search run.
Best regards
Gerald
Let us know how you get on/if it works
Hi!
It needs much more time to get familiar with the Tasker. There is so much to discover! The perfect toy!

Noob here as far as posts are concerned but have been flashing ROM's like a madman since my Samsung Fascinate VZW. I have flashed (clean, all wipes) Infamous 2 and can pair and connect Logitec Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard but cannot make the mouse pointer visable. Works fine on AOKP and Task. Tried the Yoda kernel for grins and no joy. Anyone have any luck getting the mouse cursor to appear on Infamous?
Confirmation
Has anyone else experienced this same issue with no bluetooth mouse pointer on Infamous 2? I would post this in Infamous thread but I do not yet have enough posts to do so.
Have you searched the Infamous 2 thread?
Sorry best I can help.
Just thought I'd ask so this post gets bumped and you get at least one more post.

I don't know if this is any help, but using Logitech PS3 Bluetooth Keyboard seem to make the mouse curser appear on 4.2 ICS. Sorry if I'm confused, but maybe it in the setting? I'm certain I've spy it once.
Thank you for the help guys. I have searched both the Infamous thread and XDA to no avail. Many references to similar issues. There is a HID setting that is on and I can get the mouse to "work" (an invisible pointer that when I move and click I can interact with the OS). The keyboard works fine and since I can get both the work (realtivley) flawlessly in other ROM's and in ICS AOKP this has to be related to something not working in Infamous. Might have to go back to GT TASK for my fix. Anyway, good looking out and appreciate it.

I have the same issue with Infamouse 2. Posted there a few minutes ago.
Hi,
I saw on Internet some services that give you the possibility to test an Android app on the web: for example, Manymo launches an emulator on a remote server and give you the possibility to interact with it. AppSurfer let you test your Android app in an emulator-like environment. Pieceable Viewer is similar to AppSurfer but for iOS.
According to you, how these services are implemented?
Maybe there are some emulators running on a remote server on which run a vnc server, but looking at AppSurfer or PieceableViewer they looks too responsive for this implementation.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There's a forum for the Motorola Defy, and looking around, I find many people asking the same question as you. Apparently, there's still no way to root it.
Keep looking/waiting.
