Been trying to get droid wall.
but when I run it it says iptables is not installed.
This seems to be a known problem as not all android installs have iptables.
One of the recommendations is to install android wifi tether that should come with iptables.
The problem is it force closes.
Anyone knows how to get droid wall working?
I'm interested in the same issue.
Anyway, from what i understand, some people installed wifi tether and is not working because the X10 kernel is not compiled with support for iptables.
We have to wait for a custom kernel.
and in between my private data is spamed into the internet ...
hate it
I think its because of the kernel。。。
you need a custom kernel to get droidwall or practically any firewall application to work.
check on the development section and you can try custom kernel's.
however custom kernel's are not yet fully trouble free and you should expect mild errors in it.
and the reason is droidwall needs iptables support at kernel level and as SE doesn't have that enabled and so it can't be used on stock kernel.

Edit:
Sigh. I should have seen it sooner... I was letting Kernel Manager download and flash the kernel. When booting into recovery and installing with cm, the kernels do not break the wifi
Hello,
It seems that all roms that I try, I have to use a static ip to connect to wifi... It hangs on "obtaining ip address from xxx" and then fails. Except for this rom.
Basic Debloat
One of the first ROMs released. Very basic with most of the bloat removed except the HTC stuff.

The Perfect Storm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006016
After installing I've tried a new kernel on all of them... Too many to remember. The "error" message goes away after reflashing the kernel but the phone will still not pull an ip from any network.
I've upgraded the fw in my router and extended the ip range. I have also tried 2 other open networks.
The Basic Debloat was the first rom I installed after rooting with this method... [ROOT] PermRoot + Unlock Bootloader - Safer/Easier 4/21/2011
I have gone back to Basic Debloat and the wifi works perfectly again.
What did I miss? Why does my phone wifi hate all roms other than the Basic Debloat?
Ok, I just flashed to The Perfect Storm v1.4 and wifi works perfectly with this. When I try a different kernel (to oc) downloaded from Kernel Manager it stops working... So, it appears to be the kernel but how can I run this rom with an overclocked uv kernel?
Update: It was Kernel Manager that was breaking the wifi. All kernels work fine on wifi when flashed through cmr.

So I am rooted, stock rom, using imoseyon kernal and I noticed the WiFi and tether are not working.... When I go to toggle wifi on it just says Error in the settings and closes. Anyone got any idea what gives? I have searched the forms and have yet to see something relating to my issue... Granted I am at work so I have not searched past the first couple of filtered pages.
Did you download the kernel from Kernel Manager? I know some kernels were having wifi issues when downloaded through there.(I don't know if your specific one was or not) If so, I'd try downloading it from the thread here and re-flashing first.
K I will try that when I get home and post the results.
Sweet thanks man that fixed it!
My university has a secure Wifi network which can only be accessed by an certain app (Xpress Connect). I guess the app downloads and installs the needed certificates. However I cannot connect to the wifi via that app, nor on any other way.
I tried it under 2.3.6 KK5 and 2.3.6 KLA and a ICS ROM.
The interesting thing is, it perfectly works with CM9.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is it because it does not work on gingerbread? (I don't believe that). Is it because I used an unofficial custom ROM?
Or is it because Samsung and TouchWiz screw it up? I mean it works under aosp (CM9).
So what do you guys think? I do not desperately look for a work-around, since I am fine with CM9, but I want to hear you ideas about where the problem is.
can anybody tell me what i can do to make my phone be able to tether again??
All i did was flash CM9, nothing else, =/
I'm using both PDAnet and Easy Tether without any issues.... follow the instructions that come with those apps... ...
so i cannot use the inbuilt tethering??
cm9 is still in testing last time I looked. maybe its just a small bug
Been using my Vibrant ever since it came out and never deviated from the stock. The reason being that i intend my phone to be stable and want to use some of the t-mobile stuff which I fear may not be possible in other ROM. I've been reading the development section and I really have no idea which rom can fulfill my needs... since I couldn't find a list of stuff that doesn't work on those ROM.
Basically I'd like to retain the ability to use T-Mobile's wifi calling feature, plus the My Account app, (and 911, etc). Of course, the phone needs to be stable enough as I don't have a backup/landline phone. Optionally I'd like the new ROM to have a better reception in both cellular and wifi signal, as I feel they are somewhat lacking from all these years I've been using the phone.
If you think I should flash a custom ROM that's as bug-free as the rooted stock Froyo, I'd appreciate some suggestions
There is not a clear knowing of which rom will have issue with 911 dialing. As far as I know almost all if not all of the ICS and JB roms may have the issue. This user states he only managed to get 911 working on CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952311
With CyanogenMod roms, you will lose T-Mobile WiFi (unless there is a way to install it to CM7 I'm not sure). The alternative is using Talkatone or GrooveIP which utilize Google Voice to make free calls. My Account and other T-Mobile apps are available in the Play Store.
If you do want to install CM7:
Download the 3e Installer and update.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Follow the instruction on the 3e installer, then put update.zip into the "/sdcard" folder, also download a CM7 rom into there. Reboot into recovery by holding both Volume buttons and Power button, release them when the Samsung logo appears. In the recovery, choose and select "reinstall package" twice until the green ClockworkMod menu appears. Flash the cm7 zip file. Before you flash, you should create a Nandroid backup.

If you want to stick with stock, you can at least root the device. Follow the instruction above to get into ClockworkMod, but flash only the root package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479 (this only work with Android 2.1)
While you're at it, also flash the KB5 modem, which is the latest for the Vibrant, which can potentially improve signal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036161
Before you flash any custom roms, I suggest you root the phone and try out the app LBE Security Master (link in my sig). It can do things like freeze apps (similar to titanium backup) and prevent apps from auto launching. It does help make the phone lighter and have other useful features like quick toggles. It's a powerhouse tool. The recent version have some issues with freezing app on my XPeria Play Gingerbread though, so try an older version if you have issues.
As long as your USB port is still functional, you can always use ODIN to flash the device back to stock.
If you want Wifi calling you are going to have to stick with 2.2 / 2.2.1 / or it has been known to work with some 2.3 ROMs
If you want to remain with stock but have a little added features try this:

The last Froyo ROMs I was a part of was Bi-Winning Redux (2.2.1) and Axura - Resurrected (2.2). Both of those roms are able to use Wifi calling. All are also able to use T-mo and Samsung apps.
Bi-Winning Redux
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769424
Axura
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787267
Those ROMs above (or any 2.2 / 2.2.1 in vibrant forum) should have working 911, and GPS with little issues.
Thanks for the information. I'm currently using the stock 2.2 (UVKB5). Did that e3 recovery thing and clockwork recovery sorta works... (only used it once to flash the latest (bugged) su binary). Bi-winning and axura both are cool looking mods. both says able do make wifi calls... is it not the same thing as Tmobile's wifi? I'm aware there are ways to route gvoice via wireless lan, but I'm trying to maintain two numbers

Yes the Wifi calling on those two ROMs is the T-mo wifi calling. The Wifi calling apps should be attached in the treads as well.
