Hello,
Anyone got orbot working right?
MY phone is rooted but when i turn on orbot (tor) and select transparent it still does not anonymize me. What am i doing wrong?
Did you choose "Web" under Apps in Orbot after enabling the transparency setting?
thanks
Cappy,
I didn't have that selected. I selected it and now inet all together is not working. is there other settings like bridge? that need to be set?
Also will it work without 3g?
I haven't tried on 3G, just WiFi. I select Transparency and Web, and when I want to use my normal connection again, I disable Orbot and also need to uncheck the Transparency option, seemingly. Works for me.
still not working any ideas?
This will sound CRAZY - but...
Open Voice Dialer -
Say:"Proxy"
Open window for Proxy Settings and configure for Orbot.
I stumbled upon this while wildly searching for a solution - I totally thought it was a joke but had to try and sure enough - perfection! (you only get the HTTP proxy so not sure about solution for SOCKS)
Good luck - hope this helps!
Cheers!
Aron
anybody want to lend me a hand on this
Im getting this message:"No Tor Server allows exit to [scrubbed]:80. Rejecting
This occurs.after I turn on transparent proxying
I left the proxy and port blank on my 3G connection

It doesn't work either in a rooted HTC Desire with cyanogenmod.
I expect developing goes on!

Orbot
I just started using Orbot. Is there a way to force it to use US IP addresses only. I need this to access the amazon store and google play store in order to purchase us content?

Hi everybody!
I was wondering: is there any possibility to set a proxy (maybe using a 3rd party application) to surf to the Internet, when I'm connected to a WiFi network?
My university uses a proxy for all the outgoing connection, so I need to set it in any terminal I want to connect to the Internet with.
I'd prefer not to enable the "root mode" on my LG Optimus One, because it would invalidate the 2 years warranty.
Have a nice weekend!

I searched on net and it seems, that it is not possible. Most problem is, that some custom ROM is needed - in this case you will most probably lose warranty.
Maybe is some way in rooting of phone and editing of appropriate files. Because rooting is reversible operation, may bee there won't be any problem.

Thank you for the reply!
Is the rooting a reversible operation?
I mean: can I install a proxy for my phone (in root mode) and then deactivate the root mode?
Can LG notice I entered the root mode and deny my warranty?
It's my first Android phone (actually, it's my first smartphone ever!) and I'm a bit confused...

Well, it's not impossible for LG to notice that you rooted (and then unrooted) your phone. But even if LG doesn't notice what you have done, it doesn't matter: rooting the phone voids the warranty... you are then free to unroot the device but the warranty remains void.
Install Any Cut (search on the web or market).
Through Any Cut create a shortcut to home of the option Proxy Setting (I think is under Action menu').
Clicking on the shortcut you can change the proxy for the standadrd browser only.
(Browsers like SkyFire have the proxy option in them preferences setting).
In any case, I have never tested this method, but should work for the browser..I do not know if it works for the app too.
In the next weeks I'll check if the AnyCut solution works for me...
Thanks everybody!

Issue 1273: IP Proxy Settings for Wifi Network
It is not possible to set up proxy setting settings for WiFi network.
1. Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced
Settings for all Wi-Fi networks
i managed to set proxy server using "transparent proxy". this app needs superuser rights
any other ways of doing this without rooting the phone?
My P500 is rooted. But I still dont know how to access wifi via proxy.
I tried to use 3rd party program such as Proxysetting, Transproxy, Android GappProxy, Asproxy, Orbot,... The only working program on 500 is Asproxy (download on Applanet). However, it made me crazy that the status is Running just about 2-3 minutes, and then it comes to Waiting with reason: Couldn't check license. Anyone help me solve this problem??? (this program need root and superuser rights).
Many thanks!
i see it is an old post, but if u still need some app for proxy settings (with authentication)
i recommend using PRoxyDroid
I use it over my college network and it works fine
it is a free app
just google for 'proxydroid apk' incase u want to install it from apk
u need to root ur phone to use this
NOTE: ROOTING DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A CONFIRMED NEWS
Hi.
Sorry in advanced if there is a general android section this should be in, but only android general section I could see was about development and hacking...
Anyway,
Where I work, I need to set a proxy to be able to use the wifi there. This is fine, in the fact that I can use the proxy settings, and set it. But, then when I get home, the proxy will not work, so to use wifi at home, I have to disable the proxy settings...
So, going in and out of work becomes a cumbersome job... Would be great if there was something where I could define proxy settings per wifi connection.
Then, I found ProxyDroid. Appears to do what I want on paper. Installed it, tried it, and whenever I enter the proxy settings, in the browser, I just get "Cannot connect". So, I decided to set the proxy so there was none for my home wifi (but activated by ProxyDroid), and then it would be set as default to my work proxy. However, it still gave same error...
So, is there any other software or hack/development or anything that would allow me to do what I need?
Many thanks
David
You want to use this app, works a treat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083284
Connect wireless and set proxy then as soon you connect to that network again the proxy enables itself.
Aha, knew there must be an app around somewhere to do that, but after searching around I couldn't find it... Then, it's sat there under my nose.
Have attached my work proxy to my work wifi, and seems to work well. Will just need to see if it works correctly when I'm at home on home wifi
Thanks a lot matey, great help
Hi,
My apologies if this is the incorrect section. I know the Virgin Mobile SGS2 is NOT the I9100 model, however the correct phone was not listed on this site (nearest is the T-Mobile model, but the options differ on their phone).
I'm experiencing an issue with trying to enable the wireless hotspot option for my phone. In every instance I have tried, I have received errors that ad-hoc failed to start and related problems. Let me make it clear that this version of the samsung galaxy DOES NOT have the option to turn on wireless tethering in the native settings menu (it's simply not there). My carrier most likely hid the option because it is an extra $15 a month to use the feature. I can, however, attempt to start the hotspot service with a third party app, but it runs for no more than 3 seconds and I get error 67:" Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot..."
My phone is rooted and I have full access to edit system files (I did so to remove the ear-piercing camera shutter noise). I am using the stock rom and do not intend to flash a different rom to this phone. To lessen redundant suggestions that have been said hundreds of times and have failed to fix my issue, here is everything I have done:
Attempted to use FoxFi. All this app does is start the native hotspot capability on your phone, so I got the same error 67. No network connection. The network only appears for a split second when enabling the native hotspot setting, but since the phone turns it off, I can't connect to it.
Attempted to use Barnacle. I receive the error "Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint."
Attempted to use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users (for some reason this app is listed as "Not Compatible" for my phone in Google Play). Again, I receive an error that setting ad-hoc failed. All other services start successfully though, but the network does not appear for my PC to connect to.
Checked to make sure my 3G/4G is actually on and functioning.
Despite all this, I CAN utilize the USB tether feature just fine in PdaNet. It's the wireless hotspot that is eluding me. I know that flashing a different rom can get me around this issue, but I really would prefer to resolve this problem without doing that if it's possible. One thread I read said something about editing a .db file, but it was for an HTC phone and I'm a little wary to try it on my phone. I'm sorry for coming off rather cross, but I'm just a bit frustrated as every solution I find never works. It seems like this would be a simple thing to do. Is there a system file I can edit that will allow my phone to enable its native hotspot capabilities? Or something that will resolve the ad-hoc issue? Or am I blindly over-looking something obvious? If nothing will work except for flashing, then hey, at least I tried. It's not going to kill me if I can't get the wireless tethering to work, but it was one of the reasons I wanted to root my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I randomly figured out the problem myself. Downloaded something on a whim and it actually worked. Let me go through each step so anyone else who has this same problem can try this out.
The majority of what I did can be followed here:
*Can't post the link. Thank you, forum restrictions... It's from a website called "highonandroid.com" so google that with the appropriate keywords (wifi tether, android, etc.).
But in case the link goes dead or something like that, here is a step-by-step reiteration:
1. Download Trev-E's mod for the Wifi Tether for Root Users app. I have the exact version I used attached to this post.
2. Install it, and immediately go to settings and make the following adjustments:
- Change device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)."
- Change setup-method to "Netd-Ndc (master)."
- Tick the option "Send Netd Max Client Cmd."
- Tick "Wifi driver reload." The second one did not work for me, but try it if the first reload does nothing.
- Although the original tutorial says to tick "MSS clamping," this option is not available on my phone. But this did not stop the app from working.
3. Exit settings and hit the wifi icon. Fingers crossed it works for you!
After doing that, the app showed no errors in the log, the network name appeared on my computer, and I was able to connect effortlessly. Most importantly, the internet worked!
Also, enabling/disabling the tether DID NOT break my phone's wifi or 3G service. Everything ran fine when I stopped using the app and I didn't need to restart my phone. Putting this out there because I know some phones will trip out when enabling this feature. Good luck! And big thanks to xda's Trev-E for the app.
Thank you! That was driving me nuts trying to tether my GS2 to my tablet. I dont have the clamping option either but its working perfectly when nothing else has.
Nice instructions. I rooted my phone today (root virgin), downloaded the trev-e you have linked and got it to work. (Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII 4G)
I then tried to use encryption and the phone was just not having it, the internet connection wouldn't work anymore (laptop was connected but said there was no internet access). Frooze up the phone, had to reboot, frooze again, reboot, turn the feature off, freeze, reboot, pull battery etc etc. Finally have it working again with encryption off.
Pretty happy to have tethering working, but wish I could encrypt it haha.
Do I have the wrong TrevE using the stock ROM? (using the TrevE linked in this thread).
Now to learn what else to do in the wonderful world of being rooted...
*** EDIT- Looks like installing busybox fixed the issue!!
Thanks!
Awesome work, follow the instructions if you have virgin mobile it will work perfectly

I use WiFi Tether Router from the play store. Your phone does need to be rooted to use it. This will also bypass the tethering limit on the account.
First your phone needs to be rooted, and then you need to have ES File Explorer installed on your phone. You can use ES File Explorer to edit the file in the system folder.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Pull up the Menu for it (hold down the multitask button for that)
3. Tap on Tools
4. Turn on Root Explorer
5. Tap on Root Explorer on the left side and go to Mount R/W
6. Make sure all of the settings are set to RW, tap OK
7. At the top of ES File Explorer tap / that should take you to the root of the phone,
Now go to System, CSC, and open customer.xml
When you click on the file it opens it up in read only, you have to hit the menu in the top right corner to edit the file.
Be very careful and only change the things below. I would make a back up of the file and place it somewhere you know you can find it. What you are going to change is in bold.
<ProfileName>T-Mobile US LTE</
ProfileName>
<Auth>none</Auth>

<ProfileName>T-Mobile MMS LTE<
View attachment 2691815
Save the changes and reboot
Once you are restarted navigate to where the APN's are. System Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. Once you are there click on the top right corner and tap Reset to Default. That should update the APN, you can now go in and verify that under T-Mobile US LTE the APN protocol is now set to ipv4. If the change didn’t pull over you should be able to edit it and change it to ipv4;
These are the Wifi Tether Router Settings from the developer below. Make sure that your WiFi is turned on before you start the app.
For Samsung Galaxy S5 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKE

Okay after rebooting I get 2 APNs that shown up from resetting to default APN. One is T-mobile US LTE fast.t-mobile.com The other one is T-mobile MMS LTE fast.t-mobile.com. The first one is selected. Does this mean I cannot send MMS without selecting that APN? Is this because I changed the IPV6 to IPV4? Sorry I'm not very good at root stuff. I had tether for my note 2 and was wondering if it was possible for the s5. Not a necessity for me just useful. Anyways just curious if I screwed something up or not.
Edit
So I tried the app Wifi tether router, using those settings and my pc only stays on a limited connection with no IPv4 connectivity. Anyone have an idea of what I did wrong?

or you can try flashing this rom.

i did and it works perfectly.
The stock "Mobile HotSpot" app works just fine.
SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I followed the directions to the T!
And guess what, I don' see crap! my SSID is not being broadcasted. WHY?
I followed EXACTLY to the letter of the instructions.

ok.. So now I DON'T follow the instructions, I set auto for both
Interface and Method and guess what.. I now see the SSID.. Think it works? think again! "The connection is limited" on my tablet.
on my PC, not connected.
Same old crap a different "Trick and tip"
nothing against anyone personally. If I had a dollar for every guide I've followed and it failed, I'd make a ton of money. I should start a site on youtube for people to see me follow people guides, and I don't mess up. I'm VERY good at following directions, but there is ALWAYS something missing.
forexample.. Dude says "only change whats in bold"
WHAT!! nothing is in bold chief !!
thank you!
I followed your notes to the T & yes.......it works!
I just thought the Wifi tether router app was free; but, its so cheap....
then once I close the app my normal wifi connection is disabled. Entering the PW again doesn't matter. I literally must reboot the phone to get things back to normal.
Anything you know about fixing that tiny issue? Otherwise, I'm so thrilled because NOTHING else worked.
thank you!!!
:good:
---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------
to add..
I think that happens because T-mobile network is holding it up.........preventing the normal wifi connection to not take place unless I reboot. my thoughts.

Works.. but not like this
When I first got my S5 from T Mobile I rooted and installed Alliance ROM. Wifi Thether Router worked out of the box.
I F'd up my phone somehow and had to have it replaced under warranty. This time I decided to stick with the stock ROM, but I couldn't get WIFI Thethering to work. It would connect, and pretend like it was working but always timeout. I had this problem on my S3 and had to change the useragent to get anywhere, which sucked always being served mobile pages.
I decided to try this before changing my useragent again. It did not work. It connected to the network but it didn't even pretend to load any pages. I tried different browsers. Tried different OSes. Then I restored the customer.xml file to the original and somehow everything works again. On Ubuntu 14 anyway. No such luck on Win 8.1. But that's ok, FoxFi's USB Tether works awesome out of the box, with or without root.
Got my free internet back. $150/mo phone bill for unlimited data, at least I'm not paying for internet too.
Does anyone have orbot working on sprint g3? I am rooted stock zv6. If you have it working can you share the settings you are using. I go through the wizard and just cant get it to work. Thanks.
Or bot really isnt good you should use something like:
Hidemyass.com (free proxy like or bot) or a glype proxy
Is there something else i can use to browse the tor network .onion sites?
I really don't think so
