Wolfbreak's rom and hotspots issues - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie here who has recently installed wolfbreak's rom on my Xperia X10a which is now showing up as an X10i? Not sure why?
My soul reason for installing this rom was for getting hotspot capabilities so that I can share my 6gb data plan
to my WiFi only Motorola Xoom tablet (Xoom wont do ad-hoc connectivity). Everytime I attempt to use the Hotspot option, I get an Error within the Wireless & network settings section of the rom, particularly int eh Tethering and & Portable hotspot section. When I click Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, just below that menu option Error is displayed. Is the hotspot capabilities working within wolfbreak's rom or not? Is it something that I need to further configure?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think tethering is an option on the X10 yet. From my recollection, it is due to the bootloader being locked up. Your best option would be to get barnacle wifi tether from the marketplace. I was successfully able to tether my computer and an iPhone 4 using that method. However, for some reason, other android devices weren't able to connect for some reason. Not sure if there is a fix for it though. Test it out and let me know if you are able to tether your xoom.

Looked it up, there is a possible work around for android devices to connect to each other using barnacle.

Good luck!

thanks for your reply but still no luck

Wolfbreak, could you clarify for us if your rom supports hotspot? It is within the settings but as you go to select it an error occurs.

Barnacle wifi tether worked for me till I got my internet set up at ny house

Requires the hacked kernel... i think.

If I'm not mistaken, Barnacle is still doing adhoc connectivity which is not "hotspot". Android 2.2 is supposed to give u hotspot. The Motorola Xoom tablet does not support adhoc hence the reason why I need the hotspots option working on my X10. I want to share my 3G dataplan from my X10 to the Xoom. Otherwise, I'm returning my Xoom.

Hacked Kernel? Which one?

I thought the bootloader has been unlocked / hacked as well?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

The bootloader has only been bypassed. The new kernels are essentially loaded without the bootloader. In terms of having the capability to load custom kernels the end result is the same though.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

are there any custom Xperia X10 roms out there that fully support hotspot capabilities?

That is correct. Though the only custom kernal that support wifi hotspot etc is the FreeKernel by zdzihu. Though they only work on stock 2.1. :/
Take a look at all the kernals here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027111

being a newbie to the scene... it's all greek to me. Is there a custom kernel for baseband 55 for wolfbreak's rom? Apology if what I asked does not make sense. Im confused about the whole rom / kernel / baseband developments.

The custom kernals are only for baseband .49 and .52. Though it says on wolfbreaks thread that you can flash the baseband patch and then flash the kernal. try it out

Wifi tethering Works fine for me though

Had to revert back to stock Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 rom today as I got the "Process System is not responding". Wasn't sure how to fix it without flashing back to original stock rom.

I can / was able to WiFi Tether as well but that is considered to be an ad-hoc connection which the Motorola Xoom does not support. Hence the reason I really want hotspot working on the Xperia X10.
I really don't want to ditch this phone but I'm coming close to letting it go for a Nexus S.

Well it's official, im getting rid of my Xperia x10. Posted it on kijiji. Ill most likely still follow the developments on the x10 as my sister still owns one and I can tinker with hers as you guys make further progress with the custom roms and kernels. Best of luck.

internet sharing

Hallo, I just bought a x10. This is my first android phone. I wonder if this phone supports internet sharing or if there is any application on android OS that would allow to share internet with thru the phone.
thank you
Easy tether and pdanet do this over usb. Search the android marketplace on your phone for these apps or search for "tethering" for wifi sharing.
thank you very much
ive tried these and cant get these apps to work for some reason can someone lend me a hand?
What does not work. We would be happy to help you, please provide a little more information as to what doesn't work. Got an error message?
If you prefer is there a wifi option.
You can do tether with your X10 using Barnacle.
Set rmnet0 as WAN password and athwlan0 as LAN one.
Bye

I installed Barnacle in my x10,and I can not connect x8 to my x10. Is there something missing.according to the explanation, it depends on the os like win7,xp,iphone,ipad,etc. Does it mean no chance for android? Or may be need another app to be installed in client device?
Thanks.

android natively does not have the ability to connect to ad-hoc networks. thats why ur x8 cannot connect to the x10..
it is possible only after editing the wifi.sh in the x8.. i dont rem exactly what to edit but a quick search on the forum should get u the answer..

Hi Chetan,
Sorry but i actually wanted to connect to adhoc WIFI network too, I searched the forum with keywords like wifi.sh and adhoc wifi but couldn't get any results, can you point me to any such information modding some wifi file to connect to adhoc. pl pardon my search skills but i tried my best to get to such post
Thanks,
Nikhil
I can confirm that the only app that works for tethering is Barnale Wifi Legacy (you can find it in your Market).
I tried both legacy and norm, with 'wlan0' interface and channel 11(saw somewhere else it is preferred)
Is it possible to make it work in 2.1, like in 1.6?
Or is it possible to compile the netfilter module for 2.1?

wifi hotspot - froyo roms

Hi
Been digging around for a bit on here and google.
Do any of the Froyo roms for Hero have the new wifi hotspot feature. Thats what I would use most. Have installed one but does not appear to be in there.
I'm not sure if any of the ROMs have it built in (I'm still on 2.1), but you can use an app like android-wifi-tether or aNetShare to get it done.
Have been using Wifi Tether, but on VillainRom 12 the encryption does not work. Have installed that on the Froyo rom now and encryption works, so must be an issue with the 2.1 Rom I had on phone.
Bump!
Any new roms that support wifi hotspot?
Most the Rom's I have used have been rooted, and I have effectively used Wireless tether for Root (Android Market)

[Q] X10 Mini as WiFi Hotspot

Hi,
Can anyone give me some idea how can I turn my X10 mini into a wifi hotspot? I found many people are asking similar question but I did not notice any good answer. So this is possible or not?
Use Barnacle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740698
search for it in the market
you could found that information in the wiki or with some searching in this post in the x10 mini/pro General Forum
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether as Cyberwuulf already said.
It supports WEP encryption on my x10 mini pro, and works perfectly every time, super fast - And ive sent in a few good ideas to the dev which he promised to implement in the future.
It works with my X10 Mini with PC connection, but fails to get connected by Xperia X8, and I'm still working out with other phones tomorrow... Please note that my X10 Mini is running 2.1, rooted.

And I got it works with my X8 too, before I read the following Ad-hoc mode only:
Can you make Barnacle use infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
If one could make an Android phone look like a real access point (rather than an ad-hoc network), then it would improve compatibility and allow better security. Unfortunately, to make a wifi client behave like an access point requires fundamental changes in the device driver. The hardware vendors of the wireless interfaces present in most Android devices did not include such capability.
What one can do, however, is use Connectify to make their laptop running Windows 7 appear as a real access point. In combination with Barnacle it should be possible to connect many restricted devices (PS3, DSi, etc.) to the Internet.

This seems to be a problem with the both CM7 and MIUI at the moment. Barnacle works, but only provides ad hoc networking. That's fine if you want to tether a PC or laptop, but won't work for tethering an android tablet. At the moment, there is no off the shelf solution for tether tablets, though there is a method that involves rooting and altering the tablet so that it can work on ad hoc networks.
I've been able to tether using 3rd party wireless tether on both miui and cm7 with no problems
Im on latest MIUI and im using wireless tether 2.0.5-pre13 and it works flawlessly for me.
hi
haven't used the teather but does anyone know if the hotspot charges you or is it "free"
Same problem on Motorola Defy - MIUI
I have the same problem on Moto Defy with MIUI.
The "Wireless Tether for Root Users" was perfectly able to tether in infrastucture mode on Moto Defy with Eclair and Froyo.
In MIUI the same software id doesn't! It's just able to tether in ad-hoc mode.
Quite a big limitation.
Is there a solution to the AP tethering issue with MIUI. Did anyone get it to work?
