Hi,
I have an Android device with ext. GPS (meaning PL2303 via USB + USBGPS4Droid software running). Whenever I try to get GPS enabled software off market, I don't get shown any, because market (Google.Play sorry!) thinks my device does not have a GPS receiver.
How do I change the settings to make it believe I have GPS? Which file holds these settings? Device is rooted, naturally, I can access any dir/file via SSH.
Thanks!
Hey all,
I'm trying to figure out how the "portable hotspot" option in JB 4.1/CM10 works under the hood. Where are the scripts, config files, or binaries for this functionality? I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to have the system run a shell script whenever portable hotspot is enabled, but I haven't been able to find much browsing through the filesystem.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Hi everybody,
I have an HTC Flyer P512 16GB wifi only, on Android 2.3.4, HTC Sense 1.0, softwarenumber 2.27.1114.32.
Now I want to access internet via my iPhone 3G A1241 16GB, which I Redsn0w jailbroke, and installed PDANet via Cydia.
I'm able to internet from my laptop via the wifi hotspot that I can now create with PDANet.
But for a reason I dont know, I can't seem to find any created wifi hotspots with my Flyer..
How come my laptop can access a wifi hotspot that I created with PDANet on my iPhone, but my Flyer can't?
I used search, but it must be a combination of; too specific & my lack of knowledge in this business ..
I really hope someone can steer me in the right direction!
Thanks in advance
Ok, I did some more research on the matter, I believe I now know I would need to root, SU, before being able to place an wpa_supplicant. Back up original. Turn WiFi off. Use Root Explorer to paste it into system/bin folder. Change the permissions on the file to rwxr-xr-x. Turn wifi back on. And it should show adhoc networks.
How am I doing?
If this is the right order, I still need to find out what root I should use, can anybody tell me that?
It is important to me that all the original buttons function, and I prefer no loss of options..
Appreciate it.
P'z
I now know I mixxed up roms with root in my previous post.
In the meanwhile I have S-off''ed my tablet.
I intended to install CWM along with it, but it displayed that it couldn't be done, and I should do it manually.
I'm now on a search for the specific method of installing CWM manually..if someone feels like jumping to my rescue, would be highly appreciated.
Oke, found this:

..but again, i am stuck ..the file the how t refers to (cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img) is no longer available at that address..
Have been searching for it on Google, as well as torrent sites..no luck..
Is there anyone who still has this file?
Don't know anything about using an iPhone as a hotspot. But you shouldn't have to root and do all that extra stuff to access a WiFi hotspot.
If using security on the WiFi hotspot, try a different type (WPA, WPA2, WEP). WEP in particular does not play well with many HTC devices (and not very secure anyway).
Thanks for your reply!
That's what my understanding was at first, but I tried several wifi apps next to my standard wifi, and what I can conclude is:
Standard wifi scan (via menu):
-can't detect my created hotspot
-can detect and connect with home wifi
WiFi Analyzer:
-can detect my created hotspot (with an AdHoc label, and when I try to connect it displays "Adhoc is not supported by Android platform yet!")
-can detect and connect with home wifi
WiFi Manager:
-can detect my created hotspot (with an AdHoc label, and when I try to connect it displays "Standard Android does not support connecting to IBSS (AdHoc) type networks")
-can detect and connect with home wifi
I read I would need to replace the wpa_supplicant file, but that can only be done once rooted..
Maybe someone has the following reuested file in his/her possesion?:

Hi there, I am running my own VPN Server and just wanted to add OpenVPN to my Android phone. Is there any way to use OpenVPN automatically when connected to WIFI but not to use it on 3G/4G ?
So far I tried OpenVPN connect on android but didn't see any settings for this.
Thanks
No idea?
I started having the same issue after upgrading to Marshmallow. Has anyone found a a fix?
I am wanting to create a wifi hotspot with a Nexus 9 (wifi only) 5.0.1 - rooted.
My reasoning is to be able to create a mobile local wifi network - for other devices to connect to and communicate - no internet access is required.
Being the wifi only version there is no interface in the UI.
I have attempted to start hostapd via adb with no success - hostapd reports a driver initialization failure.
and no idea how the dhcp server will function.
Does any on know if this is possible .... without installing a custom rom.
Cheers,
Iain
