can someone test the wpa_supplicant provided (which is in system/bin) on galaxy player 5.0 (2.35) to see if any one work and can connect to adhoc View attachment wpa_supplicant.rarnetwork?
first, rename it to wpa_supplicant and test them one by one,thanks!
OK, I'll try it.
their is an app in the market called:
"WiFi Ad Hoc enabler" by AREND
I would try it, but I don't have a SGP rom, so if my wifi config was to get trashed, I'd be in trouble
when i find a rom for the SGP 4.0, I might try this, I've been wanting ADhoc for a while now.
The file wpa_supplicant3 works well on my YP G70 2.3.6. Now I can use ad hoc.

Well, you can use a terminal to run each file, and you will see the version number. If there is a "ah" word after the number, it's an ad hoc supported file. Otherwise, you don't need to try it. Besides, you should run your system's orginal file to know the right version for your current system.

How do I run them? I tried copying them to my SD then running with connect bot,
but it said "permission denied" so I tried "chmod +x" and it said bad mode
chmod 755,not +x, that's not original Linux.
I tried that too (see attachment)
What would happen if I was to copy wpa3 and it was the wrong version?
would my SGP still boot? I made a backup, so if it would not cause any serious harm I could just go ahead and try #3.
Of course it will boot. Wrong file only cause Wi-Fi connection failed or nothing. And I suggest copy the files into /system/bin and then run them.
---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------
By the way, you don't need to reboot after replacing the file. You just need to turn off the WiFi and turn on it. If it works, you will find your adhoc connection point in the list. So you needn't be afraid of not booting.
#3 worked for me too
SGP 4.0.
Thaks a Lot
Congratulations~
I'm wondering whether G70 support wifi tethering and bluetooth DUN. I have a s60 with 3g.

All credits go to Scrosler, Nils, MrSmith, and everyone else. I took the Linux version of this tool and modified it to work on Mac OSX. The Linux version did not work for me, so I decided to fix up a Mac version and upload. It also has a special WiFi Tether install script I whipped up.
INSTALL THE MAC OSX ANDROID SDK BEFORE USING THIS!
Here are some links to get you started with the SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/de.../#.TuaS3lxjgSM
So now that you have the SDK installed...
1) Unzip Cleantool_Mac.zip
2) Open a command window, change directory into your Cleantool_Mac directory
3) Run ./cleantool.sh
Have fun
Cool! Good Job!

cant seem to get the command screen to accept my commands. Pretty much a nube when it comes to command screens and code, but if anyone could help lead me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it. I already have sdk installed and the cleantool zip unzipped. Just not sure where to go from here, as everything i've tried on the command screen has come back permission denied, or no such directory.

1. In the Terminal app ( /Applications/Utilities )
type: cd (path to Cleantool_Mac folder - Easiest way to do this is to open a Finder window next to the Terminal window, navigate to the Clean folder in the Finder window and then drag the folder into the Terminal window. Make sure it has a space between the cd and the path.)
Example: cd /Users/username/Desktop/Clean_Mac
Hit Return or Enter
2. At the next prompt: Type: ./cleantool.sh
3. Select the Temp Root option then let it do it's thang and then select the Exit option.
Hope that helps.
Ok, so I have been using linux since long and I managed to write many scripts for my personal management, using crontabs for auto-execute etc. I also played with rc.local in linux. Fortunately It was all easy to find the relevant info whenever I want. But not with Android. I have been searching but no exact solution so far.
I want to know how to auto-execute script on start up? I have put script in /system/etc/init.d changed its permission to 755. Made chown to root, but Fail.
Also tried to use "Script Manager" but that force closes everytime. I switched to Cm7.2 Sedan yesterday and same case with this ROM too. (So I don't think Its a ROM related). This the same ROM Turbo-boost or other scripts works fine.. What is it that I'm missing here?

Since you're saying that other scripts get properly executed, than it must be your custom script itself, which poses some problems here? Btw, nobody is right in your head or is a visionary and able to give you some help, if you don't give some bits of code to tell, what might be basically wrong with it. ...
Just jump over to slaid's scripting threads. There are some hints and tips how to log and debug initd scripts. Or you can just strip from g_BonE's script the debugging code and apply it to your own script.
Happy scripting! ...

Hi,
I'm having problems with my S3. I'm trying to copy a ROM over to the internal storage via USB. It's connected and I can view all the files and directories. However, when I go to copy the ROM over, I get this error:
Cannot copy item
The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
I did have it rooted with CWM and custom ROMs, but I flashed the leaked official JB and have had this problem since. I've flashed back to stock ICS and still no luck...

I'm having the same copy issue. I've tried downloading multiple different ROMs and copying them over to the internal storage and it seems like it's a crap shoot whether they work or I get the "cannot copy" error. Of course the ROMs I want to flash are the ones that won't work. I'm on a newly flashed Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I had the same challenge with 4.1.2 at the beginning. I found out that somehow my kernel (Siyah RC1) was the issue, after installing RC3 and also now with 1.7 it works fine.

From time to time im experiencing the same problem.
Try
Right-click on the ROM > Click Properties > Click Unblock

Do you tick USB debugging in developer option, if YES, do you disable media storage from startup, if No, my answer is try other USB, OTG cable. Goodluck!

Hi,for Galaxy S4 just download USB MASS Storage Enabler and run it ,you will have no problems copying after that!
most of the copy problem like this mainly caused by the USB line or the USB port...

This did not work for me. For me the issue was that the download in chrome of the rom was "complete", but it was not. IT was only 120mb in stead of 200+, so the file was corrupt. This is why I could not copy it.
Redownloaded, worked.
Maybe Kies Service is running in the background? You can reinstall the Samsung USB Device Driver on your machine. You also can uninstall the device driver installed by the system when you plug in the device the first time. Maybe this helps.
Hi! What I did was I put whatever I wanted to copy into a folder (in my case it was a ROM i.e. a zip file) and then tried to copy and it worked.
TRY THIS
if not copy, try cutting (you can copy it back later)
Hi, after several days seeking for cifs.ko/slow-work.ko finally i found the attached file the which loads fine and i can mount my network file share and explore it, but when i try copy or open video file the file load/transfer starts but after few seconds my photon reboot.
The rom is stock, kernel is 2.6.32.9 [[email protected] #2], rooted.
Is possible make some fix to those modules or at least know with log/debut what is failing?
thanks.
Edit: Go here for a working cifs.ko: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895983
My best guess would be that you found a kernel module that "loads", but isn't compiled for your exact kernel. Once loaded it establishes the connection and you are able to browse files/folders. Once you start a transfer you utilize a different part of the module that doesn't jive 100%. That causes a memory leak/buffer overflow/kernel panic. Kernel panic = phone vomit -> phone warm reboot. Really need to have a module that was made for your specific kernel.
Could also be the app. Easiest way to tell if the app is the culprit is to mount the share manually in a terminal window. Then do a cp command from your mounted share to a local folder and see if it works that way.
Manually mounting a share in a terminal window will take a little *nix know-how, but shouldn't be that hard. I know how to do it, but I don't think I can teach you in a short timeframe if that makes sense.
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------
Did a 'strings' of the module and it looks like it is compiled for 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba *edit* that kernel is for the DX2. Looks close, but not for your exact kernel. Also the version of cifs.ko is 1.61 if that matters, compiled for arm7 platform.
I really don't think it will work right without compiling it against your current kernel source.

Is true... but i guess is not necessary test to mount something in command line because i tried two different apps and gave me same result.
If matters i check module with modprobe/hex editor and compare layout_info with any integrated module in my phone and it match.
Hello,
I have acquired an Acer tablet that we used for my grandparents called GrandPad by Consumer Cellular. There is a really stripped down software/OS on it that is more "elderly friendly". I know the user interface is built on top of Android (maybe 6.0-6.1). My question is how to I find a custom ROM and installation instructions on this so I can make this thing a decent functioning tablet? I'm having a hard time finding anything about this. Not sure if Acer took another variant of their tablet and made it exclusive to Consumer Cellular.
Here's all the info I have on it. Not sure how to access the Android info on top of the current software.

Hi there , I would try to look if theres any rom for it , can you upload screenshots of the ui? Also , please remove the IMEI part as it is not necessary and it is a potential security risk for you if someone uses it .

Hello ThatLatinGuy,
I have tried endlessly searching for a ROM. I just can't find much info at all on ACER Android tablets in general, and much less on this specific model they made for a cellular company.
As far as the stock UI, you can do a web search for GrandPad Consumer Cellular. Apparently I can't give the link because I don't have 10 post yet.
After posting this, I did hold down the (power and +- volume) button and got to the Android recovery screen to do a factory reset thinking it would reset back to Android 6.0.1. I did work....sort of. The "grandpad" UI is no longer there, but it does boot up to some application called "GrandPad Eagle". I assume this is some kind of software they ran on top of Android when developing the tablet's interface??? There is an option on that screen to do a hardware test. When I touch on that it opens some Android app called Alpaca. From there I can swipe down from the top screen and access the Android settings menu. There's no launcher and I've even tried to sideload .apk apps (with unknown sources turned on) but gives me an error about it can't read file. It let me turn on developer options in the settings.
I can try to upload some images, but every time I go to insert image it wants a link and not a location on this site. Tried Google photos link and that didn't work apparently. Anyway, any settings specifically might help just let me know and I'll try to get it on here somehow...maybe.
Well this sounds really familiar , I was in the same boat a few years ago with a 2012 kindle fire HD so I will try to apply the same principle here . I have also tried to look for information about this tablet and only got the specs , wich are actually pretty good , but anyway does the tablet have an internet browser? if so type fdroid an download the app install it and open it , search for a launcher so you can atleast use the tablet .
If not , how are you sideloading it? with adb ? or does this tablet support mtp?
You can try to upload the pictures to google photos and upload the link with some characters in between (something like : www----photoservice_x2323-com)
Havent found anything about the Granpad Eagle app, although Im pretty sure that your assumptionis correct , and the Alpaca app is equally obscure , so please try to upload the picture of those .
Cheers

The tablet has no browser. Very very limited apps in general. I tried to download the apk apps for chrome and nova launcher. I can push them from my computer to the tablet . But when I touch to install it, I get an error saying it can't read the APK file. Don't know why it would say that. I do have trust unknown sources checked.
I'll see what I can do about the pics.

Update...
I managed to install new apps via ADB. I was able to remove the grandpad eagle from ADB as well. I rebooted the tablet and the Nova Launcher (app I installed) settings came up.
Main problem now is that there is no navigation buttons on the bottom. There's no way I can go back or home. Not sure yet how to enable them. It's a bit annoying when you can't go back to the home screen or switch apps.

Gotcha , download this apk and push it , its like that floating button in the iphone it is not a perfect solution but it works .
https://home-button.uptodown.com/android
For a cleaner solution , try this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5qcD8t0o2M
its gesture based , but it looks better .
Thanks,
Even though the OEM stuff is off...the Android OS is still a little quirky. For example, there is no way to put it to sleep with the hardware buttons. And I have to hit the power and volume up button to power it off. Just random stuff like that.
Oh well, it's better than it was. Just wish I could do a fresh restore without the OEM stuff. Or better yet, a custom ROM. Which seems like is impossible since this tablet is so unique.

hI , did you resolve this problem ?
Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...
I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:
SyncManager: Sync Device...
RegisterManager: Registering...
EagleAPI: Starting Register...
RegisterManager: Register Success
EagleAPI: Starting Sync...
AutoWIFIManager: doGiraffeWIFISearch >> no matches
That's pretty much it. If I click Hardware Test, it goes to something called Alpaca, which runs through all hardware tests with no issues. From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings and all that. From there, I've enabled developer mode and USB debugging, as well as install from unknown sources.
As the OP originally stated, there is no web browser and I've had zero luck installing any APKs or anything; I can't even get Chrome on there via ADB.
Any thoughts or advice?
Just wanted to update this thread and see if anyone else has made any progress. I have the Acer A8202 model.
Grandpad apps removed. (until factory reset) use a usb keyboard and hit escape to get access to the system menu then enable developer and adb. Nav bar is under Display. I installed a browser, Aptoide and a launcher via adb. I am still working on the status bar(working in settings but not in all other apps) I believe there is a full screen mode system wide setting on in the build.prop file. temp solution is "Material Status bar" and "Mi control center" for a status bar. Google play services install but constantly crash. I was also able to unlock the bootloader. but to edit the system files will need root and a Twrp img file that doesn't give black screen.

I got the exact same model A8202. I am trying to "Apply update from ADB" and it says to "send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" Where do I find the package (OTA update ?)

Has anyone found a ROM or a solution to remove the Grandpad software and install a normal Android OS?

I am looking for it too. There's got to be somebody out there who can provide an OTA package to upload via ADB.

How did you "manage to push new apps via adb"? for me "adb devices" shows nothing...

Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for quite some time, so it's nice to finally register and become a part of the forums here! At any rate, here goes my first post...
I have this exact tablet and I thought maybe it would be a good starting point for me to try working with ADB and all that. The Acer A6201 I was given appears to have no OS on it, as when booting it I am met with a screen displaying the 'GrandPad Eagle' logo with the Identifier, Serial #, Telephony, and SIM # with barcodes. Also displayed are the buttons: Install, Shutdown, Pick WiFi, About, and Hardware Test. LTE is on (I put my Cricket SIM in it), as well as WiFi. It reads Eagle vc21618-b356. Upon connecting to LTE, it reads:
SyncManager: Sync Device...
RegisterManager: Registering...
EagleAPI: Starting Register...
RegisterManager: Register Success
EagleAPI: Starting Sync...

"From Alpaca I can also pull down the drop down menu which allows me into settings" I can see Alpaca but I can't get to the settings. Mine is A8202. Is that why it's missing?

Hrprada, there isn't a Stock package/rom that we can use. In order to side load apps you will need to make sure developer and adb are enabled. Google is your friend to get those. All i did was use a usb keyboard to show the menu. then swipe down.
