Anybody come across a way to free up mobile hotspot. Apparently AT&T got smart, tethering manager isn't there anymore like ginger bread had. I've been freezing suspicious looking items here and there, but no luck yet

haha ive been doing the same. still trying to figure it out. im sure someone will figure something out eventually
In the skyrocket thread they were able to open ultracfg.apk we have that file, but I can't open it. I copied it out of system/app and tried to launch it, but it's just the installer. I'm going to NAND backup, then I'll erase the one in app and see if I can't reinstall and get it to show in the app drawer

Removing that file was nothing but a pain. TiBu didn't want to reinstall it, erasing out of apps I couldn't reinstall from the copy I had. We might just need a person with access to a skyrocket with ics to pull it done supposedly theirs shows up in app drawer

damn. this was the one thing i didnt think of before putting ics on. hopefully someone can fix it
I'm Sure DAGr8 is going to put this in a future release of the modded version he posted last night.
TetheringManager.apk was still in my /system/app. I removed it and checked Titanium again. Tethering Provisioning was missing. When I tried to turn on Hot-Spot, Settings crashed. Restoring TetheringManager.apk, I am greeted with a message box to call AT&T to enable.

It says on skyrocket ics forums that the file to tweak is ultracfg.apk i can't open it. I'm sure someone will pull from an i727 and make a workaround for us

Ive been messing around with it myself, with no luck. I hope to get this working, AT&T doesn't need any more of my money.
I tried the ultracfg posted in the multi-dpi thread. The access point showed up on on my Xoom but I could not change the settings. Without the key I could not connect.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you have rooted your phone, you can do it with Titanium Backup. Just be extremely careful what you delete. I believe there is a list of safe things to delete floating around on the Cyanogen mod forum. Shouldn't be hard to find with inspector Google.
Bloatware would be anything that is not a stock android apk. Be careful not to delete anything that has to do with google or you will be sorry. I forgot the url but there is a master list of all the apks you can delete. Just google "android apk stock list"
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Its probably best to just move the apks into a separate folder on your sd card rather than deleting them. The that way if you mess up you can just move it back into the correct directory. Or if you change your mind.

to the OP, I gave instructions in the sticky if you want something to reference. I agree with ^, I used Root Explorer to copy all of the files and then pasted them in a folder on my SD card. Then went back to system apps and deleted them, rebooted, good to go. I also gave a list of everything that could be deleted.

Hey guys Im sorry if this is not supposed to be here, But I really need some advice.
I just recently bought a SGS2 in Canada with Bell Mobility and I was able to root my phone so that I could unlocked it. However Since I did this every time I turn on my phone I get a Yellow Triangle with and exclamation mark. and also this mark is on the top left corner of my home screen but very tiny. Now the phone works like a charm nothing is wrong, but I want to know if there is some way I can remove that from my power up screen and from the home screen?
And my last questions would be, Now that I have unlocked my phone can I unroot it? or will this locked my phone again?
Thanks .

+1 Op this is probably the best way to do it. Plus if you ever need to put the apks back, all you got to do is move them back, wipe dex and cache and reboot.
One thing that I usually do is use TBPro to freeze it first and see if there are any adverse effects. Did you know that gTalk works with the market? If you delete gTalk, you may see some wierdness with the market. If you just froze it, then you can thaw it out and move on.
My question is can we delete the odex files singly or do they have to be deleted in pairs with the apk?

This may not be your problem, but make sure when you download from the market you are not connected through wifi. Some wifi networks block the download port. However other wifi networks are just fine. When im at home it works great but when im connected to the wifi at work it just sticks on downloading.

i am having same issue. i was only able to download one app at home
there after nothing can somebody please help
The same thing happens to me but only sometimes. It only happens when I try to download a ton of stuff at one time.
I post this every now and then, seems to help most.
open titanium backup, find Market
Click it, wipe data, two times if you like
still in TB, menu > more > Market Dr.
Go to the Market, accept policy
Menu > My apps
Profit?
Clearing cache/data will probably solve it, but if it doesn't use a similar vending.apk (its the market) and push it into system/app.
yeah, but I cant imagine everyone on the rom is having an issue with the Market. Data/Cache should do it. Maybe broken Market links (Mkt Dr.).
I have a problem where it doesnt start to download and i would have to go in and try to redownload it. Sucks but who know happened on a few roms i tried

Very sure I am rooted ( Ti Backup works just fine and I can use su in terminal). I have even uninstalled adfree and reinstalled with no luck. Hell, I even tried replacing the hosts file manually with a list that's kicking around on the forums. Still nothing. Just for ****s and giggles, I am re-downloading it right now. Its been a few weeks, maybe it'll work
No dice. Symlink is unchecked. Cleaning the cache now and will try again.
edit: still no luck. To be honest, its only my weathereye app that I'd really like to see the ads disappear from. I'd like to tear apart the apk and find the source of the problem, but I have never attempted something like that !
Guys I badly need help with this!
For those that got this to work what did you use? (Which Root method, and anything special done inside the app? I do have Symlink unchecked)
Specifically any Bell Users, how did you guys get this working? HELP!...

I'm completely rooted, and have done this exactly like I have on my Milestone and SGS.
Is there a way to get this going manually, since this app doesn't appear to work on the (Bell) Atrix?... Thanks!
Didn't you already post this in another thread ??
It's weird, when I installed GreyBlur when I first got my phone, the adblocking built in to it worked and I never saw any ads anywhere (It does the same thing as adFree I believe, so it's comparable...) but then a little later I reverted to a backup for some reason, so no adblocking naturally. And when I installed GB3.5 (now I'm on 4.5) I haven't been able to block ads at all since, either with just GB or with AdFree.
Until yesterday ADFREE was blocking all ads. After the upgrade stopped. The ads are appearing as if nothing block then.
This occurs in both wifi and 3G (Tim - Brazil)
Any solution ?
Tks !!
Edit:
I managed to make it work:
- Uninstall, reboot and install again
- Clear data from applications that have ads
- Restart if necessary
work that way here.

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

I hope it's ok to make a topic about this... Been looking around without finding any duplicate posts. I should note that i had an older rezound that i rooted just fine on gb and it tethered fine.
This new one had ics before i rooted it, and i get issues with any tethering app i use; even barnacle, which was the one i used last time. Ill post the error message i get in a subsequent post, but i think it had to do with difficulties making an ad-hoc connection or something.
Anybody face this issue?
