Hey guys does anyone know if there are any apps to create ad hoc wifi. Or hack tethering so works in airplane mode. I'm wanting to create a poor man's reversing camera using my sgs2, nexus7, ip webcam app plus Vlc to watch the stream. I just need my devices to work in ad hoc. Thanks in advance.
Update: managed to find a solution. I used the avast firewall to block 3g, then just use wifi tethering on the sgs2 to act as an access point.

Is it possible to create an application similar to Verizon Hot Spot, then Archos can connected and work fine?
Its not an app issue that you can solve on your phone, its a hardware issue. Verizon hotspot app works in "Infrastructure mode" (ie Routers, real accesspoints) because the phone wifi hardware allows it. Most phones and laptops with wifi don't have that, and will only work in Peer to peer mode known as Ad-Hoc mode. Unfortunately the wifi scanner on Android was coded to ignore Ad-Hoc signals.
If you can't use Wireless Tether for Root Users, try tethering over Bluetooth by changing its options.
I have tried Barnacle and Rooter for LG Ally(SUperOneClick) from this forum. But as I uderstood right Adroid Archos 70 would not see it becuase didn't have capability to see Ad-hoc.
So I was thinking here a lot a very talant programmers, so if Verizon creat Hot Spot, that works as wifi rooter, so someone be able create similar to it for rooted users.
Thanks
Not true. If you have the hotspot app it will work. Depending on the phone you have you can download ROMs that have this app built in/hacked in that will work to tether.

Wireless Tether has been updated to work in infrastructure mode. I tether my Archos with my Droid X. Made this thing so much better for me.

Wireless Tether for root doesn't provide "infrastructure mode" on the Fascinate. Also, Bluetooth tether does not work on the Fascinate. (keep getting "unknown state")...
Obviously the phone is capable of infrastructure, because of the "hot spot" app, which does work with the Archos....
Gotta get the Wireless Tether for Root guys to fix it for the Fascinate.....
Wireless Tether supported hardware...

I used an app Samba file sharing for android and this makes my phone a samba server. I was then easily able to access my SD card on my laptop on LAN (wifi).
I now have a mapped network drive for my SD Card and it is super easy to transfer data to my SDCard.
But(I tried this, but was unsuccessful), I want to use my phone as a portable wifi hotspot and then use my phone as a samba server so that I can easily share my SDCard contents with any other (android) device which connects to my phone's wifi network. Is it possible?
This is what I was thinking the other day when I was at a freinds house when I didn't have my cable with me and he does not have a WiFi router, I had to email him the file which was about 5mb which would of been alot faster for his laptop to connect and pull the file from my phone on its own.
Very interested if this can be done.......
I guess the app would have to deal out dhcp and dns
+1 - really want this, would be so much better than using Bluetooth to shift files from one droid to another without a router. Don't really see why Samba reports 'wifi is down' when there's an active client connected to the hotspot
What about using you phone as a portable wifi hotspot and switching on an ftp server?
Edit: just tried it with "ftp server" and hotspot switched on. Appeared to work but have no-one to test with :-(

Anyone ever get this working?
I've tried this using "LAN Manager" from play store. And using a beelink gt1 ultimate TV box as client. It working fine so far. But if I boot the box with CoreELEC, I'm able to connect but file read is extremely slow.
Hello, I've been working all day with ad hoc fixes for the thunderbolt after taking the time to manually root. I've tried wpa_supplicant.zip update and that didn't work on account of edify and i pushed wpa_supplicant to /system/bin and still no ad hoc connection.
The biggest reason is because I bought the AR Drone used and there are all kinds of apps for it to be controlled on the droid. I can't pair it through my router since its DD-WRT and the application to pair the two is windows and I only have a Macbook that has wifi.
Someone please help me fix the thunderbolt so it can find Ad hoc. Thank you!
What if your Thunderbolt was working in infrastructure mode, will the AR Drone work that way?

I have had no problems with running wifi tether on my stock rooted TB.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Generic
wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk
I did not try encryption, but it worked fine as an AP/infrastructure mode with two computers and the TB.
Sure I have no problem with that either. It's finding ad hoc devices like the Parrot AR Drone is the problem.

I see, so the device has no other means of connecting accept in ad hoc mode.
It's interesting to think that as users we tried to get away from ad hoc. It seemed to be such a limitation with our rooted phones. We all wanted AP/infrastructure mode to connected to wifi only devices that did NOT support ad hoc. Bummer, you would think there would be an easy way to toggle that within wifi tether.
Now of all things, it would not be a very popular option, ad hoc. So... it might not get the attention is deserves
Does anyone know any apps that creates a Wifi AP? I am not talking about an Adhoc network that all apps I have used create, I want it to work like native tethering.
I am asking because I am using polish blood preRC, and I really want to use it full time, the only thing is native tethers do not work and all apps create an Adhoc network.
Normally this isn't a problem, however I wish to use my PS3 over my phone's 3G connection, this is where the problem comes in, the PS3 does not see Adhoc networks so most, if not all tether apps will not work.
I have tried to use connectify while I have a usb tether connected however the PS3 cannot connect to the internet, I also would prefer to avoid using my laptop as an AP.
So anyone know a decent Wifi tether app that will create an AP like native tethering, not an Adhoc network
Are you sure that PS3 cannot connect to Ad hoc networks?
Here is an article about it http://www.ehow.com/how_6808376_can-connect-ad-hoc-network_.html
and it says PS3 can connect to Ad hoc networks.
Check if you configured everything properly.
Also Wireless tether app supports AP mode but only on certain handsets (HTC Evo 3D for example). It looks like it doesn't support our device.
Mine has never seen an adhoc network from my phone, guess I'll check it tonight when I can get on it.

Check wifi channels, anything between 1-11 channel will work.

Don't use this ICS. It's still in very early stage of developement. It's only for money.. If you really need a ICS on your Swift, then try AOKP 4.0.3. by DevSwift. Probably an update will come very soon. I was using it on my swift for 1-2 weeks, and I was happy with it. Now I changed the whole phone.

It's wrong to say its for money.....all he does is a dedicated ftp server for donators....and a bit delayed public release.

Back on topic, ps3 definitely will not see an adhoc network, just tried and when I scanned it didn't pick it up, when I entered my ssid manually it said it could not find it.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sorry for the mislead, PS3 doesn't work with ad hoc networks.
But here is a possible solution:
1)Download latest WiFi tether beta http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk
2)Open it and then go to Settings
3)Change Device-Profile to Google NexusOne
4)Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
5)Start tethering and that's it
Note: I haven't tested this on Mike's CM9 but it did work on CM7, so try it, and tell us if it works.
Just to warn you there is probability to get kernel panics with this settings.
EDIT: I have tested this on Mike's CM9 and can't get it to work. Simply wait till Mike fixes WiFi tethering, or flash CM7 or some other ROM.
You can try a couple of options...
1. Hosted Network Starter
Free: Simple hostpot on your pc with non configurable DHCP
www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_hotspot_starter.html
2. WiFi Tether Router
Paid: Android app for rooted phones with full featured DHCP, VPN, etc

I have my HTC Desire, on which i have a large data bundle which i can use. I created a wifi hotspot from this phone using Barnacle and Wifi Tethering from OpenGarden.
I create the hotspot (tried both apps), and i can see it from my pc, but i cant see it from my SGS3?
Any help?
Give this a bump to see if anybody can help.
Thanks
Final bump, hope somebody knows why the SGS3 cannot pick up wifi hotspots from other phones.
If the other phone makes Ad-Hoc access point the S3 can't access it and so far it's impossible to make S3 use Ad-Hoc.

wow scary
But isn't possible to modify the wpa_supplicant like it has been done for other versions of android ?
I read that the trick was to make the wpa_supplicant "think" the ad-hoc was infrastructure.
Every method so far kills the Wifi connection so you'll have to wait.
Thanks for the feedback. Did not know the SGS3 would not be able to connect to ad hoc wifi hotspots..
Any idea why they went this route?
Because Android by default does not support mesh networks (also called adhoc).
The reason it that wpa_supplicant's adhoc support is badly broken while adhoc networks consist of a complex peer-to-peer protocow withoue central infrastructure: insecurity, slowness and stabiliy issues are the consequences.
Only a few phones have adhoc support in a Rom with, afaik, all these roms being aftermarket
Are you sure your HTC phone is not capable of AP-mode wifi?

My HTC Desire is rooted, so i did some googling and found out that wifi tether can be used and will simulate an infrastructure hotspot.
Now my SGS3 can see the hotspot, but its not connecting properly. Keeps getting stuck on the message "Obtaining IP address" so i am not sure if thats a problem on the HTC or SGS3 side.
Will do some fiddling today.
