Hello all,
Question regarding VPN on the Galaxy 4.0. I'd like to know if anyone has PPTP VPN working with any of the custom ROM's. I have a Galaxy 4.0 right now, and I'm pretty happy with the stock ROM, with the exception of VPN, which I can't get to work. I've read some stuff on google android sites which sounds like the older (and maybe still newer) android versions don't handle VPN well at all. I'm not at all hesitant to root and change ROMs if it will get me VPN (I did it on my Nook Color and was very happy with the improvement), but other than VPN, the stock Galaxy is giving me everything I want, but VPN is important for me. I want to watch French TV on it, and for that I need a French IP, which I get through a French VPN server. Works on an iPad, but the VPN is Galaxy seems poor.
So, if someone has PPTP VPN working on a Galaxy 4.0, could you please let me know what your setup is and I'll go for that. Conversely, if someone knows that VPN just doesn't work on this platform, please let me know that, so I don't waste too much time.
Gracias.

VPN should work, you should download droid VPN and this (for tun module)

Hello zaclimon.
Thanks for the reply. When you say "VPN should work", do you mean that it should work with CM9 like you have, or that it should work with the stock ROM and I'm just doing something wrong?
Also, what is "droid VPN"? Is that an update? An app?
Thanks for the clarification.

It should work with any rooted rom (in theory, I don't have any VPN to verify that). Also DroidVPN is an app that requires you to be registered.

Hey all,
I've been browsing around the XDA forums for quite a while now, and normally always have been able to find a solution if not at least some relevant information to any of my issues regarding my S2.
I'm currently on Vodafone AU and have the Skype pack on my account, which allows me to use Skype via the Vodafone network rather than over data.
The problem that I am facing is that after Skype was updated to the latest version, I can no longer connect. The app (Skype on Vodafone, not the Market one) tells me 'Couldn't connect to Skype'.
The previous version of it worked just fine, however I never anticipated this problem so I did not make a backup of the old app.
From testing I have been able to get it working on the stock Vodafone ROM, but not on a Custom ROM. I am currently running Cognition S2 1.15.
I assume they coded the app in a way to verify the type of ROM that you are using so you can only connect if you are using the Vodafone ROM.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get a workaround on this issue? or for that matter does anyone out there have the previous version of the app?
I do use Skype quite often, but don't really want to use the Market Skype since that goes over metered data; and I really do not want to go back to the stock Vodafone ROM.
I've uploaded the current version of the Skype App, if someone needs it or it proves to be helpful.

If there's any extra info I can provide that I might've omitted please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any useful information in the matter.

Hey mate do you still have the problem? I have installed LeoMar ROM, but my Skype on Vodafone app works fine, also I used to have the Lite'ning ROM in wich it worked perefctly as well... I have the last app update in a Samsung GS2.
How did you install the Voda Skype app on Cognition Rom? Find that source APK and install that over.
Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

It can be because VPNs are blocked in some countries like Iran.

Hi all,
fairly new to posting in these forums bit been a regular visitor for a long time.
I've looking into ways of sharing an internet connection with others. A repeater would do the job but I also need to log into a website in order to get internet access, this is why th Android solution is the best option.
Using FQRouter2 is the only option on the Play Store that can fullfill this requirement however using the repeater function of the app seem to be limited to having compatible hardware.
google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
My aim is to get a list of compatible devices to help others that need to achieve the same objective.
So far none of the handset I have (mainly Samsung GT series) have got the repeater function working. If you have got this working could you post the model of your Android device and the firmware version it's running.
Thank you.
It doesn't work for:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
Kitkat 4.4.2
KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ8
Here it the link to go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
I have been trying to get this working on a rooted Sero 7 Pro and I have been unsuccessful. I think it would be safe to assume that it can be added to the not compatible list.
Can anyone assist with trying to find the most affordable tablet that can support this functionality?
2 phones repeter works on
two phones that works as wifi repeter are #1 lgms323 android ver 4.4.2 from metropcs and #2 is ZTE n9120 android ver 4.0.4 from metropcs.....
can you tell me where i can find out why the lg will not connect to fqrouter

Hi everyone. Does anyone know a ROM or a way to clear everything out of a rom?
I have an old galaxy s3, and I would love to use it only for my PLEX player as a remote controller...
Dont even need GPS or SIM support, only WiFi and the PLEX app :-/
Hope someone has something for me :-/
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Mario
I don't know the special requests of PLEX, but due to internet security I recommend Android 6 and there are 2 lite ROMs: Haxynox and Slim. Try and, after you decided, I can tell you how to strip further (if necessary).
