I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that FoxFi doesn't seem to work on a stock DNA. I installed the latest version of FoxFi as well as the add-on, but when activated I get a message saying that I need to have a tethering plan, and to call 611 to set it up.
Also, FoxFi isn't 100% free anymore, it has a usage limit before you need to close and restart it. The full app costs $6.97.
Hopefully once we get root we can get a root-based wireless tethering app to work.

I recommend that everyone use koush's wifiAP app available through rom mamager. ROOT IS NOT NEEDED and it is much more stable and universally friendly than any other I have found to date. I will give it a go when get the device and let you know the results. Headed home after work and it should be waiting for me!!!

Quick USB Tether works on Jelly Bean for the usb tether part on different hardware (and it's free!).
For wifi, you'll need root and sqllite for potentially an "entitlement" hack. All speculation since I don't have this phone, but the common denominator is Jelly Bean.
BTW OP, Foxfi says that their stuff doesn't work in Jelly Bean right in the description!
Yeah, but I know people were going to ask so I wanted to let everyone know.

It just worked. I'm guessing you're on a Verizon unlimited plan and that is why it is nagging you.
yall do realize that unless you are an unlimited plan you can just use verizons hotspot app
So you have tethering included? Why not just use the stock hot spot app then? This is for people that don't have a tethering plan.

I'd gone through the same thing, so usedto my tbolt needing a outside app.
I installed foxfi (and addon) and it worked ok, but I'm on a ShareEverything plan (it works for me and saved me $40/mo)
I called vZ and confirmed I'd not need this any longer and could use the stock app to any device, but data is accumulative
I suspect there maybe some vpn and other features some 3rd party tethering apps might allow that would be useful for some.
Let's clarify:
Unlimited data: won't work, possibly with entitlement database hack and root
Shared data: It should work stock (not foxfi).
Jelly Bean is a little different than ICS. Foxfi's description even says it won't work under Jelly Bean.
The Tether Hack and Tether hack with WiFi notification should work on stock rooted and stock de-odex I545VRUAMDK based ROMS.
If your rocking a custom ROM check with your ROM dev for changes to framework-res.apk BEFORE flashing this.
The other two mods, Remove E911 Icons, and disable Ongoing WiFi Noticiation NEED a de-odex ROM.
The orginal "Tether Hack doesnt always kill the WiFi Notification so I rebuilt the mods using a different method.
EDIT: One of the mods were removed because it caused GPS Issues.

Thanks to shoman94 for his help re-compiling framework-res. He has a good tut HERE!
Tether Hack - With WiFi Notification.zip

Did you do anything else besides adding the + to the layout lines?

After posting the exact same question in the Q&A thread, I found it was because I needed to clear the cache/dalvik cache (maybe one or the other, but I did both).
I was able to successfully boot after doing so.

Compression has to be set to "None" on Samsung framework-res.apk
Thanks for posting this, both of the mods work great.
Just a quick question. With regards to the Tether Hack, how does this compare to apps like pdanet which bypass the subscription check but still seem to use the stock Wifi Hotspot? I don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes with these other apps, if they do anything other than bypass the check. As an unlimited data user, is it "safer" to use pdanet or the other apps, or are you really just doing the same thing they provide without the need for another app?
Thanks again.
i already am using the widget to bypass the subscription check, just curious exactly what this tether hack does. also does it allow for USB tethering as well

I never used one of those apps so I cant honestly tell you what they do. However I can tell you what this one does...
It bypasses the Samsung tether check and just turns it on.
I have used this mod for quite some time and never had any one complain about being busted by Big Red... However AT&T and this mod will get you busted if you use it excessively.

It hacks the tether feature samsung put in the ROM to call upon another app to verify the subscription.
So instead of
1. Tether app start
2. Call App to check subscription
3. Return results to tether app
4. Tether... Or not Tether...
It goes...
1. Start tether app
4. Tether.
Steps 2 and 3 are removed from the framework of the ROM
Yes on USB and if I wasnt so damned lazy I could even do Bluetooth... But this is good enough for 99.99% of the people. Who the hell uses Bluetooth anyways... Damn kids and there fads :angel:

These apps are using something momentary (IE: The hack has to happen every time you push the *Big Friendly Button*) to bypass the check; I'm not sure what and I haven't had the opportunity/need to go digging into the how. I use Widgetsoid and it does the same thing.
This hack is permanent; it happens when you flash and doesn't require anything afterward. It allows you to use the included app on the phone without having to download any free apps that might have limits or ads and there's no paid version (FoxFi, for example). It means there are less "moving parts" involved, and theoretically, there are fewer things that could go wrong.
As for is one "safer" than the other...I'll assume you mean any less likely to get you in trouble...and the answer is no. They're achieving the same thing through different methods; one's just a bit "cleaner" than the others.
EDIT: Didn't see Scott's post...damn pages. Still relevant, I think.

Is it possible to implent the smart stay notification removal hack. Currently, I have to choose between the RWC95 hack (ongoing wifi and smart stay) and yours. I'm having issues running the two hacks together as it seems some stuff cancels one another out. Could you possibly help and talk with him (RWC95) about merging your two hacks together?

Which app are you using to tether?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for developing the Clean Rom!
I've used your clean rom on the S3 and the S4 and I must admit it's some good stuff you've developed. :laugh:
I've installed this tether hack but after reading this thread, I'm not clear on what app you are using to tether?
Is it the mobile hotspot app from the Big Red?
Or does Samsung have their own separate tethering app?
I know it's a newbie question, but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Where is the tether app icon? I can't find it anywhere...
Is this the TrevE tether?
What exactly does this do since we already have a hot spot with this phone?
Also, when flashing do the cache's need to be wiped?

TRUE, TRUE. If you install a recovery it will trip KNOX. your best bet is to go to Google play store and install the Paid version of hotspot tether it works, and the developer is could at keeping it up to date. Ya, your our out a couple of bucks but that's better than the $30 monthly fee from sprint.

Sorry, the one i linked works on nc5d 100% but in portrait mode only. I dont know anything about whats in fre3 2.16b rom. Sounds like you have custom recovery... backup and odin a stock tar then restore once youve grabbed your msl or maybe just call sprint to save yourself time.
Something I used to do back in the Hero and Evo 3d days was get my MSL and add it as a contact. Unfortunately, I didn't do that on the Note 3. Glad to see SPCUtility was upgraded to work on NC5. Now to make sure I always have my code. Do what you want with that tip. Thanks idone for all the neat stuff you are finding.
so yea lollipop is here, but due to some circumstances rootcloak is no more not even usable via cydia, so has anyone found a stand alone app like rootcloak? as the bright house tv app is now rendered useless. ;P
I would also love to know when a solution comes along. I love Lollipop but I was using Rootcloak to be able to use MAAs360 on KK, so no work email right now.
I need root due to being on the N5 that unfortunately needs root to mod the sound system to be usable in situation...because I guess Google was unwilling to address a very widely know issue with their flagship phone. Ugh!
i have tried several root hiders and tried through supersu to hide root all with no luck i have a few apps that i wish i could use that root makes it impossible use them (all the sky apps and lloyds banking app to name a couple) i would love it if somebody could help out with this matter

Man, I know how you feel. I have a game that could only be blocked with Cydia Substrate and RootCloak Plus... but I'm not sure Cydia will ever be updated for ART/Lollipop. So... we may be screwed for a very long time.
Your right he has long left development when most used x posed. And with Google's new security it will be almost impossible to hide root.
Any news on this? I m still stuck on KK, Root Cloak doesn't work properly on Android L, at some point the app will just gives FC. Any other alternative?
I'd really like to know this as well. Overly paranoid corporations these days seem to be implementing root check security thus stonewalling anyone with a rooted device. This puts just about everyone running rooted Lollipop at a huge disadvantage when trying run anything from banking apps to games.
We need to put up the bat signal or something and call all devs here on XDA to arms bc this really sucks!
Rootcloak on Xperia Z Lollipop stopped working too. Hopefully someone will come up with a fix soon.
Helllllp developers
Still no luck till today?
This is what I'm mostly missing on my OnePlus One. Can't use my mobile payment app (UGO Wallet) without something like root cloak Wonder if there's a quick and easy way to unroot when I want to use it, an re-root when I'm done using the app.
Fastest way I have this moment is to unroot via SuperSU, then re-root via TWRP.
Still nothing? I need this too.

MrElectrifyer, I might have a solution for you. I was in the same boat as you. I am now able to use UGO Wallet with root. Result could vary because of hardware and OS.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
OS: Android Lollipop 5.1.1
Custom ROM: [ROM][G920/5 ○ 5.1.1 ○ 29AUG] XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3
Install xposed Framework and RootCloak v1.3 (Do not use v1.4 it will crash the UGO Wallet app)
1. Open RootCloak, Add/Remove "com.ugo.mobilewallet"
2. Clear cache, clear data and force stop UGO Wallet
3.Restart phone
You should now be able to get pass the root detected when UGO Wallet app is launched.
I encountered one more in app error, which was device hardware incompatible because I was using a US ROM. I simply edited my build.prop file to a supported Model number "ro.product.model=SM-G925W8"
Best of luck
Apparently it supports lollipop 5.0+ now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-rootcloak-completely-hide-root-t2574647
It's been 2 years since I've rooted my last device. I'm a bit out of the loop with rooting. So what's your guys opinions on some good rooted apps?
Maybe there's some good apps for cosmetic changes? I've tried a few launchers, but they all feel very fake and tacky.
Of course I should learn how to use Titanium backup, I'd say that is a pretty common apps that rooted users use, eh?
Thanks ahead of time!

Yup. Not sure about YouTube (I think you need Xposed for that) but definitely Ads that appear all around some apps. In certain apps, the Ads totally disappear cleanly but in others they leave a black bar behind. That's depending on how the apps are designed.

Last time I checked out Cydia, it was for downloading paid apps for free. Correct me if I'm wrong.
However, Xposed is not for that. It's for making specific customizations to your ROM, as if it were cooked right into it. You need Xposed framework and specific modules for it to work.
Also, you're right about Samsung devices not being supported yet (work in progress).

i was searching around xda and found this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163 ... follow the steps and you can unlock the native tethering app that comes in the settings of android. i have the unlimited everything plan with sprint so i have unlimited, never metered data. and with this workaround, i dont even have to root my phone to get free tethering, which i sorely need. i use on average 75gb of data a month so there is no way im ever leaving this plan lol

Nice, I saw that thread but it won't work on ATT sadly. Works good on Sprint phones.

Aw man that sucks. I had to leave ATT because even though i was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan, they would start metering me after 3gbs and i just couldnt stand it.
Ya they are being sued by FCC, lets see what happens, they start throttling at 5gig these days, but would surprise me if they did it at 3gig, they are not transparent at all

How did you get adaway installed? I've tried with no success. F-droid packages specifically state x86 compatibility only.
Tasker.... search for tasker tutorials on youtube. Your mind will be blown

They mention is works on ARM/MIPS/x86.
They didn't put a coma in between them
I've been using ver3.0 all the while:

What problems do U encounter?
Same here. Using AdAway 3.0 (52) for several weeks now and it works fine.
Very useful! Thanks
