Just wondering of the procedure is the same as the captivate to view app that at&t normally blocks in the android market
Go to the online marketplace with your desktop and the app will be sent to your phone. Don't think that ATT can block it that way.
That doesn't work either. I tried it just to see by installing barnacle tethering. When you choose the device all of mine are grey and can't be chosen.
there is a thread in Atrix Development forum that will direct you on how to change the APN of your phone to get free tethering without an app.
here it is...

This is an Xposed module (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 for more on Xposed) that allows Time Warner's TWC TV app to work when USB debugging is enabled. It should also allow working with VPNs but this has not been tested.
Source code for the module is at https://github.com/Entropy512/XposedTWCTVPatcher
To install:
Install the Xposed Installer APK from the thread linked above
Install the Xposed framework using Xposed Installer
Install the APK linked in this post
Reboot your device after enabling the module in Xposed Installer
Enjoy TWC TV on a rooted device - no more need for a smali-hacked APK, just install it straight from the Play Store
Change Log
Changes:
9/11/2013:
Update to work with newer TWC updates. Sorry this took so long.
The app no longer seems to be checking for root in any way, so this just disables USB debug checks and also attempts to patch VPN detection. VPN detection patching is untested.

Looks like it's only for Verizon users. It's probably best if someone who can regularly use the APK makes a module to do this.
I'm eventually going to write a very generic high-level guide with tips on how to figure out what an APK is doing.
If you know of anyone who has "fixed" that APK using the old smali-hack method, I can analyze that with androdiff to try and reproduce the techniques used.
Awesome!!!!
DAMMIT IT WORKED ON MY ROOTED ASUS TRANSFORMER 300 TF!!!!! Thank you for this.
Any plans on implementing the HDMI fix?
Hi, thanks for sharing this hack. I wonder if something like this would be possible to allow the install and running of Hulu Plus from the Play Store on a rooted device.

Yup, although it wouldn't come from me as I'm a Plus subscriber.
If there's a hacked Plus APK somewhere, I suggest using Androidguard's androdiff.py to figure out what it's patching.
Then use the Androguard Simple Text plugin to view the relevant source for the APK.
This should tell you which methods need to be overridden to always return true/false.
It works on galaxy s ii from Sprint running cm10. Although the app doesn't actually work. It opens and video status to play but then gets error. If you need with it when it first stats playing it turns green when it stops playing. The only Rom I have gotten it to work on is Blue Kuban. Any ideas?

This thread is only to discuss the mod to defeat root/USB debug checks in the app. It's not really the appropriate place to discuss any underlying device incompatibilities the app may have.
All I can say is - the graphics subsystem in CM10 on all exynos4 devices isn't exactly in the best shape. There is a reason CM10 and 10.1 never received M or stable builds for any exynos4 handset or tablet.
TWC pushed an update today.
This update changed the name of one of the methods this module hooks, so the module needed an update.
In theory, Xposed modules should keep working through an update, but if someone used ProGuard obfuscation, method names change often and as a result the module needs updating.

It checks for VPN? I'll take a look at that at some point.
The problem is, it's difficult to try blocking checks without a way to test the block, due to ProGuard obfuscation of the APK - You need to do a lot of reading to figure out exactly what the hell it's trying to do.
Although if there's a smali-hacked APK somewhere that does this, I can try and use androdiff to figure out what was patched.
Next on my list is HDMI.

Take a look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411&page=9. They are trying to get hdmi and vpn to. Said they may know the smali code checking for vpn. Maybe you contact that dev and work together and get them both working. If I can help any way let me know. I don't hardy know any programming but I can poke around a little.

There's a good chance the network locks are done server-side... e.g. "don't allow it to work unless the connection comes from a Time Warner IP address".
How To: Verizon S4 running T-Mobile service with LTE, 4.2.2 with many 4.4 apps and features
This took a lot of time for me to figure out. There were a lot of questions I had to read and a lot of testing of trial and error on my part. Many of the actual ROMs, apps, etc came from other people, which I will name and give credit to. Everything is working for me. LTE, call signal, wifi, hotspot, NFC, IR, EVERYTHING!
I've done some reading on building custom ROMs, but if any of you have more knowledge on an easier way for me to package all of this together I'd be happy to post something for all of you to flash to save everyone's time.
I'll post all of the details, everything I did, and what was needed, but only if anyone would truly benefit from it.
Anyone interested?

This is what I have and have tested. I will mention if I believe other options will work, but it does not mean I have tested the other options. I do not take any responsibility for your phone or data. You read this for educational purposes only and anything you choose to do is at your own will.
With that being said, I never bricked my phone or even ran into any serious problems while figuring this out. The worst I had was testing out different deodexed roms that I had modified, which some would give a black screen on boot. When this occurred, I simply powered off or pulled the battery. I then powered back into recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik, then reinstalled a ROM that worked. You shouldn't run into any of these problems at all, since I've figured it out for you. Always back up what you currently have before testing anything.

What is needed (I’ll get into the HOW TO later, but make sure this list is covered first):
1) A rooted Verizon S4 SCH-I545 model (other S4 models might work, but I have not tested)
2) A custom recovery (I use ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2, there might be an updated version and others might work. I have not tested any other option)
3) ROM: [ROM] [G.E.] [4.2.2] [AROMA] [VZW] GoogleEdition.v6.0 09/11/13 by Dubbsy and hlxanthus

Now for the HOW TO:There are two different ways to approach this. Depending on your knowledge, one may be easier than the other. I’ll go into more detail later when I have more time and as questions come in.
1st option: Install the ROM but avoid selecting the apps listed above if possible. This will help so that you can install the 4.4 apps later on without having to delete the preinstalled ones from the ROM. After the ROM is installed, install the apps from section 4 and 5 listed above. You might run into some issues with installing apps in Section 4 which is unlikely, but that’s why I prefer my 2nd option.
2nd option (my preferred choice): Open the deodexed ROM and replace the specific apps inside with those you have downloaded in section 4 listed above. Rezip the ROM and flash it. Download and install the apps listed in section 5 after you have installed the ROM. (I suspect there might be questions on details from some of you, but I will edit and add these in later when I have more time.)
During the installation, make sure you select and install the apps not listed in the sections above (4 and 5) that you might need. I believe Samsung WatchON is needed for IR. There might be other better options out there that I’m not aware of.
I selected the KT-SGS4 kernel by ktoonsez during the installation of the ROM. This one works great, but you are free to try any of the others.
After you have finished with one of the options above. You will need to flash the modem of your choice. Remember not to use the modem with NON-HLOS.
After this, go to the Phone Info app which was included in the ROM. Select Phone Information, then change the setting to LTE/GSM auto (PRL). Close the app. You may need to turn airplane mode on and off, only once. I did not have to though.
You should now have your phone running 4.2.2 with many 4.4 KitKat apps and features. Please feel free to ask any questions, offer suggestions, and THANK those above who provided everything we needed. Please do not criticize anyone involved. This is only meant to help those who were looking for a solution, plus it’s my first tutorial.
I’ll add more details as I have more time. I’m working on modifying the ROM listed above with all of the files needed to make this an easier process for all of you to install, but I will have to ask permission from the original ROM builders before posting. I do not know when this will be completed. Give me some time.
Thanks.

oh yeah VZW is CDMA, but now all of their smartphones have GSM radios as well. They do this so that their phones can be used internationally, because there's only a handful of CDMA carriers in the world.

I realize there are multiple threads on this. But unless I'm blind - which I may be - I can't find a final solution.
I can not tether on my rooted DNA. WiFi Tether does not work. I have tried multiple versions. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the MSSClamping option is not available. Even still, it won't start.
I've tried 1-Click - that says it requires a subscription.
I've tried FoxFi. That sets up some VPN tunnel then doesn't start.
Any leads for a successful solution?
I have several rooted Roms posted with native tethering enabled, since most 3rd party apps no longer work on kit Kat.
So, the best solution, which works, is to run a Rom with native tethering enabled for all users or modify the Rom you're running to do the same.

Thank you. Unfortunately I'm in an area cursed with the Verizon Trolling of custom ROMs. Anything other than Stock Root results in SMS sending issues.
I'm not a programmer by any stretch, but have been modifying phones for a while based on all of you wizards' work. Is modifying the current ROM a "simple" task?
A little research has shown there is an "entitlement hack" for other phones. Does that hack exist for the DNA?

Thanks a bunch. You may find a thread of mine buried deep on here somewhere about this problem back in Feb/March. I had just gotten my DNA and ended up with the issue of not being able to send. It became a general consensus that VZW was testing some sort of blacklisting of custom ROMs in certain areas. I've not heard of a solution yet. I've tried multiple ROMs, all with the same outcome.
I look forward to your thread and whatever brainstorming comes from it.
Thanks!

Hi all, I was trying @engine95 wifi tether hotspot hack but it didn't work for me. Anyway I have an APK that I used on my old Optimus G. For the Optimus you had to change a bunch of settings, but for the G3 it worked immediately (I didn't touch the settings).
Notes:
1. I have a stumped bumped stock v4 sprint G3 (had to downgrade from v6, what a pain!)
2. I *did* follow the directions in the other post (adding ",dun" to two places in a hidden menu) before using my apk instead, so if for some reason this doesn't work for you, maybe go through the other thread's instructions first, then open the apk?
Let me know if this works for you! Hope it helps.
But if you follow the other threads instructions, you don't need any extra apk, it's handled natively.

Yeah, as I mentioned, his approach did not work for me. It may not work for others. Plus, to be honest, I kind of love the apk. Very smooth and it tells you how much data you've used. But to each his own, of course. Also, since his approach didn't work for me, I have no basis of comparison, so maybe is better... If It works.
