Hi good folks of XDA. i have a request as i know you guys are the business when it comes to all things android. i have an old Samsung galaxy s5 that as a phone is no longer working, there is a fault on the sim card slot somewhere, what i was wondering is, is there anyone on here that can do me a totally stripped back OS for the sole purpose of running my drone flying software??, does not need to have any other access other than GPS and WiFi, and have access to play store, so i dont need it looking for a carrier signal, or anything, essentially making it a stand alone wireless fpv monitor.?
Can this be done?

I got my HTC G2 (T-Mobile UK) today and so far I'm loving it.
I upgraded it to the latest official ROM for t-mobile which is 2.73.
So, I'm just wondering how I'd go about rooting it? I know there are guides which I'm happy to follow, but it seems to me that T-Mobile put something in their builds which is why we have to wait for new releases for so long.
So what do T-Mobile do to the ROMs? Is it possible for me to put a custom ROM on here? If so, do I lose anything? Do I lose any accessibility to T-Mobile stuff like Internet, MMS ect?
Also, something that's REALLY bugging me is the BT Discovery mode. You can only make it discoverable for 2 minutes. Yeah I've read that once paired with a device then all should be good, but that doesn't seem to be the case with my BT Handsfree CD Player in my car. Previous phones (Including the HTC HD2) allow me to just get into the car and drive away and the devices connect theirselves automatically. However, this is not the case for the G2 and I can only assume that this is due to the discovery mode being off.
So there are my newbie questions. I really don't want to brick my phone so I have to ask before I do anything.
Thanks for your time.
hey,everybody.
I am going to buy a sony tablet s1 in China, but here I have a few questions.
1. sb told me that tablet s has a very bad wifi signal, even worse than HTC HD2. is that ture?
2.Google news says that in the lastest upgrade to angdroid 4.0, the sd card could be used as the external storege like other tablet.Really?
3.I am now in China, many people say that the Tablet S Chinese Version reduce a lot of functions.I wonder if I can flash the US rom to recovery them?
thx~~!!
I can only reply to Q1 here.
I've just got the S1 and I don't know why so many people are moaning about the Wifi.
The thing that it does is when put onto standy it swtiches off wifi and when you awaken it again you get a couple of seconds delay before reconnecting. Sometimes you get it taking longer, but that is very rarely.
Wifi signal is also nice and strong in my house, much better than my Nexus S wifi signal.
Cheers.
what Warren_Orange said is absolutely right. No issue to wifi. Tablet S can connect back the wifi very easily and fast after the screen black out.
answer to your no 2 q, we can access to sd card music/video using the default players after ICS upgrade.
Agreed with other users on Q1: I've rarely had any problems with my WiFi so I'm not sure what other users are complaining about.
Q2: That's the case. The original 3.2-based ROM did not include this fully as the external SD card was mounted at /mnt/sdcard2 and could only be accessed by third-party apps. With the ICS upgrade, it is now accessible via the stock apps.
Q3: I can't be certain, but this should be possible. Condi's all-in-one tool includes a region change function, which would then allow you to install that new region's ROM updates. Unless the hardware is different, it shouldn't be a problem.
Hi guys if your reading this maybe you can help me. I have an appradio3 that I to be able to cast my screen onto. Now brief background, I used to be on Verizon limited data with a rooted note2 that I direct connected via HDMI. I now have mistakingly switched to att and now i have a new note7 that doesn't have anyway to connect directly to the deck since Samsung has taken it out. Now I've since read about using a Chromecast and casting that way. That's all well and good if and only if you have a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone which I don't and i dont want to pay for the very limited hotspot plan for my phone to do that. Now I'm not opposed to rooting my note7 which I've looked into that but I've got an sm-n930a. And using the Sprint method doesn't work well for my model. Seen a video were a guy did get his tmoblie phone to root but the process was very lengthy. Or I'm not opposed to rooting if possible the Chromecast. I've got both the newer and the older version of that. I've looking briefly through the Chromecast threads and didn't see if once rooted that you could Wi-Fi direct to the CC. Like once your setting it up it Wi-Fi directs to your phone then switches to normal Wi-Fi. Is this possible??? Or if there's any other device that could get this to work with an appradio3 I'll totally try that.

I'm guessing after the note 7 recall this issue has "solved" its self... I am curious what you did wind up doing. I have the same App radio 3. I used to mirror my S5 to the thing with a samsung hdmi adapter and had full bluetooth touch controlls. Ever since android started setting selinuix to enforced it has become an issue to emulate touch control from the app radio to the phone. Screen mirriroing alone didnt really make me all that happy since I couldnt make it do much without touching the phone. Do you by chance have any advise on this?
What phone did you go to after the Note 7?
Well unfortunately I've gone to an iPhone 7 plus. Which I'm a droid person at heart and it's been a hard switch. Mainly cause I like the ability to mod the droid over iPhone. That said though the iPhone can still hook up to the AppRadio once you've got the appropriate adapters. So right now I can mirror the phone and can watch YouTube videos on the deck. If watching a YouTube it'll allow the phone to go dark or browse for your next video. Still looking into loading videos on the iPhone than watching them on deck but haven't put to much effort into as of yet. The real bummer is that there isn't no support to mod the iPhone to use full touch screen like if you had a droid with the hdmi. I've actually posted on several iPhone forums with just the question and after 2 months have not gotten a response. I still have my note2 and could hook that stuff back up but I have no internet on it so I couldn't watch YouTube from it. And I know this is droid forum but if anybody can help with modding the AppRadio app for iPhone like they did for the droid I'd throw some funds your way, but I can't throw to much since winter time is slow work months for me.
I want to be able to plug my new Galaxy Tab S3 (T-820) into my desktop computer or laptop via the USB C cable and not just move files back and forth, (which works fine), but ALSO have access to my desktop's internet connection through USB. I don't want to use WiFi.
I have an Ethernet to USB C dongle, which works fine, but it doesn't allow me to share files or charge my tablet. I'd like to be able to do all three at the same time.
In many of the "How To" articles out there where "Reverse Tethering" is described, they helpfully list the various buttons and widgets to click in order to enable this feature. However the authors always refer to menu items and buttons which don't appear under my tablet's settings. They're not just greyed out. They're simply absent. So that doesn't work.
Neither do any of the various apps on the Google Play Store and elsewhere which promise to provide reverse tethering. They just don't work.
SO...
Being new to the Android (and the smartphone) universe, I did a ton of homework and have so far figured out how to...
Root my tablet. (Done!)
Wade through the swamp of TWRP, ODIN, etc., while tripping spectacularly over the various speed bumps and permission walls provided by the likes of Samsung and Google's paranoid anti-theft (and it would seem from my use case, their anti-happiness) feature set.
Successfully install different flavors of Android.
Install both Magisk and Xposed and try their tethering unlockers with negative results.
After a week of little sleep, I've managed to get through all of this torturous nonsense and amaze myself by not having bricked or totally spoiled my tablet. It still functions! After all the warranty-voiding BS I've crammed through it, I'm feeling quite lucky.
However... I still don't have the ability to tether/reverse tether!
I've learned a lot, but I still feel mostly like a dazed and confused script kiddie (remember when 'script kiddie' was a term? Well for me, it still applies nicely.) I'm trying my level best, but various elements of this whole exercise remain opaque. This is my first post in any forum asking for advice because I finally hit the outer bounds of my DIY energies and pride.
So, if you will indulge my humble request, what I want to know is...
1. Is my tablet even capable on a hardware level of performing a reverse tether, or has the manufacturer locked that feature out so that even a ROM which promises to turn it on will fail to do so?
AND...
2. If it IS possible for a ROM to turn on the tether/reverse tether feature, which one is it and where can I find it?
2a. If there is another solution.., what is it?
I'm currently on...
Android Version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Kernel Version 3.18.71-13482624
Build Number R16NW.T820XXU1BRE2
I bought this unit off Amazon; it was a refurb and I didn't get it through some cellular provider nor do I have a phone plan. I don't know where this tablet originally came from, but it was all new, sealed and shiny in the box when I got it.
Thanks!
I can appreciate losing a week of sleep. But I don't understand why you need to reverse tether. Enable WiFi and there you go. I think the last time I needed to tether a device through my laptop's internet connection would have been the 1990s.
FWIW the USB-C connector on the TAB S3 is different because if you want to drive an HDMI monitor you need a DisplayLink chip enabled dongle and DisplayLink Presenter app running on the Tab S3. Whereas on my TAB S4 I can just plug any regular old USB-C -> HDMI dongle and display on the monitor. So odds are trying to get reverse tethering working on the Tab S3 is going to be an exercise in futility.
Hi there, you still looking for reverse tethering for android? i found & use this for a while... you can check github link here : https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet

What...? It worked?! Thank-you!
It's hard to believe how much effort and research I'd put into this, how many promising fixes I tried and which failed. In truth I'd given up weeks ago and found myself scornfully looking at the expensive tablet by my desk, wondering if I should hang on to it for its limited uses or sell it on eBay.
Thanks for posting! I can now do what I wanted with this machine.
For others, just follow the directions on the github link provided in the previous post.
I just scrolling around to find fixes for wifi issue - it connect & reconnect every times when on my office connection. Since me unable to use wifi, i try to find the work around using LAN connection. Then i found that.
Happy i can help others. Cheers mate.
Hello everyone!
I recently bought a live demo unit of the galaxy s9+ fairly cheap but I have come to find out that the lack of the sim reader chip isn't the only difference of this device with the final phone. The LDU also doesn't get updates which I find a little bit disturbing so I came here to ask you knowledgeable folks if you could help me sort that out.
Can I install the stock rom and have my device working normally and getting updates? I know this won't magically make the sim reader work and I don't care about that, but on the other hand I don't want anything to break (camera or whatnot (I've seen complaints of things breaking when people install custom roms and that's a reason why I want to stay away from one atm)).
