To use wifi at school I have to wpa corporate + TTLS etc, and g-tablet does not support that. In one of the earlier post one person suggested that I use "wifi advanced configuration editor", but the secured signal does not show up so there is nothing for me to edit. I tried to manually add the wifi connection via "setting" but I can't.
I know what wpa_supplicant.conf looks like on my Pandigital Novel; if I could edit this file on my g-tablet then I should be okay, right? Any suggestions on how to do this editing? (sheepishly looking at my back) I still can't get ADB working with my g-tab, and in any case I assume there would be issue with permission...
Thanks!
if you can get root you can use root explorer to turn R/W access on to the conf file in /data/misc/wifi and edit the conf in text editor. You may be asking for more but that is where I was editing mine to get ad-hoc mode on. Sorry I dont know the exact settings to tell you to make the actual edits.

Add it using the normal Android tool, assuming it's hidden? Anyway, then modify it with the WiFi Advanced Config Editor. It's always possible the firmware here isn't working well with that app, but if it's a hidden AP you might need to manually add, then edit.

By "normal android tool" I assume you mean "setting" -- that's what I used on the pandigital novel anything. But as I said in the OP, g-tablet does not allow me to manually add an entry, so I can't use the wifi config editor :-( I also tried the app "full wifi" but I (rather, g-tablet) does not seem to be able to save the connection so created.
I'll look into root explorer as mentioned in post #2 and see how it goes... If you have better/different ideas please do share it with us!
Witopia OpenVPN SSL for CM7
Rooted Android versions 2.2.1-2.3.4
By: Z3n
(tested on HD2 CM7 and Nexus S CM7)
(Probably works for any build you can install the needed packages on too)
I asked the tech guys at witopia about using its service with android, and they didnt have a way, so i found out for myself,
This probably works for all OpenVPN SSL connections too, not just Witopia.
enjoy
-Windows only till i can insert links -
-Mac guide for finding your files and certs can be found at Witopia's wiki page-
-=#REQUIRES ROOT#=-
Required Packages – Busybox, OpenVPN installer, OpenVPN Settings
Both can be found in the android marketplace.
Install Busybox (if you haven't already)
Run installer first, and install openVPN binaries to all listed places.
ON PC
Install Witopia client on your PC, Then navigate to:
C:/programfiles/personalvpn/config
Copy the configuration files and certificates to a new folder called “openvpn” on your desktop.
For each location you plan on using, you need to modify the .ovpn file relevant for it, and also rename the file to a .conf extension.
First, in the .ovpn file, change these:
“nobind” to “bind”
(allows VPN to stay connected while screen is off, I tested this on CM7 for HD2 and also on Nexus S, so it may not need to be changed depending on the build you use. If this setting is left, when the screen is off, the VPN will not be “binded” to your cellular network, breaking your VPN connection everytime you turn off the screen.)
Remove “show-net-up” at the bottom
(this breaks the VPN connection as the phone cannot process this {its for the windows/Mac GUI for VPN})
Save each .ovpn to .conf (save as… ; file type = all types ; save with .conf extension)
ON PHONE
Copy the whole openVPN folder from your desktop onto your SDcard, so the path looks like /sdcard/openvpn (openvpn all lowercase.)
Run OpenVPN settings and turn on OpenVPN. It will load your certificate, key, and .conf files for use.
If nothing shows up, make sure your folder path matches /sdcard/openvpn.
one thing is, if you set the "bind" string, your battery will drain a bit faster, since its constantly connected, even with the screen off.
To save battery life, leave this as "nobind" and you will have to go to OpenVPN settings, disconnect, and reconnect to your desired location.
Enjoy your encrypted connection
Thank you mate, this is just what I needed.
Now WiTopia SSL is working perfectly on my SGS2 running nightly CM7 10201011 nightly-89 rooted with CF-root.
btw, I left my setting on "nobind" in the config file and it stays connected after waking the screen. All else is as you suggested.
Cheers
Hi.
I would like to share files with my Galaxy S II which supports Direct WiFi.
However, I know that at the moment there's no such option in TF101.
Will there ever be such an option?
Or is there another way to use my WiFi bandwidth to share large files between two Android devices?
I have the Nexus S and i downloaded a Bluetooth file sharing app to do most of my transferring.
What are you trying to do specifically?

I looked up direct wifi in wikipedia. It looks like only one device needs to be direct wifi because you gs2 will create its own access point. Your tf should connect via ad-hoc protocol.
For example, I don't have direct wifi on my gs1 but the tethering program creates its own soft access point and my tf conmects using ad hoc and I can get internet.
Once you connect the tf to your gs2 I imagine you would need a file manager on both that would support some sort of cifs link, smb, or other method so you could see the directory contents of the phone and tf. EStrongs file explorere may be a good start.

I'll try that app.
I only seems logical that if I can tether with SGS2, then they should be able to share files.
Hi guys,
I have LG Quantum which I converted into C900K (Australia ROM) using instructions from one of the teds here. Now, for various reasons, I want to go back to original C900B (Bell) ROM but I would like to first backup provisioning xml file from current ROM and add it into phone once I convert back to C900B (Bell).
How I can do this?
Thanks
OK, first of all, what do you mean "backup provisioning xml file"? The phone has dozens if not hundreds of provxml files on it, plus whatever ones you've personally added.
If you want to back up the system provxml files, they are generally in the \Windows folder. You can use the Mango Webserver app to download them, though it can't put them back (can't write to \Windows). Note that most of these files are processed invisibly and the user never calls them.
If you mean "create a provxml file that backs up my files" then you're out of luck; the provxml processor available to apps on LG phones doesn't permit operations on files.
If you mean "backup my provxml files from the DiagProvXML app's isolated storage" then you can use a tool like Isolated Storage Explorer or similar to do this.
If you mean something else, you're going to need to be a lot more specific.
As for restore, the only option available on LG is to put it in an app (such as the DiagProvXML app), either in the XAP file directly or into the isolated storage using something like Isolated Storage Explorer (I believe Windows Phone Device Manager can do this too). You can then process the provml using DiagProvXML or a similar app.
Again, if you want to do something else, you're going to need to be way more specific.
GoodDayToDie, thanks for detailed reply.
I'm not expert, but I'll try to explain. I bought my phone from Bell, unlocked it and moved to Speakout (Rogers). Problem was that data and mms never worked over the air, only wireless. My understanding is that provisioning xml file holds necessary settings and unfortunately I haven't had one for Rogers.
My only solution is to follow instruction from one of the treads (specifically written to help with this issue) to convert my phone to Australian version C900K which has necessary software to request and get xml file. I did that and finally I got xml file from Rogers and data working.
Now, I have various problems with C900K. For example I'm unable to install xap files, I have to update my phone manually, etc... All that was working just fine on C900B (Bell) version.
I was hoping I can export Rogers xml file out of phone, revert my phone to C900B, and then import xml file again, enabling data in process. Basically I would like to have C900B version working with data on Rogers using xml file I obtained from C900K version.
Does this make sense? I hope you understand what I'm trying to achieve.
You want to export your network configuration, so you can restore it on the original firmware. Note that while network configurtion can be set using provxml, it is neither stored that way internally once set, nor is that the only way to set it. Provxml is also used for a great many other things, which is why your original request was far too vague.
I assume LG has some kind of "network setup" app, and that you tried it but found it didn't have settings for your carrier? That most likely *does* use provxml, but extracting it will be a neat trick. It's probably stored in a database of some kind under the \Windows folder. Odds are that you can download it using the Webserver app, but I don't even know what files to look for on LG.
Your best bet would simply be to find the APN settings you need (that's basically the "Internet service provider configuration" for a phone) and enter those manually. Typically, your carrier is happy to provide you that info if for some reason your phone doesn't find it automatically, and you can find the option to select your APN, or add a new one, under Settings -> Cellular. That should enable data, hopefully including MMS (which uses data).
If that doesn't work, you could also try running AutoDataConfig; by setting a few registry values (easy on LG) you can force data config to run at the next time the phone boots up, which will try to set up neccessary configuration for your carrier (obviously, you must have the SIM card in at the time).
Hope that helps. It would be good to know what things you tried prior to the (generally quite excessive) step of re-flashing your ROM.
Hi!
I have a list of about 100 WiFi SSIDs and passwords that I've extracted from my old phone and I want to add them to the new phone that runs Android 10 and I couldn't find any useful information on the internet as everything seems outdated and not working.
The closest thing I've found is this: https://github.com/steinwurf/adb-join-wifi but I had to write a script, it adds only one network at the time and it doesn't work very well because often the networks aren't added and I also have problems escaping the SSID and passwords.
I've also tried to look for wpa_supplicant.conf but apparently it's not used anymore on Android 9 and 10, instead I've found a file called WifiConfigStore.xml but I'm not sure if and how it can be edited manually. Then I read I should use wpa_cli to add the networks but I get a service error when I run it. I also looked for Android apps but nothing like I need.
How can I add programmatically my networks? Is there an adb command, a file I could edit on the phone or an app that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Well, there's one way: Titanium Backup
It can restore your wifi SSIDs and passwords from an xml file named
com.keramidas.virtual.WIFI_AP_LIST-20191012-065050.tar.gz
(file is inside the archive). This file contains SSID and password in plaintext.

Inside the archive there's WifiConfigStore.xml which I've already found it. The format doesn't look trivial to me so this idea is not really usable. But thanks!
