Can one of the admins remove my tether sticky and make this thread a sticky...
Thanks

wow...thx to all involved in this -- looks great

Cool little app. Just installed and it works great. Wish there was an easy way to change the SSID.

Remove old
i installed this the other day and this is great.
Works 100% perfect.
the only question is how do i remove the old Tether1.6
I have been looking around but i cant figure out how to uninstall/remove the old setup
Thanks again

Great job. Open source ftw

Awesome ap and well done. Thanks!!!

To echo memphis, will installing this conflict in any way with tether 1.6? Does this overwrite Tether 1.6?

working flawlessly
now, if only T mobile would roll out 3g in my market
q1 2009, my foot

I just deleted tether 1.6 from my sd & installed this tether and it works flawlessly, no conflicts at all.

Awesome. Tethering can't get easier than this.

This is brilliant. Getting the best transfer speeds for any tethering program yet. Getting about 1200kbps over 3g!

yes thats work great man good job

Now because I'm a neat freak, I have to ask:
How does one go about "uninstalling" the tetherv1.6 package?

I have to chime in here just to emphasize how amazing this app is. It includes security and it's free! I can't see this app getting any better than it already is!!!
Many thanks to the developer for this amazing app =)

Are you using a mod to run application from sd-card? If yes, this might be the problem ...

You can just leave it, or manually delete each of the files...
From a terminal session (adb shell or terminal on the phone) type:
su
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf-secure
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.leases
rm /data/local/tiwlan.ini
rm /data/local/bin/tether
rm /data/local/bin/iptables
rm /data/local/bin/dnsmasq
There ya go...

works great! thanks

I still see dnsmasq.pid in that folder. Should I delete? (I also see bin and tmp, don't think those should be deleted correct?)
-----
Nevermind, bin is a folder. Which is now empty. tmp is also an empty folder. The question remains, what to do w/ dnsmasq.pid? It's not hurting anything so far, so I'm not touching.

Yes...you do....

im not getting the predictive text for the hardware keyboard for some reason .. any suggestions?

Not sure why, but after you open the hardware keyboard you have to touch the "Type to compose box" and then start typing for it to turn on the predictive text.

yea after awhile i realized thats what it was .. i didnt touch it but it works now plus i reflashed a fresh jf adp1.5 so everything is a ok

Works great extra features is always a plus.

Cant get it working. it says "cp: cannot stat '/sdcard/libt9.so' : No such file or directory
Im assuming i have to unpack the zip to my sd??

Yeah you need to put the two files on your S.D.

Yea i just did.....rebooting as we speak...appreciate it

i installed this through the app installer app from the market and it works perfectly

here and easy through the pc

[HOW-TO] ADB for Dummies(How-To Learner's Guide)

Hi,
My name is Joe aka AndroidSamurai..
I have recently made some business acquisitions and will be starting up a new Android Learning series.. Stay tuned for updates..
Thanks again,

I thought some people might appreciate the instructions to get adb working over WiFi too and this seems like a good place to put it:
Type this in your terminal emulator on your Android device:
Code:
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
Then check it with this:
Code:
getprop service.adb.tcp.port
If it doesn't return "5555" and you're rooted, then do a "su" command and try again. You shouldn't need to be rooted for adb over wifi to work, but I haven't tried every device:
Code:
su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
Then check it:
Code:
getprop service.adb.tcp.port
When it returns "5555" then run this command in the terminal (or command prompt) on your computer:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.151
(Obviously enter your device's IP address. You must be on the same network as the computer that has the Android SDK installed.)
And you should be connected!
To tell the Android device to listen for adb on the USB port instead of TCP again, enter this into the terminal emulator:
Code:
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd
(again, might need "su" on your device)
Or just reboot the Android device.
And to tell your computer to use USB for adb instead of TCP:
Code:
adb usb
Now, keep in mind, when your Android device is listening for adb via WiFi, it's wide open... anybody that that the Android SDK installed and knows your device's IP address can access it without a password.
HTH,
Billy

[Temp Fix] Prevent GL2SD and Folder Mount from rebooting

I will not take any responsibility if something bad happens to your phone, or if you have to reflash the stock rom. This method is only tested on my own Xperia M2 D2303 and works fine so far.
If you did use the Towel Root method to gain root access to your M2, you probably tried to install Folder Mount or GL2SD in order to move some of your games and apps to your SD card. Unfortunately they will keep rebooting your phone unless you stop the SONY Ric service. Here is a temporary workaround.
Root your device first and follow the Towel Root guide, including the Super SU installation!
Make sure that your SD card is FAT32 formatted and there is sufficient space left to actually move the app/game
First download and install busybox from the play store and make sure that the install path says /system/xbin
Then also install Script Manager from the play store and open the app.
Tap the three dots on the bottom right of your screen to open the menu and select "New Script"
Give it a convinient name, "ric" will do just fine
Select SM Editor from the list
Type in the following (the first line is already there)
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /system
stop ric
busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric
Save the file and close it
Now find the newly created "ric" in the list and tap it.
Make sure you select the "SU" and "Boot" icons and that "is script" is selected. Tap the save button.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Reboot and try if it works.
There are couple of "rootfixes" here on XDA that will attempt to fix the problem, but since they are all written for different Xperia devices they won't work. Also, this is NOT the same "halfroot" problem as on other Xperia phones since you can freely remount /system in RW mode, change permissions or delete/edit files inside.
This small script will be usable for all rooted M2's with locked bootloaders, while others will get custom kernels with blocked RIC sooner or later.
Remember: When you are done playing, unmount the folder in GL2SD/FolderMount before connecting the USB cable or stuff may happen.
Let me know if it works for you.

Currently, I'm not playing any large file gaming but Many of friends from M2 group experiencing bootloop when trying to folder mount, I'll let them know for this temp fix and post it here how the outcome.

Thank you very much !!!!!
Works very well and now, I can move my obb folder !!!!
Great script

it does'nt work
If I write these commands on terminal it work but the script produce no result.

How to instal busybox if system is read only?
Thanks

What's the package for Service Provider update?

Randomly, out of no where, started getting "Service Provider Update" dialog about install software for my sim. Accepting it throws it into recovery with an error.
What's the package for it so I can disable it?
EDIT: After messing around with ADB, isolated the package: com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig.
A couple users had this issue in the T-mobile and Verizon forums, as well as I on U firmware, so hopefully this'll help those who encounter this issue with root.

Any chance you can provide instructions on how to disable or delete via adb??
EDIT: Figured it out:
You must be rooted, and then enter adb shell.
Then enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
pm list packages -e | grep 'AutoPreconfig'
pm disable com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig

Good evening friends,
My Note 10 + N95F always when get start, more less 1 min later show me this mensage Service Provider Update.
Do you know If it work in N975F Android 10 ?
If yes, can I use these Comands in Teminal Emulator for Android 10 with ROOT?
adb shell
su
pm list packages -e | grep 'AutoPreconfig'
pm disable com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig
Thank you very Much

The "Service Provider Update" dialog pops up on Android 12 on my Samsung M-127f after installing Magisk. And the AutoPreconfig app isn't on android 12. and i can't uninstall an app that doesn't exist. So what to do then to solve it without going stock?
