install iptables on haykuro's 4.5

Hey can some post the .apk for iptables unzipped please so I can install it and get my wifi tethering program working please?
Thanks

Well I got iptables installed but none of the tethering programs work currently.
Anybody been able to get tethering working with haykuros builds?

As far as i can tell Wifi Tether for Root Users work but on first run it showed an error messaging saying that my g1 doesnt have root which it does and gives the choice of wether to override the error or not. The files installed quickly and it started tethering after a while.
WARNING!!!!! your phone msy freeze up when trying to stop the tether and will require removing the battery!

Wifi tether for root users doesn't work for me. The log says iptables or the kernel may need updated.

I've used WiFi Tether and it runs just fine.

I've tried an uninstall and reinstall, I still get the error in the log saying iptables can't initializa, iptables who, iptables or kernel may need updated.
What can I be doing wrong? I've only just installed the latest 4.5 today and I did do a wipe before installing.

I would remove the iptables and other files you copied over manually. Reinstall the wifitether apk and you should be gold. The wifitether apk actually installs the necessary files for you. I didn't have problems updating when I went from the 'manual tether' to this app, but I get lucky like that.

Didn't work for me. Removed the iptables, reinstalled wifi tether, numerous reboots, no joy.
Still have the same error. Wifi tether for root users was the program I tried to use before messing around with iptables. Worked fine for me with jf's roms but no joy today with haykuro 4.5.
Any suggestions?

I too have tried every tether app there is and still haven't had any luck.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
Just a thought, the apps wouldn't require busybox to be installed would they?

I've been having the same issues.

I'm having the same problem. If i fastboot and flash my nandroid backup of jf1.41 it works fine. When I updated to 4.5 it stopped working. I am running my apps off of sd. I uninstalled and downloaded it again to reinstall and i keep getting the iptable error in the log too.

Now that I think of it, I haven't tested the wifi tether in 4.5. I remember it ran no problem with 4.9. I just relinked my sd card for apps and am rebooting. I'll test when it gets back up.
Edit1: arrg, I don't know what I'm running anymore. I guess i'm running 4.5 w/o sdcard cause i created a loop when i relinked my sdcard. Fixing and I'll get back.

I just noticed my 4.5 doesnt have superuser so i opened up droidsans tweak tools and tried to reboot with that to see if my root was working. When i hit the reboot button in droidsans nothing happens either. I am going to try the junefabrics tethering app which doesnt require root and see what happens.

I am on 4.5 and none of the tether apps I tried work. I tried tetherblu, tetherwifi, wifi-tether, anetshare and one more. They all seem to work, but no internet connection once the computer connects to it. I also get the error stated before about updating kernel. Also, I am on the apps-to-sd kernel before the camera-headphones kernel fix so this might be related.
** WOO HOO ** 300th post. I bet at least 3 of them were good posts too!

Damn I hope we can figure this out soon cause my phone is my only net connection for now!

I'm on the 4.5 with camera and audio fix build.

I'm on 4.5 with apps to SD card, and the only tethering app I could get to work was PDAnet. I couldn't get wifi tether to work (got the same error as others about iptables or kernel needs to be upgraded) and Azilink wouldn't work either. However, PDAnet worked great AND it was the easiest to install and set up.

Cool I'll give it a try. How can I download the setup program with my phone?
Does wget work in android?

Cool I can get wget to work through busybox. Could somebody post the download link for pdanet?

Have the latest OTA can we use alt keyboards?

Hi, I installed the latest firmware upgrade. The unit runs fine... excellent. Can we run alternate keyboards while still running a stock G tablet?

You can but have to manually..
Look here:

Do I have to root the tablet to do this?
I saw that post. The user is running TNT Lite on a rooted GTablet. First, do I need to root the unit? Does that wipe out the latest update? I'd like to keep this as stock as possible since I'm happy with the latest update... but I want my swype etc... Thanks for your input.

I don't think you would need root to push the keyboard file. Only issue would be if the folder permissions needed to be changed. Then you might need root. Root would not do anything to your tablet as far as updates, etc. Just lets you have access you normally would not. Kind of like being the administrator on a windows machine...

Which root prog would you recommend?
That's what I was hoping to hear. Rooting has no effect on the rom other than allowing me to get under the hood... great. I tried to copy the apk to the system/app and I didn't have permission. What you recommend to root the tablet? Thanks.

Z4root is what most use. I don't recall if it is in the market or not. It is an apk that you install and then run. You can use Root Explorer to change the permissions after that.
I don't run stock so I have to go by memory so sorry if I sound kind of vague...

No luck with OTA and swype
Tried to load swype (after rooting) on a Viewsonic ota rom. No go, many force close issues. I dropped the apk in the system/app directory, changed to permissions to match the others, rebooted and nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Hiya!
I was wondering about this too.
However, my problem is that I can't find the apk for my preferred keyboard (SwiftKey Pro). I searched for it using Astro File Manager and it doesn't come up anywhere (the data files for it sure do, though. Just not the apk!).
In addition, I am not sure how to get a root file manager on to my GTablet so that I can copy it over (in Astro I found the system/app files, but I can't do anything there since I can't get root access in there with Astro).
I've looked for a root file manger in AppBrain and found one, but the Market does not see it (cannot be found) so I am stuck on how to get root access in the system/app place.

optimus t android questions

I just signed up with tmobile and got a Optimus t for free. My last phone was a blackjack 2 so this is a big upgrade for me. I've been reading all the android hacking threads. There was a couple things I couldn't quite figure out.
1. I'll install z4root and root the device. Do I need any other software to remove the pre installed junk from t mobile?
2. I may want to add some roms or change the kernel. What program do I use for backing up my device?
Thanks

new 2 android
welcome to android you will notice a big difference in software and customizability. but i digress . to awnser your question once rootrd you can remove all those pesky junk apps as i think of them such as kindle and blockbuster my solution was root uninstaller but first you will need superuser permissions one suggestion is to get rom mannager from the market and once installed in the rom manager app run whats called fix permissions should just be just a click away the phone will run script for about five minutes while it frees up the permissions by granting all apps super user permissions then once that has happined you can go into the root uninstaller aplication and get rid of that stock junk (note this is without running custom rom seeing as i encountered the same problem due to i recently got the cliq2 and so far cannot run custom rom as of yet to my knowllege)

need help moto backflip

i just rooted my backflip i have the superuser app. but when i try to install a app from a web .. doesnt let me.. can someone help me,,, thank you...

Ok so you rooted it, but did you install a new rom? because i believe until then, your phone is essentially the same as it was before you rooted it, on the line of thought I'd probably suggest either the unofficial cyanogenmod 6.1.2 from [modmymobile.com/forums/566-motorola-backflip-roms/561709-rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-v6-1-2-froyo-2-2-1-a.html], or the preclair if you don't want to move to 2.2 [modmymobile.com/forums/566-motorola-backflip-roms/556727-rom-preclair-v1-6-jit-netfilter-swap-ext3-ext4-tun-2-12-11-a.html] remember though that the backflip is receiving no official support so this is the best for now.. but anyway, getting web apps to download: after you've installed one of these roms, go to settings>applications>then check the Unknown Sources box, then you can sideload non-market apps

Non-market app options are based on carrier, not root access. Follow the last post's instructions on how to get there in the settings. If that fails you need a custom rom, or if you want to keep a stock rom you can sideload without root. You can search the net for Android sideload apps or use the actual Android SDK. In either of those methods you'll need USB debugging enabled in your phone's app settings.

[Q] Lollipop ROM without Root?

Hi All,
I am looking for a Lollipop ROM that doesn't come pre rooted due to some of the Apps that I use and the PITA with the way they check for roots, so root hiders don't work for them. Anyone know if such a ROM exists. From what I can see they all look like they come pre rooted.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I am look for an AOSP rom.
Cheers

I guess most of the roms are prerooted because (most) people who flash custom roms are using apps that need/use root privileges (e.g. titanium backup or xposed framework + modules). So if the roms are prerooted there is no need to root it manually every time after flashing a new rom. Or in other words prerooted roms mean a reduction of steps/time needed to setup a new rom. And that's probably the reason you won't find any custom rom that isn't prerooted.
But as far as I know root privileges only exist as long as you have installed root apps like SuperSU or SuperUser. Therefore I would suggest you to try uninstalling whatever root app is used by your prefered rom. Since I never faced a problem like yours I can't garantee for anything and it's always recommendable to prepare a backup before you start "messing around".

Did you try to just disable it ?
First you enable the Developer options (Settings -> About phone -> click several times on Build number)
you go in Developer options and it's one of the first options, it's called Root access, by default, it's set to Apps only, you set it to Disabled and no apps will have root access.
Let me know if it's working that way.
