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.

Droid X red/black theme ported to Incredible?

If you've seen the videos showing the general UI theme of the Droid X, you may have noticed the super svelte red-on-black effect that the Droid X's theme employs. I'd love to port this to Incredible, but I don't know where to start. I think somebody already dumped the contents of the Droid X ROM, right? But then what's a good starting point for changing things inside the Incredible's /system/ folder?

Works well! I like it! Pretty interesting.

do you need to be in recovery to do this or just connect the phone with usb debugging and do the adb push? should the file be in the root of the SD Card?

Yes root of sd is fine. Then mount system then adb push does not have to be in recovery.

How to Root
How to Root
The iPPea comes with busybox built-in into the image. So unlike other devices we don’t have to compile/download busybox and deploy it - full access to all the busybox tools is available by default.
But what makes rooting really easy the iPPea has ro.secure off. This means that a simple adb connection is enough to grant root access - all that we have to do is install a su binary.
Unfortunately, the busybox su requires too much baggage of the traditional Linux system - notably /etc/passwd, /etc/groups and friends to work. Since this is a MIPS system and Superuser.apk is contains an ARM binary, that approach cannot work either. In addition, compiling su-binary from Superuser.apk requires the entire AOSP tree, which is too much work and network bandwidth for us. So, we will use a portable C implementation of su instead.
This step does require you to plug in the iPPea into a computer with ADB, so be prepared to do so. You will also need this prebuilt portable MIPS Android su binary.
Now that you have the ‘su’ binary handy as well as your iPPea detected in adb (adb devices, you may need to chown it to make it visible), here we go:
Code:
adb push su /dev/
adb shell
# now we are on the iPPea
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox mv /dev/su /system/bin/su
busybox chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
# now we are back to our computer
adb reboot # to reboot

[Guide] Custom SView for Chinaphones (especially Elephone P8 on KitKat and JellyBean)

Hey Guys,
since seeing it in the Jakermeister-Rom (4.2.2) i wanted the Custom SView Wallpapers for myself.
Unfortunately, no one answered my requests on the Forums and on Needrom, so i had to do it myself.
With the help of "CMone" from the german "Android-Hilfe.de"-Forum i managed to find the 3 Files you have to edit for changing the Sview, and made 4 Packages for the Start.
(You are welcome to experience making them on your own. its pretty simple if you know how to do it.
In Settings.apk(/system/priv-app) is the small preview in 225x225 and the picture itself in 720x650.
In SystemUI.apk(/system/priv-app) is the top background in 720x51 (just cut it out from your Picture you want to use).
In SuspendWindow.apk(/system/app) is the Picture itself, thats finally loaded on the SView.
Maybe this helps too, if your not on an Elephone/Sesonne )
The first Packages are only for KitKat! The second one is for Jelly Bean (as mentioned), but its not tested.
Who wants to try? *g*
Installation:
For this you need "adb" installed on your PC, and your device have to be rooted! (for Elephone/Sesonne P8 this works with "Framaroot"(the third Option))
Then you just extract adb (its nothing to install at all), put the 3 Files from my Package in there, start
a command shell (cmd for windows user), and do this:
For KitKat:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SuspendWindow.apk /system/app
adb push Settings.apk /system/priv-app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/SuspendWindow.apk
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/Settings.apk
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
exit
adb reboot
For Jelly Bean:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SuspendWindow.apk /system/app
adb push Settings.apk /system/app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/SuspendWindow.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
exit
adb reboot
Now your Device reboots, and you have pushed the Files in the correct Places, set the correct rights,
and after the reboot you could choose your own Wallpaper for SView.

If there is any reaction to this, im doing more. But for now, that´s all.
Have Fun with it! :mrgreen:
P.S.: it may function on other devices too. If you want to test it, test it on your own risk. Its not that hard to do, but you really should have a backup.
And most important: PM me or at least post it here, let other users know what is possible with their phones!

Cracking android passwords

I am ultra noob, so can anyone take a look at the following link for me.
And post a detailed guide.
https://www.pentestpartners.com/security-blog/cracking-android-passwords-a-how-to/
Thanks
P.S. I need this for my own phone and not for illegal stuff.

If your phone's Android is rooted
&
If your phone can get accessed by means of ADB
then
you can open Android's SQLite database named /data/system/locksettings.db via ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data/system
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db
and do the database query as mentioned in the article linked to.

@jwoegerbauer this is what it shows

​Some things to mention.
1.My phone is locked.
2.By default it goes to USB tethering mode upon connecting to my PC(I changed the setting in DEV mode)
3. It is rooted
4. It has orange fox recovery installed
5. Again I am a noob right now (won't remain that way for too long) and need a tutorial of some kind to do this successfully.
6. I do not know SQL and so how to use it either, and for that matter Hashcat too.
The blog still remains difficult for me.
Thanks again

Line
Code:
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data/system
should read as
Code:
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data

Nothing

I see today is not my best day.
This should work
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su -c 'mount -t auto -o rw,remount /data'
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db

Still not working @jwoegerbauer

Is there any other way such as doing all this in recovery mode or using terminal in orange fox
or adb sidelode or something.

My guess is that your phone 's Android isn't properly rooted.

@jwoegerbauer what does properly rooted mean. All apps that require root works properly.
SubwayChamp said : If you are in Android 10 system can't be mounted the suggested way, you also said that device is locked but is rooted (?). Orange Fox recovery has inbuilt an add-on feature that can do that.

It's not interesting here whether apps that require root work or not. In your case it is only important whether SU-binary can be found by the system.
Anyway:
Some newer Android builds require the following additional ADB commands to be run first to disable Android's AVB-lock
Code:
adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
Try this. Then run commands as listed above.
FYI: I no longer participate this thread. Have a nice day.

This is what it shows
