[Q] Need help tethering G Tablet to Moto Droid 1

Need help tethering G Tablet to Moto Droid 1
OK, I have tried everything to get this to work. I have tried TnT gapps patch in boot recovery and side loading and no go.
I have tried editing wpa_supplicant file in wifi folder both manually and with a mod that used g script as a toggler between infrastructue and ad hoc, no go.
Droid will ad hoc to Apple iPod and iPad and laptop running Windows XP with no problems, just can't figure out how to get the Droid 1 and G Tablet to ad hoc and also want it to ad hoc and connect to my router in infrastructure mode. G Tablet does connect to infrastructure router with no problem.
G Tablet and Droid 1 are both rooted. I am using Root Explorer to edit G Tablet. I am using Wireless Tether on the Droid 1. I have tried Barnacle too. Nothing works to get the two to link together.
I want to continue to use the stock UI on the G Tablet.
Here is device specs:
G Tablet: Stock UI rooted
Android OS Ver. 2.2
Tap UI Ver. 1.1-3389
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty
hudson(at)tapntapsvn
Build Num. FRF91
Droid 1: Stock rooted
Android Ver. 2.2.1
Baseband Ver. C_01.43.01P
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5
android-build(at)apa26 #1
Build Num. FRG3D
(Parenthesese around (at) in Kernel Ver. due to new user rules about links)
I have been at this for days and can't figure it out. If someone has a true step by step or can offer any help to get this going it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

install the 3389 performance pack. This fixes adhoc and installs gapps.

The first post of each thread explains everything. The biggest reason to flash clockwork recovery is to repartition your sdcard to avoid problems later. There are a couple of known issues with the stock TnT 3389.
The tab seems to get stuck at a low cpu speed when waking from sleep. It takes a reboot to fix this. You can flash a custom kernel to fix this.
The tab will delete your media files from your external sdcard if you don't put an empty file named ".nomedia" in whatever folder your media files are in.

Well so much for that. I installed the enhancement pack and now have zero conectivity and don't know what to fix now. At least with all of the other mods it was easy to back out of.
WTF!!! I am about ready to take it to the shop and run it through the table saw.
How do I recover it now???

P.S. I read all of those threads you posted before I posted. I tried to install the generic one before but not the enhanced one. How do I recover it???

Read the update.zip thread I linked.
Install clockwork and install the 3389 update stock rom. Wipe data/cache
If you don't want to install clockwork then download the 3389 update and the clockwork 0.8 zip.
Unzip clockwork 0.8 zip to the root of a micro sdcard
Delete the update.zip file
Open the recovery folder
Open the command file in the recovery folder
Make sure the line has "SDCARD2" and NOT "SDCARD"
You can edit it. Make sure if you do it doesn't add a .txt extension to it
Rename the 3389 update zip file to "update.zip" and place that on the root of the micro sdcard
Insert micro sdcard in the tablet
Boot the tablet holding the Power/Vol+
Hold the Vol+ until you see " Recovery key pressed"
Let it install and reboot and you should be back to stock.
Install the performance pack the same way.
If you install clockwork recovery you don't need the recovery command file to flash roms. I can't recommend strongly enough to install clockwork recovery to do this and to wipe data/cache

I think your problem has a very simple solution because I have had this problem after the wifi teather app recently updated all I had to do is go into the wifi feather app and select a channel I choose channel 11. Then I went into settings on the tablet and wifi network I pressed menu advanced and choose channel 11 also this fixed my issues hopefully it will fix yours I too use a Motorola Droid 1 and a G Tablet my tab is on vegan5.1 with pershoots latest kernal my D1running the latest bugless beast with jdlfg 1125 Kernel

I was able to install clockwork mod so far but I am still working on getting the enhancement to load. It aborts install. I will try to re download it.

Neither enhancement works. Clockwork mod works, it starts to load the fine then quits with a prompt, (bad) cannot load file. 3389 and 3452 both come up bad. I re downloaded both several times form all of the sites still hosting it. Some of the sites had the file removed.
Why is this not working? I followed it to a tee. Same procedure as installing clockwork mod. Command file is formatted correctly and directs to the proper folders and drive. (SDCARD) I also cleared the cache and did a backup.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help so far. It at least installed clockwork mod. I did at least figure out how to return the wifi settings to allow infrastructure to work. Every time I try to install this it skews the file and permissions. I can at least return it so it is still useable but would really like to get the ad hoc to work.
I also tried WPA, no encryption, changing channels, changing IP addresses, and just about every other setting on this.
Tablet has original OTA update from 12/25/10 then rooted.

Once clockwork is installed you no longer need the recovery/command. Make sure the 3389 performance pack is a .zip and not a .rar. If it is .rar then you need to "unrar" it.
Place it on the internal sdcard and select it in the clockwork recovery menu. Don't use Rom Manager.

None of this is working. Error comes up:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I have tried to re download the files, I have just renamed them, I have pasted them into an already labeled zip folder, nither option works.
I use the manual install on CWMod so I know I am choosing the correct file andf it just says that it is bad.
Is it possible that the download file is no good? When you said to "unrar" it is that simply changing the file name or is it copying to another folder or extracting the file??? If the file is bad then I am just going in circles but if I am doing something wrong (which I don't think so) then I am missing something.
After a reboot I need to go into the wifi folder to open permissions for the wifi to connect again and then it will connect to my router but not the droid.

I dunno if this will help but i remember on my droid it never liked working with a files named update.zip in cwm.. change the name of the file and then apply it

"rar" is another file compression like zip. On windows download 7zip. It will allow you to "unrar" ie "unzip" the file. I just checked and the performance pack is a .rar file. You can't rename it to .zip. You must extract it using the unrar file extraction tool. There will be a .zip inside that that you can flash

That was it!!!! Thanks for all of your help and for replying. The 7zip did the trick. I was unaware that the zip format was different.
Very cool. Works on Droid 1 wireless tether.

if the files you are downloading are in RAR format, you cannot simply rename them to ZIP. You will need to use a WinZip, 7Zip, or some other utility to extract the update.zip file from the file you downloaded.
Once you have extracted update.zip to your PC, you can then connect your g tablet via USB and connect that way. Copy update.zip to the folder of your choice and then reboot into cwm to install the update.

Ok, the new flash works, ad hoc now works and it added the market and the stock android camera and some other things. Here is the new issue and I will just continue in this thread since one relates to the uprade of another.
After the upgrade, the internal camera will take pics an are viewable in the "gallery" but any jpg loaded into the tablet via usb or e mail are not visible. He gallery shows a blank thumbnail and opens blank file as i the image was there but no actual pkc. I saved the pic in DCIM, camera, thumbnails, andro, sdcard, etc... and the gallery will pick up all of these files but displays blank thumbnails and blank photos.
I realize that th original camera and viewer were different than the android camera and gallery. Th problem is that I want to be able to view e mailed photos and imported photos like it used to. As I said it does store and view pics taken with the internal camera but that is not of real importance here but a fix woud probably fix all of it.
Anybody have a patch or fix for that that would not undo any of the other changes? Also, a patch to usb tether a droid or other mass storage device?
Thanks in advance.

You can attach a fat32 external HD to the Gtab. The externally powered ones seem to work more consistantly.

LeeDroid 2.2.0 music prblms

Hey. Ok so ever since I've been rooted I've only used leedroid roms and nvr had major problems but in the most recent release I can't get any music player to work. The one he supplies won't detect my music and neither is power amp... Thnx for any help

I can't say why it's not working on your phone, but what i can say is that i've no problems listening to my MP3's on Lee's ROM with the default player. Which file format do you use? Have you tried to copy it to another folder with a file explorer? It had once a problem with a pdf file but after i copied it to another folder it worked.

Well thanks for the info but i decided to super wipe and install fresh and that seemed to have done it for me but thnxs anyways

Many of these errors are fixed, entering managing applications, particularly the application and delete data

[Script] Make Play Music Cache to External SD

Many of you have probably moved on to some variant of Jellybean and have maybe found other ways to do this (I in fact was on CM10 and had swapped internal and external cards--bad battery life brought me back to a stock based ROM) but I have struggled to find a good way on stock based ROMs to get Google Play music to cache to the external card. There were several suggestions, but none seemed to work for me. For those who might still be interested I found this thread by DeathmonkeyGTX which was based on this thread by Skittles. Took a few attempts and an edited script but I managed to make it work! I would assume this will work on any rooted ICS stock ROM, but was tested on Tweaked 2.2.
I have attached the edited script file that worked for me. And here are the copied instructions:
Prerequisites: Rooted phone; copy the .txt attached to this post to the root of the internal NAND flash, i.e. /sdcard/. Then make a folder in the root of your external_sd called "MusicCache." without the quotes or period.
1. Using whatever task manager you have or just go into settings->apps->running, close google play music.
2. Open your file manager and browse to /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache and delete all of the files found in music dir and artwork dir in this directory. This is very important step. If you do not delete your cache then your files will take up space but will no longer be available after this process.
3. Go to the google play store and install script manager - Smanager. Open smanager, and on first open you should see an option to select root, check that option and click ok and make sure to grant root to the app when the su dialog appears.
4. In Smanager browse to the root of your sdcard and click on and hold the "MusicScript.txt" to open a options dialog. Select "open as" and then select "Script/Executable".
Then Select "Su" and "Boot" and hit save.
5.. Go to settings app->apps->google play music-> and hit clear data.
6. Reboot your phone.
To verify this worked I checked the external_sd card after syncing an album to my phone. It was an album I was previously warned I didn't have enough space to save all of the songs.

Hello there I noticed that you found a way to save your music from the Play service to the external sd card. I followed all your steps and it is still not working, the music is saving in the default location. I have the Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G, running the official CM10, stable version.

Good, but you misspelled sdcard in the script!

How glad am I to have found this old thread!
I have a Galaxy S2 LTE running stock 4.1.2, on which it's of course not possible to create links between the internal "USB" storage (where my Play Music files were stored) and the external SD.
And this solution worked! So thanks a bunch rbeier1221! Thanks to the OP's of the linked threads as well, but yours is the one that popped up in my Google search, and the guide I followed, so you get the thank you-post.
Though I did skip the steps to download the attached script and install Scriptmanager. And if anyone else should manage to google their way to this thread, and just happens to have ROM Toolbox on their phone, you can just type in the mount command along with your file paths in the Scripter utility (or import an existing script I'm guessing would work just as well).

i dont understand the storage mounting over USB

So I just got the OPO. Ive rooted and unlocked bootloader etc. But I'm trying to get my titanium backups from my HTC one to this phone. When I connect over MTP it pops up to view the files, I can see pictures, music, podcasts etc, no titanium backup folder on the root directory. I see another folder says "Storage > emulated > legacy" once I click through those directories the last one "legacy" I can see an odd looking file that says titanium backup, but it doesn't look like a folder and I cannot access it.
However using a file browser on the phone I can access the titanium backup folder in this location.
So how do I access this folder over MTP?? It doesn't make sense to me.
I'm wondering if theres somthing wrong with one of the drivers, I do have a yellow icon in device manager, but everything else workds (fastboot, ADB, and MTP seemingly works)

Just create the folder and put your backup files in it.

Yeah that's what I did. I just didn't understand why I couldn't view the titanium backup folder that was originally created on the one plus one via USB.

I'm in the same situation. I was used to direct storage access through USB, not MTP crap (it's not an old MP3 player! It's a 1+1!!!).
I come from a HTC One X and I had to use GDrive to transfer part of my files. Additionally to should pay attention to file permissions because Windows makes some confusion
and alters them so that you can't write on some folders you bring from the old phone.
My only solution ,so far, is to create the folders using the phone file manager (I'm on Solid Explorer) and then copy the files: in most cases they get the permissions from the folder in which are written.
Found anything new since the 7th October?

[Q] Titanium Backup folder not accessible via MTP, shows up as a file

I'm using Titanium Backup on the latest L Preview and while the apps and data get backed up fine, I'm unable to access this folder from the PC via MTP. In This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\storage\emulated\legacy, there is a blank icon file called TitaniumBackup, which is supposed to be a folder in which all the data is stored. Using ES File Explorer on the phone, I can see that the files are all stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, but when I try to open that on the PC (This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\TitaniumBackup), the folder is empty.
Is there any security setting that causes this? How do I access the files in the folder from the PC?
UPDATE: I just used ES File Explorer to move all the files from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup into /sdcard/TitBac and I can now access these. I still think this is a workaround and that there has to be a better way to do this.

you could use "adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup somefolder"
mtp is generally buggy for me, so i got used to adb push/pull

I'm having the EXACT same problem. Go to backup save location, and nothing but one 4.0 kb file. No backups. I can see them in ES, but I'm also having a separate issue writing to shared folders on my pc with ES. Can anyone provide some insight?

When you first plug the phone in, all folders appear as a file. It takes a bit for windows to determine their actual properties. Bigger folders take longer. So try waiting a bit. Otherwise try mtp in TWRP or adb pull as mentioned

This also just happened on the Galaxy SIII Intl with a recent OmniROM nightly. Now, prior to flashing Lollipop, I was running an Omni nightly on the Nexus 5 as well. Not sure if this has something to do with it...

This is worth a shot. I also just looked for some ADB-based file explorers and found a few, but one of them was abandoned and the other one requires GTK+ and building, so I'm wondering if you've got a personal favorite...

I'm pretty sure I waited a reasonable while before concluding this, but other than the Windows Explorer progress bar, there's really not much you get to go by. The Titanium Backup folder in question doesn't have too many files (~500) and I've had folders with images and videos (DCIM, mostly) with at least 5 times more files show up instantly. I don't think this is the issue, but I'll give it a try when I face this problem next.
