I am thinking of picking up one of these, but I would need to be able to connect to an ad-hoc wifi network. does anyone know if this is possible? Also if anyone can tell me how much faster it appears to run after the stock overlay is removed I would appreciate it. Thanks all

As far as Ad Hoc, yes it can be done. Worked for me when I still had mine. Connected to the wifi from my Droid 1. You have to hack the wifi file a bit but its not hard.
can you tell me what you did to the wifi file? are you using wireless tether on the droid? thanks
this worked for me

Can you just rename the zip as update and run through the stock recovery?
The newer TnT Lite and VEGAn mods have this binary, already.
As for how much faster, not a lot versus adding a Tegra performance pack. If you want speed, you want the performance pack or run one of the mods above (especially VEGAn).
I want to keep it stock until after the next update. I just want to see how it works stock. Testing to see if this will be a good device for my father he isn't going to be flashing ROMS so I want to see what I can do with a stock ROM.
How do I get the Ad Hoc working with Stock ROM?

The Adhoc fix is in the wpa_supplicant file. You'll need to replace the stock version of that file from the version in the latest vegan or TnTlite build.
I'm not sure if you can simply connect to computer via USB, find the file, and replace it (I doubt it).
Perhaps you can create a recovery update that only replaces that one file. I don't know if it works, but you could try starting with a Vegan or Tnt build, keep the recovery folder, and delete everything in the update.zip except for the wpa_supplicant file.
Hi
I managed to install the above using Atools, then copied the update files to Andboot and when booting held the volume switch up and selected upgrade, but still no wifi.
My system info is as follows
Kernel 2.6.25.99a3b07 [email protected] #5034
build full_vogue_userdebub2.2.1 FRG83eng.dcb.2010202.221724 test_keys
Any help ?
Thanks
Robert
use my latest kernel and the wifi update
sorry but still no wifi, re-downloaded Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18] then 2.6.32_VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-11-29-10 which i renamed to POLAIMG and the update from your link, but still have the following
Kernel 2.6.25.99a3b07 [email protected] #5034
build full_vogue_userdebub2.2.1 FRG83eng.dcb.2010202.221724 test_keys
Also i have tried all the radios mentioned on the polaris wm page with the same result.
So create Andboot and put in the android and update files and in the root of the card put in the above POLAIMG and boot.
Everything works fine and is stable except for the wifi and the kernal showing 2.6.25 instead of 2.6.32
Any help ?
Robert
Probably you didn't flash the phone....
Thanks all
Just an update reflashed with the original rom then retried the install and everything works
Robert
First, sorry to post here and no in developpement section but I haven t the right
Second, I try the megatron rom and it was fabulous. Everythings work fine and with guevor kernel, it is very fast.
My problem is that very often, i need to go on web without wifi connection. I do it with my phone ( htc tattoo) via wireless tether. It works fine with stock rom ics rooted but none with megatron.
In this case, the tablet can't see my phone
Any idea to resolve my problem ?
No problem for me, tethering from iPhone4 and Free
Thanks for the answer. Now I know it 's possible. I'll try again. Megatron is really amazing and I hope I can utilise it again
I tried again and same issue. The tf can't see my tattoo when I am with megatron rom. No problem with stock ICS or now with revolver RC2 and guevor kernel 17c.
Anybody have idea why ?
Is it a problem of chanel?
I hope there's a solution because I really prefere megatron but I need the possibility to utilise android tethering
Funny enough, I have the same issue. I love megatron (with guevor's 17c), but wifi tethering from my phone isn't visible to my tf101. It's visible to other people around me, but not to the tf101.
That's weird, mine work fine. I'm actually tethering off my CM7 N1 right now.
I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm happiest to see that it's possible tethering work and the phone can be see by the tf. But how?
I have the same problem with Megatron v1.0.4, with Revolution 3.2.2 or stock rom I can make tethering from my computer but I can't in Megatron. I think this is a problem with ad-hoc connections (I have the same problem with cyanogenmod in my phone). I hope it works in Megatron v1.1.0 because I like this rom.
This worked for me.
These are the instructions that came with the file:
1. root is required AND make sure you have your file system app (like Root Explorer) set to make files R/W so you can edit/rename/set permissions
2. turn off wifi
3. go into system/bin and rename wpa_supplicant2 to wpa_supplicant2.bak - that's right folks.. it is NOT wpa_supplicant but wpa_supplicant2 that is running the show
3. download the wpa_supplicant file found here post #24 in my other thread
4. unzip it
5. rename it wpa_supplicant2 NOT wpa_supplicant (already renamed)
6. move it to system/bin and paste it
7. set permissions to 755
8. go back and start up wifi
9. turn on wifi analyzer and you will see (*)AndroidTether with no red Ad Hoc notation!!
10. click to connect
11. surf and tether away!!
On my TF101 I did not have a wpa_supplicant2 in system/bin. I just copied the attached wpa_supplicant2 file into system/bin and set permissions to 755. Now I can connect to ad-hoc wifi signals like from my old Droid-1. The new file does not seem to affect infrastructure connections.
I am not sure under what conditions loading a new ROM will wipe out the modified wpa_supplicant2 file so keep a backup handy.

Wireless tethering from mb860 running cm9 to tf101 running megatron. No issues at all.
TF101 Megatron 1.0.4 Guevor test 17c
Updated megatron to 1.1.1 and it works now.
Just make sure you use guevor's kernel from megatron's thread!
In v1.1.1 I see the connection but I can't connect. I tried copying the wpa_supplicant2 file to /system/bin and setting 755 permissions but the same problem. I tried with stock kernel and guevor-17c kernel (downloaded from ricardo's thread)
I'm in the same situation. Nice progress, I'm updated to megatron 1.1.1 with guevor kernel 17c. Now, The tf see my phone and say to me that the signal is strong. But impossible to connect. But at the same time, I can connect my pc to my phone and go to the net.
Where is the mistake?
Any solution welcome
Thanks
I also upgraded to Megatron 1.1.1 and the Adhoc tethering stopped working (with the wpa_supplicant2 file in place.) It was working fine in 1.0.4. When it is working properly your adhoc access point signals will have (*) in front of them. I'll so more testing after I flash back to 1.1.1. -Rick
Nice. I wait and hope you'll find a solution

Pat
Well, I flashed Megatron 1.1.1. This version only installs a single file: system/bin/wpa_supplicant
With 1.1.1 the adhoc wireless access point (my old Droid-1) shows up in the list and tries to connect (obtaining ip address...) but never connects.
With Megatron 1.0.4 if you copy that special wpa_supplicant2 file I previously posted into system/bin then the adhoc signals show up with a (*) in front of the SSID and you can successfully connect.
I tried installing Megatron 1.1.1 but copied wpa_supplicant from v1.0.4 and the special wpa_supplicant2 into the 1.1.1 rom. Adhoc still would not connect.
So at this time the only way I know to use adhoc tethering with Megatron is with 1.0.4 and copy the special wpa_supplicant2 file I previously posted into system/bin using Root Explorer.
I did these tests with Guevor 17c kernel.
For those who have mentioned that their laptops connect to the wireless access point fine, that's because (at least with windows) the OS can connect to both adhoc and infrastructure mode wifi signals. I believe somewhere starting with ICS the adhoc mode was considered insecure and was removed from the code. Some phones like my old Droid-1 can only create an adhoc tether. I think some of the newer phones can create an infrastructure wifi tether so that explains why some of you are having success.
I am not an expert here so I defer to others who are more learned and experienced than I.

I don't use ad-hoc connections but you can try replacing wpa_supplicant in megatron 1.1.2 with wpa_supplicant2.
What i mean is you have to rename wpa_supplicant2 to wpa_supplicant and replace in it in the rom
Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for the GREAT ROM and the great work you do.
After version 1.0.4, replacing wpa_supplicant2 no longer works. I tried it in 1.1.1. The connections show up and try to connect but never actually finish connecting. If I flash back to 1.0.4 and copy the adhoc version of wpa_supplicant2 then adhoc tethering will work again. So something probably changed in the wifi driver after 1.0.4.
Are you saying in 1.1.2 I should delete the existing system/bin/wpa_supplicant, replace it with the adhoc version wpa_supplicant2 (renamed as wpa_supplicant)? I think I tried this in 1.1.1 and wifi would not turn on at all. I will try it again.
Can I do the replacement with Root Explorer on the live system or does the file need to be replaced in the ROM zip file before flashing?
Update: With the adhoc version of wpa_supplicant2 (named as wpa_supplicant) installed on 1.1.2 the wifi does not even turn on. With the original 1.1.2 wpa_supplicant plus the adhoc wpa_supplicant2 in system/bin, adhoc still does not work but the rest of wifi works. Using Guevor's 19.3 now.
-Rick
Thanks also Ricardo for your rom and for all the works and the time you give to answers at our problems.
Thanks to Rick for the help. Just after dinner, I wanted to try your solution with the modifications of Ricardo. You do it before.
Well, wait and hope there's a solution
Pat
Edit
@Rick
I come back to 1.0.4 and make all you said. Everything goes well and know I have tethering. It's the more important for me. I hope a solution will be find with the 1.1.2 but i'm very happy like this.
Thanks a lot
And if somebody find something for 1.1.2 please give us
provide me a logcat in 1.1.2 with the original wpa_supplicant
Hello to all,
I have samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 wifi (P3110)
I'm in trouble. I wanted to enable ad hoc networks, I did all the steps to the root, up here all right.
I replaced the wpa_supplicant file (in \ system \ bin) without the backup of the old. Now there is no longer working wifi, someone has an original file or to ad hoc networks in order to run the wifi?
Thank you in advance

Set perms on the WPA file u swapped. If u still have issues pull it from a stock rom or really any rom using whatever base your on.
Also just realized you posted in the development threads. Next time use QnA area.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
I'm looking for the tun.ko in order to use OpenVPN on my rooted phone with stock ROM on it.
I've tried several files but without success.
I've also tried TUN.ko Installer from Google Play as well as the one included on Cyanogenmod 7 (which I do not have installed right now, I just copied the file and went back to my stock ROM).
For the rest, busybox, got it. OpenVPN installer and config, ditto. All I'm missing is that darn tun.ko.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Ace with Gingerbread 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.35.7
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
