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 would like to establish a Cisco IPSEC-connection with my Xoom, using get-a-robot-vpnc. The problem is that I'm missing a tun-kernel-module and can't find one for the xoom on the web
Does anyone have one for the Xoom WiFi only running 3.2 (Build HTJ85B) with stock kernel?
Thanks!

Pulled this out of the EU32Update file, not sure if its what youre looking for??

Thanks, I tried this but it looks like it's only for that ROM.
Maybe someone else has a tun-kernel-module for the stock 3.2?!
Greetings
McDV
yup, I'd like to see this too..
Just instal tiamat kernel 2.1 it contains tun.ko and several other modules.

also you need to use this modified vpn connections
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12124163&postcount=23
Here is tun.ko for 3.2 stock.
wonderful! many, many thanks.
hi,
Will this work on 3.2.1? I copied it /system/lib/modules but when I try to openvpn I get cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically.
Is this just a bad file for 3.2.1 or am I missing something else?
I did install busybox and openvpn.
Thanks,
Your tun.ko kernel module needs to be compiled specifically against your kernel source. I don't work with stock anymore, however the developer kernel now floating on xda have this module specifically rolled into their kernels. You would have to root however to install these kernels.
Thanks Kevdog..
I searched and i couldn't find any for 3.2.1. I am the rooted stock 3.2.1 already downloaded from xda. Just need to tun.ko for 3.2.1.
If u know where to find, please send me the link.
Thanks.
Ok 3.2.1 -- Stock or Rooted? What kernel are you running?
I got my rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214
Thanks,
Ok -- I know this is a lot of work, however I tried it myself and I'm not sure if the rom you linked to is corrupted or my download process failed. (***Rant -- why all the developers who put out files don't match the file to an md5 sum so us users can verify the integrity of the dowload -- I'll never know!!), but I can't seem to extract your system.img. You'll need a tool such as unyaffs to unpack the system.img and then search around in the modules folder until you find the tun.ko. Or you could just flash a Tiamat 3.2.1 kernel which has these modules built in!!
I checked checksum and it was correct before I installed it. Not sure what u mean, I thought this rom doesn't have it period.
I also tried to use tiamat 2.2 which says its for 3.2 but it got stuck at boot for 30 minutes at the honeycomb screen. I thought maybe tiamat ker
Net doesn't support 3.2.1 yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200063
As far as i know this is latest. Doesn't mention 3.2.1. Didn't work for me.
I don't want to go to tiamat rom to avoid a full rebuild.
I just got my xoom back after getting the 4G LTE sim installed and the 3.2.2 version of Honeycomb.
I have rooted it again and restored my apps and data, but am stuck on a lot of things work related since there is no kernel that provides tun.ko and keeps 4g working.
Is there a kernel being built that provides tun and 4g or maybe possibly a Moray type rom that has 4g support? (That would be super sweet).
Dude the only one was in the universal root thread. If you changed kernals I think your stuck till we can get the img.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
I used the Universal Xoom Root process available in Development. It gave me back root access and superuser, but the kernel is still stock and lacking write access to the microsd card and tun.ko in the kernel so that IPSEC VPN connections work.
Was just searching around to see if a kernel with 4g support was in the works. Was going to use the Rogue kernel, but there is a post about waiting until it can be updated to handle 4g access.
I will just sit back and monitor the forum for an update.
The Tachi kernel is working for a few people so far. I don't live in a 4G area (VZW says it will be here next month), only work in one so I can't test the LTE yet, though the 3G works fine from my home.
I've identified a few minor annoyances and work arounds as compared to running the kernel (and Moray ROM) prior to 3.2.2 HLK75D as listed in this post:
PengLord said:
Interesting... I installed File Manager HD, enabled Root Explorer (in the settings menu) and it prompted for Root permissions. It works great. The next step in resolving this is going to be remounting the external1 device on boot to enable global write support. As I'm not so well versed in Android architecture to do that, I'll use MicroSD Mounter manually on boot.
The final step to getting this all sorted will be for me to figure out how to mount usbOTG devices, If anybody has experience with that on this kernel with a 4G Xoom, I'd very much appreciate it.
I figured out my problem with usbOTG support... I needed to added the "usbOTG" folder in the "mnt" directory using Root Explorer and then install a mount manager such as USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG

This will get you set up with R/W support for the external1 folder and usbOTG, VPN support may be in there as well since the kernel supports it, I however haven't tried it nor have I read about it being tested as functional on the HLK75D build.
Sadly solarnz announced he will not be working on a 4G Tiamat ROM due to life getting in the way, this means we will likely need to wait until another dev gets caught up or until ICS gets released to us by Motorola (fingers crossed for next month) before it gets any easier.

See the arcturus kernel thread over on xoomforums... there is now an open beta for a postupgrade kernel if you want to try it
Hi Etchg,
I had a similar issue. I sent my Xoom in for the 4g update. When it came back I rooted it. Trying to vpn into work (ipsec) I found that my new kernel 2.6.36.3-g6963abe has no tun.ko file. I found some instructions online and compiled one myself. Attached is my tun.ko (You will need to unzip and put in the systems/lib/modules directory. If your kernel is exactly the same as mine then it should work. BTW, with the new tun, I have successfully VPN'd into my work.

I just came back to this thread and saw the tun.zip you uploaded. I tried to open it, but it tells me it is corrupt.
Can you either upload it again or use dropbox and send me the link?
I was able to extract the module and load it on my Xoom. I have the same kernel, but I keep getting an authorization error when I try to connect. Darnit all to heck!
I fixed the authentication issue I was having. Thanks for the module...works like a charm.
Thanks for compiling the tun.ko. It works correctly with Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices.
Glad to help
Hi Guys,
Been absent for the week. Glad to hear that you got it downloaded and working!
-Jared
This always comes back as corrupt for me. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't extract the tun.ko out of the zip. I haven't been able to create my own either, so I'd really appreciate someone posting this.
Hey,
There is a strange effect with revolver rom.
I flashed revolver rom to my TF101G and tried to reinstall all my apps, including the bought app weather pro HD.
But I can not install the app, because the android market doesnt show it anywhere.
If i search manually via the browser I can find it, but if i want to install, the market says, that the app does not support the device.
How can this be? The app worked fine on revolution hd and original firmware.
Thanks for your help.

This is a common problem. It's often caused by differences in the build.prop of your new ROM. Try manipulating your current build.prop to make the model identifaction identical to that of your last ROM. The forum has a plethora of how tos to do that.
This problem often occurs with the T101G model, as quite a few apps only list the T101 as compatible but they miss the T101G, as they consider it a niche model. So simply switching your build.prop entry (not the whole file though!!) to the one of the T101 should fix this kind of problems!
edit: see this app to change build.prop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479703
Thanks modmatt for your response. Now I can switch completly to revolver rom.
Very nice Forum here with many competent people.

Ok, so, it took a while to get it run, and I think I should tell you what i did.
Revolver Rom sets the build version to 8.6.5.21 and the pad location to US.
This is a Promlem for EU versions, because of there some apps not available in some regions/ on some hardware.
First, i suggest to use a normal text editor instead of using the build.prop tool. The tool is nice, but you dont get an overview of the complete file und you cant outcomment lines, so i use the es fileexplorer and its integrated ez text editor.
1. Go to /system and open the file build.prop
2. Change the following items by outcommenting the old lines and write the new lines under.
Code:
#ro.wifi.country=US
ro.wifi.country=GB
# ro.build.fingerprint=asus/US_epad/EeePad:3.2.1/HTK75/US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216:user/release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW_epad/EeePad:3.2.1/HTK75/WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202:user/release-keys
# ro.build.description=US_epad-user 3.2.1 HTK75 US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 release-keys
ro.build.description=WW_epad-user 3.2.1 HTK75 WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202 release-keys
#ro.build.host=Mercury
ro.build.host=Mars
#ro.build.display.id=HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
ro.build.display.id=HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202
#ro.build.date=Fri Dec 16 13:21:01 CST 2011
ro.build.date=Sat Dec 3 00:50:25 CST 2011
#ro.build.date.utc=1324012861
ro.build.date.utc=1322844625
#ro.build.version.incremental=US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
ro.build.version.incremental=WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202
Do not touch the other line.
3. I don't know if you only need to restart or reboot to recovery and wipe the cache. I've wiped the cache (attention, only the cache wipe, not a full wipe)
4. After reboot the market should show you all the apps, you get with the original stock image
Hi,
nice follow-up!
Just remembered, that if your problem is merely based on the region, rather than on the model, you could always go with the App "Market Enabler", that allows changing region on the fly.
Cheers, modmatt
Thanks matt, but in this case it wasnt a problem of region only. Because i tried to set replace the US with the WW only, without any luck. It worked not untill i changed the buildversions etc.
Would like to know if the App Weather pro HD is only available on TF101G. Because that seems to be if i look to the solution of problem. Is there anyone could try this out?
For me it's available on T101 with Revolver. Device was bought in Germany and I never manually edited the build.prop in any way. So it might depend on your provider for your 3G card.
really? I bought my tab also in germany. Dont think, its a problem of the provider. I think its more the difference between tf101g and the version number of the firmware, because usually there couldnt exist a tf101g with a firmware version of a tf101.
Hi guys.
I can't reply to original topic, which is here.
I've downloaded version [ROM] CM7.2-20120325-gio-NIGHTLY-AROMA.zip nad installed it without any problems, in newest clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7.
My problem is, that after restarting wi-fi or whole system it changes mac address. First 3 pairs (if i remember it's producers code) are still the same, but the rest is random i think.
I've searched through this forum, and user google, but i don't found anything that can help me...
I found how to change mac address, but i read it's not permanent change...
Someone could help me?
Sorry if I added this question to wrong forum, I'm just no so good at english, as you probabky can see while reading my post
OK, sorry that was my fault...
I run app named GooManager and after that and after while it said there is patch to current ROM. I installed this patch (I had to do it manually, because of GooManager crashes, i think it's because of SuperUser, but there were no info about needed priviliges) nad now everything works fine i think
Patch is here. If someone could edit main topic and add this?
