[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Networking for Both ICS and GB for htc Sensation
For GB , this Patch will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , Also Hotspot WPA2-PSK is still able to connect
For ICS , the APK will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection with Full WiFi Signal for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , and for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use through regular wifi menu
General
Android does not show this Ad-hoc networks ( it Finds them in the search , but filters them out of the shown results ) , this patch prevent that filtering and shows those ad-hoc networks
There are two types of WiFi Networks :
Infrastructure ( Hotspot ) WPA,WPA2-PSK which is the most secured connection , usually routers broadcast this
Ad-hoc it is either WEP or open network which is less security , usually issued through a laptop connected to a DSL line to broadcast a temporary WiFi connection
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible if flashing this Mod results in bricking your phone
for Rooted devices
ad-Hoc Networking for GB
Download Link
See attached Patch Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ( Full Credit and thanks to leeDroid )
ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher APK can also work with GB , But i prefer the permanent solution of the above Patch for GB
Apply the Patch
it is always good to do a Backup for your data , Or Just Backup the original file " wpa_supplicant " located in System\bin .
to restore the original file " wpa_supplicant " any time :
just open the Patch in a winrar window and navigate to System\bin and over-right the one in the Patch with the original ( you can get the original from your Rom zip ) . apply the modified Patch from recovery and you are back to the original
if you use Root Explorer to restore the original file ,make sure to set the correct permissions and ownership values
Clear Dalvik cache , and install the Patch from recovery as usual
ad-Hoc Networking for ICS
it is always good to do a NAND Backup for your Rom and data
there is an APK named " ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher " which i geuss is not intended for Sensation but can support additional devices in the try Mode , this APK has two modes
infrastructure mode infrastructure mode.jpg ( will not be used , for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use regular wifi menu )
and " Just to try " ad-hoc mode for non supported devices Just to try ad-hoc mode.jpg that we interested in
the " Just to try " ad-hoc mode worked fine with Sensation
it connects fast , very steady connection with full Wifi Signal and a fast WiFi Data transfer , Ad-hoc it is working for both WEP or open network , Please note that some firewalls could prevent you from connecting even after adjusting its settings
Ad-hoc ( open Network ) :
open network connection doesn't require a Password ,
to modify either SSID name or WEP password , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode and modify or clear the name in SSID then just switch back to Just to try mode and enable WiFi
if you clear ( remove ) the default name in SSID , this lets the device find and connect automatically to any open ad-hoc you establish from your laptop for example with any name of your choice ( on condition that your ad-hoc connection should be the only available ad-hoc connection in range ) ,
if you leave the default name in SSID "Android tether " as it is , it will only look for a connection with the name "Android tether " that is issued from your laptop and it will not detect any ad-hoc connection with any other name
if there is more than one open network in range that can be seen by the APK then
tip 1 : name the connction in your laptop same as in device SSID ( i.e android tether )
this is because if there is more than one open ad-hoc network and you left the SSID name empty , you can not control which connection the APK will choose to connect to
tip 2 : or use Ad-hoc ( WEP Network )
Ad-hoc ( WEP Network ) :
if you want to use WEP connection , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode then enter SSID name and Password then switch back to Just to try and enable wifi WEP Password.jpg
the name of the connection should be the same name of the connection you started on your laptop for example
there is a complete help for the APK when you press the thin line under setting
Superuser.APK
if you are using the normal Super user APK opens normal , But if you are using the New SuperSU APK there will be a delay of maybe 5 sec for starting or executing Commands
please read this first #70 , Please note that this APK is not fully compatible with sensation although it worked fine with me
there is another APK ( try it if you like to ) named " WiFi AD HOC enabler " which doesn't really work good ( very weak signal and disconnects frequently ) , or at least this is what i experienced
Connectify Pro
there is a small yet powerful PC Software Called Connectify Pro ( i can't do without it ) that does three things :
it is for windows users
Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )
toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot ( can start the same ad-hoc connection after reboot )
automatically does all complicated configurations for all types of network to fit with your firewall and windows , also share and transfer files among other options
Press the thanks Button for this Post
There is an application similar to connectify, hostapd for ubuntu which I use all the time . But both the application ( connectify and hostapd is hardware depended . If your wifi Card supports infrastructure mode or master mode , then only they will work. ) So this work around will help those users.
Thanks for your post dear..
Nit worked to me with ICS ,
It works!!!

i literally cannot figure this out... the instructions are really vague. "install the patch as usual from recovery" what is usual? you dont say. i backed up the wpa file and just used root explorer to overwrite it and it instantly broke my wifi. i restored the original so it came back fine but i dont know how to install patch from recovery as usual. obviously the APK says i dont have all of the files and must close. please help. running ICS viperrom 1.01

ok, after reading the post for the 10th time i guess im not supposed to apply the patch since im on ICS? well, i restored completely to before i tried to get adhoc working and just installed the APK and it still didnt work. said i didnt have all the files and it must close. the link to the APK in the play store doesnt work because sensation isnt supported and i just had to find it online. Could it maybe be the APK that im using? Does anyone have a working one they could send to me or any ideas to a solution?
It's not work with the latest Sense 4 build (HTC Ville C2 latest RUU (1.11.401.110) Android 4.0.3 ICS). So can you tell me how did you do with the wpa_supplicant file please? I want to modify it myself.
is it only working for HTC OR any GB ROM ?
Thanks
what are the specific steps in applying the patch?
whats needed? and steps?
thanks
Is it just depends on replacing wpa_supplicant file, or something more?
Because author of this apk said that file is vary for various devices, and I'd like to request for Onda V972 V1.
Apk doesn't work.
Can I just replace it without recovery, or is a stock recovery does the same in case of not having other one?
edit.
Here is how to compile proper wpa_supplicant file for your Android version:

Absolutely no problem with Wifi. whether on DDKB2 or XXKB3. May be check your wifi encryption mode.

I use WEP encryption,
64bit encryption strength,
network authentication: open
The most important part, specify your MAC address in Wireless - Mac filter of your modem/ router and select allow.
You can check your MAC address for phone by browsing to Menu> About phone> Status>WI-Fi MAC address.
Restart your modem and scan wifi from phone when you see SSID select it and enter the 64 bit assigned key.
Thats all. All the best.

Trip, do not use WEP encryption in this day and age, one can crack it with widely available tools in mere seconds. I'm using WPA2-PSK with AES encryption (D-Link DIR-655) on my phone (XXKPH firmware) just fine. If there's a problem it might be one or combinations of the following:
. Firmware issue
. Incompatibilities between wireless access point and your phone

What firmware did you flash? I have some problems with the Gingerbread versions of Android. If you flashed XXKPH or JPKP5 try to connect to your router and ping your router ip and some external ip (like google DNS 8.8.8.8). If your router pings well and you have about 70÷80% lost packets while pinging external IP. you have the same problem as mine. To solve it you can:
1. flash Froyo
2. change your WiFi router (I've tested 3 routers and I have problems only with 1)
I am on ddkf1 and have this problem from starting. However it is better than ddkb2.
In my room wifi in sl works at will as it will connect/not connect/disconnect at it's discretion. And my laptop n other nokia phone works without any issue.
Should I update to xxkb3/kph or show it at the service centre.
Please suggest as it's driving me crazy now

By default Android won't see Adhoc Wireless Networks. Change your wpa_supplicant as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610

●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID: <Any_name_you_like>
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works

If you still haven't found anything to indicate that your computer is Wi-Fi enabled, right-click on "Computer" again, select "Manage" and "Device Manager." Then click on the "Hardware" tab. Read the list below "Network Adapters." Note that any adapter labeled "Ethernet" or "10/100" has nothing to do with wireless compatibility. However, any adapter labeled "wireless" or "802.11" indicates compatibility.

I cant afford to buy a router or new wifi modem, plz help with this.
You have the answer in your OP itself. Check this out:
nectify can work in Ad-Hoc mode with just about any Wi-Fi device on Windows 7, Vista, or XP.
However, to run in Access Point mode, you must be running Windows 7, and you must have a Windows 7 certified network device driver for your Wi-Fi device. You have this device driver if you own any Windows 7 logo certified Wi-Fi device (laptop, dongle, card, etc.). However, many older devices have also been updated with Windows 7 certified drivers.

The following are known "abandoned" devices, believed to lack certified Windows 7 drivers from their manufacturers. They could of course be updated at any time.

Wait until & if Intel releases a Win 7 compatible driver for your card.
Check if they have already released an update for your card which you may not have installed.

Instead of replacing your wpa_Supplciant file manually, you can use wifi adhoc enabler app which will take a backup of your wpa_supplicant file and modify it so that our mobile will detect adhoc-wifi.
