Root access but no wifi tethering - General Questions and Answers

Hi i've got root access but whenever i open up a tethering app it keeps saying sorry but your kernel does not have the necessary features for running this application.

If Im not mistaking, I thought I read somewhere that some ROMs dont support tethering..

Cross posting is not receommended here or any other forum.

Bluetooth File Transfer in Donut says it doesn't have root access!

In Myn's Warm Donut I'm trying to receive files via BT with this application, but at the very start, it states that it doesn't have root access, so my device cannot receive incoming files.*
How could it be that? my Polaris has always been rooted by definition. Is there a way to give an application root access?
I have ask myn with the same problem you have.....

Great question.
I have a feeling bluex is using nat/iptables which our kernel doesn't support completely yet. This is the same reason why USB and Wifi Tether apps don't work either.

It's a pity, but I think we'll have to stay until they develop a compatible kernel
Thanks for the information!

[Q] Running an app with root permission

Hi guys,
Let's me know if I post the question in the wrong forum.
I am developing an app that requires root permission. The only solution I found on the Internet is:
Code:
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su")
However, this solutions only gives root permission to generated process, not to the app itself. I just wonder if anyone can tell me what I should do in this case.
Btw, I am already running a rooted ROM using CM7.

Triying to use the TOR network. Orbot app

Hi all!
I'm trying to connect to the tor network with my SGR.
I was reading something about this in xda, but for the SGR didn´t find anything.
In the orbot official page, ( https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en ) sais that with this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android ) we can get access to the tor network.
We need a rooted phone, and a rom (in the page names the CyanogenMod rom ) that supports iptables.
Well, now I'm running the lastest version of Adam's CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and the app works (it says that I get connection to the tor network) But the router to this network fails. I can't use any internet connection.
I try to find something in other XDA forums (in SII forum there is something... but I didn't find my error, and nothing about it) but I only find that in Jelly roms, is needed a fix for work. I try it, but not working....
My question is. Is there anyone using this app? And if someone knows about it... please can help me?
Thanks to everybody!!
(sorry for my english...)
I used Orbot on GB and it worked like a charm. Just like SSHTunnel did. Since ICS, SSHTunnel is broken (I was sad to see this and had to find out how MAC address changing works. ), even in CM. Maybe this issue is related to that.
Thanks Adam for your answer.
With Orbot App I can use whatsapp and the Orweb browser only. But all other apps can't use the tor network.
Probably Adam you're right about the ICS problem with tunneling is rellated with this problema
Thanks!!!

[Q] WiFi Direct Issues [Resurection Remix 4.4.2 ROM]

Hi! This is my first post, so forgive me if I'm not following proper etiquette. I would post this in the specific thread regarding this ROM, but I'm not able to post there yet.
I flashed xenon92's Resurrection Remix ROM, the latest version (Resurrection_Remix_KK_v5.0.8-20140411-s2vep.zip), which I found here
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627413
. Before I flashed it I was running stock Touchwiz (4.2.2).
In the week I've been using it, I have had no issues, except one which I have found no solutions for... I can not use Wifi-Direct as I used to use it when I was on stock ROM. It does not show up in any "Share With" context menus. I can connect to other WiFi-Direct capable phones, but when I try to send files from them, no notification appears on my phone asking me to accept these files, or showing that they are being sent to me.
Is there anything that could be done for me to regain WiFi-Direct capabilities? I have very limited data, and tend to share large files between my friends and I, which Bluetooth is no good for.
Thanks for any help. If there is any sort of way for me to show my issue in a log file or something, please let me know how to do so

WiFi-Direct should be working fine. It is a technology that can be utilized by apps to transfer data.

Use an app called "Superbeam". It utilizes the WiFi-Direct technology to transfer files.

How to use Samsung A21S as VPN hotspot router for my computer's internet access?

I'm trying to use a new Samsung A21S as a VPN router. I need the phone to receive a Wifi signal and then route it through a VPN before allowing my work computer to receive the signal via hotspot as if it were from a different country.
I believe some combination of root and VPN will help me do this.
Magisk doesn't have an official A21s TWRP download (in fact the post with links supposedly to files for the A21s is from a deleted user, and others remark that it did not work).
Is Magiskapp.com a reliable or officially related site? Want to avoid problems.
you can try this apk PdaNet
also you can use the option in [settings:hotspots] to share VPN on your hotspot

To be clear, I'm not using a SIM card... the A21S just receives Wifi
