Rogers Captivate-2.2 updated and found an interesting apk

I was just going through the /system/app directory and found this rather interesting .apk in there, "TetheringManagerRogers1126.apk". Anyone have any idea what Rogers is doing with this? Do you think this is what is causing people with non-tethering enabled accounts (under 1 gig of data) to not be able to use the Mobile AP feature? Would removing it bypass the restriction? Hoping someone with more Android knowledge can shed some light on it.

Does rooting not allow tethering in the Rogers 2.2?

Regarding your first reply, that has now disappeared:
"Root and tether to your hearts content."
I am rooted, how do you think I was looking through the /system/app directory structure.
Regarding your edited reply, rooting does not disable your ability to tether.
The point of my post was more towards the people that now cannot tether after upgrading to 2.2, there are numerous complaints about it. Mostly from Fido users by the looks of it. The option is disabled for them, if they try to enable Mobile AP it says something about contacting Rogers. I was thinking that possibly this file is the reason, and if they were to remove it, maybe they could enable Mobile AP again.

Tethering does not work for me, when it used on iOS. I never tried on Android 2.1, as I used mobile AP a few times instead. Maybe I just need to set it up again with Rogers since I just renewed my contact...
Mobile AP still works, but just one device at a time it seems? Not sure if thats a limitation or a problem. Now to get VPN to work...

How do I delete the file??
I tried Astro Browser and I also tried FTP server, but it would let me delete it.

Its a lame attempt at controlling tethering... just remove it and everything will work as usual.
att does the same thing.

thanks a lot for the trick. I was thinking of roll back to 2.1 to this back. you save me hours of time. great post~

Yes.
The message you have entered is too short.

I just found this thread while trying to fix a problem of Mobile AP/USB tethering disconnecting me after about 5 minutes of use. The reason I mention this is that my account should have not have had any tethering restrictions as I'm on the 6gb data plan. Mobile AP worked fine under 2.1, but as mentioned, after about 5 minutes of use on 2.2, both Mobile AP, and tethering would just shut off. I was able to tether fine using Kies though. Removed this file, and now have been connected for over an hour on Mobile AP Thanks!

Lol just use TiBu to get rid of "Tethering Manager"in the apps list.
@OP: yes, it does what you thought. But you already found that out.

Alternatively,
1. Root your phone
2. Download "Root Explorer"
3. Rename or Delete the file
4. Reset your phone

Step By Step Unroot Instructions?

Kindly excuse this thread if it is located elsewhere, but can anyone point me in the direction of a step-by-step guide to unrooting my Infuse? I'd like to unroot, as I'm having difficulty connecting to AT&T servers since I rooted.
Thanks

root has nothing to do with it. or usually doesn't, people have successfully updates with root on this and the captivate. the att bloatware on the otherhand might! freeze those things so they can be unfrozen, dont uninstall them unless you want to always use xda to find .zip or odin versions. also changing the launcher could have bearing on if the update is successful, samsung likes to push tw on you in whatever ways they can.

Thank you for the info. I still would like to unroot.
Does anyone else have info on how to unroot step-by-step?

just so that you know. with super one click. just hit unroot.

yeah use super oneclick. but it might not work if the su binaries are in a different folder. if that's the case you might need to use adb or root explorer to remove the su file. then adb with rageagainstthecage to remove the superuser app from /system/app. though if you are using adb yoy may be able to remove that app first then the su binary just fine, i never acctually tried it.

wifi calling for HTC Sensation on Rogers network

this is for Rogers users who have wifi calling in their plan.
How to get wifi calling working on htc sensation.
You need lib files from Rogers EVO, I found them in KingCobra3Dv1.6 ROM
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131):
libganril.so
libhtc_ril.so
libhtc_ril_switch.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
Copy them to /system/lib
then you will also need apk for rogers wifi calling from kineto. I've found one on this forum (googled it):
MS-HTC-SHT-GB-2.3-48407-06.1.apk
This file is from Rogers EVO uploaded here by nice user(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216683&page=2). You will need to put it in
/system/app
Last step is to add to your build.prop this line:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
restart, enjoy!
Hey folks,
does anyone have Android 4 (ICS) ROM for EVO 3D with Rogers?
Im looking for lib file from this ROM ----> libhtc_ril.so

I have done some research on how to root my sgs2. Once I do that today I will try and install the fix you have suggested. The lib files can be found in the file tree of the mod you suggested? I can just browse its folders, correct? No need to actually install it on my sgs2? Thanks for your help.
How is the workaround working for you? Are you getting uma without issues? Does it drain battery like alot of evo users have been reporting?

Ive followed everything you described step by step. It doesn't work. I see the icon when i click on it, it launches but exits from the app two seconds afterward. No error..
In the app it says wifi calling "enabling..." with the checkbox being checked of. I can click on other menu options and it doesn't close the app.
I can also assure you that I have wi-fi calling access on my account.

Yes, the libs are in lib directory, all I did is just copy them to lib on my phone. You may want to extract the zip on pc.
As for battery, it is in fact better since it turns off radio once it connects to WiFi.
There is no issues so far and voice quality is pretty good considering my moderate internet speed of 1.3M

Well. First question; after reboot did you get a window pop up saying something like " did you know that your phone can make WiFi calling" ?
This indicates that the libs are working, apk itself won't work. Also is the icon red, kind of Rogers like? If its not then you have T-Mobile apk which again doesn't work.
If it works , you actually don't open the app, it will turn on automatically when signal is too low. There is no force mode to use WiFi instead of GSM.
You can in fact open it with winrar or any zip software and search for rogers string, to make sure.
Also its good to check if the prop.build file has the line I've mentioned. I had my system dir in read-only mode and it was not saved.
I put the line at the end but I doubt it matters.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure that is all you need.
Oh, yeah, Im sure u have the feature but if you have a chance to test it in any blackberry, give it try. I checked mine before.

I wanted to follow up. I did everything that was described and had the app on the phone but still couldn't make calls. I added the one line in the build.Prop file. In theory I did all that was required then I noticed my imei was gone. It took me 2 hours to get my phone back to original state. Clockworkrecovery mod saved me and I ended up restoring my phone. I would still like to get this thing to work as I am going nuts without signal coverage.
I come from the world of blackberry and I know uma worked.
I wish there was an easier way for this to get going. I am a persistent noob when it comes to android, so I know I will get this working. I appreciate your help in this manner.
Rogers should release an app on the market allowing all android and iphones to have this, it would only benefit everyone involved. As a rogers employee I will continue to lobby for this to happen.
I will need to revisit this once my exams are done. I will do more research on this as well.
PS. I did not get the pop up when I booted my phone. There was an htc file in there. Does it matter that I have an sgs2?

The libs are from rom for sensation, I'm not sure if they work for Samsung. In fact I think not. But the apk should be fine. It's made providers. See if you can find similar lib files from sgs2 ROM

My suggestion is do not us TB to restore your apps. Only data. It gets finicky when trying to install apps from different ROMs. Whenever possible do fresh installs of your apps. I attached the .apk for you to try.
Copy the WiFi-Calling.apk to your sd card. You can use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your WiFi-Calling.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the WiFi-Calling.apk in the folder.

Ok..let me try that. Thanks for the info

So you deleted the .apk you tried to back up through TB? I assume you have a SGS 4G along with your A100? And you followed the procedure that was laid out for you?
OH and... hit thanks and I'll keep trying to help you
Just kidding...
There is a chance there is another .apk that needs to go along with the .apk I attached above. I'll take a look or maybe somebody else will read and advise.
Or you may need to reflash... before doing so, unzip the ROM, add the .apk in the appropriate folder, then zip ROM back up, then reflash.

Raver took the libs out. So until the next update just flash back to something else if you really need wifi calling.

Nevermind.

lumin30 said:
Ok... Raver appears to not have taken out the libs. The problem you are having, from what I see, is Raver modified the build.prop.
It appears that the following needs to be added back:
1)Go to /system/build.prop and open using Super Manager or some similar file manager with ROOT permissions.
2) Go to the very BOTTOM of the prop, and add this:
## start GAN-Lite ##
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
rilswitch.vendorlibpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so
rilswitch.ganlibpath=/system/lib/libganril.so
## end GAN-Lite ##
3) In Super Manager hit menu then Save
4) Reoot into recovery and wipe cache & Dalvik Cache just to be safe
5) Reboot and let phone sit 10 mins to rebuild cache
Maybe Raver or somebody else can confirm this fix.

Scratch that... I read the valhilla thread and Raver said "the sim card service for wi fi calling also was removed." So as far as I know if you flash the previous version... rc3.1 it has it in there. That is what I am on and I have it.
He also said in the thread he plans to add it back in the next update.

yeah sorry guys I should have made it clear where I got that from.

[GUIDE] HOW TO Enable Wi-Fi Tether on stock Kit Kat 4.4.2

I took the update because I boot looped my phone trying to upgrade to a rooted stock version of Kit Kat.
After going to stock I lost root and of course custom recovery. As many have noticed, there is no viable tether app that works with Kit Kat on this device. In doing a search it appears that this is the case with many devices that have gotten Kit Kat.
So I did a search and through several different threads I believe I have found the workaround.
I am new to doing "How-To's" so please forgive me if this is not as professional as others. I am not a developer but have some knowledge of working with various facets of Android. So, here goes:
1. Go to settings--> Tethering and networks ---> Mobile networks --> Access point names
2. Under Access point names, you should have T-Mobile LTE
3. Click menu ---> New APN
4. Name --> Whatever you want
5. APN ---> should say "Not Set" change to "Fast.T-Mobile.com"
6. APN Type--> type "default,supl,mms,dun"
7. APN Protocol --> Be sure it says "IPv4"
8. Menu--> Click save
9. Change APN to the newly created Access Point
10. Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
11. Download the PC app (if needed)
12. (Optional) Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi.key
Follow instructions on setting up FoxFi which I will not cover here.
I am using this now to type this thread. It is a little buggy but I think that is FoxFi not necessarily this method of tether. I have to at times disable/re-enable the PC app if I lose connection.
I hope this helps folks out there.

What is the problem with the mobile hotspot that comes with stock kitkat? D801 tmo.

Nothing wrong, works perfectly fine. This is an alternative means through a different app providing a means to tether without utilizing a set amount of data provided by carrier.

Yes, speeds are comparable. Only issue, and I believe this is with PDANet/FoxFi is you at times have to reset the connection on the computer. I am running Windows 7 BTW

Wait, is it not easier way to do this:
(if you have root)
1. download SQlite editor app from G.Play (pay for it few bucks)
2. search for com.android.providers.settings and open it
3. open "settings.db" then "global" and under "tether_dun_required" change 1 to 0,
save and turn on tethering without any limits.... Just after reboot you need to set 1 to 0 again to make it work...
I saw it somewhere around and that worked for me!
(Didn't have to change or create new APN.
(This is possible solution for NON-T-mobile users of D801 model, because I'm one..)

That is if you have root. As stated in the OP this is a workaround for those that have lost root via 4.4.2.

This solution IS for system tethering.
If you have rooted device, system tethering works like a charm with this.
Also, this works even if you are not T-mobile user, meaning, you SIM unlock device and you can tether with any SIM on any network in the world...
I guess those guys who updated OTA to 4.4.2 will have to wait root for D801. I saw there is a way to flash KitKat in recovery and immediately superuser.zip after that...
I'll personally go for that way.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried using my tablet connected to foxfi hotspot and got the usual T-Mobile error notice that hotspot isn't enabled when I opened the browser.

You can also setup a vpn to connect to and it won't redirect you to the upsell page if you get that issue

If this works, you have fixed the only issue that would desire me to install a custom rom
Edit: seems to be working so far, spent half an hour on the tablet and the tmobile app shows no increase in the hotspot data usage

Ok. Let me try and clarify. The step by step in the OP can be used on any ROM but is specifically useful for those like me that took the update to 4.4.2 and lost root.
When using FoxFi app it is recommended that you use USB tether mode. Also you need to hide your activity but I'm not going to cover that. I Will leave that to others.

Then one thing is left to be clarified:
Do I need to use that T-mobile APN? Because that won't work for me or every other user that haven't T-mobile SIM card, obviously...
So, do you think that is safe to assume that method from OP will work for me if I use my regular APN?

I can't speak to other carriers directly. But, the simplest way to tell; if you use the app and it does not "trip" your carrier hotspot app then you should be good.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

Neither of these methods worked for me. FoxFi kept telling me that I didn't have an internet connection and editing my com.android.providers.settings database kept reverting to "1" after a reboot. After the latter method, I temporarily lost the functionality of my home button and root went away. I thought I was going to have to flash back to 4.2.2 for second. Thankfully after a few reboots and a restored file all was good.
Edit: OK, I finally got FoxFi working. I guess I didn't read the directions completely. But this didn't stop my tethering data usage from going up.

Make sure you have the settings in FoxFi set to hide internet usage. If you need my settings for that, let me know.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

I have actually tried both methods and get them to work.
Now, I'm on 4.4.2 stock, I didn't took the OTA update - instead I've flashed that 1.4GB KK update trough TWRP, and then superuser.zip. It wasn't easy, especially because I didn't have TWRP installed at all and OTA was downloaded (kinda without my permission, in background, and then I got that notification....)
So, now, I'm on KK stock, rooted, but I'm not sure if I got recovery... and guess what, I don't care...
Both tethering methods work for me, bud since is easier I use system tether.
What I'm trying to say is: Don't take OTA guys if you have root, flash trough recovery your KK and you will keep root, you can tether, you keep your data and apps... It isn't the easiest way but it is the one with most satisfying result..

On your desktop, click on the PDANet icon in the task tray. Click settings, Hide Tether usage, Level 1
That's it. Should work. Again, you may have to disconnect/reconnect from time to time via the tray icon.

Neither of these methods worked for me. FoxFi kept telling me that I didn't have an internet connection and editing my com.android.providers.settings database kept reverting to "1" after a reboot. After the latter method, I temporarily lost the functionality of my home button and root went away. I thought I was going to have to flash back to 4.2.2 for second. Thankfully after a few reboots and a restored file all was good.
Edit: OK, I finally got FoxFi working. I guess I didn't read the directions completely. But this didn't stop my tethering data usage from going up.

It was stated that this will revert after a restart.... Simple either don't restart or adjust the value after you restart

So just to verify. For rooted folks the sqlite method works? I can't get my connected device to access the net but I am also in a T-Mobile black hole for the next two weeks with only edge when I am lucky
