Cm9/ics ad-hoc fix

JIUI v4(MIUI v4) & JWP7(Windows Phone 7 MOD): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26890050#post26890050
cm9 does not support ad-hoc because ics doen not provide that facility. But we can create a virtual router and share the wifi from our laptop.
1.Download virtual router(you can google it. version:0.9 beta).
2.Install it in your system.Open it.
3.Now open command promt as administrator and type this
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=android key=TYPE YOUR PASSWORD
press enter.
4.Type netsh wlan start hostednetwork and press enter. Now you hava created a virtual router.
5.Open network and sharing center. it will display your lan network which is connected to internet.
6.Click on Local area connection and select properties. A new window will open.
7.Select sharing from that window. There will be something called Allow network users to connect through this computer's internet. Click on the Checkbox.
8.Select the network. Usually it will be wireless network connection 2. If not select wireless network connection.
9.Hit ok. Now you will be able to share your internet connection via wifi.
ANY BROKEN LINKS!! PLEASE REPORT.

yeah, that's great. but what if i use ubuntu and my wireless card is not supported by hostapd? haven't found a working wpa_supplicant for my ics-sed galaxy s yet, so i'll stick to gb for the time being..

I have DEFY i changed wpa_supplicant but no use same result only and wifi tether does work but no apps support the internet connection recevied through wifi tether. Some one has to change the script, its in the hands of developers. So far what i posted before works. Will try to figure our something and will let you know.

I am not big fan of UBUNTU but found this. Give it a try and say if it works.
In Ubuntu 10.04, it seems extremely easy to have this hostapd work. First, of course, you need to install it. It is already in the official repositories. Just run this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install hostapd
Then, open a text editor program, for example gedit. Copy the following into it.
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=
channel=1
hw_mode=g
auth_algs=1
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Please don’t forget to fill in the name of your network after “ssid=”, as well as the password after “wpa_passphrase=”.
After all these, save the file as hostapd.conf in your home folder.
Now, in your terminal:
sudo hostapd hostapd.conf
Turn the wifi connection on in your devices and enjoy the fast network share!

This works only on windows platform. Tested on Windows 7 ultimate x64.

@ janeindiran
yeah, thanks, already did it. long story short: nl80211 driver does not work, guys @ linuxwireless are working on a functional broadcom4313 driver, which is, by chance, my wireless card. Good news is that they're working on it, so there's still hope.
ps can agree on ubuntu, but i'm a dumbass and it was my first choice to move from windows!

If you find any fix please do post it here. I will try to find a fix for it.

Its not really a fix for your phone, its another way of creating a network. It will work for Windows users.

If anyone has tried, don't forget to mention the review.

Yep. So far this is the only working solution.

don't know if anyone is interested yet, but i've found out that wifi ad hoc support is a bit troublesome in ics. wpa_supplicant does not make the job, as it is also kernel related. starting from 20120506 nightly, cm9 does support ad hoc wifi (at least in galaxy s). of course, custom kernels have to be based on this stock to make the job. Onestly, this is the only way i found to make it work in ics

It's not working on all WINDOWS .

Run the command prompt as Administrator. If you open that application and if you try to create via that application that application it won't work. Open that application minimize it and then use those commands in command prompt. It will work fine. One more thing after hosting Virtual Router, you have to do few configurations in your control panel to share wifi.

[Q] Cannot connect to Wifi Hotspot in Android 2.3.5

I downloaded this program called mhotspot to make my laptop a Wifi Hotspot and shared my dial-up connection with the hotspot.
Now when i connect to the hotspot, it disconnects and halts at "Obtaining IP Address".
To resolve this, i added Static IP address. This fixed the above problem.
Now the wifi gets connected, but when i try browsing in my phone, it does not show up the webpage.
Is there any way to connect my wifi hotspot to the phone?
Phone: HTC Explorer (Pico)
Android: 2.3.5 Gingerbread

However, at the same that website looks REALLY sketchy. Ridiculously poor English and a horrible site layout are both bad signs. On top of that, if you're running Windows or Linux (or probably even Mac) then you can create an ad-hoc network (i.e. WiFi hotspot) without any third-party software. I'd get rid of that mhotspot program as fast as you can.

I created an ad-hoc network, but my phone doesn't detect it at all.

As far as i remember stock Android can't connect to wifi ad-hoc hotspot. Only custom roms like Cyanogenmod can do it You should create an Access Point connection using program called Connectify ( if you use Windows 7).

I think I remember this being a common problem with the stock soft, with CM it works perfectly.
So either you switch or you need to use an app for this...

Have you set up AP like here in attachment? On my phone works perfectly.

No internet

I had the same problem using Mhotspot & trying to connect my Samsung Android phone to it. Mhotspot is a credible & very popular software ranked number 1 by CNET so don't worry. It's lightweight & free. The "obtaining ip adress" problem may occur due to the limitation cause by your firewall. I disabled my default windows firewall. You can simply add an exception for mhotspot in your firewall settings or disable it since windows firewall is useless anyway. That solved the problem for me.

Reverse tethering using laptops wifi and usb question

I have a GT-p3113 7.0 running 4.1.1 stock and rooted. I have been trying to connect to my laptops hotspot using wifi. I can create the connection and connect with an IP, however no shared internet. I used the CMD prompt to create the hostednetwork then share my lan connection.
> netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name of connection" key="password"
Share the connection from setting in the control panel then start it up.
>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
I can connect with an assigned IP but no internet.
So... while I am "connected" I used the USB reverse tether app with the tunnel local app and connect to the internet. and yes I can no connect to Gplay and download from most app sites with no problem because I do have an active wifi connection... just not using it to get to the site..
Can't use https , not sure why yet. or if it is even possible.
But I would like to be able to use my wifi connection if at all possible... does anyone know a way to do this? I do not want to use Conectify as it tells me to unistall my vzaccess ( I can't ) I have a 4g wireless card for my laptop. also tried virtual router, same thing.. connects, gets ip, but no internet. Has anybody been able to get around this? or do you think it is just my work network. I want to use this when I travel an am in a hotel but don't want to carry around another piece of hardware for a hotspot.
Thanks

do you have a desktop or a laptop ..
if desktop then you should try some apps like reverse USB tethering ..which are very simple to use ..
there are too many apps like this which you can find on the play store ..

You can setup an ad hoc wifi network and share the internet connection to connected devices.
You can do it using the Control Panel or using the CMD.
In Windows 8 this functionality ist not available anymore using the GUI.
These commands should work on all windows pc's.
Replace ssid and key with your own if wanted.
Remember to open CMD with admin rights.
To configure adhoc network typ in CMD:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NameForMyNetwork key=MySecurityKey

Click to collapse
To start adhoc network type in CMD:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

To stop adhoc network type in CMD:

Open properties of your network adapter on PC and you'll find an option to share the internet connection of connected devices of the specific adapter.
Connect your Android over wifi to your PC, voila, you should be done if i did not forget something.......
EDIT:
Aaaargh.....just saw it by reading it the thread a second time....you have no wifi.
But anyway, maybe it helps somebody else.

I Dont remember the original thread but here are the contents i got fromthat link a while ago...
@gilagamesh
Step 1: Connect your Android to PC by USB cable and enable "USB tethering". You are still allowed to enable this option even when your 3g/wifi on your Android is off.
- If you are using Linux (Ubuntu), you don't need to install anything. NetworkManager applet will try to establish a connection on the new detected wired network device.
- If you are using Windows, Windows will automatically search Windows Update and install driver for you. You can skip Windows Update search and install manually an already included driver from Microsoft. In Install Driver window, click Browse My Computer, then Let me pick..., select Network Adapters, uncheck Show Compatible Hardware, look at "Microsoft Corporation" at the left column, and choose Remote NDIS Compatible Device from the right column. You can install or update a driver from Device Manager in Windows.
- If you are using Mac, install driver HoRNDIS. You will be notified about a new network interface. Click "Network Preferences" in the dialog to add it to known interfaces list. Then "Apply".
- If you are using Linux without GUI or NetworkManager, run these commands as root (or use sudo):
Code:
ifconfig usb0 10.42.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
(suppose that you don't have any other USB network adapter, otherwise, your Android may be usb1, usb2...)
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Command for sudo will be:
Code:
sudo 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'
Code:
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
Step 2:
- If you are using Linux, click on NetworkManager applet at the top right of your screen, select "Edit Connections...". In tab "Wired", choose the new established connection (be careful, not Ethernet LAN connection) and click "Edit..." In tab "IPv4 Settings", choose "Shared to other computers" as Method. Click "Save". NetworkManager will reestablish the connection and assign to your PC an IP address on this USB network connection, default: 10.42.0.1. Leave Internet connections (wired or wireless) untouched.
- If you are using Windows, open "Network Connections" in Control Panel. It is somewhat different from setup in Linux. Right click on an Internet connection that you have. I assume that you are using a desktop which doesn't have any wifi adapter, so right click on LAN Ethernet connection with Internet, and select "Properties". In tab "Sharing" (or "Advanced" for Windows XP), click "Allow other network users to connect through...", then select the USB connection in dropdown list below. Click OK. Windows will automatically setup your USB network connection and assign to it an IP address, default for Windows 7: 192.168.137.1, default for Windows XP: 192.168.0.1. You can see your Internet connection is now "Shared" and your USB connection is now "Unidentified network".
- If you are using Mac, open System Preferences - Network. If you installed HoRNDIS, you will see a new network interface corresponding to your USB connection. With "Using DHCP" as Configure Ipv4, it may be already connected. Go back to System Preferences, click "Sharing". Select "Internet Sharing". Choose the Internet connection (Ethernet or Airport...) in "Share your connection from", and choose USB connection interface in "To computers using". Mac will assign to your USB connection interface an IP address, default: 192.168.2.1.
- If you are using Linux without GUI or NetworkManager, you have done all PC setup in step 1.
Your PC setup is now done!
Step 3:
Open Terminal Emulator on your Android. Type:
Code:
su
The command prompt must change from $ to #. If it does not, check to ensure that your device is rooted properly.
[UPDATED]Type the following command in Terminal Emulator, the same for all PC operating systems:
Code:
netcfg rndis0 dhcp
The name for usb interface inside Android may vary. It is usually rndis0 or usb0. Type
Code:
busybox ifconfig
to identify the name.
Use OLD instructions below when automatical dhcp method does not work.
[OLD]Type these following commands in Terminal Emulator:
For Linux PC:
Code:
ifconfig rndis0 10.42.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 10.42.0.1 dev rndis0
If route fails, try:
Code:
busybox route add default gw 10.42.0.1 dev rndis0
For Windows PC, use the same above commands, replace 10.42.0.2 by 192.168.137.2 (192.168.0.2 for Windows XP), replace 10.42.0.1 by 192.168.137.1 (192.168.0.1 for Windows XP)
For Mac PC, replace 10.42.0.2 by 192.168.2.2, replace 10.42.0.1 by 192.168.2.1
Now you can close Terminal Emulator and start the browser for Internet.
Some applications (download in Google Play, GMail, Facebook...) don't recognize Internet connection. You can try this way (WARNING: NOT TESTED):
- Enable temporarily 3G connection on your Android
- Type:
Code:
ifconfig rmnet0 0.0.0.0
The name for 3G interface inside Android may vary: ppp0, rmnet0... Type
Code:
busybox ifconfig
to identify the name.
before ifconfig rmnet0 ... above.
This will make applications see your Internet connection via USB as 3G!
And it works !!!

Go to network settings in Windows, find the option to create a new network, then choose to create an ad-hoc network, configure its settings the way you want, click ok. Then see if it is broadcasting a Wifi signal.
