Wifi Tethering on 2.1/Eclair with zKernel - 2.6.29 - Android to Android Tethering

What up everyone!
As we all know, Zdzihu has released zKernel that is capable of many things, one of which include full netfilter support (droid wall & wifi tether). I know that many of have used barnacle wifi but one of the issues I had with it was that it sets up an ad hoc network to allow wifi tethering. The problem with android is that, for whatever reason, it can not connect to ad hoc networks. As such those of us with android tablets or other android phones could not tether using our X10s.
Now fast forward to today. The zKernel (probably other ones by Goro kun too) has full netfilter support but how can we use it? Well, rather simple. Download this handy dandy app from this here link:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I downloaded the latest evo 4g version for eclair and wifi tethering works! Now I've got my X10s tethered with each other. No more ad hoc support via barnacle wifi for me!
Note: Remember to install zKernel first! Also, I had issues with connecting to a secure network via this app. However, there is an option to enable access controls that allows you to authorize connections.
Thanks to all the developers for making this possible!
Installation Instructions:
1. Download & Install Z's zKernel via Xrecovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475
2. Download apk in the link in the middle of the page.
be more specific about the kernel, as far as i know the best way to tether is whit bernacle thats on our x10,, and for the use of os tether i read on zdzihu page that is kernel related...
Huh?

Not trying to start a fight but how more specific do you want me to be? Please read my post carefully as I do mention Z's zKernel not only in the name of the thread but in the OP multiple times too. I will bold them for your entertainment as well as provide a useful link to Z's thread. To my knowledge there is only one zKernel that was released as of today's date of 6/22/2011. Please let me know if you know of any others. Additionally, I do mention the use of barnacle wifi in the second sentence above and the problem associated with it. But what if you have another android device? How do you tether it using barnacle wifi?
Thanks for your concerns but please read a bit more carefully as this does relate to a kernel.
can u upload the app u are use? please, because i download more than one but without sucess, only get ad-hoc mode =/

Yes, me too! Only ad-hoc mode!
Still, it's better than Barnacle though, more stable!
Hey all. Looks like I made a mistake. In my haste and excitement I automatically thought the app was not running an ad-hoc mode because I was able to tether my other X10 (with no sim/service) to my X10 that had service/sim. After reading the FAQ of the android-wifi-tether app, I found that it does indeed connect via ad-hoc mode.
The FAQ can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
My understanding was that Android devices could not connect to ad-hoc mode so I wonder why this app is different from Barnacle. I tried connecting via Barnacle to test if it would work but to no avail.

Xoom MZ604 with Jelly Bean - no Ad-Hoc access

Hello,
I have been updating my Xoom MZ604 with the information from XDA for a while. My last update was to Jelly Bean using the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796335
Update was flawless and in a couple of minutes I was running again my Xoom.
Now I discovered Ad-Hoc is not working as previous ICS version....
I tried to use the same "wpa_supplicant" change as previous ICS and HC solutions and the Wi-Fi stooped working... So it seems not a potential solution. :crying:
After my unsuccessfull wpa adventure, I returned it to the original JB file without ad-hoc support.
Does anyone have a solution for it??? If not I am going back to ICS...
Regards to all
Easiest solution: get a device that broadcasts in infrastructure.

Maybe easiest but not cheapest one.... :cyclops:
Currently I use my Motorola Milestone 3 (Droid 3) as router when I am not home...
Android HC with the wpa_supplicant modification was able to work in this combination.... Android JB not :crying:

There are a few different apps, some that will require root access, that should be able to broadcast in infrastructure mode. AOSP roms usually do as well though I don't know what development is like for the Droid 3 given the locked bootloader.
Tethering using bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi.

I got your recommendation and after some additional searching in google I got to an application that uses the bluetooth for sharing the internet connection without needing to root my phone (company phone).
So I installed FoxFi in the phone (from Google Play Store) for free and in the tabled the PadNet Tablet application (also for free at Google Play Store).
I just enabled the bluetooth solution at FoxWi in the phone and then started the PadNet in the Xoom.
It paired and made a VPN connection over bluetooth.
Now internet is working again in my Xoom using my Motorola Milestone 3 (Droid 3) as router.
It is not as simple as before using Wi-Fi router solution (standard application in the Milestone 3) and Xoom running HC with modified wpa_supplicant file but at least I have my internet connection!!!

[Q] SGH-1497 enable screen mirroring

The wifi only model of this tablet running 4.1.2 has screen mirroring capability. However AT&T in their "infinite wisdom" decided to leave it out. I am looking for hopefully just a quick and dirty hack to enable it. Here are possible solutions in order of what I would like. I will accept any answer that get the feature, but I would like to not have to put some completely different custom ROM on it as it is for my dad and he is used to the interface as is. Thanks all for reading.
1. The stuff is all there and they just disabled it (maybe just edit a file after rooting the device)
2. They left out some files to offer screen mirroring (just copy some files over after rooting device)
3. Putting a custom ROM on (as long as I can get play store and all other normal functions)
I was thinking, does anyone have the stock firmware for the wifi only version of this? I was going to get that and get the firmware for this AT&T one and see what files the wifi version has that the AT&T one is missing. I tried searching online but it is old and all the links I find aren't there. The only model I can find is the 5113 which seems like a foreign version because all of the firmwares are from some other bloody country. I need the US version since the 1497 has the US version. Please help

Polarodi PMID705GTVGO GPS not working

Hello everyone, I have a polaroid PMID705GTVGO 7" tablet (Jet 705), it says it has GPS but I cant seem to get fix.
I have two identical tablets bought on Mexico and in both tablets I can't get gps fix. The oficial web page doesn't list GPS as a feature, but the official manual does and I see the options on it's OS (stock Android 4.2.2 non-rooted)
Any ideas on what's going on would be appreciated
