Want to have mobile hotspot but upgraded your S4 to MK2? Wifi Tether Router works with MK2 after doing the proper configuration as advised on the website the dev provides in the app description. Support the developer (Fabio Grasso) and buy the $1.50 app. It works great.
App does require Root. (Btw im on rooted stock MK2)

I have put together the HotSpot mods for MK2. I copied what crawrj had done and applied it to the MK2 update.
I pm'd crawrj a few days ago about posting up this mod in another thread, but haven't heard back. It's a busy time of year for many people, hopefully he's just spending time with family.
I know a lot of you are waiting for this, so I'm going to go ahead and post my links.
Just flash them from recovery like any other zip.
Download links:
HotSpotMod MK2 ODEXED
HotSpotMod MK2 DEODEXED
I flashed both of these fine (I am currently deodex, but installed stock odexed rom to try that version), let me know if you have any problems.
@crawrj - Let me know if you have any issues with me posting these in your thread.

Is there a way to tether wit N5 on sprint? I haven't been able to find anything about it in the forums thanks
I'm pretty sure it works right off the bat. And if not, root and install any custom rom and it will tether.

I would prefer not to install custom ROM however I am rooted though I have not had any luck.

even though its for t-mobile users it worked for many sprint users.

Sup guys,
Just rooted my GS3 via Towelroot. I've been searching the forums for any info at all and came up short. Does anyone know of a good tethering app and more importantly the correct settings so I can start tethering. Thanks in advance.

Yes wifi tether router app, it's working with 4.3 and 4.4 kitkat.
Xposed x tether module will make the stock WiFi tether app work and not check for permission of having the paid plan. I'm using it with no problems

So if I install the Xposed Installer and the X Tether Module on my rooted 4.4.2 VZW SGS3, the stock tether app will work even if I haven't subscribed to VZW's Mobile Hotspot?
Correct! I just did had my tablet tethered that way for 2 hours going to the beach and back last weekend worked great!

I just did this yesterday. It took 5 app installations and about ten minutes of time.
Install and run towelroot
Install and run SuperSU
Restart Phone
Install and run Root Checker Basic
Install Xposed Installer (Xposed Framework)
Install Xposed X tether then run Xposed Installer
Xposed X tether and Framework trick Verizon Software into thinking you are subscribed.
Restart and enjoy. :good:
This apk works for me very well, and I don't even pay for WiFi hotspot.

Hi guys,
Iam trying to get the screen mirroring enabled on myAXX but it turns out that the Mirror Enabler app only works on KitKat. I am not willing to give up my root access since alot of my daily apps use it. What options do i have?
PS: I have disabled the apps on the droid that are used for OTA updates.
Thanks for reading.
Regards.

I think as far as full display mirroring goes, you're outta luck.
A lot of third party apps can mirror content (photos, videos, audio, etc) to a Chromecast on any +4.0 device.
Also, you are aware that there is a root method for 4.4 right? (not the latest ota, and still not compatible with the mirroring)
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
That worked on my rooted max, should work on yours. I'm on 4.4.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader. I would imagine it works on all as long as you have root.
If not mistaken due to build prop data being changed with out WP being disabled you lose it working after reboot.
I can confirm full mirroring with audio does work with 4.4.4.
I too am unlocked and rooted.

True, if write protection is not disabled it would need to be ran again after reboot. But honestly, how often do people reboot their phones? Personally the only time I reboot mine is when installing an xposed module or something like that which requires reboot.
Thanks for the reply. I was sort of expecting that ..
With regards to the knowledge of a 4.4 update that retains root, no I wasn't aware of that. I've had a look in the forum and there doesn't seem to be any pros or cons related to this update so i'll be sticking with what i have working. Besides, nowhere does it say how to update to 4.4 while keeping root.

Thanks but my 4.2.2 version is what holding me back from using that method as it requires KitKat.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
i think you cant do this because it needs some apis from kitkat

You can update to 4.4 19.5.3 and still retain full root and Wp off. That will put you in the same spot you are in now but with working cast. I made a guide for this wayy back when here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616104
Use that to a T and youll be fine.
Thanks for the info but didn't the 4.4 build have the potential to brick your phone? I vaguely recall moto pulling an update from ota, can't remember if it was 4.4 though. Furthermore, are there any issues with this build, reboots, poor battery, screen issues and the likes.
EDIT: Link about the 4.4 fiasco: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Moto...4.4-for-the-DROID-MAXX-ULTRA-and-Mini_id51357
Greatly appreciate your help!

I have applied that patch several times with no brick.
Thanks for confirming. I've followed the guide (excellent guide btw) and successfully upgraded to 4.4 with root.
Installed MirrorEnabler v4, though without success
FYI for anyone reading this.

That is odd. Which 4.4 build are you on? If 19.5.3 try it with 19.6.3. I don't use the app myself so I'm just guessing.
I do know with root on 4.4.4 it does work. Even though I am unlocked as long as you only do a soft reboot it should work. Not sure but it may need to have the update Chromecast app installed as well that has the cast screen option in the settings. Mirror app prior to v4 required sqlite root since it changes a value in the build prop if I remember right.
But I maybe of on that part been a bit since I did mine back on version 2 I think it was. Any how I do know the droid ultra and x line it does work.
If you still have issues I suggest you head you over to that thread for better detailed help it very active since the day it started those guys there are way more knowledgeable then I on that topic

I'm on 19.5.3. Will share some logs and tests with the MirrorEnabler author and wait for a reply.

I tried all versions with no success
Just confirmed latest version of Chromecast app in the store and noticed an updated "What's new" section saying that mirroring works from KitKat 4.4.2 MR1.
If I get the unlock code and successfully unlock my boot loader would I then be able to get 4.4.2 on my MAXX with root?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
No 4.4.2 software for max unless it's a ROM. Latest is 4.4.4.
CC software for the phone is 1.7.4 to mirror. Had to get a down load from the other thread or in that section. Should be able to get it to mirror I would think before updating to 4.4.4.
To keep full root with w/p off you need to be unlocked and replace the recovery with a custom one if you goto to 4.4.4 at this time.

Still digging
Chromecast uses WebRTC to stream content using VP8 and H.264 video compression. Can't find any documentation with reference to VP8 encoding being supported by the MSM8960DT, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is the same as the SoC found in the 2013 Nexus 7 (has official screen mirroring support).
One you unlock (correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood you are trying to get unlock code), you can OTA up to 4.4.4 or even install it via TWRP as I did and still have root. Enabler works on mine, 4.4.4 unlocked/rooted/wp off.

Thanks. Do you happen to remember if you updated from 19.5.3 directly to 4.4.4, and was it using stock recovery?

Hi just flashed MM to my Tab 2 but even though I love the speed of it Sky Q app will not work on it as it wont run on rooted devices even on a device which has root but root is disabled.
So, looking for a rom that is better than the stock but does not have any root stuff on it that sky q is detecting, (apparently a common problem with this app)
Any help would be appreciated as want a newer rom but need sky q to work but so many varietys of roms around don't know where to start.
Thanks
Have you tired using supersu's unroot option to see if it can remove what that sky app is looking for?

Yeah, if you don't have SuperSu, get it off the Playstore. Open the app, tap settings and you will get an option which says Enable SuperUser. Turn that off and root is gone until you turn it back on
I think all custom roms come rooted. See if unrooting will fix it.
omni and aosp comes unrooted
