On the ICS leak, it still has the entitlement check for hotspot feature
Normally, you would freeze or delete the tethering manager apk in titanium, or use MYSQLite app to disable the entitlement check in the settings apk...but neither of those things are present in the ICS leak
Anybody know how to do this?
You got me excited for a moment. It looked like a how to guide.

lol, yes it sort of does. Sorry.
This should be easy, probably just a change in the filename for the manager apk
I tried freezing the wifi sharing manager and the TetheringProvision, but it either crashed the settings apk or didnt have an effect.
Foxfi?

I got the hotspot working by installing the 14 Toggle Quick Panel mod and then enabling/disabling using the Wifi Hotspot toggle. Flashed the zip here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=82 in CWM.

There is still an apk present in the /system/app folder called tetheringmanager.apk, saw it when I was deodexing, maybe it just has a new name.
Nevermind, freezing it doesn't help the situation.

Hrm, strange....usually titanium picks up on this kind of thing.
I'm going to try the 14 panel someone suggested.
It seems to me that where before it used tetheringmanager.apk to check for the lack of provision if it was NOT available, something in the framework is now saying its not available unless tethering manager says so.

mobile hotspot worked for me
In the UltraCfg app i tried setting it to Tethering Always ON. It asked for a restart for the change to take effect, but it locked up my phone. After pulling the battery and starting up the phone i tried to turn on the mobile hotspot. While it was trying to verify the tethering plan the blue hot spot symbol came on, so i just hit cancel. I was able to connect a device with no problems. USB tethering worked the same way, just cancel when it tried to do its verification. I'm currently tethering right now.

No need to hit cancel. Just hit home. This absolutely works. I got wifi tethering for root users working too, but I like working with stock features.
Follow this guide, bottom of page 3. Even though UltraCfg already appears to have set tethering always on, you need to set it again. Reboot.

@kasper_h Hi, I installed your carbon rom on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 p7500. It works better than what I had before (CM) as there's less lag and some nice features but I can't seem to find a toggle for signal or data to turn on and off mobile data. Could you help me? Thanks very much! Currently all I can find is a 2G toggle to turn 2G off (which seems to default to 3G) or to force 2G on. I want to be able to turn off mobile data completely for when I'm at home or overseas and use wifi.

HY,there are several ways.Some roms offer you the option by long pressing the power button which gaves you a menu including mobile data toggle.If this doesnt work for your rom go to settings ,more and APN which means acess points names and select the option that suits your data plan.The easier way is to go to play store and download a app like beautifull widgets that will help you toggle on mobile data(to make sure this works you need to make sure that apn is set as it should,if you are not sure just call your provider and ask them)PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED!!!!

I'm gonna thank you anyway. Some good ideas but Carbon power menu doesn't seem to have the option. I didn't want to have to install another widget or app just for this so I'll see if I can wait, maybe they'll fix it in an update. I know other carbon users I talked to at the irc channel said they have a "signal" toggle to add on to control data but I've looked so many times and it isn't one of the toggles I have on my tab. Apparently tab 10.1 is an unofficial device! crying:

@kasper_h Hi sorry a little bump. I just flashed your 1 July version for carbon rom for my Tab 10.1 (p4) and I did notice my auto-rotate which seemed to be broken on 18 June version is now working. Great work and thanks! Still cannot find a signal or mobile data toggle. Am I just not looking in the right place? I haven't tested the GPS to see if it's more reliable yet. On the older Carbon Rom, GPS worked but dropped signal a few times suddenly while I was driving (my i9305 was able to maintain GPS tho).
Previously on Marshmallow 6.0.1 and had Hotspot in the Quick Settings.
After Nougat OTA update, even when I go to Edit the Quick Settings, there's no option for Hotspot at all. Searched these forums as well as regular Google search without any luck. Nothing else has changed; same carrier, same device, just updated to Nougat. If I go thru Settings to enable Hotspot, it works. I see screenshots from others on Nougat who have the Hotspot Quick Setting.
Edit: not rooted, completely stock, Telus carrier in Canada
Possibly the screenshots you've seen are from people using Xposed modules to add it to quick settings toggles, it's not there on mine either
I was able to get around that by installing QuickTile Quick Settings from the play store, which you can find here
[DISCONTINUED][ROM][MOD] S8+_U1_Unbranded_Rom_PlayStore_Addon_Mods_ADB & Odin_Install
THE FIRMWARE IN THIS OP IS FOR VERZIZON S8+ ONLY
The PlayStore Nougat Mods Zip Or The S8 Nougat Mods Zip Can Be Used On Any Carrier​This involves some knowledge of using odin and adb if you do not how to use these please read up before attempting this as this thread is not going to be a how to use odin/adb thread​
How I Achieved This If You Want The Technical Stuff
I found that Older CSC zips pulled from the cache.img of the S7 model phone will install using adb sideload.
I dont flash a S8 CSC file in odin because this contains the carrier stuff
I have to flash 2 different csc files from the S7. The first one flashes the correct stuff to blacklist unwanted other carrier Apps and install vital verizon apps. But the first csc zip blocks samsung cloud so by flashing the second csc zip which is from S7 MM firmware Samsung cloud was not blocked then. Finally the 3_Install.bat zip removes unwanted carrier files that cause problems with verizon VoLTE.

Thanks

Maybe I misunderstood some of the conversation in the other thread. Here is what you stated there:
I don't know of any other way to force WiFi calling other than turning off cell radio. On Verizon base rom you can put phone in airplane mode and connect back to WiFi but that don't work on unlocked firmware. The whole root thing depends on an unsecured eng boot image. Which the ones we have right now are not
So I thought that in order to get wifi calling working you would have to turn off cellular service. Maybe all you need to do is connect to wifi to get it to work since wifi would be preferred? Right now, when I am at home I get wifi calling and when I am not on my wifi I get cellular radio calling. I don't have to turn anything on or off. It just works.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I dont know how your getting wifi calls with verizon without either having no service or your roaming or you turned off the cellular radio. Verizon doesnt let you choose when the calls are made over wifi they choose for you the only settings you can control is if you want to use wificalling while roaming. Just because your connected to wifi doesnt mean the calls are being made over wif network. Unless this has changed in the latest update

mine just seems to choose when to use wifi calling. still on stock atm, but when connected to wifi, it calls through wifi, and my data is still enabled from what i can tell. when i walk out of wifi range my call doesn't drop, just keeps going as normal. if that makes sense

Do you have bad service at your house. I have an s5 s7 and s8 and none will make wifi calls by simply being on wifi network unless signal is bad so I dont know what the deal is.

full bars at the house, 2 or 3 at work. rechecked my call log, and they were all while i was at work. so i guess 2 or 3 bars makes a difference in when wifi calling is used?

If your Voice Service= unknown then go and try and make a call it will fall to call try a couple of times then come back here turn cell radio back on. Wait a few seconds to connect then turn cell radio back off and wait a few seconds it should show Voice Service=In service and you should be good to go.

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is repost but I couldn't find solution that I was looking for.
I'm trying to find a widget that would let me to turn on/off Wi-Fi hotspot. I went almost through every single hotspot toggle or widget in google play store and none of them worked. My phone is not rooted and i'm not planning to root so I've only tried options that work for non-rooted devices. The same thing happens with tasker it cannot turn on/off wifi tether. It seems there is a problem with Android 7., i think google broke something. So I was wondering if there is a work around that would let me use widget to toggle hotspot OR maybe there is an app that would let me create a shortcut of the hotspot toggle that is in the settings.
Thanks for any help or suggestion.
