[Q] How to copy "Wireless Tether" app from HTC Indredible to my new Thunderbolt??

[Q] How to copy "Wireless Tether" app from HTC Indredible to my new Thunderbolt??
As many of you may already know, the app from the market called "Wireless Tether" has been removed (or I sure as hell cannot find it!!) I have a HTC Incredible and just got the Thunderbolt. I want to try and get this app on my Thunderbolt but I cannot save the app to my sim from the app menu.
Is there any way to do this? I was thinking open it up on the computer as a hard drive and then copy it? If so, what will it be named and where would it be located? Then where should I copy it, or should I ask how do I get it installed on my Thunderbolt???
Thank you all for any help or suggestions ahead of time. I am new to this forum and appreciate any advise. Also, if I posted this in the wrong forum or if someone already asked this questions, well sorry haha.

The easiest way to get it is to just enable airplane mode and then turn on WiFi and connect to your network. It will then show up in the market and you can just download it. By the way, nice name!

Like this. http://bit.ly/juruRY

Thanks for the name compliment finger lol, I also tried your idea of airplane and wifi but I had no luck. I am wondering if the app is even on there anymore at all? It did not come up for me either way.

Thanks TONY, I am always skeptical of downloading files but I will trust you on this one lol. Now, how should I get this onto my phone and how do I get it to open up? I am assuming I should open that link FROM my phone? Will I need to save it and where to?

Or you can Google search "wireless tether for root users" and get the newest beta edition.

It works for me

Remember the episode of South Park "Make Love not Warcraft" where Randy couldn't figure out how to get "the Sword of a Thousand Truths" to Stan? -- This question made me think of that, lol.
You can do as they've described above or also:
From Incredible:
Code:
adb pull /path/to/apk.apk
To Thunderbolt:
Code:
adb push /path/to/apk.apk

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

This.
Also had some luck with the "Market Enabler" app that is available on the Android Market and, at least for now, isn't blocked by carriers.

Yea, Idk finger. I just tried it again and still could not find that app.

Ok now this is really gonna sound noobish haha, but what am i putting this code into? lol

You'll need to open up a command prompt in Windows and cd to the path where adb is installed on your computer. If it isn't, you're going to need to get yourself the Android SDK, and then the tools that contain adb.

You need to set your current working directory to wherever you have adb installed (I can't remember the exact directory name). If you're on Linux and don't have the directory where ADB is installed in your $PATH then you'll need to type ./adb but if you're on Windows you can just type adb. (Remember you used adb to root your phone... right?)

I remember it from when I rooted my Incredible but I have not attempted to root on my Thunderbolt yet. I used Unrevoked cause I was being a girl and was afraid to brick my phone. Since Unrevoked has not cracked the Thunderbolt yet, I will have to do it like everyone else. I guess I will look back on this forum after I root (which will be any day now) and get the program. I just want to make sure that I can still get it.
Let me ask you guys this. If I hook my computer up to my phone and run it as a "hard drive" what file can I pull to get the wireless tether program. Like where will it be located? Cause then I can just send it to my Thunderbolt after I obtain root. I actually have not even opened my Thunderbolt yet. I am charging it. I just was not sure when I activate it if I will be able to access all my files on my incredible. Sometimes i noticed phones will go right to a screen which makes you activate which I can not go around

Just download that link to our phone and open the apk file after it's done. That's all.

This looks like an older version of wireless tether that you posted. The current one, or at least the one I have is 2.0.7

Just download the apk from the Google code website.

[Q] I'm a noob

So as you all can tell....I'm new to this forum and to the Android platform as well. I just switched from my Iphone to the Galaxy S 4g and it has been great so far! After doing a little research myself I was able to root the phone via superoneclick. As I was reading further into the certain roms that are out and things I could do to further enhance my phone, I decided to get the new gingerbread 2.3.3. I used the program called Odin 1.7 to flash rom and besides from the known "rainbow screen issue and the low wifi signal" it is running smooth. I was just curious on what these programs called adb, cwm(clockwork mods I believe), and cyanogen7? are used for and how? I apologize for my noobness for asking these questions but I just feel like a kid in a candy store with no cash to spend hahah. If someone can redirect me to some links that can get me a general idea of how the Android software and mods work that would be great!!!

I remember signing up for these forums and not actually using them 'cause I was reading and trying to catch up with the vast amount of info available here... It was overwhelming to say the least.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. If you've ever used the command prompt, it's essentially the same. You type in commands and they get executed on the phone. I still argue that you get more power and flexibility through text-based programs, which ADB will let you use. You can use ADB if you use your phone to go into Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging (check the box next to it) then you can hook up your phone to the computer and run the ADB server on the computer. If you have superoneclick, it should've come with the ADB server as part of the tools.
CWM is a recovery mod, it sits on top of the phone's standard recovery program and gives you more power than the default one. You can make complete and partial backups of your phone's data in case you're flashing roms constantly and something goes wrong. You won't be able to use CWM with gingerbread at this moment since there's no support for it, but if you downgrade to Froyo, you'll be able to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
Cyanogen Mod isn't available for our phone yet, but it's a popular rom on the phones on which it is available.
Have fun!
EDIT:
You should probably bookmark the bible, lots of good references there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554

welcome to the forum! glad everything works well for you on the first time flashing gingerbread. you can read up on everything in the bible thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
check out the guides and it should give you a pretty good feel on everything.

Welcome to XDA!
First of all, kudos to the fact that you're brand new and you've already learned to ODIN gingerbread yourself.
ADB is a way of transferring and editing files on your phone.
It's very useful for editing system files, etc.
Not really necessary for you to know right now.
CWM, or ClockWorkMod, is an easy way for you to change your phone theme, apply a ROM (a combination of themes, or modifications), or flash tweaks. Right now, Gingerbread doesn't have CWM but it should be coming in the near future.
For the basics and a few tutorials, look for the GS4G bible, and also look at my tiny little guide, here.

dan, whenever people ask for places to get info, i'm going to give the bible as well as a link to your site too, if thats cool. you have a ton of info and it saved me when i first bricked. lol. (it was like 1230 or something and search was down)

You honestly don't really need ADB if you have Root Explorer, or QuickSSH'd (which I love).
If you do end up getting QuickSSH'd I'd be glad to help you use it.

If you don't wanna pay for QuickSSHd you can also get SSHDroid
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
You install the app on your phone, then you can get a program on your computer that supports SSH
Putty
WinSCP
Tunnelier
I prefer Putty for running commands and Tunnelier for transferring files. When you run SSHDroid, it'll explain to you how to use it.

Apps not allowed on root?

Recently tried installing 9 innings baseball and upon startup of the app it prompted me that "Device is Rooted, Please try again when Unrooted". First, is this legal? Second, is there a way to get around this? Third, How does this app even detect my root?
I'd love to play this game as I heard good things about it!
Thanks in Advance!

been looking for a good baseball app - but I guess I cannot use it now. found this forum though - might have better luck there:
http://global.com2us.com/forum/showthread.php?p=424792

Why would it not be legal? Note, this is the not the same question as whether or not it's the right thing to do. They can stop anyone they want from playing, it's their right. Apps typically block root when they used some type of shared scoring or leaderboard system that is susceptible to client-side hacking. It's a cheap workaround to prevent rooted players from playing rather than having to actually make their app secure.
As for how, a quick Google search turned up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101380/determine-if-running-on-a-rooted-device
That's a very simplistic way to check, and even it would be difficult to hide from. I've no doubt companies that are doing this as an anti-hacking measure are doing things more complex than this.

Yea I did a google search too and nothing seemed to help. I tried the temp unroot but that doesn't work. Was wondering if the XDA community knew some better way as I didn't find anything on the forums.
Legality side of it, Yea I suppose your right. But it's like saying I can't install WinAMP on Windows because I changed some registry files. Companies should defiantly not use rooting as an "anti-hacking" tool against their app. Either way they got a bad review because of it, hopefully they will take it into consideration and fix it.
It's the first time I've ever heard of an app not allowed because of root, is that a common thing?

Not really common, per se, but I've heard of it on a couple of other games. It's almost universally games that are susceptible to some type of client side hacking. There are some other apps that will do more specific things, like block you if you try to run an ad blocker, but very few will outright stop you for only rooting.

Hey it WORKED!
What I had to do:
1) Installed SuperSU
2) Went to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>All and Force Stopped Superuser
3) Opened SuperSU, Settings, and unchecked Enable Superuser.
This app must use the 3rd method listed on shrike1978's link where it checks for su binary. Thankfully because the other two checking methods would be impossible to get around without unrooting. (I'm sure it's not impossible, but more work than I care to do)
Thanks for the help AgentFour20

No problem . Just hit the thanks button , that would be greatly

PlayJam Gamestick: open port: possible ADB over wifi?

Hey guys!
I recently got a Gamestick. I already tried a lot of things to get under the hood, I am unsuccessful so far.
I have discovered the Gamestick has an open port, number 7002. It appears to be an adb bridge, as typing:
Code:
adb connect <gamestick_ip>:7002
on my PC yields a succesful connection, however, "adb devices" then says that the device is offline.
Has anyone with a bit more know-how (and a Gamestick) tried this? This device looks really useful, but it's locked down and very limited in what it can do right now. I want to try running my apps on it, but it's locked down.

Seems to be because of the authorization... You know - when you connect a phone using the adb for the first time, you have to confirm the connection for the first time... No luck confirming the adb on the gamestick...

Those steps probably worked in the developer version but I was not able to access android directories on the non-developer version; only external/sdcard. Re:repost, I can do later in the weekend. As a side note, some repositories are no longer functioning on the Tofu XBMC fork on the gamestick.

Gamestick developer mode
Hi guys I bought one of those game stick and the first day I converted it to developer stick from game stick website and by doing that it gave me access to everything you need to install apps I installed amazon app store aptoid Google play services gmail and couple of games like dead trigger riptide 2 sonic and worked perfectly with the controller the only thing am stuck with is play store I installed most of the apps needed for the play store to run but it only open register my Google account show me apps and games than switch off if someone know a fix to that please let me know the stick is already rooted just installed SuperSU and root browser to access and copy apps to system/app folder

any luck?
Sorry for re-opening an old topic but can somebody please repost the guide to side loading here? seems like it is deleted from gamestickers.net

I recently created a small custom ROM (more like a conversion) if you don't care about the Gamestick store (like me) and you want a open android stick that still works with the game pad, let me know and I can upload the ROM somewhere after I finish some details just make sure you understand that you won't be able to access the GameStick store at all, in fact your stick will no longer be a Gamestick, and well you might brick it, and all those disclaimers, blah blah blah
you can always go back to the original ROM

[Q] Locally-Stored Android App

I am new to the app scene. I was curious if there was a way to store apps locally, without the need of sales/Play Store/Amazon Store/etc.
I am just looking at storing it locally on a phone, or possibly a tablet, to show to potential clients. And also for portfolio purposes, down the road.
Again, I am a self-professed "noob", so all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

unless it is your personal app, you will need to get it from one of the stores at some point.
some apps can be downloaded by other means, but that is highly frowned upon, and against the rules to even discuss here (so please dont comment back on it).
if your device is rooted, you could use an app like titanium to make a backup of all the apps. then they would be saved locally, but i dont know how compatible that backup would be if you tried to restore it on other devices.
i would think if its a paid app, there is likely some entitlement verification coded into the app. so if it cant verify through one of the stores, it likely wont work properly if at all.

It would be apps that I build. So it would be for my own personal use. Like I said, it's to show potential clients. I would be using it to show how an app works, as a display to the client.
It will be my work. And it will be strictly for my clients.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

once you install an app on any device, from any source, you can use
1.apk extractor
2.es file explorer
to have the apk file, which can then be run on other devices as an installer.
or, you could dowbnload the apk straight from google play, search how with the search button.

Ok help me understand this.
It will be your app. One you make for your clients. which would mean your doing all the coding and building of the app, But you dont know how to store a simple apk on your device?
