Database Develop

Sprint Nexus 6 Wifi Tethering *root* UPDATED WORKING

Has anyone got "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to work? I am able to toggle portable wifi tethering set it up and connect but will pull no data .
UPDATE
Got it to work after installing Sqlite editor from GPS.
Instructions: Open Sqlite editor navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db > click on Global > add string Setting.db addition of tether_dun_required value 0
Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to bottom
Reboot=Profit

Have you also added the line
tether_dun_required
Value=0
To the settings database in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases under the global tab

I'm going to try this for t mobile hope it works

It jas been mentioned before that tmobile users need to only modify the settings database. There is a thread that mentions these details 3 or 4 pages back...

doesn't the build.prop trick do the job as well?

For sprint device i did both with successful results.

For Sprint, I only added tether_dun_required, rebooted and it worked. This was after I factory reset, however. It didn't work before that for an unknown reason.

What app did you guys use to edit the database?

Sqlite editor. I can try and create a flashable zip that does the same thing sometime today so it's easier for everybody. I'd have to test it myself of course.

Thanks to everyone here!
Mods Can you move to General section please.

Hey all. Are you guys using the Nexus 6 from the GPS or from Sprint? I got mine from Sprint, rooted and added lines to setting.db and build.prop factory reset and still can't even toggle Portable Wifi without getting Tethering or Hotspot Error....
My next task is to flash the factory rom direct from dev.google

I am unable to Wi-FI tether even after doing both tether_dun_required and the net.tether.noprovisioning in the build.prop. Bought straight from GPS, so not sure what I am doing wrong :/
EDIT:
It was a typo by me, the actual string is "net.tethering.noprovisioning"... "tethering" not "tether" after fixing this, all works well. I'd advise anyone struggling to just give spelling another check.

Hey all,
So I had to edit the two files in a specific order. Here's what worked for me on a Sprint Nexus 6.
- Root device
- add the additional line for build.prop
- factory reset
- check to see if you can toggle WiFi tether/hotspot from settings [if so continue]
- add line value to settings.db
- soft reboot
Hope it works.

Just to share what worked for me. It wasn't working for me initially on a Sprint N6 either, but I really didn't want to factory reset. I was able to just recreate the steps you did but replacing the factory reset with a soft reboot and now it's working.
Since I had already made the changes unsuccessfully, I did have to delete then re-add the entries since it does seem to matter the order they were done.
**edit: welp, Nevermind. It worked a few times but now I'm back to seeing the error saying I may not be subscribed.
**edit #2: I had the letter t in "true" capitalized. Changed it to lower case, reboot and it's been working for two days!

For those that don't want to edit files (but don't mind spending a couple bucks)... I can confirm that "WiFi Tether Router" app is working as well.
Settings for the N6, as provided by the dev:
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Verify those, reboot, then open and enable (Root required for it to reset the radio).
*Edit: clarity

From what I could gather from the thread and personal trial and error, this is what worked for me.
1. Unlock
2. Root
3. Download root explorer and sqlite editor
4. Open sqlite editor
4.a - under the files tab navigate to "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/global"
4.b - click the + symbol to add a new entry
4.c - In name section put "tether_dun_required" all lower case exactly as it appears here.
4.d - In value section put "0" thats the number zero.
4.e - click save and exit program.
5 Open root explorer
5.a - Under the root tab browse to "/system"
5.b - long press on file "build.prop" choose "open in text editor" choose "yes" to remount as read-write and continue
5.c - add this as a new line to the bottom of the file "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" all lower case exactly as it appears here. Just 1 uppercase letter here can make it not work.
5.d - save and exit
6 Reboot
7 Native tethering should work now.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I missed anything. Typed this up on my Nexus 9 tethered from my Nexus 6. :laugh:

Thanks for this. Worked perfect for me.

This is what i did and worked for me and i only had to edit build.prop using the phone. I'm sure that it will work for everyone else. I'm also wondering if there is a way to edit/add the line we need for build.prop without having to root? something like "build.prop net.tethering.noprovisioning=True" in adb shell and it will add the line for us? hope someone can answer this for me please.
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Edit the Build.Prop
6. Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=True to bottom

Thanks for the info. It works using Cricket sim

Multi-user mode (Guest mode) with simple build.prop edit

Enable multi-user feature on your Android one phone (running Android 5.1 Lollipop) without flashing .zip through custom recovery. All you need is root access.
Just go to /system , edit your "build.prop" file and add the following lines:
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1​
Save and reboot your phone. Done! Tested on Micromax Canvas A1.

Aren't there other procedures too? What's the point of it?

Very useful method. I test it and successful on my black view bv6000 running marshmallow

for those having trouble getting into the guest account and it sticks on unable to open, setting up, optimizing etc,
try and delete your setup-wizard apps in system-priv-apps as it sometimes will cause issues in setup of a additional user.
LG V20 confrimed working with this work around. still some other glitches, but good enough to add a kid user to your device!

Hello,
I have the multiuser service successfully enabled on my Acer liquid Z630S (Android 6 Marshmallow installed), but there is some problem.
I hope that someone can help me.
1) If I use the administrator account all works good.
If I use another user or the guest user, into settings the option "home page" and "audio" are missing.
Ringtones does not works, phone vibrates only.
It is no possible to manage the ringtones not even with physical buttons: the volume bar goes up and down, but no effect.
This problem affects only the phone ringtones: whatsapp, messenger and other ringtones and notifications have no problem.
Please, someone knows what permission do I must set for give to users the permissions for manage and use the audio ringtones, please?
XML files to set user permission are stored in /data/system/users, but I have not idea about what I would have to modify.
2) Files stored in the external SD card are not private, but available for all users, even the guest.
Please, someone know if it is possible to make private for any user also the files stored in the external SD card?
I thank you in advance everyone will advise me.
Greetings

New B170 and touchplus

Hello, I ordered the protective film touchplus I see him again in around two weeks. the problem is that the new version B170 removed the ability to use the touchplus in Europe. I will start this post so that we can start an advanced search with the whole community because if one is not touchplus users are permanently stuck on the B132 ... I am interested in any proposals and unlock my bootloader and I root I tried the build.prop but not worked. thank you in advance

Download this file : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B90WlDTwpRLXXzhOMkhHV1JnNkE
Unpack on PC
Copy whole folder "HWTouchplus" to SD card
Download Root explorer
Copy whole folder "HWTouchplus" to /System/apps/
Set permissions to 0755 (Touch & Hold folder until menu pops open, press "Permissions" set as this)
Did not test this, Its copied from B132, hope it works.

well then I try the new menu touchplus appears in the settings but do not open. so I simultaneously tried to activate the function in the touchplus build.prop but the result is the same .Can be another file is needed? Thank you for helping me .

Did you restart your phone ?
If after restart still not working, try to go to system/apps/HWTouchplus, and install the APK that is in there.
It can fail, i dont know if it will work. I will look for touchplus in my build.prop
//edit
Edit buildprop, this is part of my build.prop.
Code:
ro.config.hw_gps_power_track=true
ro.config.hw_smartcardservice=true
ro.config.hw_subtitle_support=true
ro.config.hw_support_geofence=true
ro.config.hw_touchplus_enabled=true
ro.cust.cdrom=/cust/preinstalled/public/cdrom/autorun.iso
Search in your build.prop (for example) for : "geofence", and add the touchplus line after it

Yes I rebooted after.
touchplus the line in build.prop I had seen before and I had already tried to put True.
I tried to install the .apk but he said impossible.
I then go to another folder in the system / app to view the permissions and this is what I did:
1» folder touchplus (775)
2» as the arm64 in 775
3» the .apk rw rr. Same any other application Huawei presents in system / app.
still the same result.

That is weird. We can try to backup with Titanium backup, and then you restore the app + data
Want to try that?

You have another app in system/privapp?

Yes thx you
Backup when touchplus is activate.

Touchplus active, put folder in this rar on phone, install titaniumbackup and it should be able to restore.
Maybe remove old Touchplus folder in system/app

No its not working its not active touchplus the menu. I Not see any solution

Hello, I recently bought a Huawei P8 I am very satisfied I consider the best smartphone I had. but recently I was very disappointed, in fact at setting a(update) B170 days there was great novelty of the knock on like, but against the function to touchplus was removed ... why? I bought protection touchplus 50 euros and now she is unusable over the touchplus function was one of the reasons I bought the P8 and now I have more. it is. as bought a car with GPS integration and some week later removing it to you without good reason! Is voluntary on your part? or is it a mistake? Would you have a solution? thank you to consider that I am not the only one who dislikes it, it can damage your brand image. thank you in advance.

Network speed display EMU 3.1

Hello!
I want to switch on the network connectivity speed display. It was in the settings panel earlier, but now it disappeared.
Or maybe not completely. If I search in the settings I can see that the option exists, but when I click on it, it's hidden... (See the PIC attached)
I'm guessing there is a option in a deeper level where I can set it.
Does anyone know a solution? My phone is rooted, so if it requires editing some config files, I'm all for it.
Thanks.

Mines the same except I got no root.. how did you do yours?

I managed to root with the recovery version.
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-root-b803-recovery-version-t3157477

Thanks for the reply ... I will downgrade mine to 2.3 and root it and then upgrade again if that setting becomes available again ill let you know

So i have rooted my device via your method and after reinstalling lolipop i found that the setting was stil missing. I however noticed that if you installed the lolipop update from the vodacom version posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/huawei-p7-l10c02b817-android-5emui3-1-t3207363) it was there again. Unfortunatly for me there is some bugs in that update, there is no keybord app. I then started searching for a way to edit the system wide prefrence database file, where i also found the entry located inside the settings.db file , but it is not possible to edit it without corrupting the data for further use by the phone.
here are some screenshots from my findings

How edit kdz file?

Guys,
Good day!
I have a lg l90 410hn and physical buttons stopped working and found a solution to enable the virtual buttons by editing the build.pro the system:
1st You need to have your mobile with root and have the Root Explorer app.
2nd Go to the System folder, hold the build.prop file until the menu appears.
3rd Select open with text editor
4th Go to the last line and write / paste it:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0
But when editing the build, the device appears problems:
1- The call does not work
2- the chipcard 1 does not work
3- some system applications are with the android icon and open and close.
Is there any way to edit the build.pro in KDZ file before sending for device?
I'm sorry for bad English!

Hmm, weird... Editing build.prop shouldn't cause such problems. Maybe you've done something wrong while editing it?
You can try other tools after a fresh system install to edit build.prop. I know Kernel Auditor can do it.

I solved my problem in parts using the swapper, but still not what I want. I will monitor the forum to find a solution !!
I used several applications to edit the build. After editing build the device presents problems
