Anyone been able to apply a method for connecting a Galaxy tab to a ad hoc wifi network?
I've rooted my tab and poked around for the various fixes but can't get anything to work. I tried the compiled Froyo fix for this but it throws an error when I try to flash the fix using Rom Manager: "failed to verify whole-file signature".
Will this patch need to be resigned for the tab? I'll admit I'm new to the Android world and I'm hoping there's an easy fix for this.
i also want to know how to connect to an ad hoc network. Please help us.
I tether mine using wireless tether on my dinc you just need to enable access control and it will work.
By wireless tether, you mean Bluetooth? What do you mean by "enable access control"?
I have a rooted droid incredible I use "wireless tether" from the market. When you open the app hit menu then access control and just hit enable.
Nope...had me going for a minute though. Funny though,my girlfriends DX can see my ad-hoc tether from my d1?
I would also like to know...
ad-hoc on Galaxy Tab
Having the Galaxy Tab recognize/connect to ad-hoc wireless network is critical for me. Anyone have the answer??
Verizon galaxy tab ad hoc working
After rooting my tab I found this link on the forums: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6
Grabbing the wpa_supicant file from there all I did was use root explorer, which can be found in the android market, to back up my existing wpa_supplicant found in the
/system/bin/ directory at the bottom. Then I copied the newly downloaded file
(after extracting it) and placed it in the above mentioned directory. You will have to press
The r/w button at the top of root explorer in order to enable read write permissions in
/system/bin . I tested this with the wireless tether on my droid original and it works
as advertised.
I am not the one who created this solution nor am I the one who compiled wpa_supplicant
All credit goes to the original author of the solution. I merely wish to convey to you that this solution worked for me. I hope this helps.
*It is important to note th at this was done using a rooted verizon galaxy tab. You will
Have to be at least rooted for this solution to have any chance of working. I used z4root
in order to root my device which can be found by searching these forums or the android market and again I dont claim any credit or participation in the creation of that app.

Yea, you're changing a file on the tab, so as long as you can tether with your inc, you'll be good. This definitely works and is incredibly simple, I'm tethered right now off my droid x.

No luck on rooted tmobile galaxy tab
Maybe this is a total noob problem but, I rooted my tab, followed the instructions and nada. The file says it copied but the date of the file did not change. I refreshed and checked again. I tried to see if the tab would now see my wifi tether from my droid1. No go. My laptop and ipod see the droid wifi but not the galaxy. Any ideas?

Assuming u backed up the original file first to ur sdcard, I actually deleted the one in
/system/bin then copied the modified file there afterward in order to make sure it was replaced and to avoid overwrite issues like that. Give that a try?
And dont forget to mount the folder in "r/w"

This worked great for me. Had to use adb shell and some command line tricks but got the new wpa_supplicant copied and can now use the wifi tether on my phone for internet. Good times.
Thanks!

Right on the money! As soon as I updated Root Explorer, bada bing Baby!
Thanks for the help!
This requires Root Access, and a Custom Recovery.
I found this hack over in the Galaxy S II section and I got it working on the Bionic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153196
I downloaded the .zip form that post and extracted it using 7zip in Windows.
I replaced the update-binary with the one from this post:
http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-09-16/bionic_bootstrap_recovery
Then I used 7-zip to create a new compressed file with the modified contents of the original zip.
I installed Flash version 10.3.186.6 from the market and disabled automatic updates. (If Flash gets updated past that version, you'll have to find an apk for 10.3.186.6 somewhere for this to work.)
I put that on the sd-card and booted into recovery using the bionic-bootstrap application from cvpcs. and flashed the zip from recovery.
Then I installed "Script Manager" from the market, navigated to /system/etc/init.d, selected S98fixflash and checked the "run on boot" and "run as root" checkbox.
Then I rebooted, and set Dolphin HD to use Desktop as the User Agent.
Now I can view free Hulu content on the Bionic without getting the "not supported on this platform" error.
I'm attaching the file I flashed to get this working, to save other people the trouble of repackaging it.
Standard Disclaimer: This worked for me, but I'm not responsible if this causes your phone to become a useless brick, or even if it causes your phone to sleep with your spouse, kill your pets, and/or burn your house down. After all, ymmv.
Thanks to compuw22c and cvpcs.
The titanium backup/restore method is considerably easier than this.

This thread has all the info on the TB way.
These are different things.
Those instructions get the Hulu Plus app to run on the Bionic, which requires you to pay for the Hulu Plus service.
The instructions in the original post are for watching free content available on the regular Hulu Website without having to sign up for Hulu Plus.
So after doing the steps in the original post, you could open up the Dolphin browser on your Bionic and enter the following URL:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/279868/castle-rise
And watch the episode of Castle without being a Hulu Plus member.
Gotcha...though I am already
Paying customer so the point is moot for me... Plus they just release an update for support today.

On my Acer Iconia (honeycomb 3.2) all i had to do was replace a file using root explorer. it doesnt stick on reboot though. but it takes 2 seconds.
here is the link to the instructions

That's pretty much what the zip flashable from recovery does. Only it also creates a script to copy the patched libflashplayer.so on every boot.
So you could probably make the fix permanent on your Iconia by copying the patched libflashplayer.so to /data/flash (create the directory if it doesn't exist).
Then open a text editor on a computer (NotePad for example on Windows) and create a new document.
Paste in the following:
cp /data/flash/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
Then save it as hulufix.txt, and move it to the iconia.
Install script manager from the market, open it and navigate to hulufix.txt.
Select run at boot and run as root, and then reboot.
It should copy the file over at boot.
Just make sure not to update flash until some updates the patched libflashplayer.so for your device.

Actually you could just extract the zip attached to the original post, and copy libflashplayer.so to /data/flash/
Then just create the script and use script manager as desribed in my previous post and get this working on the Bionic without bothering with booting a custom recovery.
I haven't personally tested it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The update is for Hulu Plus members, this hack allows you to view the regular Hulu website from the browser on your bionic. without joining Hulu Plus.
It lets you view all the free Hulu content available on the PC on your Bionic.
Would that work on the atrix 2.
There may be a much easier way to do all this that does not require root. I JUST bought it and am going to try it out later to see how well it works. but it caught my attention in another post.
It's called Flash Video Browser Originally found on this post.
This will remove the mobile ID sent from your local browser and allow you to view full website including flash website. It is also compatible with the latest version of Flash player (Version 11)
Added bonus is it does not require root access.
Cheers,

The .zip package won't work, but all you really need to do is copy libflashplayer.so located in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ to your computer. Open it in a hex editor that can understand ascii
If you are using the most recent version of flash, there is a line in the file "AND 11".
Change it to "WIN 11"
if you are using the version referenced in the OP than it is "AND 10" and you should change it to "WIN 10"
copy the edited libflashplayer.so back to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
and make sure the permissions are rwxr-xr-x
The fix will work until you reboot.
You can use a script to copy the file back at boot using script manager or init.d if you are using a rom that suports it.
I'll post a fixed libflashplayer.so for the current version of flash, and a script this afternoon.
Ok here's the libflashplayer.so file and the script this should work on any Android running 2.3
Using something like root explorer create a directory called "flash" in your data directory.
Extract both of the attached files to the new directory.
Make sure the permissions on both files are set to rwxr-xr-x
Use script-manager from the market to run 99fixhulu as root.
Now you should be able to watch hulu videos in the browser as long as the user agent is set to desktop.
If it works use script manager to run the script at boot, or put it in /system/etc/init.d if your ROM supports it.
This is for flash version 11.1.111.5
DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP from recovery.

I used to be one of you paying hulu customers until I found out that I couldn't watch all of their videos on my Xbox 360. If I'm going to pay and upgrade to plus, I want to be able to watch all of their videos on my Xbox.
The entertainment industry has all these dumb rules and wonder why they have a problem with piracy. They don't need anything like SOPA to protect them if they have policies that make sense. If they want more users paying for hulu plus, they need to find a way to allow their paying customers to use the service how they want, not restricting and limiting access on certain devices.
On Xbox, it would allow me to watch the latest season of certain shows, but if I tried to watch the previous season, it said it wasn't available on this device. I canceled within days of realizing this. I would have kept the service if it wasn't for this issue. Instead, I kept my Netflix streaming account and supplement it with unauthorized sources (their silly limitations pushed me into having to use piracy websites to be able to watch what I want. The problem isn't my willingness to pay for content, but for the service telling me how I can and can't use their service when there is no real reason for it)

Hi everyone,
Just got an i9295. It's rooted and I'm using xposed framework to get some additional functionality that I'm missing from aokp.
But I've noticed that my active ignores my custom hosts file.
I've tried searching but my Google fu doesn't seem during enough to find anyone else having the same problem with either the active or the "normal" s4.
Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what I can do?
I'm placing my hosts file in /etc/hosts with permissions set to rwxrwxrwx
The same file worked previously on aokp on a galaxy nexus.
Thanks in advance =)
Never mind...
I fixed it.
I re encoded the file with Unix-like line terminators.
It works now.
i have a note 5 NON ROOT. trying to access basic back up files and the waze sound. cannot find them on marshmallow but on my note 4 non rooted phone i was able to get right into those folders...

Are you using stock file manager? If so go into settings and check the show hidden files option. Are you referring to accessing through a file manager or viewing a apk?
Im using rood explorer and the built in file explorer too. Cant find waze sound files among others.
First of all, I found this guide under the S7 Edge section on XDA. I tried it and it worked on my rooted A70, so I wanted to share it here.
There are two methods. One of them needs root access, and the other doesn't. I didn't try the one which doesnt need root access.
METHOD 1 (NEEDS ROOT)
1- Install a file explorer which can access and edit system folders.
2-Find build.prop and copy it.
3-Paste it to your main storage.
4-Open it with a text editor and go to the end of the lines.
5-You will see a line which says "ro.config.tima=1". Turn it into "ro.config.tima=0".
6-Save and copy new edited build.prop.
7-Paste it to it's original place and overwrite it.
8-Reboot your phone and check Samsung Health.
Rootless method is not working but if you want to test it, test it:
METHOD 2 (DOESN'T NEED ROOT)
I DIDN'T TRY THIS AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS
1-Uninstall the Samsung Health App.
2-Install Samsung Health version 4 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/s-health/s-health-4-5-1-0011-release/s-health-4-5-1-0011-android-apk-download/
3-Launch the app and follow the steps to complete setup.
4-Update it via Google Play.
Thanks to @CuBz90
The non root method doesn't seem to work. App not installing.

How did you edit the /system? I am having trouble mounting it with read write privileges. My phone is rooted. Unable to "adb root" or mount system r/w. My multiple file explorer apps have had root access granted by magisk but I am still not able to replace it. I tried deleting it to see if I would be able to. I was able to but unable to paste the updated build.prop back into system. Had to reflash ??

I think you're having trouble with pasting (overwriting) the edited build.prop.
I am using FX File Manager with root addon. You can try it. And, do NOT forget to give read/write acces to fx. To do so, when you open /system section you will see a lock icon on somewhere (top right) as I remember. Click it and give permission. Then paste the edited build.prop onto the original one.
Write here if you have any other problem.
Samsung Health
It’s very strange - my old Lenovo tablet, A3300 a firmware ResurectionRemix, Android 7, calmly sees and sets Samsung health from the playmarket. WADW? (What am I doing wrong?):смех:
