cooking rom question. wireless tether doesnt work

I am trying to make a stock Rom with wireless tether. I have cooked successful time in the past, but this one isn't working. I am using the latest rooted stock ota Rom as a base and just adding wireless tether.
I have noticed the hboot is 0.93 which is different than what my other evo had. His maybe because of the new unrevoke for 2.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks, cody

Cant you just flash the stock rooted rom and install wireless tether?

i want to cook it into rom. i have a few people that are wanting it. would be nice to keep it there for when and if they hard reset.
if seems even when i do it as you discribed above, it installes wireless tether as ad hoc instead of as an access point. i think thats how its worded.
thanks, Cody

You could install to system by making a flashable zip of the app. If it gets written to system/app it will survive a full wipe.

hmmm. how do i make the app a flashable zip? and how do i then make it install into the system/app?
i like this idea
thanks, Cody

I believe REGAW has made a zipmaker tool that would be able to accomplish this.
ALTERNATIVELY you can also push the apk to the /system/app/ folder via ADB, and should install automatically once pushed.
First place the APK in the TOOLS folder of the Android SDK.
CODE:
adb remount
adb push yourfilename.apk /system/app
Let me know if that works for you.

lol. funny you post this. i am googleing how to push wireless tether apk with adb on a mac and found this thread. i have almost got it figured out. having fun learning.
Thanks for your help, Cody

ok, new to adb so please excuse me.
i am on a mac so it is....
./adb remount
./abd push wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk /system/app
it seemed as if the push went fine, but when i go to run the wireless tether on the device it gives me a force close.
so close
in the adb, do i need to remount a second time after i push?
do i need to exit when im done with adb before unpluging my device from the usb?
just thinking it was something silly i did wrong. i am a noob at adb

Ok! Now I'm out of my territory because I am VERY unfamiliar with Apple/Mac. Can anyone else be of any assistance?

adb is adb. don't let that bother you. the fact that i never used or seen adb it the bigger concern. i am going to push a few other apps and see it they work ok.
it seems as if either /system/apps wasn't the correct place to install wireless tether or something happened to it in the push process. this is the exact apk that i manually install on the phone after flash and it works.
hmmm, Cody

[Q] Reinstall Music App

So I just installed the Kingdom Rewind RLS1.7 and I noticed that there is a bug where the stock music app doesn't allow you to fast scroll through the different letters. So my question is this... Is there a way to install a different version of the app and keep the same ROM?

Has anyone else had this HTC Music scrolling problem? It seems really glitchy sometimes. Also, I have tried copying the HtcMusic.apk from other ROMs and then installing it over the top of my current ROM but to no avail. Any help?

How did you install it? I find it sometimes works to install system apps by booting into recovery, then connect your Dinc to your computer and do an adb push to system/apps, then reboot.

I just did it through RootExplorer. I have never tried the adb push way of doing it. Would I need to download the Android SDK to do that?

Yeah, you need the SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and be familiar with command line to make it work

[Q] Kindle Fire with 6.3 Help with Rooting Please

Hi,
I am a total noob. I don't even know the proper expressions for this whole thing.
So this is my case:
I am outside the US and bought the Kindle Fire with a 6.3 firmware, couple of days ago.
Being curious about what it all can do, created a fake account with a test credit card as I read somewhere in the net.
Then downloaded the KFU 0.9.5 and rooted the device, everything went according to the plan, so I thought.
Then I discovered I had to use something called Market Opener to install other apps. But this Market Opener never worked.
So I found out that I had to change permissions. But this cannot happen as I get that message that adb services can not run in production builds etc. whatever that may mean.
So I downloaded Android SDK, followed the instructions installed it but I still cannot get into the root and change folder permissions. Sometimes it recognizes the device, sometimes not and when it does it tells me the same thing as above.
Then I would need some .apk to do the thing on the device but I cannot install those as I don't have the Market Opener or the Google Play and I cannot get those if I don't have superuser permissions to change things in Folders.
Basically I have been spending the last 3 days in searching the net for answers but to no avail.
So, can someone help me please? What I need to do is being able to install some apps including Market Opener / Google Play and being able to watch Amazon VOD. Is this possible?
Please bear in mind that I have no clue of the specific language, i.e. I don't know what flash is and how to do it nor I know how to do a backup and restore or how to reset everything in the original state.
SO if some of you have the patience to help, please advice me with some noob language so that I can understand.
Thanks in advance for the help that will come

Are you looking to put a custom rom on it or just root? If you're looking to keep Amazon services, you can put MoDaCo's rom on it, which is just like your kindle out of the box with a few extra bells and whistles. There are alot of guides floating around on how to get ADB working. There's an excellent beginners guide in the General section that I highly advise checking out.
Noob terms: if you want to keep the Amazon experience, I reccomend MoDaCo. Look for it in the development fourms.

Thanks for ur answer.
I have read a lot of guides out there but I seem not to be able to get the ADB working as I always get the message I gave in the original post plus the fact that sometimes it recognizes the device and sometimes not.
I have read the beginners guide which was excellent but without the ADB working there is little I can do I suppose.
As I wrote, I want to play with the device to see what it is able to do and want to use the Amazon VOD if possible. I.e. I would like to be able to use Google Play to get apps on will and still keep the Amazon services. Would that be possible with the MoDaCo staff?
Ok. I downloaded the MoDaCo staff.
Must I reset the kindle to the factory settings before I install that? If yes, how?
And how do I flash it?

Make sure you are in fact rooted.
You seem like you know enough about adb to try the following commands.
adb shell
ls /system/xbin
Look for a file called "su" in the list
Then...
ls /system/app
Look for a file called "Superuser.apk"
A lack of either of these means you're not rooted and may be the source of your problems
If you are trying to change system file permissions through adb...
adb root
adb remount
adb shell chmod blah /blah/blah/yadayada
Just don't literally type "blah /blah/blah/yadayada"
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium

a factory reset won't really help you because you're basically replacing the operating system. pretty sure all amazon services are working with modaco. to install it, look around for a guide on how to install something called firefirefire (FFF) and TWRP. pretty sure that can all be done with kfu in a couple clicks. then copy the modaco zip onto your kindle, go into the wipe menu and clear out system, cache, dalvik cache, and data (factory reset), then go into install and choose the modaco zip. reboot and you should be set.

Thank you for your answer.
I would gladly follow your advice but the adb does not find my device. I don't know whether this is normal and if I must reboot my PC.
The kfu also gives me an offline status...

Thanks again for the fast answer. I am impressed!
Doesn't the FFF and the TWRP get installed automatically with the kfu?

its most likely your computer. a reboot might help. if not, how did you install the drivers? are you using a mac or pc? try installing the drivers that came bundled with KFU.
if you're using a PC, go into device manager and see if something about android ADB pops up. if not, it's your drivers.

haha, no problem .
if FFF was installed, you should see a picture of fire in a caution sign or an android logo over the kindle fire logo when you boot it up. if all you see is kindle fire, then you don't have fff. im pretty sure you need fff to get into twrp. if fff is installed, you should be able to hop into fastboot and install twrp if it's not installed yet.

I am using a PC ( a netbook, don't laugh, I'm on vacation!!)
I installed the drivers using the install_bat from the kfu.
In device manager I see Android Phone and underneath Android Composite ADB Interface...

interesting. check my previous post and see if you have FFF installed. adb should be working fine if device manager can find it. if you can, run adb devices into cmd and see if it picks up your kindle. not sure if the stock rom has a development switch in the settings.. if there's an option to enable usb debugging, make sure that is on. if not, just try moving usb ports and running adb devices.

If adb has trouble recognizing your device, it means it's a driver issue. Either Windows, KFU or a combination of the two causes the drivers to fail for some reason.
Uninstall/delete your current drivers in device manager (may require reboot)
Turn your Kindle off
Reinstall drivers
Turn your Kindle on
Retry adb commands

I have FFF as I see the fire in a caution sign (yellow triangle thing right?)
ADB still doesn't pick my kindle after a PC restart.
No usb debugging available in the stock rom.
I will uninstall and reinstall the drivers from device manager.
Thanks again for your prompt help. I am oblidged!

that's fantastic... if you have FFF, try pressing the power button a couple times as it turns on and see if you can get into recovery. you shouldn't need adb now. if you can get into recovery, just wipe and flash the new rom. if you don't, you can use fastboot to install it.

Ok...I reinstalled the drivers
now ADB gets the kindle
I do adb shell
then ls / system /xbin
no such file or directrory
the same goes with the
ls / system / app
But if I give su I get
su
#
Now what?
And in which directory should I transfer the MoDaCo Rom?

SU (substitute user) in shell is different from the su binary
Make sure you are typing "L"s, not "i"s then /system/xbin

modaco can go anywhere in the kindle.. just copy it somewhere. then press the power button a couple times when FFF comes up and see if you can get into twrp.

Guys? I just installed ModaCo and it seems it works fine. Google Play seems to work and all my data are still there (I mean the books I uploaded). If this is right then.... THANKS TO ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!!!!

if you want to use adb, should be ls /system/xbin. make sure you put the space after the ls. i would still recommend flashing modaco nevertheless... that shouldn't need adb. just maybe fastboot if your recovery isnt installed.

[Q] Wiped ROM with no ROM on the internal SD

Ok, I installed TWRP via freegee. I then proceeded to wipe my ROM, but realized too late i did not have the ROM i wanted on the phone. Any ideas on how to put a rom on it?

Go in to TWRP> Advanced> adb sideload, now (must have ADB installed and phone connected to computer) have the desired file to flash on your computers desktop and now hold the shift key and right mouse click> open command window here. Then in this command window type adb sideload rom.zip (whatever the actual name of the zip file is included .zip at the end)

TWRP install ROM from SD slot. Hell, it can even be installed via a mounted USB OTG stick. Did you try putting you ROM onn an SD card and try it?

Uninstall/reinstall them. Make sure you have ADB installed correctly too (google/youtube for this). Change USB ports on your computer perhaps? - If this is all done correectly there will be no reason it will fail unless there is a hardware issue

Fastboot the Ouya and Windows 7

Hello I installed a new FW on my Ouya and it killed CWM recovery. Right now I'm stuck at the device manager and it list my Ouya as other device and fastboot is under that. I tried installing the drivers from OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Install the adb sdk then your going to want to install the Google drivers and add a line of code to the file under nexus to make It work with the ouya. Your going to have to Google it or maybe some one can file you in better on it. I'm at work and don't have access to a computer to give you a 100% detail on how to do it. Like I said just Google it that's how I found out how to make it work.
