Wifi direct is like a software access point.

I have been looking in to wifi direct.
For those that don't know what it is, it enable you to transfer content from one wifi direct enabled device to another. However on all the roms I have tried so far the option is there to switch it on but it seems to do nothing. It looks if the functionality is there but with no way to control or use it.
On the sgs2 (which supports wifi direct) there are more options for wifi direct. The menu looks very similar to that found under the Bluetooth option.
The Virtuous team has just started to build aosp roms from source and mdeejay has managed to find some source code that gives you the options you need to be able to make wifi direct functional.
On the build I'm currently running on my Desire Z it still does not work, but we are looking into and hope to get it fully functional. I will post the the links to the source code mdeejay gave me here, and hopefully those with knowledge will be able to implement in to nexus rooms and get it fully functional .

There will be a formal list when it drops. I will make a thorough post of what's changed when the time is right.
The big ones are RIL & BT. Audio routing won't make FRX07, so BT audio won't work, but pairing with BT devices & transferring data should.
Great , thanks!
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
seems silly to me to evenrelease fr0x7 without the BT and the audo routing fixes already in place at least for the rhodium users., i understand that the BT and audio routing fixes are mostly RHOD specific so why not make 2 version's of FR0x7? Those are the changes that most ppl weant they want there BT and loud speakerphone. Just curious as to why it would even be released without those things since the fixes are out, if it means having to wait to release fr0x7 than wait IMO. i donno just my 2 cents
Audio routing isn't stable,isn't for all the devices and it's still being developed
So it's a time waste adding it now,then frx08 will have it..

Couldn't have said it better myself. Audio routing will not be implemented until it's stable.
Shouldn't the dev start focusing more on gingerbread because it's newer, just wondering? Or what?

Kernel issue, not a build issue from what I can tell.
Also, from what I've gleaned - the cam works, but only in low light. See
[UPDATED 04/29][DEV - Camera ( camcorder improvement ) ] Camera tests for more information.
Bluetooth data would be great. I have an asus transformer which will not connect to an adhoc network, so WiFi tethering is out. The only solution I can find for tethering a honeycomb tablet is through pdanet tablet, which requires android on both devices and uses bluetooth. Thanks for all the hard work.

Is there a wpa supplicant hack for the transformer? My A500 tablet has the same issue stock, but with mod or custom ROM wifi tethering to my rhodium works perfect on ad-hoc. Anyway, maybe worth looking into.

Yes there is. I'm on an adhoc posting this from my TF right now. check the TF section for the xoom supplicant file or just flash prime 1.5 as this fix is already implimented in that rom
Will it have the new MMS fixes? That's the biggest thing missing for me. People love to send pictures and I always have to boot WiMo and ask them to resend it.

Yes, it will work for all carriers assuming you set your APN. Still hashing out the best way to do this, might just have to leave it up to the end-users to configure.
I flashed prime on my TF last week. Works great and has the WPA supplicant fix already built in.
I can tether to my TP2 in winmo or whatever! Works GREAT.
Also, waiting for FRX07. Great work on FRX06!
@arrrghhh, tnx for your reaction, but im not an android expert, is there a way to implement the fixes mentioned there in frx07??
keep up the good work!!
tnx!

Not easily, there's many, many changes. The easiest way would be to pull from the XDAndroid repo (all of our code is available...) and build your own system image.
07 will be out soon. In the final stages of testing.

[Q] Epic 4G tether....guidance needed

I searched the forum and found that some are having difficulty with the Epic 4G tether. After reading, I still need some help please.
I rooted the Epic using the one click method on one of the threads on the forum. About phone says:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: S : D700.0.5S.EC05
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.EC05
Hardware version: D700.0.5
I installed on the Epic Barnace Tether and WifiTether (the one with the lime green symbol), which were the two most popular in the market.
Unfortunately, when I run the programs, my Xoom doesn't "see" my phone. Our two household laptops do whether I use Barnacle or WifiTether, but my Xoom doesn't list the phone under available wifi networks.
It's been a few months since the last thread that resembled this issue. Is there some consensus as what the easiest/best thing to do is to get my Xoom to see the Epic tethering? Perhaps this should be on the Xoom forum? Not sure.
Thanks for your help.
OK.
From my experience there two things at play here.
Number one, if i am not mistaken some devices have problems connecting to adhoc.
But this is not your problem at all.
Your kernel does not have the necesary stuff to make it work.
You need to install another rom, Simply AOSP, Experience, I can confirm work with tethering. I prefer simply AOSP because its as close to the nexus s as possible. if you still like the old samsung look you can actually switch to it with simply settings and it will be like any other samsung rom.
I had the same problem with both my galaxy s 4g and my epic 4g.
Keep in mind even after you get it working it will only be adhoc support.

OK, thanks....some more help if you would.
So what you're saying is that if I install another ROM, it will work. The name of the ROM I should install is Simply AOSP or Experience. After I install these ROMs, I will be able to tether. Is there a link that will guide me through these steps?
I have a vague idea of what ROMs are, but I don't know what simply settings are. Is there a link where I could read about that?
In your last sentence when you say keep in mind after you get it working it will only be adhoc support........what does that mean?
When I install a new ROM, will the phone lose any other functionality? Is it reversible?
Sorry for all the questions. I was just getting comfortable with rooting and ROMs are a whole new area to me.

He's saying his computers to pick up the hotspot meaning the tether is working just not the Xoom I've had the same issue not showing up but yes do try another ROM and kernel check out qbking77 on YouTube makes great videos on how to flash roms and kernels if you need help and as of earlier he was looking for suggestions for a new vid pm him to make a vid on how to get tethering to properly work if you can't get it to work

OK, I'll check out the videos. I know nothing about ROMs other than the little I have read on this thread in the past 45 minutes or so.
The problem I am having though is that ONLY my Xoom tablet cannot see the phone wifi hotspot. My laptops see it fine and connect to it. Do you think I should be trying to fix this from the Xoom end of the problem vs. the Epic end of the problem? Confused.
I'm leaning toward the Xoom as the problem check out a Xoom forum
doesn't hurt to try

LTE rooting / tethering?

For those of us getting the phone tomorrow, two questions for those who already have it and are rooted...
1) is wifi tether possible without the tetherng package added to your account?
2) is USB tethering possible without the tethering package added to your account?
Not looking for a debate on the morality / legality of tethering, just asking a question...
Do you think the DEV section is the right place for your questions?
Yeah sorry I'm in tapatalk. Clicked the wrong forum. Mods feel free to move it.
Thanks for the lecture, btw.

verizon will probably block it but aosp based roms and cm9 will fix that
i cant wait to tether though, this is gonna be my first 4g phone and to be honest i hate my home internet(i have fiber optic but i have to share it with like 5 other people so its slow lol)
I figured that...I was hopeful there might be a simple fix to enable it on the stock ROM.

you can probably change some of the settings in the programming menu but that could cause your phone to not work anymore, i would wait for ether cm9 or you can flash one of the LTE G-nex roms available here, that should remove what ever verizon put on the phone
I've been searching relentlessly for a way to get Wireless Tether for Root Users to work on my brand new VZW Galaxy Nexus.
No dice. The Dev has been notified.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1257
If you install the latest BETA version and select the Samsung Galaxy S2 under device profiles, it ALMOST works, throughs in error in the log: "Activating WiFi interface.... FAILED"
Totally crushed about this. Not sure if it's happening due to a VZW side safeguard or if it's simply a progrmaming issue the dev can fix :\
I'm sure they will get this figured out sooner rather than later...hope so, anyway.

Check out Koush' tweets. He posted one about 9 hours ago saying he's developing a rootless tethering app, should be available soon. Gotta love the android community
i can confirm that both wireless tether and pdanet do NOT work on the LTE nexus.

[DEV][MOD][JB] T-Mobile Wi-fi Calling

A while ago, I downloaded a nandroid someone posted from their T-Mobile Galaxy Note II to see if I could pick it apart for wi-fi calling, but I don't use it so I can't really test it and I lost interest. Now, I've packaged up the Wifi Calling app with all of the libs it came with and added in the build.prop from the zip. It might be a lot more than what is needed, but I don't want to have to keep uploading bits and pieces. If you think you have an idea of what you're doing and want to try it out, go for it. I don't really know much about wi-fi calling at all so unless you have some sort of logcat, I'll be of little to no use to you at all. I guess that's about it...
You can use the ics wi-fi calling package to help you out by possibly using it as a reference/using parts/etc.
FOUND HERE
And here is what I've extracted from that 1GB+ package.
CLICK ME
Let us know what you find and good luck
If you feel you might need more files from the original nandroid just let me know.
Nice!

Hm... by the looks of it, it would seem that these are only settings for Wi-Fi calling. So it would seem that you'd have to mod the settings apk to have the option for WiFi calling settings. :/ I'll look into elgins (CM10) source sometime to see if I can add it in. If I can at least get the app starting somewhere, it will be easier for everyone else to debug/fix it up. If anyone has messed with the note 2 and can confirm that WiFi calling is accessed via settings and not launcher (app) that would be helpful as well.

This is gr8 news !Hopefiully someone can get going on this ,it can benefit not just the Glacier,but other devices as well that already have a fully working JB minus wifi calling.
From what I have seen and read on my HTC One S it is built into the frame work on JB so way above what I know good luck.
im gonna look into this and see what i can do

I'm thinking the setting could be added in way that is similar to this:
https://github.com/SyNtheticNightma...mmit/bfac7c05daab9f6294f7419ea6173c4a1c569092
Though I don't know the exact name of the package for the wi-fi calling settings... I'd need to decompile it to find that out (unless you know another way, I'm not too familiar with apks). I could also try whipping up an icon for this if you need one.
have you looked at this at all? http://code.google.com/p/the-ims-open-source-project-for-android/

i compared this to ics wifi calling zip and none of the libs from ics zip is in the jb zip

Sorry for a late reply (haven't had the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889) so long...
Wifi Calling settings are located under Settings / More settings /
And includes two items: Wi-Fi Calling (this is to enable/disable with a check box), and, Wi-Fi Calling Settings (This offers Connection Preferences [Wi-Fi Preferred / Wi-Fi Only / Cellular Preferred}, and, Help)
For reference, the above menu structure/selections are based on Stock F/W 4.1.1, Build Number JRO03C.T889UVALL4
Is this still a work in progress or has it died?
it sure died.. adding wifi calling to JB has been a task for over a year..no dev has been able ot make this work...so sad.

Nexus phone's usb pass through internet (Android stock)

Guys,
Dont know is it the right thread.
Just need to know. I had installed a CM 10.2 nightly. Everything is working well.
Just the camera feel a little lag in startup. But there is not a problem actually.
But WHAT are i am really missed here is a lack of internet pass through via USB PC sharing.
Is it true the Nexus line up phone with a Android stock wasn't support this feature. Not like a HTC'S as we can share a pc internet network.
Thanks guys:good:
nexus devices lack this feature.. you gotta go back to stock for this or wait till someone develops it for AOSP roms.. or search for reverse tethering on android
