I really didnt want to start a new thread about this but I've received no help in the chat room and cant find an answer in Q&A. so... My problem is, Im trying to freeze sprint hotspot and cant find it when I search for it in the bloat freezer app. I tried freezing random sprint apps to see if that would work and nada. so if ANYONE has frozen this app already or knows where to find it/change file name in root explorer/ delete it. please let me know! Thanks in advance. Rude_Jude.
I think its actually buikt into the framework
I have searched many times for the app so i could remove it and never found it
Also the hitspot hack uses modifies framework so it kinda makes sense

Its in the settings.apk, it can be removed, but not easily.

So, I should or shouldnt remove it? And if I should, can you, chris41g tell me what file name its under or tell me how to find it? Please??
Chris already told you where it's located. It's built into the Settings.apk - unless you've messed with Android before I wouldn't touch it.
Do you just not want it because you don't have tethering in your plan or what? Just wondering since most people want it and there's a fix in the Dev section so you can use the wireless hotspot app.
I realize he told me its in the settings apk... But there are layers upon layers to look through. I already have teather so I dont need hotspot. I just want to stop any apps from automatically running. What would hot spot do for me that teather doesn't already do?

its not a simple edit, you can remove it from the xml file and the icon goes away, but its hard to get it compiled back, because it uses that xml for a signature

Infrastructure. It can be used in access point mode (AP) - the other tether apps can't. A lot of things can only connect to an access point - like the PS3, XBOX, tablets, so on. On the plus side, the Google wireless tether app can use 4G, the Sprint one can't right now unless you actually pay for it.

So I'm shopping for a Widget that toggles Mobile and GPS without having to be in the settings page. I don't know why Google didn't throw Mobile into the "Power Controls" but it's an absolute must.
I've tried:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetsoid2-x/com.jim2
which Mobile doesn't work
http://www.appbrain.com/app/extended-controls/com.extendedcontrols
Costs, so unclear if it works. I would purchase it if I knew ICS controls worked properly.
Anyone have something working for them?

Buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, get a refund within the time frame.
It's also $0.99......
Someone mentioned in another thread, but Elixir 2.. Let me know if the app above works however.

I bought and took the refund as they send you to the settings for GPS, and with Mobile they offer renaming the APN, which doesn't even work. So basically it's the same as any free one.
BAMF LTE widget works perfectly. It doesn't look very pretty, but it's totally functional.
Just google "bamf lte widget" because I can't post links... It's the top hit.
Flash it with CWM and it'll be in your widget list when you reboot.
no toggle widget will toggle GPS. it was a change that happened in froyo and it's now not possible for a third party app to change the GPS.
same goes for network switching. even if your rooted it's not possible. only system apps can change those. been like this for a while.
only way around it is something like bamf that installs itself as a system app.
Search for GPS toggle widget (root) by Jakar. Works on android HD ROM.
Oh, whoops, misread the original question.
The AOKP ROM and some other CM9 based ROMs have built in data and gps toggles in the notifications panel... I don't know other than that

Is your phone rooted? It doesn't work on my which isn't rooted yet.
Yes my phone is rooted but I think the name "Root toggle" is a misnomer because the app has never asked for root permissions.

I'm currently using Widgetsoid2.x and the data toggle works just fine for me. I have confirmed this on both rooted stock 4.0.2 as well as CM9 alpha 4.0.3.
In neither case did I need to touch the data toggle settings within Widgetsoid. In order for it to work, you must install it as a system app. Despite what it says on the dev's website about requiring adb push, I was able to simply use Root Explorer to drag the Widgetsoid2.x.apk to /system/app and then click on it, install, and reboot (for good measure).
Hope this works you as well

Not true. Network data switch works just fine with one click on GN with Elixir 2 unrooted. And GPS switch worked just fine in Froyo with Elixir 1.x.
when I was using Go Launcher I used a switch widget that worked great on my froyo phone

Both GPS (via exploit) and Mobile Data CAN be toggled without root.
So if you are really looking for something that does that and you can't find it,
PM me and I'll see what I can do for ya!
(I am a beginning developer).
Btw, my first app is in-the-make.
It's a no-root extended powermenu, with poweroff, 4-way-reboot menu and QuickSettings.
The last one is just like it is in Android 4.2, but extended with a features you'd expect in a toggle app. GPS and Data toggles are already working, so PM me if you want it

Okay all, just trying to help out.
G/F has the M and it's rather flaky with FoxFi and getting tether to work. Therefore to help some out, buy SQLite (original RAZR and MAXX owners should be familiar with this) from the Play Store.
The path will be "data/user/0/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases"
So select data > user > 0 > com.motorola.android.providers.settings > databases > settings.db > settings
After selecting settings a list will pop up. You can do one of two things. Tap the magnifying glass and type "entitlement_check" and search for that, or scroll down to line 68 (yours may be a different line) and select it.
Tap the pencil icon.
You will see a new screen that has _id "auto", name "entitlement_check", and value "1". Change the "1" to a "0".
Hit save.
You should now be able to use the stock VZW hotspot app.
(This is on stock rooted ICS, not sure if this works on the Jellybean leak, but should tide us over til some custom roms get rolling that bypass this altogether.)
This worked great on the JB update, thanks! I did need to reboot after making changes to have it take effect, but otherwise, worked great. I was able to do both WiFi hotspot and Bluetooth tethering.
Interestingly I don't need to do this to enable the hotspot even though I don't have unlimited data. Are you sure it's even required anymore?

Unfortunately for unlimited data users it is required. We don't get free tethering as tiered data users do.
Thanks seems to work fine.
worked like a charm thanks!
Used it to upload several movie files to my dropbox lol. 20mbps up is so amazing vs 2mbps on home wifi. Uploaded a video to youtube too. Unlimited data, gonna stick it to the man!
*edit* I'm on the Jelly Bean leak.
Thanks!! This worked perfectly on the JB OTA. Made the changes, reboot and BOOM. Testing the tethering right now...
Glad its working for you guys. My Dev M should be here tomorrow. So I'm excited to be in this neck of the woods for a while now. As others have confirmed...this does work on the JB OTA. :good:
What am I doing wrong
Excuse my ignorance but I seem to be falling short here... what exactly are you guys doing? From inside the SQLite manager I'm selecting "data" but there is no "user" after that! Also checked Astro File Manager. Please help

Guessing you're not at the root directory maybe? Do you have root explorer? Haven't used Astro since my old phone no Gingerbread so not sure if it has root access.
Motoman, sorry bud, was at work and just got home. Got your PMs bro. :good:
Okay is your M rooted? If so then SQLite should find the root directory. (Going to come back and edit this in a minute)
ETA:
Okay in SQLite there are four tabs at the top. APPS, FILES, BOOKMARKS, RECENT
Hit the FILES tab.
Then scroll down to "data" folder and select it. Your "user" folder should be all the way at the bottom after selecting "data"
rooted on JB OTA. Worked perfectly after a reboot! Thanks
Welp thanks to tethering and the awesomeness of LTE uploading I have used an ass load of data. I uploaded some music and TV shows to my dropbox for some friends.

Sorry to jump into old thread but considering a RAZR M for my wife but need to be able to do wifi tether. Currently on old unlimited alltel plan on Verizon. Is regular consumer M able to be rooted?
Then wifi tether is still an entitlement change with SQL lite? Or do I news to buy development version of the M?

Here are some instructions on how to use Wifi Hotspot after you are rooted.
install Xposed Framework from HERE
after you have xposed framework setup, download Wanam Xposed from the Play Store and install it. Go into Exposed framework app, go to modules and check (enable) the wanam mod. Reboot.
After you are rebooted, go into Wanam xposed app, goto system, check "Disable tether provisioning. Reboot
this allows you to use hotspot without provisioning, but if you go to the verizon hotspot icon or configuration, it sees it and shuts it off. So we will add a hotspot quick panel icon to turn it on.
Download and launch SQLite Editor
1. Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it
2. Click on Ssettings.db
3. Click on system
4. Click on the search icon on top right
5. Type in the word notification in the Filter Value field and click ok
6. Once the results load up, tap on notification_panel_active_app_list (should be the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit
7. In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot <-- just like that, with the three caps, with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon. Once you add WiFiHotspot, click the save button.
8. Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone. Once your phone boots back up, you should now have the Wifi toggle in quick settings like mine below!
Now, to use it, click on the quick panel icon you just made called wifi hotspot. Hit Home so you go to the home screen. Dont go to the Verizon Hotspot icon or the Hotspot configure, just use it like that and it works good. Takes a minute or two to establish internet access after your computer connects but it works, I have confirmed it.
Good write yup bud.... @ForeverSupra says your an OK guy... I guess he's right... Lol

I have to admit that I'm not the most informed when it comes to wifi tethering, so sorry if this is a dumb question...
But does this prevent Verizon from tracking the tethering? The only reason I ask ask is that I still have unlimited.

I tethered this way since I got my Note 3 and been tethering ever since I had my Droid X. I'm unlimited also.
Has anyone tested Foxfi? I have used it with my previous phones when rooted but currently it pops up the Verizon subscription thing. Would I still need to check the "Disable tether provisioning" box in Xposed? Normally I just check the box within Foxfi to start tethering.

doesnt this work without needing to use the quick settings icon? if you disable tether provisioning with wanam, then just open the mobile hotspot app you can click the home button when the "error subscription required" message comes up and tethering should still work

Does anyone know of a way to get the native hotspot working on the Note 4 by adding DUN to the LTE APN's like on the Note 3?
The APN's aren't able to be edited on my Note 4, like I was able to on my Note 3.
Don't want to root my Note 4 yet, but need to get Hotspot back.

I remember before the phone was released, someone claimed to have it working. It was in some thread, I think, I the original development t area.
Another option, you could use WiFi Tether Router. I know it's expensive at around $3.50, actually a little less, but the developer does keep active in keeping it updated and does bug fixes. It's a little slower loading up than native hotspot, but I haven't had issues with the Note 2 once I figured out the settings it needed.
Galaxy tools worked perfect for me
I installed it twice cause it wasnt sticking at reboots on first install of native hotspot.
Now it works fine every time i reboot the only thing is everytime i turn it on i have to go to configure hotspot and advanced settings and put maximum connections to 8 cause it goes back to 1

We got the Native Hotspot hack working for the Sprint note 3 w/ root. It's a simple smali edit. Bet it would work with the note 4 as well. It was the same from note 2- Note 3
