Is there any way I can get openVPN support on the gNex (Specifically the Verizon one). Are there any mods or something out there? I can't seem to find any ROMs that support it.
EDIT: I know I tried out a ROM a while ago that supported it, but I can't seem to remember which one it was

Nooooooo.... you don't even need root to use it anymore. This works so much better than the root alternatives, been using OpenVPN on my phones since I was using a nexus one. after trying pretty much every single possible solution, I found this one to be drastically more stable than anything else, plus you can use it on a totally stock phone.

The root solutions (even my my galaxy nexus) did weird things to my connection and overall stability of the phone itself, usually requiring a reboot to flush the DNS cache or whatever.
For the last month or so, I have been using l2tp/ipsec/psk instead, seems to be miles ahead of openvpn in terms of a "headache-free" experience. I was also suprised to find out that tmobile does not block l2tp/ipsec (at least for me anyways)...of course its also a giant pain in the rear to set up properly.
You need to install openvpn from market:

and the tun.ko modules (rooted device?):

Ok the HTC EVO has the pptp vpn built in under setings>wireless networks now i have it all set up and it connects but when ever i try to access network things it wont do it. as a mater a fact its not even routing any traffic. any ideas???
because it's broken. there are a lot of posts about it. depends on the vpn config. but basically some people can't get it to work at all. some people can get it to work w/o encryption (like me). but it basically just doesn't work. i've heard of some custom roms that have it working. but i think they're the exception.
i set up an ssh server and use connectbot. it's certainly not perfect. but it's better than nothing.
i think it's a problem with android. there's an epic long bug report/feature request begging google to fix it.
I wish that they would intra grate sslvpn on to the android devices now i got that to work but only under cynogenmod and honsetly I do not like that rom at all. Its a problem with the tun.ko driver and froyo making it not work. I havne figured out a work around yet.
Is there an application that could replace the Android VPN?

Different strokes for different folks. There is no need to bash a dev's work and the people who follow it. A simple "I don't like it," works just fine. Personally, CM6 isn't my thing either, but it's like guys who like humongously huge women. I don't get it, but if that's what they like, then so be it.
How far are we from seeing wireless tetherable kernels? Is there a reason we don't see them already? Anything I can do to help? Hope there is a solution soon!
I have no first hand experience (yet) but I thought that Android Wireless Tether worked, you just needed to tell it you were using a Nexus One or some malarkey like that.
You have to set it to ad hoc mode as well...my xoom can't detect it when I do that

wireless tether works fine untill you actually use it...te device thats using the connections gets rdirected to a verizon page prompting you to buy the tethering service. I head this was at the kernel level which would make sense, because my DX, OG Droid, and thunderbolt all tether no problems witout the redirct.

This set-up doesnt work on my R800x. To get it to work I have to set the devise to a CDMA device. If I set it to a GSM devise I cant connect to it. So if anyone else is having an issue getting it to work on the r800x try setting it to a CDMA devise.

I'm on a verizon r800x rooted and I desperately want to use wi fi tethering....for free!
I've tried every combo with the app "Wifi tether" (the main popular one) with regular phone models and "CDMA" models (supposed to be the ones that work) to no avail!
It always clocks in like .4 kbs of data then stops...and then verizon pop up comes up if i try to access internet through the phone....and computer can't even connect to the hotspot

I successfully rooted my A100 a few days after buying it.
Without ROM Manager installed, rooting is almost useless to me.
I want to at least be able to do a Nandroid backup.
Anyone have any success getting Rom Manager and Clockwork Recovery on their A100? If so, how?
Thanks!
+1 from me. I'd love to see a recovery of some sort with nandroid.

Don't get the wrong idea, but I've been hoping to get this tab for Christmas. I've been trying to get familiar with android on my Linux computer and hopefully once I get my tab I can build a recovery. Not making any promises though!

just the fact that you're willing to try is great news.
To the OP, three good reasons to root: AdFree, Titanium Backup, and enabling ad-hoc connections on your Wi-Fi.
If one of you guys want a recovery THAT bad, here is a website that could either teach you to make your own recovery or you could send the tablet to him to make a recovery and he'll send it back. Go here. Thanks to BobZHome for providing the link.
Does anyone know if this device have a locked / encrypted bootloader? I might be able to port cwm to it but if the bootloader is locked I dont think it'll work unless someone finds some way to unlock/decrypt it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Nevermind, answered my own question and the bootloader looks like a pain to crack! This wont be something an average developer could just compile, its not as simple as just looking at a set of build instructions and making it work like shown on koushes site you linked. Someone (smarter than me) will have to figure out how the a100 bootloader works and build a custom recovery based on their findings.
An example of this is the a500 recovery where they are using a custom script to generate an md5 descriptor for the boot image. Like someone said in another thread even the new a500 bootloader that comes with their 3.2 update hasnt been cracked yet.

No OC/UV yet, but as far as wifi tether from phones, I use "Open Garden Wifi Tether" on my rooted thunderbolt to provide internet to my tablet, and my PC at home, even at the same time. You can find it free on the market. Only for rooted phones though. I use my dad's evo shift on occasion when he gets better signal than me, and his is not rooted, using the stock mobile hotspot app.
Oh, and my A100 is not rooted, so you should be able to use it anywhere.

On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus when I first got it the stock wifi tethering setting worked on my stock ICS. Later on I found that it just doesn't work anymore. It will activate and appear to be working and let my laptop connect but the 3G will go away like they have some kind of built in checker.
I did some research and found out that they might have a checking system set up. Well I found out you can still use apps like Foxfi which is great but I was just wondering if there was a stock work around.
They even blocked Foxfi from the market place but you can go to there main site and download it from there.
I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what kind of solutions do they use.
Right now I am using Foxfi which works perfect but I read that you can use a widget like switch pro and create a toggle to switch the portable wifi hot spot without it going through the check.
I do not want to use USB only prefer hot spot.
So please let me know all of your guys types of solutions.

Do what everyone else does....
Root it (you really need to to install any decent app).
Install wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Always install the newest one posted (yes it's beta, but it's rock solid stable).
Which program do you use to flash things? Qdl tool or is that old school? I know there is a power house program for the Nexus but I forgot what it is its on my home computer am I out of town.
So you are saying you have to at least flash the recovery but not the from so its still a little more than FoxFi.
What's a quick step by step process because its been a while since I have flashed things. I use to flash my dell streak all the time until I got my Nexus which I love.
Why did you decide to flash? Is not FoxFi good enough and simple enough?

You just have to be rooted and then install wireless tether.
It will prompt you to allow super user access on first start, allow it and tick the "always allow this action" box.
It's bomb proof....been using it for years on numerous different phones....and numerous different carriers (sprint included).

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!
I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
