Cool. Thanks. I found this on another forum about and hour ago. Thanks for the response, though! I tested it with my buddy's iPhone and it works great.

good find guys took only about a minute in all to get it going! and works great

Is there a wired tether app just like this? Something other than pdanet or easy tether?

wireless tether
Can somebody help me out? I have read all the posts and I still cannot figure out why my wireless tether for visionary temp rooted g2 won't work. It installed fine and seems to be working, but I cannot see the signal on any of my other devices.
Thanks

Have you restarted since you installed VISIONary? if so click the icon and if it says device already rooted then it should work fine. I am thinking your device is not rooted.

When I first rooted my phone 2-3 days ago, I didn't think I would need Titanium backup. I thought I could manage with App Control. Now, I've factory reset my device twice. Once to get rid of the longer tempt root as it was not allowing me the use 1-click root. Second time was because my stock messenger wouldn't stop showing the notification in the taskbar. Yes, I turned off notification in the setting menu. The first reset I used App Control, it was a pain. I had to install all the apps one by one, and no system data was saved. The second time around I had just saved all my apps and system data using Titanium Backup. With just a few clicks I had all my apps reinstalled and data was all back. Now as I play around with Titanium, I noticed features like "lapels" which makes backing up only system apps with data (green) and user apps easy. I also learned it's best to pony up the $6 to be able to get multiple backups should you need it. If anyone ever used restore points in windows you could surely see the benefits of having multiple backups.
Now that I have a general knowledge of Titanium Backup, I'd like to erase all my backs and start over. Unfortunately I don't know where I could find my...backups...and delete them. I've tried the batch/delete all, to no avail. I might just have to erase from the sdcard or make another folder.
Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend you get Titanitum Backup. It doesn't matter if it's the free or paid one.
I did notice that it didn't save my launcher (pro) profile setting, ex. icons, and what not. It also doesn't save the data within the app, ex. I lost all my Angry Bird progress. But, I don't think the Titanium Backup is able to save such info, yet.

wireless tether shoot me and titanum are the best and seem only good ones for non developers

GOOD ROOT APP! Hot Reboot
I found one the other day called "Hot Reboot". Its like quickboot only it adds one great feature... fast rebooting. Its not a system reset like many other fast rebooters but it actually reboots the phone in an insanely fast speed. Its about $1 on the market and worth ever penny. At least try it out... its great for people who use a lot of apps and they reside on the sdcard which makes booting slow. And good for impatient folks

for the ones who was able to get the wifi tethering working, I have used VISIONary temp root set on auto at boot and installed the tethering app on this post, I get the "Not Root" message saying "Sorry, but your kernel does not have all the necessary features for running this application." Anybody got a clue? I am not familiar with adb manual installation. Thank you!

[Q] Sprint hotspot app?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

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.

[Q] Thinking of moving from i4 to SIII - quick question

Hi All,
I currently have a Jail Broken i4. The only reason I bought this phone was the app MyWi, that allows me to tether using infrastructure mode and my standard data plan.
I HATE the i4. I really do. I need a new phone as the home button has been mucked up for a few weeks now.
If I read the forums correctly, I can root a new S3 following the instructions here - {HOWTO}{ROOT} No Tripping....
I assume this will leave me with the same operating system that came with the phone just rooted. (Please correct me if I'm wrong).
Here is my question.
The above statement being true, what is the best (Free or paid) WiFi Tethering app available for android that will allow me to use my standard data plan instead of purchasing a separate data plan for tethering? Please note, I can not use AdHoc mode. It must be infrastructure.
I have done some searching and this App looks promising. (Android-wifi-tethering-for-root-users)
Thanks all,
-NJ

Hi mate.
Yes after rooting your firmware will be exactly the same.
Kernel might change though depending on what root method you use.
There are lots of tethering apps out there.
My favourite is an app by Chainfire .
There will be plenty of info on here about it if you search "wifi tether chainfire"

I don't know what to say about that line of yours that I quoted.
I really hope you didn't pay for that tweak and that a friend shared it with you.
I'm a GS3 owner and lover, but iOS and the iPhone 4 was a great phone. (I was a previous iOS fan)
All platforms are fundamentally equally bad and good.
Android isn't without its issues, nor is iOS, Windows Phone, BalckBerry or WebOS (RIP).
Once you root the GS3 though you can simply CWM flash a MOD to remove the restriction AT&T imposed on the tethering functions.
Personally though, TouchWiz and AT&T muck up the awesomeness of this delightful device. If I were you, i'd look into flashing a custom ROM which typically doesn't have any tethering restrictions.

Device debloat seems to have screwed a few things up

First, the device no longer displays my google+ backed up photos in my galary. Before, it was under a album named picasa. It doesnt come up with anything else when I select "add online service" except for facebook. Second, there exists a mobile hotspot toggle in my toggles menu. THis no longer pulls up anything. Is their a way to edit what toggles show up? Is their a way to readd mobile hotspot?
Thanks!

The VZW hotspot is an extra fee each month, so I wouldn't worry about it. As for the Google+, just a side effect of the debloat.

Is their any way to return the picasa album to my gallary?

Hotspot is an added fee for everybody, but you can use your own from the play store for free.

Is their any way to reinstall the sense gallery app or maybe the picasa app?I used to have a nexus and it would show up with a folder called auto backup that had all my google+ backed up photos. Any idea how to get this back? Also every time I boot my phone it goes through the optimizing all thing that happened when I flashed the debloat zip. Any idea how to stop that?

Hate to tell you otherwise, but I am on a tiered plan and have used it since the outcome of the lawsuit without being charged (assuming I don't bust my 8 gigs).
Prior to the lawsuit if you tried it the PC/tablet/WiFi client would enter their captive portal. Now the only people who get that are unlimited data customers.

Did you do a nandroid back up before you debloated? You could restore that (if you did).

Unfortunately no (idiot I know). Does anyone have access to the sense apk file?

If you know what apk you are looking for you could download the stock rom, and get a copy of the apk from there. Also with Sense there isnt just one apk file, there are many files that make the Sense UI work.

How to use wifi hotspot with root and xposed

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

Hotspot works out of the box.
All you do is configure it then turn it on. A verizon window will pop up, DONT click cancel, just click the home button and you are set.

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
