I've managed to extract an apk of a (free) application that is restricted to the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, when I try to install this apk on my Galaxy Nexus, it says 'application not installed'. I'm assuming this is because the S3's device ID is integrated into the apk file, which is why the apk installs fine onto the S3 that it was extracted from.
How does one get around this? Surely it's possible, as applications such as Google Wallet are extracted and shared for all devices on the internet within hours of an update. Could somebody give me a guide on how to do this?
Just a thought, install on your s3, titium back up , copy the backup to your GN and install

It's my mother's S3; I can't root it.
Add her email account then go to play store menu and click her email under accounts and her play suite will be on there. Just make sure you don't sync when setting it up or will get all her emails. Then remove her account. app will still be installed and will update. If you flash you'll have to do it again

Is yours rooted? If so, did you try adding into the system apps folder? Make sure you make a backup too

Don't need root. Just add her under accounts on phone. I did it once. My friend had tmobile. I'm sprint. Apps are tied to email account. All you do is switch user in the store and hers will be there and yours won't until you switch back. Get app. Switch back to yours. Go back to phone settings and remove her account.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've just tried it now. Unfortunately, even though the app did show up in the list, I'm getting "your device is not compatible with this version".
What app? just curious.

It's an NFC payment application for my country.
Any new ideas?
Is it even possible to pull files from system folders via ADB command without root?
Isn't there some Apps that can temporary root your device withou actually touch system to root it?
Or why don't you root it and then afterwards unroot it?

I think you will be able to pull this off in a custom recovery.

OK, so I've realised that the apk that I've pulled from the S3 works fine. I had an online friend install it on his phone and it installs perfectly. I then tried installing it on a Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2. Both of those threw up the same error: 'application not installed'. This has lead me to conclude that the apk, and the application, have device checks built-in. It won't install on anything other than an S3.
Does anyone know how to decompile apks to remove these device checks? I know it's possible, but how complicated is it?
Hi guys I really need some help here. Last night I set out to simply find a way to tether wifi from my GS3 for free. From my understanding that required me to root + download tether app with root admin rights. Apparently it appears to be more in depth than that unless I’m missing something simple. I’ll just start by giving you my specs and tell you what I’ve done so far. Sorry for the long post.
Sprint
Galaxy S3
SPH-L710
JellyBean 4.3
Hardware L710.14
Stock kernel and rom
Followed the steps in this link to root it. It pretty much walks me through using Odin to root the phone. Looks like it also installs SuperSU for superuser access. I like the fact that it’s not too invasive, which is great because I simply want wifi tethering and am not looking for a custom kernel or rom. http://honai-android.blogspot.com/20...-sph-l710.html
Supersu
When I start the phone it says “Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped”
Downloaded the apk, ran it, launched ok, asked me to disable knox and said yes, rebooted phone, got same msg that supersu stopped, runs fine after install apk but fails after every reboot. Maybe knox is screwing with it?
No supersu update on the play store
Regardless I installed root checker and says the device has root access…
I downloaded a bunch of tethering apps I thought had root access but none actually enabled tethering.
Foxfi
When I use CDMA only (used this for troubleshooting purposes) Launch Foxfi, activate wifi hotspot, “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”’
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
When I cancel out of that popup it says FoxFI hotspot ready and has the wifi icon on the notification bar but can’t find the wifi network on devices
Also it never requests superuser
1 click wifi tethering free
Launch, click enable, the notification bar says hotspot connected but then I get the same error “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”, still can’t see the network on other devices
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Also it never requests superuser
Wifi Tether TrevE Mod v3.3
Launch, opens fine, asks for superuser access, click button to enable tethering, get an error in the app that says “tethering started with errors! Please check ‘show log’”
Clicking show log gives me an error of “Unable to open log file. File does not exist.”
It still shows a message “Tethering is currently running…” under the “ongoing apps” section but still can’t find wifi network on other devices
Jtether
Launch, “says turning Wifi AP on” requests superuser access, eventually gets to the same message that says “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Oddly when I launch Jtether with FoxFI on I can see the FoxFI network for literally 1 second, but not long enough to connect. This only happens when I use CDMA only. When I use LTE/CDMA it never shows up at all.
.
I’ve uncovered a lot of issues but I don’t know where to start troubleshooting. Do I start with SuperSU errors or can they be omitted? Do I start with FoxFI error troubleshooting? Maybe start with finding out why TrevE’s tether mod has errors but log file can’t be found? Maybe the root method I used wasn’t ‘deep’ enough? If so what method should I use? I thought this would be way easier but hours and hours later, here I am with no wifi tethering. I hope you guys can help.
Thnx in advance!
Use the odexed mk3 file from here. (You will need a custom recovery to install. )

Thanks for the quick reply! What exactly is this file? Is it a new kernel? Or does it simply edit the configurations relating to tethering? Also can I go back to 100% stock after flashing it?
Also will this prevent me from being able to update the OS via Samsung push updates?

It is not new firmware. It's just a modified services.jar file. Since it's a hack, you will not be 100% stock after installing it. (You can get back to it by restoring the stock files (.jar and .odex files).

Awesome. Ok I installed CWM and I'm about to download the MK3 Odex file. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to "flash" it within the app. Wish me luck!

Worked like a CHARM! Thanks so much for the help! You have no idea
Upgrading to 7.1.1. kills your ability to use the old Network Signal Refresh trick to quickly enable your hotspot. The fix for this is now to just pop out your simcard, and when you stuff it back in, immediately activate your hotspot in settings. What I'm doing is just keeping the simcard "key" inbetween my phone and my case, so when I need to activate my hotspot it's a quick pop out pop in throw the switch. 5 seconds max from start to finish and I'm up and running.
I upgraded to 7.1.1. right away w/ out even looking at the forums and learned the hard way that they killed off the non-root method of tethering (Network Signal Refresh)
I believe they also killed of the airplane mode to tether trick as well as I had that down and now it isn't working for me at all.
Pop out the sim, shove it back in, flip the tether switch and your in business.
You may now hit the "Thanks" button lol :angel:
This trick isn't working for me...I'm able to turn on hotspot once I put the SIM card back in but as soon as LTE is about to pop up, it shuts off my hotspot. Sigh...had I only known, I wouldn't have updated..
You are a lifesaver!

It's a timing issue. I had trouble the first few tries too but I can confirm that it worked. Pop in Sim first and immediately activate hotspot.
Thread scrubbed clean.
This thread isn't about the definition of "unlimited data", this thread is intended to be a guide to fix an issue. If you dont find it useful just dont post? Remember to stay respectful to everyone on this site.
Thanks

Reboot your phone and try again. Pretty much w/ in less than half a second of snapping the SIM card back into place I hit the tether button and it turns on and stays on.
I can confirm this works. Hotspot has been running since yesterday.
Anyone find a software fix for this yet? Glad we have a solution, but would love to not have to pop my sim out all the time!

if rooted just do the build.prop edit
Work around
Go to the pdanet icon (bottom right) with your phone tethered to your computer,
left click on the icon and choose "Wifi Share (Beta)
another authentication (activation) window appears and will ask for a Wifi name and password
activate and your wifi network should be activated and accessible.
Hope this works for others.

Yeah, that's what I finally went ahead and did. Build.prop edit complete. Hotspot working flawlessly again.
New update - update?
The last update killed the network refresh workaround, does the newest update kill the SIM card trick? Scared to update.

Can you provide a link with full instructions on how to do this?
With 6.0 I used to follow these rough instructions but they don't seem to be working anymore...
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-bullhead.img
adb pull /system/build.prop
add following to build.prop with txteditor: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
adb reboot

The kernel now had dm-verity that will revert any changes to /system that you make. Rooting disables dm-verity and allows modifications to /system to "stick."
I just got my Pixel. It's running 7.1.1 NMF26U.
Like many others, I want to bypass the check and get tethering hotsopt to work but I am afraid to do anything that might cause Android Pay to stop working.
I have been trying to get the SIM pop method to work without success. It does enable Hotspot and stay enabled. I can get computers to connect to the SSID. They do get a 192.168.43.x IP address. They can ping the 192.168.43.1 hotspot GW IP. However they cannot ping anything on the Internet nor do DNS lookups. No throughput to the Internet at all. The phone shows Hotspot running and it shows I have LTE signal. The Pixel itself has working Internet via LTE while Hotspot is on. I've also rebooted the Pixel and tried several more times with the same results.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
Are there any ways to edit build.prop that does not involve doing something that would kill Android Pay?
Thanks.

Are you running a VPN for adblocking without root? If so, turn it off while tethering. Just a guess.

No VPN. Basically fresh out of the box phone.
Having a problem as well, up until I got the Pixel I was able to use unlimited tethering on tmobile by adding ",dun" you the apn. This no longer works. Any workaround?

Hi guys,
I'm getting a problem related to the chinese variant.
-Google assistant won't stay the default assist app.
-Access with voice match is greyed out.
-when i make google the default assist app, google is greyed out as seen in the third screenshot.
-weirdly enough i don't have default assist app anywhere in settings, I can only access it from google (first screeshot)
I already have disabled breeno stuff and some chinese stuff except breeno space.
I tried some solutions online from deleting cache to re-installing google, but the issue is rom related.
What i haven't tried is unlocking bootloader and rooting then making the assistant a system app. So what I'm trying to say is did anyone have it working like a charm, and how??
Sorry for the long issue.
Can anyone help, this is quite popular
its possible, if u have root access and unlock bootloader.

Hey does this activates access with voice match too??
Hello there,
I am looking for a way to activate airplane mode at night. Just now i found out that on Android11 you can enable root access via adb. That way afaik i can give permissions to apps, like WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.
I tried this with the app "Auto Airplane Mode" from F-Droid, but it didn't work - although in the quick-settings-panel the airplane mode got marked as activated, it really wasn't - the status bar didn't show airplane mode but the usual connections and calling s/o was still working.
So, my question is this:
I there a way to automatically switch airplane mode on my unrooted S9 with LOS ?
Ok, so thats my problem. I would love to hear some insights from you,
kind regards,
d4foasta
PS: yeah, i know, Rooting would enable me to do so, but i want to try and keep it unrooted.

Seems to be not take easy without root.
But I found a thread where somebody stated that he got it working on an unrooted device ... using tasker and some plugins:
Is there any way to programmatically turn on airplane mode on non-rooted android?
I used to use Tasker tasks to turn airplane mode on and off automatically when I needed it. Now, it seems, this requires root. But rooting my phone bans me from using Android Pay or any other Safet...
