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.
I am just waiting
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.

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.

Can you overclock and underclock this tab? And also can wireless tether from my phone work on this? Or is there a special thing you have to do in order for it to work? I would like to use it anywhere I went...
I haven't messed around with ad hoc stuff, but I can tell you we can't OC until we have an OC kernel.

I have connected to the web with this tablet through both an HTC Inspire running Cyanogen Mod and my new Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket running stock.

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.

How do you create profiles???
You need to be rooted and install setcpu, you can't over clock but you can under clock and set profiles which will let you save battery while doing things like listening to music and reading ebooks.

My parents need to need to lock up my phone so I have no Internet access, not even wifi. Is there an app that anyone can develop or if there is one already that cannot have data cleared or force stopped? Please tell me as soon as possible.
Let me explin it better again sorry to bump this.. I need somthing that can lock wifi and i have no root but like lock it so no internet access at all and need a pasword to lock it.. But maybe also a phone watcher that monitors? But not text monitor.

Go on the play store and browse. There is an app that can lock other apps without root with a password.

Doesn't Sprint offer stuff like that through your contact.

No it doesn't. Wifi is internal on the Android System. And I have no root and I won't root it because of warranty. :/ So that means I can't use a rom with a wifi bug !! :/
Yeah app locker I saw but my dad said no wifi :/
What don't they just put a new password on the WiFi and disable your internet?
Yea too bad you can't root. But the only warranty it voids is HTC's, so it doesn't really matter since if something happens, it goes through your insurance usually.
Rooting= get stock Rom, remove all WiFi modules and files from kernel and Rom, problem solved.

Maybe I am thinking to technical. But you should be able to set your home modem with a MAC filter so that you are blocked on WiFi. I would suggest an ip filter but that normally comes with ups and downs as your phone will look for a new ip later. If you can get your folks to just set up a MAC filter then they can shut down the internet at certain times when you are not allowed to have it and it will function when you are allowed. I do this with my son, all his devices even his xbox get no internet access after 9:30. Every new device he brings home I lock it down. But thats just me.

Just get the app locker and have your parents set their own password, and turn off WiFi and mobile data. Only bad thing is is that you'll be locked out of the entire settings menu. Also, I understand how you feel, I'm 14 years old. Lol. Good luck!

One would assume if he can't have wifi at home then he probably can't have it anywhere else? So locking the Mac would only work at home, kinda defeats the purpose?

I am staying at a hotel where
1. My mobile data plan doesn't work (another country)
2. I paid 30 to have one device (my note II) get internet
3. I learned that I cannot run hotspot and wifi at the same time
How can I share my internet with other devices? Can thos even be done?
Thanks

Bluetooth tethering is a setting on the rom you are using. It cannot be enabled via app. Its been a while since I messed with my Bluetooth tethering but I can tell you it works very well. I don't have a link handy.
The main advantage is it is very low power. The connection is very seamless as well.

By rom, are you referring to a rooted phone? If so, I don't have a rooted phone. I guess I will consider this for my next trip.

If you get internet on your one device then your easiest option is to get internet on your laptop and then create a hotspot on your laptop.
If your laptop is running windows 7 then you can follow the instructions from here.

Hey guys, i got a question about the Wifi tethering on the Xperia S.
is it possible to show the connected devices via an app or with the system himself, when i have Wifi tethering on? i don't want to look everytime in the dnsmasq.leases file or what it calls.
Just password protect it with wpa2 and you should be more then secure

Good question.
WiFi is seen as off when WiFi tethering is enabled, so applications like Fing and WiFi Analyzer just see the WiFi interface as down.
You have to have 'conventional' WiFi disabled and WiFi thethering enabled, so this would only be a short term config under a controlled environment in most cases.
It's true WPA2 and a password does provide good basic security, but....
I have an old XPERIA X10i with a 64GB mircroSD card which could make a short to long term mobile NAS and in such an environment where many people are using your hotspot "NAS" for documents, music and/or videos access/streaming, knowing if someone is using it before disabling the service may be helpful.
So, I too, would be interested if there is an app that sees the tethered interface and the network connections using it.
I have done little reaserch and came up with this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing&hl=en
try it

Interesting. How did you enable and view the tethered interface when Fing only monitors wlan0?
I didnt, i only search on google. Some guys were report they use this app for that action
I actually saw it on the Galaxy S3 which has tethering enabled and shows the connected devices. so i think it can be done if we port the tethering app from the galaxy s3 to the XS. after that it should work.. maybe.. =D
btw. i tested the app and it didn't work.. :/
Just curious, can you instal that app on second phone and conect to host, can you then look which devices are conected to it?

Except that when I look in the /system/app directory in the phone, I don't see a HotspotProvision.apk existing file there. So I don't know how Sprint does tethering.

Check the g2 forum again. If you're using the app trying unsubscribing then check again. I had to force stop and cleared cache too because I didn't see it at first either.

I got wireless tether w/Treve mod to run without the provisioning message....i just can't get it to show an SSID to clients. It's apparently pretty common with this app, still playing with it.

I am not sure if the TreveMod is going to help. I have encountered your situation before where when you activate the wifi tether, everything looks good and dandy but the thing is it never broadcasts the SSID. I guess continue tweaking all the settings and let us know if you can get it working.

The wifi treve-mod is what bimmerdood has been testing with. This treve-mod doesn't seem to work on 2013 smartphones. It may appear that the mod works because it will attempt to start a wifi tether session on your phone but it doesn't broadcast the SSID of your phone to say your laptop or tablet to connect to.

How did you get this to work? I don't care if the SSID is broadcast or not, as long as it works still.
Morning. Rooted now so figure it's time to get on this.
As it seems others have done I want to try the wifi tether that I have on the N2 and see what happens.
I'll post updates as I get moving on this.

Yeah, i found lots of instances in my searches where the SSID wouldn't broadcast. We press on!
OK, using the Wifi Tether - TrevE Mod - Auto model....
Everything seems to work except setting ad-hoc mode. Data is working but wifi not visible.
Let me play around with it a little more.
I know it's been said already but it seems something - whether in wpa_supplicant or F/W - is blocking ad-hoc mode.
I'm going to keep poking around in the time I have left today.
Well, not sure if this is progress.
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd
Starts with no errors but can't see it. Can't see a signal either in Wifi Analyzer.
Can someone point me to this TrevE-Mod everyone is talking about? Id like to download it.
