[Q] ad hoc wifi searching for working app - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello,
i am searching for a working app, to activate ad hoc wifi connection at my nexus 7 (2013), to my pc. Ad hoc from pc to pc works fine (twice running ubuntu linux). Only my nexus is not able to find this connection.
My Nexus has Jelly Bean 4.3 and it's rootet.
I tested some apps but all doesn't work, at this moment.
Does someone know a solution?
greetings

Hi guys,
As the title suggest , is there an ad-hoc support for the gn?

any answer????
Openen Hotspot with Connectify
-Nokia E51 connects (with and without encryption)
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't even show the hotspot.
adding the network manually is not working either

i tired every app and method available with no luck
i think the solution is to add ad-hoc support
I think the default wpa-supplicant doesn't support adhoc. We need to replace it with one that supports. I don't know if someone has made/fixed it yet. Still waiting for it as well.
Ad.Hoc
did you manage to connect through Ad.Hoc? I cannot find Adhoc in my Galaxy Note!! Can we enable AdHoc on Note?
Also need to use adhoc but my Nexus doesn't detect any...
i will try tonight,as i has my laptop at my GF's house.and wont be there until tonight .
but yha. if nobody has posted til than.
than be sure to watch out for my post
Btw,did any one of you guys try wifi direct?
im kinda unsure what it really does.
Did some search in Google and previous NEXUS had the same problem some users were telling to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin but I think the one they where providing its not compatible with SGN.
As someone already said, I am not even able to see the an adhoc wifi network with my Galaxy Nexus.
My device is rooted but so far I did not find an easy solution to enable adhoc wifi.
However the same adhoc network works perfectly with an EEEpad transformer, so apparently the wifi client is already modified in the Asus tablet.
Has there been any update to this? Been searching this site and others and it doesn't seem like a wpa-supplicant file that can see Ad-hoc networks has been created yet.
I use Connectify - works pefectly.
Supposedly the 4.0.2 update should bring ad-hoc support.
I'm eagerly awaiting the roll-out... (Should have happened ages ago, but somehow it's taking quite a while to propagate everywhere.)
I suppose you could always go ahead and flash your own ROM, but personally I prefer to wait for the official OTA update.
I'm using a 4.0.3 ROM and before that had stock 4.0.2 and no ad hoc support was/is available. There is Wifi Direct which acts like ad hoc but that only works with other Wifi Direct devices.

Oh, Bother!
I was betting on 4.0.2 to solve this, but as you say, it appears that it's only the wifi-direct that frequently gets billed as 'ad-hoc-like' connection.
Is there any other way to enable ad-hoc connections?
Apparently on other devices there exist modified wpa_supplicant files that enable ad-hoc, but so far I haven't seen anything for the GN.

Unfortunately I'm running XP (yeah I know ) here at the office so Connectify won't work - no access point connections on XP.
any possible solution?
Use bluetooth to connect to your computer and share your internet connection with your phone.
I've tried it on windows xp.

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc Enabler on the market, it require Root and it works grate for me, now i can see and connect to any ad hoc connection.

[APP] Multi-Way Tethering app ?

Hi,
I searched the forum but i couldnt find an answer to my question.
My laptop just got hackintoshed and im waiting for a compatible wifi card, so it doesnt have wifi at all.
So I'm looking for an app that could make my tether my home wifi network to my laptop via USB (on OSX Lion and Win7 if possible) .
All the apps that i found lets you tether you cellular network or tether via wifi..
If someone could help
Take a look at the tethering options ... I have a USB option (it might be ROM specific (I'm using Revolution HD 4.1.5)
You can try Wired Tether (Google search, not in Market) or the new tethering app by Koush..
I just tested USB tethering to my windows 7 machine. The built in USB tether used my wifi connection to stream netflix to my computer
Unfortunately, it will not work on mac as far as I know...
Koush's tether app!
