***Sticky this please
Check out this application I put together. It is a simple stand alone app for true tethering over wifi, you must have a rooted phone for this app to work....
http://www.androidactivity.com/tetherWifi.html
The main purpose of this thread is to discuss issues with the application. For instructions on how to use it read the webpage from the link above.
Good deal will try it out as soon as i get sp3, is it compatible with new update? thanks for this!
Any chance of making this open source?
If it just uses the same method as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474470 then it would be pretty helpful for those of us trying to make a frontend to command line applications.

Pretty Please... I do appreciate the effort and at that same time, I like to know what I am giving root access to. But, really - I'd like to be able to modify it to my own network environment. I like to customize the dnsmasq.conf a bit for my own peace of mind...
Thanks again, this is the beginning of a great piece of work...
This is really nice!!! The old way with terminal was getting old. Thanks!!!!
Could you have a status icon at the top toolbar to show that the tethering service is active?
Tested, worked flawlessly. Unscecured, of course, but freakin' sweet if you can't get another network. Tried this from my house, worked great on 3g. Work VPN functioned w/o issue.
Nice! Confirmed working with Vista laptop.
I'd like to also voice support for open sourcing this-- or for removing the root requirement if you could get that worked out. I am very appreciative that you've pulled this together but at the same time feel reluctant to install any software that will be running under root that isn't signed or at least has the source code available.
Keep up the great work!
please add an option to change ssid, and settings, and we definately gotta find a way to secure the wifi
I just made a couple bug fixes and put up a new version this morning.
This is still beta and I am looking into making a lot more things configurable.
Right now it is not secure. It only will DHCP out one IP, but it does NAT forward the whole range of 10.0.1.X
I understand everybody's concern about making it open source for root access, at this moment I am not going to make it open source. I would like to figure out a way to make it work without root in the future, but if I cannot I may make it open source.
This may help you out with your concerns, this is what the application does:
-it unpacks files to the /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi/ directory only on the first run of the application, installing an upgrade of my app will re-unpack the latest files in this directory. a chmod of 744 is done to all of these files.
-manual configuration of dnsmasq.conf, tiwlan.ini, etc.. can be done by modifying these files in this directory. You need to run my application once before modifying, so that these files get unpacked. If you ever upgrade my app, make sure you back up these files before upgrading, because on upgrade my app will overwrite these files.
-when you hit start, i disable wifi if it is on and then run the tether.sh start script.
-when you hit stop, i run the tether.sh stop script, I also enable the wifi back if i had disabled it before running start.
-to see what tether.sh start and stop does, take a look at the /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi/tether.sh file

I doubt it needs service pack 3. I just confirmed it working on my machine which has service pack 3.
My bluetooth tethering app, on the other hand, works better with service pack 3, and I do recommend upgrading if you are going to use that app.

The gtether application clashes with the ****ty superuser application on the JF releases... it's unusable for me. However, Moussam's works fine.
With GTether, everytime I try and connect my PC - it just goes into an endless loop of approving the super user access, even if you select "Always" it just doesn't work. Which is a shame, because GTether is clearly a better application.
I found the same issue with the endless loop with Super user.

Well, the GTether application isn't even Open Source. The SVN for it has no code and the downloadable "source code" is just a gzipped .apk file.
Also, the Super User app is far from ****ty. It is the only thing protecting your phone from people releasing apps on the market targeting rooted users. If someone released an app on the market that ran su without your approval, they could wreak havoc on your phone and potentially brick it.

Everybody, do your homework first before you start making stupid comments. First off gtether is not an open source app. My app is simpler and more stable. Gtether is also a good application, but I wanted to create something that had everything packed up into one install without having to run any shell commands.
I do not have the bells and whistles yet, but I am working on them, this is just a beta release.

Well, no. The source tgz has all the components of the tether-1.6 app in it, in additional to the apk file (for whatever reason). I suppose you could argue the iptables source isn't present in the file, but that is available elsewhere.
And apps that run su with your approval are just as likely to brick/rootkit.
Well by "source" I am referring to the actual source code used for the .apk file which is run on Android. That's the part which is installed as an application and is actually using the binaries from the tether-1.6 kit as root and running in the background to notify when new users connect.
Also, when I say that SuperUser protects your phone, I'm assuming that people will actually do research before allowing an app to user root privileges and will block an app which has no need to use root whatsoever.

if it makes everybody more comfortable i can post the script files that are run in my app. su is only needed to run these script files. these files are unpacked into /data/data/com.androidactivity.tetherWifi on the first run of this application and can even be altered to whatever config you want afterwards. su access is not needed until you hit start or stop. if you are concerned install my app and run it and dont grant su access and you will be able to see the unpacked script files in the dir i mentioned, and even alter them if you want.
This app is currently in an alpha release, the AlternateOuyaStore app. This will basically do the same thing that the windows version does, except this one you can run right on the Ouya itself. Like I said this is fairly early, it doesn't look nice, but it does give you a list of all the games with game images (just like the windows one) and you can download the game apks. The download shows up in the notification area and you install it just like side loading any other app, except these ones are recognized by official Ouya Store! I tested and basically developed this thing on cm10 and it seems stable there. Had issues running it on my old HTC one x though...
So if you run into any issues please post below so they can make it into the next commit!
Usage:
1) Tap/click the "Get List" button. (this will load the list)
2) Select a game from the list. (this will put the game title in the textbox next to the download button)
3) Tap/click the "Download" button. (this will start the download for the apk file) Due to the game changing as you thumb-stick through the games though I find it easiest to just use the touch pad to tap download. Annoying... so this is on my list.
4) Either tap the completed apk download in your notification or go to you default download location and tap the apk file.
5) Play the game! You can also play through the official Ouya Store Play menu( as the biggest issue was getting the Discover area to load on CM10)
For now the download is basically done by sending the download url as an intent, which then launches whatever you have as your default browser. This saves me from having to have extra permission like saving to storage and progress bars and a whole mess of stuff that I will get to later but don't want to worry about right now.
To Do list:
- Better GUI
- Sort list functions
- Generalize functions to reduce coupling with the main activity.
- Add internal download and install functionality
I'm releasing this under the GNU GPL so have at'er!
Github-
https://github.com/ProfessorPopTart/AlternateOuyaStoreProject
(This is my first android app so go easy on the code sloppiness! lol)
For the non-coders that just want to try it out, the install apk can also be found in the AlternateOuyaStore folder in the link above.
Irc FreeNode #ouya-dev
Sounds Kool will give a try
you know what really sucks is that I saw this at 5oclock this morning an hour before I gotta go to work. I WANNA PLAY
Just downloaded, Checking this out now! The Ouya store needed this type of sorting VERY badly! thanks for the efforts
I'll try again later tonight but I was having issues downloading apps with this? So I got an issue the source is built with the odk I feel like an a$$ for saying this. But I ain't touching the odk with a ten foot stick for a couple months. Honestly I've done a bit of theming, hacking and phone flashing but all of that was either hacking apks, building them from android source or with the android sdk. Right now I'm learning how to straight up code android and don't want to mess up my machine with the odk (some old school themers know what I'm talking about).
So about a half an hour ago I set this up on eclipse and got it up and running made a few changes so far. I haven't tested on my ouya yet but ran it on my phone (htc evo 4g lte) to make sure that the array list would work. It does but it doesn't download. I changed the screenorientation in the manifest because on screen orientation it resets. It's a temp fix that does work but later we'll have to do something about handling runtime changes a little bit better.
On a side note I made a webview that goes to the ouya update site. Eventually I want it to go to the site download the text as a string checks it against our build.prop and if different then it downoads the url (update zip) to your device to install. I can't give a time frame right now on how fast this will take right now I'm working six days a week 10 hrs a day at universal building project 722. But this stuff isn't on the shelf.
Expect a new release around 9pm eastern.
Here we go
update 1
added a sort function so that the list is alphabetical
changed name to simply "the store"
added icon to appear in ouya launcher ( I hope it works)
no more clicking buttons to download list it starts automatically
added a counter in top of screen that displays the number of apps available
when you click the list it automatically downloads the app
think thats it
problems
the only problem I have is that it doesn't display the icons a custom adapter is required for that.
Ui needs some more work but it takes time
source code here https://github.com/asadullahibnrob/AlternateOuyaStore
Alright this update is a little back and forth.
I removed the counter and lost the the ability to sort the apps (temporarily).
But gained a nice big picture but need to add a cache to get to run smooth.
Not really excited LOL.
Source code here https://github.com/asadullahibnrob/theStore. Any questions comments or complaints let me have em.
Hey guys,
I have tried both apps. I appreciate the effort you are putting to this. Both application are in very early development, but in the right track!
A note to both apps
When you click a paid app (with no free trial) i.e. Towerfall, the app crashes. I believe this is because when you request the data for that app, it won't return a download URL as expected, and i assume you guys are not validating this .
I recommend that you mark which apps aren't free for download, and either do nothing when clicked or redirect to app's official entry on the original app store.
Keep up the good work :good:
That's my fault I'll see if I can fix it today. ........
EDIT: Actually i was wrong kinda they changed the auth token to something else. I glance through their code and didn't see anythng in the ouya oobe.apk I'm wondering if they give one to each user. But maybe I could set it up so that it goes to the info page so that you can send it to your ouya.
Hey guys just a heads up I'm gonna working 7 days a week 12 hours a day for a few weeks.
Alright everyone, I'm Trailblazer101, an Android Developer who likes to take advantage of, and make better, the unique features of the phones I purchase. I started off with the Samsung Continuum back in 2010, which had a ticker ahead of its time, and went from there. I work 2 jobs, so time is tight sometimes, but I still manage to work on these things, a fun passion/hobby.
Status Updates
Code:
5/12
--- I got my patch working, and tested it out with a simple demo that takes advantage of the new capabilities. I've posted a Guide below!
5/10
--- Now that Verizon users have root, I will begin testing this myself :) Thanks to those who helped me figure out what we'd have to do, so I can get started right off the bat! I'll keep you posted.
What is this?!!
Okay, so by default the Feeds that you can make are restricted to the capabilities of a RemoteView. This severely limits what you can do with the Feed. Take a look here to see what exactly is supported, by default: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16089389
However, any Samsung App (which includes a few signed by Samsung on the Galaxy Apps Exclusives page) has the ability to put whatever it wants on the screen, just like a regular App. I've now extended that invitation on over to you/us!
Guide
The steps to take advantage of this is a little convoluted, so let me break it down for you easy!
STEP 1:
You have to flash my patch to allow this development to actually work. You can download it here: View attachment Trailblazer101_S6Edge_Advanced_Feeds_Patch.zip. Then flash it using FlashFire, or extract the zip and put everything where it needs to go, making sure to set the permissions appropriately!
STEP 2:
Now you can start developing your new Custom Feed! I would suggest using my simple demo project as your base, and going from there! You can find that here: View attachment EdgeScreen-BACKUP.zip. Extract it and take a look at the source!
STEP 3:
From here on out is where things get tricky... Without changing a thing, if you build from source and try to debug, it won't work. Why? Because the API that Samsung gives developers, like us, is different than the one they use for themselves. So Here's what you gotta do-- without changing a thing, build the Project. The best way to do that without debugging within Android Studio is to go to Gradle Projects -> :app -> Tasks -> build -> assembleDebug. This'll make the built apk and put it within "..\.EdgeScreen-BACKUP\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk".
STEP 4:
I'm assuming you have the latest Java Development Kit, and Android SDK, installed and configured properly, with their paths in the PATH variable, accordingly. You should also know how to use apktool for decompilation, at least a little I've compiled a toolkit folder based off of the test Project I shared above, which includes apktool, the NEW Samsung API files, the original built apk, and the already modified decompiled source/apk. You can download that here: View attachment Decompilation_Data.zip. Then, open a Command Prompt window and "cd" to the extracted folder.
STEP 5:
Decompile the built apk, which should be the same as the one in the extracted folder, using apktool like this:
Code:
.\apktool\apktool d -f TestFeed_orig.apk
STEP 6:
Compare the decompiled folder "TestFeed_orig" with my already modified "TestFeed_modded" one. I suggest using WinMerge! You'll see that the 'TestFeed_orig\smali\com\samsung\android\sdk' folder is very different. That's what I was talking about before, how Samsung Feeds have more options in their API. So delete the 'TestFeed_orig\smali\com\samsung' folder, and replace with the one in the '---SAMSUNG API---' folder.
STEP 7:
Continue comparing the two folders. Basically the rest of the changes are just getting our application to call the new Samsung API properly, instead of the stubs I was using in the Project. There aren't many changes you have to make, but they're all important!
STEP 8:
Once the two folders are the same, recompile it using apktool, like so:
Code:
.\apktool\apktool b TestFeed_orig
STEP 9:
Sign the new compiled apk stored in 'TestFeed_orig\dist' using your signing key. You can make your own, then use it to sign the app, following the instructions here: Official Instructions for Manual Signing.
STEP 10:
Install the newly signed apk, and enable the Feed by going to: Settings-> Edge screen -> Information stream -> Manage Feeds -> *ENABLE* FeedsCocktailExample! You may have to restart, or just hit 'reorder' in the top left. That sometimes fast-triggers it. Now turn off the screen, do the Feed Gesture to get it to turn on, and you should see our Custom Feed! It doesn't look like much, but it's using a custom view, HorizontalTextView, that would not work otherwise.
From here the options are endless. You can follow these steps and my Sample Project to play a video for a feed, if you wanted! Whatever strikes your fancy!
If you followed these steps and appreciate the help, show this thread some love, and maybe. Well i'd say buy me a beer, but it'll probably go to textbooks instead
Developer/Advanced Information!
We can make our own Feeds no problem, without root, they are just forced to use a RemoteView directly, which for all intents and purposes, is a pain in the kiester. Instead, it would be a lot nicer/convenient, without even mentioning the more advanced functionality we could bring, to use our own Views. However the version of SlookCocktailManager.UpdateCocktail that allows this is only found within a more advanced API, one I/no typical user don't have access to directly. BUT, I can still access it by decompiling for example the Edge RSS app from the Samsung AppStore, and putting/replacing the "sdk" folder from that into my own decompiled app, and recompiling. Easy enough, with apktool! (Of course with the headache of adding in my own temporary shell classes, in the project, so that I can actually write the calls, and just change the reference within the smali code once that sdk is replaced) The problem is, even when you do this, and it builds fine, installs great, and even begins initializing properly, we get an error from within CocktailBarService, the file I'm having you replace. More specifically, I tracked down the actual problem, and it comes back to "CocktailWhiteList", a class within CocktailBarServices, then checks the signature of the calling application, our Custom Feed, and sees if it comes from Samsung. This none of my expertise can fix, without being rooted, but trust me I tried. Now that we are rooted I was able to patch said apk, and get my own apps to work! Hurray!
cocktailbar service crashes when going into 'edge screen' option in settings menu.
logcat attached
Edit: sorry didn't rename cocktail bar (cocktailbarservice_signed to cocktailbarservice)
now it doesn't visibly crash, it just wont let me go into 'edge screen' option in settings menu
new log cat uploaded

How deep are you willing to go? Because it would be awesome if you could clear dalvik-cache, since I see this, right off the bat:
Code:
: Failed to find OatDexFile for DexFile /system/priv-app/CocktailBarService/CocktailBarService.apk ( canonical path /system/priv-app/CocktailBarService/CocktailBarService.apk) with checksum 0xfbfcb9f7 in OatFile /data/dalvik-cache/arm64/[email protected]@[email protected]@classes.dex
EDIT: could you also make sure that you set the right permissions for the apk? I'm getting the impression that they might be off with:
Code:
msg=audit(1429397519.049:355): auid=4294967295 uid=10001 gid=10001 ses=4294967295 subj=u:r:untrusted_app:s0 pid=12605 comm="ktailbarservice" reason="memory violation" sig=11
EDIT2: We might have to disable SELinux... That's rather unfortunate/puts a rather large damper on things, until custom kernels come out at least... After starting a root shell, can you try:
Code:
setenforce 0
I don't know if it'll work, but if that goes through successfully try and launch the Edge Settings Screen again!
EDIT3: Do'h. It may have been something really simple *crosses fingers* Could you please re-download the CocktailBarService, and try doing the same thing you did last time, with right permissions, and maybe a dalvik-cache wipe if it doesn't work!?
Tried the new apk you uploaded. Getting a force close still when trying to open. I changed SELINUX to permissive, wiped dalvik, even tried deleting arm64 folder as well. No luck.

Was searching through logcat and found this. May this have something to do with the issue?

Hi trailblazer, I set the permissions the same as the original apk ,
right lets try again: I've downloaded the new version and set permissions, wiped dalvik-cache but when trying to disable SELinux i get
tmp-mksh: 0 : not found.
and when going into 'edge screen' settings i get unfortunsatly cocktailbar service has stopped.

I sent you a PM! I explicitly declared that permission for each activity, so let's see how it goes now! I put the same apk I sent you now on the OP, so the other testers can try it! In the mean-time, I do have something real for you guys to play with! It's the QuickLaunch window, customizable and all (from hitting the Feeds Settings Icon). I'll put that in the OP with the tag "WORKS(Kinda)"!
One thing, which is a big reason why I'm trying to do it this way-- clicking the icons launches the app, it just doesn't turn the screen back on! I've tracked it down, and it seems as if when the Feed Screen is on, it has the SCover flag set to on, manually, but when a user clicks a button from another Feed, it turns that flag back off, thus turning the screen back on. The easiest/cleanest way for us to do that too would be our Custom Feed Panel implementing the same OnClickHandler that the others do, just can't without doingwhat we're trying to do!
EDIT: Please still use the QuickLaunch apk with the tag "Signed" though for testing the replacement of CocktailBarService! My new one just does it the bad way, and had to get rid of the code for trying the good.
(There's other ways to turn the screen on, but the way I'm trying to do it does it easily, and allows for more advanced functionality!)
FOR DEVELOPERS:
If you are interested in taking what I have and running with it/collaborating, I am more than willing to send all sources of what I have so far, my resources that I've been using, along with all information gathered so far. Just ask!
Hopefully this will become available for non-rooted. I am DIEING to get more functionality out of the Edge API for this phone. The feed is an awesome option, but having to swiping finger is a pain in the @$$. A double tap on the edge or an automatic turn on would be AWESOME when Texts or missed calls are there.

(There's other ways to turn the screen on, but the way I'm trying to do it does it easily, and allows for more advanced functionality!)
FOR DEVELOPERS:
If you are interested in taking what I have and running with it/collaborating, I am more than willing to send all sources of what I have so far, my resources that I've been using, along with all information gathered so far. Just ask!

Liking the Quicklaunch app , are you still needing testers? or have you got all the info you need?

BTW.. can be disabled in the kernel source also.. I did that in m8 times

Exactly and imo its better if its done this way..
for anyone interested
you need to edit the security/selinux/selinuxfs.c file from source
FIND:
Code:
selinux_status_update_setenforce(new_value);
#else
ADD RIGHT BELOW "#else":
Code:
new_value = 0;
So it becomes:
Code:
selinux_status_update_setenforce(new_value);
#else
new_value = 0;
or use this one (from the G925F source)

Hii my friend, i also still , have a non rooted S6 Edge :thumbup:
Hey guys, I finished the QuickLaunch Feed and posted it in the Apps Folder here:
Click Me!
I did manage to get it to turn the screen on, then, with the clicking of the shortcuts, and it still launches it once unlocked (if you have a lockscreen). I am going to begin work on a music player Feed, now
I will continue development on more advanced Feeds, and also delve into enhancing the edge in other ways, once we Verizon users get root (or until I win the lottery and get a Sprint version ). I see all these great opportunities to make it better, I just can't do anything with it until I'm rooted, since this didn't go as well as I planned. Where we are stuck at now is this, and where it would be too much of a pain for me to do without a phone of my own to test one:
We need to re-sign the system with a signature key we have access to. This includes framework, apps, and the priv-apps signed with the samsung key. Then I can go about doing what I wanted to do, but otherwise, it's a no go.
A developer who does have a Sprint or T-Mobile version with root, I can tell you the information I gathered so far. I have seen where the 'turn screen on gesture' is stored, and all these other great things, I just can't right now

very nice.. thanks my friend ?
This is just sounding AWESOME! I am on AT&T so will have to wait as well for Root. I was wondering if there is a possability for the edge to just turn on, on its own without the need to swipe the screen? Like when a new notification comes in it will just scroll across the edge (or maybe the icon will blink on and off until you see it and swipe).
I still feel the swipe is to hard to do consistantly and would rather use a double tap or something if the auto on isn't possible.
I am using a hm-10 to connect to my Android test application. Unfortunately, is a big struggle compared to the hc-05 device. Anyway. The "samplegatt" does not work, either with my device or for whatever reason. So I found a different blog that explains the sample must be modified:
(the dumb forum won't allow me to post a link)
ayh tee tee pee android-er.blogspot.com/2015/12/connect-hm-10-ble-module-to-android.html?showComment=1454055306623#c9017603593836048433
So after the modifications, THAT won't work either. It's not the first one, just the most recent.... I have tried so many example applications from google searching, I have saturated my efforts. I KNOW the module can work with my phone, from using a ble test application from play store (that I can't seem to find company website or track down the source code for).
I was hoping to know if anyone else struggled with this, and if you can advise me on how / where to get a working sample application.
It turns out, the new changes for sdk version 23 require all types of permission changes in the code, since someone decided it was a good idea to enable gps location in order to use bluetooth. I had to change my target sdk back to 22 and the samples started working.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have an onscreen keyboard on the bottom screen (ie the phone) when using the Twinview Dock 3? For example, if using it to type emails etc, the bottom screen would be the keyboard and the top screen would be the mobile app.
yes, took me a minute to figure out but it can be done
Thanks @biotoxin, might send you a message when the unit arrives for a hand in setting it up if that is ok. Will also post details here for other users.
heads up it's app specific, not broad form, the screens are effectively 2 independent systems, so it's up to each app to make it work
I've been looking at apps like an2an to maybe get something more universal but it seems like the twinview doesn't like multiple instances of the same app simultaneously but I remember there being an option to make it happen so I'm researching...
the twin apps feature might be one way but I'm not entirely sure... details below
Code:
1.Download file twinapps_required_apps.xml
https://gist.github.com/shakalaca/9c7a8c6769cb87c6e7d83e809cbe6e5d#file-twinapps_required_apps-xml
Remember, you must download the file from right corner "Raw" button, do not press "download zip" to download or copy and paste the strings from the link
2.Find out the app package name that you want to add , As the example from the tutorial, they choose "GoShare" as an example, you can check its package name from the website version Google play, the hyperlink after "id=" is its' package name.
For Example "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gogoro.goshare"
"com.gogoro.goshare" is the package name.
3.Edit the downloaded twinapps.xml. Find out this string from the file "<string-array name="twinapps_required_apps">" (for apps)
or <string-array name="twinapps_required_apps_games">(for games). Added <item></item> in the front and after the package name. For example if you want to add "Goshare" in the app list, it should be<item>com.gogoro.goshare</item>. Add it after <item>com.imo.android.imoim|imo free video calls and chat</item>. And Save the file.
4 Connect your phone to your pc and use adb to push the edited twinapps.xml into your phone adb push twinapps.xml /sdcard/.
5 After pushed the xml file to your file, use this command to update the twinapps list
adb shell am startservice -a "asus.intent.action.TWINAPPS_CDN_FILE_UPDATE" -d "file:///sdcard/twinapps.xml" --ei "ACTION" 1 com.asus.twinapps/.TwinAppsService.
@biotoxin - just got the twinview dock 3 - great piece of hardward, well built and the power/volume buttons are handy!
In relation to getting a keyboard working on the lower screen - which apps did you use that it worked on, are you able to share the settings? Thanks!
Basically everything that officially supports it is listed in the armory crate, there's a jank way to do some things but it irritates me on a fundamental level so I'm looking into api level access to see if maybe I can make a wrapper that'll launch anything/ everything, or at least wrap a keyboard, if you want to give it a stab unity has the api info readily available or there's the jank way mentioned above
Hmm definitely can't seem to find a way to launch a keyboard on the bottom screen, how did you manage to do it?
Could someone port something over from the Microsoft duo perhaps? Android is capable of it, would be awesome for so many things!
