Hi Guys.
I rooted my Droid Bionic just now and Im going nuts trying to "freeze" the mobile hotspot from verizon. Has anyone had any luck finding it and killing it?
Thanks.
What "from" are you on ?

Have you even installed Titanium Backup yet?

I do have it.
This might be a dumb question but why would you want to freeze the mobile hotspot? Can't it be toggled on/off in settings?
i think he wants it out of his app drawer, or maybe he's having the same problem i'm having,weather i use opengarden, barnacle, or any of the other tethering apps, i get an icon in my notification that the "verizon" app is trying to use wifi tether
Just get some app that freezes apps. Titanium can do the job. I got my hotspot froze.

You cannot freeze it. It is buried inside some other system program, I don't remember which. You could find it and edit it out, but that is pretty advanced stuff.
He wants to freeze it because it is ALWAYS running. It will drive you insane if you use a task manager widget.
The only thing I know to work is a custom ROM. None of them have it, but you can use AOSP Wifi tether. Try Eclipse.

Hello all
Since I flash so much, I was wondering how or if you can back up your wifi settings. Now what I mean is backing up all the networks you connected to and their passwords.
Is there a certain file I can just copy from my SD card?
Thank in advanced

There is an app called IP Manager that lets you create wifi profiles. That may do the trick
Added: Any wifi connections remembered are saved in a file. You can find this at /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf

Which thing to I restore?
I must have missed it when I was looking through the list...
Thanks to both posters though.

I'm running gingeritis 3d and I'm trying to connect my laptop to my phone. The included wifi tether app doesn't work.
The verizon app has always worked for me so I was wondering if anyone had the apk.
I tried googling one but after downloading and attempting to install via root explorer I got app not installed.

Hello all,
I am currently running Slim ICS on my captivate and have a question. My new job allows me to install McAfee Mobile to connect to my corporate email server. Only issue is it won't install on a 'rogue' (I.e. rooted) (their words, not mine) device.
My question is, would it adversely effect me to unroot my device? I realize things like root explorer and titanium backup won't work, but are there any deeper implications other than loosing access to those apps?
Lastly, from what I've looked at the one click unrooting apps won't work if busy box is installed, or something lime that. Slim ICS comes with busy box, is that an issue? If so are there other procedures I can follow?
Or perhaps I need to return to stock. I'm wondering if corporate email is worth it...
I know CM9 allows you to disable it through settings. I can't think of any implications whatsoever. I feel like there's a way to trick the app into thinking you're not rooted. Pretty sure it's been done before

I think you will need unrooted stock. Which sucks. Do you travel and need to see your email while off WiFi? Is your laptop too heavy? I use only Calendar syncing - for reminders and dialing up to calls. Emails and Gmails are too painful to view and read.
The primary reason for me wanting to do this is so I can sync my calendar... As events come up at work I would love to just throw them into Outlook and have them show up on my phone, or vice-versa.
I tried to install Google Sync on my work computer but alas it was denied as I was not an administrator. Perhaps I just have to suck it up and try to put things in both my Outlook and Google calendars.... Unless someone has any other suggestions?
If you cannot sync with Google - you are screwed. Still check any portable apps which don't need install.
Stock ROM is not bad. As long as you have "Unknown source" checked and can have any apps...

It's no ICS, though... Thanks, I'll take a look for some portable syncing apps, any that spring to mind?
Have you tried that app, I think it's ota root keeper or something like that. It can disable root temp, and bring it back when you're done

I'll take a look, however my guess would be this app constantly monitors whether or not a device is rooted. I may just go back to stock or give up completely, lol.
Most of these kind of apps just look for the su app. Remove that and they often work, which I think is basically what ota root keeper does

Interesting. You're referring to /system/xbin/su? Or the superuser app? Both?

Being on ics itself sounds rogue since it isn't stock. You probably need to go back to stock

Hi guys,
I've just recieved an update notification on my phone for .233. Don't plan to update just yet, but the icon in the status bar won't disappear.
Any ideas please?
Hi, if You have root, just freeze update service with TitaniumBackup

I have Titanium backup, but I am not sure I have seen an option to freeze apps. What is that option called and where is it? Is that only on the paid version?

Open TB.
click on backup/restore at the top
Scroll to the required app
press the app and click freeze.
I have a feeling it is only for the paid version though.
The app RootAppDelete will do the job for you, free of charge
In the sys-app menu, scroll down to UpdateServices or similar and disable.
It will not be deleted, only disabled. Root access required.
will give that a go, too many ppl are complaining about wifi or other in 223, so will stick with 195 until JB in a few weeks.

THANKS a bunch worked like a charm
I did not want to delete it, so just used ES manager to stop it running at startup. Much easier solution
I have a GS6 64GB running the latest OTA and rooted on Ping Pong Root. I am trying to automate starting my wifi hotspot and the third party apps don't seem to work so I figured I would use tasker to input a couple of taps but the command won't run. Wondering if anyone else has run in to this. I have given tasker root privilege and enabled its accessibility setting. The circle in the tasker UI goes red and it never completes the task. I never had an issue on my GS5. I tried the swipe command as well with the same outcome. I also opened a terminal window to run the command and it said the tap command didn't exist. I ran the swipe command in terminal and it worked but taskers run shell > input swipe didn't. Any help would be great. Ultimately I want a way to get Wifi hotspot to turn on when it sees my cars bluetooth. I have AT&T so i need to swipe on then verify so it is a couple steps.
I've been trying to do the exact same thing with no luck. I replicated the same thing on my s4 that I recently got running lollipop. Not sure if its a Samsung lollipop issue or a lollipop issue in general.
The only thing I was able to do to make it easier was add a quick settings toggle to enable it. Makes it a little easier. I just wish I could get rid of the warning about turning wifi off and having to tap ok.

After doing some research I found its an issue with new 64 bit devices. Anyway I found a work around using secure settings plugin. The input tap command works if you use the secure settings plugin and put the command in there.

That's good to know. After I was able to accomplish that. It just the secure setting method to activate WiFi hotspot and the tasked WiFi tether function and they both work now. I didn't notice am update to either but I'm glad it work now.

I'm curious what you did to make the wifi hotspot functions work in securesettings? I'm rooted with pingpong but if I run a task to enable wifi hotspot it fails every time.

It works in secure settings and just the wifi tether in tasker. I'm not really sure what I did. Used the input tap method to activate it. And tried after that and it worked. Didn't try it right before that tho. I'm running stock rooted oe2 (I think that's it, the update). I have the WiFi tether mod installed but that's only to get rid of the verify process it did when I turn it on. It didn't work after that I tried.
