[FanZhang]Wifi Helper [May 11 update]

Hi All,
I've made a program supporting all originally supported wifi protocols as well as WPA/WPA2 enterprise protocols. This program can be used to set up connection with wireless networks using enterprise protocols.
What you need to do is to select proper protocol/authentification methods. Provide certification files if you have them. You can put certs files anywhere in your SD card. Then click OK.
You need to disable your wifi and re-enable it. Root is required.
Please visit my blog for more updates: http://fredzhung.blogspot.com/
** THIS IS NOT WELL TESTED, But works for Purdue University. (WPA ENTERPRISE WITH THAWTE_PREMIUM_SERVIER certs.)**
[UPDATE MAY-11] 1.0.2 RELEASE
ADDED SUPPORT FOR AD-HOC!
Added support for memorizing all configurations.
Need some test.
[EDIT] v0.2 RELEASE.
fixed a bug connecting to open network.
added support for anonymous indentity in EAP
added help/about
added input validation
changed icon

If this Wifi Helper doesn't work with your company's/school's wifi settings, please provide me your wifi setup so I can figure out what's wrong.

There seem to be a bug that first time run will hang. Close the program when the "force close" window pops up. Then run it again. Add the program to superuser list when asked.
This seem to be a bug for all applications requiring root access in android 1.5. I tested with terminal emulator and it has the same bug as well. Something is wrong with superuser program.

The app is uploaded to Market. Have fun!

Using this to access wifi on campus
Hi
I am a novice at all this root stuff so my questions is straightforward
a) If i buy a G1 (not rooted etc) and install this application from the market, i should be able to access my campus wifi? This is one reason why I am still using the iphone (unlocked on tmobile).
b) Is this likely to work even after the 1.5/cupcake transition that seems to be imminent?
Thanks
ps I am at LSU and here are some of the wifi details for the campus:

Hi, if you buy a g1 from store, you need to root it first before using this app. totorials for rooting your phone can be found on the sticky threads.
After you root your phone and use this app, you should be able to connect to your campus wifi. This is the purpose of this app.

May 11: 1.0.2 is released. Available in market

Hey zhang!
Great work, but i am having problems getting the ad-hoc to work.
It's been setup on my laptop and i have tried w/WPA & open to no avail.
The phone does not seem to detect the network.
I'm running 1.5 JF ADP.
Any thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong?
And thanks for the ad-hoc capability, been waiting on that one
Sean

Hi Sean,
I've been doing experiments with adhoc, I am not 100% sure adhoc will work. I will keep trying.

Great, great, great job!
I'm gonna buy the pro one, just as a "thank you"..

It seems it won't even detect my adhoc network
Hi. I use the free version (will buy it if it actually works) but I can't seem to even detect my adhoc networh. I use the ICS on XP laptop. I setup an open network with no encryption for the test but the G1 doesn't detect it (it sets it up and says it's unavailable, thus allowing me only to "forget" it). Do I have to change anything else on my device (for example the tiwlan.ini) so my device actually shows those elusive adhoc networks. Has anyone actually succeeded to setup properly an adhoc connection on G1 ever with any kind of software or is it like the UFO - we hear it exists but we've never actually seen it?

I cna't get it to work on my university's WPA2 Enterprise with a 'GTE CyberTrust Global Root' certificate (with extention cer).
I'm using a Vodafone Magic

I am also having a problem with a WPA2 enterprise setup.
It is a eduroam network.
On my computer I have entered the following setup in wicd:
encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPv2
identity: my username
password: my password
In the wifi list (in the android system menu) the eduroam network shows as "Not in range, remembered"
I have another problem with the app itself: "Modify configurations" does not work. This makes it a hassle to try different encryption settings.
I know the network also works with PEAP with GTC, but don't know how to set that up.

Where did this go? It's no longer on the market. I can't find it anywhere!

Yeah, I was looking for this app and can't seem to find it anywhere. It disappeared. Does anyone have the apk?
Boogy

Try WiFi Buddy...free and works great.

All you had to do was go to his site...

[Q] University proxy problems

Hi all.
Got my SGS a couple of weeks ago, and (almost) all is great.
I spend most of my time inside the university (I live on campus) and all of the web traffic here passes through a proxy server. Problem is - some of the apps (including the Market) just can't see the connection.
I have (of course) the right Advanced Network Settings (proxy server and port), and this sorts out some of the apps (like the default browser and gmail app), but the market is unreachable, and FB app (for example) can't access the net as well.
Some more data:
I'm running 2.1.
There is no problem to access these sites using a desktop/laptop computer.
I don't use 3G, relying only on WiFi.
Proxy server has no authentication.
Everything works perfectly whenever I leave campus.
Is there anything I can do?
Would this issue be resolved in the (hopefully) forthcoming 2.2 upgrade?
Thanks!

Hey do you have to log in to go online. At my past college and my current uni all android phones where you had to log in via the browser didn't work. However my friend with a Desire with 2.2 can log in, this maybe a wild guess but maybe the updated browser allows for the log in procedures to work, im not sure what its written in, javascript, php, asp no idea but that's my guess> Ive got the same problem if you get it to work let me know and if you know someone with froyo can you ask them to try or maybe its just with newer HTC phones.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't need to log in, there's no authentication, and still there's no access.
It feels like a dodgy implementation of the proxy settings in Android, and I really hope they fix it in 2.2, because it makes my phone really crippled.

Yer I really hope so to on our network their is no pass to access
its completely open but you have to log in via the browser

A quick update.
Just installed a localized (hebrew) version of Froyo (JHJP4 if it interests someone).
I can't comment on anything else at the moment, but the proxy problems are NOT solved. Still can't access the market...

[Q] Global Proxy Settings for wifi networks.

Hello there,
As we all know our Samsung Device does support Proxy Setting for wifi networks but it only works for default android browser. Is there any way that I can use the Internet behind the proxy setting through out the phone (including google maps, gTalk, etc etc) ?? Has anyone here has done it?? I have tried many apps like ASProxy, Transparent Proxy, ProxyDroid, Http Proxy Settings but none of them worked.
Secondly what is iptable module?? does our phone Samsung Galaxy S I9003 has that iptable module? I have froyo XWKB1 firmware. Some of the apps require iptable module to be on the phone.
Many people claim that they are able to use pxoxy setting through out the phone with all those third party apps but not me. Please do reply

Type opera:config in opera mobile url(not in opera mini)
You will find lots of options there including proxy. But i never used it.
BTW this is not development related question.

sorry for that, this is only forum for I9003 and I am depressed for that. I dont want peoples who own different phone answering this because I have searched hundreds of forums and blogs, those people claim that they are able to use Proxy Setting with the help of third party apps but not me ... This is only forum where all the I9003 owners hang out. Yes The method that you specified also works. I am also using it but I want to use android market, gTalk, Maps and all the apps.
Greetings

Root your phone and use proxydroid, that thing works globally, has context sensitive profiles and other features...

Oh! yeah! I have rootem my phone deodexed, applied CWM for XWKB1 also but that application didnot work for me. I have a query, have you tried the proxy settings in galaxy i9003 itself or any other phone? the proxy of my college is 192.168.1.100 and port is 3128 but I am not able to run it through out the phone.
Regards,

I use this program on this phone and my Galaxy Tab successfully with the proxy server at my work place. I use XXKPH with CWM by Skin and root through CWM method using leo's zip. You should be able to find these around here if you want to replicate my config.

Have you tried Orbot? It's not exactly what you want but it's a tor proxy :
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web, instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor to the Android mobile operating system.
Orbot contains Tor, libevent and privoxy. Orbot provides a local HTTP proxy and the standard SOCKS4A/SOCKS5 proxy interfaces into the Tor network. Orbot has the ability to transparently torify all of the TCP traffic on your Android device when it has the correct permissions and system libraries.

I'm almost sure we have this module in our kernel.
DroidWall is a famous firewall for Android which configure iptable on device, allowing or not selected apps to access network, try it

Solution for global proxy problem on Android devices
Hi all,
I found a setting that worked on my device. I believe it will work for almost all other devices running at last Android 3.3 as this is a requirement for the app SandroProxy. Note that no rooting of the device is required. Try the following steps;
Install SandroProxy
Add your WiFi authentication parameters to SandroProxy. Details such as the domain, user name, proxy address and password.
On your WiFi setting, long press on the SSID and select the "Modify network config". This can be found under Settings>Wifi>[SSID]
Under proxy, type "localhost"
Under port, input the port beign used by SandroProxy, default is "8008"
Thats is
Enjoy

[Q] Nook to Mac/PC via wireless??

I don't know if this is a noobie question or not. And search wasn't very helpful.
Is there a way (or an app) to connect my NC to either my Mac Mini (or my PC) via my home wireless network (not USB) in order to transfer files back and forth??? .... hopefully a way to move files locally without using the Internet (i.e. dropbox or similar)
I'm running full CM7 (EMMC) on the NC and Snow Leopard on my Mini.
And since I'm helping other people with their NC's, does anyone know how to do this on a stock NC????

Not sure if this works for the Nook but try Samba Fileshare app from the Market. Allows you to connect via regular I.p. address. I use this with my phone.

Use ES File Explorer app. This allows you to see and manage all the files on your Nook, and on a networked computer and do ftp transfers as well. Lots of functionality apart from basic file transfers, stable and free.

Yes there is an app call WiFi file explorer it gives an ip address to enter in the browser and then you can send or download files. it works very well I use it in the evo 4G and nook color.

I use ES File Explorer if I am working on the NC but if I am working on the computer I start Samba Filesharring on the NC and do all the manipulation on the computer. It is easier that way since I can see all the thumbnails of pictures so I can select them nd just drag and drop.

+1 for Samba. The SD card just appears as a share on your Windows network and if you check the box to remember your credentials you just have to remember to wake the NC up before you try to connect to it.

Try Dropbox. Easy setup and works a treat.

Yes! It works! I use it on my home network.

Do any roms play nicely with 1VPN

I've been running different builds of Cyogenmod7 for quite a while & I can't get VPN (PPTP or OpenVPN) to work through the Cyogenmod settings or with 1VPN. I can, however, get it a VPN to run with OpenVPN Settings (from the market). However, OpenVPN settings is a bit of a pain since I have to enter in my username/password everytime I connect.
Anyone know how to either have OpenVPN settings remember my username/password or know of a rom that works with 1VPN?
Thanks!

I gave up on trying to get VPN to work, ended up being more of a pain then was worth it. I instead setup an SSH server on my Home computer and connect to it using ConnectBot app. Using Port Forwarding in the app I can access pretty much whatever I would of wanted to on a VPN like VNC, SMB, Upnp Media Server, ect... Everything done over the SSH is Encrypted as well so you could use it even on an Open/Public WiFi connection without fear. Only thing I have yet to try to do is forward Internet Browsing over the SSH connection, would probably require me to setup a Proxy server on the PC.
