Can someone who has upgraded their 4G to HC please tell me if it will support Ad-hoc WiFi connections?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium
I had to root it and with Root Explorer change out the wpa-supplicant file... if you are asking about Ad-Hoc I am taking for granted you have heard about this fix for the Streaks... If not just do a little searching for the file...
Once you have it, you go to /system/bin and find the original and rename it to *.bak or *.old, doesn't matter, just something so you don't lose it in case.
You should have your new wpa_supplicant file on your sd card... move it to that same folder, toggle your wifi off and on a couple of times and reboot... and when you come back you should be able to see ad hoc networks

Yes I had heard of the wpa file. I just didn't know if it worked for HC. Thanks.

You are unable to connect to your Ad Hoc network?
Little more info please... does your Streak see the network? If it sees the network and is not connecting, then it's more than likely a problem with your computer and not the phone...
I always set mine up with a simple name like Toshiba which is my laptop brand and I just leave it as an open network because I only use it for a moment so I don't have to put in a password... but still, gimme some more info on what your phone is doing while it tries to connect

Ah ok... so lemme be sure you did this right... you went into /system/bin and found your wpa-supplicant file and renamed it say wpa-supplicant.bak just in case (at least I hope you did) Ok, now you should already have the new file you downloaded on your sd card correct. SO you browse to that file and copy it to the same folder /system/bin and paste it in there...
Then go to your wifi and toggle on and off a couple of times, reboot the phone for good measure and when you come back it should work, if NOT, then rename the new file to wpa-suplicant.new I guess, and the original file, remove the .bak or whatever extension you used and restart your Streak to see if you get connectivity back, if so, then there's something wrong with the file you downloaded

You never guess how dumb I am, I forgot to unzip the file. OMG
aw man really, so you were putting the whole zip file in the /system/bin?
Well I hope you get it goin!! See it's usually the little things like that that wreak havoc.
YES, it works! I think you helped me realize to unzip the file. Thanks so much!
Ok, I just upgraded to HC on my Streak 7 Wifi. I went and changed the supplicant file like I did on 2.2.2. My Streak connects, but when I connect to the internet I loose connection. Are there any other workarounds for connecting to adhoc wifi?

Not that I know of, but I haven't heard of your problem either, with the file changed out my wifi works just fine
Dell Streak 7 WiFi Rooted - Honeycomb - I also changed my WPA Supplicant and WiFi did not work right either. I had to go back to the original file.
I'm aware this is better suited in the android development section, however I can't post there yet.
So I'm in an area where I can only get data with data roaming turned on. Liberty lacks the option to turn it on, and that was a killer for me. So I figured out how to turn it on!
First, you'll need a program called notepad++. Google it, its free.
You'll now need liberty rom. You should know where to get it.
Once its downloaded, open the rom. I used winrar, no need to extract the zip with it. Open the system folder and you'll find the build.prop. Open it with your newly installed notepad++. Once open, add. "ro.com.android.dataroaming=true" to the build prop. I added it to the bottom but I believe it doesn't matter where you add it. Click save and your done! Just flash it like normal and enjoy that sweet, sweet data.
I tried this and I still get the "Data Connectivity Lost - Data Roaming is turned off" notification.
Any thoughts?
Did you use NotePad++? And did you wipe data? Tell me the exact process you used.

Wiping data made the difference!
I figured coming from the same ROM I wouldn't have to worry about that, but apparently you do. I guess I'm still a bit confused on how exactly the build.prop file is used by the OS.
Thanks for the help!!!
i know people have said they couldnt edit build.prop in liberty, but i was able to edit it with root explorer, save it, reboot and it took effect. i didnt make the changes youre describing but i changed the build name
I tried editing build.prop and rebooting without success.
I copied build.prop to my SD card.
Edited the file with Notepad++ (obviously from my computer)
renamed build.prop in the System folder to build.prop.bak
copied build.prop from my SD card to the System directory
reset build.prop permissions
rebooted
The data roaming setting never took affect when I tried this. I have no idea what I did wrong.

I was running monster rom, I downloaded liberty and changed the build.prop as described and worked like a charm. Possibly, since you tried changing the build.prop without wiping data and dataroaming was already disabled, it saved it like that. Much like when you enable usb debugging. If you flash a rom with it enabled without wiping, it stays enabled...
Hmmmm... you'd think changing the build prop would automatically change any stored settings. I'll look into this

Exactly! I still think I must have been doing something wrong... probably messed up one of the mundane details. I always do that
I'll try recreating the steps you went through when I've a bit more time and a fully charged phone. Maybe I can learn something else useful
is this for the CDMA radio? i need to verify GSM with Liberty 2.0
I'm not sure, there's no gsm service around here (hardly cdma). You can try and see if it works.

I just upgraded from a S2 Skyrocket to a S5 Active running stock 4.4.2 on ATT, and realized that in the last couple years ATT must have caught onto the simple uninstall TetheringManager.apk trick to enable tethering. I have rooted with towelroot (easiest root I've ever done!) and I've cleaned off most of the ATT garbage from the phone, but haven't been able to figure out how to get tethering working. I read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141 but since it's for the S4 I assume the apk won't work for me.
Can anyone point me to a set of instructions that apply to the ATT S5 Active?
And before anyone tells me to pay ATT, I have a really old $10 unlimited data plan that would be lost if I ever added tethering, I would go back to the S2 before I would consider dropping my data plan.

Ok, what's a working procedure to install and use this? I've read through 10 pages of that thread and have no idea....
I tried installing the apk, won't overwright existing apk.
I tried uninstalling existing apk and installing this apk, says it cannot install. (I have a backup of existing which I then restored)
I tried deleting the installed apk from /system/app and copy and paste this apk in, tethering crashes when I try to launch it.
EDIT, the apk downloaded as a .zip which I renamed to .apk, might this have something to do with it?
EDIT 2, I missed the clearing of the cache and rebooting. After replacing the APK with the downloaded one, clearing the cache with TBU, and rebooting, it seems to be working great. Note I didn't have and odex file to delete....

Just make sure you use the link in the post I recommended. There's no zip, only an apk that is 232KB large. Use a file explorer like the ES Explorer app. Go to /system/app, copy TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex to a backup location, then delete them, copy the downloaded apk to /system/app, set the permissions to read + write for the owner (root) and only read for the rest (using the "more options" setting if you use ES Explorer) and that's it, the Mobile Hotspot app should work.
I have tested and works correctly with a phone released using another operator. :good:
It's easy, take root the phone, use "ES explorer" or "rootexplorer", go to the folder "system / app" delete "TetheringProvision.apk" and "TetheringProvision.odex", copy the new "TetheringProvision.apk" and set permissions "rw-r--r--" reboot and go.
Wireless Tether running smoothly. :good:

I didn't realize there is a way to tether without a chance of at&t detecting and shutting down the plan. Is this it?

Reading this I almost thought I woke up in the middle of the night and made another post; exact same situation I found myself in!
I used Wanam Xposed to disable provisioning, is this functionally identical to using Wifi Tether Router to 'bypass' the tethering plan requirement? I'm using the native hotspot app atm.

You are missing the final r, it should be rw-r--r--.
In ES File Explorer it's Owner read write; Group read; Other read
I also cleared the cache after doing the file swap. I had my permissions wrong the first time as I left Execute in there, once I figured that out it's working great for me.
I'm on an S5 Active.

I just went to this thread and got the old tethering,,,APK copied it to system after removing the listed other two , changed permissions.
Now my S5 is totally Hot Spot friendly!
Thanks for the tip!
I was trying to cleanup carrier bloatware off my phone and I think I deleted some apps that were critical.
I deleted ItsOnService.apk (NetworkSystemProvider) and ItsOnUID.apk. Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of them. Then, wifi and LTE/3g stopped working (even if Wifi is connected, internet is permanently not available).
The worst part of this is that the issue persists after reflashing back to stock. The problem is I don't think the stock roms contain the /carrier directory. And now I cannot complete the setup wizard because at first boot, I'm forced to select a wifi network and once I connect internet is not available, so the wizard won't proceed.
Is there anything I can do? If someone were to send me the missing APKs could I use recovery mode and sideload them?

I do have the rooted image, as well as the stock image, I have applied both, the problem still exists. I think when I reroot or reflash it's not writing the /carrier directory, that must have come from somewhere else. I confirmed this by unpacking the TOT file and looking inside, it has all the apps, but it does not have the /carrier directory. Do you have ItsOnService.apk and ItsOnUID.apk? Maybe I could try sideloading them?

You need to know exactly what you deleted. The itsonuid is in the system/priv-app directory. I didn't see the itsonservice but didn't spend much time looking. You need to know if you deleted things out of carrier partition or vendor partition or both... Get a list together...

Thanks, I can confirm what you're saying, I did find ItsOnUID in system/priv-app, so at least I can restore that one. However, I am pretty sure ItsOnService is in /carrier and I deleted it using ES File Explorer. I had deleted ItsOnUID with Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup was not able to find ItsOnService, so that's why I had used ES File Explorer, which confirms that ItsOnService must have been in /carrier.
Since it looks like there is no /carrier directory in these TOT files, is there some other way I can get ItsOnService.apk? Can anyone out there send it to me?

[GUIDE] How to fix "Domestic Roaming" on Sprint (and other) Nougat (and other) ROMs
One of the issues with running the latest Nougat ROMs on this device is that they all say "Domestic Roaming" instead of "Sprint" and also display an R instead of 3G, 1x, etc on the signal display. After much research, I've found out it's that the phone doesn't recognize the tower as a Sprint tower and thus assumes you're roaming. The fix for that is in a little file called eri.xml. What I did was take the file from this OP (all credit goes to him) and modify it a little to get it working properly (it only had three of the four needed Roaming Indicators). I've attached my modified version to the OP of this thread, but here are the steps if you want to create your own. Note that this can be done on a PC or on your phone directly. You will need root! (but since you are most likely needing this for a custom ROM, you probably have it).
If you are just using my file directly:
Download the file and copy to phone if not downloading from there.
Copy and paste the eri.xml file to /data using the file manager of your choice (must be able to browse using root).
Change the permissions on the file to 777 (ie to Read Write eXecute for Owner, Group, and Others).
Reboot phone.
If you are going to make adjustments:
Download the file.
Unzip the file and then open eri.xml in a text editor.
Open up this list of Roaming Indicators from this Github eri.xml source
On that site, use your browser's find feature to search for your carrier. For Sprint, there are four of them (0, 1, 99, 123).
In your text editor, edit RoamingIndicator="#" to match your carrier's roaming indicator number and edit EriText="Sprint" to match your carrier's name. Note that you can change the name to whatever you want and it will scroll if it's too long (or so I've read).
Repeat step 5 for all the roaming indicator numbers for your carrier.
If you need to add extra ones, use copy and paste to do so.
Make sure that NumberOfEriEntries="#" matches the number of entries you have when you finish.
Save eri.xml and copy it to your phone if it's not already there.
Copy and paste file to /data using the file manager of your choice (must be able to browse using root).
Change the permissions on the file to 777 (ie to Read Write eXecute for Owner, Group, and Others).
Reboot phone.
At this point, you should see Sprint as your carrier and no more R on the network meter in the status bar.
I almost didn't create a new thread as I didn't do much, but I wanted to keep all the Q&A and troubleshooting in one place and not clutter the other threads. Plus, I wanted to expand upon some of the steps on what you have to do. If you have any questions or need help, please let me know.

The only time I see something like that is if the file manager isn't root capable, it doesn't get root permissions somehow, or the phone isn't rooted. What file managing app are you using? I did this successfully using Solid Explorer File Manager, although I'm sure any other one that gets root would do.

I used root browser on Resurrection Remix. It has Privacy Guard which asked if I wanted to grant root browser access, and I granted it. Root browser asked me to install busybox, which I did. I moved the file to /data successfully. However, it still didn't gain permission successfully.

Hmm... I looked and that's the exact ROM I tested it on. You'll find my post on the first page and yours is on the second. I don't think I installed a different su program like SuperSU. Two ideas:
1. Make sure you give Root Browser permanent root access.
2. Try a different file manager. I used Solid Explorer with no issue. If you don't want to buy it, try other free ones first. I think MiExplorer (I think that's its name) is free on XDA and is nice.
Thanks for the suggestions. I used solid explorer and it seemed like it worked. Permissions were still 777 after reboot, but I still don't get mobile data. My network says "Sprint" instead of "Domestic Roaming", at least.
Changing roms doesn't help, correct?

Not getting mobile data is different than what this file does. This just fixes the displaying Domestic Roaming issue - it's just cosmetic.
I had no data issues on that ROM. The One m7 lacks some of Sprint's LTE bands and well it's Sprint, but that's not a ROM issue. Maybe try flashing back to a Sense ROM and updating Profile and PRL and then flash back to RR.
Your GitHub link to the list of roaming indicators seems to 404.

Thanks! I've fixed the link to a similar one. The original link was the same file as this one and both only seemed to include Sprint. But, you can find Verizon there as well. As for others, you may need to search to get the right numbers.

Hmm... I looked and that's the exact ROM I tested it on. You'll find my post on the first page and yours is on the second. I don't think I installed a different su program like SuperSU. Two ideas:
1. Make sure you give Root Browser permanent root access.
2. Try a different file manager. I used Solid Explorer with no issue. If you don't want to buy it, try other free ones first. I think MiExplorer (I think that's its name) is free on XDA and is nice.

AFter having a similar issue, and switching to Solid Explorer, I was able to change the permissions on the file, however it's still showing up as "Domestic Roaming". File is in /data and shows permissions as "777 -rwxrwxrwx"
Any help or ideas?
Thanks

Are you on Sprint? Also, what ROM are you running?
Yes I'm on Sprint. Just installed Resurrection remix 5.8.2

I think I tested on that one and it worked. If you followed the steps completely (restarted?), then I'm not sure why it's still telling you "Domestic Roaming" unless you truly are roaming.
Problem is, my m7 isn't activated anymore, so I can't really verify that nothing's changed with the ROMs since I tested things. Although they shouldn't have since I don't think they've been updated (I'm pretty sure I tested on 5.8.2 or RR).
