[MOD] Hulu mod and Webtop/Hotspot Tether for 4.1.57

I was able to get the hulu mod to work inside dolphin browser HD, and also the tethering option in the laptop dock to work, I used Ririal's script to root the phone on the latest 4.1.57 and then ran these commands in a adb shell as ROOT :
for hulu please updated flash player to 10.2 first in the market then apply the libflashplayer.so (can be found in the latest gingerblur package) file to lib folder of the flash player ::>
cp -f libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
then we go on to unlocking the APN's and borrow some of the code from gingerblur mod from the addons batch file ::>
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp -f sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
chmod 755 /system/bin/sqlite3
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "UPDATE carriers set preloaded='false';"
/system/bin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, user, server, password, proxy, port, mmsproxy, mmsport, mmsc, mmsc2, authtype, type, current, preloaded) VALUES ('AT&T (FREE TETHER)','310410','310','410','wap.cingular','[email protected]','','CINGULAR1','','80','wireless.cingular.com ','80','http://mmsc.cingular.com ','','-1','','1','false');"
reboot
and now you are done, next go to the APN's and check they are unlocked then change the AT$T US tether APN type to nothing, then add the "tether" with a comma at the end of the APN type of AT$T US HSDPA , then reboot the phone, once in webtop you can change from the free tether to hdspa then the verification nag will go away and you will be able use the laptop dock.
If anyone can put all this in a script as i got no brains to do a script right now
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THIS POST, THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY !
With that being said have fun
EDIT :
And confirmed sideloading working, issue this command in adb shell as ROOT ::>
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "UPDATE secure SET value=1 WHERE name='install_non_market_apps';"
Then reboot, now you can install apps direct from the sd card.
EDIT 2:
Commands corrected now.

Does the mod retain the tegra specific version of flashplayer?

Well I used the .so file from the gingerblur 7.7 package and the flash player 10.2 from the android market, so does this make it non specific to the tegra chip?

I used the Market Flash 10.2 and Gungerblur RC1 .so,
Hulu works in Dolphin HD, had to set the user agent to desktop and plugins to always on.
Going to try the webtop over cellular.

Just follow the tethering steps and you are set to turn on hotspot from the settings under wifi.

I get a syntax error on your first sqlite3 command, something along the lines that it's expecting a ")" ??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373
Not to detract from the thread, but this enabler is a simpler way of getting sideloading/tethering APNs installed. No need for manual commands assuming you used the correct tools to root in the first place (i.e. sqlite3 is installed.).

Yeah better off using the scripts now as all is well in gingerblur land

Will THis Mod Work without Gingerblur
I've been too lazy to install Gingerblur but wanted to see if this mod will work without it. Thanks!

Couldn't you just use the zip files
(hulu,webtop,hdmi etc) included separately in the kennethpenns gingerblur thread? Wouldnt that work through tenfars cwm without actually installing gingerblur itself or are those specific to gingerblur only?
Edit: Actually I just answered my own question! lol the zips all install fine on stock 4.1.57 with root but do they work? I'll find out soon enough...

That i have no idea if it is possible or not, as these commands are for the purists that want CrapyBlur on and the original look without doing anything else to the file system.
I think it is in gingerblur add on packages BUT you would need the sqlite from the main package, so i guess this is the best bet for now !

Actually installing those zips on stock work through cwm! So thats good enough for me! Thats cool! Because I like gingerblur but for some damn reason whenever I install it? my wifi is weak and disconnects alot... I have no idea why??

Indeed got it working
Although, what have you guys seen in terms of how well HULU works? For me it's a little buggy. The video has issues with commercials not loading properly. I assume this is normal.
But all the other video controls seem to be fickle

The reason ads wont play is probably because you have ad blocking setup on your phone. What rom and root did you use? The regular vids will still play but commercials wont come through. LOL big loss!

thanks
you are right. it does work without the ads working. one thing i noticed is that the speed is a little slow on hulu using the webtop. i.e. the video is choppy. has anyone had any experiemce with that? is it something that can be sped up?

I noticed that too. Honestly gingerblur somehow, someway was having an adverse reaction on my wifi(though I seem to be the only one with this problem) I flashed back to stock, rooted, installed all the seperate zips from gingerblur without installing gingerblur itself using tenfars cwm recovery. Then I flashed gladiatrix rom also and my wifi has been perfect and hulu is running at normal speed with no choppiness.
The only thing with hulu is you gotta uninstall flash player 10.2 and grab the one from the market. Then grab a file called libflashplayer.so and copy it to data/data/com.adobeflashplayer/lib put it inside that folder using root explorer and it should ask you to overwrite click yes. Then open dolphin hd in settings make sure flash plugin is set to always on and that the agent is set as desktop. Then go to hulu.com click a video and it should play fine and with sound cause I was having a problem with no sound but this fixes it!
As far as the webtop is concerned?I think the webtop in general is buggy and laggy but still an awesome feature to have it probably will get better with more updates.

just wanna be sure here the only line i need to enable the hulu mod is this?
cp -f libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

kens rom did not come with it pre enabled ?... well I have never ran it so i wouldnt know but if its failing due to start and saying not authorized, than you need to find the entitlement check it should be in the motorola settings one some where , I am sorry i cant be more help but if it is indeed different from some reason it is hard for me to know with out using it or having it here to search for it

No, it was not pre-enabled. When attempting to use mobile hotspot you get the message about the account not being authorized, because well, it really isnt.
I found the entitlement check on line 118 set to 1. Changed it to disabled, will post back with results after reboot.
[edit] Works like a charm!

I found the "entitlement check" at line 153. changed it to "disabled" and it's working. I guess it's handset dependent. Filter under "entitlement" and you'll find it.

Seems to work ok as per the other ROMS which is good because i dont live in the USA and therefore couldnt pay for tethering if i wanted

[How-To] Make your Droid Bionic use Google DNS instead of VZW

I read this thread and came up with a solution that works for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18253558#post18253558
The idea behind this is that vzw DNS servers blow and are really slow. Since google is 100x larger than they vzw, if your phones were to use Google's DNS they would be faster with lookups.
Not sure if that's true, but hey I bit and made the change.
So how to do it:
Have root.
use root explorer and mount your filesystem as r/w
go to /etc and edit a file called resolv.conf
add (at the top) the following:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
save the file.
reboot your phone.
Done.
Please thank me if you find this useful, I'm kinda new here so I am thankless at the moment
**UPDATE: First thank you for the "thanks" I needed them Secondly, if this isn't working for you then you can download a progra called set dns (free) from the market and install that. It will do the same thing. Make sure you go into superuser and turn notification off if you use it because everytime it makes a dns query superuser will tell you it granted it root access. Also note that you can try the experimental option that changes the resolv.conf perm in set cpu, it will basically do the same thing I outlined above.

Fail....
Everytime u reboot it goes back to stock. I think the instructions need to be more clear... tried so many things but nothing sticks
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

If it's returning to stock, adb pull the original, edit it on a computer, put file on sdcard, make init.d script that replaces the original with the one on the sdcard, reboot, done. The init.d script should replace the file everytime at boot, theoretically "keeping" the Google DNS change. I would throw something together but my phone is unrooted as I had to take it to Verizon for some account help. I'll work on it later this week if no one has tried it by then.
Edit: If you want init.d scripts working go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294009
That's needed for this to work.

Another possible solution, although untested....

Sprint Nexus 6 Wifi Tethering *root* UPDATED WORKING

Has anyone got "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to work? I am able to toggle portable wifi tethering set it up and connect but will pull no data .
UPDATE
Got it to work after installing Sqlite editor from GPS.
Instructions: Open Sqlite editor navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db > click on Global > add string Setting.db addition of tether_dun_required value 0
Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to bottom
Reboot=Profit

Have you also added the line

To the settings database in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases under the global tab

It jas been mentioned before that tmobile users need to only modify the settings database. There is a thread that mentions these details 3 or 4 pages back...

doesn't the build.prop trick do the job as well?

For sprint device i did both with successful results.

For Sprint, I only added tether_dun_required, rebooted and it worked. This was after I factory reset, however. It didn't work before that for an unknown reason.

Mods Can you move to General section please.

Hey all. Are you guys using the Nexus 6 from the GPS or from Sprint? I got mine from Sprint, rooted and added lines to setting.db and build.prop factory reset and still can't even toggle Portable Wifi without getting Tethering or Hotspot Error....
My next task is to flash the factory rom direct from dev.google

I am unable to Wi-FI tether even after doing both tether_dun_required and the net.tether.noprovisioning in the build.prop. Bought straight from GPS, so not sure what I am doing wrong :/
EDIT:
It was a typo by me, the actual string is "net.tethering.noprovisioning"... "tethering" not "tether" after fixing this, all works well. I'd advise anyone struggling to just give spelling another check.

Hey all,
So I had to edit the two files in a specific order. Here's what worked for me on a Sprint Nexus 6.
- Root device
- add the additional line for build.prop
- factory reset
- check to see if you can toggle WiFi tether/hotspot from settings [if so continue]
- add line value to settings.db
- soft reboot
Hope it works.

Just to share what worked for me. It wasn't working for me initially on a Sprint N6 either, but I really didn't want to factory reset. I was able to just recreate the steps you did but replacing the factory reset with a soft reboot and now it's working.
Since I had already made the changes unsuccessfully, I did have to delete then re-add the entries since it does seem to matter the order they were done.
**edit: welp, Nevermind. It worked a few times but now I'm back to seeing the error saying I may not be subscribed.
**edit #2: I had the letter t in "true" capitalized. Changed it to lower case, reboot and it's been working for two days!

For those that don't want to edit files (but don't mind spending a couple bucks)... I can confirm that "WiFi Tether Router" app is working as well.
Settings for the N6, as provided by the dev:
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Verify those, reboot, then open and enable (Root required for it to reset the radio).
*Edit: clarity

From what I could gather from the thread and personal trial and error, this is what worked for me.
1. Unlock
2. Root
3. Download root explorer and sqlite editor
4. Open sqlite editor
4.a - under the files tab navigate to "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/global"
4.b - click the + symbol to add a new entry
4.c - In name section put "tether_dun_required" all lower case exactly as it appears here.
4.d - In value section put "0" thats the number zero.
4.e - click save and exit program.
5 Open root explorer
5.a - Under the root tab browse to "/system"
5.b - long press on file "build.prop" choose "open in text editor" choose "yes" to remount as read-write and continue
5.c - add this as a new line to the bottom of the file "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" all lower case exactly as it appears here. Just 1 uppercase letter here can make it not work.
5.d - save and exit
6 Reboot
7 Native tethering should work now.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I missed anything. Typed this up on my Nexus 9 tethered from my Nexus 6. :laugh:

This is what i did and worked for me and i only had to edit build.prop using the phone. I'm sure that it will work for everyone else. I'm also wondering if there is a way to edit/add the line we need for build.prop without having to root? something like "build.prop net.tethering.noprovisioning=True" in adb shell and it will add the line for us? hope someone can answer this for me please.
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Edit the Build.Prop
6. Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=True to bottom

Thanks for the info. It works using Cricket sim

This is what I followed. It worked for me.
1. You need root access
2. Download "Root Browser" from the Play Store
3. Navigate to /System
4. Open "build.prop." It should give you the option to open in a text editor
5. Add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" at the bottom - without quotations.
6. Reboot and enjoy

What Verizon service do you have. I've got the $60/2gb single line plan and the build.prop edit works great. Without the build.prop edit I get the you are not allowed to use this message.

This is what I followed. It worked for me.
1. You need root access
2. Download "Root Browser" from the Play Store
3. Navigate to /System
4. Open "build.prop." It should give you the option to open in a text editor
5. Add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" at the bottom - without quotations.
6. Reboot and enjoy

I'm on a "legacy" unlimited plan on verizon and this is the exact process that worked for me.

I'm on a "legacy" unlimited plan on Verizon and this is the process that worked for me. I am in Houston and have no issues on band 4 or 13. Once you do the Build Prop edit you need to save it or it will not take, reboot and all should be good.

I'm also on the unlimited data and the build prop edit worked like a charm.

Same here. Added a line to the build prop, saved and rebooted. Tethered my ps4 just to check whether it worked just now. Works great

I have found that it depends on the tower that you are connected to. Some places tethering works perfectly, others it looks like you are connected but no data will transmit. The worst part is that I am also on a legacy unlimited plan and my work pays for the mobile hotspot option. When I call vzw support they play dumb and say they can't help since I'm not using an official verizon device... If I pop my sim card in my M8 tethering works everywhere.
I have also tried every build prop and database workaround with no luck.

Backup your data with titanium backup or something, then add the line to the build.prop file, do a factory reset, once your booted up do the sqlite edit on the settings database reboot and all should work fine. The key is the factory reset idk what happens but it's the only way I was able to get the tethering to work. Been tethering all day today when previously I could connect to hotspot but no internet access. Hope this helps.

Build.prop edit has always worked for me. The only times it didn't work is if there was a typo in the edit. Most time it was keyboard adding a space after one of the periods or something misspelled. I use Root Explorer and open in text editor.
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
