[Tutorial] Wireless Tether for ROOT

THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. BY USING SUCH A SERVICE COULD BE AGAINST YOUR CARRIER'S TERMS OF SERVICE.
Ok, I have been playing around with the Wireless Tether for Root User and got it to work on the Droid Eris!
For those who don't know what this is useful for, it allows your phone to be a gateway/router and broadcast your 3G/Edge network to other devices such as a laptop.
To get this to work, you must have 2.1 with root and flashed custom rom "Rooted 2.1 v0.3"
To get to this point, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647707
Once you are to this point, grab "wireless_tether_1_70-pre2_htc.apk" from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut
Make sure you allow Apps from unknown sources to be installed. (Menu > Settings > Applications > Unknown sources).
Install the app. Depending on how you acquired the download, use the browser download list, Astro Browser, Android Mate ect.
When launching the app, Superuser Whitelist will pop-up. Click always allow.
Congratulations! Now you can use your phone as a router for other devices.
THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. BY USING SUCH A SERVICE COULD BE AGAINST YOUR CARRIER'S TERMS OF SERVICE.
I had success using "wireless_tether_1_70-pre2_htc.apk", but other versions might work also. You might get this to work without flashing the custom rom but you will have to have Superuser Whitelist, which I had trouble doing.

awesome tutorial for people that weren't sure. I added it to photex-media with working links and all =) thanks again.

any reason you went the 1.7 version as opposed to wireless_tether-2_0-pre8? I've been runnning 2.0.8 for a day or two now on and its been great.

Oh I was having problems, and after I flashed the rom, that was the 1st one I tried and it worked. I will try other versions too.

Fair enough, just wasn't sure if you knew something that I didn't about the wifi chip or something. Sorry to be a stickler.

Ive got it installed and when i load it, a panel pops up saying "SU request" but it either doesn't show anything or Force closes. Is my recovery messed up?

I don't know that it would directly be a result of your recovery, generally that's not what is running the SU program. It would be helpful to know what ROM you're currently running, as well as what version of the tether you're trying to run.

im running ivans 2.1 v0.3 and i tried the 1.7pre2 apk and the 2.0pre8. With the 1.7pre2 it force closed at the SU request and 2.0pre8 it just doesn't show anything at SU request and somewhat freezes.
EDIT!!::: i have no idea why but my usb debugger setting got switched off so i switched it back on and i can start the program and it looks like it is working, but no wireless device ive tried can see the phone as a accesspoint. BTW now i am using the 1.7pre2 version

Make sure to check the settings in the app (menu). My laptop is able to the the access point and I connected to it.

This may be stupid question. But can verizon detect that your using this on your phone???

Thanks. So may just go ahead and try this!!!

Im not sure what i have to change in the settings, but it looks like all the correct settings are on. Is there anything else i should check out?

Once in a while my laptop can't find it either so I do a combo of restarting the latop/phone/service until I get it all working together. If I am correct, the set up is a point to point network so how you are configured might effect it but I might be wrong. Another app that works pretty well for wifi tethering is aNetShare. One last thing, make sure that the app has SU permissions. If you can't get it to work, try figuring out variables, like do you have wifi/bluetooth/gps on? I have no clue if this effects anything, just tossing out ideas.

I can not download superuser whitelist from the market does anyone have a link to the apk? I get an error saying it is unsigned.

is there a limit to how much data i can use.. like with this tethering app.. will verizon charge me extra if i use alot of data with this program

If you aren't on a rom with ifconfig in /system/bin/ifconfig:
go to adb shell
get root (su)
type ln -s "/system/xbin/busybox ifconfig" /system/bin/ifconfig
That should clear it up.

If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone, then no there is no limit to how much data your phone could use. Call Verizon and ask if you wanna be sure. BUT, you arent supposed to be using this data connection on your pc without adding the feature to your plan which is more money. So if you hook this up and start downloading/uploading large amounts of data (bittorent, video streaming, ect) then is POSSIBLE to get yourself into trouble as it would unusual for a phone to use gigs in gigs of bandwidth in a week.

Changing DPI without root.

The stock DPI of 640 on this phone is totally wrong and needs to be changed immediately. I recommend the stock Nexus 6p DPI of 560 to avoid any playstore or graphical problems. Here are the steps:
1.) Settings
2.) About phone
3.) Tap build number 7 times
4.) Settings > Developer options
5.) Enable USB debugging
6.) Connect phone to computer
7.) Open command prompt and type the following hitting enter after each entry
8.) adb devices (look for prompt on phone. Check the box and hit okay)
9.) adb shell wm density 560
10.) adb reboot
Done.
To setup adb the easy way, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I need a USB Type C cable for the computer.... Because yes, I agree, the DPI is way off. On the 2015 X Pure it was perfect at 560.

Changing DPI to anything besides stock causes Moto Display alignment to be off. Sometimes way off. I found 534 to be the closest but went back to stock.

I don't know, mines at 560 and works fine ( I can see that it is slightly off though). Luckily in android N changing the DPI is right there in the settings menu. Almost there...

It's a very tiny bit off, almost not noticeable on my phone. Sometimes I will go to press and miss, but rarely.

I changed the DPI and some of the images in the twitter app look very odd.
Also the stuff in the play store under "my apps" looks weird. The app rating and some other stuff are off.
Is this able to be fixed without going back to stock? The proportions are so much better at 560.

There is no way to fix it without root or Android N. We will have one or the other very soon. With that said I think the positives out weigh the negatives.

Agreed. It's way better. So how long before N I wonder. The way Moto and Verizon are, it could be a year.

Moto is fantastic with updates, Verizon sucks. Hopefully since Verizon is so fascinated with it's "Droid" brand, it pushes through the update as soon as Moto has it ready. N is dropping next month, which means Moto can have it ready before Christmas, or already does.

Using tasker to simulate power button

I want to use tasker to turn the screen off. Secure Settings > Lock Device forces me to use pin, which is not what I want, as I use a finger print scanner to wake my device. Shell > Input keyevent 26 does not work either, as I am not rooted (Huawei Mate 9 pro, doesn't seem to have a reliable root yet).
I have tried doing it with System > Send intent, but that seems to have no effect. I dont know if I am doing it wrong. I have also tried
Code:
terminal task
, with a code like this (and some variants of it), without success:
Code:
am start --user 0 -a android.intent.extra.KEY_EVENT --es KEYCODE_POWER ACTION_DOWN
I have also tinkered with
Code:
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF
...but with even less success.
Any ideas as how how I can get this to work? Either with terminal emulator or tasker send intent task?

I think you can't do that cause you're using your Fingerprint. That is a security future and Tasker can't bypass it. Don't nail me on it cause I am not sure. Maybe someone else can prove me wrong.

Maybe you could setup a workaround for this. For example, you could lower the display timeout value to one second so your device locks itself.
(Don't forget to change the timeout back to your preferred value after another second!)

Good idea. But the minimum is 7 seconds, which is too long to wait, for the solution to be worthwhile.

I found a way to do it:
1: Create a task:
display > display timeout: 8 seconds
scene: Show scene: popup - display as overlay, blocking, full screen​2: create a profile for screen on, create task:
hide scene: popup
display > display timeout: 30 seconds​

So you're hiding the ui with a black screen until the screen is really switched off after 8 seconds, right? But what happens when you press the back or home button within the 8 seconds? Does the scene disappear?

This is what I do. Just make a task with Run shell, no need for security settings app. In the command line type input keyevent 26. You then can add a short cut when you double tap the homescreen to turn off the screen.

@snorrski you might want to have a look at this:

It seems to be exactly what you wanted. It works without root and on my (unrooted) S7 Edge, I can still use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device after locking it this way (input keyevent POWER).

I know it's been over 2 years since y'all had this discussion, but I hope this still reaches you.
The power button on my Mi A1 stopped working recently and I can't seem to find it's replacement flex cable anywhere. I'm entirely new to Tasker but I have been reading for hours now to find ways to use a screen based interaction (say a double tap on the screen) to simulate the Power button to turn the screen off while still being able to unlock my phone with my fingerprint scanner.
So far, I've understood that it is doable (with an article refering to input keyevent 26), even more so on Android Pie (with another article refering to using Global_Actions) than it was previously possible, but am entirely clueless on how. I also couldn't quite understand the process of using the remote ADB shell plugin you mention here.
Could either of the two of you please share a step-by-step how-to on how to achieve the same? It would really help a lot. Thank you
Note: I'm using unrooted Mi A1 running stock Android Pie with July 1st security patch.

Your post is getting long in the tooth. Are you still looking for help?
There are button remapping apps and apps that do double tap for off in the play store. Also, launchers can do this. Nova launcher for sure, but others I believe as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Gravity Screen, Nova Launcher as well as finally being able to understand Tasker, did help solve this issue, as I still look for a flex cable to fix the physical button issue as well.

It is. Although, the price is 3.5x the price if I got it from an authorised Xiaomi service centre (except the one in my locality doesn't have it) and about 14x than what is available at local mobile spare parts shops (again not available). Hopefully, I'll find it soon.

[MOD] Disable High Volume Warning (no root)

If you're like me you're bummed that we have no root and are missing the abilities of root. Namely having the ability to use Xposed to turn off the annoying high volume warning. The following information aims to restore that functionality without root but requires some work but when you're done it's "set it and forget it.". You will never have to do it again. (Unless you wipe your phone)
I have this running on my phone and it works perfectly. I've attached a screenshot showing that the high volume warning is disabled on my phone. Note there is no popup on my volume slider when it's at max, so it's working. This mod uses Tasker and AutoTools. If you're not familiar with them it's OK, the article I'm linking has a step by step process for creating events and tasks.
Once again this isn't my work. I'm just bringing the information to the masses.
All set? Click here to go to the article. Enjoy!
P.S. You will need to open AutoTools and activate the 30 day trial if you don't have the full version. Then grant it permission, If not this won't work. To get the full version just open AutoTools and clock "Get full version".
***********UPDATE 09/15***********
I have confirmed that you will have to manually "test" this procedure first before it survives a reboot.
To do this:
Open tasker.
Click on the Monitor Start event.
Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
***********UPDATE 09/17***********
For those that either don't want to or are having difficulty setting up the profiles I have attached them to this post in XML form, Then all you have to do is give the apps permission in ADB as stated in the article and import the profiles.
To import them into Tasker:
Download the file called "Tasker Profiles.zip" from the link below.
Unzip it and save it anywhere on your internal storage. Open up Tasker and disable Beginner Mode in Preferences.
Then, go back to the main screen and long-press on the “Profile” tab up top. You should see a pop-up with one of the options being “Import.”
Tap on that and browse to where you saved the .prf.xml files and select that file to import.
Repeat for the second profile.
Screenshots for this are attached to this OP.
I have also attached a quick demo video to show that this process works perfectly. No popup.

reboot and see if it still works.
I already tried this and after reboot it still prompts the first time.

I've rebooted several times. It works for me. There is a 30 second delay before the task is executed. That is by design.

Try this to see if everything is set up correctly:

If all is well both of the actions will turn green.

I've attached screenshots of this procedure.
Also something to consider is that if you have any task killers installed or anything that kills tasks on startup you should add tasker to the ignore list of that app.
Hope this helps.

It's configured correctly. Here is the thing. If you pull the value before without using, then pull the value after clicking ok manually, it is NOT 2, it's 0. This was discussed on the s7 and s8 forums. Odd that yours works and dozens of other folks doesn't.

I dont know what to tell you. It does work for me just fine as my screen shots show. Sorry it's not working for you.

Can you screenshot your configuration screen? Is the value your sending "int" for integer? It shouldn't matter but what Carrier are you using? I'm Sprint.

One other thing to check is under app permissions ensure that AutoTool has the ability to change system settings. Just running the adb shell pm command isn't enough.

According to the article 0 is 'not configured' 1 is 'disabled' which is what the value would be when you click ok. 2 is 'inactive'.(How this differs from 'not configured' or 'disabled' I do not know). and 3 is 'enabled'. All depending on your mobile country code. Perhaps changing it to 1 will work for you?
Specifically, we will be modifying the System.Global property audio_safe_volume_state both on boot and periodically so Android will always think you have consented to bypass the warning. This property is defined in AOSP, which we’re reproducing below. There are several states this property can take, ranging from 0-3. 30 seconds after boot or after every 20 hours of continuous music playback, the state is set to ‘0’ or ‘not configured.’ It is then set to ‘1’ for ‘disabled’ or ‘3’ for ‘enabled’ depending on your Mobile Country Code. If you live in the E.U., this property is set to ‘3’ by default but is changed to ‘2’ for ‘inactive’ whenever the user manually bypasses the volume warning. We will be changing the value of this property to the ‘inactive’ state (changing it to ‘disabled’ never worked for me, in case you’re wondering).

I came from a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 that didn't have this feature. I had no idea Samsung finally caved and added it.
Thank you.

Or not. I rebooted again and it does NOT work anymore. I'm really not trusting Samsung with this. The tasker method works every time. Every reboot. See attached screenshots showing it's turned on (and set to max) and still showing this message. I rebooted several times just in case I had a weird reboot. I'm still getting the popup even with it turned on and the max adjusted to the maximum or even with it turned off completely.
I only wish I was wrong. Thanks for the try though.

Yeah will reset after a boot

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

I did learn something from this process. When I re-enabled the tasker even it didn't work when I rebooted. So I hit the "play" button that I mentioned earlier to retest the task and once everything turned green I rebooted and it now works again...after every reboot. So I'll add this to the OP that the task must be "tested" after it's set up in order to get it to work.
Even more interesting is who posted it. Compusmurf was the guy who stated in this thread that this did not work for him. Interesting.

I did get it to work finally. I had another tasker/app that was stepping on it.

Well I also confirmed that when I disabled it and allowed the popup to come back by rebooting simply re-enabling the tasker even then rebooting did not make it work again. I had to "test" it with the play button to get it to work again. So I'm updating the OP to reflect this.

I recently got a Realme X2 Pro and I am very happy with it.
However, I have an issue with the screen 90Hz setting. I use Samsung internet browser and I can't get it to use the 90Hz setting, with the UFO test I get 60Hz, I tried other browsers (Brave, Chrome beta, etc) and all of them are in 60Hz mode. Only Chrome gets the 90Hz mode correctly.
I checked the 90Hz setting and they are enabled in the app list.
I am wondering if there is a way to force enable 90Hz as it's possible on the OnePlus 7 Pro (via ADB command)
Many thanks for any support

I don't think so, as despite it being a 90Hz panel Realme have put a severe limit on it; they do not enable it on any game which was a bit of a disappointment

Thank you. I hope realme adds a option to force enable 90Hz in all cases or some hack like the one on OnePlus is found.
I enjoy 90Hz but it not working on one of the most used apps (browser) is a bummer.

There are a few browsers that support 90hz like Chrome and Opera, sadly my most used one Kiwi doesn't.

Yeah I knew that! I hope there is or will be a way to always enable 90Hz as it's possible on OnePlus

Minecraft and the Chinese pubgm work in 90hz so it's not all games... I don't think this is Realme blocking them but the game developers.

With the Samsung browser, 90Hz only works on the settings screen :laugh: but not on webpages, in which it switches back to 60Hz. Opera does indeed use it on webpages, but its scrolling is so laggy that it's difficult to notice it LOL, while the Samsung browser has the smoothest scrolling and it would benefit the most.
Any other app also seems to use 90Hz, but it seems Asphalt 9 doesn't.
I am curious if the Android 10 update will change something, as I can't try the betas.

I'm on beta and nothing has changed.

Then I hope some command or hack to always enable 90Hz as it's possible on OnePlus, surfaces (I tried it for the lulz but it returns an error)
It's a shame that one of the apps I use most can't benefit from 90Hz

I have a trick.
1) Use any app that runs at 90Hz
2) Launch It in split Windows Mode
3) Now launch Samsung Browser in the botton of the splitwindow (as the second app)
4) Now move the split line up yo asign more space to Samsung Browser.
5) Now move totally Up the split line, making Samsung Browser the only app visible...and voila!!! It is running at 90Hz.
The process is quick as soon you make rutine...but the problem is you need to do several time (each time you change the application).

Can't somebody develop a hack (similar to OnePlus) on the basis of that workaround?

OnePlus has a hidden option to force 90hz and that's how the hack enables... Not sure our device will have any hidden settings to enable this.

Ok this might be a start
https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/fqk5he/made_the_s20_display_run_at_96hz_so_much_better/
This uses pretty much the same method the OnePlus 7t but for the S20 ultra... I don't have access to ADB at the minute.
If anyone with ADB would like to test and use these commands?
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 0
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 2
Might need the global tag
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 0
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 1
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 2

It works! the only problem is what you say, when you exit the app or switch apps you have to do it every time

Do you have usb debugging on in the developer settings? I'm going to setup ADB and have a play around later today and I'll post back if I get anywhere.

Yeah I have it enabled, I don't know why I can't change system settings, I search that permission and it's for APKs and not for the entire ADB command prompt

I had to enable "Disable permission monitoring" at bottom LOL
Now I don't get any error but none of these commands do anything (the screen still doesn't force to 90 Hz

Just leave it then I'll test later because actually I don't want anyone needing to do a master reset if something goes wrong. I'll update.

No problem, I have tried many other commands or variants like the oneplus one
adb shell settings put global oneplus_screen_refresh_rate 0
Even tried changing "oneplus_screen_refresh_rate" to "realme_screen_refresh_rate" or "oppo_screen_refresh_rate" but it's still hopeless!
Still the phone works without any difference (I've rebooted just in case)

Not looking hopeful then as the last 2 commands was the first thing I was going to try.

I tried the command
adb shell settings list global
but I can't find anything with refresh or screen or Hz or something similar ... only the tried commands settings
