very nice cant wait to try
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Awesome, downloading now.

And, no body else seems to have much trouble making flashable .zips? I'm not taking a crack at you, just maybe PM one of the guys around here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Necrosan:
Apparently it's due to the fact winrar/windows zip cannot create a zip CWM will recognize, even when implicitly told to not compress stuff.

About to upload a .zip with a modified Settings.apk and the framework.jar. This gets rid of the "Sprint Hotspot" name and changes it to "Wireless Hotspot."

Looks cleaner to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Wow this thread should take off here very shortly. Congrats and thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] su8z3ro:
Doesnt work with ef02 plus.... Oh well thankgod for nandroid.. Os it possible to make this compatible with chris41g' s ef02 plus?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ski21:
So does this enable the sprint hotspot without them knowing it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] walord:
Nice, I'll have to check it out. I've been using WiFi Tether which enables Sprint Hotspot so I have something to compare it to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I actually am someone who still pays for Hotspot because WifiTether hasn't been as good. I hope this finally does it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadowlink217:
Could we get a list of compatible kernels? Is it stock only?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Considering there's only so much that can be done to the gingerbread kernel without source, I would think all of them work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Doesn't work on bonsai. Zip flash didn't even change the name of the app. I didn't try USB. About to flash stock deodexed and try from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
Is there a way to make this work for stock (not deodexed)? Or is there an easy way to deodex? Or should I just look for a nearly stock deosexed rom and restore data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] walord:
Wireless Tether is an issue, WiFi Tether has been working fine for since it came out(3.0-pre14), have used it on Froyo and Gingerbread.

No joy with this hack, starts fine but won't allow my laptop to connect. Good news is that it doesn't interfere with WiFi Tether functionality so I can keep messing around with it to see what I can do with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
WifiTether 3 pre 14 has been outstanding for me too. I almost cancelled Hotspot because its really good. The whole turning off 4G first thing gets to me though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] walord:
Yeah, they need to get that worked out. All you have to do is toggle Wireless Tether (the green one) on and off and you'll be able to restart Wifi Tether (yellow) without rebooting your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Necrosan:
What errors are you seeing in logcat?

What exactly is happening?

The files in this update zip _CAME_ from Chris41g's EF02 plus, which I am running right now with these hacks, so there's no reason they shouldn't work for you..

Also, this more than likely will ONLY work with Chris41g's EF02 stuff, especially if there are modifications in his Settings.apk that are particular to his ROM.

Let me know what you come across and I'll see what I can do. If it turns out it's because of my Settings.apk modification I can always remove that/put it in a separate zip for those who want "sprint hotspot" renamed.

Thanks!

(For those too anxious to wait for another zip - install it and restore your ROM's custom Settings.apk. Make sure you're only applying this to EF02! This stuff will SURELY only run on EF02 based ROMS! I am able to modify other frameworks for 2.2 etc but I need a copy of the framework.jar from the particular build/rom you use so I can perform the modification.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Necrosan:
The main thing that bugs me about Wireless Tether is a) it doesn't interact with our device correctly (look up the ANDROID_TETHER intents and WIFI_AP intents and see what I'm saying) and b) whenever you stop it (on ef02, anyway) it reboots the phone. This was with the latest beta.

The built in stuff is made by samsung for the phone, and communicates with the rest of the OS using certain intents that are very useful. It also works very well in my day or so of testing. (Uninstalled android wireless tether right away ;))
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yes, if I use my paid Hotspot, I have to wipe cache and Dalvik before I use WifiTether otherwise I have issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Necrosan:
Very interesting. The only way they are linked is that when you put the BCM chip into SOFTAP mode the module shoots an intent across the system that spams your screen with "Hotspot Started."

Wonder if that is the same on my epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
well when u get a chance, could u possibly test it? if not we need someone else on srf and has 4g!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
4G was working for me on SRF 1.2 but we need someone who doesn't pay for hotspot to try it out as well. I sure hope it wasn't my paid Hotspot still working since I ovwewrote the files
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
did it show the authenticating msg? does it show it on the paid one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Ok ok you've enticed me :p downloading srf now. Should be done once I'm done here. Gimme an hour or so.

And quit distracting me! Haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
lol, distracted from doing the dishes :rolleyes:

you should be thanking me dishes suck!!! lol

cant wait to hear ur feedback :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
SFR1.2 here and I don't pay. Error67 reg err for the 4g test zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
This is the Sprint Hotspot paid version (notice the difference in the name) someone please verify this because I want to stop paying the $30 a month...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Oh snap, then it might actually work now on 4g!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Oh no! Is it possible that I got the name changed but not the actual Sprint authorization overrode? EDIT..did you use the same method I did when pushing the two files? I extracted the zip and went to extracted folder and then pushed services.apk and framework.jar and rebooted
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Maybe wait for squshy....
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
3G version is working on Bonsai in the framework David sent me which I packaged into a zip. If there is a settings.apk that will work with the GB version of Bonsai to let 4G work with it I will test it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
I am using Urban Inception V 1.1 rom and I just flashed the hot spot hack and it changed the name to Wireless Hotspot and it works!!!!. I am using my phone to post this reply also I enabled 4G after the hot spot connected too and it is still working, I could never get it to work before so I am happy!!!! :D :D :D. Just for everyones info I am not paying for the wifi hot spot so this is great news for me :D!!!.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have been paying $30 a month since launch day of this phone. I can wait a little longer no problem...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Oh yes! Thank you for testing it out. This is a good sign...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
YES!!! a full working hotspot on 4g too!!! time to update :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
flashed the latest 4gzip for srf and its changed the name and still works on 3g :)

and its been posted it works on 4g, so this is the best thing ever!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I flashed it with cwm
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
u sure u used the right zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You can't flash it with the zip provided. You have to push the two files seperately with Root Explorer or something like it as far as I am aware of. Also, you have to make sure you are using the zip provided for that particular ROM. The framework will be different for each ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i thought u used the dropbox link? i flashed it and it changed the name to wireless hotspot and still works on 3g.

is that the one u used?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Huh, interesting. I did use the Dropbox link but I did push the files seperately. Maybe I went the long way to get the same result but someone much wiser than I am told me to push the files individually. If it works for you then great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ya well i know it works on 3g and it changed the name, and if im using the same one as you then im sure 4g will work when i goto california in august :)

@John hows the 4g speeds compare to the bought one is it the same? i would assume they would be considering its the same thing only free!! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
The .zip for sft1.2 test 4g flashed fine.. even cleared the cache.. the zip contained the META and system dirs.. someone made it flashable..
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hit me up when you get to SoCal...lol..either way, be sure to "Thank" Necrosan. 3g or 4g, this is a pretty big accomplishment. Hey Necrosan, do you care to take a go at TV Out...;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] comtrade:
Ok, I re-downloaded the SRF12_4gtest.zip this time from post #153 but looked like the same link as before and no error this time when activating after reflashing. Again I am on srf 1.2. The 3g worked and I connected to this forum but was slow for me. I normally get speedtest results of 1-3Mb download on 3g and 5-9Mb on pdanet and the baked in wifi tether in srf 1.2. With this I was getting 1Mb download and the 4g kept attempting to connect but never could. The minute I deactivated the hotspot it would connect. So no 4g for me. As soon as I turned it off I connected with pdanet and hit the same server and got 9.71 Mb down and .97 up, also latency was 1/3 of what I was experiencing with hotspot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
im going to send him a donation next paycheck, and yes he should go work on tv out!! lol

the epic community has waited so long for a stable infrastructure hotspot and there is nothing better then the official sprint one that works on both 4g and 3g for free!!!

definitly great work and deserves lots of donations we shouild all donate 5 dollars and get him semi rich :D

lol

Would be nice also to hear other peoples 4g results on srf 1.2 to see if 4g works :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
This is interesting. When I activated Wireless Hotspot, the 4g disconnected then reconnected as soon as Hotspot was finished activating. When I used it to post on XDA, the pages opened just as fast for me as Sprint Hotspot did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I get the registration error. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
try pushing the settings.apk and the framework jar file directly instead of using the zip

Settings.apk go in the system/app folder

framework jar goes in the system/framework folder

then wipe dalvik cache then reboot and let us know..

So 3g doesnt even work for u?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That is exactly how I did it as well. Please report back. I don't want to be giving false hope on the 4G connection. I do live in an area with rock solid 4G coverage and I don't want to think I got some Hybrid mix of Sprint and Wireless Hotspot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Sorry guys, apparently the weather fubared the 4g here so I haven't been able to get a connection longer than 5 minutes.

I've been downloading srf over 3g for an hour now and I'm at 85%, so hang tight lol

Edit: grabbing some taco bell to pass the time lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Tried the settings.apk from epictest for EF02 on Bonsai v5 and no go for 4G and it caused reboots. I put original settings.apk back. I noticed it is much larger than the one in Epictest.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Epictest is known to be broken. Apparently, only srf1.2 has the latest attempt
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Looks like Necrosan is out for the night. I am sure he will put out some modified zips soon if more people report back positive results with the SRF 1.2 and Urban Inception? versions he modified
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
just waiting on you for tonight on testing 4g so far it works for john and that other guy.. forgot his name
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
I was wondering the same thing, I never saw an updated urban inception hack?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Me neither but someone reported it working. Maybe from the very first one Necrosan posted. I will go back and look for one I possibly missed. The more people that are willing to test this out, the better off we are.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
the srf one appears to also work on urban inception aaccording to the other gut saying that 4g worked :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
see below i believe he used the srf on and it worked :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I want an Emerald Envy one very badly. I split my time between SRF 1.2 and Emerald Envy. If I was smart, I would wait for Necrosan to post some zips for more ROMs but patience isn't one of my strengths...oh well, I have a theme to test for pending release in the meantime...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
are u excited to stop paying 30 bucks a month ?? :D

thats if we get more positive responses we have 2 so far :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
SRF 1.2 is Froyo right? Need an EF02 4G settings.apk to test on Bonsai v5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
just pm necrosan with your settings apk and framework jar and when he gets back on tommorrow im sure he will take care of you :) as well as other roms too at least until he and chris make there project work for it to work on all roms possibly with an apk..
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Well, I watched the download bar get all the way to 100% only to get a download unsuccessful error.

I'm more than pissed. I blame it on how much I've raped my phone lately. I'm gonna reflash ef02 and go from there

:( :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
guess we will wait til tomorrow :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Heck yeah. I have tried every WifiTether version and none were as good as Hotspot. Also, Chris41g and Necrosan are the two people I worked through this with so I thank them both for looking at logcats and their persistence. At this point, it looks like any small issues should be able to be ironed out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Blank post :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Bump...calling some testers....
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Did he do a new version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Not yet. I am trying to get some people on SRF 1.2 to try the version I got working for me yesterday. I pay for Hotspot so I am trying to get some non paying people to try it out. Let me bump the post with the zip I used with success..
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
This is the zip I used. I pushed the services.apk and framework.jar to the proper folders and rebooted. Looking for people with 4G service. 3G appears to be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Well, once again I'm at work so no 4g. I do have wifi tho so I can finally get on srf lol. Tested 4g out this morning and it was still shaky, maybe that'll change once I get back to ec05
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for helping out squishy. I am ready for any further testing that needs to be done
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Has anyone had any random reboots? It was working for about 5 min on 3g then phone just rebooted without warning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Are you running journal on also do you have a theme installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Journaling is on, theme installed...Bonsai V5 B13 with EF02 Dark Horse port.
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
Yes.

Didn't get restarts yesterday though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Oh, Bonsai ROM. I wasn't aware that people were having success yet on Bonsai. I will have to take a look at the EF02 setup to see if I get the same results as I am on SRF 1.2 or if I have issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Its my understanding that the framework is different between ROMs. I thought the only updated zip with 4G fix was for SRF 1.2. Let me go back and review the thread to see what there is to try
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes. Mine rebooted in a minute when trying the settings.apk from epictest. Went back to 3G only and framework.jar for Bonsai v5.0. Need a modded settings.apk to get 4G working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes John, 3G Hotspot is working with the Framework.jar Davidrules7778 uploaded but cannot use any settings.apk wihout the reboots I PM'd my Bonsai's settings.apk to Necrosan.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok great. Hopefully we will see some more modified zips coming from Necrosan today if the time permits him to do so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Just waiting for squashy to test 4g on srf, @ everyone who missed it, john on srf 1.2 and one other guy on urban regeneration used the dropbox flashable, few pages back and successfully have 4g and 3g working,

Just need to have kenny get a new modified file to test 4g on bonsai v5 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Is there a hack for Decadence's EF02 plus ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you are on the deodexed version, you can try the version in the OP and see if it works on that ROM. We are all in a testing phase right now
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
What john said if bit then necroman will have to make it compatible just ask nicely and supply your framework jar and settings apk and im sure he will when ever he gets time :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
the framework for ef02plus, which is my rom, should work on decad3nces deodexed stock ef02...
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I tried it didn't work, correct me if im wrong after i flash the hack isn't it suppose to replace/change sprint hotspot, like it's name?
[Epic 4G Android Development] comtrade:
It would be nice to see some speedtest results from those people that it is working for. It only worked on 3g for my srf1.2 setup w/twillight 1.1.1.

Maybe the following would work (best to use same server for all tests):

List ROM/kernal installed

speedtest app directly through phone 3g (ping, download, upload) 4g (if available-ping, download, upload)

wifi tether (version) 3g (ping, download, upload) 4g (if available-ping, download, upload)

Wireless Hotspot (file name and install method) - 3g (ping, download, upload) 4g (if available-ping, download, upload)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You have to push the settings.apk and framework.jar files with Root Explorer or similar app
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Let me try to get some of these numbers together. It may take me a little while though to report back. I am not in front of my laptop right now
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I pushed, didn't work. Had to nandroid restore. It did take the push though, killed my background and removed setting from the app drawer
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Just got a reboot trying to use it again but may be the GB modem...they are all crap.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i can test the wireless hotspot and post 3g speeds for you.

would you like speeds to the tethered device too or just the phone?

Ok here is what i got:

On the phone speeds while tethering on 3g:

Test 1:

Ping- 300ms

Download- 0.60mbps

Upload- 0.31 mbps

Test 2:

Ping-231ms

Download-1.29 mbps

Upload- 0.37mbps

Test 3:

Ping- 309ms

Download- 1.12Mbps

Upload- 0.14

On Ipod Touch tethered:

Test 1:

Ping- 324ms

Download- 0.48mbps

Upload- .008mbps

Test 2:

Ping-336ms

Download-0.20mbps

Upload-0.22mbps

Test 3:

Ping-370ms

Download-0.37mbps

Upload-0.06mbps

Test 4:

Ping- 345ms

download- 0.84mbps

upload- 0.18mbps

These are tested while streaming slacker radio on my ipod touch and are on 3g with 3-4 bars signal.

I used the dropbox 4gtest zip and flashed it in clockwork...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
This is great! I am using it with v10 of that one ef02 rom that wont be mentioned and it works great. SamSprint really can't be too far a way from a public ready gingerbread. Maybe it's just me but ef02 has worked well for me and aside from charging issues randomly I don't have any more FCs than I had with any other froyo rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aryantes:
Odined to EF02plus, booted to CWM and flashed the one in OP.

This wasn't really working right for me. 4g wouldn't connect at all while the hotspot was active.

It would constantly try to connect. If connected before clicking tether, it would disconnect 4g.

Turning off hotspot allowed me to reconnect to 4g instantly.

The same goes for the epictest.zip posted a few pages back on dropbox.

USB tether was also flaky for me, constantly losing connection to AIM for instance. DNS lookups failing, on 3g. 4g wouldn't connect here either.

I have been running WifiTether 3.2 beta or whatever the latest one is with success and am posting from it now but would much rather prefer to end the whole saga of random reboots/4g problems and stuff with native support here.

I'll test what I can and report back.

3g seemed to work ok but I only tried it for a few seconds as I have solid 4g at the office.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
hey can you flash to srf 1.2 and test the dropbox link for srf1.2 cause that has the 4g mod that should work, i dont think that efo2 one has a working 4g...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
here flash to srf 1.2 and test this one on 4g: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6400726/SRF12_4gtest.zip

it supposedly works on urban regeneration and srf on 4g, but we need more confirmation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
With all of the SRF 1.2 users there are, I am surprised nobody is giving this a shot. I suppose if nobody else tries it out on 1.2 by days end, I may call and have Hotspot service stopped and see if it is really working like I think it is but I hope someone will try it out before it comes to that. If it doesn't work, a nandroid restore will fix you right back up...just make sure you have a good nandroid made first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i know... maybe people dont like free official tether :(

if @Aryantes can flash to srf 1.2 and test this for us on 4g that would be great :D

LOL if u cancel your service now we can know now :p lol then if it dont work u call them back and say u made mistake and i need it activated lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
7zip using "Deflate" zip compression worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
hi there toadlife, do u mine testing the above dropbox flashable on srf 1.2 on 4g if u have it and report back we need confirmation....

thanks!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Going to wait a couple of more hours before I resort to that. Hopefully someone else will come through before that...
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Can you post what changes were made to settings.apk so it is easier to theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
he did something that has to do with the framework jar for 3g

for the settings he changed the name from sprint hotspot to wireless hotspot and didnt change anything for the OP attachement for 4g in settings.

i know this probaly wont help just throwing in what i know..

any chance you have 4g and srf 1.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
in that settings.apk the only thing that was done was the names in the values/strings.xml was changed from Sprint Hotspot to Wireless Hotspot. for 4g to work , there will be more changes, but nothing that will affect themeing..
