I see, that makes sense. I just wasn't sure what exactly the issue could of been.

I do prefer it being updated with the ROM but didn't want to bother the Dev in case it was already being worked on.

Just wanted to try out the Hotspot, and it works great. Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Can anyone tell me if this is working on Calkulin's ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Hi,

I am stock EK02 ROM, Kernel, Modem. Except I used sfhub's Auto Root, EK02 + CWM and NoCIQ. From what I have read in this thread, this mod should work if I use the Odexed EK02 Mod. Can anyone confirm this?

Also currently I have stayed fairly stock (just using sfhub's Root) so that I can get OTA updates still and I am generally happy with everything. If I apply this Mod will I still be able to get OTA updates? Or is there away to also remove this MOD later?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You want odex. You won't be able to install the ota anyway cause you are rooted with cwm. Plus xda will most likely get the update before you do so don't worry. Just flash and have fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks Crawrj. I believe I can use the Auto Root to remove CWM and restore stock kernel so I would be able to do the OTA Update. At least that was my understanding from that thread.

I came from the Epic 4g and did a lot of flashing. I just am going into it slower this time I guess. My phone actually works flawless right not and a lot of the ROMs seam to introduce some bugs, but I am sure I will not hold out much longer. I do enjoy flashing and playing with new things hehe.

One thing holding me back is the ODIN counter that is on this phone. Although I do see some ROMs that seem to bypass this somehow.

What is your opionion on a ROM I should try? Caulk's ROM sounds pretty nice. I was also thinking of the Odexed Blue ROM. Seeing as I am rooted and have CWM should I be able to just wipe and flash Caulk's ROM at this point without needing to use ODIN at all?

Sorry for the noob questions, but like I said just kind of getting into rooting and flashing on the Epic Touch and can't really afford a lot of down time, so trying to do it right the first time.

For sure going to try this MOD though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
No problem. Between family and modding I haven't had time to try out any of the roms unfortunately. But if I were to flash a rom those would be the first two I would test. And yes you just flash and not worry about odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Use his latest version, 2.5.1. It includes the hotspot mod with 4g in it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Great, Thanks again. Appreciate your responses
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I tried it on Calks 2.0 Rom and it didn't work. It had the problem of the power options not working that other users have experienced. Updated to Calks 2.5 EL13 and it works great. You have to be on EL13 as Crawrj noted. BTW. If any of you are having trouble connecting to the hotspot on a WinXP machine, try lowering the security options in the hotspot settings from WPA2 to WPA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Is there a difference between this threads AIO MOD and the following thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390304? Other than the one I listed is deodexed EL13 only.

Edit: Also found this link http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?2984-ACS-Mod-EL13-Deodex-Odex-AIO-Mod-Updated-18-Dec-11. Will this work to remove the AIO EL13 Mod from this thread if I wanted too?

Is there an uninstaller for the EK02 version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
This thread is the Hotspot only. It is not the AIO. And I didn't do a uninstaller for EK02 AIO but can put one together.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
OH! My mistake, thought this was AIO. OOPS. Had read a post on the first page asking what was in the AIO and mistook it to be included in this. Sorry for all the questions. But Thanks

If you put out an uninstaller for EK02 THANKS for that too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
It's no problem. I haven't updated the EK02 AIO yet. The link is here though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373990.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok Thanks, I was looking at that thread and the

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
The site was changed over the weekend and it screwed all my links up. I have fixed it now. Don't install the EK02 version. I am updating it with the new hotspot. It will be up later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
Hey crawrj,

Quick question... I was mucking around the install file because I just wanted to see if there was anyway for me to mod it to support the SB 1.9.8 theming and not remove the reboot/power mod.

Anyways... looking at the install script- does installing this delete your batterystats.bin? If so, why would we need to delete the battery config file to install the mod?

-Grand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
To be honest with you I didn't even realize it was there. The script is based off of an early Calk script, and I saw that it was clearing temp files but didn't notice the battery bin until you said something. However, it won't hurt anything. I have been using the script on my phone often and don't notice any difference between this and what I was using before which didn't wipe the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Indeed. Calkulin updated to 2.5.1 a couple hours after I downloaded 2.5.0 and the hotspot hack is now baked into the Rom. Nice work devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Where is this at? I might have frozen it by mistake
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
It is just the regular sprint hotspot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Dunce cap for me haha, thanks man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
LOL No problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strippedman:
In case anyone is curious I am on UnNamed v2.0.1 and this hack works GREAT for me, it should work great for you! Use the EL13 De'odexed version. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryanh85:
Thanks for the mod! Just flashed the EL13 deodexed version. 4G hotspot works but I noticed after flashing the mod, I can not get into recovery from the power menu anymore. Selecting recovery freezes the phone for about 10sec and then the phone reboots. To get into recovery I have to manually do it. It doesn't really bother me. just curious if Anyone else getting this? (on UnNamed v 2.0.1 rom)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kalel_293:
im having some problems after i flashed el13 deodexed...basically what happens is sometimes when the phone wakes, my lockscreen is in inverted and i cant do anything but to pull the battery to reboot...anyone have this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
I have the same issue, crawrj explained the reason why.

You can find this information on page 5 (to avoid it being repeated/etc..)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You must be talking about there aio instead. Or you are using a rom that has crt and rotation animation enabled. Some people have reported that using those two together causes problems. If you are using the aio you can download the new version and then install the nocrt zip to disable crt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
Works great. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Just flashed the update. Its working great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sd_N:
I am getting the same result. Tried deodex el13 and ek02. Thanks for bringing this up. About the broken recovery/reboot option...

Checking page 5....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
I thought I would just throw this out here and ask... Anyone 'know enough' to bake in the restart menu mod into this possibly? Approach the problem from the other angle, as opposed to waiting for our ROM devs, or those who are on unsupported roms?

Anyways, just thought I would throw the idea out :) -Grand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You would likely break something else. The reason the rom dev should do the update is because they know exactly what changes they made to the three files being used by the power mod. The power mod uses android.policy.jar, framework.jar and framework-res.apk. We have modified framework.jar for the hotspot mod but you can't really recreate it without knowing how it was being called from framework-res.apk or being handed off to android.policy.jar. I could build you a power option/hotspot setup very easily but it would likely break other things in the rom. Or at the very least remove functions that were included in the rom. So it should really be done by the dev of the rom. I am sure if you ask politely they will at least consider it and let you know if they plan on putting the hotspot mod in the rom. It would be way easier to add the hotspot mod into the rom then try to build a rom around the hotspot mod.

Jut give it some time. I am sure the major roms will have it included very soon. Calk's rom already has it, Strong Steve already has it and PhantomHacker already has it to name a few. I am sure others will update as soon as possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
After install just use the sprint hotspot right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
This is just the 4G Hotspot hack, not the All In One (AIO) Mod which includes all those things.

To find out if it works, go to your Sprint Hotspot and enable it.. If 4G doesn't disconnect, it works..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
It's available for the EG30 here:

but I don't know if it's available with 4G for the EG30?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yes this only works on 3G. I will look at EG30 but likely won't support it done it is officially outdated and soon to be two versions behind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Which version do I get, deodexed or odexed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
It depends on which rom you have installed. If the rom says it is deodexed you need deodexed. If the rom says completely stock and doesn't specify deodexed then you want odexed. But it all depends on what you are running. You can use a root file explorer like es file explorer to look in system/app for .odex files. If you have them you want odexed version. If you don't you want deodexed version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I am running this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367971

So, odexed I assume?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yep you got it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bobbywatts:

Flashed it...took FOREVER to boot after flashing this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badkarmah187:
I just flashed the EL13 deoxed version. Took a few minutes to boot up again.

I don't know if 4G is working, cause this is the 1st time I've used the hotspot app.

however, speed for my current location is:

98 kb/sec when 4g is turned on.

50-60 kb/sec when 3G is used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Use the Speedtest.net app on whatever is connecting to it, or the website if it's a PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Never heard of that.

So how does one uninstall this mod? Maybe a zip to go back to stock can be added to the OP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
That isn't the hotspot mod. That means you have the rotation animation installed. Either from the rom you are using or a mod that had it included.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
The question is why would you want to ;) Download a completely stock rom to match what you are using (ek02, el13, deodex, odex). Pull out framework.jar and services.jar. Put them in the hotspot zip and flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
In case any issues arise with this mod, that's all. One should always be able to back out from such mods like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yup, it's called restore nand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
Any chance you could integrate reboot and and recovery in the next aio?

Hotspot will not work and says I need the data plan (never saw that pop up before)

Also PowerOptions EL13, sends me into a boot loop.

Would anyone know why the donwload speed while tethered in 4G be around 5-20k and when not tethered its about 10mbits down?

Upload on tethered device is normal, 180-250k upload, but download is horribly slow. 3G is faster.

I'm using the Lenovo K1 tablet. I connected to my home wifi and its working just fine; 20mbit down.

Also using the hotspot hack built in to Calkulins 2.6 with EL13. I'm guessing it's the same hack or mod in that rom?

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Not certain. Unfortunately I don't have 4G so I can't test but the people that have tested for me say it works great.

New update for EL26 posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So, by using this mod...wifi tethering to a tablet or PC or anything else is not tracked by Sprint at all? I'm moving today so I have to use my phone for internet until Wednesday, and I don't want Sprint to get pissy about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
nope. I use it all the time for my laptop/ipod touches and never had an issue. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So what exactly does this mod do, just remove the call-home feature from the Sprint HotSpot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
Basically it removes the check that the app does to verify if you indeed have this service on your account allowing the app to just enable and run the hotspot service.

If you run the app without the mod you will see it verifying with the sprint network if you indeed pay for hotspot. then it will stop and error out saying you do not have the package and to contact sprint to add it.

When this is installed it doesnt do that check per say and just runs. The OP can explain further what it actually does I am just talking in general.

Now this doesnt mean that you can just start tethering tons and tons of gigs of usage. If you do that, your account will get flagged. However with occasional use and all shouldnt be a problem. I am sitting at 4 gig of usage for the month. 3 for last month. No issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yeah I mean it'd be for like NetFlix and web surfing until I get my Fios transferred over, earliest appointment I could get was Wednesday. Either way, I only have 3G where I live so it'll be painfully slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
Lol yea. That should be fine. I wouldn't try netflix IMO. Anytime I have tried streaming over it I haven't been impressed for the 3g speeds. Ymmv. Now 4g is awesome for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
How bad is 3G? I mean where I am, it's not bad. I think my 4G is interrupted by the Verizon tower out my front door about 500 feet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
again try it. You may have better luck but when I always did it, i would get constant buffering/choppiness and that is with decent signal. It wont hurt for ya to try it. For web surfing ect it will be fine. Slow compared to reg internet but fine.

Hi I am on the Stock Rooted No CWM, can I install this zip via Rom Toolbox?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Does the Verizon tower close to my house make sense for why my 4G cuts out when I pull into the neighborhood? I get it every now and again, but it goes back to 3G almost right away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
It could be. It can also depend on where the sprint tower is located at as well. Is your development on the edge of its coverage? I am not an expert on the differences in towers/signals so I wouldnt be able to answer that for ya but I have seen things like that affect signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
According to network.sprint.com, there is a Sprint tower basically across the main road from the new house. 1/4 mile away at most.

But I do have a ? I want to ask. After I did this I decided to check if the usb tethering from the wireless setting would work and it went through just fine didn't fail like it would before. So is it safe to use either one of them or should I stick strickly to the sprint hotspot app??

Yes USB tethering is working just like wifi tethering. Same as the OG Epic.

then error massage "E:signature verification failed"

Installation aborted.

Can you help on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Make sure the stock EK02 is also Odexed, as both have to be either Odexed or Deodexed.

Could be a Bad DL (HotspotMod) or Bad Flash.

Can Download the HotspotMod again, and then flash again, and see if that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spunky2008:
Thanks for the help...but ironically, after I manually copied those 4 files to the system folder using root explorer, sprint hotspot works fine now.

I am still quite confused about this "signature verification failed" thing, because I have tried the AIO mod flash in recovery mode previously and it also gave me such message and then aborted installation.

Any clues?

I use Quick Boot to access Recovery with almost every ROM, except when I restore a ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spunky2008:
Hmmm...seems this could be a common issue.

Someone mentioned in the post that he can toggle to turn off the "signature verification". However, I could not find it at all in the recovery mode in mine which is after the "1-click root".

Looks like the recovery mode showing in mine is <3e> version?

and it has only 4 rows to select from:

-reboot system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

I am using the second one to try to install the mod file where I get the "signature verification failed" error, and it doesn't have the so called "advance" setting to toggle the signature verification...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Sounds like you have stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to flash the zip. Install Chris's or Steady's kernel.
