[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Letitride:
The N5's built-in WiFi Hotspot App didn't work for my 5GB data plan either, based on the following -

" ... add a new entry to the global table called "WiFi_on" with a value of 1 "

The WiFi Tether App for rooted devices also did not work & there was an error msg. during the startup, regardless of settings used - used this App when we're on VZW's 3G unlimited data plan although speed was slow & I only tethered when absolutely necessary at places with no other means of broadband access. Now, at 4G LTE and/or HSPA+ speed connecting - it's a new ball game.

Thanks, Jeeeenx's add'l line of "tether_dun_required" with a value of "0" was added to the settings.db

I used aQSLiteManager (free app) from Play Store to open & edit, and use ES File Manager with Root enabled to copy, edit & move back to replace the file. Reboot & it is now working, no "redirect" to the T-Mobile webpage or log-in screen when I launch my WiFi only Nexus 7 - getting excellent LTE/HSPA+ speed at a few popular sites.

Give it a try on the N5, it works for me as I was ready to throw the towel in on this one ... :good: :highfive:

Does Fabio's app work for USB tether?

I tried Fabio's Wifi Tether Router App...it connects with my computer but it says there's no internet access....Is there special configuration for this app in order to work? If so, can someone please post it or PM me....thanks.

roms like DroidKang have this implemented already in case you want to try.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
Yes, I put that DB line in a while ago and it was working. But Its now not working and/or sticking on reboots after flashing the latest Purity. I'm going to try a different rom and see....
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] tatico28:
Well if you edited the line before flashing Purity that file got replaced so you need to do it again.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] uzi132:
Verified :thumbup: T-Mobile's "my account" displays no further hotspot usage after flashing droidkang.

However, the device still tracks tether data under usage. (For curious users such as myself) :p
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chrisnk204:
Been using wifi tether router for couple months and ive tethered over 40gb each month YES FORTY GB OF DATA lol it still is working like a charm best $2 ive ever spent
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] InBefore:
Is ur nexus faulty ? Its preinstalled
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] spy2520:
What t-mobile plans are you guys using and still getting unlimited tethering data? All of them?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jjhiza:
I'm on the $70 unlimited plan, but it only allows for 2.5GB of tethering by default. There are apps that mask the fact that you're tethering, but there are also custom ROMs that have the carrier check disabled to begin with... That means that T-Mobile (or any mobile provider for that matter) won't be able to see that you're tethering. Instead, it will just count towards your data usage.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chjema:
I'm on the same plan.. Which app. Or rom do you use to prevent the tethering date from going up?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jjhiza:
I build my own AOSP ROM, and disable the carrier check myself, but as far as the app I'm using, here you go - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

I haven't had any issues with that app yet, and it's well worth the money.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] scoot0073:
Wifi Tether works on my N5 stock rom jus rooted but I ordered mine from GP.

Sprint is CDMA you won't have those apn settings.

Does anyone have wifi tether router working on Lollipop yet? I've tried several variations in settings, but I' haven't had any luck getting an internet connection with anything but "native tether" mode.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] troyhough:
did you perform a fresh install or an OTA?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] cookiehead2:
I used the google factory image and flashed that over adb with the fastboot commands.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] troyhough:
ok so that is a fresh install. i did sideloaded the OTA (not a fresh install) and it still works after on 5.0

did you try the same instructions that are posted for 4.4.4 on 5.0 and it doesn't work?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] cookiehead2:
Yeah, I've been using the app on 4.4.4 for months without any problems.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] troyhough:
"using the app"? what app is that?

Hi,

I tried rooting my L9 yesterday and everything was fine! But today when I restarted my phone, it got stucked! It not going pass through LG logo. I tried hard-resetting my phone by pressing Power + Vol Down + Home, but still the same issue. Please help! :confused::(
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
Did you remove some system apps after root your phone?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] NidalPawne:
No i didn't..! The phone ran out of battery and then when I switched it on, it is stucked at boot!:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
I think the easiest way to recover it is to use LG mobile support tool. Please search for it in this forum, there are many threads about it and you will get more information in those threads.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] NidalPawne:
Some 30mins ago I tried that! Twice! But after downloading 591mb software, it gets stucked :( and says USB disconnected :( And then when I re-connect the USB cord, that LG tool crashes :( Please help!

Can I get your contact please? I need urgent help please :( WhatsaApp or Viber anything?:crying:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
If LG tool disconnected, maybe you can try other usb port or try to run it again. Download and flashing may take about an hour or two. My skype id is artit.pu but it a little late here, maybe others may assist you.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Shatavarth:
You forgot to install a recovery after rooting? Shouldn't have done that. Recovery is a must.

LG tool is the only hope for you.

[Networking] eTiMaGo:
Hi All,

Got myself a Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) a couple of weeks ago in Singapore, very pleased with it, luckily my pants have large pockets :p

But... I can't get online by WiFi. GPRS works well enough, but i'd rather not have to pay data fees when I can avoid it!

Anyway I can connect to several different wirelss networks with various access points and routers, but can't open any website or log onto MSN. Connection to the access point is fine, IP address is provided by DHCP, but it looks as if the DNS server is not (even manually specifying the server does not help). When I open IE, the status bar shows Locating.... for about 15 seconds then I get a connection lost error.

And it's the same even if I'm running activesync (I could get online on my XDAII this way)...

So, has anyone experienced something similar or can point me to the obvious configuration that I missed, I would be mucho grateful. 8)
[Networking] eTiMaGo:
Well this gets stranger and stranger... After installign pocket mechanic I could verify that the DHCP lease was working properly, IP, DNS and gateways are all assigned properly. But, still no IE, still no MSN. Installed agile messenger for the heck of it, and although it gives a lot of connection error in the beginning, I am able to get on MSN.

So, any thoughts? I did a hard reset already, to no avail...
[Networking] eTiMaGo:
Situation solved, sorta... Installed Opera, works flawlessly... Seems pocket IE just does not like me :p
[Networking] mobiler:
It's not just you.. I have the same problems... (You can see my msg in the Universal forum.. Same **** as yours. PIE and MSN would not work as well as any other internal prg using PIE's engine someway or another.. Third pary networking prg work though, dns is fine, ping is fine, name resolving fine.. i don't likw opera and wonder if you solved this weird problem..

Also if you can tell me the list of today plugins and programs installed you have.. i want to see if there's a correlation between your situation to mine...

thanks,

Ok, quick question, I've always used nexus louder mod because of low volume on my phone due to the headphone jack being a p.o.s. any one know of a way to fix volume on 4.4?

I've tried the usual, i.e. build prop edits and such but haven't been able to make anything work too well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Well, you could use the viper4android app

Its more of a super feature rich dsp manager, but it also has the capability of increasing the volume of headphone audio, speaker audio and bluetooth audio

Hey, just a suggestion, I would try cherry picking from Fitsnugly CM11, they have Quick Toggle Settings setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
Thanks for this. 3G/4G handoff has been seamless. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Multisupermono:
Ooooo! I love new ROMs to try! Thanks for this :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
looks like he just cherry picked them from the cm gerrit so I should be able to add that in (unless he also made local changes)

right now I'm trying to get a build with linaro 4.8 toolchain in to see if linaro or 4.8 gcc breaks anything right now

so far only had a couple of errors stopping the build but they were easily fixed (hopefully no more pointless Werror clfags hidden around lol)

Btw, any ideas on kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
From what I've read, the CM kernel has stopped the random reboots. Would building with another kernel bring them back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
oh, one other thing that would be great, i don't know if it's doable, is a clear button for recents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Not sure how fixing the reboots, but dhackers version of the cm kernel is supposed to at least help

I could switch to it and then see if I can add different patches to bring in more available kernel settings and overclock

It may be possible, I'm sure either AOSPA, slim roms or vanir have that brought up to kitkat in their source

if not then i can at least try to port it from the 4.3.1 sources
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
I haven't seen it yet in any 4.4 rom, but it'd be sweet if you could do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calvinistmac:
So far it's the best CM11 ROM I've tried thus far! This will get me through until January when I'm going to the Nexus 5. Thanks for the hard work! Looking forward to this one getting better & better!

ugh, i think i was using ART and dirty flashed the new version and now i'm bootlooping. logcat has a bunch of stuff about libart.so so it's obviously still trying to use ART. is there any way to get it to use dalvik without wiping? i thought a ROM flash would've taken care of that?

edit: i'm stupid. reflashed previous version, disabled ART, reflash new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Btw, probably no builds for a day or 2, since I'll be busy trying to get a github up and working so maybe others can build a version of my rom for maguro and toroplus too

Enjoying this ROM very much and wanted to thank all those that have helped to get it working so well so soon..just a quick question. Does anyone have any problems with the screen not waking after receiving a SMS? I'm using the old message app and whenever I receive an SMS or MMS, I only have a window of 15seconds or so before the screen goes black and I cannot use the power button to turn it back on for at least 10 minutes?

EDIT

I'm running the 11.18 unofficial version, not the new linaro one...yet ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
Can anyone explain to me why it seems like only a handful of people are having any issues with 3g data connectivity?

Is it because verizon's 4g coverage is so large, that hardly anyone ever switches to 3g?

Is it because of physical location, like I'm in the dc area, is there some network setting that just missing depending on region (apn?)

Is it just dumb luck.

I haven't been able to keep any rom past android 4.2.2 on my phone for long. Sooner or later, I hit a 4g deadzone, and can't get data back till I restart the phone, or sometimes switch data on/off until it comes back.

I've only seen a few posts here and there with people having a similar problem, and no one seems to be looking into it. If anyone has any information about how I could do something to try and fix this, I'd be glad to try it. Also, if anyone knows where it is in source that I should start looking, I'll look.

This rom has been great so far, besides my problems with 3g. Also, just wanted to report that I tried the google experience phone zip I had laying around, and while the phone worked, it did break the wireless network overlay thing again, I had 4 options instead of the two regular ones (lte, 3g), and when I switched it, all hell broke loose. Had to wipe and re-flash to bring it back to life.

So I clicked on over to that post to where you were providing a rundown on how to get the dialer, but the url in the rundown gave me a big fat 404. I feel like the dialer is the last thing that I'm missing from the 4.4 experience. Have another URL possibly? :p

You're right. Sorry about that. I didnt realize the link was broken. I'll attach the zip. You can try flashing it but when I did it, it didnt work. If you follow my instructions in my post earlier, it should work fine. Its the way I've been doing it after every install.

Are these "official" builds going to be a continuation of the work you do here? Or will you keep customizing here, but the officials will be just plain ol' boring omni rom.
