[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddylonglegs:
Hello. This did not seem to be a device-specific question, so I hope I am posting it in the right place. If not, please let me know.

I was always using PDANet for tethering on my unlimited Verizon data plan. I liked PDANet a lot because it had a "hide usage" mode. I believed using that mode, some sort of proxy was used so Verizon would never be able to tell I am tethering.

Now that I updated to 4.4.4, PDANet unfortunately no longer works (only in USB mode which won't be possible for m y situation). However, I rooted my phone and installed Moto Tether and it is working great. Problem is that it's using Verizon's built-in tethering app which I am 99.9% sure will show up on Verizon's side as tether usage.

Is there any app for a rooted phone that works on 4.4.4 but also offers to hide tethering as a feature?

Thank you kindly in advance. :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiger123uk:
Hi everyone,

I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!

So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!

The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.

The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!

I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!

Thanks so much

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TayzGpa:
I have a SM-T800 and can use iMediaShare to stream video from it to my LG flat screen with no problems as long as I am connected to my home router.

I also have a TV in my 5th wheel which I would like to use to view video that is on my Tab S.

The problem (I think) is that there is no network router available in the 5th wheel to act as the access point for the TV and Tab S.

Is there a way to set up the Tab S to act as the "router" for the TV to connect to?

I have tried "portable Hot Spot" as well as VPN that comes with Android 5. Cant get either to work.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Nevermind. Figured it out.

Project abandoned, please do not submit pull requests.

Disclaimer: The wordings in the thread are meant to be noob-friendly and for newer developers that have just dipped their feet into Android platform development. Hence, they won't be accurate in many places for the 'geek'. Also, we had started distributing shallow cloned sources with a depth of '1' instead of non-repo sources (as they are more or less of the same size). So this should not be a problem for the ROM developers in our opinion as they can be fetched by syncing.

Hello!

We, Android Developers, have many problems. One such of them is "SLOW INTERNET" or even "LOW BANDWIDTH".

Due to these problems, we are unable to sync the BIG chunk of Android source codes from the respective repositories.

Hence, most of the new and learning developers just fail at the first step: Downloading The Source Code!

So, here I present you with a thread, which contains links to download "HIGHLY COMPRESSED", untouched (unmodified) and full Android source codes of many different ROMs!

The links to the highly compressed source codes you will find here are not uploaded by me alone. There are many other people that have contributed.

Some of them are: [MENTION=5391886]DigiGoon[/MENTION] [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] and @regalstreak (me)

​

So, Let's begin!

First things first.

You should know what a repo is.

I quote XDA:

When you download a source code with repo, you get a folder named .repo in your working directory. It contains all the compressed .git format files that need to be in the source code.

After the source has been downloaded, the repo tool decompresses the files from the ".repo" folder and you get the source code in the working directory itself!

This project will give you a highly compressed shallow cloned and full tarball of the sources (for those who can't download it via repo or have limited speeds on github/aosp servers). More information is given in the FAQ section. It is must-read. Without it, you won't understand how to use these.

Note: You cannot go from CM12 source to CM12.1 or going CM12 to CM13 as these are different branches on the CyanogenMod repo. No way doing that. You will have to manually download the new source.

​

So, We are done with the information!

Now, The interesting part. The sources!

Note: All links on this thread are tap friendly! They open in new tabs :)

I have divided this into several sections for ease of reading and getting the sources. They are:

[Android Software Development] regalstreak:
As you know that we have been using the Skadoosh script recently, which is made by me ([MENTION=5325978]regalstreak[/MENTION]), [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5391886]DigiGoon[/MENTION], all our sources are being uploaded to one common folder on AndroidFileHost.

This is an automated process in which you submit a Pull Request on the Skadoosh's git and the required source will be available to you soon after it.

More information regarding the process is on Post 3 by [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION]

The link to the folder where all the sources are uploaded is

Here

The old upload afh folder can be found

If you have any other issues regarding the sources, please mention us here. We will be happy to help you. Please read the FAQ before doing stuff.
[Android Software Development] MSF Jarvis:
Originally, we have had a "Ask on the thread, we'll try" approach to how things work. This is changing now.

While this worked good enough for those asking for the sources, the people who did the actual work were overburdened. Frankly, the process was pretty sketchy. I personally faced the burden part when there were about 6 or 7 ROMs to do! I actually forgot about one guy who made the request earliest, which kinda sucked.

Going forward, this won't happen now. We have a script up on [MENTION=5325978]regalstreak[/MENTION]'s Github. Updates to it are synced to my server and executed.

​

The process for requesting sources is now something like this :

Go to the Github repo and edit the compress.bash script

Start a Pull Request

Wait for it to be merged

Wait for even more time to let it upload and one of us to send the confirmation here.

Do whatever the heck you want with those sources!

​

NOTE: The compress.bash looks like this in a classic example of how to do it WRONG.

name=AOSP
manifest=[url]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest[/url] -b android-4.0.1_r1
branch=android-6.0.1_r55

./skadoo.sh $name $manifest $branch

This was after This PR was merged and is being shown as the perfect way to mess it up. You are ALREADY passing the branch parameter separately, so adding '-b android-4.0.1_r1' looks like a shining example of blind copy paste. Don't do that. Change the name, manifest and branch with some general application of the faculty of common sense.

Interested users are also suggested to read this strongly worded post.
[Android Software Development] regalstreak:
FAQ

Q1> How should I extract the source?

Ans:

First you will have to join the archive parts into one big archive. Download all the parts. Then put all parts in one folder. Verify md5sum by

md5sum -c *.md5sum

Then do

cat *.tar.* > yourbigarchivename.tar.xz

Just quote me if you don't understand this. I'll help you out.

If your archive is in .tar.xz format, do this:

Open Terminal

Now cd to the drive where you have downloaded the sources

Extract it

tar -xvJf (file name here).tar.xz

If your archive is in .tar.gz format, so do this:

Open Terminal

Now cd to the drive where you have downloaded the sources

Extract it

tar -xvzf (file name here).tar.gz

Now you have extracted the source.

Q2> I am not able to extract the source. What should I do?

Ans: You cannot extract source with GUI on the Archive Extractor. So, try the method I mentioned.

Q3> Is the size of all files 2GB? I saw the size 2GB on AndroidFileHost!

Ans: The mentioned size on AFH is incorrect. AndroidFileHost has some problems while showing file sizes for files above 2GB. You need to click on Download once to view the correct size!

Q4> How do you compress them? I mean, I need the command so that I can help you out!

Ans: Our script is open source. You can view it here: https://github.com/regalstreak/skadoosh

Q5> What are shallow and full sources?

Ans: Shallow sources are the ones that just have the latest or the HEAD commits in each subproject. You can read more about it from here. Full are the ones that have all the bits from the starting of the subprojects and hence the archives have a large file size.

Q6> How do I use these sources?

Ans: First, you will have to extract them as mentioned above. You should get a .repo folder. In the same folder itself (not inside .repo but the folder that contains .repo), you will have to update the local work tree. You can update it by using

repo sync -c -f --force-sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags -j8

This command will help you to use minimum data/internet as it does not download extra tags or clone bundles.

If you do not want to use data at all, you can use this:

repo sync -c -f --force-sync --no-clone-bundle --no-tags -j8 --local-only

This will not fetch anything from the internet. Happy compiling!

I always wanted to build a ROM but 18GB downloads always stopped me to do so. This is amazing!
