Is there a way to block the profile update so that I don't have to check it every time I use hotspot? The profile updates fairly often and at random times which breaks the mod.

Hello all.

Just to confirm, I just updated the to N950USQU2BQJB. The hot spot mod still worked. I'm surprised it didn't loose the function during the update.

Thanks.

I notice as well you can now be on the internet while one a phone call.

thanks you so much
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] TorxT3D:
thanks ssuraj83 for that confirmation, ive been waiting to see if the update will reset this mod, and any future rooting methods.

can anyone else confirm as well? this dang update notification just wont go away until you update!

11/15 - Sprint Update - Version: N950USQU2BQJB/N950U0YN2BQJB/N950USQU2BQJB

Hotspot still works here, but after turning it on having it work fine for several minutes, I lose Internet. I get DNS problems on the phone and connected hotspot devices. I have to reset the phone to reset the DNS, toggling hotspot and data does not help. Anybody else having this issue?

I wish I did not update.

This morning I realized I'd never "thanked" the OP for this. I thought of it this morning when today's update showed up on my phone. I didn't update yet since I don't know what it entails, and if it will break this mod.

Huge thanks for this as the hotspot mod has always been something I loved about rooting! Hopefully it will still works after today's update

I'm trying to do the same thing for my wife's Galaxy s 7 on Sprint just the regular s 7 and I read that this will work on that phone but I'm not finding the information anywhere on how to do it, is there any way that you can provide me a link if different from the instructions here to do so on her 7 from Sprint not the note or edge 7 if that even matters. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Thats_cool_bro:
And here you go.. It should work because from the S7 to the Note 8, a majority of the system files are alike.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Droid-Da-Khan:
Hot Spot comes on but how do you connect

Proud owner of the Note S8. I followed the instructions for modifying the APN's listed in the directions. The issue now is finding the password for the HotSpot. I thought it was "password" but that is not it. I get the error "Authentication error occurred". I am assuming a bad password. Any help to get this Hotspot going would appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Wacky2bakky:
Has anyone been able to get hotspot working on the latest Oreo build? I'm on a Sprint note 8 with the latest Oreo build and my options are grayed out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Droid-Da-Khan:
I'm a noob

I figured out why it wasn't working. Once, I turned on the Hotspot you have to doubleclick it. It then opens up and allows you to configure hotspot name, password, security another other details. So, I changed the default password and hotspot name and now I am good to go. It is the small details that are obvious to some but when they are left out it is frustration for others.

Haven't been on for a while but needed a hot-spot hack without root so thought I'd take a shot. Glad I did.

I'm on BRB4 and this works fine. I did not get the "you don't have hot spot permission" message, and my laptop runs faster off my phone than my home wifi (866Mbps vs. 300Mbps!!).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Collserra:
I haven't had any luck with the method that's been posted, or the video posted. I get a message saying "Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile.", Until after Sprint finishes configuring the network, then APN settings are grayed out (and not able to be selected)...

I've tried a few times, using ##BRAND# and also just trying regular reboots.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] nickelghandi:
Not sure why it isn't working for you. Timing is very key here. It seems to be that you need to find the sweet spot in between when the config is occurring and when it is finished to get it to work.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

So are you saying that you used your 10 GB of hotspot and this gave you back un-throttled speed? Did you get any bill increases?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] nickelghandi:
It might be against forum rules, but I am not sure. If the developer makes it freely available elsewhere, then I think you can post a link to that. I had a link to a host on my YouTube video, but I took it down because I didn't think that was fair to the developer.

You can use my free app, or get the full version of Shortcut Master. I did both lol.

My app has no ads or permissions and is free. I have a Pro version in the Play Store for people who want to support it, but that is optional.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] wackydroid:
Fortunately, I still have Shortcut Master...

I had to do the ##BRAND# thingee after today's update to get it to not be greyed out in SM, but then it worked perfectly!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] SayWhat10:
sprint is now basically giving most people free hotspots. I got the free 50gig one for having a legacy plan. question is, using sprint hotspot, without using this hack, wouldn't make the hotspot more reliable or faster or anything right? I will never use more than 50gig a month tethering so I can probably not have to worry about updates wiping out this hack

How can i get your app to open up on the s9+ sprint i hit the open let setting button but not ting happens
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] ryansmusic:
This fixed it for me: I'm even updated to the latest July 2019 security patch and after a profile update.

I went into settings>connections>mobile networks>Access Point Names> select "add" and created an identical APN to the main one (I'm on sprint and mine was named "APN2 LTE|EHRPD internet"). The new APN being identical in every way (even the name) except I added dun to the APN type. That's all it took. Now I can share mobile data and WiFi without any issue and works great.

If you're on Pie shortcut master (nor any other program) won't launch LTE.funtionality anymore. Also ##brand# does nothing because the default for pie was to have those settings grayed out (unless you had the settings changed before the update and hadn't done a profile update yet). Anyway, enjoy!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] prboy1969:
I can second this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] Xyberz:
Just noticed that even after creating the new APN settings, that Sprint has figured this out somehow and is now registering my hotspot usage under my 50GB monthly allocated amount. It's odd because I was using a ton of it before with the exact same settings and it registered under my regular data usage. Has Sprint caught on and able to tell the difference now?

Luckily PDANet still works like a charm when I can't rely on wireless hotspot to work on a non-rooted phone. By far the most reliable method of sharing my data connection with my laptop for years without them ever showing it being used as a hotspot, since it's technically not anyways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mod] ajent:
They activated 20GB hotspot onto my plan, which kills the method for me, and I already went through the 20GB. lol I guess PDANet is the only other way to tether without it showing up as hotspot?

Tested on my XCU device.

ROM boots. Wifi doesn't works. Camera is fixed by the J5 camera fix. Tried flashing ExplosionKernel but the ROM doesn't boots. It loops on Samsung logo (not boot animation). Sim worked and also the call worked fine as well. RAM is not bad. Battery life is bad. ROM is almost smooth but after I flashed stock J5 kernel it was extremely smooth.

So far only bugs are

-Wi-Fi doesn't works

-Battery life sucks

-Kinda lags while scrolling through the UI (probably because of ExplosionKernel, because most of the ROMs I tried slowed down because for this kernel. Besides it was fixed after flashing stock J5 kernel)

Forgot to capture screenshots :P

Hi!

I'm actually trying to port J3 Pro's Camera to the J5 (via Has.007's Nameless J5), but it doesn't work. I haven't tried libraries yet, so there is still a possibility.

Try this:

1. Copy SamsungCamerax from any On7 or J3-based ROM.

2. Copy these libs from aformented ROM:

libcameraclient.so

libcameraservice.so

libseccameracore.so

libseccameraeffect.so

Other libseccamera* libs

Check if that works.

P.S. I could see that Prime 3.1's Lock Screen wallpaper has been used (that was actually from the OnePlus 5). xD
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] cpt_Sherman:

[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] aurelio.9581:
I have tried but not works, another way?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] TenSeventy7:
Hi!

Kernels are separate from the ROM's system files itself since Prime uses different kernels for each variant. This saves me time uploading since the ZIP is smaller. This should apply to build.props, too.

It should be found at /aroma/device_variant/(DeviceCode)/boot.img. Note that the G530H uses a universal kernel (sourced from Nameless J5 that has FM and OTG working at the same time; with permission) that is found at the G530H folder. ;)

Check /system/etc/permissions. Check if there is a 'compass' permission in there. If not, find one from any ROM that has a working one.
