Oh how I hate how stupid I am going to sound in a sec....

How do I flash the signed-mobileap.vibrant etc etc. I just downloaded and installed the Clockworkmod recovery and have flashed it, but how do i flash the signed-mobileap.vibrant file? I know I sound pretty dim right now but bare with me please. Honestly, I don't get what "flash" is and although I have CWM installed and flashed I really haven't a single clue what to do next. Can someone please explain to what the heck it means to flash it and how on earth to do it.

I just downloaded the 2nd .zip (version 2) for samsung vibrant onto my desktop and am staring at the contents on peazip about to cry. :confused: What am I supposed to do and how. Am I supposed to mount my phones storage and drag the .zip onto the phone memory and then go into CWM and reboot into recovery? Please help a gal out and make me some sense outta this mess. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Just use your phone to download the zip that way you don't have to worry about moving it. Then once you have the file on your phone boot into recovery. Then select intall zip file from sd. Navigate to the file it should be in download folder.
[Vibrant Android Development] xculliber:
Thanks works fine.

This works fine. Lost it after phone crashed. Thanks OP

So I am using CM10 and have always been able to use mobile hotspot that is integrated into cm/9/10 but recently whenever I use the internet on my PC from phone, the browser loads a T-Mobile page saying I need to purchase a tether package.

So my question : will this mask my tether usage ? I don't care to pay for tether, I already pay for data.
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
No. They are detecting your browser user-agent string along with using a funky MTU designed to catch you as well. You need to spoof that to look like an Android device or pay up.
[Vibrant Android Development] imilleson:
Spoofing the user agent I can do, but how the heck would I mask my max transmission unit? Isn't that set by the protocol and there's no way to change it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
The MTU is under user control. You cannot make it larger than the particular IP stack supports but you CAN force it smaller.

The carriers have gotten quite sneaky....
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Ugh,

I know this has been said over-and-over in so many threads (and this is the dev forum, not help-desk) but the /sdcard directory is the internal storage, and that's where you need to place any flashable zip. Clockwork will only see the internal storage as your SD card, so don't ever place anything actually on your physically removable sd card.

Since you have clockwork installed, the update.zip on the internal /sdcard directory is clockwork, its loaded via stock recovery, into the ramdisk, and cleared at every reboot, so if you want to keep clockwork, keep that zip file exactly where it is.

When you reboot into recovery, if you do it manually, select re-install packages, this will load the clockwork update.zip and launch clockwork, then select install zip from sdcard, choose zip, etc. You don't need to rename the signed-mobileap.zip file.

cheers,

=)

Thank you very very much!! I appreciate the time it took to put that together and hopefully if others get to this point they will see this posted. Again, thank you sir.

Update: This appears to be problem free for me currently. I am able to access remote applications I could not on ad-hoc.

Works better than the other aps I've tried. Still can't establish a vpn connection across my tethered connection though.

Also volume control from within settings is producing FC's, might wasn't to check all clicks in settings, please. Otherwise excited about the progress!!
[Vibrant Android Development] tpreludesh:
First off i would like to give a large amount of thanks to the dev for porting this app over as it was the one thing i was really missing from the generic SGS. that being said, I found a nifty trick to use with this if you do not want to stay rooted for any reason. I recently flashed the zip file with the mobile ap onto my vibrant and for some reason or another got tired of having root and nothing to do with it right now. i decided to unroot using the one-click method on the pc, and once it was completed, i noticed that i still had the mobile ap app on my phone. i went to activate it and try it, and sure enough, it works perfectly. i now have an unrooted stock vibrant with mobile ap the way it should have been all along and i wil tell you what, its freaking awesome. just some food for thought

This is AMAAAZING

Interesting.

100% K.O. Derf.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Errrrrrr After flashing this I get a Force Close if I hit "Vibrate Intensity" in the settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
Same here
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
So far, that makes brightness, volume, vibrate intensity slider adjustments produce FC's. Just putting this together for the OP.

Thanks for the work in putting this together!
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
...and even with all those quirks MobileAP is still awesome and still worth it to me.

Thanks so much for this, the minor quirks I am sure will be worked out in time
[Vibrant Android Development] fearmonkey:
Odd, but I see the same FM messages in a logcat from my vibrant. Haven't installed mobileap either nor put any random fm related libs on it..
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Is the OP working on a fix for this? Had to do a Nandroid because it broke my market, still awsome, just not worth a broken phone. Barnicle will do for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
If you read the post. Hes working on the fix after work. I know its 8 pages. but read. We all do.
[Vibrant Android Development] Alkaloid:
I noticed earlier that the usb settings under "applications" are now gone in the settings menu.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
Theres a way to remove this w/o nandroid?
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
Its probably a stupid q but... What will "mobile ap" do that say barnacle or wireless tether won't?

Will it work with my 360 without three need of a bridge? Or work with others phones?

I would definitely like to have another tether option though, wireless tether kinda sucks and barnacle is finicky with me..

Thanks guys...

[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
It works in infrastructure mode like a wireless router. It should work with any device. I connected my android tablet to it yesterday outside. worked fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
Wow, that would be amazing! So its like the 2.2 tether? To be honest, I will donate once it is stable.

How many devices can it connect to at the same time? Can it encrypt?

..how exciting! I would use this daily

Yes, You get a key. It works fine here. I have no issues at all. Stable for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] ultra spikey:
You dont get FC's when changing the brightness, volume, or any other settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
For those that want market back, like I did, before this gets fixed, here's a really basic revert. It doesn't remove everything, but does put things back enough to make Market work. I'm replacing everything that was replaced, but not deleting all the libraries. It hasn't caused me any trouble to do it this way, but it might. So be aware of it. Wifi works fine, Market works, of course MobileAP is gone now. :D

Hopefully we can get a fixed version of this hack later. It's a great idea. Too bad TMO sucks and pulled it. Just flash from Clockwork/ROM Manager.

Nice work OP, I just need Market more than MobileAP right now. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
I am not having any issues with market at all. Only issues I have are the same as what everyone else has listed with FC when under options under settings for things like brightness.

I have also noticed a new option under settings/applications that I am pretty sure no one has mentioned and that wasn't there before.

Samsung Apps.

Just thought I would mention that as no one else has.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
I have no issue at all with market. I just get the FC's in Settings. Didn't have much time to look into it last night. Got a few hours free right now to look into the FC's
[Vibrant Android Development] tpreludesh:
i too have the FC issues, but i did find that the brightness slide in the notification bar still works for adjusting brightness, also if you use the power settings widget, it gives you 2 or 3 different brightness settings. as far as the vibrate intensity, i couldnt find a work around for that but im sure the DEV will fix things as soon as he can.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I have no market issues at all, just the fc's on the settings
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
Ok the fix has been uploaded! no more FC's
[Vibrant Android Development] floepie:
Thanks you, OP! Not to sound alarmist, but I've had some pretty poor luck with Mediafire in the past with slightly corrupt downloads that look fine at first glance. And, it's happened several times. Perhaps an MD5 hash could be kindly requested?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Great work dude. Im going to flash the new one now. How's the radio?

Let me know if i can help. Im glad i could help you get the AP going :) this is awsome for infrastructure mode.

This should be a sticky! Its one of the reasons to get the EURO and we have it!
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
FMRadio is next task.
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Works great. No more fc's.

Only thing I have noticed is that my speeds using MobileAP are about half the speed of using wireless tether pre7. I have tested using the same test servers and wireless pre7 is always faster on upload and download speeds. Anyone else seeing this?

I do love the MobileAP program and it does seem to work flawlessly with the new fix, just slower.

I am using WEP on pre7 and MobileAP uses wpa2 I beliece could this account for the speed differences.
[Vibrant Android Development] pgiven:
works great, thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Installed this and on first boot it was stuck on the Galaxy S screen. I almost crapped my pants. I shut off the phone and on the second boot everything worked perfectly. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
it was stuck on the on the samsung screen because of the dexpreopt.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I'm getting an aborted message when trying to flash, I'm doing everything through the phone and using clockwork to instal
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
Gonna try using the computer when I get home, just wanted to try it out:)
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I got it working through my computer, I don't notice any speed issues you noticed. I'm getting the same speeds through my phone and my computer tethered. Great work once again
[Vibrant Android Development] dmtaub:
What is the difference between this and say barnacle? I have barnacle right now and it works just fine. Wondering if I should or need to install.
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
ok so what fc's does this fix? the settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] Genesis3:
No more FCs..... very, very nice - thanks!

[Vibrant Android Development] tpreludesh:
ok so for those that had lost their USB settings that were under applications, they are not lost, they gopt moved to the about phone secction, however, i did notice one thing right now, the firmware update option under settings is gone, is it possible to get this back? i want my normal menus back with my firmware update option back, or i have no way to check for anything new. any ideas? or is there an option to revert to stock without this installed anymore?
[Vibrant Android Development] jaker.the.skater:
good to know about the usb settings. as of now the only way to revert is through nandroid if you made one... or there's always factory reset. i'm sure the op could make a quick uninstall though.

edit: wait a minute my software updated button is back in settings where its supposed to be. yours isnt?
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
If you don't see "software update" or "usb settings" you aren't using v2 posted yesterday.

[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Correct. It works fine here on V2 and all options work + no FC's.

Please flash V2 to fix problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] marsupial99:
Just wanted to say that this is great. Huge thanks to the op for getting this ported over. Here was what I did to test it:

- started up AP on my vibrant

- had a coworker connect to the vibrant's AP with his TMO blackberry

- enabled UMA ona the coworkers' blackberry and disable wireless network

- had the coworker call my vibrant through UMA connected through my vibrant's wifi AP

Worked like a charm and we had a short conversation.

:p
[Vibrant Android Development] Jayrod1980:
The unsigned version actually showed a kernel change under "about phone" and with usb you could choose usb tethering, so whether it was intended or not it was in there.
[Vibrant Android Development] tpreludesh:
no i was on v1 not v2 which was posted yesterday, i reverted back to full stock though through odin, i will just wait for 2.2 or cm 6.1, right now i am happy with my vibrant the way it is. i did notice though that the kernal did change after i flashed v1, was that in order to enable the mobile ap or was it just how it happened to be compiled

Don't see the Mobile AP option

I'm a noob. I renamed the file to update.zip, placed it on the internal SD. Used clockwork to reboot. Selected 'apply update.zip'. When it rebooted, I still can't see Mobile AP under the Settings>Wireless and network. Everything looks pretty much the same. What am I doing wrong? Heeelp. :)

UPDATE: Got it! Just left the file name signed-mobileapv2.zip as is.
[Vibrant Android Development] BlkSquad:
Any word on whether or not this would work on captivate? I'd be more than happy to donate to the beer fund if it works :) I would just flash and test if it works but its ben a real pita the last few times I've had to flash my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] likingandroid:
Excellent. Works great. Getting 5.50 MPS on speedtest.net.
[Vibrant Android Development] jeremiah_mn:
Working great for me, just tested with my laptop, getting same speeds on speedtest from my laptop as I am on the phone. Thanks a lot op for getting this, now I can connect my ps3 to the internet again. I know it's asking a lot, but any chance of getting a widget to turn the ap on/off? Thanks, Jeremiah
[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:

[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
that is exactly why i hate these fake-flash recoveries!
[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:
updated, now rebooting, as with most clockworkmod flashes, its taking awhile on the Galaxy S logo screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:
I see the mobileAP setting, but upon going into it, it just sits there and after awhile I'll get a pop-up and asks if I want to Force Close it, since its not responding
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
ok now it just looks like a permission thing. the update.zip must not have set the perms right.

[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:
same issue after applying permission to wlp2pservice
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
While this integration is definitely awesome, what other benefit is there to this over the "Wireless Tether" application from google code (formerly "wireless tether for root users") which is a free .apk, lets me use encryption, Bluetooth PAN for tethering, change LAN network settings, and control access by MAC Address?
[Vibrant Android Development] teronzhul:
It has been said multiple times in this thread. The Samsung version creates an infrastructure access point instead of adhoc.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
use it or don't use it. not every device can connect to an ad-hoc network.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
can you pull a logcat?
[Vibrant Android Development] djkdawg:
thanks, it works great, and im able to stream netflix
[Vibrant Android Development] pphi:
Looks like the AP works great, but when I disable it, I'm getting intermittent loss of my 3G connections with the vibrant and its apps. It still shows the 3G icon, but the up arrow keeps blinking and nothing gets pulled down. Calls still work fine though.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arr MiHardies:
For starters, this one actually works. I have yet to get the wifi tethering app to work. Though I haver had luck with barnacle.

Second, the other two only support wep encryption, this uses wpa.

The other two only work in ad hoc mode, this uses infrastructure.

[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
i was getting that when i didn't have the proper permissions set to wlp2pservice. ...
[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:
hmm

I went back into adb and executed wlp2pservice manually from shell:

# /system/bin/wlp2pservice
WLP2PService::instantiate
WLP2PService created

Then I went into the mobileAP settings and it launched, and I saw in shell:

setCallBack
***P2P : Set WPA key 1234567890

the access point works! I will have to test more to see if it stays or I have to execute it each time.

Edit: It looks like if I try to go into mobileAP with WIFI off, it causes the same loop as before and I have to manually close it with a task killer. When I ENABLE wifi, I see in terminal this (but it launches mobileAP just fine):
[Vibrant Android Development] Breach:
Installed. Works great!
[Vibrant Android Development] ranova:
It seems to me that it does not shut down the AP correctly after switching it off in the settings and turning back on Wifi forces the "Soft AP" to shut down.

Jr33, can you please post a thread in the Captivate forums with the zip file and my findings? I am not good with coding and development and someone knowledged in that area with a Captivate may find the root of this problem.

Rebooting the phone or closing/ending terminal (on the pc or phone) requires you to go back into terminal and execute wlp2pservice manually. Maybe wlp2pservice is not executing at all when it should when you go into mobileAP settings

Can someone with a Vibrant do a fresh reboot and go into an Android Terminal app and type the following:

su

and paste me the output. Force close Terminal afterwards.

Then can you go into Mobile AP settings, type the above in terminal and paste me the output again?

I am trying to figure out if wlp2pservice for mobile AP launches at boot or when you open up the Mobile AP settings.
