All you need to do is get a Cricket Authorized Dealer to switch your plan to the cricket android plan ($55) and you don't need proxy anymore. Also speed is much better I get about 900 Kbt, whereas through the Proxy I only saw about 350 on a good day.

It works fine using NC (with the patched WPA) through my droid/barnacle on cricket.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

On another note I too get the sleep/wake up issues with his patched file. I have looked at the TIWLAN.INI (/ system / etc / wifi /) file and played with some settings, but nothing seems to work. I think we just need a better patched version of the exact WPA_SUPPLICANT file from the NC stock build.... Or stick it out until we get a FROYO rom:cool:
[Nook Color Android Development] sangamc:
this friggin works great! sometimes i get the device busy command, but power cycle usually takes care of that. i wish there was a way to soft-reset the device witouth having to shut down completely!

Other than that i can switch back and forth using the console commands su \adhoc and su \ infrastructure

Never needed anything xtra to tether

I was able to wifi connect to my phone on day 1 by connecting to my phone's wifi tether. Is this unusual?

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] sangamc:
Not unusual if your phone supports infrastructure network based tethering
[Nook Color Android Development] romanmb:
This worked flawlessly. Thanks so much!

when will autonooter incorporate adhoc fix

after it becomes stable when will ad-hoc fix be added to autonooter?
[Nook Color Android Development] runhopskipjump:
Works well for me. I used root explorer to backup and replace the original file. Great work!

Sent using Rooted Nook Color
[Nook Color Android Development] ataib:
where do i get root explorer?

and what are steps to do what you said in root explorer?

I tried doing it through adb and no luck/
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Root Explorer is in the Market. It costs a couple of bucks, but it is well worth it. Root Explorer trivializes quite a few tasks that would otherwise be a lot more complicated.
[Nook Color Android Development] Will Pwr:
Thanks..this works great!

Allows me to toggle between the two as to which one better suits the given situation..the ease of auto connect coming out of sleep mode or the need for ad hoc tethering.. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] lngwstx:
I did everything, but it doesn't seem to have worked

I followed the instructions, and they seem to be successful according to Terminal (no failed/error messages), but it doesn't see my Droid Pro, either on Barnacle or on WifiTether. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong - or how to reset whatever I changed and do it again? Thanks.

Noob question

Does the phone used to tether, have to be a droid phone?

Just curious, would love to try this when @ work!
[Nook Color Android Development] Quilombo:
After trying this, I got connected to android tether but no internet. am I missing a step? My laptop is able to connect to android tether and get online. Any thoughts?

Phone is a Verizon Droid Inc 2.2. froyo, wireless tether
[Nook Color Android Development] Gabryael:
I used this to tether to my HTC Touch Pro2 running windows. I've also set up the commands to switch between the to supplicant files and just run them from a command prompt directly on the device.
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
So is the method safe to use if I want to be able to use Infrastructure as well? I see that the guide lists a terminal command to switch, which I'd be fine doing, but I also see lots of people saying they can only stay connected to inf connections for 30 seconds.

How stable is this fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] fprice02:
Used Barnacle (market app) on my Vibrant and this hack. Opened up the browser and was able to get to alot of sites, check the market. So yes this works well.
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Have you tried connecting back onto infra yet?

Also anyone tried this with a jailbroken iPhone 3GS yet? I cant think of any reason it wouldnt work, but it'd be nice to know someone has had some success before I bother to jailbreak my phone
[Nook Color Android Development] chhaggerty:
Worked great from my Samsung Epic using the Google wireless tether app. Much thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] droiddog:
It would be cool if someone could write a widget (or simple program) which switches to adhoc and back to infrastructure. I tried over the weekend, but I've never programmed anything and was in way over my head. I tried using the anroid inventor program, but you can run scripts or access superuser. If someone can give me general directions I'm happy to try again.
[Nook Color Android Development] tboothie:
working great

I don't know if I'm just fortunate or something is wonderfully wrong, but I applied the patch as described in the OP and both adhoc and infrastructure modes work well. The wonderful part is that I'm not seeing the wake-after-sleeping issue for infrastructure mode. When the NC goes to sleep and I turn it back on, my wifi reconnects automatically. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] droiddog:
This issue only occurs when in adhoc mode. It should work normally in infrastructure mode.
[Nook Color Android Development] madman390:
disregard...i found the answer
[Nook Color Android Development] midnightmaraude:
My nootered Nook connected to my EVO without running anything special. I don't get what's different about this
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
You probably bought a phone that supports infrastructure mode for it's wifi hotspot (HTC is pretty good about this) so you don't have to jump through hoops to muck around with ad-hoc networks.
[Nook Color Android Development] robwilcken:
I'm with tboothie on this one.
[Nook Color Android Development] jewnersey:
Thanks for this. Will keep checking back in hopes of a fix for the return from sleep issue
[Nook Color Android Development] Bemuse:
swapdotavi,

I can connect my Nook to my jailbroken iPhone 3gs using MyWi with no problems at all.
[Nook Color Android Development] silivrenion:
Soo.... what have we learned?

Reading the thread to completion, I'm seeing some people having problems with the fix, and others are just fine. I'm still left with questions:

- Does the fix work to allow the NC to connect to Ad-Hoc networks?

- Will the fix break Infrastructure networking

- Is there any needed maintenance of the script (switching, etc.) after applying the fix, or is this an 'apply and forget' kind of thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] emoney8421:
That's all there is to it, enjoy![/QUOTE]

where do i enter this code? thanks, eric
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
I have been using the fix for 24 hours. I tethered my phone for about an hour yesterday while traveling. Switched it to infrastructure when I got back home, used it quite a bit last night and for 3 to 4 hours today with no issues. This appears to be something that can be undone by someone by removing the scripts if they choose to. I would say, go for it.
[Nook Color Android Development] silivrenion:
Is there an easy way to switch between modes without having to launch a terminal?
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
No. I use terminal emulator from the market. It is very simple to use. The input screen comes up, type in su then hit return (bottom right button) type adhoc or infrastructure then hit return, then hit your home button to get out. I have also discovered with it in adhoc mode, I can connect to the device by infrastructure if I have my cell phone not sending a signal. This is something I just discovered. I will continue to watch it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Will Pwr:
I've been using this for almost a week now and it works good.

You can leave it in ad-hoc mode for both ad-hoc and infrastructure spots, but it will require you to turn off the wifi and back on after it goes to sleep.

I use connectbot from the market to switch between the both. I pretty much leave it on infrastructure and switch to ad hoc as needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] silivrenion:
Installed fix, and switched to the adhoc script. Could connect to both infrastructure and adhoc networks.

Turning the screen off and back on would prevent the device from reconnecting to the last used network. I fixed this by getting an app called "Setting Profiles" I created two profiles, one to turn WiFi on and one to turn WiFi off. I set the rules to force WiFi off when putting the device to sleep, and turn the WiFi back on when waking back up.

This reconnects to the latest network the device was connected to. It ALSO fixes the random reboot problem where sleep mode clashes with WiFi being on.

I see no major reason to switch back to the regular infrastructure configuration, since everything's working great now.
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Good work. "Settings Profiles" basically eliminates a need for a toggle switch of any kind.
[Nook Color Android Development] ScottMod:
Awesome! Thanks!

Pushed info to wiki at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_Adhoc_Networking

Glad it's working! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
If you are Lucky then I am lucky too... just copied the adhoc wpa_supplicant to /system/bin fixed ownership and privs and can switch adhoc-Infrastructure-adhoc-Infrastructure just fine as expected as I've used this same method on a few other devices with wpa_supplicant same patch... don't touch the config files... no need to copy or edit anything as just works same as on my 2 Viewsonic Gtabs...
[Nook Color Android Development] tcw28:
What work directory are you extracting the files to?
[Nook Color Android Development] silivrenion:
Whatever directory on your computer you'd like. I made a folder on my computer's desktop, for example.

Are you running the stock 1.0.0 build, or have you upgraded to 1.0.1? The results you get might be dependent on whether you upgraded or not...
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
Running 1.0.1 Autonooter'd with latest... used Root Explorer to copy file and set permissions, used Better Terminal to chown root.???? (same as original file)...
[Nook Color Android Development] silivrenion:
Huh... that's odd. I wonder what's going on then...
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Is this possible without USB ADB? I have ADB wireless right now as I had problems getting the USB connection working. I'm guessing this will not work?
[Nook Color Android Development] Baston8005:
Hey folks. Newby here and Ive rooted my nook color with no problems. I'm now trying to get adhoc working and I'm geting stuck on step #5. 1st question. Where do I exactly download the file to? I tried extracting to C:\android-sdk-windows and running the steps. Step 5 I get problems. I get "cannot stat ' wpa_supplicant.adhocfix': no such file or directory. So I tried extracting the file to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\system\bin I get a "failed to copy 'wpa-supplicant.adhocfix' to ' /system/bin/wpa_supplicant' :read only file system

Any ideas?

im going to ask my device isnt a nook color its a pandigital novel thats has eclair running i want to connect it to my touch pro 2 wife but it cant find the network. I saw this so am wondering is this fix specific to the nook color or is it a general fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] cweber01:
adhoc connects to B & N store

strangest thing

When I did the mod to enable adhoc tethering I don't see my wifi hot spot (wireless tether app on mytouch android phone).

Don't see any networks starting with *

However is shows B & N Store in range and connects to it.

The phone confirms the connection is being made from Nook to phone.

Not to complain as it is working but strange?
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Followed the steps on wiki and it seems to be working. I am currently in adhoc mode but i can still connect to infra networks. Is that normal?
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
It is what that code patch intended... so normal... :) I had the same result first off on all three devices I've used this patch on...
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
OK, awesome.

I've run into a bit of a problem however. I cant seem to see any wireless networks at all after I come back from sleep mode, despite having two profiles set up with on/off rules. Not only do I not resume the connection I had with the latest wifi network, but I cant see ANY until I toggle wifi off/on.

Also, it seems to randomly drop connection when in adhoc mode and connected to an infra network with under 20% battery. I'll test this further when I can.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrsims2007:
Has anyone been able to get their rooted Nook Color with this AdHoc fix applied to connect to a WiFi adapter in a computer in AdHoc? This might be helpful for transferring files from a computer to the Nook without the USB cable...

How Are You Setting Up Rules

How are you setting up the rules to turn Wifi off when screen is off, and then turn Wifi on when screen come back on? I have tried to do this in the Rules screen, but cannot find any option that talks about the screen being off or on. Help??
[Nook Color Android Development] GolfNM:
If you have a Droid X, the WIFI Tether app now suppots Infrastructure Mode
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Does anyone have a suggestion for an iOS app (for my 3G) that will let me host adhoc networks OTHER than MyWi? MyWi is effin' $20, which is insane to me. I'd consider it at $5 or $10, but $20 is nuts. Is there a cheaper alternative out there? I'm open to all suggestions.
[Nook Color Android Development] jalladi:
can anyone shed some light on this issue im having with step 2 of "patch the usb drivers files"... i have succeeded in installing everything up till that point, for some reason i cant get the conformation after inputing the cmd
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
Choose the rules tab and use the menu button, bottom of screen. You will have to navigate through rules options with the menu button.

[Nook Color Android Development] hairlista86:
I'm having the same issue, actually.
[Nook Color Android Development] droiddog:
I'm no expert, but...

You need to extract the file to the tools directory and run adb from there.

Secondly, it doesn't sound like you mounted your system read/write. Maybe it would work if you ran the commands from the tools folder.
[Nook Color Android Development] cubstuff:
I have tried this, and cannot figure it out. When I try to set a condition, conditions possible to choose from range from Time Period - Docking State. No where do I find one that states "Screen Off". Help
[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Not sure how to sync with my nook using this app, as it only lists Windows and Mac as the usable OS'. Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] bdcrim:
The condition that you are looking for is "screen status". The first thing you should have done was to create a profile. I did one at a time. I created a "Wifi ON" then set controls to turn wifi on. (Be sure to toggle Orientation on as well, everything else can be off). Go to rules tab and add new rule, then choose the "screen status" under conditions. OK "condition is true when the screen is turned on" (choose the inverse when setting up "Wifi Off"). Choose action, then activate, the profile should come up. Toggle the profile even though it is lit and then okay. Go back to profiles page and repeat for Wifi Off. Good luck
[Nook Color Android Development] cubstuff:
Thanks for the help. I have identified the source of my problem. I was using an outdated version of the Setting Profiles app, and no screen status option was included. Updated app version, and all is well. Thanks.

I installed the adhoc fix with no difficulties, but was not pleased with the service interruptions on the hack in wifi, so I attempted to reverse the process by re-installing the original wpa_supplicant file. Clearly I have made an error. can someone walk me though this fix, or do I need to factory restore and start over?

[Nook Color Android Development] beehiveblack:
Just an fyi...

This can all be handled on device with root explorer following the exact same directions... I jus changed my stock wpa_supplicant to a .bak extension and dropped the new one in the system/bin. Long press to change permissions REBOOTED DEVICE (wouldn't work otherwise) and Presto... tethered to my droid.
[Nook Color Android Development] andyadler:
Hello every one. I'm trying to finish this process on my NC, and need to get my device from OFFLINE to (I presume) online status so I can pull/push the supplicant files.

When I run the ADB DEVICES command I get my correct NC serial number, but then the OFFLINE status. Do I need to run ADB CONNECT, or what?

Many thanks in advance...AndyA.
[Nook Color Android Development] kplusalot:
Okay, I must be the only unlucky person in this thread. After I followed the original instructions, my WiFi would not even turn on. I had no problems beforehand, so I pushed the original back, and it would still not turn on. Any ideas? I'm really not in the mood to hard-reset my NC since it has some paid apps and paid books on it.

Running 1.0.1 with AutoNooter

Edit: I did try restarting after the new file failed, and I tried restarting after pushing the backup.
[Nook Color Android Development] kplusalot:
I guess the real question is this: if I do an "Erase and Unregister" without an internet connection, then do a hard reset, and re-run the AutoNooter, will I still be able to get to my purchased books and apps? If so, I have no problem testing this out to save the OP's some time.

Just for kicks, I started looking through some of my other settings. On the "About Your NOOKcolor" screen, it lists the "Wi-Fi MAC Address" as Unavailable. According to B&N tech support, it is a hardware failure. I can't imagine that this is just a coincidental timing though. I can't complain though, hardware is covered under the 1year warranty!
[Nook Color Android Development] chinot66:
I got the same luck with my Freshevo and Wireless Tether v2.0.6, but connection feel really slow even with full range 4G. Running web, weather bug maps and some interment base apps.

I had a Archos 70, which I returned for the NC and I had no luck tethering with the same setup. I know Archos didn't support Ad-hoc yet, but bluetooth tethering.
[Nook Color Android Development] up_roscommon:
Working.. except.

Ok, here is the issue. installed Setting Profile and ran all adb commands fine. Everything works except when coming back from sleep mode it connects to local infrastructure wifi not my adhoc wifi that it was on before it went to sleep. I thought it would connect to the "last connection"

thanks.

P.S local infrastructure is no good because it needs a proxy setting to access the Internet.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
Okay I guess I can't deal with the wifi failing after sleeping... HOWEVER

I remembered the ADHOC SSID "AndroidTether", reverted back to stock, and it seems that I can still connect. It will reconnect when coming out of sleep also so it was a great help. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] baldwyn:
I'd love to get this to work but whenever I go to my DOS prompt on my computer and try to enter any command it says "error: more than one device and emulator"

I'm assuming that this is because I have my Nook and my HTC Hero both installed on my computer. Even though I don't have my Hero plugged in to it. Any suggestions?

[Nook Color Android Development] sbddude:
PDANet is free, if you don't need to use HTTPS, otherwise it is $16 last time I checked.

The tethering feature in iOS 4.3 will require a $20/month add-on from AT&T. So I think the best deal is to pay $20 once to MyWi rather than $20 every month.
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
I have not been able to get this to work reliably on 1.1... Even using the settings profiles trick or switching wifi on and off manually, once the machine wakes, it can see infrastructure and adhoc networks, but cannot connect to them... any thoughts from smarter folks than me?
