it looks nexus one can not find ad hoc. my computer shows it is there, but nothing appears on the nexus one.
some people said
There is a file in /system/etc/wifi called "tiwlan" - maybe we can edit it?
There is a line saying "ADHOC=0"
we can change it to ADHOC=1
Does anyone know how to edit it? I mean which software we should use to edit it?
thanks
I don't even find tiwlan.ini file on my Nexus One. Any help please?
you can use vi (a text editor for linux) to edit tiwlan.ini. but u need to mount system r/w first.
for nexus one, this is the way:

hi!
in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).
so my question is: how do you replace such a file?
thanks in advance for your help
are you serious!?!?!?
If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!
if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.
edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.
use some common scene next time.
hope it helps!

Do you use a cyanogen build?
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.

mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.
yes, i am serious! and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.
there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.
so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?
thanks for any tips / hints on this.
use root explorer

Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well ...

Hi!
I've been trying to upload an .apk to my webhost (through ftp) and when I try to download it through the given url, the file doesn't download. Instead I only get text, just as if my host don't understand the file.
Any idea how I can fix this? Is it though .htaccess or what? /:
(I've tried to search this but with no luck)
First off I don't know too much about ftp but from what I do know I would imagine what you want to do would involve the .htaccess file in the apk's directory
My guess would be in the .htaccess file you'd have to edit/add the FilesMatch line
(if that doesn't work it may me just "Files" instead of "FilesMatch" - not sure)
Code:
<FilesMatch "\.(apk)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
Other alternatives I can think of are either:
Change the link from [B]ftp[/B]://your.ftp.org/blah/android.apk to [B]http[/B]://your.ftp.org/blah/android.apk when you give it out - but I realize this kinda defeats the purpose of using a FTP in the first place
Upload the .apk into a zip. That should force the 'save as' dialog
Hopefully this does the trick for you
**I hope this post looks correct - adding the html myself I may have messed up somewhere along the line, if it you see /LIST] or anything like that I'll fix it when I have access to a computer **

Geniuous! Worked like clockwork!
(I used the http://-link from the start, that's where it failed.. but the .htaccess content did it's job!)

Hi,
I am going to great lengths to try to get the Nexus 7 WiFi working with ad-hoc (IBSS) internet connections and have posted some details here on my research:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787680
However, it seems one of the solutions for the Nexus 7 does not have a required file to fix it manually. It is the "wpa_cli" file. I want to copy it to the system/bin folder so I can test out one of the solutions...
Could someone please post the binary for the "wpa_cli" file?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all:
I was reading the response of skeevy420 in order to fix the PAPREFERENCES problem when you try to select TABLET UI workspace in Paranoid 2.14 for my Defy, but when i was trying this fix, i find another little problem, my properties.conf file is readable only and y can't change the owner by the chown command, so i can't change the permissions. I try this through Terminal Emulator following the intructions but doesn't work. Anybody can tell me how to change the owner & permissions of this file otherwise?
I appreciate a response, sorry for my bad english.
Regards.-
I found a solution for this. ES File Explorer in order to change the permissions of the file, after this, through sshdroid change the owner, select TABLET UI and restart phone. Done.
If anyone have a question, please feel free to ask.
Regards!

Can anyone help me?
I don't know for sure, but I think it will be difficult (or let's say not worth it). You will need to find that apk (provided it is actually an apk), decompile it, find the text you want to edit inside the strings.xml (if it actually has one) and edit it, recompile it, (maybe you'll need to sign it, too) and then hope that it works (at least that's me when I try to edit apks).
I don't think it's just a text file that you edit, but I could be wrong. You can wait for more experienced users. For that, I suggest posting this in the general android forum's appropriate sub-forum. (not here in the HD2 section). You will get more responses there.
EDIT:
Done a little search and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344399
Not sure if it's applicable to the version of android you're running, but it's worth a shot. It also tells you where the text is.
