Ad-Hoc Networking? - Vibrant General

I have an ubuntu box at home setup with 2 wifi cards, one is sharing the internet connection on an adhoc wep connection, what can I do so the vibrant detects the adhoc network? I was able to detect it with my G1 and connect.
Thanks in advance for the help

ad-hoc wireless networks
I am not the other of this info but it can help :
Samsung Galaxy S without doubt is a gem of a phone with all round capability be it for business or for gaming needs. The only problem I encountered with the phone was it lacked the feature to connect to ad-hoc wireless networks. The two scenario where I it baffled me was :
1. I was not able to share the laptop internet connection with my Samsung Galaxy S over the wifi ad-hoc network.
2. It also restrained me from playing multiplayer Gameloft games with my friend over wifi.
Now here is a fix to connect your Samsung to ad-hoc wifi network.
Note: You must root your phone before proceeding any further. If you have not yet rooted your phone here is a easiest one click rooting method.
Create an ad-hoc wifi network on your laptop (WEP).
Download a small file wpa_supplicant for your Samsung Galaxy s and remove the .txt extension such that the file will have a blank extension.
Download and install Root Explorer on your phone and grant it root super user privileges.
Transfer the wpa_supplicant file to your phone SD card.
Now copy wpa_supplicant file to /system/bin folder using Root Explorer installed earlier (don’t forgot to backup your original wpa_supplicant file).
That’s all, now you can connect your Samsung Galaxy S to ad-hoc network and share your laptop’s internet connection or play multiplayer game over wifi.

100% working wpa_supplicant for galaxy s2 ad hoc mod for gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4

hello friends
today i m showing you a 100 percent working wpa_supplicant for galaxy s2 gingerbread rom for ad hoc network. yes it is test by me and also this is modified by me too. no one is responcible and cant take credit for developing it. currently i m using and testing on litening rom 6.1 and it works flawlessly. so no more wait for new wpa supplicant. becoz wait is over now. use it and reply me about ny bugs. i will try to revamp it. bye
download attachment and use it
if u like my work then plz donate me on my paypal account
[email protected]
and plz reply thanks
This is great!!! Tested on my galaxy SGS1 and works perfectly!
Thanks!!!
Edit: i can connect only if i set my ad-hoc network unproteced. If i add wpa2 or even wep security the phone gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address...", but it could be my ubuntu notebook.
Awsome sauce!!! Been waiting for this. Downloading and testing it now on my SG1.
Thanks
edit: just realised it is not a CWM flashable zip. Where do I put this?
edit2: figured out where to put it so dont worry. Cannot obtain IP address though on an unsecured ADHOC network.
what is this ?
It alows your phone to use your laptop/desktops internet connection. Create an ad-hoc wireless network on your laptop/desktop and then search for that network on your phone connect and voila your phone should now use the interent through your laptop/desktop.
I like it cos it means I can use my internet connection at work instead of 3g.
SGS2 on lite'ning v4.2 (2.3.4)
Open: 'obtaining IP' loop
WEP: 'obtaining IP' loop
WPA: [no connection]
it is not cwm file. first u have to unzip it then copy and paste this on system/bin folder on ur rooted gs1 and gs2.but this will work perfectly on gingerbread 2.3.4
hi haymzee
you should use litening rom ver 6.1 not 4.2 otherwise it will not work correctly.so first update ur rom in 6.1 and then use this wpa file ok
OH YES! will test and report; long awaited!
I can connect in the morning but after turn airplane mode on-off, then I can't connect till now.
It shows obtaining IP address, even I try to re-boot both phone. T_T
Hello everyone,
I finally managed to solve the problem of connections

Hello, how did you manage to solve the looping 'Obtaining IP address.." problem ?
Also got the same problem of Obtaining IP address. I tried many configurations of changing the ip address manually with static ip address settings
Its working perfectly on our rom.
10 char will b built in in the next release
For all noobs:
Use root explorer
Unzip and put the file in system/bin
Reboot
Done.
Now test
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I use LogMeIn.apk
any solution for GB 2.3.5 ???
I've tried ad hoc on 4 different laptops and it only worked on the newer ones
I can confirm this works 100%. I tethered the internet connection on my Macbook Air with the phone using AdHoc Wifi successfully.

[SOLVED] Share AD-HOC notebook (or netbook) with Xperia X10

I'll post the setting that should be done in the Xperia X10, so that it Internet share of the notebook (or netbook) through an AD-HOC network. I spent several hours trying, but I did what many say is impossible!
1. The android X10 must be root;
2. Have installed a program that allows editing of files (here I am using the Root Explorer);
3. Create an AD-HOC network in notebok and allow sharing the internet with other devices;
4. Enable Wi-Fi X10;
5. Add Wi-Fi network, the SSID setting the exact name of the AD-HOC network notebook and also the type of security (Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, EAP or 802.1x);
6. Disable Wi-Fi X10;
7. Go to the folder "data / misc / wifi", it contains the wpa_supplicant.conf file that should open with text editor (click it and hold, then open up a menu where you have the option to open the file with text editor);
8. Edit and save the file so that it is as follows:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="put the name of your AD-HOC network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=PUT YOUR KEY TO SAFETY
frequency=2412
}
9. Go to the folder "system / etc / wifi" (click on "Mount R/W," is at the top right of screen). This folder contains the wpa_supplicant.conf file that should open with text editor (click it and hold, then open up a menu where you have the option to open the file with text editor);
10. Edit and save the file so that it is as follows:
ctrl_interface=wlan0/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="put the name of your AD-HOC network"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=PUT YOUR KEY TO SAFETY
frequency=2412
}
11.After saving changes, click the file "wpa_supplicant.conf" and hold until the menu of options. Click "Permissions" and leave only the option marked "READ" in Owner, Group and Others, then click OK.
This last step is not executed lose all changes made since the system returns the initial values.
Note: When editing the files "NOT" leave spaces between the function and value. EX: mode=1 (correct), mode = 1 (wrong).
In step 10 in "ctrl_interface=wlan0/" DO NOT confuse "ZERO" with the letter "o". Read "wlan(ZERO)/"
12. Restart X10.
Once restarted just turn on AD-HOC network and turn on the notebook's Wi-Fi X10 that it undertakes to find the ip to connect.
Im gonna test tomorrow, thanks
For those who can't edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file like me, simply copy it to the sdcard and edit it there. then simply copy to the desire locations and then set permissons there.
OBS: don't forget to set root explorer to Remount as R/W!!!
Working 100% for me now. Thanks

it doesnt work for me, when wifi is activating, it doesnt see my network...I will buy a cheap wifi router.
Hello "chriscx", you set up your ad hoc network to share the signal with other devices?
Which version of its Windows Vista?

It's Vista home premium. Wifi Analyzer app sees the network as ad-hoc (for that it's better than gingerbread wifi scanner) but it cannot connect because of android.
I dont know which permissions on data/misc/wifi ?
And also when I edit, it says OPEN SHARED, I deleted OPEN to keep SHARED
Today I tried again, but I overwrite on files, I renamed bak to conf but it didn't work, so I had to restore my system on x10, then I restored my data apps and I've lost superuser rights, it was the mess, man. now my phone is ok.

For me it's working fine... Just sometimes it show as it can't find the network, but i just have to disable wifi on my xperia x10 and turn it on again, and if i don't have the ad-hoc network created, it tries to connect to it anyway and says "obtaining IP adress from "asdasd"... I use stock android 2.3.3 with Win7 and the android stock wifi software...
I created a ad-hoc network on my notebook with the name "asdasd" and password with WEP security as "1234567890". That's how i have my both files equal. I only see now that they shouldn't be exactly the same as Cristiano123 show in his post. I have both files in system and data like this, try it so maybe it should work. For me it works fine Don't forget to save the stock files!!! Try this for both files:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/
wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi
update_config=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="asdasd"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=1234567890
frequency=2412
}
with win 7, you can use connectify or virtual router, some people said it works.
for Vista: I read this:
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = MonSSID
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

It is not necessary to use any third party program to connect to the AD-HOC network, use only the settings of the post.
Are you following the steps correctly?

yes I did, but I give up
I thought of something:
on GB 2.3.4 ad-hoc connection is included, and we have a dump system for x10, it should be possible to port it.

[Q] Ad-Hoc WLAN Networks (JoikuSpot)

Hi everyone!
Yes, I am a noob...
Infos:
I already know that every Android device needs a new "wpa_supplicant" file for connecting to Ad-Hoc Networks e.g. created by my Nokia's JoikuSpot or sth. else...
If there's another option, tell me
Also I've heard about this application:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
that supposedly can be installed on an unrooted device!
The question:
For me it doesn't make sense, that you can install an app which has access to all files without rooting the tablet at first.
Can I replace the wpa_supplicant without rooting and be happy with tethering 3G from my phone to the tablet?
AdHoc Networks are my only cause for rooting but it seems to be quite difficult, maybe no one did it already with the slate ... I can't find instructions to do it anyway...
Please HELP

[Guide] Reverse Tether (wifi method)(download anything) (Windows and Ubuntu users)

This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works

This is not a free solution , you need a wifi Pc (90 % of computers at work don't have wifi) and is too complicate for users.
Use my method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
It's a "One click free solution using USB cable" (no need to install other paids tools)
Not yet perfect, but still under development (I am the developper)
"This is a crap , as u cannot do much !"
Please stay on your thread next time before posting such kind of message on my thread.
No need to press "Thanks".
Ha ha lol !
Ur method has certain limitations :banghead:
Now adays every laptop and PC are wifi enabled !
I heard that connectify doesn't require root phone and we don't need that wpa_suplicant.

You heard correct (in most cases). If your device already supports ad-hoc network connections, then all you'd need to do is set up the hotspot with Connectify (or Virtual Router) and connect to it. Otherwise, this method's for you.

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong. You're whole post sounds like it comes from a jealous, whiny little girl. And until you can back up this statement, I'm going to assume you are either a liar or an idiot.
Useful app especially for area with bad reception and no wifi.

I think my wifi router had broken a couple of hours ago. But now I can use ad-hoc connection from my PC.
I use Huawei Ideos S7 to connect to my windows XP sp3 wifi.
