What about AdHoc wifi support in MDJ Android builds (or others)? I am using 'MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.3 [kernel: mdeejay #15]' and in no way i can enable adhox wifi...
I looked around a lot, and i found nothing that works:
*) There is this thread that fixes the problem by patching the wpa_supplicant binary, and provides a compiled one to put on your android, but the mentioned file doesn't even exist on Sense Clean, can this be integrated? or how does it work?
*) This blog entry explains how to enable ad hoc on Samsung Galaxy, but it uses wpa_cli, which is also not present on this android build
*) few threads and blogs explain about how to enable this by directly modifying the wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) and tiwlan0.conf (/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini) files, but seems that in latest builds this doesn't even work, and anyway, the tiwlan is not found in the mentioned location.
update to point 3:
as expected, ap_scan is removed from the conf file, and what i get is only that android tried to connect (Connecting to ssid, Authenticating to ssid) but then disconnects.
does anybody have a working solution?
If I am understanding your post rightly, you are looking for connecting your HD2 with the Internet connection of your computer, either WLAN or LAN fixed.
I have been looking around as well, as I am travelling a lot and in some parts of the world there is only plugged LAN connection available in hotels, so one cannot use an Android fone unless you want to push your roaming costs skywards!
However, I managed to connect the HD2 to the internet via my laptop with a free little program called Connectify and it is working flawlessly.
Works only under Windows 7 though.
Maybe this helps.
WinMo Goatrip 6.0
Android MDJ 1.3 Matted
MDJ S3 Kernel and very happy with it
SO, this Connectify will make you laptop wifi appear as if it is an Access Point and not AdHoc network, making any device connect to it?
Ok, but unfortunately it doesn't support my laptops intel wifi module (3945), that's the reason i've never checked what connectify really do. But i'll try with a usb wifi that i have.
Thanks for the tip...
Update:
Thanks !!! it worked !!!!!!
With an external usb wifi adapter that is supported by Connectify i was able to connect Android to the computers Wifi network, more than enough.
NO ROOT required!! - I am using MyTouch 4g with android 2.2.1
This is for anyone using Android who wanted to use Ad Hoc network to connect to internet (Android device connects to PC/laptop which is connected to internet) and couldn't because android doesn't support it ( Not rooted ). Here is a solution that DOESN'T require rooting the phone. I am running Android 2.2.1 and have no knowledge on compatibility despite my 2 days of research and eventual success.
Things you need: Windows 7, Android device and Connecitfy software ( link below... free version works just fine )
1. Update drivers for Ethernet and WiFi adapters in device settings... windows virtual WiFi miniport adapter should show up in the device list
2. Now startup Connectify: Create hotspot and choose password (uses WPA) and then start hotspot.
3. Now on your android device this network name should show up because its not Ad Hoc anymore. Its like a virtual router or hotspot.
4. NOTE: If google services fail on the android device. Go to account and settings and then sync now for your google login. Once synced, try opening android market and if it says authentication failed, try opening market two or three times more and it should eventually accept. If it doesn't... go find a solution and add to this post or create a blog.
5. Enjoy...hey hey wheres my treat!!

Hi, im in need of some assistance. I have a new android device, the Archos 5IT. my phone is the Tilt 2. i have been unable to get my tilt 2 tethered to it thru wifi. reason being that the xda wifi router app uses adhoc mode. the archos will only see Infrastructure connections. Someone on the archos forum said the HD2 has built in a wifi tethering app that is infrastructure mode. Can someone plz direct me to that app or another wifi tethering app that uses Infrastructure mode only? also, free apps...lol thnkx in advance i figure if i download that app, ill be good, and wont have to take this device back. plus its giving me probs trying to connect thru bt also. lol FIGURES
If you can't find a free one, I recommend WMWifiRouter (v2 and above). It lets you connect multiple devices via Wifi (infrastructure style) and Bluetooth, as well as work as a USB modem and a USB Wifi dongle.
If you have Omarket installed, just download "Mobile Wi-Fi Router." It works GREAT!
Sorry about reviving an old thread. I've been searching and trying to find this exact solution, but neither of the ones listed here are doing "Infrastructure" mode. I'm currently testing WMWifiRouter (v2.0 - build 1502, downloaded directly from their site today) and when I set up the wifi connection, it only gives an option for Ad-Hoc (or none - which is for connecting to another access-point).
Am I missing something with WMWifiRouter, or is there any other app at all that will do Infrastructure mode? I don't mind having to buy something, I just need it working.
Thanks!

Sorry if I am not clear with your issues above.
But, Winmo 6.5 in HD2, has a native wifi tethering application.
There is an option menu (in Comm Manager) to turn on the Wifi Router.
This will make your HD2 as an Access Point. It can accept 5 devices.
Cheers..
Yes but only in adhoc mode, not in infrastructure mode, which appears to be needed for connecting some devices like psp and my new HTC flyer!
Same problem with GT 10.1 and HTC HD2
I have the wifi router program but it's not working with my galaxy tab 10.1, how can i tell if its adhoc or infrastructure signal?

Hi, I am researching this as well, and here is what I have found so far.
1. Android does not currently support/connect to ad-hoc WiFi, only Infrastructure mode.
2. If your Android tablet device can not see the WiFi from your phone hotspot but a PC Can, then it is probably ad-hoc, as my WinMo HTC HD2 is.
3. I have an Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.1 and this can not see my WiFi from the WiFi hotspot settings, but my PC can see it and connect to the HD2.
4. If there is an Android ROM for your phone, (XDA Forums) that will run from the SD card, you can boot into that and use the WiFi hotspot (Tethering) from the Android ROM. This seems to work fine on my setup.
Hope this helps
really would rather not root if at all possible
since i live in fear of ending up with a very expensive brick (by messing up rooting my xoom) - has anyone come up with a way to make the winmo htc hd2 send out an infrastructure wifi signal?

Simple answer is no. Winmo 6.5 will not do infrastructure wifi hotspot, no matter whether native Winmo app or a 3rd party app (i.e., WMWifirouter). You're going to have to do what I'm doing with my HD2. Go thru the learning process of installing an Android build on your SD card, and then boot into Android. You've very little risk of bricking the HD2 if you read carefully and follow the guides. [However, these guides are definitely written by geeks, not editors who write and re-write to be explicitly clear.] Supposedly, the Android Wifi router is infrastructure, but I've not yet gotten to that point in my own process. The first one I tried to install (AmeriCanAndroid) didn't complete booting up successfully, so I tried another Android build (MIUI), but in it I'm not finding a wifi tethering app. And, in it, the Market app is crashing. So, I'm now on the search for a 3rd Android build. The payoff is big (wifi tethering to my Viewpad 7 tablet), so I persevere. Good luck to you on your journey.
Hi,
I know the phone is capable of doing both, and there are software/apps to do each function seperatly. But is there an app that does both for android phones?
I know Froyo has this capability built in... and will mostly likely be removed by samsung/tmobile. But here's hoping!
Thanks.

well you can do WiFi using either Wireless Tether or Barnacal. You can get Barnacal on the market. As for USB, thats prob not going to happen till we get some custom roms. For that you would need to alter the Kernal and firmware to acheive this.

I can't get barnicle or android wifi tether to work for more than a few minutes on my vibrant... Anyone else with more success?
You can USB tether your SGS to your computer out of the box. No rooting, no nothing.

Ugh. Barnacle Legacy works perfectly as does the newest version of Wifi tether.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes but there aren't any apps that do both?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
Dang, both Barnacle and Wifi tether are giving me fits today. I know both of these are in active development, with new releases every other day it seems.
I am using the latest Barnacle available in the market, Version 24 as reported by the "Manage Applications" under settings. I don't see an "About" screen in the application, so I don't know what the *real* version is.
As for Wireless Tether, I am using version 23 as reported my the "manage applications" under settings, or 2.0.5-pre6 as reported by the About screen.

This method of tethering on Windows 7 works flawlessly. I've had issues using the Kies method and this fires up right away. It seems to be a little slower than the old wired tether app for my G1, but that could also be because I was tethering on the train in crappy weather. Barnacle works awesome on Windows if you follow these directions:
Baranacle Wifi Settings:
1. Change SSID - [User Preference]
2. Change Channel - 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE
4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK
5. Restart Phone As Desired
Settings For Windows:
Open cmd.exe as administrator
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1250 store=persistent
This is assuming your wireless network adapter is called "Wireless Network Connection"
Yeah, I have done all that and I am getting lots of errors:
NAT Restart: Network is down
And then a bunch of these:
Getting netmask of eth0 failed: cannot assign requested address
Followed by a couple instances of
NAT Restarting Now
NAT waiting for local interface
And yes, I have positively confirmed that I set the MTU on my computer.
And the Wireless Tether program now just run and then hangs. No FC, no nothing. When you press the big green icon to start the tether, you get the little animated spinner which freezes after a couple of seconds.
I'm trying to install Kies now.
I don't recommend installing Kies if you just want to USB tether. It's over 280 mb and the program itself kept crashing on me.
Just install the official drivers from Samsung's website then create a DUN connection based on the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737744.
Also, the official drivers on Samsung's download section are not up to date. The latest drivers are in the Kies install. I've zipped them up for x86 Windows users and put them online. You can download the zip and extract the files to your \Windows\System32\Drivers folder.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9387307/x86 Vibrant drivers from Kies.zip
for USB tether, I use PdaNet, it is super simple, no configuration needed on the phone or the computer... it works super fast and I've had no issues, just download the PdsNet desktop client and install on your PC and the PdaNet from the android market and done... you will be up and running in 5 minutes or less
That was perfect.
Posting over the DUN connection now. Thanks!
I currently running darkstone HD2Froyo v2.1 kernel 2.6.32.9 on my HTC HD2. I have tried activating the portable wi-fi hotspot on my phone but I get an error message. However, I have been able to enable the USB tethering on my Windows 7 64bit system, but its requesting a network password to enable internet access.
Does anyone know if portable wi-fi hotspot can be enabled with this android build and what password to use to enable the USB tethering?
Thanks in advance.
Similar problem
I am not sure what build I have on, been running it for a week. But I experienced a similar problem when i tried setting up a mobile hotspot this morning.
If you go into portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings > Advanced you can change the channel. Mine doesn't work at all when it is set to Auto. If I change the channel then the hotspot begins and i can detect it using my iPad. But then my phone restarts.
I haven't had much time to play with it as I am at work. But I will play around some more tonight. Still it might be worth changing the channel and seeing if it works or does the same thing as me
Good luck
Hi on the darkstone website it says:
Whats not working:
- Wifi Tethering
But also says:
Whats working:
........(amongst other things ) ......
- USB Tethering
Sure enough if I try wifi tethering it just reboots the phone, however like you I am having no luck with USB tethering it simply just dosen't connect , I am having to tether via WINMO as I write this , I did try some software off the market , but it requires a 'rooted' android phone and I am not sure wether android on an HD2 is or can be made to be rooted , anyway , anyone successfully got usb tethering working its a pain to reboot phone when I need the internet
I just got my A7 a few days ago. I did the elocity firmware, the latest dexter mod and the adhoc fix.
1. I cannot get the vpn to work. I am trying to get it to connect to my Cisco ASA at work and no matter if I try ip or dns name, it fails immediately. The connection never leaves the A7.
2. I rooted my Motorola Droid and put Barnacle on it. My laptop can wifi tether to the adhoc network off the phone with no problems. My A7 can see the adhoc, tries to obtain ip address over and over and just doesn't connect. It doesn't matter if I use proper wep or non matching wep key, same results. This is frustrating.
I have re wiped, re firmwared, re dextered several times. Out of ideas. Going on vacation i a few weeks and need to be able to tether.
Help!!!!
hi I had to do this to my samsung intercept running barnacle to make it connect. mabey it will help you.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-intercept-sprint/194068-barnacle-wont-run.html
I use the legacy version of barnacle. I think its available on authors site if not on market
scroll down page a little to see instructions for the fix in the link
Try installing googles wifi tether and run it without wep or wpa and see if you can connect that way.If you can connect then enable the Access control and set a ringtone to let you know when there is a connection,that way you can set it up to where you are the only one that can use it and know if there are any other connections besides you. Go to the link below to get the latest download and be sure to read up on it.This is what I use all the time with 0 problems.If you have any problems with it pm me and I will try to help you with it as much as I can.

Update
I did as suggested with both Barnacle and Google Wifi Tethering with wep turned off. And it works. Why is that? If I create a wep key in either Barnacle as ascii or hex, it doesn't work whether I use ascii or hex equivalent on the eLocity. With the Wifi Tethering app, it only has ascii option and still no luck. Until a new Dexter comes out that may fix this problem (at least for me), I will probably just use Barnacle with max 3 connections and by default new clients gets no nat. I will manually allow nat from the phone to control access.
What sucks is I cannot use my buddy's jail broken iphone for wifi tethering either. My velocity has the same problem passing passwords to ad-hoc networks.
As far as Ive read and been told Android will not connect with wep but what you said you were going to do will work just fine,that's basically what I do,but when Im going to be in one place for a while I will use Google's wired usb connection (link below) to connect to my laptop and then just share its internet connection with other laptops,phones, game systems etc.Either way I think its a good idea to have both the wireless and wired installed just in case and there free so what the hell.
I hope some of this will help you out. Good luck and have a good vacation.

Hi,
I Shared this software was i found because I think it is very useful if you dont have a Wifi USB card.
PdaNet+ is one of the top Android applications of all time. PdaNet+ shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer or tablet. PdaNet+ works on all Android phones without rooting. It also does not require a tether plan, that will save you $20/month from most carriers.
PdaNet+ now bundles both PdaNet and FoxFi to give you supports of WiFi hotspot in addition to USB Tether and Bluetooth DUN. In USB mode it is capable of handling download speed of well above 35Mbps (35000kbps) and is the fastest tethering software available for Android.
Website :ht tp :/ / junefabrics. com /android/ delete spaces... my first post sry.
How to?
1 Install Program and follow setup steps.
2 When installation finished automatically the setup install the PDAnet app in your phone.
3 Now open PDAnet app and check Activate USB Tethe is marked.
4 Go to wifi settings in your device and enable wifi, now(in your device) search the wifi acces point what you want to connect.
You can see a new running network in your network connections center.
Compatibility
Android, Iphone, Windows Mobile,BlackBerry, PalmOS
Seeyou ^^
PD: You can download the full version program for example in: piratebay.se, simply search "pdanet" in browser
Good one
its a good one...will be useful for some one...........but i think no one have visited this post
