I want to remove the Sprint Hotspot from a Epic 4G running 2.2/Froyo, on 2.1/Eclair it was called MobileAP, I looked throughout System/Apps with root explorer with no success.
Thanks in Advance

In 2.2, Hotspot is baked into Settings.apk. Currently there is no way to remove it without messing up the settings. I've been working on this since froyo was leaked to our phones, but to no avail.

MobileAP is different, it is an addon not provided by Sprint.

Point us to an APK that does it...?
Exectly, it doesn't exist for the Vibrant yet.
Though, the OP could've searched and found that there is work going on, but it doesn't work 100% yet.

Works perfectly fine for some. I've had no luck with that. However, I have had some luck with barnacle.

Barnacle was working for me, but didn't like how I had to adjust the mtu on the pc I was using, like to just use it on anyone's stock mtu settings in windows. I'm using Wireless Tether for root users v2.0.5 pre7 now and it's working great. Much faster at accepting my connection and doesn't seem to stall out on big file transfers either.

I am looking for a way to use the sprint hot spot on the leaked froyo build but it does not seem to be out yet.
Is there an app that works the same way as sprint hot spot. I don't want ad hoc because it does not support some devices. If anyone has anything that does not require "flashing" a custom rom to get this I need to know.
I found Moble AP but you need to flash it with clock work recovery and I would lose the froyo build.
Thanks in advance
No dice on AP and 2.2 on Epic. If AP is that important to you, go back to 2.1, else live with wireless tether and Ad-hoc.
If you search you will find what your looking for.
We have nothing got froyo yet but people are working on mobileap. We are still on a froyo leak so stuff like this is delayed cause official froyo may be different then are leaks
Sent From Da Hood.
I am guessing that means we have nothing for foryo yet and mobile ap is in the works but won't be out untill the offical release. I just hope I ca get it on the stock rom and I won't need to flash a custom rom to get it to work.

Anyway we r getting of the main topic now. I am just going to flash back and get a custom rom that has it built in. Anyone have any recomendations on one?

You don't need a custom rom to use Wireless Tether. You just need to root your phone. Takes about 5 minutes or less. Why would you want to use the sprint app? The WT app has much more capability.

...Not if your device does not support adhoc wifi networks. A lot of gadgets it seems don't like adhoc wifi, so Mobile AP would be an alternative.

Nope, nobody has found the exploit in it yet. if you do the update, you are stuck without root for now...neither perm nor temp work. I totally screwed myself.

The only thing I really NEEDED to be rooted for was tethering. So, for now I'm using PDAnet. It's only USB and Bluetooth, but good enough until somebody fixes the rooting problem. Otherwise i actually LIKE Gingerbread.
I just got a new shift from Asurion this past Friday and it did not have the update pre-installed, had Froyo

won't you end up with a refurb? Or is that just for warranty returns?
I just got a new one due to a bad speaker, and it's a refurb. Doesn't have the update installed, so if I get the ambition I'm going to have to root the new one today, and run the RUU on the old one later tonight lol.

Pay for the wifi hotspot?
i already pay 90 a month.. sprint gets enough. i tried tethering with usb using pdanet and then once it was connected i set up my computer as a router.. unfortunately pdanet's mtu setting is inadequate. wish i could revert to 2.2. but don't know how. just hope someone can break 2.3.3. i can still access bootloader. just remove the battery and volume down and power and that loads it but i can revert.and suggestions?
i did. im friends with the tech at mine and he said it wasnt a good idea.
You are going to have to be patient and wait for an exploit to be found like the rest of us. I'm about ready to re-activate my old Palm Pre and use it until this gets figured out...the wifi tethering works GREAT on it and it was EASY to hack/install and OTA updates don't kill it.

Astro app back up will put the program apk's on the sd card so you can reinstall them. (if you are using the same sd card) Amazon app store keeps your Apps in the "my apps" section when you sign in with the new phone.
This is a no root tip.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
