Hi,
I was posting this on android forums so i thought that I should post here also for those who does not check all forums
This is for accessing any kind of file over local network
This is what I am doing on Samsung Galaxy
1) I installed cifs manager ( you have to download cifs kernel module along with that which I attached).
2) Then I shared my drive on my computer
3) Mount the directory on phone using cifs manager
4) Now you can use any application on phone to access the mounted files. Video files will run like you are running from phone
I tried allshare but that was tooo slow and does not run all formats. This method can be even used with rockplayer which plays everything
Any question let me know as this is working great on stock rom.
I've searched this forum for answers, but I wasn't able to find one for my particular situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab that I would like to use as a wifi hotspot (wifi tethering, or whatever you want to call it). I do not want to tether this to another device that is running as a hotspot; I want the Tab to be the hotspot as this is the only device I own that can do this. I believe (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that I need to root it and install a different wpa_supplicant module to be able to set up the hotspot mode. I looked at installing z4root, but AT&T has disabled downloading that via the Market and also from running non-Market apps from the device (I tried putting z4root on the device via USB mass storage mode and running it with Astro file manager). Next, I tried using SuperOneClick by installing Mono for OSX (yes, I use a Mac) and running SOC from the command line using sudo, however "rageagainstthecage" failed to run and the process failed. I've searched for more information on the forums and I can't find anything so I'm asking for help getting the tab working as a hotspot. If I've made a mistake in my understanding, feel free to correct me. I don't own a Windows machine, so that's not an option for me. I have a Linux machine, however I'd really like to get this working on OSX as several of my friends and colleagues are in the same situation as me and only have OSX. Thanks in advance!

How? It seems that they don't make Kies for OS X (or not that I can find), and as I said before I'm not able to root it via z4root or SuperOneClick.
Anyone used the above app and has no problem with kindle?

zt-180 adhoc switcher works on the kf
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=zt-180+adhoc&c=apps
By using this apk, it allows kindle to connect to an ad hoc network? Sorry for asking noob question, cause I am trying to connect my phone that only support ad hoc mode.

All of the cm7 ROMs and most of the cm9 ROMs(Jackpot/hashcode's ROM and also NRG's ROM) have ad hoc wifi enabled. C'mon...What are you guys scared of? Rooting is waaaay harder than flashing and that's not saying much. I promise the devs on here make good sh*t. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks although I've got it already. Don't blame me because I've googled it by an hour with no result before asked here.
Now I've problem with launching both ZT 180 and Adhoc enabler.
ZT 180 report "the file which should be modified by the app are not presented at its expected location"..
Ad hoc enabler report "unable to write file system under read/write mode"
I'm using Kindle Fire stock rom 6.2.1, rooted, Busy Box installed.
Any idea for my problem.
allthrough i used it with 6.2.1 i don't know why you don't update to 6.2.2
this should correct any misssing files also
would recommend to use the nfx update for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452082
btw. what do you mean with "zt180 and adhoc enabler" ? - you only need zt180 on the kf - it enables adhoc mode

Hey,
I've been trying to get the wifi to work with my ad hoc network after installing the Energy CM9 rom
It's said in the thread that adhoc wifi is supported, but I can't see nor connect to my adhoc network.
I'll try a CM7 rom to test. Meanwhile, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thx
Sorry for the stupid question, but what is the practical use for Kindle with adhoc wi-fi enabled. Internet connection tethering to the other device that has problems connecting directly? I am new in all this and now I have Kindle with ICS CM9 flashed - rom that supports adhoc wi-fi. So now I am just curious, does it do any good and how can I use it.
Hey!

It's not a question of better or worse network. Wifi networks can typically be configured in either Infrastructure or Adhoc mode.
In infrastructure, the network is centralized around an access point, which is in most cases a router. All the devices connect to this particular access point and all the data exchanged between the devices on this network will go through the access point. For example, if pc A wants to send data to pc B, it's going to be:
pc A ----> Access Point ----> pc B.
In adhoc, there is no central point for the network. The devices communicate directly with each other. For the same example as before, it would be:
pc A ----> pc B
The thing is, I receive internet through a 4G usb adapter plugged into my PC, and I configured my pc to share the internet connection over the wifi. Windows allows to do that quite easily, but my network card (or its driver, or Windows 7... I'm not sure who's at fault here...) only allows me to create an Adhoc network. So here I am, with my 4G usb adapter shared through an adhoc wifi network. It works great: 2 PCs and 2 phones can connect to the Adhoc wifi and receive internet through it without any problem.
However, I can't get my kindle fire to connect to it. I've tried several solutions and adhoc enablers... without success.
@braintrap: Can you give me a link to the rom you used if it works to connect to an adhoc network ?
And to answer your question "does it do any good and how can I use it." No! There is no advantages of using an adhoc network if your current wifi network works well. Just enjoy
Has anyone succeeded to connect to an adhoc with a Kindle Fire ? If yes, what rom was running (stock, CM7, CM9....) ?
Thanks for any help.
Hi...
I've tried with Hashcode's, Energy and AOKP Rom's and none of the see my iPhone's Personal Hotspot.
I'm really looking forward to sharing the iphone's data plan with the Kindle in order to use it for RSS Reading and browsing anywhere!!
Thanks,
Carlos
I use energy cm9 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528024
No success with adhoc network created on my MacBook but connects easily to the network shared by the Wildfire S...
Energy ROM just updated and sports adhoc network support.

So, i'm not sure what the issue is, or if this has already been addressed.
I have my tablet and phone set up on a VPN using vpnCilla, that works.
I set up SMB through AntTek File Explorer on both devices, that works.
However! when attempting to access the SMB drive, it hangs, lags, or times out.
My coworker has the same setup on a Galaxy tab (stock) and able to access the network through the exact same method like butter.
Could this be an issue with how JB 4.1.2 handles data packets? (both my devices have 4.1.2 installed, rooted).
I've tried 4 other SMB compatible file managers, gives me the same result.
What would I need to get done to my spanking new shield to be able to use passwordless login to a linux fileserver and then use sshfs?
Basically I want to use a startup script that mounts up the sshfs which in turn will be used in Kodi.
Do I need to root it? Custom rom needed?
-Ossi
Nobody? Doesn't look good then I guess, can't even find an sshfs client thats compatible with the shield.
Ultimate Server has an SSHFS server built in. It's a pay app and you might have to sideload it. I'm not sure how you'd create keys for passwordless access on Android/Shield.
Have you tried
