[Android] Run Android without a data plan [CHECKLIST]

Hey Gang,
I currently do not have a data plan and won't get one until I switch from Sprint to Verizon. (accounts expire soon)
This is what I want to do with my Vogue:
Setup SD card with EXT2 partitions [CHECK]
Correctly install/run a SenseUI/Hero build [CHECK]
Convert my WM contacts to Android contacts offline [CHECK]
Install APK's offline [CHECK]
Use the internet connection through my PC via USB cable (while running android) [PENDING]
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
Enjoy the hell out of Android and all the possibilities for the Vogue! [CHECK]
Any and all help checking off my list is much appreciated!
~Syn

The camera already works out of the box. and Talk to enatefox about internet via USB connection.

Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
I am currently using "Pro Paint Camera that came with this Hero/SenseUI build.
I can take pictures but not video. Also, none of the lighting effects work so every picture is very yellowish.
True.... the camera does work, but it is not really usable without adjustment.

I'm in the same situation right now. I want to use android but I'm afraid I wont be able to use internet to access the market (unlike WM/ActiveSync).
The camera issue is something that I can deal with, but I think that it would be nice if someone could make an activesync-like program that can share internet.
Only difference is that I'm on verizon right now, and might consider switching to sprint!

I forget exactly when that build came out, but I can assure you that the build I'm using now has a camcorder and camera app outside of Paint Pro Camera.
FWIW, I'm using the Droid donut ion build by Zenulator.
Also, from what I know, internet through USB only allows you to browse the web, and the marketplace doesn't work. There might be some changes in the future, however.

Yes. with Cupcake / Donut the camera/camcorder seem to work with the default applications. They still don't have filters or effects to correct lighting.
... still looking for that app.

How would one go about getting Internet via USB? I have searched endlessly (or so I thought). Thanks.

I have also been trying to figure this out... but getting Internet via bluetooth rather than USB. So kind of like the bluetooth tethering that is possible right now with Android, but in REVERSE! So Internet-> PC-> Bluetooth-> Android.

USB Internet (at this point) can be very problematic. It can cause your phone to hard freeze out of the blue. I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it since it's hard to figure out what went wrong when I'm forced to reset.
Credit to DimaFern for getting me anywhere near having this working. I just messed with it a little. This is reverse tethering because you are not getting the connection from the phone. So the USB Tethering option is not related in this situation.
Here's my howto
I have not tried this without a Linux host. I believe you can forward traffic with ICS but I don't know what is involved there.
My gateway is .37, my laptop is .107 and the phone gets it's IP from the laptop:
On laptop:
echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On Android:
ip addr add 192.168.37.100/24 dev usb0
ifconfig usb0 up
## This is the IP for my laptop:
route add default gw 192.168.37.107
setprop net.dns1 192.168.37.107
cat /proc/net/route
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last line is not needed-- it's to show you that it's routing traffic. You won't be able to ping IPs from the command line and somehow Market doesn't think you're online but SAM Market, Browser, etc. do work. It's nice because you are not taxing the RAM of the phone for connectivity so it runs much quicker... unless it hard freezes on you.

i use tetherbot to tether my phone now that it's running android full time. basically install tetherbot and start the socks proxy server on port 1080 then.
Code:
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
from your computer and set up firefox to connect manually to the proxy.

I'm sorry, but isn't Tetherbot used to share your phone's internet connection with your computer?
I think we are trying to be able to "reverse tether" and not tether.

enatefox (and others)...
I would love to see how this reverse-tethering can work. I know its very complicated and buggy right now, but if you do any more work on it you should create a thread showing how in layman's terms. I have dual-boots on both my computers into Ubuntu 9.10, I know what the terminal is and sudo and some basic commands, but when you type your commands with little explanation I get lost. They could use some clarification [ such as 1) open terminal 2) type these commands. ] And please explain terminal in Android. What apk do I need? I probably have it already but just need to install it. Thanks for any help. I don't have data since my line costs $10 a month (family plan) and data would be $26 a month. I just started reverse-tethering with WM6.5.1 and its really cool.

There aren't any other steps you just run what I posted and change "192.168.37.107" to what your desktop's IP is and "192.168.37.100" to "192.168.xxx.100" where "xxx" is the subnet of your LAN-- matching the 3rd set of numbers of your desktop's IP.
You can run these commands over ADB, which is required to do this. Here's a guide on how to set it up.

Here is what I came up with trying to do the same thing with bluetooth instead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4404512&postcount=9
I was missing your "ip addr..." command to add the forwarding network, this should help, I will give it a try.
I also came to the conclusion that I needed a way to fake that either the wifi or the data connection was up. Maybe this can be done by issuing a "setprop" command forcing the status to being "up"?

UGH I'm stuck right now. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and when I type in terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" I get some error message telling me to do it a different way. So even after restarting the computer, it does not recognize any command for adb. I already did the export PATH to the androidsdk/tools folder and adb is in there, but I cannot get it to open. Any ideas?

Got it to see adb. I forgot to put /home/drkow19 in front of the path...
edit: Has anyone successfully used ADB with zen's 2.0.1? I'm trying right now but it shows no devices connected. In the 50-android.rules file I have 0bb4 instead of 18d1 like enatefox said to. Also, on the Dream forums the file they use is 51-android.rules, whats the diff?

0bb4 and 18d1 are determined in the source code. Different versions can change so whichever is shown, use. The 50 and 51 are indicators for timing. Maybe I have this backwards but 51 should start later than 50 and can address issues with it not being recognized or more precisely, overrode with another operation. I set mine to 51.

Okay I deleted 50 and used 51-android.rules. What is the line about "define vendor id" does that need to be in the 51 file?
I can say adb start-server but no devices... They say you need to sudo adb start-server but when I try that I get "sudo: adb: command not found" How do you add the adb PATH so it works under sudo as well?

[Q] HyperDroid WiFi issue on HTC HD2

Hi,
since a few days im using HyperDroidGBXv5 on my HTC HD2, the ROM is beautiful but unfortunately there is a problem with any Wifi remote app i tried.
I can access my Wifi network, surf through the internet, remote control my PC etc.
But there is no way to access my phone from the PC for remote file transfer oder remote controlling the phone. It acts like there is a damn firewall on the phone, not even a ping to the phone is possible!
Tested apps:
DroidPhoneControl Lite
Droid VNC Server
Wireless File Transfer Pro
Remote Web Desktop
Here is my logcat log: pastebin [dot] com [slash] iaQaKuLM
During the logging i start Wireless File Transfer Pro an try to access the phone vom browser. But there is no visible error on the phone so i think the logs are useless!?
1. Is the bug reproducible?
Yes
2. How do you reproduce it?
Just start the app
3. What is the expected behavior?
Access the phone wireless by browser, vnc or ping
4. What actually happens?
Nothing... On the PC just a 404 error
5. Do you have a Task Killer running?
ES Taskmanager, AppMonster but no automatic task killer
6. Are you on the default Kernel?
No i dont think so -> 2.6.32.12rafpigna_1.7_OC-g39281e5 root [at] rafpigna-pc #15
7. Did you restore using Titanium Backup?
No
1. Are you using the default kernel?
See above
2. If using a custom kernel are you loading the correct bcm4329.ko and tun.ko?
Sorry i dont know, let me know where i find this informations
3. Are you using a fresh data.img created by the system on 1st boot?
I exactly followed the tutrial in the HyperDroidGBXv5 thread
4. Are you using the default Build Folder Name that came with your version?
Yes
If any additional information is needed please let me know.
I know there are some problems with wifi tethering on this release but i found nothing regarding the problems that I have...
I really like to use the wifi remote features again and i would really appreciate for any help
greetings
MakkuZ

There are few threads regarding this issue.
I am using Ultimate Droid 3, also Gingerbread based. Few people I think was from MDJ's CM7. So it could be GB problem, dont know, no one really provided any usefull info.
There is a workaround for this. When you connect to wifi on your phone, open terminal emulator and do a ping to your PC's IP address, or use any ping app (I am using Net Ping from market). As soon as you start to ping your PC, connection is immidiatelly opened. I have no idea why it is like that, but for now I am using this method when I want to use FTP server on HD2....

OH MAN! Thanks a lot
Thats really nice! Have you tried to write a little script with ping and your ip adress in it?

Haven't tried with scripts. I use NetPing, just enter my PC IP and click ping...

I have tried some ping apps here are the results for my phone/ROM:
Working:
Ping by Firedale
Ping!Up
Terminal Emulator
Not working:
PingCmd
Ping & DNS
NetPing
I recommend Ping by Firedale because you can save different hosts in a compfortable list an ping them with one click.
Thats a really nice workaround especialy when you are at different locations!

[Q] hTC HD2 NAND

Hi all
I am new to Android.
I recently converted my hTC HD2 from Windows to Anadroid NAND. The funny part is regardless which version I use Like [BOYPPC, MIUI, CyanogenMod7 or Ultimate Droid] I can't see my Widgets after I install them. They are in the installed apps menu but not under Widgets menus.
To add more problems, whenever I start up the wireless, it connects and obtains an IP, but there is no Internet. So I installed proxy and now I have Internet. But another problem rises is that the web browser will not allow me to access SSL web pages like gmail or Android Market. Data Connectivity problem: A secure connection could not be established.
So basically the Android HD2 has been reduced to a phone function only with some few apps I can install from web. Some apps I can't download from web cuz it require Adroid market (secure connection could not be established).
I wonder do all Android NAND's exhibit this behavior or is there a workaround to the two problems I have?

What radio version do you have on your phone right now?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App

Radio 2.15
MAGLDR 1.13

Move all widgets to internal storage, otherwise they won't work. And also, no, not a single Android ROM has these as known problems as far as I know, your other problems are due to something else

Agree^
If you are trying to "install" the widgets they will not be seen by the system. I am guessing you have a compolation of widgets that you have aquired over time.
To expand a bit more on the previous post I would advise first un-installing all the widgets you tried installing then copying the widgets to your "/system/app" folder using some file explorer program then restart your phone. I would also advise just to reduce the risk of any other problems to durring the restart go into your recovery then delete cache, delete Dalvic Cache then fix permissions. It may be over kill and it will make the restart take longer but it gets the easy troubleshooting things out of the way early.
As for the no connection problem... the phone worked correcly in WM6.5? Did you try to connect or call prior to installing all of your apps? Have you gone in and phisically made sure that all of the APN settings match with what they should be? Do you know what they should be?

I would think that that is complete overkill for the widget problem, you're making it far too complicated.
@ OP Just go to settings>manage applications>widget which you want to move>move to internal storage, works for me every time without fail. Also you may want to change the default install location to 'automatic' as I'm sure most widgets automatically install to the internal storage anyway

hTC HD2 NAND
Thanks to all who have participated. You have been very helpful
Moving the widgets to the internal RAM has showed up in the Widgets menu. yay.
As for the WM6.5 it worked perfectly with wireless "once the proxy is defined in there".
Now I am down to one problem. Wireless Internet.
The wireless works fine even with Android. But there is no Internet pages as default configuration. Once the Proxy "TransProxy" is installed and running with proxy "IPort" only then there is Internet. Is this normal?
I can access SSL web pages via 3G connection, but the running cost is high. Wireless is the best choice. But I am slapped with "A secure connection could not be established".
I hope I have answered your questions as well, and you guys are great.

No clue whatsoever if this will help but I saw this somewhere else so:
Go to settings>wireless and networks>WiFi settings>menu>advanced>regulatory domain>13 (at least that's what I have) then menu>save. May help, may not and sorry if it doesn't

Thanks again all for the help & tips.
Do I sense that out of a box fresh installation of Android NAND does not support Internet browsing without a proxy app?

I have been using Android for quite some time now. I haven't had this problem..
If I understood you right, this only happens on wifi right??
And you said you can only download a few apps in market place correct?
I am not certain but the problem could be with MAGLDR... I know that MAGLDr uses whats called RMNET it's a type of connection to internet but thats about all I know.. cLK (the other bootloader) uses whats called PPP instead of RMNET. I am not certain but I've read in several developer threads where cLk (PPP) is more stable than the RMNET.
I do not know if cLK would fix your problem or not, but it could be worth a try. I know these connection types are especially a big factor in the new ICS builds.

Yes this only happens on wifi.
From Hd2: I enable wifi->connect to AP->obtain IP->connected to AP.
Launch web browser from HD2 and nothing happens. To confirm connectivity I use my desktop or laptop to ping the IP address that I obtained from the HD2 and it replies. No issues there. This only confirms that HD2 is indeeded connected to AP.
Since I do not have Internet on HD2, I install TransProxy IPort->enable it and the browser opens Internet. Hmmm.
Actually I cant access the market yet as I cant log-in to Google. HTTPS.
Summing it up:
No proxy = no Internet.
TransProxy = Internet http only. https are slapped with "secure connection could not be established"
I hope this clears things more.
As a last resort, I am thinking to re-flash everything from Zero. I use latest versions.
HSPL- 2.08 HSPL
Radio 2.15.50.14
Task 29
MAGLDR1.13
Recovery 150M repartition & CWR 3.0.2.5
Install ROM from CWR -> HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed
Anyone would like to comment on the steps I use?
Once done I will update you with the results.
Thanks all to your help & feedback

I reflashed everything from zero as I mentioned and I still have this problem.
What I meant to say able to download, I meant to say I am able to download files and attachments from normal Internet sites that do not require SSL. I am unable to get into the Android Market as it requires SSL. I never logged into the app market using my android. A secure connection cannot be established once the Proxy is configured. No proxy no Internet. A viscous endless circle.
So to all Androdians out there, you just enable Wifi, get connected to AP and you have Internet without defining a proxy on your Android?

Well, to all of you who have participated, thanks for your help.
I solved my problem with a simple app called AutoProxy. I now can log into the Android Market
I hope this tips would come in handy to anyone searching the forum.
And I am loving the NAND Android on HD2. For the first time in my life I feel I am using a phone for other than a phone. WM6.5 sucked big time.
Keep up the Good work and lets help others.

Enabling Tethering (Internet Sharing) if carrier blocks it

I've tested this with both Cricket and AT&T on my Lumia 1520 and it's working great. I'm assuming it will work with other carriers and phones but would need to be tested. It requires registry editing capabilities. I used the CustomPFD registry editor with it running as the Preview for Developers app. (note: I had to use this method to get registry write access)
Basically you just have to set the following registry keys. For carriers like Cricket that completely blocks tethering you'll need the ICSSVC & system settings but for others like AT&T that allow it but only on certain plans you'll only need the ICSSVC settings.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"EntitlementRequired"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements]
"{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}"=dword:00000007
Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.

Hello! I have a Lumia 630 with WP8.1 Update 1 (latest available from the Previews for Developers). I'm on Crickets network and would love to enable the tether option.
Can you elaborate step by step what I need to do? I have Developer Unlocked my phone already. And I'm assuming I will need to use a computer to export the XAPs?
Thanks

Ok, so I deployed the CustomWPSystem app. I've got as far as trying to patch the target app but no matter which of the target apps I try and patch, the tool crashes to the home screen. However, the target apps still open and function as normal. This makes me think it's not even trying to patch them.
Any ideas?

The same thing happens on my phone, hence the alternate more manual method linked in the OP. I used this app to unlock the wpsystem folder so I can copy the files and whatnot.

I've installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview and for some reason I can't unlock the WPSystem folder. When I click Phone after Add Provider in Pocket File Manager I get a black screen. This actually happens anytime I choose Phone as a location in any app. I think it's MS blocking out any possible access to the system files during the beta stages..

nothign for users without an SD card. The insider app is fixed too so you cant do it through any of the fiddler methods too. I think someone is working on a way to bypass that. Lets hope it works or else wait till next month

Just tried this. No dice - the Internet Sharing setting says there's no data connection available to share.
I have an ATIV S Neo that was fully interop unlocked and is running Microsoft dev preview updates since GDR3, and I've updated to the latest 8.1 update available through Preview for Developers.
The SecureItems DWORD value was different (54), and I successfully set it to 176 using SamWP8 Tools. I also changed the EntitlementRequired value from 1 to 0 and rebooted. All other values in the OP were already the same on my phone. What am I missing?

Sorry bro, if you're on Sp rint, no one seems to have a solution....unless I missed something. It seems like all threads related to internet sharing seem to go dead once someone asks about Sp rint.
Of course, I may have missed something but nothing seems to work...

I feel like it might be an APN thing, but what do I know.
If Sprint would let me tether for free, I would do it. I only use it in emergencies - it's not like I'm streaming Netflix in HD on my computer from my phone or anything.

It most likely is an APN things. Something with TetheringNAIConnection, see below from MS web page:
"TetheringNAIConnection
Optional. Specifies the CDMA TetheringNAI Connection Manager cellular connection that internet sharing will use as a public connection.
If a CDMA mobile operator requires using a Tethering NAI during internet sharing, they must configure a TetheringNAI connection and then specify the connection in this node.
Specified connections will be mapped, by policy, to the internet sharing service. All attempts to enumerate Connection Manager connections for the internet sharing service will return only the mapped connections.
Note: The mapping policy will also include the connections specified in the DedicatedConnections as well.
If the specified connections do not exist, internet sharing will not start because it will not have any cellular connections available to share
Additional requirements for CDMA networks:
For CDMA networks that use a separate Network Access Identity (NAI) for internet sharing, the Connections parameter TetheringNAI is used. The following sample demonstrates how to specify the connection"

Sprint & Tethering
I switched to Sprint almost 5 years ago when the HTC Arrive came out. I called up sprint and they said they don't offer tethering for that device. XDA came out with a custom rom that had it so I flashed and was tethering like normal. In December they cut off peer to peer stuff (which is fine with me) Then In February they sent me a nasty letter saying I was tethering and using too much data (on my unlimited data plan) In June they cut me off. So all I can say is Sprint is getting serious about not allowing tethering. Mind you my phone was 3g so..... they just dont like anyone tethering without paying for it.

Worked perfectly on my Lumia 1520 on the H2O network. Only had to change the entitlement reg key.

Didn't work for me on my 830 on Cricket. I can enable the connection settings and connect from my laptop (gets an IP and everything), but I can't connect to anything online (limited network connectivity). Any suggestions?
Nevermind, it was just my Hyper-V client IP settings. Working great now, thanks!

I've tested this with both Cricket and AT&T on my Lumia 1520 and it's working great. I'm assuming it will work with other carriers and phones but would need to be tested. It requires registry editing capabilities. I used the CustomPFD registry editor with it running as the Preview for Developers app. (note: I had to use this method to get registry write access)
Basically you just have to set the following registry keys. For carriers like Cricket that completely blocks tethering you'll need the ICSSVC & system settings but for others like AT&T that allow it but only on certain plans you'll only need the ICSSVC settings.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"EntitlementRequired"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}]
@="Soft AP"
"Location"="app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629/Default"
"Plugin"="{09c51652-2cbc-49d5-883e-20606f9a47ff}"
"QuickSettingsIconURI"="res://UIXMobileAssets{ScreenResolution}!actioncenter.hotspot.tier25.png"
"QuickSettingsTitle"="@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-535"
"Title"="@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-242"
"Type"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{69DAA7D1-09EA-4eae-A67E-56E4B0B4CA5B}\SecureItems]
"{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}"=dword:000000b0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements]
"{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}"=dword:00000007
Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.

Got it working..... there are extra backslashes in the paths that I had to remove..... the WPTweaker app can do the edits for you but you have to remove the extra backslashes.....

@su8z3ro, you mean these values?
Code:
<entry path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}" name="QuickSettingsTitle" type="string">
<value>@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-535</value>
</entry>
<entry path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}" name="Title" type="string">
<value>@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-242</value>
</entry>
[UPDATE] just tested this tweak and confirm - you've right. Updated tweak.xml committed to the github.

Yes..... I just removed the extra backslashes rebooted and it showed up in settings......

Any way to bypass T-Mobile tether?

Like they tittle Say anyway to bypass T-Mobile tether?

If rooted...
Then theres various ways to bypass and if used together chances are good you won't have to pay 2x for data: modifying your apn to allow dun type, adding the line: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
to your build.prop and finally using adb from a PC (u can try this even if not rooted) type the following from cmd or powershell: "adb shell" followed by "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" without the " "s and restart your phone n hopefully that should do the trick.
If still throttled by TMo go into Magisk and install tethering_enabler or TTL tethering modules. These modules weren't specifically made for the 6T but they should still be effective. If still unsuccessful then modifying the TTL from the device your trying to tether to will help hide the source of data aim for TTL of 65 to confuse tmo.
If your not rooted then use PDANet USB tether to a PC and hide tether options then create a hotspot from the PC your USB tethered to or use the WiFi Sharing option in PDANet PC Menu. At least thats what works the best for me and I've tried many many things... One other possibility if your on stock no root is to add a new apn with all the same info as normal fast.tmobile.net lte apn only enable MVNO type to GIO for apn type leave it blank and save it. This should hide the default TMobile apn (and make the editor think your using a 3rd party like Mint) now go back and edit the new apn and under apn type put: dun,default,mms,supl try and save it. It should error n say dun not supported... Press Home and force close settings-reboot phone. The dun sometimes will stick if this method isn't patched yet I'm sure it will be soon.
Your final options are to use an app from playstore like VPN Hotspot or VPN Tether they might slow your speed a bit but they should tunnel all your data thru a VPN confusing TMo as to the origin of data. Probably the best and easiest way is by using a custom ROM as most haven't been tainted by Google's latest CarrierConfigManager commits or carrier apn restrictions. If anyone knows how to reverse these commits easily or any other methods not listed please let me know.
I'm currently looking for a clean TMo only dun enabled apns-config.xml so I can overwrite the default n modify the build.prop for a quick fix on any new ROM or update...
As you can probably tell being throttled or having to pay 2x for the same data is a pet peeve of mine and I've spent some time researching the topic. I'd love to hear what ended up working for you or if anyone knows a solid method I missed. Or has a recommendation for a good ROM with unlimited hotspot features built in for the 6t let me know.

I installed the app from this thread, https://www.xda-developers.com/vpn-hotspot-share-vpn-connection/. You can also download the app in the Playstore. I also subscribe to Private Internet Access (https://privateinternetaccess.com) and they have an app that you can download from the playstore.
My phone contract has overseas roaming for a number of days but it restricts tethering and hotspot when roaming. The way I bypass this limitation is to run the PIA VPN, then run the VPN Hotspot app, and use the "Repeater" function. This has worked flawlessly sharing my internet connection with other devices..

Be sure you reset APN to default values after you install this new file....

Thanks bro I'll test it out...if it works care if I add it to the main post? Yeah I mentioned the VPN app along with a VPN my only issue with that method is the decrease in speed and some apps/devices don't like the VPN way much. Wish google would stop letting carriers dictate Android or itd b nice if the US would put their foot down and not allow companies to bend us over lock our bootloader's, phone's, devices we pay for or try and swindle us by charging 2x for data or throttle us...

Not sure what I did wrong, but it's not loading for me. All my APNs disappeared. I reset to default after replacing with the one provided.

Well, I know this post is rather old, but I made a Magisk module that does everything for you...
