http://www.emoiz.com/how-to-connect-samsung-galaxy-s-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network

I use this one (was pulled from an AOSP 2.3.3 build) with Darky 10 RC4. It's a little buggy at times but no worse than any of the others I've used with 2.1 and 2.2

thx, worked for me as well with Simple Honey v3.5

not working for me on ginger 2.3.3 criskelo 5.8 XXJVO.
it always obtaining but never connect

Works on my stock O2 Samsung Galaxy S2 (rooted of course) - but not sure it maintains as strong a signal as I would like (using with an AR.Drone) - still testing but definitely works and hasn't prevented me from also connecting to other secure networks.

How do you change the wpa_supplicant to this one? I've tried to go to recovery mode and apply this .zip as an update but it says installation aborted...
I've tried to copy the file you've provided to the system/bin folder using a root explorer, but nothing happens... the file stays the same... help

did you remount the file system /system as read/write (rw) ?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean to "remount the file system?"
The "system" folder has read/write permissions set according to my root explorer?... however I've just tried to rename or delete the wpa_supplicant and it doesnt work..

enter the /system folder with root explorer
and press the W/R button
and try again

enter the /system folder with root explorer
and press the W/R button
and try again

Okay, so I've finally figured out to how to remount with r/w permissions and replaced the file with the one posted here. However, now my WiFi won't turn on. The indicator that normally lights up green stays gray and there's no connection.
PLS HALP

what are the permission of the file you copied to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant ?
you will have to make executable for all

AdBlocker for ICS

Has anyone got a working AD-Blocker for the ICS Roms...?
I have tried to update the host file manually and this has not worked... as system is R/O
Tried setprop system.mount rw still no joy....
Just wondered if anyone had got anything working....
Thanks

You can change hosts file with rooted device. I suggest use Es File explorer for full access R/W file system. If you edit hosts file on windows, you must convert it using dos2unix before copy to A500.

ROOT WITH
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1546593
DO NOT INSTALL FACELOCK or ACER RING
then after you open your tablet.
1 - Launch A500 Remount
2 - Press /system (Full access in ICS LEAK)
reboot your tablet
redo 1 and 2
then
use root explorer, go to system and press r/w button to change to r/w that should work

1) Get root as mentioned earlier
2) download AdFree from the Play Store. It works with ICS
This is the easiest method

This is a good method, however I noticed some problems with links to sites with ad redirects not working with AdFree. ROM Toolbox on the Play Store has an ad blocking option built in that has some more options (such as blocking risky sites or porn) so you can tweak to your liking.

AdAway also works, plus it has quite good block lists (AdFree misses some ads for me).

Thanks guys... I have root access already but still cant get R/W....
I am going to flash another ROM via CM.....
I used to like it when the old flash able ZIP files work..
Thanks
again to all

Do you follow what I said or you just quick read..
the R/W you get it by doing what I said.
sometimes it's just weird, but reboot, and remount in RW then USE ONLY ROOT EXPLORER to mount R/W system/ others didn t make them work...
and command line neither...

Help with ADB/Ad Hoc on ICS

Hi!
I'm trying to enable Ad Hoc mode on an Acer A500 running OTA ICS. I installed the Acer USB drivers; rooted it with blackthund3r_ICS_Root 6.0; checked it with Root Checker Basic; installed ADB on my Win7 PC; and checked that "ADB devices" reponds with a device ID; and obtained the WPA_supplicant file mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625962
Every time I try to copy the new WPA_supplicant file to /system/bin, it fails. Also, copying WPA_supplicant with Root Explorer fails, even with the partition mounted RW.
Help! What am I missing?
TIA.

You're not missing anything. The root method, does not give you true 100% System R-W access. Not with the stock bootloader. What you can try,
Copy your wpa file to the internal memory (remember where it is) (also long press and select copy)
Then run the included app "a500 Remounter" and select the System R-W option. (this was installed when you rooted) Then quickly go to your file manager, and set /System to R-W and try to paste your wpa file there.
You;ll have to play with this to get it going. Might have to do it a couple of times. This was a big pain, as I had to be very quick when doing things, as the R-W went away quickly.
I know you tried this a couple of times, but try it again. Also, make sure you;re using his version6 root app. It's a little better.
It's the reason why I moved to the ver3 hacked bootloader&kernel combo.
Your R-W usually goes away after you close the file manager app.

Hurray!
Thank you Moscow Desire. Being quick seems to have done the trick.
But here's a tip for others: Es File Explorer, in spite of claiming otherwise, doesn't seem to allow changing file permissions.

Yeah, another one that doesn't work well with the stock bootloader/root method is File Explorer HD. It just plain refuses. (hadn't used ES FE in a long time, so completely forgot about that one). Root Explorer is a little more reliable.
Glad you got it changed.
Also, when I was running stock and ver2 bootloader, I noticed I had to run the root program again to get R-W. Doesn't hurt anything, just had to run it again. But with ver3 bootloader w/altered boot.img, no problems. All explorer programs seem to work like they should.

Hmm I'd never had to rush to get remounted rw and having to press it in root explorer is a bug in RE. If you remount rw from cold THEN load Root Explorer it will show /system as already mounted rw

Maybe on some systems it does. I brought this up a few weeks ago. Maybe it's tablet specific.
After a week or so, the Remounter failed to change System to R-W. It claimed it did, but Root explorer still showed R-O. You couldn't change it. No other changes were made to the OS.
Ver6 did the same under ver2 bootloader with stock kernel. You had to be quick to do the changes, as the other user said. It's not a fluke.
Other known oddities,,,
File Explored HD would not recognize it. Failed to change System to R-W, Updating to Ver3 BL and kernel fixed this.
Of course it's a damn fine tool. It works well for most people. And we're thankful you take a part in development. Wish more would get involved.

[Q] Rooted Stock MDL - ES File not allowing delete

Just got the phone, updated to MDL. Stock root and TWRP recovery.
SU is installed. Downloaded and checked root with Root Checker - root affirmed.
Only mod so far is Hotspot with the MDL Odexed through TWRP.
Installed ES File Explorer, and it wont allow me to delete or rename system files (specifically ui sounds).
ES asked for and was given SU permission.
I am only good enough with Android as far as I can follow instructions in these forums - I know nothing beyond that.
Any ideas what the problem may be? I was considering getting Root Explorer, if that will work, but I dont want to drop the 3.99 if the problem is elsewhere or can be fixed.
Thanks for your help.
(And what I am currently trying to accomplish is silencing the camera (or more specifically, editing/saving the feature.xml file to allow menu switching of sound : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261789 - it wont let me save the text edited file - I assume it;s the same problem that wont let me delete/rename.)
Thanks. Without you guys I'd be straight Sprint/Samsung stock - aint nobody got time for that.

Thanks, but that was actually the first thing I tried - it brings up the rename dialogue, but then after change and "ok", nothing is changed. Same with Astro and Root File Manager.
Thanks, though.
Anyone else?

Try pressing Menu and then going to "Root Explorer" and then "Mount R/W"
From there, make sure the path shows RW instead of RO. Click ok.
Exit out of ES File Manager and come back in and check the Root Explorer Mount R/W again to see if RW stuck. If it did, try to see if you can delete.

Clicked on root explorer and it gave a (paraphrased) "ES File Explorer has been given superuser privileges for interactive shell" (or something close to that), but I cant find "Mount R/W" anywhere.
And trying various things keeps giving me "device not supported" errors. Again, a paraphrase as the message isnt on screen long enough for me to get the exact wording.
Thanks again for the help.

Is this what comes up when you click on root explorer?

No. Nothing opens up. Same settings menu screen, there is just the message that appears below, then disappears, about "superuser permission granted.

I also have same issue where it tells me superuser access has been granted. However, about 15 seconds later I get another message saying "Sorry, test failed. This feature can not run on your phone."

Hmm, that's definitely not right. Try going to the Application manager, to ES File Explorer, Clear data, Uninstall, then re-installing it through Play Store. See if it still does that.
You should definitely get that screen when you go to root explorer.

That is exactly what is happening with me.
Thanks Apex - doing that now.
UPDATE:
Nope. clear, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot... and still getting the same results. Bah.

Does Solid Explorer also fail to be able to delete?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer

Thanks Apex. Solid Explorer worked. Thank you for not giving up on the ideas.
While I am glad I found a solution to deleting the files, I remain a bit concerned about the ES File Explorer problem. It make me think other problems exist that I just haven't hit yet.
Case closed!

Great, glad that worked out for you.

One of the mentioned updates on the little graphic for the update was "Mobile Hotspot reliability has been improved" , so I'll be very surprised if the Home button trick still works

I'm very much looking forward to better Cellular reliability. With MJ7, I often can't make a call. No signal whatsoever. If I change to MI9, I have much better reception and reliability. Not great but much better. I'm hoping MJE will be great. Fingers crossed!

When you start the mobile hotspot and youre not subscribed it pulls up an error box telling you to subscribe. You just hit the home button and it goes away and the hotspot still stays on and works

Even if VZW fixes Hot Spot, there is a Tether patch available that will allow the hot spot to bypass the subscription check. Runandhide05 made up a .zip yesterday for the N2 running 4.3 and it works flawless.

Does this zip work for non-root, or only rooted N3s?
Cheers,

I got it a few minutes ago. Too soon to tell if there are any improvements.

I took the ota with root survival mode checked on the Super su pro app and kept root just fine..I first unistalled xposed and modules, defrosted the bloat I had froze with titanium, checked ota survival mode with Super SU Pro (Paid Version) while keeping root enabled, Rebooted, took OTA and it works fine while maintaining root.....to early to notice any improvements but I have notice spell checker is enabled on the Samsung keyboard...+1!

It will not work since the patch is tied into the frame work. Will need a dev to pull the update and apply the patch.

So I can enable keep root and safely update?

Modded it already, its been tested and confirmed working by open1your1eyes0. Download here
you have to rename it to framework-res.apk.
Edit: I assume you know you have to either flash this with a zip or copy it to /system first then change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644) and then MOVE it to /system/framework and overwrite framework-res.apk (remember must rename N3-framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk prior to this step)
Simply copy and pasting will cause you to boot loop so instead move it to /system first and change the permissions then and only then move it to /system/framework/ and overwrite the original
