Universal as wireless accespoint?

I travel by train pretty much, and I have a HTC Universal. Since I can make use of UMTS i was wondering if i could let my universal act as an accespoint, so that i can use it as router for my Nintendo DS to play online in the train. Is there some way to do this?

Its possible, using a java program to add router software to your universal. Try googling it a bit.
Surur

Hey if you find something keep us posted will ya?

i can only find lots of Telnet clients and tutorials how to connect your ppc to a router ~ ___~);;' no luck yet.

oops i cried too early Xp I found it

The first part says:
Just get the HTTPSnoopProxy.class file, copy it to, say, the root of your "access point" Pocket PC and get a decent Java Virtual Machine (I recommend CrEme 4.00 because of its superior speed, reliability and moderate memory consumption).

Seems like only web surfing will be allowed.
I got an idea when i saw this line in the link you provided:
"To share an Internet connection, you'd need operating system-level support for connection sharing as is present in, say, the desktop Windows"
I bet Linux has this. And since some smart people here has managed to get linux running on the Universal this might just be possible.
Is there anyone reading this with some linux knowlage that knows how to set this up in linux?

Have you tried it? If so does it work?
I would love to setup my Jasjar as a WiFi access point using 3G, now that Vodafone IE have an unlimited 3G data plan.

How about making some sort of quasi proxy/(repeater or relay) site on a home PC?
I'm thinking of some way to pass parameters as part of the URL for port forwarding to a proxy site that forwards to the intended destination site.

would you enjoy gaming on your DS with 200msec ping times? UMTS is fast but ping times are almost as high as GPRS's...

I this this would be a great project for someone like vjay, I'd certainly pay for an app that lets me use my universal as a wireless access point.

SAME HERE!!
I've been looking for a thread like this for a long time now and finally found it!
Otherwise I've would've made one myself with the same question..
Is there any progress about this issue?
Plz let me /us know...

Well, I'd say it depends on the GSM operator. My UMTS ping times (Europe) are generally (well) under 100 ms.

Not yet. I'm, however, pushing Microsoft (in internal forums) very hard to implement REAL connection sharing - some kind of an extended version of the AKU3+ Internet Sharing tool.

Isn't internet connection sharing enabled in Crossbow?

[Req]PPC Wireless Hacking Tools

i knew this is not new topic,but may i know any PPC wireless hacking tools,easy function,n hack into network to access to internet?i try airsniffer,but i dun know how to use it.i search entire 203page,cant find any usefull tools bout hack Wlan.thx ^^

Not here
This is not a hacker forum !
There is 2 parts in what you want :
- intercepting network traffic, easy with one or another tool
- finding network keys (wep) wich is not the goal of this forum and require much power than usual windows mobile devices are able to show

Not true. This can actually be done with a PSP. Very, very slow. But possible.
also as a side note i dont like the notion of "THIS IS NOT A HACKER FORUM"
No, it isnt. Its also not a forum where ideas are declared bad because they CAN be used in ways they aren't meant to be used.

I do not think that the internal wireless support injection mode

ignoring the fact that its illegal, i can give some hints
A ppc (at lest on WM and whit the current wifi drivers) cant sniff traffic, and even if it could plus more improbable inject (something most wifi cards cant over windows xp vista etc), the cpu couldn't get even a 64bit wep key in any useful time.
So if you could get monitor(not so improbable) and injection over WM(really improbable) you would need several hours to get the data(at lest 2hours for 200.000 ivs)
After that cranking whit a 500mhz almost no cache and very few MB free e could say at least 15hours.
something that my eee could monitor and inject (15min = 1.000.000 ivs) and crack (5secounds).
ppc are only useful to wardriving.

Limitation
I dont think the cracking of 64 bit key is a limitation since you could easily farm that off from your phone to a pc on the net.
But since the wifi chips in the phones cant sniff traffic, its not really possible would be fun though .

Yes they can
The chips in the ppc can snif and inject the datas, there is enough "how to" and softs to do that, look on google but as you said, you need much more power to decrypt a wep key that it is not practicable.
OK, send the data to another computer to decrypt, but so, why not use this computer by default from the beginning ?
There is also a linux bootcd that come with all the tools already packed in.
So yes, you can do it in a lot lot time and it's illegal so I will not give more informations about it but I tried on my own network and it works.

isit that mean,i cant get any app,with easy connect to Wlan without key,n access to internet?

Yeah windows mobile lets you use the code (hex pairs)
5U CY 5U KY 2D 0L LA R5

Time and device battery isn't gonna make it.. just forget about the idea.. You can sniff out packets is one thing.. which I already done it before many years back on a Pocket PC 2003SE.
The other thing is have enough juice in your device to last long enought to gather enough packets..
Then enough Juice again and CPU power (which obviously is nto powerful or quick enough yet) to decrypt the packets for the WEP keys.. that is if its only 64bit WEP.. 128bits I dun think it ever makes sense on the current processor..

that's the point. suppose the "real" hackers use small netbooks which have more power. ppc's are most likely not designed for such things - and i am glad about that. but if you ask me- in these days it's in general useless to do things like that, because the internet (and related issues!) is not a justice-free playground...

Android on a cheap chinese device (M-001)

OK folks, I bought a device from China to test a theory. I want music/videos/tinterweb etc in every room in my house. The plan was to have a docking station with speakers attached in every room. Then 4-5 tablets that I could plug in when I went into that room. So, if I'm in the shower, I can play death metal whilst my girlfriend watches Sex in the City in bed. That was the plan!
I got the Android tablet today and to say I'm not impressed is an understatement. The device is an unbranded tablet labelled as Mid & E-book. It's running Android 1.6.
My problem is this. Firstly I want to stream music and video from my network. It seems that all the Android apps I can find don't stream! They download to the device (with a 2gb memory this isn't practical). If there is an app that will stream properly, then great. Secondly, I want to be able to connect to my network at home. I have found an app called ES File Explorer that will connect, but I'd like to be able to login to my domain as I do with my laptop.
Maybe it's because I'm not used to it yet, but Android doesn't seem to be as good as Windows Mobile. It's quite clunky and the apps seem to crash like Windows CE!!
So, my questions are these:
If I stick with Android, can I get a media player that will stream music from the network?
Can I get an app that will let me log on to the network properly?
Can I upgrade the OS to a newer version of Android?
If I don't stick with Android, can I install Windows Mobile on this tablet?

If the company that created the table releases an upgrade then definitely you can upgrade it. I'm not so certain as Manuel updates for that particular device.
and I'm more than certain that it is not possible to install windows mobile onto your device.
as for the first two questions, apps like that may appear but have not recently.. :/

Hmmm. I thought Android was supposed to be the better version of the iPhone OS since they're both linux based. I was under the impression that there were thousands of apps to do everything. It seems that there are fewer apps than there are on Win Mobile and the ones that are available aren't as good as the the Win Mobile ones.
I hadn't even thought to check out the ability to stream music/video. Windows Media Player does this, as does every other music player on Windows. It seems ridiculous that this isn't an available for Android.
Anyone fancy writing a couple of apps?

You bought a unbranded no-name device from China, at a very cheap price I'm guessing. What did you expect? You could have looked up if there were any apps that would do as you desire before you bought the device. I'm not sure what you mean with connecting to your network? As in a wifi connection? Does the device have a wifi adapter? The clunkiness is probably because of low level hardware specs, as you'd expect from a cheap product (assuming it's cheap now). The apps crashing is probably because the manufacturer did a quick and dirty android install.

I hadn't thought it would be necessary. Android is a standard operating system. I don't check to see if a media player on Windows actually plays media files. It's taken as read. With the marketplace as competitive as it is, basic media player capabilities are the minimum I would expect from a device.

On my HTC TP2 I can connect to my domain as I can on my laptop. This is the kind of app I was looking for. Again, as WM6 is considered to be the 3rd OS (behind iPhone and Android) and it can do this kind of thing, I would have thought that Android would do it too. Maybe not as a part of the OS, but since "there's an app for everything" I would have expected there to be an app for it.

This is why I thought I could upgrade the OS. To my mind this is no different to my laptop. If I want to run Windows XP or Windows 7, I simply upgrade. Why would this tablet be different? I know it runs on solid state memory, but so does my phone. Low level specs shouldn't be an issue either. Wifi and media players have been around long enough now for the components to be cheap. The components in HTC phones are no different and they work just fine.
The fact that the tablet was cheap shouldn't enter into it. I need it to do one simply task. I'm not looking for a tablet that I can use as my primary machine. I need a simple device for a simple task.

theres a massive difference between your laptop and a tablet running android. i mean its completely different windows the operating system will install onto your laptop and grab all the necessary drivers(unlike vista). android is nothing like this, with android you first have to work out how to get to the boot menu. unlike windows its not going to come up and say would you like to boot from cd? they will try and hide the boot menu to stop you the consumer messing up the device and claiming for a new one on the warranty. and when you've got there you then have to try and find how to install the packages. often with the new device you first of all have to load on a new boot menu, because the manufacturer has locked the first one only to flash encrypted files.

look sorry dude but buying a cheap device means a hell of alot of trouble adimtadly the "specs" are the same as an entry level htc phone, but the hardware is not the phones will come with decent porcessors and, these things come with cheap processors. If you want to get a decent "hardware" tablet get a apad irobot with the rockchip processor, it gets the best reviews.
look sorry if i sound a bit rude through out this but please have a read around and you will find, android isn't just a simple insert the cd upgrade process. if your wanting something that hasn't been released by the manafacturer yet, you are gonna have to rely on this community to help you get what you want. and trust me saying all this s*** is simple isn't going to get you much help. i started a thread a while ago about this exact device. GO AND READ IT, it contains info about how to re-flash a much better rom from my understanding, i don't own the device. of course if you would have search you would have found my thread.

Really?? That's outrageous. It says it's the Android marketplace. I assumed that as the majority of apps were chinese, it was just a case that I needed to change the locale somehow. I hadn't looked properly as the wifi failed over the weekend. I've tried it this morning at work and it can't connect to the wifi here either so it's going back anyway now.

I understand that manufacturers of handhelds (tablets and phones) don't make it easy to change the OS. Quite why is beyond me, but there you go. That said though, the guys on this forum are usually brilliant in being able to cook up upgraded ROMs for every device almost as soon as it's released. I don't profess to know how they do it, I'm just grateful that they do.

I've looked at the reviews of the apad and it seems fine. I suspect I'll get one to replace this one when it goes back. What exactly is the difference between the rockchip processor and the other one? The price of the different devices indicates that the rockchip is better (as everyone says), but why? Is it just a bit faster?

I wasn't trying to say "this is easy, anyone can do it". Far from it. I work in software development and understand the complexities that go into developing apps. I also understand that developing an OS of whatever degree is ten times harder. The point I was trying to make is that Android is now an accepted mainstream OS. Most people will have little understanding of what goes into developing an app. The majority won't even care. But becuase it's a mainstream OS, the majority (including me) would expect the same functionality as provided by another OS. Maybe not out of the box, but I would have thought that someone, somewhere, (not necessarily here) would have gone to the trouble of developing a media player that will stream from the source location, and a domain login app. Android is becoming more prevalent in the corporate environment and so you would have expected somebody (or some company) to have developed such apps. People will pay for quality apps (me included). I'm sorry if you felt that I was slagging off this board. I wasn't. I was simply asking the questions (surely the point of this board?)

iOS and Android are "smartphone" Operating Systems, Windows Mobile is a Pocket PC Operating System
That's why you're able to do almost anything and hack to your heart's content in Winmo but the other OSs seem so lacking.
WinMo is not for everyone, mostly because most people are ignorant to what it is truly capable of doing, they just want a phone that runs apps, thats thats why they flock to iOS and Android...Which in turn means less and less people using Winmo thus less support for it since phone companies are a business and they care about their bottom lines, more people in adroind = more money.
I love windows mobile and wish a HD2-like device would be available for CDMA

Forgive my ignorance then, but what's the difference between a smartphone and a pocket pc os?
Since my primary use for this device is to stream media from my network, and it seems finding a media player that can do this on Android is going to be difficult to say the least, can I upgrade the apad iRobot M to run Win Mobile? I have just brought one on AliExpress.

you will not be able to install winmo to an android tablet, its kinda like trying to install mac onto an AMD machine.

There are tablets like the one you purchased that run WinMo if your interested.

why on earth would you want a non windows device to log onto a windows domain?
The only valid reason I can come up with is to acces your shares or printers on the domain. You can't apply machine and or userpolicies like you would to windows clients.
I work in a large company with +/- 9000 clients and +/- 800 servers as a sysadmin and I never understood why some people use dc @home
but to answer that question, you can logon to a windows domain with a linux client using a samba client ed. But you might have to compile them for arm against the kernel version running on your device. Don't know whether there are packages available for android out of the box. But for your needs (especially) the domain logon, I would go for a windows based tablet.

This happened before. Someone bought a knock-off Android. They all worked together and got it rooted. it was beautiful-er then this girl I'm liking right now.

[Q] netfilter and other issues

Hello fellow A7 sufferers ;-)
I've got my tablet last week and so far I'm loving it. I got it to do almost everything I need.
But I still need 2 more things:
- Networking proxy system
- Bluetooth DUN (or USB Modem to phone / USB 3G Stick (Modem))
I've searched quite a bit and found some apps, none of them really work as intended on the A7 and some are actually unstable.
Is there anyone with a reliable method to make any of this to work?
Do we know if building the kernel of the git repo will render a usable ko module? or do we need some set of A7's specific patches?
I really thing this device has lots of potencial.
Cheers.
PS: By the way what's that thing of putting the device to sleep means no notifications of alarms nor emails... ? When I put my cellphone to "sleep" or even if it's off I get the alarms to work.

The reason is developers from NVidia. Good hardware but poor programmer skills.
This problem exists at eLocity A7, Toshiba AC100, Point of View Mobii and others devices on tegra 2.

I need Proxy as well. I know that the Galaxy tablet has a proxy setting under Wireless / Advanced, yet ours doesn't somehow. I've worked with Linux/Unix type systems for almost 20 years so I have a very good understanding of their system/subsystems and underlaying configurations. I am curious if the proxy setting/setup is just a quick config change somewhere, as I do not know entirely how the GUI builds it's specific options to present to the user (not sure if they are hard coded, or dynamic based on the configuration files at the system level). I'd love to hear from some DEV that knows more than I, and I might be able to hack something together to open up some other things.

Right, that sounds like many big companies... too many products too quick that would need a couple more moths of cooking in the oven ;-)
What would be really nice is if they would open the code to the comnunity so we could fill in the missing parts. Is there any precedent from NVidia doing that in this context (Android tablet/phone) anyone who may know a contact in there?

I guess first thing would be then to get out hands on a Galaxy Tab rootfs and see what differences it does have to ours... I'm new into the Android internals stuff but I assume that in theese cases as settings and other non-changing "Activities" as they call them, they are probably coded into xml files as UI descriptions... but all that is a wild guess (for now).
One test that I'll try is compiling the git repos kernel using the tegra2 defconfig and see how those modules interact with our device's kernel
Let's see if we get this thing done.

Q: Where are the download links?!
A: If you're talking about a qEMU .IPK, it can be found here: http://touchpad.grazzt.com/qemu/ but if you're talking about operating systems,
you must find them by your own means, I would be violating copyright and XDA's rules if I posted them here. Grazzt won't supply you with these, either, so don't bother him or me about .IMGs.
Q: How do I use this?!
A: If you have to ask this question, you shouldn't be using this, but if you would really like to know: Place your hdd.img in /media/internal/qemu and open qEMU, it should attempt to boot the OS within the .img
Q: Does this run smoothly?
A: For me it does, but on my TouchPad, I have a ton patches to lighten up WebOS, as well as UberKernel, set at 1.5GHz, with the performance governor . It will probably not run as smoothly on a stock TouchPad, but I suggest giving it a try.
Q: Where's my keyboard?!?!
A: A virtual keyboard has not been implemented (yet?).
Q: Does this overtake WebOS?
A: No, it runs in a card, as an application.
Q: WTF is wrong with the mouse?!?!
A: Nothing, the mouse is simply set to relative instead of absolute.
Q: Does sound work?
A: Yes, however, on certain OS's you may have to repeatedly increase and decrease the volume (with the TouchPad's volume rocker) to get it to properly intialize.

qEMU is what used to run win95/98, it is real, but such a hassle to run an outdated OS...not to mention the mouse calibration is wayy off, and none of the internal hardware works (no sound, wifi, opengl etc.)
also, the entire package has to be compiled, it isnt ready to use just by dl'ing it and providing a ripped OS...
its a neat little PoC, but totally not worth it considering ARM Win8 dev is dropping soonishly (hopefully )

speak for yourself.
I'm a tinkerer.
I like diy projects
I do not like being hand-fed.
IT is worth it for me.

Im the "author" (well,ok, compiler) of the projects, and yeah, qemu is sort of lame for the enduser. Just wanted to see if it works and it does. Sound does work, and if I looked hard enough could probably change the mouse settings to be absolute instead of relative. Sad part is because Ive shut down win98 too many times ungracefully, I have registry errors, and too lazy to make a clean hdd image. lol
Cant really distribute it along with hdd imags of windows, Im sure you know why. I believe the freedos images from qemu.org work fine.
Dosemu has also seriously ticked me off, some games see mouse clicks, others dont, its frustrating. If you have a game that sees mouse clicks, I think it runs quite well.
Gemrb runs well, dont know what else can be said about it. Go for the eyes BOO!

WELCOME GRAZZT!
also, i wasnt bashing the project, its indeed clever, and ive see similar projects done befofe, but considering how low end some of the touchpad users here are (hopefully that doesnt last long!) its not novel for regular users.
having said that, it looks like the potential for winxp IS there, but we would have to resort to a minimalized "usb-stick" version with the media touch drivers slipstreamed (which really isnt a bad thing )
and scrizz, im the exact same as you , i dont buy, i diy! that post was more of an initial overview for ppl who just scrub through these posts and ask for links to complete projects and eta's but since the dev is here, im sure the project can advance by leaps and bounds with our help and testing

I cleaned up the original post a little.

"WE WILL NOT SUPPLY YOU WITH .IMGs of OPERATING SYSTEMS, IT WOULD BE VIOLATING COPYRIGHT AS WELL AS XDA'S RULES!"
Not fully true. You can post .img-files of Haiku and various Linux-distro's.

but linux distros probably can be run chroot'd (better performance than qemu emulation)
