Update 2015-04-13: PPP Widget 2 now includes support for Android 5.0.x (5.1 not tested)
==================================================================
Update: try PPP Widget 2 (Google Play) if you have driver issues.
==================================================================
I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500. (It should run on other tablets as well, of course.)
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.
Changes include:
full network access should work properly on 4.1 devices now
improved robustness on several custom ROMs
Edit: Version 1.00 is now available at Google Play.
Changes include:
No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..
Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.
supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.
Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I didn't do anything thank the OP , I just confirmed that it works on my custom roms.
Some info for app builder.
Sometimes I need to remove the widget from home screen , go back to Widgets and replace it on my home screen .
If not I get crash message , ppp widget stopped.
I tried lots of tool but finally arrived to easytether pro

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...
Superb APP..Will die for it

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.
for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

No it won't I tested that.
Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)
although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).
Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...

I've pulled this build. I stand behind google's request to not distribute builds including closed source applications.
what is advanced launcher?
it allows you to hide apps you don't use from your launcher drawer by dragging them to the trash.
Hey mssmison,
Your post says 320x240 res, but the decription on Vogue android says 320x480
Booted up using usual 320x480 fine, data and market works, able to place a call.
nice theme and pretty damn fast so far also.

actually, try 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for a correct aspect ratio while allowing the usage of all the apps.
very, very nice release indeed.
- using 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for correct aspect ratio while not breaking any apps (such as keyboard).
- very fast call notification (within 1st ringtone)
- wifi working
- data working
- market working
- very fast
- left some extra stuff, such as the rogers stuff (my account, ringback, ringtones), teeter, :-/
I set to 320x427 with lcd 160 but some apps like the music app is still getting cut off.
Also on the market I am only seein a few apps and games, not the full market.
I had this same issue with the 1.6 donut also.

On the google Code page you will find a new bundle for the newly updated HTC cupcake build.

You must make sure your res is 320x240 to boot. again the old rootfs won't work, this one is updated. I'll update the bundle later.

Hi
What a wonderfull build.. Thanks a lot to all who have developed this. Andriod definetly is far better than WM (for me atleast)
Was able to install the rogers build. It took sometime. I used the rootfs.img that came with the zip but didnt work on my tilt. So i used the one from the basefiles-v2 and that did the trick. It took sometime to load initially but did work.
Things that worked
1. Wifi and Market. Was able to download applications
2. Browser working
3. Calling and SMS worked (though with slight issues)
4. GPS working (recoginzed in google maps and Sportyhal)
5. Import contacts worked
6. Music with good clear sound
7. Great speed
Things that didnt work or had issues
1. You tube connect and i can listen to music but can only see the first image that it download and not the whole video
2. For some reason I cannot confirm at this time the calling was going thru but wasnt able to hear the call answer
3. All new icons for shopping, Home, My account give errors
4. Standard things not working - Camera, bluetooth, speakerphone on call, the calibaration application always force closes.
Not tried data connection as I dont use it
Can anyone help me out with anyof the above issue or is this something everyone is facing.....
I will continue to use this version instead of WM ...
Thanks

May be tilt related with the calling. I use this as my daily build and haven't experieinced these issue. The rogers apps that are there are only for rogers network users. I had a request to leave them so I did. You can always hide them with the advanced launcher, just drag them to the trash.

It can't possibly work, as someone said that once read something on the Internet where someone else said it probability wasn't possible.....
I've updated my Vodafone branded HTC Legend, the only place I'd use flash is BBC iPLayer which I cannot get working, it displays the loading circle but then says "Adobe Flash; The content is not supported".
The speed is great, the animation of it opening the application of the application opening towards you, seems nice.
Live wallpapers is there, some nice stuff like the HTC flash light and apps2sd.
Other than that it just seems the same as before, the task launcher at the bottom hasnt changed, to a novice user it will just feel the same as before.
An annoying thing in my Internet browser after clicking a button to next page it keeps saying "Complete action using" even after I tick "Use by default for this action." it always pop back up.
Overall its similar to before, but the overall experience seems much better and smoother in my opinion. The web browser in particular is fantastic, much better than the one on Azure. Also the graphics seem very smooth in games.
It seems similar to the HTC Desire ROM now that we have the visual effects and liv wallpapers, though we obviously don't get HD video recording, and it seems we don't get Flash 10. Having said that, the HTC Flash Player SEEMS improved so at first I thought we had got Flash 10!

The hardware supports it fine. Our current drivers allow for an ad-hoc network. what would be better is AP mode (default Android tether), but the drivers and firmwares (for the wifi) didn't support it.

2- screen-off animation
3- VOIP Support
4- The new google Music app crashes though
5- the light on the the keys doesn't turn off, only if the screen is also off ( thought its a good bug )

Please Guys List Any Issue You Got So I Can Edit It To the Thread
Ok, number 10, its not a bug. The tab will trickle charge is used with standard cable.
If you buy an adaptor, then you can get it to charge at a 'normal' rate.

5 isn't a bug. Its a feature of gingerbread.
Wifi has been better for me on 2.3.3
The screen off animation is enabled if you flash Overcome 2.0.0 Beta 1 or 2.
No issues with the wifi. Working fine.
5. Actually is a good thing for me. I always tend to tap the wrong button when im in the dark cause the light turns off immediately on froyo. Though the disadvatages would be when watching movies, the light of the button can be distracting.
8. Is also not a bug. Lol

ya its not bug , but some ppl consider it as a bug , but not me lolz
for the arab language ya maybe its not for u but it is for some ppl
anyways i make it support arabic now u can check in dev section
I don't use the space bar using swype. It creates its own spaces.
therefore not a bug either. lol
Yeah right, but we're on Gingerbread \0/
I have VOIP working after applying this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...07&postcount=2
Then it shows up in Setting:Call Settings: Internet Call Settings
But I cannot answer incoming VOIP calls with the TAB (although it might work with a bluetooth headset) because there is no incoming call screen or answer button like there is for a normal GSM incoming call.
Outgoing calls work fine.
Im interested in voip on the sgt. Installed the fix. Now I need a sip account. Someone here to advice me on this one?

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.
Cheers

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

there is no setting menus for those 2 apps so can't change anything. The chrome2phone was working fine on my original ROM (froyo)
isn`t there is Android 2.3.7 for the galaxy tab
can you use it in the next update?
but i think this is a great job you`ve done

Hi Acubens,
I notice that long press power button menu (aka Device Options) doesn't offer reboot options.
can you make that for us?
Thanks for the nice ROM.

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

Got it. Thanks anyway!

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback on the issue you have, it will probably never work as it is made for froyo and not for gingerbread.

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....
use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.
V2.2 Released! Grab It From Download Area. Also release v2.1 in Odex
Finally Working Download Booster, may work for other variants as well! Thank you to all who assisted in this project and to all my testers. If you're a developer and want to use my MOD for DBooster, PM me. Don't just use without permission.
Carriers thought they disabled it for consumers to not use, I don't believe in restricting the promised features Samsung said were included. Power to the Users!

Edit 4/16: WIP, still testing to see what may work. Any info towards file on variant where download booster is enabled would be appreciated (ie, extracting file from T mobile version and posting on forum). Will try to work on it. Currently looking into the S4 forums towards the path and edits needed to make it work.
EDIT 4/18: need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk from phone variant that has download booster as an option so I can try to port it to our device.
EDIT 4/23: so Ive gathered the T mobile versions of the apks and decompiled. Ive managed to get the download booster in Sprint Variant settings as of now and easy enable from touchwiz (see screenshot). Still working to fully enable.
EDIT 4/26: see post 30 screenshot, need to find this file location.
EDIT 4/26 #2: after help from miked63017 pointing me to a post by eyecon82, along with what I've found from various ROMs and Db files/etc, I have enabled Download Booster in the Notification Panel drop down (see screenshot). Now to get it fully working.
EDIT 4/28: after decompile of SystemUI, NWBooster actually has many places within, mostly smali edits needed to enabled under Network Controller. The Network Booster is actually related (by searching the SQLite Editor->Settings Storage->Settings.db->system->search for "Smart") to Smart Bonding to the Quick Tile for NWBooster. Also, through decompile of the SystemUI, under Network Controller, I noticed a ro.config.combined_signal (still deciding what this actually is based on file).
EDIT 5/4: I've linked the download booster (aka nwbooster/network booster/smart bonding) to WFC (also called Wificalling). By noticing that smartbonding (under settings.db from SettingsProvider) that Wificalling AND Download Booster both tripped the smart_bonding to become 1 from 0 (showing enabled). I looked again into the Settings.apk decompiled and found that DBooster is linked to WifiCalling, meaning we get one enabled, we get both. I also know, that under /System/framework that TmoWfcUtils.jar exists which does have functioning into why T-mobile has both the Wificalling and Download Booster enabled. I believe this jar has something to do with Dbooster and it being enabled. If you'd like to assist in this project, please PM me.
EDIT 5/6: Possible fix may have been found, need testers to confirm. Requires root (obviously), custom recovery, and LTE signal in area for test (3G will not work). If tests go good, I'll release a flash zip for all download booster fixes, settings and all. Hoping this works.
EDIT 5/7: WORKING DBooster, now going to finalize files for flash zip to allow everyone to use as well. Going to assign credits and make sure other threads for other variants get it as well.
EDIT 5/7 #2: Think I may be on to where the Download Booster Restrictions are and may be closer to removing them so all Downloads work (possibly). In theory, by removing the ratio needed for DBooster to work (which is LTE:Wifi ratio), it should in turn work via 3G as well as LTE since no parameter to either speed determining the other. Have to see tomorrow when working on it, midnight here and need to be up early. Just glad progress in it being enabled haha.
EDIT 5/9: Believe I found restriction points for DBooster and need to remove them. Will beta test once done.
EDIT 5/13: Faster/better range/more available spots for it to work.... I present NWBooster-v2. I also have now a flashable zip for Sprint settings so you can easily switch back and forth to update PRL/Profile (for now until I can get fully MOD settings with both built in)
EDIT 5/16: Version 2.1 Release, small changes/fixes with DBooster and SecSettings Addition (added Mobile HotSpot App to appear in Launcher and few options, check it out!) Wificalling option in More Network settings will FC, this is option for upcoming MOD (hint)
EDIT 5/28: v2.1 Odex release. Also, still working on hotspot mod to work with DBOOSTER, not playing well together. Still in beta.
EDIT 5/29: v2.2 Released, 3G working for myself (may be certain sites but see screenshot in statusbar). Will not show in Notification Area as LTE (which reads 0 since its 3G, no worries). SecSettings should work now BUT see my post for v2.2 release POST 229 for details on what has to be done, follow Specific or it may not work.
Special thanks to ram9200 for framework file, to my beta testers as well.

2. Long press homescreen
3. Select shortcuts -> activities
4.Scroll to settings and open
5. Scroll to Download Booster to add to screen
6. Tap new setting icon on homepage
7. Enable and profit
After enabling, you can see download booster in notification bar grayed out until usage. You CAN unistall third party launcher afterwards if you desire since download booster still activated.
Edit: WIP, still testing to see what may work. Any info towards file on variant where download booster is enabled would be appreciated (ie, extracting file from T mobile version and posting on forum). Will try to work on it.

Even though enabled, apparently, somewhere in the framework/settings, it's disabled from working right yet, trying to work on getting it up and going hopefully for Sprint variant then all other variants who don't have it (assuming sprint doesn't release an update for it, not counting on that though yet).

You can also just use Anycut without installing & uninstalling a launcher.
I don't get why people care about this even. How many of you regularly download files over 50Meg? I rather have the one less app eating CPU and RAM power.
If I am on Wifi my download would be almost instant anyway lol.
It's a neat concept but for mobile phone no practical use. Now a laptop with built in 4G and WiFi might be cool to use if doing huge transfers.

Yea but if you're already on WiFi an 700-800M rom isn't going to take long enough that an extra few Mbps would help lol.
When I am at home on my WiFi it downloads the rom in around a min. Grant it my connection is prob faster vs. most but still.
For the few times you would use it the trade off is CPU/RAM being eaten even when not using it 99% of the other time.
Just my thoughts though.
I can't imagine you downloading a Rom multiple times a day to be useful. I understand at first maybe to try new ones as it's a new phone but I just thinking more long term I guess.

I don't think you know what you're talking about because DL Booster can be turned off when not in use. Plus you could possibly double your DL speed, so how could you possibly rationalize that it wouldn't help...
