Found our tablet on Samsung OSRC, talanted devs needed :) - Galaxy Tab 2 General

Hi everyone
as many many other users, I'm looking for a solution to enable ad-hoc networks with many failed attempts...
the only obstacle that faced all devs on all forums is that they can't produce working wpa_supplicant as they can't edit the appropriate source code for our tablets,
now, devs CAN view the ICS source code via samsung OSRC :
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-P5113
can any 'super talanted' developer make a working ICS wpa_supplicant that can view ad-hoc networks for us?
:good: folks, if you need this too, reply the poll shown above to show developers how many need this

So I guess you all don't need adhoc anymore seems like I'm the only one need this!! forget it devs :\

I have a general idea what ad hoc is but maybe not the whole picture. So can someone please explain why I would need that capability? It seems ICS has included ways to connect devices together to share files, internet, multiplayer gaming.
Edit- Just did a search and have a better understanding but still dont quite get why or what it would be used for.

Technically speaking, ad-hoc networks does not need (infrastructure) to operate, like routers, access points ... etc,
in general, we can say it's a state in which all devices have the same status and communicate with each other freely without routing or so,
In my case, it's just too simple that I need to get my GT-P5113 tablet tethered with my Nokia phone :laugh:
unfortunately, the stupid Symbian OS of Nokia can generate ad-hoc networks only, so if I take my tablet outside without an available wifi-hotspot (most of time), the only option is tethering with my phone to get connected ...
there were many patches for the earlier android versions, but for ICS still no one could make a working wpa_supplicant patch to enable it,
the obstacle was that we couldn't reach the 'source' of samsung ICS used on our tablets, now samsung released it ... but seems like no one interested in this feature anymore

I still am interested in ad hoc on the tablet and also on the same boat for tethering with my Nokia (N8 FTW). I've been looking frantically for a solution even rooted it 3 days after purchase hoping I can enable the ad hoc.
Would switching to a custom rom solve this problem??

There's also patch made by Polish dev Szym who found that method. Patch automatically make changes in the wpa_supplicant source, but we need someone who know how coding and building from android source.
I already sent to szym question about help, he don't yet mail me back so I waiting for the answer atm.
Patch can be found here - szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
Im only not soure if it support ICS, coz guide was written long time ago...
If someone would be able to undertake this, I'll be glad for modified wpa_supplicant to GT-P3110 as well.

I hope we manage it soon, stay tuned.

Keep us updated.
I have a hunch the patch is not for ics because it was made a good while ago. If someone can just have the modified wpa file which works with ics to catch ad hoc signal, that would be fantastic. I wonder what changed in ics that made all modded wpa file not working.

Ad Hoc GT2 7 FTW!!!

[Q] Looking for Droid 2 tun.ko

Anyone know where I can find a tun.ko for the Droid 2? Trying to set up VPN Connections for a colleague to connect to a Cisco VPN. I have it working on my X. Is a different tun file needed or would the same one work?
Thanks.
I'm relatively new to the whole android thing (as the droid 2 is my first droid phone), but my understanding is that because moto hasn't released the source yet, it is impossible to compile a tun.ko. The tun.ko for the droidx won't work because it is a different version of the kernel than the 2 is running (.29 vs .32, I think).
I've been looking for this as well, as I'm unable to connect to my work vpn over 3g (but works fine onw ifi), which is really the only thing that is making me miss my iphone at this point. Hopefully once moto releases the source, we'll get a tun.ko that will let us use the aftermarket vpn solution (rooted, of course).

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I would reply and say that I was able to get the one posted on this forum:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-milestone/79613-looking-tun-ko-motorola-milestone.html
working. Here is the direct link:
http://www.saturnwiki.net/droid_tun_driver/2.6.32.9/tun_alt.ko
This works for my kernel 2.6.32.9-g462500f.
Hope this helps someone.
Outstanding - I've been searching high and low for this info. However, what I don't know is how/where to load the file. I have a rooted Droid 2 running ApeX 1.0.2.5, so presumably, all I should need to do is get this tun.ko object dropped in the right place, set up openvpn.conf properly and it'll work. I'm not sure where to drop it though. Any hints?

I got the tun.ko from this location, and I am having the same problem that the person on droidforums was having - I can make a connection, but I am not getting a DHCP address from my server.
Did you have this problem at all? I can't figure out if the tun.ko file isn't compatible, or if my configuration is wrong. (And I tested my configuration on a Windows machine - it works fine).

[Q] usb internet

Hi,
I'm looking for an app that can make "internet over usb" work.
Not the tethering way, but the reverse way.. I googled and searched a lot of topics but cannot find how to do this...
tx!
nobody? :s
I have this in my bookmarks: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
Haven't tested yet though, because the custom rom I'm using doesn't have the required option. And if you look at the comments, many problems with this, like non-working market app. It's quite weird that Android doesn't have proper support for this, other vendors have had it for years.

[Q] [DQ] Adding BMAP to Epic ROM

I was hoping to find someone on the dev forum that has the ability to add the BMAP (bluetooth message access profile) to one of the ROMs. Im surprised that someone hasn't done, or even attempted/posted about this thus far, considering the DroidX has the profile added, i would assume that it is possible to integrate it into Android. If anyone has any ideas on how this can be done, please let me know.
I did find this blog post about the theory behind adding the functionality to Android, maybe this will help one of our awesome Dev's along.

Posting to get the opinion of those who know what they are looking for in these files. Maybe an exploit or leftover keys? Don't know, myself.
that would be so great, but I don't know it was XDA that I had read it on, and but I believe they found the SBK in a batch file somewhere in an update file for the k1.. I am so ready to get Root!! The bounty is up to $735 now that's a good bounty right there
Thanks for the heads up - that's fantastic news!
edit: thought he meant the TPT key was found. Back to hoping...

Leaked keys for K1 have been out for a while. Did not hear about them also being in an update. Someone should go through all the updates on their website for the TPT.
I don't have a TPT, but I find the rooting a challenge. What is needed are leaked keys or a leaked signing certificate.
I will dig through some of the forums to see if I can find out exactly where they found the k1 keys, I found an Rsa. Cert file, and a couple of other files, that all had to do with the certificate in one of the update files I downloaded to dig through opened them up in a hex editor lots of info wouldn't even know what to look for . I'd be willing to test whatever i have adb and everything adb is pretty sad you cant do much of anything with it...

The K1 keys I saw were leaked from a China website based on an ASUS. They were then used to exploit the K1, and bang, we got root.
Forgive my misinformation! now...can anyone read chinese

It was a *****, it took me weeks with the Google translator to get it and I actually gave up, then over the holidays I tried again and got it.
Damn! nice work man, ill cross my fingers that you stumble across the ones for the TPT so you can collect that root bounty!
I was able to get SSH going on now so i have very good feel of the tab, just no permissions to do jack sh*t, maybe if i were to bribe our lenovo rep...

I don't care about any bounty, so let it go to pay for a leaked key or certificate. I'll root it just for the challenge.
badass. Let me know if i can help out in anyway, always on xda, always have a tab and ADB accesible.
I can read Chinese, what is the website?

That was only for the K1 and it's already done.
They're looking for TPT rooting keys now
I was hoping that this new OTA would have had a fix for the remapping of the Ctrl key on the Keyboard Folio, but alas it doesn't. Its a bit frustrating trying to copy and paste using the usual Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V when that Ctrl key also opens up any menu.
Someone suggested to edit the Generic.kl in the system/usr/keylayout folder but I haven't been able to fully get adb set up correctly on my pc yet to even get to that file, and even if I did, i wouldn't know what to change it to.

Wi-Fi calling help

I didn't see a thread for this yet, so I'll start this one for questions about wifi calling. Yes there is a thread for the update that includes wifi calling. If this is too redundant, Mods, just delete it.
My main question: does anyone know how to get wifi to work on a secured network like many workplaces use? I doubt my minimalist IT department has the proper ports and such open it whatever, so I'd like to know if there is a workaround.
Well, 111 views and no replies. Guess it's just not possible. Oh well.
