Had to post here due to I have not posted enough to put it in Developer area.
VS98011A - Rooted and using Portable Wifi hotspot from Core
Instructions from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338&highlight=wifi
I followed the instructions in the Developer topic to back-up and replace the hotspot files,,, but,,, I accidentally started the Portable wifi app before I rebooted. Used root browser and files renamed/copied fine.
I rebooted, uninstalled portable wifi,,recopied the modded file and set permissions,, rebooted again and re-installed portable wifi and then started wifi app,,,,,,,, it then popped up the screen to set up wifi hotspot,,, done that and app went back to home screen.
When I start wifi app, screen will give a quick flash(too fast to see what it is),, stay on home screen with this this brief message "Turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot", then message disappears. I get no icon in notification bar that shows that app is running. It isn't running since other devices do not detect it.
I re-installed original files and started over and but still didn't work.
Questions/Issue
1. Do I need a different wifi app
2. Preveiously on my S4 when I ran this wifi app I would see that app was starting,,, see the warning screen, press home screen button to remove warning and get the icon in notification bar that app was running and it ran fine.
3. Is there a setting/checkbox that needs to be changed?
4. Do you leave out the odex file like instructions say?
5. Do the successful users of this method have the icon in notification bar that shows it is running?
Edit:
Do I need a separate app?
or am I supposed to be using the option - Settings/Mobile Hotspot --that checkbox?
sorry for length but newbie and frustrated............ thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

Hey guys this is my first post here and I tried to search for an answer before posting. Here's what I have:
-HTC Hero CDMA
-cyanogenmod 6.1 heroc
-most recent sprint radio 2.42.01.04.27
-decafuct kernel 2.6.29.6
-open home full 4.4
Since I installed the new kernel and radio two things are happening.
1. Thy wifi says 'error' when I try to turn it on.
2. Everytime I reboot as soon as the home screen comes up it says that openhome had a problem and needs to be closed so I select forclose (my options are forceclose and report) Then after a second the home screen shows up, I see the the phone is mounting my sd card and my icons are all there but they are the generic android icons. If I click on any it says, this application is not installed. So I go into application manager and force close openhome again, and that restores it. Also any Widgets I had installed has the error 'problem loading widget' if I long press the screen to put a widget back, most of the Widgets aren't showing up to select. At least the ones that were running before the reboot. Any ideas? I've tried starting in safe mode and the home screen never comes up all I can access is the status bar on top.
And yes, open home is installed on the phone and not the SD

My expected behavior: Open app (like a file explorer) >>> turn screen off (or time out)>>> turn scren on >>> file explorer should be still open
observed behavior: Open app >>> turn screen off >>> turn screen on >>> always back at home screen of launcher
IRRITATING!
edit--- see below...
Solved--
Derp... it's my all my own fault... warning... super genius at work.
I had created an automatic sequence of sequences that occurs when the screen goes off. Part of which included checking wifi status and then disabling wifi if I wasn't at home. But it would enable wifi, if I was at home, AND launch GrooveIP app AND then return to home screen so I wasn't turning my phone on to see the GrooveIP dialer.
Oh, yeah... I remember doing that now... lol.
Work-around achieved. And it all works. Yay.
And in other good news I got my SDK (in particular the ddms) working for my Nexus 4. Apparently I had a total of 3 Android SDKs installed on my PC. I had forgotten about one install. The one that I forgotten about was the one that I kept updating when I updated. And one that I kept launching ddms from was not getting updated and so it was derping with the N4.
So, Double derp on me... all fixed now... :laugh:
You can use galaxy locker 3.3.2 on aptoide for exemple.
like seaweedopm says :
Okay, so after johnnydowngrief mentioned the name of the lock screen and version number I went looking for it. I found it but wanted to test the functionality before I posted the links.
First, I found the installer at:
http://m.donvito2021.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.lockscreen.galaxys4/332/4238918/Galaxy Locker
When I ran the app, I received the normal rate this app and remove ads prompts. I was also prompted to update to the latest version of the lockscreen. Before I was able to proceed with the update, I received a message that the "Galaxy S4 Lockscreen has stopped." Fortunately, the lockscreen app's configuration was still up along with the prompt to download the update. So, I accepted the stopped message, accepted the update prompt which began to download and then received another lockscreen has stopped message. Again, the important parts of the app continued to function, specifically, the update continued to download and the configuration screen stayed open. I received the lockscreen has stopped message a few more times before the update finished downloading. Once the download completed, I ran the update - overwriting the current version - and opened the app. This time it opened without receiving any stopped messages. The configuration options all appeared to be in order so I exited the configuration and turned off the screen.
When I hit the power button a new screen appeared with the default lock. I unlocked the screen and it showed the same background. I ran my finger across the screen and noticed an animation occur (one of a couple animations offered in the lockscreen configuration). It seems that I still need to find out how to disable the default Kindle lock. There is a menu item to do so in the lockscreen configuration however it brought me to a page that enables the creation of a PIN to unlock. In normal Android tablets this is the area you select "none" but not in this case.
Has anyone figured out how to disable the default Kindle unlocker?
It's probably also worth mentioning that without a physical home button, is there any reasoning behind assigning the Galaxy S4 Lockscreen as the default launcher? The Kindle is so fast I didn't notice a difference between either option as I have with some lock screen applications on other tablets in the past (GO Locker).
In addition to the link above, I also found a xda user who is apparently offering mods for this lockscreen. His forum post is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44812287&postcount;=3
P.S. I have a 2nd Kindle Fire HDX 7" for my girlfriend and when setting it up using the same steps as above, the download failed. If this happens to you don't worry, it isn't hard to fix. I simply forced it to start again manually through the menu options on the lockscreen's configuration page.
and like johnnydowngrief says, you have an another thread tutorial here :
Follow this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101564. It worked for him.
edit :links ok
Fix the links please. They are not the full needed links they get cut off with the ... in the middle
If you toggle data on and then off, a notification appears saying
"You will no longer be able to use applications such as Internet, Email, or other apps that require a network connection, unless you connect to wifi etc."
The message however remains there even with Wifi on.
There is no option to clear the notification and then an Icon appears in the top left hand corner reminding you of the fact.
That top left corner of the screen is usually used for many other temporary notifications which can now no longer be displayed.
If the phone is started with data off then everything works as it did with Android 6 until data is toggled again.
Anyone know how to get rid of this notification?
I actually have found this to be a nice change, as toggling on data after turning it off, is much easier now. That being said, a normal toggle like wifi or bluetooth has, would be much preferred. Dont know how to get rid of the notification, other than restarting the phone with data off (like you said).

I miss this data on/off toggle feature from the quick menu that I had on my LG G3 and other earlier Android phones.
I now use the usage manager widget on my home page or edge menu to toggle data on and off.
I have reached out to my contacts at AT&T to try and find out why they did this and if they intend to make this notification selectable like almost every other one is.
Hasn't ATT been doing this for a long time? I had to add the data toggle via root and script edit on my old ATT note 3 I remember.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's not the absence of the quick toggle I am talking about here it's the fact that a notification comes on when you turn data off but there's no way to remove the notification once it appears or a setting to stop it from appearing at all.
I have the same issue. It only started after I downloaded and installed the Android 7.0 update late last week.
Did anybody find a solution to this yet? This can be quite frustrating as I just switched from an international s7 edge and that even had a mobile data notification toggle. Thanks in advance!
After you toggle data off, reboot the phone. It goes away for me after a reboot.

Kill the phone app
It's a bit cumbersome but better than rebooting / restarting.
Slide the 'data off' notification right to expose the gear icon
Click gear
Click green 'phone'
Now 'force stop' the phone app
I know it sounds scary but this works (until the next time you enable & disable data).
Yeah I've got the same complaint with my S7, can't slide off or clear the notification after turning data off unless you restart. Let us slide the option off. I want a button I can just click to turn on/off data. "OH WAIT, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND CONVENIENT, WE CAN'T DO THAT!" -Samsung
I hate this notification
Is doing this too harmful for the phone app? I just got a Galaxy S7 that had AT&T as a carrier, but I'm not on the AT&T network. I just tried a hack from XDA that allowed me to get the mobile data toggle but the notification started popping up when i disabled data. It's very annoying but I haven't found any other ways of disabling it. I just want to know if force stopping the phone would be bad for me in the long run. I'm wondering why i upgraded if it was going to be so much trouble.

Hello, I hope this helps those who don't have access to enable the WIFi HotSpot in the settings on their Boost Mobile Samsung J7.
I just purchased this phone after my old Lg G5 with Tmobile broke, and it frustrated me that although I was paying for the unlimited plan with Boost, I would need to pay $10.00 extra each month in order to be able to access the hotspot feature, and I refused to do that.
I initially downloaded FoxFi and a few other apps from the PlayStore, and FoxFi actually worked for the 1st day but then I started getting an error about "No internet connection" and could not get the hotspot working anymore no matter what app I tried.
Well, after some trial & error and testing, I found a way to enable the hotspot function easily from within the phone itself and without having to download or install any apps like Foxfi, but you do need to install "Shortcut Master" and if you have the full version to allow shortcuts to be created on your home screen its even better.
Instructions:
1. Download and install "Shortcut Master" from play store.
2. Open "Shortcut Master" tap the 3 dots in right hand upper corner, then tap "App Explorer", make sure the drop down says "all apps", then scroll down until you find the line that says "SETTINGS" and under that it says "com.android.provider.settings" and tap on it.
3. A new page with rows and rows of different settings should be listed. Scroll down until you locate the row that says "Settings$TetherSettingsActivity". Once you tap on this row, it will bring up the options to: Launch, Favorite, or Homescreen. At this point you can tap launch which will take you directly into the hidden HOTSPOT settings menu where you can edit the settings for the HOTSPOT and enable it.
4. I'd recommend also tapping "Homescreen" option also so you can add a direct shortcut to the hidden HOTSPOT menu on your homescreen to be able to access the menu turn on and off the hotspot much easier then having to open shortcut Master each time you want to enable the hotspot.
5. And......VOILA!!! You should now be able to turn your hotspot on and off and configure it as needed.
I did a search prior to making this post and all of the post that I saw included downloading 3rd party hotspot apps, but this is much easier and so far I have not had any issues. I am running Android 6.0 at the moment on the stock ROM for the Boost Mobile j7, but I do want to add that I DO HAVE ROOT access but I am not sure if that will matter or not.
If anyones phone is not rooted could test this to verify it also works on your non rooted phones that would be great and much appreciated.
I hope this helps anyone has had trouble enabling their hotspot and are on the Boost Mobile network.

Don't know why you would need this on a j700p? Just go to settings and there's a hotspot menu....
