(FYI) Barnacle wifi tether

Just to let you know that you can use this instead of changing apn settings, i tried that and seemed to freeze, used barnacle the first time this morning and its been working flawlessly all day.

Agreed... Barnacle works perfectly.
The APN route is cleaner, but unreliable.

I also agree, I am waiting to get on my home wireless before the market will allow me to download Barnacle thanks to AT&T market filtering, but I have been running a google tethering app for the time being and it is much easier and faster to use, just not as "clean" I guess.
My Phones:
Motorola MicroTAC Elite
Nokia 7160
Nokia 6340i
Nokia 6230
Nokia 6682
HTC Tilt
HTC Fuse
HTC Tilt2 (custom ROM)
Samsung Captivate (custom ROM,rooted)
Motorola Atrix (rooted)

I'm using "wireless tether for root". How is barnacle compared to that? wpa is the only difference i noticed in their features.

is barnacle on the market?
I don't see it listed on Android market anywhere.

You won't - ATT blocks it. Google search, they have a website to download the .apk. Have to be rooted of course to sideload it.

To get blocked Apps on in market, just turn your phone on without the sim. Download and install all you want without sim.

You do in fact need root access for this program and also if you use MarketAccess you can trick the market into thinking you are on T-Mobile and get Barnacle.

strange..
I rooted and tried it from app brain, but I keep getting the requested item could not be found. Is there another way i need to install it?
thanks

Of course it works, we have been talking about it since the 19th....

Search is your friend!

To get it to work you need root. Also you will need market enabler..which just tricks the market into thinking your phone runs on another service provider..as att blocks alot of apps

That actually works pretty well - though the program used is called MarketEnabler, not MarketAccess

Ahhh, no..... while I can't say I know this for an absolute fact, DG said he's been APN tethering the crap out of his Atrix for the past week and AT&T hasn't "caught on," or nothing. With Barnacle, I'd say it would be even harder to "catch" someone wirelessly tethering - they never caught me or anyone else I know when I was using my Captivate!

I've used barnacle for the last 5 months and no change in my plan.

I have my Atrix rooted and have installed Barnacle but I get "Permission Denied" from Barnacle and then "Stopped Unexpectedly". Then the ATT hot spot validation comes up in the task bar and says account not setup. Any idea what I may have missed here?

In chrome use the addon UA Spoofer and just tether with built in Sprint application, I set the spoof to Safari and all sites look normal and Netflix works as well. you can try Pda Net or Klink Red Edition, they both spoof from the app but you can only try them for a bit then need to pay to own them. I bought Klink when I was on Sprint and used it every day for a year lol, Klink is usb tether only while Pda Net has wifi but you'll have to test it out see if it works for you.

Changing Lock Screen Un-Lock With Foxfi Installed

Does anyone have any idea how I can change the encryption method back to swipe using Foxfi? I've tried all methods in this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743117&page=8 to no avail. When trying those methods and going back into security - encryption, all items except password are greyed out un-available.
I drive a truck with the phone in a cradle and I REALLY need to be able to go back to just swiping the screen to unlock when I am rolling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
VZW Galaxy S5 Retail Edition, rooted w/ SuperSU installed & knox disabled. Running Foxfi for wireless hotspot. Unless there is another way for me to make the hotspot work? Not on an 'everything' plan on old unlimited so I need to hack the hotspot.

Not sure where the problem lies because that method, while a pain in the ass, does work. Another way would be to install one of the ROMs that has the Verizon provisioning turned off, and then you can just use the built in hotspot toggle.

x2, or just install the Xposed framework, and X Tether, and remove FoxFi altogether. I mean, if you're already rooted, there's no real risk to the Xposed and X Tether that I have found. And SWIPE AWAY with it. I have been for a couple months now.

Found another quicker way to do this:
1. Goto google.com/android/devicemanager and locate your phone.
2. Click "Lock" and chose a new number password.
3. Type the new password on your phone and it will unlock.
4. Now it should let your change the lockscreen to anything, and foxfi will continue to work
Still working after restarting phone and using Foxfi

Tethering

Hi,
I was setting up this phone for my brother. Was surprised to see no root, roms, or unlocking as this is a really nice phone for the price.
I'm not a super gung ho android dev, but I have some reverse engineering experience so I'm gonna see if I can make some shellcode run on an apk or library with root perms and get a root shell running. No promises.
Anyway: If you want tethering, the Power Toggles app will turn on the hotspot without checking to see if you have hotspot account permissions on Boost. Set it up in the More Settings part of Android's Settings, it is the built-in Android tethering code.

Hi sorry for my English, can you explain what is the power toogle app is,thanks

You can use Power Toggles, or if hot spot is all you want you can use HotSpot Toggle. You have to add them as widgets.

Way people keep giving a options without testing first that work, the thetering not work on boost mobile

On 305SH, if you setup "Nova" Launcher and you create a shortcut, you select "Activities" and go in the list and select "Settings", and Inside "Thetering & Hotspot" :
You will have a menu to allow you tethering Bluetooth or Wifi.
It works great with 305SH (I tryed bluetooth).

Yes, with some programs tethering is active but teams are not conecting to the internet, is blockage for the operator in the case of 306 is boost mobile or sprint, someone will know how to disable this block

This didn't actually work for me. i had two "Tethering & Hotspot" options within settings but they both came up with the subscribe menu. the power toggles method however, did work.

foxfi works
Paid app called foxfi works for WiFi/USB tethering. Bluetooth tethering untested. Runs around $5 has a trail version with data caps for tethering. PDA net reqired on PC for USB tethering. No root required.
---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------
I use my aquos as a WiFi dongle for my laptop router>(WiFi)>aquos>(USB thether)>PC
I've used it spairingly as a WiFi hotspot so if boost sends you messages quarrying into how your using hotspot and why your not paying for it and any possible consequences that may occur is on you, I'm not responsible.
---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
Would also like to clarify 306sh on boost mobile. Only tested on that network (obviously that model). So results may vary. Just use the Fofxi sprint app, you purchase a key to unlock paid version for regular and sprint I.e. one time buy for both versions on 1 google account=possible no root solution to free hotspot on multiple devices down the road . (I'm assuming it works with sprints but they charge overages so unless your somehow still grandfathered in to an unlimited plan I'd recommend against it) that works with boost, Straighttalk (Walmarts Tracphone plan), and virgin mobile, that I've tested, but is a hit or miss on phone models, so far only phone I've seen it work on KitKat so yay sharp for not caring about blocking app permission to hotspot toggle, don't update you might lose feature from app and have to wait till root.

Another's person can confirm that with boost Mobile and how I can do
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Tried this before I saw this thread. Got the app because I didn't realize it would be such a pain in the ass to access toggles from a phone interface compared to my Nexus 7. Anyway, set it all up, input everything correctly and ... No internet access via the hotspot. Doesn't work.

Is that a free app and does it work after latest update, foxfi (part of pdanet) works as well. My guess is the same reason but is a paid app so this seems much more promising since its free. Someone was saying it wasn't working for them but its worked fine for me, but I have yet to get the new update that came out (only update so far), does yours work after update, if so IMA update and test my luck with foxfi. Either way thanks for the heads up. And yes I was a little shocked at the lack of development for this phone as well, sharps got it on lock down.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.

Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
