[Q] Tether Issue (With Modded Hotspot APK) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I attempted my due diligence and couldn't find a fix browsing the forums.
I have the Verizon LG G2 (VS98012B). I'm rooted.
I downloaded and replaced the stock .apk and .odex from system/apps based on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
I set the permissions as instructed.
When I attempt to turn on the mobile hotspot I get the following error: "Unfotunatey, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped".
There were a few posts scattered here and there about a similar issue but I was unable to find a resolution.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
DL

I have still attempted to resolve the issue without much luck. Hoping to see if my question could get another look.
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Amazon mp3 apk

Does anyone have the stock amazon mp3 apk for the Epic 4G? i am unable to update without it. I keep getting errors. thank you
From the Epic 4G dump found here.
I am having the same issue with the update as Amazon MP3 is the only program I removed that appears to be bloatware from Sprint... I installed the APK in this thread and still get the validation error when trying to update... is there anything I need to do with this file in particular to fix this issue? Any advice from an expert would be greatly appreciated... Thx

[Q] Mynet.apk problems

*Update*
n00b 1 - mynet.apk 0
Maybe I can help some other folks with what I have found out today.
The problem I was running into is that I was downloading the wrong mynet.apk from chadhaney.com
I was needing the .516 files not the .604 files that are listed on that page. Go to the top left of the page and look for the "Get 1.113.516 default files here"
Give it a try and maybe it will fix your 3G Mobile Hotspot problem too.
Hello all.
I am a total n00b to this whole rooting deal. I had been waiting for an extremely easy way to root. I found z4root for download on the market and boom I was rooted. So I immediately went to removing crapware. THEN I decided to do some reading after I removed the stuff and decided to reinstall and rename.
I had zero trouble with anything except mynet.apk.
I have downloaded it from a couple of different places, no dice.
So I am hoping that someone would be nice and kind enough to help a dumbazz noob out with a complete walk-thru of how to reinstall this to my phone, I will beg if that is what it takes.
Thanks,
Brent

just put it in the system/app folder. use Root Explorer app to make sure the permissions are the same as your other apk's. then reboot phone.
here a link to the stock droid x apk's http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/
I still have yet to try to fix this problem past what I first tried.
My question now is what makes mynet.apk any different than the blockbuster.apk? Why the permissions need to be changed for this and none of the others.

you might not need to. i just mentioned it to make sure.
With the other apk's I just put them on my sdcard and used astro and it very simply installed with no trouble. Mynet.apk goes thru the same process but ends with it saying ''application not installed''
Ok I broke down and bought root explorer. I placed the apk in the system/app folder and changed the permissions to match up exactly with the other apk's.
But I still can not get this to install. What to try next?

[Q] I cannot find my Mobile Hotspot icon anymore (VS980 24A KK)

I updated to KK yesterday, kept the root and everything, but when I downloaded (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338) and and inserted the Hotspotprovisions and removed the odex files from the system/app/, the Mobile Hotspot app dissapeared and I can no longer start up the app. I looked into titanium backup and it wasn't listed anywhere there, its as if the app is just gone without the trace, even though in the system/app/ folder I moved all the original files back into the place!
Please help
Unfortunately, I've been looking for a solution to this as well.
Same scenario: backed up/renamed original APK/Odex files and replaced with the single APK. The Mobile Hotspot app no longer appears in my application list. Looking in Settings/Application Manager/All also produces no listings for the Hotspot app or provisioning.
I found the original APK's and placed them in system/app, but still have not been able to restore even the original VZW tethering functionality.
Any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I don't know what to do to fix this problem but here are the original 24a files for the provision apk and odex. Hopefully they help:

G2 D800 Lollipop Tethering

So just recently had to go back to stock to upgrade up to Lollipop. Everything went great. Getting everything setup and tried to go through the steps to turn the tethering check. Getting a error SQL Editor saying the database is locked. Have tried several root browsers and nothing can open the databases to be able to edit them. Have used One Click Root and successfully rooted it. Any ideas as how i can get into the database to be able to turn off the tethering check. Have also tried pdanet and it also will not work due to the tethering check. Any ideas i will be willing to try. Thanks
Attached is a picture of the error when I try to edit the database

No Internet connection possible (Wifi or mobile) after the deinstallation of AdAway

Hello XDA Assist Team,
A few days ago I installed AdAway (via F-Droid) to increase mobile surfing speed. Now I got the problem that while using Wifi, suddenly every app had a 10-15 seconds delay before actually starting to download/ starting to load the web page etc. Once "getting a firm grip" on the connection, the download speed was fine as usual (120 mbit/s). This problem did occur on every app while using wifi, but not while using mobile internet.
So I uninstalled AdAway. Now no application can access the internet. Regardless of wifi or mobile internet, no application managed to access the internet since the deinstallation.
The only host files in the /etc/host folder seems to be the localhost on "127.0.0.1" and another localhost with "::1" . At least that's what the Hosts Editor app said. I installed it via USB to check on the host file.
My system:
Oneplus Two, Oxygen OS 3 (Android 6.0.1), rooted
installed were AFWall+ and Xprivacy. I deactivated, then deinstalled them to make sure they won't interfere. The only other App I installed recently is Cerberus. Except for devouring my battery alive, it did not have any negative effects I could observe.
I tried searching the Unofficial AdAway Thread, but I was discouraged by the 600+ pages. I tried, but didn't didn't find anything useful. I posted my question there as well, but got no reply.
I don't have many skills regarding Android. I installed the OS, xposed framework etc. by closely following the instructions given here on XDA. I have a basic understanding on how to use all these applications but I don't know much about what happens behind the UI. I would really appreciate if you could help me out here and point me in the right direction, prefereably without having to nuke my OS. My last Nandroid backup is about 2 months old, unfortunately.
With kind regards,
Fennec
Edit: My progress:
1. I found a tutorial of how to find and delete the hosts file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717261) . It was stated that android would rebuild the missing file on reboot. That was not the case. Now in /system/etc there is no "hosts" file and my Internet still does not work. Hope that helps. I tried googling to find an untouched hosts file that I could copy into the folder, was not lucky yet.
2. Found a hosts file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/hosts-file-missing-to-t2276818 . Copied it into the folder. Did not work. Help.
Please help me out.
Solved!
Writing down the facts I realized that I haven't tried disabling cerberus yet. I don't know why uninstalling adaway triggered the internet problem but Cerberus seems to have been the cause. It ran for 2 weeks without problem. Now my internet is free again. Either the deinstallation triggered the problem or it was a very nasty coincidence, coinciding with cerberus making trouble. Or maybe cerberus didn't like the system files being tinkered with and decided to lock a potential remote attacker out.
