Changing Lock Screen Un-Lock With Foxfi Installed - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

HOW To WiFi Tether Stock Rooted Moto X 4.2/4.4

Updated 10/15
This version allows users to successfully change the SSID and add a passphrase. Compliments to "Italianguy"
http://socal.hanhuy.com/~pfnguyen/wifi-tether-gnex-4.2.2.apk
Download WiFi Tether for Root Users.
Go into Settings and make the following changes.
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
That's it. Go back and push to start tethering.
Note: this is only valuable to users with unlimited DATA if you have a certain amount of DATA then watch your usage and you should also be able to use native (Verizon) tethering.
Cheers!

That's it. Go back and push to start tethering. It will show up but I can't figure out how to change the SSID (Name) of WiFi Network and set up a Passphrase (password) in settings. For now it shows up as wlan0 and you can connect to it. If anyone can figure out how to make a password please post it.

Some carriers block and also depends on what plan you have... Verizon share plan has anything over 4 gig share you get free hotspot.
Any Idea why downloads are slow but uploads are blazing fast? Full signal. Speedtest on the phone is smoking but on the tablet is .55 mbs dl.

I don't think that was what he was replying to. It obviously allows you to specifically grant access to the devices that should be getting it and not allow access to anyone that can see the SSID. Towards the bottom of the first post, it was asked if anyone knew how to create a password, to please post it. I'm pretty sure that is all he was responding to.
Prior to the Moto X, I had a Gnex, so I haven't used this app in quite some time, but when I did use it, the encryption was WEP and did funny things. Access control is just fine for me, and I'm not sure why anyone would care THAT much about SSID.
Its the SSID and the password that can't be changed. I could see why someone would want to have a password on their network. Mac address control is not very secure at all.

I followed the instructions but when I try to connect my ipad to my phone it tells me "unable to join the network". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Played around with settings and this is what I did:
Device profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Set up Method: Auto
Wifi driver reload AND wifi driver reload 2: checked
Enable access control: check
Keep alive connection: check
Make sure MSS clamping and Routing fix are both checked. Now it runs buttery smooth and speeds are great!
This is one of the only reasons I root, I don't do roms just strictly tethering. Hope this helps someone that was in my situation as well.

It's secure enough for this purpose. Yes, they can be spoofed, and yes MAC's can be sniffed out from simple packet watching, however, an attacker would need knowledge of this to even try it, as well as the hotspot would need to be up long enough to care.
I would definitely *prefer* the ability to change SSID and password, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

Foxfi won't work after taking update??!!!

Has anyone who is NOT rooted taken the latest update, and gotten Foxfi working again?? If so please tell me how?? I NEED my hotspot back!!! And I can't even root my Note 3 if I wanted to cause I have no Windows computer.

Scratch this! Foxfi is still working!!!! I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now its working. Only thing is you have to keep it to allow all devices. If u switch to try n use allowed devices only, it will stop working.

Doesn't Foxfi show Verizons warning that you are about to use a mobile hotspot anyway? I tried a while back and that's what it did so I'm not sure I understand the point of Foxfi

It did take a little fiddling for me to get it to work. I installed and uninstalled a few times. I had to let Foxfi set up the VPN as well. Which you will get a pop up for when u first open the app.

You're right it does give that warning but it used to be when the warning popped up instead of hitting cancel you would just push your home button and wa la it worked! But now you get a pop up from foxfi asking to let them install a VPN and if u do this it will work again. And if by some chance u get the Verizon pop up again just hit home, not cancel.

Foxfi is an amazing app! It has totally saved me. I had a rooted note 2 that I used my hotspot on to give WiFi to my Nexus 7 that's installed in my car dash so that way I could use maps, music, etc. When getting the note 3 with Verizon, knowing it would be locked down, my biggest concern was losing my hotspot cause I need it for the car. And yes one can just root their N3 to get around this but if you're me, well then you have no windows PC computer therefore cannot root! Not this phone anyway. So Foxfi allowed me to keep my hotspot even without having root and for me anyway, that's the point of Foxfi! And that's why its so useful.

Nope. Not for me. I let it set up the VPN. Tried with and without the nolockscreen hash code. Not toggling the hotspot on. When i try manually, it just turns back off. Are you all verifying that you can still tether? Are there any settings in the Mobile Hotspot configuation you changed?
UPDATE: Got it working. I had installed the VPN certificate "for wifi" instead of "VPN and apps". I removed the certificate and started up FoxFi, this time leaving it with the default "VPN and apps" on the certificate installation. All is well now. Thanks!
I downloaded it again but see no option to download a certificate, am I missing something?

Curious you running the latest firmware? If your not, obviously do not accept it.
Also are you on "shared everything" plan? This makes a difference as that "shared everything" plans apparently have the hotspot free, but if your on a normal/unlimited plan, then its not free..
I ask because I'm on the latest firmware, with FoxFi/PdaNet and it does not work for me.

Yes, I took the latest update, which got me into this mess. I was running it without issue before this. I am still on grandfathered unlimited, which is why FoxFi is necessary for me. Just happy I got it back to working, albeit now with a necessary pattern lock, but a happy sacrifice to keep tethering.

I had to first clear the old one: Settings - General - Security - Trusted Credentials - User - FoxFi - (scroll down) Remove
Then when I opened FoxFi again it asked to install the certificate.

Hello,
I seem to not be able to get FoxFi to work, I know this is redundant but can you confirm the following steps:
uninstall foxfi
uninstall foxfi key
remove certificate from the settings->security panel
reboot phone
install foxfi
install certificate with default vpn parameters
turn on foxfi wifi
when verizon dialog box pops up hit the home button
I've tried that 3-4 times and it doesn't seem to work. Previous to the OTA update there would be a red icon showing in the top left of the screen when the hotspot was enabled, that no longer shows up, just the foxfi icon saying wifi is available. I am unable to logon to the hotspot wifi though.
Thanks

Got the s5 today, few questions

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

The reactivation lock if on. Won't let anything to be flashed via Odin or anything else in download mode, not even samsung service center people could do it (so samsung strictly asks you to disable the lock if you are giving it for repair to them). Now in case you have it on and somehow end up softbricking your phone there won't be any way to fix it. That's why this tutorial could be a lifesaver for those facing such problems

But how far as I understand lock is in off position by default from factory, shop etc? And what's the point at all to put on or at all to make that future if even Samsung recommend to leave in off position.

Yes it's off by default. Some people turn it on so in case of theft or loss of mobile the other person won't be able to write new rom over it or anything like that. Reactivation lock + fingerprint screen lock make a formidable combination for those wanting protection of data against theft or loss.

Hotspot hack

Is there a hotspot hack for the 10 yet?
Check out bad boys rom

I'm looking for a stock Rom with hotspot unlocked or a tether app that works. Ideas?

I could put something together if u want to test, this would be a flashable add-on after flashing one of the stock rooted already posted...

I'd be interested in a hotspot flashable add-on as well. At least until GPS is up and running on BB rom. Thanks OMJ

Appreciate the work OMJ. I never installed the hotspot hack because I went straight to your badboyz rom instead.
so 10 peole that downloaded, did it work? lol geez thanks OMJ for those who didnt tell you
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.

Could you post directions for this.
This may be what he is talking about. Used it also on my LG G2.
Have not tested on HTC 10 though.

Good work. That is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you. I hadn't seen the request. I have no idea if it would work on HTC 10. But, it doesn't seem like a huge stretch that it would.

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?
Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.

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.

It didn't give me the option to uninstall, just disable. I did that and tweaked with a few more things and that seemed to fix it. Fingers crossed!

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).

The apns have to be modified, we used to edit the database manually, but now edit in framework-res, I'll post a zip later.
