Hey guys. I made a mistake, here is what happened. I had ROOTed my phone a while ago and downloaded Barnacle. It was working flawlessly. My phone started acting up so i had thought to exchange the phone for another one, so i unrooted it and removed all the rooted apps i had on it. I didnt exchange the phone because it isnt giving me random reboots and the battery isnt getting really really hot when what i think its charging but it really isnt. I decided to keep it obviously and i just rooted right now. I go to download Barnacle from the market site and i am not allowed to click on my device that i have listed because "this app isnt allowed by my carrier" or something along those lines. Is there a way i can still get this app??
Thanks in advanced
From market, search and install "Market Enabler". Use that to change your market region to Telstra (Australia). Now you can search in market for Barnacle and be able download/install it. After that, revert back to your original market region with market enabler.
Thank you VERY much sir. Worked perfect. So what else can i do with this Market Enabler app?
Glad that it worked
I have no idea what else you can do with it since this was the only reason I used that for myself. Basically if AT&T removes a particular program from their market, you can search for other providers' market with this app and install the program.

Just wanted to throw this out there. With a lot of apps made for rooted phones you can usually download the apk right from their respective websites onto your phone and use the built in file manager to install them. That's how I got Barnacle anyways.

Well, here's the thing. If it's not already listed as a compatible app for your phone than it won't link to the market regardless. It would work just as well to check the website probably once a month for updates, just as you would have to do with the market enabler. But if you use the website, you could get your hands on some beta versions ahead of time.

I used market enabler method because I though it would update automatically, which apparently isn't the case.

Well, I'm not entirely sure if you can just switch providers to enable updates through the market but I would assume it would still need to be done manually.

Anyone using this app got a letter or text from ATT?

Just a heads up, they are giving away a paid app a day for how ever long. Yesterday was Angry Birds Rio and today is World series of poker thats normally $4.99. If you haven't looked into it I'd take a few minutes to check it out, at least while they're giving away paid apps for free.
I've followed some of the mods here with success but have never pushed an apk to the phone. I assume that I would use the adb to push this to the phone, but can someone provide the code/location for this apk? Also, would I need to install the apk once it's pushed or does the push complete the process? Thanks in advance.
^Maybe I missed something, but your post seems completely irrelevant to the thread. Go start your own thread in the correct section, please.
Edit: Realized why you're asking... should still ask somewhere else though. Just get one of the root mods, such as aRoot and then download the apk straight to your phone and install it. That seems easiest to me.
Thanks for the heads up on the free apps... definitely going to have to check that out.
The question was asked because the Amazon app store is considered to come from an unknown source on ATT phones, so it cannot be directly installed but must be pushed to a rooted ATT phone to use.

Caught that right after I posted. Like I said above, you just need to be rooted. No need to push from a computer once you're rooted, you can download it straight from their site to your phone. Just go to the dev section and follow the aRoot procedure and you can do the same.

Curious how that's the lazy way (if you're already rooted)... You literally just download an apk and click "install" without having to connect it to your computer or run an additional program. Not trying to be ridiculously picky here, but I just can't see how anything is easier than just rooting the phone.
Soon you won't have to be rooted to get apps from the Amazon App store...
h**p://appstoreaccess.com/
replace ** with tt of course!
Go to the above link and enter your information to receive e-mail from ATT when the store will be available ot AT&T
I'm rooted and just installed it straight from the phone, free paid apps are cool for sure. Only problem is the email 'receipt' every time you download something, paid or free
For whatever reason the Amazon App store won't directly install on my rooted atrix so thanks for the sideload wonder link, worked like a charm.

Yep, works and even updates itself. Your one-click settings are part of your Amazon account, and need to be set from their website.

Do you have an Android phone that you can install from first? The app was designed with phones in mind, so that might be the issue.

No I sure dont. I think that is part of the problem. Was wondering if there was anyone in the same boat as me that got it to work. The Amazon site gives away freebies all the time so I wanted to take advantage of that.

yes it DOES work on the gtab
but you need to download it on a phone first, and after that you will have to setup your 1click setting and you will be good to go.

Yes the freebies are nice. You might be able to do some hoop-jumping with SIP and all of that crap, but I doubt it.
I have a phone with the Amazon app, so i made a separate Amazon account for my gTab. Helps keep the two separate, as I want different apps on my phone than my gTab.
If you don't have a phone, I believe you can enter an email address and do it that way.
Don't need a phone
I don't have an android phone and have a stock ROM on my gtab. The amazon app store is working great. I don't think it ever asked me to enter a phone number.
I gave it my email, they sent a direct link to the APK, downloaded and installed. Then went in to amazon a/c and turned 1-click ON. That was it. I have installed numerous apps and they work (except 1 or 2 which I guess were meant for a phone).
No phone here either and Amazon market works for me on Vegan.

That's how I did it as well. It asks for a phone number OR an e-mail address. Just provide your gmail address and you'll receive the e-mail on the g-tab (if it's set up as your default account) download the APK, install, and it should work fine.

How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.

I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.

Now, before anyone confuses this with AT&T Smart Wifi on the market, I'm not asking for that (that app is garbage in my opinion.)
Now, to the task at hand...
Stock Samsung ROMs have something called AT&T Hotspot Manager embedded into the Wifi settings, which allow the automatic sign in of AT&T hotspots around the country without opening a browser to sign into the network.
I'm using CM9 nightlies at the moment, and upon installing the hotspot manager is not packaged with the nightlies. Not an issue regarding CM9, but I was wondering is there a download package or zip that I can install via CWM or any other method to regain this automatic sign in capability? I'm at a Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a lot, and found this aspect of the phone to be very useful.
Appreciate the timely replies
I'm curious about this too, I've settled in to AOKP after jumping around on ICS roms for a month or so and I just realized I'm not getting my hotspots anymore
I'll sniff around and edit this if I find anything useful, I'm not sure what exactly the hotspot manager was and why we wouldn't be able to just enter the settings for the hotspot into a standard wifi connection
Edit: So el goog wasn't very helpful, all I was able to find was a few similar posts to this one with no remedy. I went to my Titanium Backup and searched through my backed up apps knowing that the manager had to be in there somewhere because I'd used some of the ROM's based off of the stock i777 and found something called "At&t Hot Spots." I restored it to my current ROM and I'll test it at Mickey D's at lunch.
Don't. It's a terrible app.
Looking over your shoulder...
Well restoring the app seems to have had no effect, it still requires me to log in to the wifi. I'm not sure why everyone says it was a terrible app, before I rooted my battery life was just fine with it running, even if I neglected to turn off wifi

First off, I do agree. But what this thread is concerning is that it's not an app. Rather, it was an embedded feature in the stock ROM of this phone, checked off in the wi-fi settings.
Since it's not an app, one cannot readily download it off the market. So it must be a package. From the results of this thread though, I guess a package like this doesn't exist..?
Here's the file: AT&T Hotspots 0.955
This is extracted from a UCKH1 stock ROM. Hopefully it works for you.

That makes about as much sense as having to type in your WEP password each time you log into your home network. Net battery life would be about equal to not having the app, as it takes screen on time (BIGGER battery suck) to go though all the steps necessary to login without this app.

I had the earlier version installed through my Titanium backups. I installed the one posted on this thread and I saw that the app was upgraded. (Additionally, the at&t hotspots icon vanished from the app drawer, I could see that it was running though).

hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it
because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect
and it was always a system apk as well
let me go check it out though
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.
Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.

I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.
Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox.
Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you

It also skips all the payment info at some places that still charge for WiFi, so long as it's powered by AT&T. I wouldn't mind having this feature back as well, even though I'd rarely ever use it. Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.

I just rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a and was going through the cleanup list when I came across this file. I wasn't sure what this file was for until I read this post. I am cleaning it up but here is a copy - in case you can make use of it.

Good call. He's clearly not as crafty and trustworthy as you, Mr. Replying-to-a-year-old-post. You're really the gold standard in solid membership.
Boom!

Well, Mr. Useless Retort, I was searching for this very apk and was about to download it until I looked at his stats. You see, the fact that a post is a year old doesn't make a lot of difference if it has information you need. You see, Mr Useless, that's why the forum goes back many years.
Note that my reply wasn't intended for him, it was to warn off anybody else who might think about downloading this.
See how that works??
I think you can get this apk from the market, or what I do is google for apks -- especially older ones when the market updates me and the update sucks. I haven't been burned yet.

Googling for the apk is what brought me to this thread. I've never been burned with a download, either, but then I've never downloaded one from somebody with a single post.
