I have a situation in which I would like to completely disable WiFi functionality. In other words, the user should not be able to connect to any network regardless if WiFi is on or off in the Settings. Is this possible by modifying the file system?
It would be nice too, if WiFi could be re-enabled later with adb.
Thanks in advance.
maybe
system\etc\permissions\android.hardware.wifi.xml
<!-- This is the standard feature indicating that the device includes WiFi. -->
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.wifi" />
</permissions>
not tested yet
Can't you simply turn off the Wi-Fi in Setting as in normal case?
Thanks for the replies.
I tried messing with the permission values in the xml but was still able to connect.
@Kermit33 - My situation is that I have kiosk tablets in retail stores and don't want associates to download the OTA for ICS, and want to prevent them from connecting to Wifi at all.
I am currently implementing condi's solution of renaming Automagic.apk to Automagic.apk.bak, but wanted some extra assurance they wouldn't be able to update.
I decided to just configure the tablet for kiosk, and send them out with Settings.apk disabled so they wont be able to add a WiFi network at all.
Thanks.

Look into blocking the tablets via the router's settings. Using each tablet's MAC address, you should be able to block them from connecting to the router. You should also be able to set the router to block access to Sony's info.update.sony.net web site from where all of the OTA updates are downloaded. Blocking access to Sony's web site will keep the tablets from being updated but will still allow access to other Internet web sites.

Thanks Cat, I'll try that out.
Or, using titanium backup, freeze the system update app.
Thanks for the replies guys, so here's an udpate.
I ended up trying a lot of different things but managed to disable wifi with a custom /system/build.prop.
Before:
wifi.interface=wlan0
ro.ethernet.interface=eth0
ro.ethernet.autoEnable=yes
After
wifi.interface=
ro.ethernet.interface=
ro.ethernet.autoEnable=no
Also set
ro.sony.update.server=info.update.sony.net
To
ro.sony.update.server=
Rebooted and within the Wifi settings, it simply states "Error" after trying to connect. Within WiFi settings, the option to add a WiFi network is disabled. See screenshot below.

}
Update:
So this works on rooted ICS as well. All that is really needed for HC and ICS is, in /system/build.prop
Change:
wifi.interface=wlan0
To:
wifi.interface=
From the command line or batch:
Code:
::Remount /system as writable
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system'"
::Search for anyline containing "wifi.interface" and replace entire line with "wifi.interface="
adb shell "su -c 'sed -i 's/.*wifi.interface.*/wifi.interface=/g' /system/build.prop'"
::Optional, remove sony udpate url
adb shell "su -c 'sed -i 's/.*ro.sony.update.server.*/ro.sony.update.server=/g' /system/build.prop'"
Reboot for changes to take effect.

First of all thanks to all which are posting specially to Sauron!
If you want to make your Drone working with Archos, here is what I did:
Get root access:
1) Install SDE
2) Get the initramfs from this post (download the kernel+init.zip and extract it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9948644&postcount=1
3) Replace the zImage with the new overclocked kernel
4) Boot into SDE recovery menu and copy the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage through USB cable
5) Boot into SDE developer OS
6) You should get all your apps here and have superuser right now
Suddenly no wpa_supplicant was not working on mine, so you have to change configuration file wpa_supplicant.conf to get Adhoc:
1) get Rootexplorer
2) open root explorer and find /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Here is mine (second network is my normal router):
update_config=0
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="ardrone_108549"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="BytecekG"
psk="PASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=1
}
4) overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf in Archos with new content
5) change rights to wpa_supplicant.conf to RW-RW-RW-
6) delete file tiwlan.ini
7) start drone and then wifi on Archos
When you restart you should repeat step 5 and step 6 and step 7.
GOOD LUCK, IT WAS HORROR TO GET THIS WORKING
Two programs for Ar drone:
http://www.rafoid.com/2010/12/ardroid-2/?lang=en - nice but I have problems with connection link
http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html not nice but more working
Thank you very much for sharing. But this method still not work with Ad-Hoc from MyWi app on iPhone.
It works...kind of. I get connected and occasionally will download. but I have to keep refreshing till it finally works. I would say it was my phone -- Mortorola Droid 1 -- but my daughter Ipod touch word seamlessly.
Its working only for a few seconds for me
I am able to connect to adhoc wifi network ('wireless tether for root' application on my android phone), but i am able to surf only for a few seconds. After that, connection is dying I dont know why. I think its related with the absence of tiwlan file.

same to u, now i can connect for a few second using barnacle in x10. thanks
When i am using my backflip (custom rom - netfiler enabled) and 'barnacle' or 'wireless tether for root' the connection is dying after a few seconds. But when i am using wmwifirouter with my HTC TILT 2 (Touch Pro 2) - WM 6.5, i dont have any problems at all. The connection is working really good.
Strange ...
For step 5 and 6, I think we can edit init.rc script to do it automaticaly ?
I don't see why MyWi is so popular since TetherMe has been released. Best $2 I ever spent and works fantastically with my A101 via Bluetooth tether (unfortunately Archos doesn't have the drivers for the USB). Setup couldn't be simpler.

What channel did you set your mywi to? I tried your method but it didnt' work.
barely works
I've done this a couple if times and it is very tedious and the connection sucks. Its not wroth it IMO and luckily I made copies of my files before I edited or deleted them BC my normal wireless wouldn't work unless I went through the last steps again. In settings - wireless would just say "error". Don't try this IMHO!

For me, I have a Samsung Fascinate. When I use wireless tether bluetooh, i get an error my phone saying it is in an unknown state reboot, i reboot and get the same error....everytime....so bluetooth tether is not an option for everyone....

Bluetooth. Tetheing with my iphone 3gs is quite stable even when iphone display is off. I think bluetooth tethering also consumes less power.

YES !
Thanks to you and by using these instructions, I was finally able to tether my Archos 101 with my Sony X10a Android phone running on version 2.1. I tried everything I could to try tethering these 2 either with Bluetooth or via Wifi. This modification to the wpa_supplicant file and deleting the tiwlan.ini file has made adhoc tethering working with Barnacle on the X10. I can't thank you enough !
i've just found an option for ad-hoc mode in tiwlan.ini, which by default is disabled:
WiFiAdhoc = 0
anyone tried to set it to 1 and this way the step 6 could be skipped
moreover that after restart it always restores deleted tiwlan.ini, and you should delete again
So I recently did 2 things on my Archos 32:
1) Installed the Android Market (link)
2) Did a permanent root on 2.3.26 (link)
Both worked great
My new query:
So Google Voice is missing in the Android Market for me, even when I get the link from Google: There are no matches in the Android Market for the search: pname:com.google.android.apps.googlevoice I'm pretty sure some other apps are missing as well (even after applying the fix in the link)
Is there any way (rooted options included) to get these missing apps in the Android Market? I've read some stuff about a market footprint
Any info would be helpful; thanks!
Take a look at the following thread.
Anyone have a Froyo Archos with full Market Protected App access
The market footprint you're referring to is in post 3. You have to edit the build.prop file and insert the described "footprint" so that the Market thinks your Archos is actually a Galaxy Tab. Word of warning though - even with this, I still couldn't see all apps in the Market. Plus, there have been reports that the Market fix doesn't work as well with the newer 2.3.26 firmware..

Thanks! Looks like I'll need to look at build.prop then.
I also tried MarketEnabler but it didn't seem to do anything on my Archos... maybe I was doing something wrong.
I tried going the SDK route to edit build.prop, but I couldn't get it setup; I might try it in Linux (x64) a little later; Windows 7 (x64) didn't get my anywhere
Thanks for the reply! I'll look into it

Even if you get Google Voice installed, it won't get past the "Change call settings". Or that is what I found. Anyway, over in the Xoom forum they have an edited Voice apk you can install and I am using it.

I've been able to do all of it, I just need help copying build.prop back over to my system directory. Here's my post from androidforums:
Step 4: Remount your phone's /system directory
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
This temporarily removes the restrictions on /system
Step 5: Overwrite build.prop
With adb shell open, type:
Code:

You aren't rooting correctly. After you type su and hit enter, the Archos should bring up a Super User request that you have to accept. Once you have rooted correctly, the cursor block will change from $ to #.
Hi everyone,
Long story short I live in Kuwait, I am subscribed to ZAIN Kuwait and I can't find any solution that makes me use my Internet on the phone !!!
I tried all the settings possible that used with multiple android phones before, I even changed my sim card, setup different APNs and nothing, I can't Access the Internet or use MMS!!! The only thing that worked is my friend's wataneya line, I tried his sim card and the Internet is perfect
I don't want to changeu operator an I really don't wanna change the Atrix
Did any one else had a problem with the Internet access out of the USA ? Is there some special settings I have to do ?
Thanks in advance
Hey there im from the uk and flashed my handset with gingerblur was having same problems as you after entering custom apns for my network

The following are some potential issues that may be encountered while attempting to upgrade. Please note that these issues may be seen if any of the key requirements outlined in Step 1 were not followed.
MUST READ BEFORE PROCEEDING:
Step 1 - Requirements needed to ensure a successful upgrade:
A fully charged Motorola ATRIX 4G™ with an active SIM card
A Micro SD card installed in your phone with approximately 20 MB of free space.
Your phone is on the latest Android 2.2 software Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US or Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US
To ensure optimal performance after the upgrade, the phone software must not have been modified in any way.
Changing the user name and password actually worked for me
Thanks Alot man
I had the same problem when trying to use the phone in Japan with Softbank. Took some time to get to this thread.
What did you guys use to edit the file? I used ES File Explorer, didn't work until I did a chmod 777 to the "pppd-ril.options" file via adb.
I have same problem and I 'm trying to edit "pppd-ril.options" file on my rooted Motorola Atrix mobile and I'm not able to edit b'coz its in readonly mode and even tried to change permission of the file but got below error message.
/system/etc/ppp/peers # chmod 777 pppd-ril.options
chmod: pppd-ril.options: Read-only file system
I even tried using ES File Explorer to change permission but no success.
> AWD_Maniac can you please tell me how did u used adb shell, b'coz i tried it too but not able to change permission.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL "FOUNDER" OF THIS METHOD AND ALL CREDITS GO TO THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR HELPING ME OUT!
Many people including myself has found their phones having issues with gaining full network access to whatever router they try to connect to after the latest 2.3.3 update. After some fierce searching on XDA Forums and Facebook I found a very noobish/easy yet helpful workaround. To be able to connect to your home router you will need to use the good old fashioned Static IP sollution.
For you who are new to this here are the following steps of the entire procedure:
STEP 1:
On your phone, go to the "Wi-Fi settings" section and choose advanced options which will allow you to check the "use static IP box"
STEP 2:
Under the checked box there are now several boxes available where we will put some numbers (boxes are: IP adress, Gateway, Subnet mask, DNS1 and DNS2)
To find this info you will need to open CMD on your PC (search CMD and it will pop up) and type in the following: ipconfig /all
STEP 3:
By now you will have a long list of different information, however there is a section named "Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection" under which all the information we actually need is located. To make matters easier I have included a partial screen shot pointing out the info needed:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Type the information you see into the appropriate sections in the phone except for the IP adress wich you will need to change the last digit of in order to prevent an IP conflict between the PC and the phone. (the last digit should not be used by any other device on the network so any unused number should work)
IMPORTANT
With static IP enabled you will only be able to connect to your home network and not to any network outside your home, but then again any connection is better than no connection at all. Just remember that this is a temporary solution until SE fixes the problem.
DNS1 and DNS2 are the same?
I tried this yesterday, yes phone will connect to wifi, but will not download anything. update now working Did like you said changed IP last number
Hey guys,
my wifi is giving me some trouble... i cant find my router with the phone. Already tried blade wifi fix and some other stuff but it just cant find it. Other devices can find it and connect without a problem.
The x10 just cant find it. Anyone encountered this problem and managed to find a work around?
I dont think the "static ip" will work in my case, cause i cant even find the router to connect to.
I'm on WB latest rom, with Speed&Fix005 installed.
Cheers

No, the DNS 1 and 2 are not the same. The last two digits are different if you look at the numbers according to the instructions
What do I do if I use 2 different wifi spots. One for home and one for work.
This will only make it work at home.
Cant believe that Sony Ericsson released a firmware where the wifi dont work
Any news about Sony want to fix the problem ?
If you want to use the phone in several Wi-Fi networks you will have to enter the information of that specific network just as the instructions shows. Sadly, for us suffering from this problem Sony Ericsson still havent responded to this issue that also exist in the ARC. It is also a fact that ARC users have been complaining for months without proper response.
Is there any other rom that fix the problem ?
I would like to use the original firmware. But if a custom firmware dont have the problem I would happily use that.

Another quick work round which maintains flexibility I find is to download and install an app called 'wifi static'.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with the Ad-hoc internet sharing from my laptop to my Galaxy S3. It seems to be a problem with the S3 (rooted, but still on stock firmware) since the Ad-hoc method worked just fine with my old Galaxy S on CM9.
What's even funnier is that the S3 doesn't even detect the Ad-hoc Wifi Network... Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Try to add the Network manually and input the SSID (Network Name) and Security type and password.
Some android device may have a trouble when adhoc from notebook. The default ROM usually have this kind of problem.
How to Fix wifi Adhoc Problem;
1 Download wpa_suppliacant (delete .txt extansion)
2 Open ES Explorer / Root Explorer
3 Go to /system/bin/
4 Rename wpa_supplicant to wpa_supplicant_backup (just for backup)
5 Copy the wpa_supplicant file that you got from download to /system/bin/

A lot of people have come up with the same idea, none successful to date.
Use the free program 'Connectify' on your computer, the networks it creates are "real" infrastructure AP and as such can be used by the S3.
Android doesn't support this out of the box, u need to apply patches to enable it to work...

Hi guys,
I have a problem with the Ad-hoc internet sharing from my laptop to my Galaxy S3. It seems to be a problem with the S3 (rooted, but still on stock firmware) since the Ad-hoc method worked just fine with my old Galaxy S on CM9.
What's even funnier is that the S3 doesn't even detect the Ad-hoc Wifi Network... Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
