The Tether Hack and Tether hack with WiFi notification should work on stock rooted and stock de-odex I545VRUAMDK based ROMS.
If your rocking a custom ROM check with your ROM dev for changes to framework-res.apk BEFORE flashing this.
The other two mods, Remove E911 Icons, and disable Ongoing WiFi Noticiation NEED a de-odex ROM.
The orginal "Tether Hack doesnt always kill the WiFi Notification so I rebuilt the mods using a different method.
EDIT: One of the mods were removed because it caused GPS Issues.
Mods / Features
Tether Hack.zip
Adds Free tether for everyone
Removes ongoing WiFi Notification in status bar
Thanks to shoman94 for his help re-compiling framework-res. He has a good tut HERE!
Tether Hack - With WiFi Notification.zip
Adds free tether for everyone.
Keeps WiFi notification in the status bar
Remove E911 Icon.zip
Removed that hideous GPS icon in the status bar
Must be de-odex!

You can use this Mod in your ROM or however you see fit just give credit please.
Thanks!

Dont mean to sound like a noob....but do u wipe cache and dalvik after flashing right?

I am curious how you got this to complie and run. I tried removing com.samsung.sgp and the line below it from my framework-res. I even added the + to the different files that needed it. When I would recompile my phone would just sit at the verizon logo.
Did you do anything else besides adding the + to the layout lines?

Nice job! I see it removes the Wifi notification, does it add a toggle for the wifi with all the other toggles?

After posting the exact same question in the Q&A thread, I found it was because I needed to clear the cache/dalvik cache (maybe one or the other, but I did both).
I was able to successfully boot after doing so.

Compression has to be set to "None" on Samsung framework-res.apk
Thanks for posting this, both of the mods work great.
Just a quick question. With regards to the Tether Hack, how does this compare to apps like pdanet which bypass the subscription check but still seem to use the stock Wifi Hotspot? I don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes with these other apps, if they do anything other than bypass the check. As an unlimited data user, is it "safer" to use pdanet or the other apps, or are you really just doing the same thing they provide without the need for another app?
Thanks again.
i already am using the widget to bypass the subscription check, just curious exactly what this tether hack does. also does it allow for USB tethering as well
nice mod!

I never used one of those apps so I cant honestly tell you what they do. However I can tell you what this one does...
It bypasses the Samsung tether check and just turns it on.
I have used this mod for quite some time and never had any one complain about being busted by Big Red... However AT&T and this mod will get you busted if you use it excessively.

It hacks the tether feature samsung put in the ROM to call upon another app to verify the subscription.
So instead of
1. Tether app start
2. Call App to check subscription
3. Return results to tether app
4. Tether... Or not Tether...
It goes...
1. Start tether app
4. Tether.
Steps 2 and 3 are removed from the framework of the ROM
Yes on USB and if I wasnt so damned lazy I could even do Bluetooth... But this is good enough for 99.99% of the people. Who the hell uses Bluetooth anyways... Damn kids and there fads :angel:

These apps are using something momentary (IE: The hack has to happen every time you push the *Big Friendly Button*) to bypass the check; I'm not sure what and I haven't had the opportunity/need to go digging into the how. I use Widgetsoid and it does the same thing.
This hack is permanent; it happens when you flash and doesn't require anything afterward. It allows you to use the included app on the phone without having to download any free apps that might have limits or ads and there's no paid version (FoxFi, for example). It means there are less "moving parts" involved, and theoretically, there are fewer things that could go wrong.
As for is one "safer" than the other...I'll assume you mean any less likely to get you in trouble...and the answer is no. They're achieving the same thing through different methods; one's just a bit "cleaner" than the others.
EDIT: Didn't see Scott's post...damn pages. Still relevant, I think.

It will work fine. We used the exact same method to override the WiFi notification.
However after further testing... If you download something it will come back.
At least it did for me
Then again my phone is in a constant state of flux so... I may not even have the mod installed, lol
Is it possible to implent the smart stay notification removal hack. Currently, I have to choose between the RWC95 hack (ongoing wifi and smart stay) and yours. I'm having issues running the two hacks together as it seems some stuff cancels one another out. Could you possibly help and talk with him (RWC95) about merging your two hacks together? That'd be great
when you say this works on stock rooted i assume you mean it can work on odex roms right?

Right this is just a resource hack. Framework-res does not have any smali code and subsequently no dex or odex files.
Which app are you using to tether?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for developing the Clean Rom!
I've used your clean rom on the S3 and the S4 and I must admit it's some good stuff you've developed. :laugh:
I've installed this tether hack but after reading this thread, I'm not clear on what app you are using to tether?
Is it the mobile hotspot app from the Big Red?
Or does Samsung have their own separate tethering app?
I know it's a newbie question, but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Where is the tether app icon? I can't find it anywhere...
Is this the TrevE tether?
What exactly does this do since we already have a hot spot with this phone?
Also, when flashing do the cache's need to be wiped?

Hey Guys, just after the release of my old ROM, this is a new ROM which is based on Froyo(2.2). I used the Cyanogenmod rom as base and i havent changed a lots except for some minor changes and few additions. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Stock Android UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
As Stable as CM
New Boot Animation
Froyo (2.2.1)
myTouch Music
New Android Market (Check Screenshots)
New Gingerbread Stock Keyboard (Check Screenshot)
Both Launcher Pro And Stock Launcher Included
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
Torchlight From CM
FileManager From cm (Get something from market if you need, that filemanager really bugged me so decided to remove, try ES File Manager, it rocks)
CM Boot Animation
Some other crapware
As this mod is derived from CM, most of the things (I think all) work properly, including wifi, bluetooth and everything else. If anyone finds any bugs or something wrong with the rom, please post it below.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
This rom asks you which launcher to use in the first boot, check the "Make Default" button and select the launcher of your choice, either launcherpro or default stock froyo launcher. I recomment launcherpro as it is really smooth and has no lags at all (i am using the same). And BTW, if you plan on using stock launcher and no longer want launcherpro on ur system, simply go to manage apps in settings and remove launcherpro as usual (yes, you can remove it). I havent dared to remove the awesome cyanogenmod settings menu because of its cool features and lots of additional functionalities. And the cyanogenmod wallpapers are intact as well.
How to make it look like the one in screenshot
==============================
First choose launcherpro at first boot and make it default.
then go to launcherpro settings (press menu on launcher and choose preferences) and appearance and change the dock's look to froyo wide
Then go back to launcher and long press the screen, and choose wallpaper, and go to cyanogenmod wallpapers and choose the wallpaper as shown in the screenshot.
Then arrange the icons in the same way and you are ready to go.
Enjoy Gingerbread Keyboard And The New Android Market With Lots Of Improvements.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
Update 12/20/2010: New Update Coming Very Soon! With WiFi And Tethering Working + More Features And More Stuff
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with this rom and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
P.S. I can live without negative feedback. (<--Copied it from someone )
can i use headset control on this rom????????????????
OMG, i love this.
but the removal of some apps doesn't appeal to me.
Like file manager, Rom Manager, And the ability to wifi tether is gone.
I was able to wifi tether in the latest versions of CM, but it totally rids it of it in this rom.
Either than that, awesome rom.
Love the boot animation, keyboard, launcher. Keep up the good work. Hope to see more ROMs from you soon!

Wifi works - try reflashing it. Did you do a factory reset before flashing this rom? At minimum, clear your cache.
Using the headphones that came with this phone only works on the stock rom since it was a proprietary thing T Mobile did - why do people keep nagging about this issue?
Wifi tether isn't built into a rom. It a function but must be accesed by an .apk file. Download the latest wifi tether apk (2.0.5 rc1) and install it. BAM! wifi tethering in the palm of your hand.
"reflashing" it's you mean up again?? i wipe my device already. clear all data before up this rom but it's still not work

There's a good Tethering apk in this forum somewhere. You might need to go back a few pages, but you'll find it. :]
ALSO, yo OP, could you please push the Torchlight back onto the ROM in a future release? Torch is always fantastic...
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
Any app with "AT&T" in the title is ****.

I'll agree that most of their software is absolutely worthless trash, but this one in particular I really thought was handy... All it did was automatically log into AT&T hotspots when you were in range

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.

Thanks, unfortunately this is the same one I have in my TB from the stock rom and it doesn't seem to have any effect on ics (I did convert it to a system app). I think I'll try installing the "leaked" ics stock rom and try taking it from there to see if its a newer version.

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).
However, it doesn't seem to connect automagically to attwifi. Any clues?

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that FoxFi doesn't seem to work on a stock DNA. I installed the latest version of FoxFi as well as the add-on, but when activated I get a message saying that I need to have a tethering plan, and to call 611 to set it up.
Also, FoxFi isn't 100% free anymore, it has a usage limit before you need to close and restart it. The full app costs $6.97.
Hopefully once we get root we can get a root-based wireless tethering app to work.

I recommend that everyone use koush's wifiAP app available through rom mamager. ROOT IS NOT NEEDED and it is much more stable and universally friendly than any other I have found to date. I will give it a go when get the device and let you know the results. Headed home after work and it should be waiting for me!!!

Quick USB Tether works on Jelly Bean for the usb tether part on different hardware (and it's free!).
For wifi, you'll need root and sqllite for potentially an "entitlement" hack. All speculation since I don't have this phone, but the common denominator is Jelly Bean.
BTW OP, Foxfi says that their stuff doesn't work in Jelly Bean right in the description!
Yeah, but I know people were going to ask so I wanted to let everyone know.

On the DNA? How did you get it to work? Are you using the latest version from the Play Store?

It just worked. I'm guessing you're on a Verizon unlimited plan and that is why it is nagging you.
yall do realize that unless you are an unlimited plan you can just use verizons hotspot app
So you have tethering included? Why not just use the stock hot spot app then? This is for people that don't have a tethering plan.

I'd gone through the same thing, so usedto my tbolt needing a outside app.
I installed foxfi (and addon) and it worked ok, but I'm on a ShareEverything plan (it works for me and saved me $40/mo)
I called vZ and confirmed I'd not need this any longer and could use the stock app to any device, but data is accumulative
I suspect there maybe some vpn and other features some 3rd party tethering apps might allow that would be useful for some.
Let's clarify:
Unlimited data: won't work, possibly with entitlement database hack and root
Shared data: It should work stock (not foxfi).
Jelly Bean is a little different than ICS. Foxfi's description even says it won't work under Jelly Bean.
If you download the update from the computer using the Verizon update help app you will get the WiFi toggle if you used kies to download the update you won't have WiFi its that simple their two different updates or u can just wait like me who just got a notification right now at 3:20 about the update ota and its its only 15mins not an hour and 30mins like you all over the PC

Seee that's in my phone section I made the update wait I'm not ready to install it yet..

I used Kies to do my update and ended up with no WiFi toggle.
My son took the update OTA and ... ended up with no WiFi toggle.
My phone would hang on the Verizon splash screen when trying to reboot. Tech support had me clear the cache but that would only work for that boot - it would still hang if I tried to boot without clearing the cache.
I decided to do a reset and now everything runs much better, boots fast like it did originally, and I now have the WiFi toggle.
Son is putting off the inevitable reset but the writing is on the wall, he's going to have to do it.
My take from the forums I've read is that you have to do a reset if you don't get the WiFi toggle after taking the update (regardless of the update method: OTA, Kies, Verizon updater).
If the wifi toggle does not show up after the update, do a reset. It will be there after you do!
What is the significance of the toggle that would justify the time of starting from scratch? The function is available with an app to toggle. I use Quick Settings since can not bother putting 260 apps back on the device and setting all my apps up again. Bleh to that.

I agree.. though...
I reset my device and the wifi toggle is there.
I fell like this is just another example of Verizon's "Overlord" mentality. Now I have a wifi toggle and right below the toggle I have an ongoing notification that sits there and tells me what my wifi status is. What? No option to remove it the unneeded redundancy? I am looking forward to rooting this device, if merely to get rid of the "Overlord"-ness forced onto this device.
Thanks for the toggle veriZon......
Thanks for confirming... I thought there was an error with my reset when I saw this redundant silliness. But no... just Verizon being Verizon, "Oh, so you all want the WiFi toggle? Then here you go!"

Any update on missing toggle after update?
So now I'm on MI1 and still I have no Wifi Toggle. I was wondering if anyone has found a work-around to get the toggle to appear other than a factory reset. Even if I root and backup all apps w/TiBU, it seems like too much effort to just get the toggle. Any advice?
If you root you can use an sqlite editor app and add the wifi toggle. I did this and it was quite simple, here's a link to a thread explaining how.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42004806
There is a thread on another forum with pictures and a video walk through but I'll let you google "wifi toggle s4" and find it since I doubt some people would like links to other forums here.
Not a problem. Thanks. Sad we need to resort to this given It's supposed to be there.

For some reason I had to add the "semi colon" before and after WiFiHotspot to make it show up as a toggle.
;WiFiHotspot;
So it doesn't work for you as described above quoted above try adding the semi-colon ; before and after they should fix it

Yeah, I'm definitely sure it's not in there. I have 17 toggles and I've seen screen shots from other S4 variations that had 20 or so toggles. It's definitely still missing.

I used this method and it worked great! it was simple (but read the thread for a few pages to get all the info to make it simple) and fun. Softwared will have glitches, it's just the way it goes, but it's nice to be able to fix some things on your own.
Looking to enable the hotspot functionality on my Note 3. I am currently rooted, though no custom recovery. How would I go about getting a native hotpot mod without installing a custom recovery? Im not opposed to installing one, but ive read that it trips Knox.

TRUE, TRUE. If you install a recovery it will trip KNOX. your best bet is to go to Google play store and install the Paid version of hotspot tether it works, and the developer is could at keeping it up to date. Ya, your our out a couple of bucks but that's better than the $30 monthly fee from sprint. OR, you can flash through a RECOVERY a deodexed version of NC5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 THEN flash through a RECOVERY this free hotspot mod here http://kitkatkiller.eu/index.php?dir=SPRINT+GALAXY+NOTE+3/KITKAT+FILES/MODS/NC5 ENJOY !!!

Sprint care should give it out without hesitation. Once obtained I posted in help forums how to change it to 000000 so you dont have to remember it in the future.

I'm thinking on getting a Note 3 on Sprint with unlimited data just to tether. Does anyone knows if I root or purchase an app on the play store to tether the data to my iPad and/or laptop Sprint can block or cancel my account for doing that? Let me know. Thanks.

Sorry, the one i linked works on nc5d 100% but in portrait mode only. I dont know anything about whats in fre3 2.16b rom. Sounds like you have custom recovery... backup and odin a stock tar then restore once youve grabbed your msl or maybe just call sprint to save yourself time.
Something I used to do back in the Hero and Evo 3d days was get my MSL and add it as a contact. Unfortunately, I didn't do that on the Note 3. Glad to see SPCUtility was upgraded to work on NC5. Now to make sure I always have my code. Do what you want with that tip. Thanks idone for all the neat stuff you are finding.
