Hello all,
since we now have root and access to root files.. is there any way to remove the provisioning on the 'hot spot' app so we can use native tethering? I know this was done on the G2. and was hoping we could make something like that work on the V10.
Thanks!
Have you tried backing up the files and using the G2 files? It is possible they will work.
Just use FoxFi
Use file explorer or something and just delete it and reboot.
Hey i have the modded v10 native hotspot provisioning

Already using FoxFi (because I have to)... don't like the VPN stuff. rather go native.
Will you provide a link and some directions? or PM me?
Thanks!

here is the one from the G4 which seems to work
I used Root Explorer
Navigate to /System/App/HotspotProvision
Rename HotspotProvision.apk to HotspotProvision.bak
Paste/move the downloaded modified HotspotProvisionVZWV10.apk file to /system/app/HotspotProvision
Long-press on the file > properties to change the permissions
Change the permissions to 644 (rw-, r--, r--)
Reboot
There is already a thread for this.

Hey.
Im trying to add Root Explorer to a ROM, so whenever I install that ROM, Root Explorer is installed. But Im having problems.
I tried adding Rootexplorer.apk to system/app but when I install ROM and try to run it, it force close and says something about (com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)
Then I tried to add rootexplorer.apk to data/app
Doesn't appear installed.
I really don't know how to do it and need help. I don't know if im doing something wrong...
i think when you ad any .apk too system/app you need to change the permission to rw-r--r-- and then reboot it should work!!

The problem is that im adding the .apk to a .zip file
So I can't set any permission until I install that .zip
Camera.apk and mms.apk added to system/app and they worked.
Rootexplorer.apk won't =/

Im sure I have used ROMs that come with root explorer installed.
Not sure how they did it, but there must be a way.
I download ROM.zip and trying to add rootexplorer.apk
thats it

i think when you make a ROM you need a software that can also set the permissions in the zip file i had seen it yesterday but i dont remember the name
i saw it in the development section in a ROM making guide see if you can find it all the best !!
There's no need of any such software. Whenever a rom installs,all the required permissions are set automatically by the updater-script. And well, if you are planning to release the ROM on xda, Do *not* include root explorer in it. Root explorer is a paid app and adding warez to roms is not allowed on XDA.

I did some looking around, but none of the guides I found seem to work. I'm basically trying to rename an audio file to kill the camera click, but found an issue that might give me problems later with other things I might want to do.
Each time I try renaming the file, the file renames itself back to its original name after I reboot the phone. For example, if I add .bak or an extra space in the file name, it disappears once I reboot.
I'm using ES File Explorer on my stock, rooted Sprint HTC One. I mounted the /system path as R/W, and the file is /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.

Its because android need these file onboot, to make the camera make a different noise, get a camera_click.ogg file from a different rom and just replace it in the system, and set the permissions to the previous one. Use root browser lite.

Thanks for the input! I'll find a silent .ogg file to substitute in. Do I have to use root browser or can this be done with ES?

This mod ONLY applies to UNLIMITED USERS who DO NOT have tethering on their plan
This mod DOES NOT apply to SHARE EVERYTHING plans
I took a peak over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 and saw that there were issues with using the G2 apk. I decided to take a looksy at it and see if I can replicate the functionality of the G2 apk with out having to re-apply settings to turn on tethering.
I have always had issues using root explores and database explorers messing up permissions and causing boot loops so until I have a proper recovery I use the android terminal emulator. Many people here have had plenty of success using file explores so give it a shot if you like!
Skip down to the bottom for a video walkthrough created by { owenbeals aka DroidModderX}
First things first you will need root!
0.) Start a root shell
Code:
su
1.) mount the system partition for read and write access
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
2.) Rename stock files HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex to something memorable. I use .bak and .bakdex
Code:
cd /system/app
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakdex
3.) Now copy over the new file, can be the root of the extSD card which is /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk
Code:
cp /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk .
4.) The last thing is to change permissions to 644 (RW- R-- R-- for you file browsy types )
Code:
chmod 644 HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.apk
5.) Now reboot and enjoy your glitch free hotspot action!
You must reboot! Do not try to "install" it, it does not function like that.
N.B.
Some users have noted that their cpu governors change to Performance while the hotspot is on and change back to On Demand when off instead of normal Interactive. This is the stock behaviour of the kernel, and not a bug introduced by this mod.

You have change something every time you use it.
The modded apk works perfectly. I used root explorer to do it though. I renamed the original files, copied your apk to system/app, renamed it to HotSpotProvision.apk, fixed the permissions and rebooted.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give this a try when I'm bored later on today at work. Could you explain what you actually did to the hotspot apk though?
One thing though - why not just append ".bak" to the end of the existing filename/extension? That way, you don't lose the original extension so you can't forget what it was. It works fine. That's what I always do. In other words, your files would end in ".apk.bak" and ".odex.bak". The system only sees the extension after the final period.

How do you launch tethering after moving, renaming, and re-permissioning the apk? I've tried to launch from Settings app but nothing happens.
The downloaded apk he modded is named differently from the original one in the system/app folder. After I changed the names for the original files in system/app. I changed the name of the modded apk to match the original apk in system/app. I copied the renamed modded apk to system/app, set the permissions correctly, then rebooted. I went into Settings then More... under wireless networks,Mobile HotSpot and changed the SSID and password. I can turn it on via settings or the quick setting in the notification bar.

I'd guess for it to work from stock menus (i.e. without starting the apk directly from a file browser app or terminal emulator) you'd have to rename it the same as the stock apk so that the path is the same for the various apps that would call it.

So I have renamed it exactly as the original apk was and rebooted but still no go. On reboot I get a force close of VZWAWSService. I have some of the system bloat frozen, maybe this has something to do with it.

Did you reboot?
There should be no reason to rename the apk. When android installs applications it goes into the /data... Dir as the package name. All intents are handled via package names therefore the apk name is inconsequential.
To use you should be able to go settings > more and see all the tethering options.
To verify placement and permissions use
Code:
su
ll /system/app/Hotspot*
You should see your two backup files and the new HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.all
Permissions should be rw-r--r--
Let me know if you still have issues.
I will post a DIY response so that people who want to learn about the modification can play along at home. Think of it as source code for this mod:good:

Thanks for the detailed response, I got it working now. I had previously frozen some of the bloat on the phone when I got it and one of the apps I froze was the lgemobilehotspotui.apk which is needed to work correctly. Thanks for all the help from the awesome devs here.
Nice work, thanks. I just installed it with Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. Just have to do it to the wife's phone, now.
Well done. Working great!
Thanks! Works perfect. And now I can use the toggle on the drop down menu to activate the hotspot. Thanks so much.
Worked
Worked perfectly for me. Used ES file explorer to move the files around.
I have downloaded, changed permissions, changed the file names to .bak but when I try to install the nodded split says application not installed. I'm using root explorer. I did have the othe mod installed and deleted it first. Wondering if that is the problem
Edit...Stopped trying to install and just rebooted and it turns on just fine, and my laptop connects...the app shows it connected and listed as an approved device...yet I'm not able to actually get a a connection.

Thanks! Works like a champ.
works great!
I'm also getting the VZWARSService has stopped message, and when I go into settings and turn on the hotspot, nothing happens. If I go into mobile hotspot and turn it on from there, I get this message: Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. Followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Works perfectly. I used Root Explorer to rename and move everything. Thanks!
Worked like a charm the only thing is still changes the cpu governor to performance the g2 one did it to I don't know if someone is able to fix that
It's just when I turn on the hotspot afterwards I use android tuner and change it back to interactive
Does anyone else have this issue
Stock ROM has problem with bluetooth aptx codec. If bluetooth device supports both, aptx and aac, than aac preffered.
Solvetion is to disable aac codec for bluetooth connections in build.prop
If you have root, just add string to build.prop:
persist.bt.a2dp.aac_disable=true
Don't forget to set permissions to 755.
Than reboot.
Another not tested variant:
change persist.vendor.btstack.a2dp_offload_cap=sbc-aptx-aptxhd-aac
to persist.vendor.btstack.a2dp_offload_cap=sbc-aac-aptx-aptxhd
In this variant aac stay enabled

Use buildprop editor, you should add if it is not there already and set permissio to rw- r-- r-- . Es file explorer has built in buildprop editor and ability to set required system files permission, or you can use any other app with similar function. Please find attachment to get better idea.
changed it and saved, but after restart buildprop file is as before edition.
Any idea?

You need to check that changes are saved in build.prop
And check the permissions of file, they should be 755

I change the 755, adds a row. I save everything.
Validating - for sure by opening the file again. A new row is added. The file has permission for execute - it is 755.
I restart the phone.
After reboot, the BuildProp file is 644 again, and the added row in it is not there !!!
As if the system was restoring the file before the changes during the system reboot.
I have root and changes I made in BuildProp Editor and a normal text editor, changing permissions to the file using Root Browser.
Each time after reboot the changes are reversed.
