Root [Boost Mobile] [Dev] Tethering enabled Settings menu

[PattF]

I'm making a thread for faster searching in the future.

Here is the Settings.apk with tethering enabled. Here is the XML to add it to your own. It goes in "/res/xml".

Thank you. It works.
Ill be seeing what I can do with it.
Maybe ill include it in my theme as a bonus
I'm not a true dev by any means but I'm into learning.

It won't install...do I need to move in the app folder?

 

[PattF]

Yeah, you can't install system apps. Just make sure you have the permissions set before moving it into /system/apps in case your phone reboots before you can set them, if it doesn't reboot itself you're going to need to do that after.

Can you tell us how you actually did this? And i take it the settings.apk needs to be deodexed?

Or better yet can you release the xml and/or smali you edited?

With this app will we be able to have the wifi tether or only usb on side note i found the tether settings in launcher actions so i dont need to flash unless you get the wifi hotspot with it which would bbe badass

I added the highlighted section to "/res/xml/settings.xml". You shouldn't need to be deodexed for it to work if you are trying to manually add it to your Settings.apk.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm assuming icons, you'd have to wait for him to do that.

I updated OP with the file for you.

Your awesome man, thanks

 

[Darkrum]

Awesome it worked! Been looking how to do this forever (Not a big fan of tether apps) Question is there anyway to put this has a sub menu inside wireless & networks menu.

Edit: Just tried to use it and it gives me error when i click on mobile hotspot... did i miss something?

The hot spot won't work. Only the USB tether works

The hot spot won't work. Only the USB tether works

Can we get the hot spot working? are we missing some files to get it working?

 

[Darkrum]

Bump...

 

[PattF]

That's most likely a kernel issue and I don't know about you but I'd much rather see the kernel dev's work on CM9 or CM10 than this.

 

[bricky]

Is a computer necessary to get this to work or can I do through my phone only?

 

[PattF]

A PC isn't required, but a rooted ROM is. If you're rooted then google how to replace system apps.

Is that download for the lg 870?

No, this is only for the original ZTE Warp. I'm not sure if the 870 has something similar or not.
