ahhh! What am I missing here? I grabbed Rom Manager and then applied Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Shows Current Recovery as 2.5.0.4 and the latest Recovery being the same.

I grab the signed-mobileap.zip (THANK YOU!!!) and place it on my SD Card. I then launch Reboot into Recovery but can not find the file. I have even tried renaming it to update.zip.

I am finding another update.zip not in the SD directory but on internal. What am I missing here?


Ugh,

I know this has been said over-and-over in so many threads (and this is the dev forum, not help-desk) but the /sdcard directory is the internal storage, and that's where you need to place any flashable zip. Clockwork will only see the internal storage as your SD card, so don't ever place anything actually on your physically removable sd card.

Since you have clockwork installed, the update.zip on the internal /sdcard directory is clockwork, its loaded via stock recovery, into the ramdisk, and cleared at every reboot, so if you want to keep clockwork, keep that zip file exactly where it is.

When you reboot into recovery, if you do it manually, select re-install packages, this will load the clockwork update.zip and launch clockwork, then select install zip from sdcard, choose zip, etc. You don't need to rename the signed-mobileap.zip file.

cheers,

=)

Thank you very very much!! I appreciate the time it took to put that together and hopefully if others get to this point they will see this posted. Again, thank you sir.

Update: This appears to be problem free for me currently. I am able to access remote applications I could not on ad-hoc.

Works better than the other aps I've tried. Still can't establish a vpn connection across my tethered connection though.

Ok people are having issues with changing brightness from within settings. It has already been made clear! I will work on a fix when I an off work.

BTW I am pretty close to having FMRadio working as well. It looks like it may already be enabled in the kernel

Also volume control from within settings is producing FC's, might wasn't to check all clicks in settings, please. Otherwise excited about the progress!!

First off i would like to give a large amount of thanks to the dev for porting this app over as it was the one thing i was really missing from the generic SGS. that being said, I found a nifty trick to use with this if you do not want to stay rooted for any reason. I recently flashed the zip file with the mobile ap onto my vibrant and for some reason or another got tired of having root and nothing to do with it right now. i decided to unroot using the one-click method on the pc, and once it was completed, i noticed that i still had the mobile ap app on my phone. i went to activate it and try it, and sure enough, it works perfectly. i now have an unrooted stock vibrant with mobile ap the way it should have been all along and i wil tell you what, its freaking awesome. just some food for thought

So far, that makes brightness, volume, vibrate intensity slider adjustments produce FC's. Just putting this together for the OP.

Thanks for the work in putting this together!

Great work

Odd, but I see the same FM messages in a logcat from my vibrant. Haven't installed mobileap either nor put any random fm related libs on it..

Is the OP working on a fix for this? Had to do a Nandroid because it broke my market, still awsome, just not worth a broken phone. Barnicle will do for now.

I noticed earlier that the usb settings under "applications" are now gone in the settings menu.
Anyone else having this issue?

Its probably a stupid q but... What will "mobile ap" do that say barnacle or wireless tether won't?

Will it work with my 360 without three need of a bridge? Or work with others phones?

I would definitely like to have another tether option though, wireless tether kinda sucks and barnacle is finicky with me..

Thanks guys...

It works in infrastructure mode like a wireless router. It should work with any device. I connected my android tablet to it yesterday outside. worked fine.

    The MobileAP is now up and running on the Vibrant, Captivate & Orange i9000. Still trying to work out what is going on with the Epic version.Just flash the folowing through recovery. You access the MobileAP in Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile AP Settings.

    **Captivate users please make sure you are using a custom kernel that supports this.

    **Vibrant users just need to flash and you are good.

    **Epic users just flash the update.zip. it appears all previous issues have been resolved. thanks to Firon for the ammends needed!

    THIS NEEDS TO BE FLASHED WITH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH AN AOSP ROM. THE 1st BOOT WILL TAKE A WHILE BECAUSE OF THE DEXOPT. DON"T FREAK OUT!

    Use the one for your phone from below!

    "**Vibrant users just need to flash and you are good."

    I am new to Androids and took some time to figure out what to do before I tried this on my U.S. Galaxy S Vibrant. It failed and I am not certain why, though this is not uncommon common to my long experience of Linux (manual-writing requires different skills). The following is what I determined I had to do, and did:

    1. I rooted the phone using "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" and associated directions - I now have a "Superuser Permission" app but it's not clear to me what it does -- I mean, if it gave me a terminal window I would understand.

    2. I installed ROM Manager and executed "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." It now reports current Recovery as ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2

    3. I downloaded "signed-mobileap.vibrant.T959UVJI6.v2.zip" to my computer (Xubuntu) and renamed (a copy of it) to "update.zip."

    4. I connected the phone in USB mode and copied "update.zip" to the phone root (not the microSD card root where I'd earlier placed other files, independent of phone, via USB card reader).

    5. I disconnected the phone from the computer, waited for "cards" to remount local to phone, brought up ROM Manager, and selected "Boot into Recovery."

    6. Once in recovery mode I selected "reinstall packages." There it started into the installation process and returned a message (in red) "installation aborted."

    Settings - About Phone - Baseband version reports: T959UVJI6

    What have I done wrong? :confused:

    Don't rename it just flash via cwm .
    Boot into cwm and select "install zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from sdcard" . Then select and flash the file.
