How do I install this on X5?

---

Noob question... How do I install this ad-hoc support onto my X5?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961

Tried doing this myself, it seems like our wpa_supplicant is different from other Android phones. Even using the V0.6.10 wpa_supplicant ad-hoc fix meant that WiFi would not enable.

Rats I really wanted to get that going

How did you install it? Even if it doesn't work I still want to know how

Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800

Disable WiFi

Replace stock WPA_Supplicant

Enable WiFi

Then should work, but it just gets stuck and disables WiFi.

Although, I was watching logcat and it seems it is checking the wrong location for the wpa_supplicant.conf. Although, even placing it there doesn't allow it to correctly function.

Let's just pretend I'm so noob I don't even know how replace stock WPA_Supplicant *cough*

You can enter recovery-mode (holding both volume-buttons and power-button on startup) and connect the phone to a pc, then replace the /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with the custom file.

Or

Get the custom conf-file to your phone and copy-paste it to /etc/wifi/ with rootexplorer (don't forget to check "mount R/W" in rootexplorer)

Sweet, thanks guys.

Pity you said it doesn't work

I really want to find a way to create/join a network between my phone and my netbook

Creating a hotspot on the phone just seems to share the phones internet, and I can't access the netbook from the phone. Will have to try find another way

Isn't that exactly what he doesn't want to do?

I think he's trying to access the phones files wirelessly similar to Doubletwist Airsync or Kies Air.

Have a look at android sync manager.

Connectify allows you to turn you pc into a wireless ap, It will allow his phone to talk to the rest of his network and internet.

This gets around the need to get android to connect to a ad-hoc wifi.
