Question HotSpot hack

Is there a trick to install the hacked HotSpot? It keeps saying "Not Installed". I am stock rooted.

If your trying to install it like a normal .apk its not going to work. You have to move it to system\app and set the right permissions

What are the correct permissions may I ask? I have friend that just rooted her phone and wants the hotspot hack instead of wifi tether. Are the permissions the same as others, need to be inverted "7"?

I believe, if it goes in /system/app , as noob stated, then permissions will be rw-r-r. Same as other apks in system/app.

No, no, no, no....if you are not using a rooted custom ROM.

The hotspot hack(s) will only work on deodexed ROMs which you must flash through recovery. Since stock ROM is odexed, the only way you will receive the hotspot hack other than using the wifi tether app is to flash a rooted custom (possibly rooted stock) ROM which is deodexed, which most of them are.

Ok, 1 odexed ROM. I still have never seen a hotspot hack that wasn't part of a custom ROM, unless I've missed it somewhere, and have never found one for stock ROM, unless it was a custom rooted stock ROM.

I've always just flashed a rom that has hacked hotspot baked in. It's never caused any problems. I used it as my ISP for an entire summer with no issues.
