Hi guys,

I was just playing with my Teewe 1 today and decided to try this out. Everything worked so far. But as everyone knows WiFi settings were not available. But turns out the Tewee apps have nothing to do with it. I disabled all the Teewe apps(it runs atleast twice as fast now) from auto-starting using 'Autostarts' app, but still I was connected to WiFi. So I thought of accessing the WiFi settings through ADB using the the following intent :

./adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings

It opens up the usual android Wifi Settings and everything works!
Now all we need to do is just pull the settings app and change the Name and Intent of the option from Ethernet to WiFi. If someone can do it it would be great. Otherwise I will probably do it in some time.

Also since I disabled the Teewe apps from startup, so it directly boots up to the launcher!

Thanks sonalswaroop for the code to access wifi setting.

Kindly share the settings.apk with ethernet modified to wifi. that would help a lot.

i own Tewee -1 past few years and it was lying idle, now searching over internet i came across few threads and now i am using as per following:-
1- Installed nova launcher (its running smooth for me)
2- its pre rooted, but i updated su binary & installed SU. Thanks to coolhunk4o2 in first post of this thread
3- Installed Mx player
4- since only 1gb is available so install the apps only which is needed & with 1gb ram, my MX player easily runs 720p/1080p videos with file size upto 1gb.

- on USB port i am using 4 port usb hub (1 port is for wireless mouse & other for USB pendrive (currently using 64gb to play movies/videos etc)
- 1 micro usb is for powering through TV usb port (or you can use mobile charger etc)
- 1 micro usb is spare

Here's a little help for others, as how i did it (right from start - OR you can reset to start afresh) :-
** I removed cover and using the PCB card as it is - open to air (for fast cooling purpose) & also the cover blocks all port on my tewee device.**

Pre-requisite:-
As tewee runs on Android 4+. Download apk files of requisite softwares for android 4+ from apk sites (google it, if you are unknown to such sites).
Put all apk file in a folder in your mobile phone, preferably in phone storage (not on SD card).
a wifi mouse is preferred.

1- Android mobile phone - With app2fire application installed.
2- switch on tewee - it will enable tewee hotspot by default
3- connect your android mobile to tewee via wifi (mobile data should be turned off)
4- open app2fire application on mobile. Go to setup and Search for Fire TV's (if you know the IP of your tewee device, enter it) & press Save
5- Click Upload Button (second from top right corner). it will open your mobile phone file manager. go back upto /storage/emulated/0. Your mobile phone folders will be visible here.
6- go to the folder of apk files for tewee device. Click Nova Launcher.apk (in my case, your can be different, but it should be compatible with Andoid 4+) and Click Install. Usually, it will install the launcher. In case there is error in installing, UPLOAD the file. once uploaded, go to next step.
7- Install file manager apk. I used FX file manager as i used it in my previous phones and handy for me. Now go back in app2fire main screen & click FIRE TV APPS.
8- Apps installed above can be launched by this screen. Usually apps on top are the once installed. Click FX.apk to go to file manager OR Launcher.apk to go to launcher. If launcher was not installed at Point 6 above, then the same can be installed using file manager easily.
9- Once launcher is started, it will ask for default launcher.
10- Launch setting.apk & goto Apps > All running apps & disable anything with name Tewee on it (can be uninstalled too after rooting/updating su binary - refer first post).
11- any app can now be installed using app2fire OR using pendrive on usb HUB (since only 1 port is available on device, so mouse will not work, if hub is not used)
12- there is small reset button - which can be used anytime

Hope this thread is compilation of evry question asked so far.

Now waiting for sonalswaroop for the settings.apk to push in tewee and start using wifi settings easily.

Ansh

EDIT 1:- sonalswaroop, I opened wifi setting using the code. checked the box to open wifi, but nothing happened after that. Cant click on WPS OR + to add wireless AP and the scanning feature is also not working. i think wireless is disabled in build.prop. if you can check and let us know how to connect to wifi.

EDIT 2:- Can anyone please help with updating setting.apk as sonalswaroop mentioned in post. it would be of of great help.

EDIT 3:- using this apk helps accessing wifi setting directly

Thanks to developer.
Now the Teere device is running nicely.

Tewee 1 Dongle - Hardware update

This is what Tewee 1 dongle PCB looks like.

I assume that the Green arrow is showing the wifi anteena over the PCB. The reception is very poor .

There are 2 holes punched on the dongle PCB (can be seen in Blue Circle in attached pics).
Can i solder a SMA female connector on it, for installing a 2/5 dbi external antenna for better reception .

Any expert senior here can help regarding the problem.

Regards

Hi,
There is a code to access wifi settings in android OS. Hope it will work on yours too.

If you have saved any wifi password before OR your mobile hotspot and it's still getting connected to your tewee device, you can do following:-

- connect your tewee device with known wifi (AP or Hotspot)
- connect your laptop to same wifi network.
- use wifi net watcher or cmd prompt to know your tewee device IP address.
- then use adb connect and above mentioned wifi setting command from your laptop to access the wifi setting page.
- use wifi mouse on tewee device for entering credentials.

Ansh
