I have a USA AT&T GT, and have installed the WPA_supplicant, which allows the GT to serve as an adhoc network to allow some sharing of internet capabilities. But this application (grand as it is) lacks choice of encryption (WPA, WEP, WPA2), and does not provide an infastructure network (instead it provides ad-hoc). Lack of infrastructure network raises policy issues and prevents some devices from being able to connect.
I saw a USA Verizon GT that had a slick pre-installed application that allowed personal hotspot capabilities including infrastructure and those encryption methods. Is there a way for me to obtain the APK for that tool? I've looked all over the ROM and Applications sections of this forum, searched Google and the marketplace, and cannot find anything similar. Am I the only person interested in such a thing?

Thank you, b0ricuaguerrero, but that is what I have (and that's where I got it). What I'm looking for has capabilities not included in the googlecode version, including infrastructure mode network and other encryption methods.
i can do that with my euro tab
it has a mobile ap settings, i dont know if that's what you're looking for?

oh yea forgot about mobile ap. that should do the job
Thanks! That is an improvement since it has infra network, my primary need. This will serve very well, though it still lacks the alternate encryption mechanisms.
I really appreciate the hint!
Was wondering if anyone knew of an app for Android similar to Netlimiter (Windows) or Trickle (Linux), etc. I've looked but have not been able to find anything. Would be great if I could throttle my bandwidth in some way as I am usually on a shared WiFi connection. If an app similar to this does not exist, does anyone know if this is due to some sort of limitation of Android?

Look for /proc/net/psched in your device. If you got this (you probably have), the kernel is compiled with traffic shaping enabled (QoS) and you should be able to control it using the command "tc" in the iproute2 package (/system/bin/tc most likely). Its a bit tricky, but there's lots of howto's using tc on GNU/Linux.

Thank you. I will look into that. I do wonder why an app for this has not been released, though. Seems like it would be pretty useful.

I really think the traffic shaping policy should be enforced by the router, and not in the Android device. A tc frontend app to Android I would say have quite limited use.

I think that depends on if you have a router that has that functionality I know there are some apps on Android that have bandwidth throttling capabilities so to some extent it is already available.

True, but what about the cases where you would like to conserve the bandwith you have using mobile data

Not really. You don't save anything forcing your web page / mail / whatever to load at a slower pace. And if you want to disable some services, still using other, not disabling mobile data in all, netfilter (iptables) is the way to go, not traffic shaping (tc).
Contrary to first glance

I'm guessing you didn't think about streaming video. Many content providers like Netflix and Amazon instant video stream higher quality video if it detects that you have sufficient bandwidth. My 4G LTE connection regularly exceeds 8 Mbps. Consequently, if I try to stream something, I get the highest quality video and eats through my data allotment like there is no tomorrow.
I would love to have a bandwidth limiter app.
I have been wondering why there's no app too, I use Netlimiter on all the pc's here, we don't have the greatest of bandwidth so when someone is downloading a game or something, I choke it down so it doesn't lag games we play like Blacklight or GRO. I would use it exactly the same way on our devices.
If anyone is interested in creating one, let me know. I'm a logo/graphic designer so we can make it look sweet
Still no way to do this?! Google play (on "low" quality) eats through my 5GB data at a ridiculous rate (100MB+/hour). Would love to limit it to 128kbs to get a little more mileage as I listen all day at work.
There is no way to do it. Next release Android L was commented to have bandwidth throttling, but is just a guess.
Google May Build Bandwidth Throttling Feature Into Android
This is something that I would be looking forward too, should it come with L. I'm an avid NetLimiter myself
Bandwidth ruler Free ( an Android bandwidth manager)
There is already an APP that implements bandwidth shaping /throttling for android .
you can download it via this link :
Also , you can find its description in the following xda thread :

I've just tried the free and pro version and don't work well with my device. I can't select the specific option for bandwith shaping, is enabled but the dropdown list doesn't work.

If speed limiting is set to None and desactivated , it means that either your device is not rooted or your device is not QOS capable.
Could you please click on help and tell what device capabilities outputs ?
@scandiun , for an uncovered use case, an update of the APP had been made , could you please update to latest version and see if it works for you , as your device is supposed to support the feature .
Thank you
would be great have such function integrated in the roms
You can give BradyBound a try. It limits/shapes the download speed at the OS level.

Yes, and it's also open source.
Hi guys,
we've just launched our latest app called AdFlake (www.adflake.com)
AdFlake provides free ad network mediation for iOS and Android apps including house ads and up-to-the-minute analytics.
Right now we're supporting 14 ad networks, and we plan to add more ad networks and platforms (Windows Phone + Windows 8).
Integrating AdFlake into your app on either Android or iOS is dead simple and can be done within minutes.
If you're an AdWhirl user that's great, because you can migrate to AdFlake within minutes,
just change a few lines in your delegate and you're good to go - you don't even have to change the SDK.
AdFlake is also open source and everybody can start a pull-request with our repos on GitHub.
Check out our "Developer Resources" for more information about the SDK integration, website usage and more: http://www.adflake.com/SDK
If you've got any questions I'd love to answer them here!
Best Regards,
Manny

Just a quick update on the service, we've added a new ad network: AppBrain's AppLift and we're now supporting custom events on all devices! Custom events allow you to trigger custom events in your code using the ad flake service. Read more about custom events on our wiki: https://github.com/MADEAPPS/AdFlake-Wiki/wiki/Custom-Events
Hello!
My first app is close to ready and I'm searching for an ad network to use. The problem is that most networks that I've looked at seem to only show you a list of ads that have already appeared in your app. This lets you block low quality ads after they've appeared, but by then it's already too late. I'm very picky about the ads that are going to be in the app, and I'm hoping for a global audience.
Is there a network that lets you preview the ads that will appear in your app for different countries?
Thanks!

Hey!
As far as I'm aware there are mobile ad networks that let you run direct deals with advertisers of your choice (i.e. Chartboost) and you can be as picky as you want, on a country-level as well. The downside is that this requires high maintenance from your end and you have to regularly select one-by-one the ads that will get displayed to your users and do this for every country, in order to maximize revenues.
If you don't want to annoy your users with intrusive and low quality ads, you have other alternatives too.
I work for Avocarrot and we specialize in mobile native ads. We work closely with many app developers to create the best advertising experience for their users and have partnerships with premium ad exchanges to serve ads on a global scale that your users will find interesting.
If you have 15mins, check out http://www.avocarrot.com and integrate native ads to see how you can serve ads without annoying your users.
Cheers

I think most ad networks let you choose what ads you want to show and let you set some general filters,
atleast the ones with the interstitial ads.
I know that every per per install network requires you to integrate their SDK into your app before enabling you to promote your apps.
But in ayeT-Studios doesn't require SDK. How in the world will they know if the user actually installed the app or just clicked its ad and never installed it after opening Google store?

They have an app called CashPirate, and all the user incentivized downloads are started from this app. So they can detect every app installed on the device and match with the apps that the user clicked on CashPirate.
In general, it does not seem to be a scam, there is a discussion about the service on makingmoneywithandroid website.

I used ayetstudio for few times, and i really like it...It is not a scam...working well and cheap...
Ayet studios is using advanced codes and it tracks the device of its users and so it matches the apps on users device to the ads clicked and that is why it is without any skd. It is very cheap and I am also its user.
ayeT-Studios has cheaper price for install. But it quolity is not perfect, I use it with other install sources.
As stated, the sdk integration is not needed because we use our own traffic sources (CashPirate and GiftPanda).
But we do now offer a free tracking sdk to enable some more features (CPA campaigns, easier managed campaigns, CPE) and give you even better fraud prevention!
Greetings,

I don't really know ayeT-Studios but there are lot more other ASO providers available if someone looking for incentivized traffic. I'm using Android Installs services since a year and I have never problem with the delivered installs. Most of the times I've got extra installs on the top what I've ordered. Unfortunately they have no refferal system, but I share it: androidinstalls.com
I'm a Developer and I know exactly that no need any integration to track app installation or open.
