USB tethering works!!!

mostafa.dkhissi · 12-03-2014, 03:48 PM

Hi,
I was searching for a way to enable USB tethering in android so as to use my glo as monitor at night using vnc and since kvncviewer support just 1bit as I think.

I've found a temporary solution for USB tethering by compiling kernel without Android usb gadget and enabling CDC ethernet, so you will lose adb and storage mode, but I will try to patch the code to get proper solution.

Unlike vnc through wifi, vnc through usb is very usable.
I use x11vnc server, high contrast theme, set saturation to 0 in window manager, high contrast extension, enabling grayscale by default in google chrome, and bvnc in the glo.

the kernel to flash.

finally I can work on computer at night without hurting my sleep quality.

I will give details about this subjet/how to later please wait!!!
thank you!

Yes it works BUT MR don't allow it talked about. Suggest you delete this thread!

Nice that you worked it out. Kvncviewer is not 1bpp, however. Though admittedly, the codebase needs a bit of love.

Edit/PS: this is not about what you seem to think, Katie1. At least from what OP wrote. Is there even a Kobo with 3G?

I'm confused as to what you think is against policy here... Could you maybe explain?

What's not allowed to be talked about is tethering a Kindle using 3G. This is tethering using WiFi. That's allowed.
