Description

From the listing uploaded by “andreharrison”.

Use your phone or your 3G modem stick with your Android device's USB host for Internet access - even if it is Wifi-only. There is no guarantee that all device combinations are working - READ and UNDERSTAND the requirements below ! And keep in mind that I don't get paid anything for this application. No ads, no data gathering. !! Attention !! Newer Google devices with stock Android > 4.2 have kernel module loading disabled. PPP Widget will most likely not work on these. Blame Google. If you get the "No driver" message, this is not the fault of PPP Widget. See the http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html">FAQs at the developer's website. Requirements: - Needs root access (with "Superuser" or "SuperSU" app) - Needs USB host - Needs a powered USB hub (unless your device has plenty of power) - Some devices (e.g. Samsung) need additional kernel drivers - Your modem must provide serial ports and use the standard PPP protocol This app is free. No ads. No data gathering. Warning: again, there is no guarantee that every Android/modem combo will work. Don't blame me, I can test only few devices! If your combination does not work, help with improvement. Don't just complain in a short comment. See app webpage for feedback options. Details: This widget is a frontend for the PPP daemon which enables Internet access over almost any USB device with modem capabilities, including mobile phones. For 3G sticks, the usb_modeswitch tool is included to bring them into modem mode, in most cases fully automatic. Even if this app needs root access for device preparation and building the connection, it does NOT alter any system files!

PPP Widget APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the PPP Widget APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4ef7f6603d81ca607705829d816135d2.
