What's this?

This is an android app (written specifically for the HTC desire) that allows you to create / join a wireless ad-hoc network.

What do I need?

• A rooted HTC desire phone
• I'm running the modaco ROM (r9) on mine

Limitations

• You might have to manually refresh the screen (press menu, choose refresh) after some operations.
• Sometimes the phone seems to dislike the idea of joining existing adhoc networks. If the adhoc connection doesn't seem to work try a different ESSID (see debugging).

How does it work?

See this HOWTO that I wrote for details on what the app does behind the scenes.

Alternatives

Some other ways of connecting your android phone to ad-hoc networks are outlined here. Also, this app will become pointless once android natively supports ad-hoc networks.
