Alright folks, if you're a tech-savvy type lookin' for PPP Widget 3, you gotta have ROOT access, no other way, and heads up, it ain't comin' from a local APK install. This reworked version boasts new modem connections like NCM, ECM, and QMI, plus it speeds up things with some jazzy asynchronous USB transfers. Works with 3G/4G modems, even older phones via Bluetooth DUN. But don't be searchin' for an app icon, nope, put this widget on your workspace to run the show. Just remember, root access and some external USB power are must-haves. And hey, no ads here, just a simple promise of helping with those stock firmware hurdles. If trouble hits, don't whine, drop by the support forum for a fix. Cheers!
Okay, so here's the deal: if you're looking to use this app, you absolutely need ROOT access. Can't avoid it, folks! 😅 Just a heads-up before diving in, this app won't let you do a local install from an APK download. So, keep that in mind too! 🤷♂️
PPP Widget 3 is basically the next-gen version of PPP Widget 2. It's got all the same features, but now it's jazzed up to support some new modem connection styles. We're talking NCM, ECM, and QMI for those in the know. Not just the old-school PPP! Plus, it brings its own USB mojo, fixing up some bugs from way back Android USB days (pre 4.3). This actually makes things run way faster using asynchronous USB transfers. 🚀
Tested this thing on newer Huawei modems like the E3272 and E3372, and it looks good. It should play nice with most 3G/4G/LTE modems. Just like the older widget, you can even use those retro-style cell phones with modem options via Bluetooth (that's the DUN profile for ya). 📱
Here's a crucial point though: you won't see any app window popping up! 🚫 No icons to tap, and no launchers to call. To wake this beast, you gotta slap the WIDGET on your workspace. So, make sure you're clued up on how to handle widgets on your device.
Here’s the nitty-gritty on requirements (give it a solid read so there's no griping later):
- Needs root access (Magisk is recommended 💪)
- For USB: gotta have USB host connection (use an OTG adapter)
- For USB: needs external USB power💡
About the power thing: modems can be power-hungry beasts, way more than your phone or tablet can dish out. Full battery or not, expect some hiccups if you don't have extra juice – we're talking disappearing modems or random cut-offs. To dodge these woes, I use a cheap OTG Y cable and any old micro USB power adapter. It shoots power straight to the modem without getting your device all drained. Even better? Just get an externally powered USB hub. ⚡
This app is totally free, ad-free, and doesn’t go snooping on your stuff. It's all about keeping things private ✋. If my assurances don't sit well with you, then maybe just don't hit install.
Last thing, this app is to sidestep the roadblocks found in run-of-the-mill phone firmwares. Not tested with those fancy custom ROMs where developers might've already ditched the need for such workarounds. ⚙️
If things don't go smoothly the first time, no need to lose your cool. Just head over to the support forum and spill the beans on what’s up. There might be a fix or update around the corner. Check out the "app website" link or swing by here for more info. 📞💻
