PPP Widget 2 (discontinued) 1.6.0

If the PPP Widget 2 is compatible with your device, you should try PPP Widget 3 as it offers potential speed improvements. However, please note that while PPP Widget 3 is recommended for users whose modems do not work with PPP Widget 2, it is still possible to revert back to PPP Widget 2 if necessary.

With the PPP Widget app, you can easily utilize your 3G modem stick or modem-enabled phone to access the internet on your Wifi-only Android tablet. This can be achieved by utilizing the USB host (OTG) feature or Bluetooth with DUN devices. The best part is that no additional kernel driver modules are required.

It is important to note that while this application is not guaranteed to work on every device combination due to the inability to test every tablet or modem, reading and understanding the full description and checking the requirement list will increase your chances of success. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that USB modem support may be provided by custom ROMs.

In the event that you encounter any issues with PPP Widget 3, please be prepared to provide a detailed error report instead of simply leaving a negative review stating "Doesn't work." This will allow for better assistance and troubleshooting for both you and other users.

Before using this app, please ensure that you meet the following requirements:

• Root access is necessary and the "SuperSU" app is recommended
• For USB connections, an OTG adapter and external USB power are required as modems draw more power than tablets typically provide
• The modem or external phone being used must support serial USB ports or the Bluetooth DUN profile and use the standard PPP protocol

This app is completely free and does not contain any advertisements or collect user data. It is compatible with most devices running Android 4.x and 5.x, allowing for full network access including Google Play downloads. However, it is important to note that some tablet models may have modified Android systems which could limit full network access.

Please keep in mind that this app is still in its early stages, so if you experience any crashes, it is helpful to upload a bug report or report the problem on the PPP Widget forum for prompt resolution.

It is worth noting that this app is a "widget only" and does not have an icon in the app menu. You must manually place the widget onto your device's workspace. Make sure you are familiar with accessing widgets on your specific device.

Although this app uses the VPN feature of Android to create a network interface, it does not offer an actual VPN service. Therefore, using a real VPN connection is not possible through this app.

If you encounter any issues with your device combination, please do not hesitate to report them. Simply providing complaints without proper information does not contribute to effective resolution. Given the wide variation in device hardware and the inability to test every modem or tablet available, your detailed report will greatly assist in troubleshooting. Additionally, please be aware that the USB host feature (OTG) may be unreliable on some devices. If your modem is not detected reliably, try rebooting the device or changing the order of connecting the OTG cable, hub, power, and modem.
