Just an update. There is absolutely no info on AziLink newer than like decade ago except what I have posted. So if somebody is looking, they may run into this thread. And AziLink deserves more recognition, its OPEN SOURCE and does work really well most of time. To clarify. AziLink is an Android app ...

Two or three years ago I bought a used Lenovo Ideapad 100s with the atom processor capable of 64bit and the 32bit bios. Cheap cause it had a hosed 32bit install of win10 on it and wouldnt run the built in win10 restore. No problem booting linux from usb drive. I even installed some Puppy on eMMC and...

I would still be curious how to make it work. But its a mute point. I finally used package manager to install PlayOnLinux. Found instructions to modify it so it will run in root. I let it download and install 32bit WINE 2.2 and KindleForPC117. Kindle now works though GoldenBird doesnt. :( But Kindle...

wine64-5.0-rc1_v5.0-rc6.pet

Bionicpup on desktop was getting bit crashy, so did fresh install, this time of dpupbuster64. Installed wine64-5.0-rc1_v5.0-rc6.pet and it actually went pretty smooth for a wine installation. I just couldnt get portable wine I had been using to work in dpupbuster64. However my main reason to install...

Using it more, I think when it gets confused and goes into loop, its the openvpn software on computer side. I have experimented the few times its done this. I turn off service in phone app part of AziLink but dont reboot phone. Then reboot computer. Turn on service again in phone app, then hit the s...

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1179894 Nice historic discussion of AziLink, this was originally for early Android phone that didnt have native capability of tethering. It wasnt blocked by cell provider but just didnt have it in first place. The most interesting is their script to connect ...

Doing same thing over and over expecting different results is mark of insanity. Somehow doing such worked. I am on dpupbuster64 tethered to the Sonim using AziLink. And it has stayed connected this time for over ten minutes. See how long it stays tethered. Wont call it solved yet. Its enough hassle ...

Here is ten year old thread on AziLink that didnt generate much interest then. Only historic thread on this forum mentioning it. Guess I got farther than they did. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=420100 I had no problem seeing phone as "device". Nor with it connecting, but...

Or doesnt the forum support dpupbuster64 anymore? The quoted screen is from dpupbuster64 computer. These tethering apps require an apk app on ...

AziLink tethering app won't work with Sonim phone (Solved)

Its a free open source Android app that does same thing that such as paid app such as EasyTether does. It lets you tether computer via usb to cell phone with tethering blocked. My story, here in USA, 3G service is on way out. So my old and reliable Samsung Eternity with no tethering block will becom...

I will mention I do have wine portable. It cant handle the flip clock screensaver apps mentioned in the instructible (I found two), but clocX with RoedeKugler.png clock face option works and covers both tray and title bar automatically.
