How to automatically launch android Acess Point on startup? My Galaxy S with the Samsung Android built on it offers me the option the run the phone as a W-LAN acess point that connects to the internet via mobile data.

I would like to configure  the access point to start working immediately after booting the phone.

How to do that? 

Bonus points if the setting can be achieved via adb and/or if I can set the wifi-password from adb as well.
The WiFi password IMHO is only setup once, when you configure your device's hotspot. Lateron, you simply activate/deactivate it.

To automate the latter, you could e.g. use Tasker:

Profile "AutoHotspot":


Condition: "Device Boot"
Task: "WiFi Tether" &rarr; set On


With this profile activated, your Hotspot would be automatically be enabled as soon as the device has completed booting up.

For the "bonus point" you mentioned: There's a free 7-day trial available on the Tasker Homepage. You can download the .apk to your computer, and use ADB to install it on your device (adb pm install)...
