but there is no
menu entry for wifi hotspot.
On what device was this? Also, please note that the entry is currently not
under Wi-Fi, but Cellular/Mobile.

Yep, also on rc-proposed with bq, and would love some more
instructions on
how to test the wifi hotspot
Silos are just PPAs <http://askubuntu.com/a/4987/68921> [1], but the phone
system is read-only by default. If you install the “phablet-tools-citrain
<https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/#prepare-desktop>”
[2] package on your laptop, plug in your phone (assuming developer mode is
enabled
<https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/#enabling-dev-mode>
[3]),
and run (still on the laptop):
citrain device-upgrade 46 1234
# where 46 is the silo number and 1234 is the pass code on the phone
# see citrain -h for more options
This should make the phone system writable, add the PPA and upgrade the
system.
To do this manually, you'll find instructions on making your device system
writable here
<https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/>
[4],
and then add *ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-046*.
The packages you want to upgrade/downgrade are
indicator-network,qml-module-ubuntu-connectivity,libconnectivity-qt1,ubuntu-system-settings,libsystemsettings1
Right now, you can install these with this command, but please not that
these version numbers will increase as we continue to develop this:
sudo apt-get install
{indicator-network,qml-module-ubuntu-connectivity,libconnectivity-qt1}=0.5.2+15.04.20150722-0ubuntu1
{ubuntu-system-settings,libsystemsettings1}=0.3+15.04.20150722-0ubuntu1
So if you get, “E: version not found …” you need to check this page
<https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-046/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=vivid>
[5]
for new version numbers. :)

I'm on the stable channel, Am I need to change to rc-proposed to test
Wi-Fi hotspot? Or just need to add the necessary silo?
The stable channel is fine—especially so if you install OTA5—you just need
the silo and a MX4 or Aquaris device.
There's also a heap of brilliant people
in #ubuntu-touch <http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-touch> on
irc.freenode.net
ready to help.
Thank you for your efforts so far.
