I have done some searching and tried several free apps and can not get this to work. I am trying to tether wirelessly my Tilt with Polymod 2.1g to a new Eken M001 android tablet. Has anyone gotten this to work?
tethering will be available on android 2.2
Did someone say 2.2?

I found an APP that will do this but can't get it to work. It si called Barnacle Wifi Tether. Can anyone try this and assist?
root required for WIFI tether
All of the apps incl barnicle need ROOT to work. 2.1 is not rooted, so it seems either return to 1.6 (like Myns warm donut) or wait for 2.2. There seems to be a hack for the other devices that involves loading a rooted 2.0 and using a custom upgrade to 2.1 but nothing for the hacked roms for Kaiser and the like. I need this infrequently so now to decide do I return to 1.6 just for that.
android wired tether
I'm running incubus's super fast eclair and have installed easytether (free version) on my computer and phone. and also installed android-wired-tether. it disconnects when downloading files sometimes but running the two apps together while in recovery mode has been my best success so far.
HOW :O

How is 2.1 not rooted then? i thought our versions were, and if not we could make them rooted.

I installed the wireless tether app along with a kernal i was told to install from a youtube tutorial "/watch?v=juQbWzxIzmI&feature=fvw" anyhow it all installed fine and the tethering worked great. but after restarting phone it just continued to say "preparing phone storage, checking for errors" and my camera wasn't working either. So I ended up reflashing the 2.2 froyo rooted of course. Everything is working fine now. I'm guessing that the issue came from the app or kernal not being updated to work with froyo? Is there another way to get free tethering on my phone?
anyone know the reason why I cant auto update these things on custom roms? tried several roms but none allow me to update, just the stock rooted ota 2.2 allows me to.
I don't know if this will help you, but I had a similar issue with not being to update other programs. I found that it was because the program was running in the background, so I did a force close on those programs and it worked fine.
thats weird, it did not work for me...I cant install the extra widgets either..i'm currently using bakedSnack 1.5...love the rom though
im on fresh 3.2, sucessfully updated voice, qik and sprint tv.
Hi,
I rooted my EVO (temporary root using z4root 1.3). Installed wireless tether from market. Not sure of the version. Ran with defaults. Could not see the device from GTAB. Tried my notebook I am able to see and connect to my device but no internet. Network status says limited or no connectivity. Upgraded wireless tether to latest experimental version from google site.. still the same result. (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre15.apk). I know my phone is rooted as I get messages saying I am super user.
1)Whats the wireless tether version that is working for others on EVO?
2)Is there any other setup needed on the EVO for this to work ?
thanks
Can anyone tell me how to get Wifi Teather to work with an ICS kernel ? I don't want a non-root solution that requires some additional software on the clients, and if possible, i'd avoid having to install some non-ICS ROM.
I've wasted a whole day but always run into the same issue:
rooted GB works fine: Download "Wifi Teather" from market, configure for Device Profile "Samsung Galaxy S2", perfect!
Using rooted ICS (I927UCLJ3_I927UCALJ3_I927UCALJ3_HOME.tar.md5), same configuration of "Wifi Teather" results in a
red "failed" in "Enabling NAT rules". Everything else stays green. And of course this means that clients can tether with the glide, but they do not get routed correctly (eg: can ping only the glide but nothing further from the tethered client).
This was the rooted stock ICS installed from Odin after clear data/cache/dalvik, format root. I also tried to apply the tethering fix for the leaked ICS kernel (i927_9SEP12_tetheringFix.zip) (of course after another clear data/cache/dalvik/format-root). And i tried to overwrite the kernel with LiteKernel-4.0-20130121.zip, and i tried to remove with Titanium Backup the Tethering Manager apk.
All this stuff did not change the output of "Wifi Teather" at all.
Then i install IcePop ROM, and "Wifi Tether" works fine there, no problems with "Enabling NAT rules". Alas, i can not use IcePop because it has removed Exchange Email, and thats one of those pieces you can not re-install from market or backup AFAIK.
So, what the heck is needed to make "Wifi Tether" work with stock ICS rooted ? Does it work at all ? I've been reading forum posts up and down the wazoo, but any claims to it working have been very unspecific.
*sigh*
Interesting
Been playing around a bit more:
The stock ICS built-in Wifi Hotspot option (under settings) does actually work fine once i applied i927_9SEP12_tetheringFix.zip. Before installing that fix a popup window from the provider comes up telling me i should pay $611/min - or some other text with the number 611, can't quite remember .
But the "Wifi Tether" app does not work with stock ICS neither before nor after installing of that framework fix. I wonder whether this indicates an error in the "Wifi Tether" app. Then again, it works in IcePop.
Wrt. to the way the provider sees or does not see tethering - does it make a difference whether one uses the built-in tethering option or the external app "Wifi Tether"
Learning by doing
So, now i flashed dmans stock ICS rom UCL33-ATT-NEW.zip from here, and lo and behold, the "Wifi Tether" app works, and the build-in tether option does of course not work (not applied the framework fix).
So... The only difference over the real stock update from ATT (rooted with su binary) seems to be that dmans stock is deodexed, zipaligned and batch optimized. "Wifi Tether" is stating that it's installing some stuff binaries et. al. Is it possible that it fails to do so on a system thats not deodexed/xipaligned or batch optimized ? I don't quite understand this.
Root is done, but can't get wifi tether working on stock JB 4.3 on T-Mobile. I tried both Wifi Tether Router and Wifi Treve Mod 3.3 pre, but they don't work. It seems like the issue is on the mobile hotspot installed which cannot be uninstalled on any apps: tried Titanium, Root App Delete, Root Explorer and other. Please help. ROM flash was not needed on JB 4.1.2.
None of the wifi tether apps work on 4.3 ( I mean NONE!, lol). The way I got around it was to root the 4.3 and flash a 4.1.2 rom that has the hot spot hacked built in. I used JEDI X18 and the built in hot spot worked with no issues. Hope this helps.
flash version 2.1 and the tethering fix
