well alot of the roms have wifi tethering preinstalled.. your best bet is to decide what type of rom to get and find which rom in that section has your tether
Go here .... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Download the app and keep it on your SD card
Install when the ROM you flash does not have it pre-installed
It's that easy.

Now which Rom are you running that comes with Wifi Tether? And the latest and pre3-test3 versions of the wifi tether app you linked to don't work on my Slide... I am running CM Nightly 8/12/2010. USB Tether doesn't work for my laptop either though. I have both Ubuntu and Win7 on it and neither will connect over USB or Wifi when I use any tether app I have tried so far. Tried Barnacle and the Wifi Tether app on google.code and of course tried the USB tether in CM. Any ideas?
T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
ROM: CM Nightly
ADW Theme: Stickers
try either eugene's froyo or teamfenix. both have tether working.

I have a stock evo with the newest firmware update of the 4.51.651.1. I flashed the superuser and am using rooted apps. I searched the forum high and low for this and cannot find it. I need to see what version of wifi-tether to use. I have tried the newest beta and it fails to connect. I tried the latest stable and it fails. I cannot get a version that will allow me to connect with a stock rom. Is someone able to give me a heads up here?
check it out

go to the market and dl the app called free wifi tether. however if you prefer to install an aosp rom that already comes with built in free wifi tether then just click in the link in my sig. feel free to ask any questions you may have in my thread. Hope i helped ^_^

I just got the Epic 4G Touch and I used QBKing77 How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch on EL29 and it works great, phone rooted flawlessly. Then I used his How to get free WiFi Hotspot on the Samsung Epic Touch 4G and it installed and starts up perfectly, however it does not show up on any of the wifi lists that are available (laptop, phone, computer) I tried changing some settings in the app, I can not figure out why either its not broadcasting or why its just not showing up on any list of networks.
Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Joe
If its giving you issues download FoxFi from the market or Wireless tether from google. Did you just go to the Apps section and download wifi tethering and flash it. Honestly its pretty straight forward, May I also suggest you just download a rom with it in it... Preferable not an ICS because if this is an issue for you, ICS can really mess your day up if not done right.
Go into Development and choose a rom from Blazer, Calkulin or any of those guys just please make sure its a Gingerbread rom(based on 2.3.x). They all have tether baked in already
Wifi tether requires Superuser right. Did you see the superuser permission being asked when you started wifi tether?
The easiest way is checking it from superuser app. Goto the app drawer and click on superuser. It will show you every applications that allowed to have superuser right.
If you do not see the superuser app, then there's something wrong with your rooting.

I got it from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
and I have the latest version 3.1 BETA11
I wanted to try it without downloading a ROM just to see how it works, should it work as a stand alone?
I just installed Clockworkmod but no ROM yet, waiting to see if I can get it to work as a "stand alone"
Thanks for the help

With this app you need to change the device type to Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE for it to work.

I just tryed that and it still does not show up
it seems like something is missing even you did not see any issue during the install.
Do you know the busybox installed on your rooted phone?

Don't know what that is, how do I check?
It seems like you're on the same route - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387474
If you want to check Busybox is installed, check the link in here -
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/24081-how-do-i-know-if-i-have-busybox.html but if you are not familiar with all these steps, you'd better to get already rooted and busybox included roms.
you have to choose Samsung Galaxy Nexus CMDA on the Device Profile to work.
Hope it helps
Thanks for your help everyone, but thanks to QBKing77 all I had to do was get an older version of the wifi app and now it works perfectly
BIG THANKS TO QBKing77
Uninstall abd reinstall. Change its profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus(lte/cdma) and try again. I believe the Darkstar or MIJJZ Blend rom threads have links and further instructions.

Now unlocked Sprint Hotspot works on FC18 Calk's tweaked ROM. Try it!
It also works on Blend 2.5.

What version did you have to use?
try installing Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.6. I was able to use this on mine and my wife's epic touch's.
Honestly though Foxfi would of handled all your problems and it works great rooted or non rooted with our devices
I cant get wifi tether working on the newest ma6 update ,, does anyone else have it working
More info is needed. What kernel. And are you trying to use the sprint hotspot or third party app.

And are you using the WiFi Tether for Root (which also did not work on LJ7 or are you using the version that was modified to work by TrevE?

Under Settings, Click on More..
There is a Mobile Hotspot feature.. No need for Wifi tether
I used the Wifi Tether app on 4.12 and after the upgrade I am no longer able to use the app to tether. After a while I got the Sprint Hotspot app working but I would rather use the Wifi Tether app to connect as it offers more control.
What could block the app from starting a hotspot?

give it some time, 4.3 is only a few weeks "old" here.
Its going to take a little time to redo the code, as many changes were made going from 4.1.2 to 4.3
Which WiFi Tether app you were using?

Had the same issue here. I was using WiFi tether TrevE mod.

I used pretty much everything out there and in pretty much all configuaration settings - Nothing. Still, got the internal hotspot working but I wish I could see again what I transmit

You guys can just use the hacked native hotspot
It's a lot more stable too

I’m using the Hotspot mod by Rocket321 (MK3 Odex). On a stock rooted 4.3 ROM. After being idle or having no connections the hotspot app is turning off. Is this normal? Can I force it to stay enabled?

Yeah TrevE Mod no good on 4.3 Stock CF Auto Root
I really like this app but I guess like someone else said here, there's something not jiving with the code for 4.3?? any clues as to when an updated version will be released? I did the OTA update lost root, re rooted and now TrevE Mod doesnt work. Help!

Is there a way to just get the hack stock hot spot without having to use that ROM? Does this only work if you're using that ROM that goes with it? Can it be used on Stock Samsung Rom 4.3?

You need to have a custom recovery to flash it, but other than that you can use it on stock MK3, no need to be on that rom
Just make sure you flash the right version (odex/deodex)

Trying it now. I flashed CWM v6.x something and installed the odexed version (correct one) and now phone is rebooting. Lets see how this goes...lol
Lost root upon rebooting the phone. Back to where I was on STOCK RECOVERY and STOCK Samsung MK3 ROM. How can I retain root, and have CWM recovery? I tried SkunkApes method, that way gives custom recovery but i lose root. CF auto root gives root, but stock recovery. ????

While in recovery, flash aroma file browser and delete these files
Code:
/system/etc:
install-recovery.sh
recovery-resource.dat
Custom recovery should stick after that
For su, flash the supersu recovery install zip
I know everyone here wants a free solution but if you're rooted and really need free WiFi tethering I got WiFi Tether Router from the Google Play store and it works great. It's two bucks but it's worth two bucks to me. Especially since I didn't install a custom recovery so I have no way to flash anything. This app just works with your rooted phone.
I remember all the headaches of getting TrevE working when I was in 4.1.2. Two bucks is worth the aggravation of not having to go through that again.

In case anyone has trouble getting this working, these are the settings I used, which were supplied by the developer:
For Samsung Galaxy S3 use this config:
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApda
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Again, not free but for two bucks and no more headaches, it was well worth it for me.
Forgive me if this is answered somewhere else.. I can't find it.
If one were to use the stock hotspot app.. How would/does the carrier track hotspot usage? Additionally, is there a better app to use which prevents being tracked?
Thanks in advance.
I've posted this before but I caved in and bought WiFi Tether Router for two bucks - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
It works flawlessly on rooted 4.3 and is well worth it for two dollars. I know we all like free options but sometimes a cheap app is worth the investment. If you find a good modded wifi app you should probably make a donation to the developer anyway so call it even.
