Something I've noticed in AOSP ROMs vs Sense is the USB tethering option. I was wondering if anyone has made a Sense ROM with this feature built in, or if it's even possible. As I have come to love the speed of AOSP ROMs, sometimes I like to go back to the smooth feel of Sense; however, I am a Linux user, and none of the USB tethering apps in the market will work with Linux. As my aircard is crapping out on me, I've come to rely on my DInc for internet access(no other form of broadband is available where I live). Any help on this topic is much appreciated.
Thanx,
~Jim

+1 on this app
It tethers much quicker than the aosp tethering app but it does cost $10
And it works with Linux

You can use wired tether, http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list, but you have to have RNDIS built into the kernel. The kernels I've been building recently have it built in already. There was an issue with the RNDIS code in the HTC INC release, don't know why, but I was able to get it fixed by using the code from the Bravo release and it now compiles with it.

You can also use a DUN method to usb tether(for sure works on sense roms). Just gotta edit some values in EPST, and have the right drivers.
I use the easytether lite, which is the free version of easytether. It just doesn't have the ability to use https. If I really really need to use https I can just use my phone or wireless tether, so it's not a huge deal.
Wireless tether always made my phone hella-hot. Easytether makes it warm, as does any continuous use, but nothing extraordinary.

So I'm using your kernel and wired tether 1.4 and it won't work. I can see the numbers going up either way but I'm not able to get an internet connection.
PDAnet works great as well, and shows SMS messages on your computer in an IM format, allowing you to compose and receive texts using your full sized keyboard.

Did you start Wired Tether, then plug the phone in? Or did you start it with the phone plugged in? I've used the tether quiet abit since I built RNDIS in, and it works great.

If you edited your settings to use mobile hot spot that came with 2.2, go into your wireless and network settings. Mobile broadband connect is for usb.

I think you need some kind of driver installed on the pc though... Htc diag...

+1 on PDANet. I have it on all my phones, paid version.
Works well for Inet access backup at work. As a matter of fact our Inet access went down yesterday and we used our phones as backup(s).
Well worth the $$.
Nice tardis

I started wired tether then plugged in. Could there be a driver issue?

I am using RR 2.1 and tried downloading wired tether.
When i open it for the firs ttime it crashes.
When i open it the second time in launches but wont work just FC every time I click on the tether button in the app.
Kinda weird... not sure whats up.
This is v1.4
The Sense 2.0 ROM ported from the Desire Z has the same USB Tether feature (through RNDIS) as the AOSP roms.

any particular reason you do this over the built in wired tether in AOSP Froyo?
is it possible to use an EVO on my computer as Bluetooth, like the WiFi tether but Bluetooth?
E.G: EVO usb to windows 7 64-bit (what I am using) and emulate a tether Bluetooth. I have a pair of B.T headphones and want to use them on my computer but don't have a B.T usb or internal B.T capability's.
Sry for the longness of this question just trying to get as much info in here as possible.
P.S using myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS) 5 Supersonic (as sense rom)
and Cyanogen-mod 7.0.3.1 with Nightlies 65 (for my bread and butter).
Have you tried using the wireless tether app, it allows you to use blue tooth tethering.

Well, I believe the printer should be able to find the wifi from the tether using wifi, I don't personally know if it'll detect it using blue tooth.
Thanks

unless you're paying for it, not applicable until we get root.
hang in there, we'll get it
You could use a no-root tether that requires drivers like EasyTether, which is incidentally on sale at Amazon today for 4.99:

I'm just planning on waiting for root, though.

it works on windows PC, Create a dial up connection, pick bluetooth DUN as the modem. start buetooth DUN in PDA net on your phone and have your PC dial #777. unfortunately if you are trying to send to a tablet your SOL.
Hello I have a S-Offed and rooted Droid Incredible 2 running stock 2.3.4. I also have an HP TouchPad. The TouchPad requires that it connects to "infrastructure mode" connections.
Now I know that the Incredible 2 is "hardware capable" of putting out an infrastructure mode output. I used the built in tether feature on CM7 without a hitch.
I'm wondering what I need to do to accomplish this with my phone on Sense? I want to run the stock ROM for now? Would flashing a new kernel help? If so does anybody have any recommendations for a good Sense kernel?
thanks for the help
Are you tethering? Barnacle wifi tether worked great for me on sense, and my touch pad is all I use tethering for.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
yeah I mean the TouchPad sees the hotspot, it just won't connect to it. That's exactly what it would do to my Droid, which would only do Ad-Hoc. Just need to figure out how to get it to do infrastructure mode.
Like I said I know this phone is capable of it. Just need to figure out how.
thanks
Hi I have wifi only if I want to use on the move or where this is no wifi which USB 3g modem is recommended? Also I will need a USB to mini USB lead ?
Many thanks for your help.

If you have a Xoom, and don't have a mobile capable of wifi-hotspot or bluetooth tethering, you're not doing it right.
If you are stock/unrooted you cannot use a USB modem (3G or 4G) with your WiFi only Xoom. The easiest thing to do would be to get a 3G/4G hotspot so you can connect over WiFi anywhere you go. Obviously this costs more than just a USB modem, but it also has more flexibility. If I really wanted this functionality this is the route I would go.
If you are set on trying to get a USB modem working, you are going to have to root your Xoom and install one of the Developer ROMS. I have used the Team EOS (Tiamat in the beginning) roms and with an older Honeycomb ROM some time ago I was successful in getting this to partially work. It is still pretty clunky as you have to build or buy an OTG cable to plug the USB modem into and then run some scripts in a shell window to load the driver and route the IP traffic. So yes it can be done, but it was difficult and just not very user friendly.
Here are some links to look into. Since this is all using pretty old ROMs I would not expect much support from the developers. I have not tried it on their latest JB roms, so who knows.
