Was wondering what ROMs out there for the DINC will support the VZW native Wifi hotspot app? Android Wifi tether has become unreliable for me, but don't I don't want to give up the MANY benefits of runnig a custom ROM. So what ROMs out there with support the stock WIFIRouter.apk?
Thanks!
Use a FroYo AOSP ROM--they have built-in Wi-Fi tethering. CM7 is a good idea, as is Ruby.
I would say omgb or omfgb they both work great

Sense roms support the official one like I use virtuous and I have the actually 3g hotspot

Everyone says WiFi tether is faster and better, but I have problems with it some times to.
For example, on some ROMs with wifitether, I can't connect to my exchange server. Remote desktop doesn't work either.
I get this same problem connect to exchange and remote desktop to office with some motel WiFi as well. Never really figured it out.
I like the stock WiFi router as well. Always connect my laptop to work. Exchange and remote desktop.

Hey everyone, i know that when the cm7rc1 came out, the wireless tether app didn't work and broke the stock tether app..anyone know if a recent version of Wireless Tether fixes that? That is the most important thing keeping me from CM7

I use the built in wireless tether just fine... no need for other apps.

Is anyone able to connect to internet using barnacle wifi on your phone. My thrive doesn't see the connection. It can find the connection to the paid tether but not barnacle.

Barnacle won't work without rooting your thrive. Google wifi tether download and look for the latest beta. It did the trick for me.

Barnacle uses ad-hoc which is not native to the Thrive. If you root the device, there is a patch for ad-hoc support.

There are two options here root your thrive and install the new wpa file or get your rooted phone to run in ap mode instead of adhoc mode. wif tether is now running ap mode if you have the right kernal and hardware to use it
I'm trying to watch Netflix on my PS3 via Epic 4G Touch using Wifi Tether, but the Playstation doesn't see my rooted S2 when searching for connections. When trying this with my EVO 3D, the Playstation sees it just fine. In fact I'd use the EVO except for the fact I can't maintain a good enough 4G connection to stream from it while my S2 is able to get a stronger, more consistent 4G connection. Is there any way to setup a wireless connection between the PS3 & S2 using Android Tether, Wifi Tether, or the like for a 4G connection using only the phone (no router) as the hotspot? I can connect to other devices without issue. Any help is appreciated.
TIA!

Wifi tether uses an ad-hoc connection which the ps3 will not connect to. As far as I know, none of the wifi applications will tether using 4G and infrastructure. The hot spot hack uses a infrastructure connection and will connect to the ps3, but is only 3G for now.

Thanks demonlordoftheround.
Hmm. Yes as you said, I can wireless tether the PS3 over 3G (too slow here) with my S2, just not 4G. So I'm guessing this is a hardware limitation on my ET4G as opposed to the EVO then? Because I am able to use Wireless Tether with a 4G signal from my EVO to the Playstation. The EVO just won't maintain the 4G connection like the Samsung. Is this something a future software/firmware update could fix on the PS3 side? I'm trying to decide if I should continue my Netflix subscription or not as this is my only internet connection.

The other way you can do this is by using a laptop. Simply go to the connections settings on your laptop and bridge them. Then just tether ur phone to the laptop and plug the ethernet cable from pc to ps3. There is a youtube video on how to do this.

That might work using the wired tether google app. Wired tether works on 4G. I had tried to do this once but couldn't get the bridged connection to work. Don't have the ps3 anymore so I never followed up.

Maybe a difference in xbox and ps3, but I can tether via wireless tether to my xbox using 4g. I get Netflix, hulu, and can play games online with no problem. Wireless tether is basically the same as wifi tether with using ad-hoc. Wireless tether isn't in the market though, its been blocked by all of the carriers. Its in the blackmart app.

Yes. Bridge your connection to a PC then pass-thru to ps3 with cat5/Ethernet cable. E4GT... it only takes a few minutes & you'll be able to tether on 4g connection!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Will definitely be trying this. One question: can I still use the hotspot from my phone to wirelessly tether the bridged laptop and then ethernet out from the laptop to the PS? I currently have no issues when connecting wirelessly to the laptop from the GS2 while on 4G. The reason I ask is because I can only get the 4G signal with the phone sitting on a window sill and the PS3 & TV aren't even close to it.

Yes. I'd used pdanet (wired tether for more consistency w/ online gaming ) but it'll work with your current set up.

Or you should grab the new sprint hotspot hack (thanks maddoggin) http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showt...L13-Deodex-Odex-Hotspot-Mod?p=15886#post15886
Now 4G works... The standard WI~FI tether app is only adhoc but the hack sprint hotspot is infrastructure so ps3 will recognize it!

This!
Nice find DaMV-P! You (& maddoggin) just made my day! I've been hoping someone could get our native tethering to work with 4G. This totally resolves all my issues. :-D
Thank you so much!

I'm trying to tether from ics to my xoom also running ics the only way I can do it is with the hacked sprint hotspot which works if I want to run gingerbread which I do not. Can't get the bluetooth pan tether to work either. I haven't found much about this in my searches.
ICS ROMs have built in tethering. Settings>More>tethering
