I recently rooted my first android phone with CM7. I'm extremely pleased with the result, but didn't realise that I'd lose the ability to reverse tether the phone over USB, because I'd no longer be using HTC sense.
I really don't want to go back to the stock rom just for reverse tethering, however the only way I could get internet at work was using the HTC sense 'internet passthrough' option on the phone, along with the sense software for windows.
Is there any way to reverse tether my android phone over USB (not wifi) while running Cyanogenmod 7? I'd like to avoid using my data plan when I can.
I as well have the same data cap issue with my carrier and would like to minimize my data usage. I'd prefer to have the reverse USB tethering option since open WIFI networks can leave your data exposed. I particularly don't care for HTC sense and can't seem to depart from my rooted cyanogenmod 7 ROM at this time.
Tethering not working anymore due to Sense not there

Same thing happens on me with cm7 latest nightly, wont connect to internet even the data was there, at sense rom, it runs well.
Any fix? Cause i love cm7 simplicity and smoothness, dont wanna flash another because of this. And i have promotion bonus from my carrier which gives 4Gb data this month
My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
Hello, I use my unlimited data as home wifi, and have been for a while, but I am always afraid that somehow the veri$on tether app (more like fee) will somehow trigger, right now I am using the TikTak rom (for around 10 minutes) and it seems like it's not in this rom at all (the verizon tether deal) can anyone confirm if this is the case, or point me to another rom that doesn't have it?
I'm not real particular with my roms, as long as everything major works and I can still tether. my default is the stock rom just rooted, I like sense and all it's features (though I don't use them all) but am as I said impartial.

tiKtaK has working native wifi tethering and bypasses/does not trigger any Verizon specific restrictions.
Hopefully that answers your question...?

Really? I didn't see that on there, I had a .apk for FoxFi on my storage, and it didn't seem to work on tiktak, so I switched back to wifi tether (the app) I'll pry a little more into that and see how well the native tether works.
also, is there a way to turn off fastboot in tiktak? I had trouble booting into recovery.
I'm getting ready to switch over from my current cell phone - an Incredible - to an Incredible 2. I had to unlock the bootloader to downgrade in order to root it - all that worked fine.
Now I've flashed a Paranoid Android ROM of Jelly Bean 4.1.1, and after doing my research, I'm seeing that wireless tethering is not working in JB!!! At least using the wireless tethering app.
I currently tether with the wireless-tether app in the DINC1, and I must continue to wireless tether on the DINC2.
I really want to use a newer version of Android...
In my trying to make it work, I've used all the various versions of wireless tether ("wifi_tether_v..."), both the "stock" ones and the "Treve" mods, trying all the settings-combinations as well as power cycling, not using the wireless encryption, netd(ndc) mode, etc., etc.. So far, nothing I've tried works.
However...I don't have the 3G/Cell service turned on yet in the phone.
So here's the actual question in this post: Would tethering fail because the cell/data service is not turned on?
Running pa_vivow-2.57.3-20130303-100902-ChillyBean.zip, with gapps-jb-20120714.zip.
And of course, I've seen that the built-in tethering app in the pa ROMs is supposed to work - but I can't test that because those menus don't appear under wireless until cell service is turned on!
I can't switch phones until I know that wireless tethering will work.
Any advice/knowledge regarding tethering requiring cell service to be enable in order to test? Or if the built-in "Hotspot" functionality will work in the pa-ROM?
Or do I have to try find a 4.3 ROM rather than the 4.1.1 ROM - so far I'm fairly sure there's no pa-ROM that's 4.3 for the DINC2...
I am looking for a ROM for a t-mobile HTC one M9 that is android 5.1. Currently I have android 6.0 with viper rom installed. My problem is I need unlimited tethering and I can no longer do that without hiding my tether usage. I used to be able to tether by USB all I wanted on another HTC phone but that was running android 5.1. I have Metro PCS and I wou.d use PdaNet and it worked perfectly.I looked for a long time and tried a lot of things to hide the my tether but nothing works. I head read that you can no longer do it with marshmallow 6.0 and you need to run 5.1 or possibly some other version just not 6.0. I am not 100% sure that is true or what the deal is on why I can no longer hide my tether but it makes sense. The phone I am using is a t-mobile phone although I am not totally sure if that matters either. If someone can help please let me know it is greatly appreciated.
No one knows about this? Regardless of the methods needed ultimately I just need to be able to tether without using my hotspot allotment of data.
