Barnacle Wifi Tethering

So now that the GSII is rooted. I was attempting to use Barnacle but it doesn't seem to function. Anyone else try this? I'm using Barnacle so I don't have to pay $15/month for the Tethering feature.

Why not use the standard hotspot software in the settings menu? That works with error of you remove the tethering manager app.

+1 if you freeze/uninstall the Tethering Manager app with Titanium Backup, tethering instantly works like it should.

Thanks I never knew that the Tethering Manager was what prevented tethering.

use wifi data to hotspot

I've been searching around for a while now trying to figure out how to tether a wifi connection thru wifi hotspot without mobile connection. cm7 won't let me. everything i see is for tethering a mobile connection.

Stock ROM defaults to the wifi I've done it and even made a thread about it

CM7.1 (and I believe CM7) has a Portable WiFi Hotspot feature, it's in the tethering section of the wireless/network settings

Yes. I'm aware of the tethering settings in cm7.1, thank you. You didn't properly read my post. I want to tether a Wifi data Conncection over wifi WITHOUT HAVING A MOBILE CONNECTION. As in no 5g,4g,3g, or even 2g data.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood.
So you're basically trying to use your device as an external wireless adapter for a computer that doesn't have wireless built in?

to be honest...i'm having a problem with my landlord having a problem with my service provider. i'm using my neighbors wifi. but it only really comes into one room well. i'm hoping to use my device to extend the signal to the other rooms. it has no data plan. but CM7 turns wifi off when you tether over wifi. i think I've gotten this to work on my g1 using pdanet but its really unstable, and i think its the app.

Haven't done this in awhile : tethering:

Last time I used tethering was with Sprint's EVO. I am now on T-mobile, rooted with just a 2GB plan. Am I still able to tether for free?

Not unless you're running a capable ROM. If you're stock, it'll be extra.

It's tethering manager if you're tethering via USB cable. It's wifi sharing/wifi manager if you're tethering via wifi hotspot. He's not wrong, and neither are you.

Interesting, so I froze all3.

wont removing these effect your ability to use the hotspot feature?
Says in this thread that wifi sharing and sharing manager are related to the hotspot feature (Fts.apk and Ftm.apk).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421683
Can anyone clarify if these are safe to remove?

I just tested on digital warfare using wifi tethering with and without wifi sharing and wifi manager frozen. It works both ways. I do not know if this is the case universally because I know tdj took tethering manager out by default and I don't know if he made mods allowing to use wifi tethering without removing those apps. Bottom line: removing those does not compromise your ability to use wifi tethering. But to be safe, you should just freeze them instead of remove so if you do find they do something critical then you can restore them

i read a bunch of threads regarding this. deleted wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager (nandroided first obviously).
will report back if there are any problems. just tethered and watched some vids online. kies air also ran... dont see any issues yet.

Ok, because I was wanting to use it for my ps3. Or is the wifi even compatible?

Any update since removing? Thanks!!

What update do you need? Its simple just freeze the apk with titanium and tether your heart out. Oh ya and I never freeze it , I just delete it and never had any issues.

Tmobile was offering a free tethering promotion for awhile there. All you had to do was call and get it added(just like with the free wifi calling promotion). It feels weird to tether without circumventing something Lolol.

Try "android-wifi-tether", version 3.1 beta 7. Go into settings and set device profile to the S2.
Worked fine for me this a.m.

So it appears to be working with android-wifi-tether however I permanently have the "Security policy restricts use of Internet Sharing" showing on my screen (when I activate the tether) until I reboot the phone, can anyone else on Juggs 5.0 confirm they have tethering manager in titanium backup or can they get Wifi Tethering to work without the feature added to their account?

Try the app barnacle wifi tether.

(Q) free wifi tethering

So I went to the (how to guide) here and it describes how to get it with the wifi tether app and being rooted... well ive done that mate.... and I check my t-mobile account and it still uses my 2.5 gigs of free wifi tethering.... is there another way?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

If you already have a plan with free tethering what exactly do you expect from this? If you use data, it's going to show up on your account as being used whether you are tethering or not.

I don't expect anything I just thought the WiFi tethering would show up on on my data plan which is unlimited. My tether plan is only 2.5 gigs plan. It does the same as the stock hotspot tethering. Which in turn renders that app "WiFi tethering" useless. Its no big deal just asking the guide said he could use unlimited WiFi tether and T-Mobile didn't charge him for unlimited use... that wasnt the case for me....

It works for all data going in and out of your phone. And it all depends on which vpn you choose. A lot of free ones slow down data speeds to keep it free. Paid ones do not.

If your with Tmobile... use the my tmobole account app
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

STEP 1
"STOCK ROM"
-download "1 click tether" from the market...this will force the internal tethering to turn on
OR
Run an AOSP rom, internal tethering is unlocked in aosp roms
STEP 2
once youve figured out step one, you should be able to tether, whether on aosp or tw ,it dont matter....only problem is, tmobile will soon block you because of your user agent on the computer
so you have two options...
1. download a browser on your computer that supports changing your user agent...chrome, firefox...ect...change the user agent to something other than windows...you can now use unlimited tethering on your browser.
NOW.....This will only give internet to the browser, not the computer globally...The only way to get global tethering on every program on the pc you'd have to set up a VPN...via the phone or via pc...VPN's are usually not free thou
My setup
-Running CM10 ROM
-Using the internal tethering option in the rom
-I use google chrome
-In google chrom i use this extension called "user agent switcher" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf
-everytime i open google chrome i change the user agent to "safari on mac"
DONE

Yes try vpn hideman.
