Is there a rom (or program, app, etc.) that allows internet pass-through other than the new sense 3.0 roms that have come out? (the new roms are kinda laggy) I need something to where I can hook up my DInc to my android tablet via USB and use the 3G from my phone to power the internet on my tablet, via the pass-through. Any ideas?
Why not do it wirelessly? I've always had good luck with the app "wireless tether". You can use it on whatever rom you please.
by pass-through do you mean usb tether?
You could try the Synergy RLS1 ROM, it is a 2.1/3.0 hybrid and doesn't have the lag of the pure 3.0 ROMs.
pdanet is a good app for usb tethering. You need to pay for it if you want to access https sites, but it's worth it. Will charge phone while connected.
I want a wired connection because its constant, and a little faster. And yes, I mean tether. I know how to wireless tether, I'd just rather have it corded via USB. Is that the only rom you can think of? Just curious. An aosp rom would be nicer.. quicker.(that's partially why I was looking for an app as well, because you can pick your own rom.)
And I don't want to pay anything haha.
Keep the ideas coming!

First post. So, I have a Evo but I won a iPad (wifi only) online the other day and i'm thinking about keeping it or selling it. I know Sprint has a Hotspot option that you can use on the phone but I don't want to pay $30/month for it which is crazy in my opinion. I downloaded EasyTether off the appstore so I can tether for free which is great on my laptop, but if I keep the iPad and take it around with me i want to be able to get online with it, so it would be great to have the Hotspot functionality on my phone. I know you can activate hotspot functionality by rooting the Evo, but I just updated to 2.2 and as far as I am aware there is no 2.2 root option yet.
So in the meantime I guess I was just wondering if anyone who has a iPad uses the Evo's hotspot functionality. I was also curious in general how it performs over 3G with wifi devices and if there is any option like Easy Tether so you can use hotspot functionality for free until there is a root for 2.2 on Evo?
Thanks for any input/answers and I look forward to contributing to the forums.
If You Root Your Phone You'd Now Be Able To Use Froyo (2.2) With Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre7 I'm Actually Posting This From My LapTop On Fresh 3.1.0.1 Using The Above Named Wireless Tether.. My Girl's Cousin Has A WiFi Only Ipad And I Was Letting Him Use My Wifi Tether To Connect And It Was Working Flawlessly.. Congrats On Winning The IPad
We took a trip to the mountains a week ago. I used the EVO hotspot utility to connect my laptop and my wife's ipad and my son's ipod touch to the internet all at the same time! Worked like a charm! just remember to change the default setting at set a new SSID and password.
I believe that if you can connect with your laptop you should be able to connect with your iPad. I've always been able to connect with my iPad whether it was adhoc or AP mode.
Well i started paying for the 30 bucks option becuase the free wifi cap my speeds real bad and i was rooted back then but now im stock with rooted icons wierd but dont work but works awsome the hotspot for me i have 3 360 coneected amd 2 ps3 and my msi netbook connected and works bad ass i love it yea some lag but it ok for me

Well, I can connect my Laptop to my Evo via USB using EasyTether Lite so I can get online with my laptop for free but I need free Hotspot functionality so I can use it with my iPad, but idk what I could do since I updated my Evo to 2.2.
I don't know if this will help you but there is a chance you can downgrade your Evo and then root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
hold your ipad differently, or buy a case.

I find people that type with caps on the first letter of every word to be very annoying. And there's no point.

I know that iPods (3rd gen) aren't able to connect to AP networks, since I've hosted from my laptop before and it couldn't see it.

If you want the iPad, keep it. It sound like the iPad can connect to even AP infrastructure networks. Although I'm pretty sure the Hotspot app, and wireless tether, both aren't AP network (although I don't know what it hosts, that's not my area ).
Basically, Hotspot would work if you felt like $30. Otherwise I'd wait for 2.2 to get rooted.
I honestly don't know what I'm saying anymore cause I'm watching tv and writing this. And there's models...
Oops I wasn't aware that EasyTether was done through USB. In that case, since you don't have root and upgraded to 2.2, you can either set up internet sharing on your laptop and connect using adhoc mode, or pay the $30 for the official tethering.

or you can pay $0 to root your phone, install any 2.2 ROM, and use android wifi tether.
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Either 1: Open up your Apps page and look for the widget "Wi-Fi Hotspot" (on my Desire it is placed just before the YouTube widget"
or 2: open Settings, Wireless & networks and select "Portable Wi-fi Hotspot"
This has allowed me to connect my iPad via my Desire's data connection.
the desire on official froyo unrooted has a hotspot widget preinstalled as mentioned above.
my friends iphone and laptop spotted it fine. so no reason why an ipad wouldnt find it.
i note that evo can connect to many devices as can be seen from other posts here, but the htc desire has a max limit of 2 devices via the wifi hotspot at a time, although i dont know if you could connect more devices by using usb tether and bluetooth tether at the same time too. you dont need apps from anywhere for wifi or usb tether on 2.2 official version. i dont know if 2.2 allows bluetooth tether but if satnav devices can piggy back to net connection on phones i dont see why tethering cant be done but might be slow. there are apps on cnet for wifi and blueetooth tethering (cnet editor reviewed apps).
I believe the Sprint approved version of Froyo has Android WiFi removed and replaced by their own app.
Now that it's possible to root, I installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9.
My iPad connects, but no Internet access!
Ipad works fine
I use the Wireless Tether with my IPAD all the time works great I am using Fresh 3.3.0.1
Hotspot and wireless tether are both AP, zune hd doesn't do adhoc and i was able to connect to my evo with it
I have a simple question is there a way you can use the stock android tethering in a sense rom. While using a Sense rom with the wired(didn't work) and wireless tethering I preferred the tethering on CM6. Using PDANet was ok but the whole having to start on my phone and connect on my pc was kind of annoying. Also can we get the HTC camera from sense to work on stock Android. I'm pretty sure it has to have a sense framework installed but the camera is better than the stock Android one
Install this ROM/Includes Sense, Burnt Droid v1.2 and you will have what you want. Connect the phone to your laptop/desktop, select "USB tethering" and away you go.
With My phone connected to my LinkSys Wireless N router I am getting 11.65(down) and 3.78 (up), loving life.
Which rom?
I know it works with CM for wired and wireless. I'm using bakedsnack right now, meaning I'm having to use pdanet.

just download the pre9 release off of google

I'm still using EasyTether from when I was to lazy to root my hero and it works great. I prefer wired tethering to wifi because I don't have to worry about battery or other people getting on my connection. When I use it I only want it on my laptop anyway.
I cannot get the USB Tethering native to CM7 (7.0.2.1 on Evo) to work with my Mac (10.6).
Does anyone know how to get them to play nice?
My Growl hardware notifier shows 'Android modem' as a new device ... but it does not appear in network prefs or anywhere else.
Thanks!
Download "wired tether" from the market. Can't say it'll work with your mac, but I can't get the built in (cm7) usb tethering to work either.
I am on my MacBookPro right now, using the WiFi tether built into CM7. When my battery gets low, I just plug it into the usb port to charge, but leave it on Wireless tether. Works like a charm. Now, if only I had 4G coverage.
The Sprint "tweaked" WiFi tether on Deck's AOSP ROM works fine on my GF's MacBook Pro.....
I have no problem with WiFi tethering ... just wanted to use USB.
But from the fairly extensive searching I've done, it seems to be impossible, because Mac doesn't support something called RNDIS (which the 'wired tether' app requires as well.)
Oh, well...
I have searched Google and anything I find involves using wireless tether with laptops or how to get the app. Can anyone tell me if you can use it on a home pc? If so, point me in right direction or noob guide to get it to work. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
If youre lookin for the app just go to market and search barnacle wifi tether or wireless tether I use barnacle wifi thether with no problems both are free
The rom i'm on has it. I'm just trying to figure out if I can connect to use on my desktop, and if so what I need to give it a go. My pc doesnt appear to have a wifi network built in. So, wasn't sure if possible. Sorry, I'm a complete noob with this stuff.
Yes it's does work wireless tether. It does work you don't have to worry I tether my droid to my htc evo with wireless tether and my ipad and my bros ipod 4g when were goin to a far away place
You might also want to give wired tether a go i heard if you connect the usb to ur computer and you use the app on your phone it uses ur 3g/4g and it will give u internet on your pc

Thanks alot for the link. I'll give it a try.
did it work?
Yes thanks. Slower than cable connection obviously but working. Was thinking about cancelling internet but not til figure something else a little quicker. That's why I was thinking wifi but my desktop doesn't have it built in. I have pc,evo, even netgear router. Just seems like I'm missing something. Wish I was more tech savy for stuff like this. But thanks again for the help.

Hey guys,
since i'm moving often, workwise, and don't have the luxury of great DATA speeds via my Phone often, and neither the Option to pair my Wifi with local hotspots or Routers in Companys.. i'd love a solution for the play.
So far i've tried
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-793102.html - Failed
I'm currently running CM7 (FXP Edition release 41 i believe) and it does NOT come with that option, though i've read that CM7 doas come with it on some devices.
Any help appreciated!
(BTW - a PORTABLE solution would be preferable, since it's Client PCs i'm sitting on mostly.)
My answer would be Yes, on whatever is possible. I guess any rooted rom could get that feature.

I have the same issue... I'm considering connecting my netbook with an ethernet cable and using the wifi to connect to my phone.
I haven't seen anyone successfully use ICS on Windows 7 to reverse tether to an Android phone through USB. (we use Windows 7 at work)
I think you need to enable RNDIS in kernel, for example to compile it as module.
Ive used connectify while i was on vacation.
You can turn your wifi adapter into a hotspot and put a password on it so you can connect your phone to your laptop while your laptop is connected to another wireless network (get it ?)
see http://www.connectify.me/
Well the thing is, I am usually connected via cable. So wifi is not an option.
