i tested out all the wifi tethering apps and this one was by FAR the best. Fastest speeds. Easily allows 4g tethering. compared to barnacle, wifi tether, and wireless tether, and its Noticeably faster. I only tried it cuz I couldn't get the sprint hotspot hack on my ROM. So if you're in this group, or even not (speeds are very very comparable, if not faster, than sprint hotspot), TRY IT OUT!

Yeah I like this better then wifi tether, but they used the exact same layout as wifi tether, lol, thanks open source
I like this one as well, becuase my ipod can connect to it.
it is basically the same layout as wifi tether and a few others..but it doesnt need to activate sprint hotspot. whenever it did that for me i had serious issues. plus this one gives faster speeds

Yup, the old one would require a wipe cache/dalvik in order to use native Hotspot so it definately caused some conflict. Just ran YouTube and there was no freezing or lag

downloaded it but it gives me an error "unable to start tethering. Is your device 'rooted'" which it is, and wifi tether works fine (and yes, I am rooted). I'll have to play with it tomorrow and see if I can sort it out.

i think EH17 broke this app, i couldn't get it to broadcast a wifi connection and there is some text that comes up about a missing file in /data/.../ when i reinstalled.
It did that for me a few times, too, but when I re-launched the app*, it worked.
*relaunched as in, immediately after it gave me the error and closed; if you're using the Hurricane ROM, you should also download Root Checker from the Market - for some reason, even though BusyBox was supposed to be installed, it wasn't and I had to download a separate installer to make it all work.
Why does this app require permission to fine gps location?
Will try it. Hope it works better than wifi tether. Had it crash on me this weekend while power was out and totally destroyed my rom, not even restoring a back up would stop the force closes, also had journaling enabled.

Just keep your gps off lol. It's only required because the app requires root access. The app is safe...over 250,000 downloads and no complaints of safety issues

So if i keep my gps off i shouldnt worry about anything then?
what about when i do turn it on why does it want the permission to fine my gps what does it need to locate me gps info for?
just cause 250K have downloaded doesnt make it safe just maybe no one has cared or even bothered to see what permissions it ask for all they cared for was having wifi tethering

lol: "You can view a map of our current users of the tethering application for Android: Open garden Wifi Tether Map"
http://opengarden.com/map/
Just used apktool and ran diff -ur -I '^ \.line [0-9]*$' wireless_tether_2_0_7/smali/ og.android.tether/smali/.
Now I'm pissed off.
A This is clearly based on wireless tether 2.x. This is a GPL violation, as they do not provide source code. How is opengarden different? There is code pertaining to wakelock handling, and:
B Functions that collect your GPS location and device id. I've browsed through their site, and they (claim) to have a plan to create a free public mesh network, but:
C They fail to mention this in the market description, or the app itself.
Since this modified GPL app, I am perfectly within my rights to modify the app, so I have removed all code pertaining to stats collection (as well as the FINE_LOCATION permission), and am posting this fork here, on the assumption that the wakelock handling makes this thing worthwhile.
Enjoy.
Has anyone tested this on a GB rom?

I haven't been able to get tethering to work at all in stable, this is the first time using cyanogen, I didn't flash any RC's.
I wiped the cache and dalvik-cache and reflashed the rom twice.
If I don't turn on encryption my XP laptop connects but cannot get out anywhere.
If I turn on encryption, it never connects.
When I launch Wireless Tether the stock hotspot tethering icon appears in the taskbar along with the Wireless Tether icon and says "Click to configure".
I also tried the Stock HotSpot tethering app and that also did not work, same behavior.
I backed up and restored my APN's after it did not work to see if it helped but I had the same results.
I tried the stock kernal and also pershoot kernel and had the same results.
Wireless Tether is working fine on both stock rom and virtuous for me.
Any ideas?

TRY THIS!!! Don't use the market app at all.. it disables the stock app. Uninstall wireless tether, reboot... then run stock app.
sinistersai4d4d said:
Update: It just started working... I had to uninstall Wireless Tether App and reboot. If you attempt to run Wireless Tether App first it disables the stock tether app. The Wireless Tether market app is not functional in CM, which is kind of annoying but so long as I can tether I guess I can forgo the desktop icon. So for people having issues, make sure you aren't running the Wireless Tether Market App, and if you do run it, you have to reboot before being able to run the stock tethering app. Just uninstall the other app if you have it.

For an easy toggle, use the power widgets in the notification bar, and under CM settings enable the toggle "Wifi AP" to toggle wireless tether from the notification bar easily.
2.0.5pre3 works (i think 2.0.5pre8 does too).
They don't make the built in hotspot app/icon come up, and they work.

Barnacle and the original Wifi Tether use your own data connection as a hotspot upon being granted root access. T-Mobile doesn't have a way to track this down the way they do with the stock hotspot feature.

So you're saying you have no source stating that T-Mobile can more easily track down tether usage with HotSpot, when compared to Barnacle and Wifi Tether? Or you're saying you made it up and were hoping that googling wifi tether would provide a source for something you guessing at?
Either way, thanks for your speculation.

Hi everyone,
I don't have an unlimited data plan. I always went to use WhatsApp Messenger . Howsoever, there are many application runs on the background spending traffic (also draining battery too fast). today I have found out there is an application free on the market call "DroidWall - Android Firewall". This application works as iptables front-end to block undesired applications from accessing the network.
You may alos restrict any program depending on the type of the connection. For example you set Gmail application only works when you use WIFI and will get block when you using 3G for example.
I thinks they are more people have the same problem I had. that's I am sharing it here.
ATTENTION: ROOT REQUIRED!!!
Front-end application for the iptables Linux firewall.
Allows you to restrict which apps can access the network.
This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.

Thanks for this.
Just curious.. In PC environments we use firewalls to control outbound and prevent rogue inbound..
I know this differs depending on carrier but with ATT our network is proxied anyway (meaning inbound will always fail) and as for outbound it would seem if there was an app on android you didn't want having net presence you'd just freeze or uninstall it.
Not criticizing the app.. Just hoping someone will give me some example uses where I could take advantage of it other than not having unlimited data as that makes perfect sense.
Thanks for your work!
Hello,
You may restrict any program depending on the type of the connection. For example you set gmail application only works when you use WIFI and will get block when you using 3G for example.
Hope this help you understand the use of the programe.

Settings for HTC WIFI Hotspot?
Hi, Great app.
Can anybody tell how to allow HTC WIFI Hotspot to connect internet?
It doesn't appear on droidwall's app list, but instead when I turn on "(root) - Applications running as root", I can access to internet from my laptop.
But I'm not sure this setting can allow ANY of root apps to access internet, which we may not want them to.
Please tell what's the best solution for that? Otherwise should I install other wifi hotspot app?
Anybody noticed any improvements in battery life after using this?
I use LBE Privacy Guard that features pop ups and privacy protection

Let me tell you about my Wifi Tether experience with my E4GT.
I did the basic ROOT+CWM5 so I could run Wifi-Tether and Adfree.
I downloaded Wifi-Tether 2.0.7 Stable and it said it was on but my PC/Windows 7 box couldn't see it. My MacBook couldn't see it etc.
I snagged the 3.0.xxx Beta Wifi-Tether, whatever the newest Beta is and it worked.

Because it's ICS modem, you need to change the device profile to 'Nexus CDMA'.
The Sprint hotspot app should work for WiFi tethering.

If you have a Sprint Hotspot on EL29, then you can use it. If you don't have a 'hotspot' plan with sprint, using this Sprint hotspot (modified on EL29) should not charge you any money.
I am hoping that open garden makes a version for ICS. On gingerbread the hacked hotspot usually take a few minutes to kick in. Open gardens app gives internet access immediately. Great app, worth donating for.

If you are using a ROM that has included the Sprint Hotspot hack (which I believe blend does) then no, Sprint should not charge you.. I would just recommend to not go crazy on usage though.

You need to go the place where you downloaded the rom and read carefully if the rom is including the Sprint hopspot hack. If it's including the Sprint hotspot, you will see the similar information like below -
(Crawrj's & Maddoggin's Hotspot hacks to unlock Sprint Hotspot & USB tethering)
The difference between Stock Sprint Hotspot and hacked Hopspot is, Stock Hotspot will not work for you if you don't have hotspot plan or it will ask to to activate the Hotspot. But for the hacked Sprint Hotspot, it just works and shows the 'activated' notification without asking anything.
There are lots of thread related to the same topic. If you spend just about 5 minutes, you will figure everything out by yourself.
