Hey guys,
I was wondering what the best option in the Google Play store is for a free wireless tether or hotspot app would be. Any recommendations would help.
Also, a second question. Is there a good ROM that has a stock (TW or pure android) look but has a reliable Sprint Hotspot hack included? I was using Calkulin's E4GT ROM but I consistently get random reboots and its quite frustrating. I also used CM9 but that did not have any hotspot hack built in. Thanks again for any help!
Foxfi is great. Works for rooted and unrooted tethering. it can be found in the play store. If you are rooted just google the wifi tether app for rooted users.

Like the others said, fox fo is great
And blu Kuban works good with wifi tether.. Doesn't have a stock TW look tho.. A lot of blue.. But there are launchers and icon packs for that

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.

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

Hey everyone, just wondering is there is a way to tether via USB using wifi as the source of internet?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Yes there is. It's built into the system settings (At least for ICS).

It's called internet pass through I think.

clarification
Do you mean for the PC to tether though the andriod? if that is the case you may need to use something like EasyTether.
Yea, I want to hook a PC up that doesn't have wireless capabilities so I can use wifi on it. I'm running AOKP, I haven't tried to hook it up yet to see if it comes with this rom.

OK just an update, hooked my phone up to my PC and hit USB tether at the settings UI is force closing
EDIT: Using Easy Tether, I have internet but its intermittent and a little slow, but its a start.

There is an app on the Play Store called "Open Garden." It enables Wi-fi tethering on 3G or Wi-Fi for Free.
Before I had Ice Cream Sandwich and was rooted, I always used PDANet, it works great on both Mac and PC! If it isn't in the Play Store anymore, i'm sure you could find the .apk somewhere online. Best of luck!
I've done a lot of research and I'm aware of foxfi able to do this by enabling the proxy built in but will only work when I a ice cream sandwich Rom or later.. To my understanding jellybean rid of this useful feature to become useless.. Is there any workaround anyone have that works.. I can't even get the Internet sharing from my wired note 2 to pc to share out to work.. It sends out a ad-hoc signal which I've read that ps3 don't read.

Yes you can Wifi Tether. You must be rooted though and install a custom ROM. Go over to ptmr3's JediX or Jedi Master ROM over in the Android development section and give one of those a run! CM10.1 works great as well (i find that AOSP ROMs have faster USB Tether speeds).
You can tether your Wifi Connection to a USB Hub on a Desktop (Not sure about PS3) and it will work fine. 4G/3G works great as well!
I can't seem to get it to connect the best thing I can have it do is use foxfi and it will see it but won't have a Internet connection thru the ps3
