[Q] After root will the hotspot still work?

I am with Sprint and just wanted to see if I root my device will I still be able to use the hotspot feature?
Thanks,
Adam

Based on your question, I suspect that you are paying for the official Sprint hotspot service. After rooting, you can use the tethering capability built into 2.2 WITHOUT having to pay Sprint $30 per month for the privilege. If you choose to run a 2.1 ROM, you can use Google's Wireless Tether app and accomplish the same thing, again without paying Sprint a single penny.

For the Sprint Hotspot functionality, you will need to be sure to find a ROM that has that apk installed. Quite a few of the custom ROMs remove this because it is obsolete in comparison to the wifi tether application from google.​

I thought he meant you could use sprint's wifi hotspot app if you have a rooted 2.2 rom. I already use the wifi tether app.

Droid Incredible Wifi tethering

Hello,
I'm currently a Nexus One user on T-Mobile and I'm planning on switching to Verizon for their 4G LTE phones. However, I want to switch over now and use DINC in the meantime, and with the annoucement of the Verizon iPhone, I could pick up a good used DINC for a cheap price.
My main question is that are there any custom roms that mimic stock Android OS? I also like the built-in WiFi tethering found on my N1 and want to know if they've able to port those over onto the roms for the DINC.
I've searched on google and have not found a defenitive answer on that. I know about other apps that do WiFi tethering, but I prefer the one found on stock Android as that is a true hotspot function and not Ad-Hoc.
Thanks for any answers!

Virtuous is as stock as you can get, and includes the hacked/free wifi tethering.
*edit*
Do you mean stock Sense or stock stock?

As far as tethering goes just get wireless tether from the market

Is Sky Raider as close to stock Sense as you can get?

[Q] Evo as a wireless USB adapter?

Ok.. i want to use my ROOTED EVO as a wireless usb adapter! to connect my SONY TV TO THE INTERNET, my home wifi, not my 3g.
ive searched but didnt find nothing. i read it can be done but idk.. cant find anything.. my sony tv is wifi ready but it needs a usb wireless adapter which i dont have.. but i want to make my evo a usb wireless adapter.. theres gotta be a APP or something to do it. no?
ANY IDEAS?? Thanks!!

Kind of in the same realm but i want my phone to act as a usb bluetooth device.

The only app that I am aware of worth using to tether is wifi tether.
But from what im understanding is you want to use it as a USB tether. If you install CM7 rom. Tethering is built into the rom and you have the option of making it a hotspot OR tethering via usb.

im on just stock 2.2.. but rooted.. im Just too scared to install a different ROM Lol... i dont wanna mess it up.. lol.. i dont really know what some things are and i dont wanna risk it lo

Nandroid backups are your friend! Just make one before you flash anything and you can easily restore your phone to the way it was, should you be unhappy with what you've done....

most all of the sense 2.0 roms have the wired tether option. so there are a few alternatives to cm if you want to keep a stock feel.

[Q] Does Rooting Give Tethering?

Hey there, I'm not new to the Android/Dev community, but I AM new to Sprint. When I was on T-Mobile I could tether my phone to use it as a modem for my laptop even without root. When a stable root is obtained for the Epic 4G Touch will I have to wait for ROM development to get free tethering or will rooting it alone give me tethering? Tethering is something I really like and don't want to pay extra for. Thanks!

With root you can download an apk that will let you tether. As of right now we don't have a custom rom with built in tether that doesn't go through sprint. I use Wi-Fi tether for a mobile hotspot or the og pdanet for USB tether. All free of charge

Thanks. I'll just stick with PDA Net until a stable root comes along.

Wi-Fi hotspot

I was wondering if there was a around the fact that virgin mobile blocks Wi-Fi hotspots on their phones unless you pay the $15 fee. I'm rooted, so I was wondering if there's a way I could use that to my advantage

I just recently bought the HTC One V and after doing quite a bit of research (there's not much on the Internet about it), I was able to successfully use my rooted Virgin One V as a mobile hotspot.
You'll need to use the Wifi-tether app. I'm using the 3.2 Beta version. I can't post the link because I'm a new user, but you can find it on Google.
Make sure you change your settings to Generic ICS 0. Afterwards, you should be able to successfully tether to other devices without having to pay that extra $15.

Hi, lil bit an offtopic question here. what about reverse tether? Do we have an app for that. I used internet pass through when I use sense rom, but right now i'm using non sense-based rom.
