Way to wifi tether with Paranoid Android?

Hello, I've been trying to figure out how would I get wifi tethering to work on Paranoid Android. I've been searching now and I found a thread to download it and such. I read the changelog and I noticed this above v1.2
"-Wifi Tethering doesnt works, but USB/Bluetooth works fine"
Has this been fixed on the newest version? I really want to download Paranoid Android on my phone but one of the things that I NEED are USB and Wifi Tethering, because USB and Wifi Tethering are the only ways I can access the internet on my PC/Game Systems/etc... This ROM seems so cool too, but I can't download it if Wifi tethering won't work.
Oh, and if you want to know what phone I have in case of any reason, I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro).
Thanks.

I'm running PA on my GNexus and wifi tether works flawlessly, I've not tried USB tether but the option is there and I've no reason to suspect it won't work.
PA is a great ROM, make a nandroid and flash it, you have nothing to lose. :good:

be4con, how would I be able to use wifi tethering? Would Wifi Tether for Root users work? (This one. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) I've tried using it but it doesn't seem to work, is there another way I can tether via Wifi?

You don't need a third party app, I'm just using the built in JB wifi tethering.

How do I do that? I don't know how to do it? Will verizon charge me and give me a 2GB cap? I'm used to using that app, so I don't know how to tether via wifi. >.<

So, I just go on settings and use the systems wifi tethering? Will verizon notice I'm doing that and charge me for that? Thats my only problem too, the third party app that I use doesn't charge me or anything. So, won't using the normal tether on the settings menu (while on Paranoid Android) cause verizon to charge me for that feature? Please answer ASAP.

Whilst I was on stock I tried and failed to use the 3rd party app I had prev used on GB to tether so I think it is a JB issue rather than a PA one.
Regardless of how you tether you will use data and incur data charges from Verizon. That may or may not be against your contract rules. Your 3rd party app was still using data which Verizon will have been charging you for.
To tether on JB you go to settings > wireless and networks > more... > tethering and portable hotspot.

What I ment was Verizon has a extra service for making a wifi hotspot, that you'd have to pay monthly. So it sucks actually, I don't want to be paying for two services. The third party app actually bypasses it or something, because it works fine without Verizon noticing. But, again, I don't want to be paying for two services.

I can't really answer that question then, though I don't see how the JB tethering will work any differently to the 3rd party app in that respect.
Maybe someone on Verizon will be able to confirm, or you could just try it and see.

[Q] Does T-Mobile charge me for using a wireless hotspot?

Hi guys im from the Skyrocket section, but that's AT&T, so I came here.
I was wondering since I know every ROM has a built in hotspot setting if you go to settings > More > And under the Mobile Networks
I don't have the Mobile Hotspot built into my plan so Im just wondering if I use it will I get charged the $15/month?

no you wont get charged, instead you will get redirected to the Tmobile site that trys to sell it too you. For some reason i kept getting that same message using alot of roms until I switched to the last side kick's kannged version of liquid smooth, now i can tether with no problems.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think it depends on the rom you're running. Most custom roms, you can tether without getting charged right? I know I've USB tethered just fine. On liquidsmooth I did wireless tether without a problem too.

With mine on any ROM I'm able to use up to 2GB data per month on tether and then I get the redirect.

Cool, I never use that much so I never run into that problem. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind too.

hotspot
do you guys have to freeze anything using titanium backup pro or anything of that sort? or do you just go straight into the tethering?

If you delete tetheringprovisions.apk you'll get free tethering.

you either need the customized version of wifi tether or you need to use the built-in tether tool. customized version is kicking around here on the forums, I think I found it over in the CM.1 Nightlies thread myself.

I'm using "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin (4.2.2 | Verizon).
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check that checks if you have a tether plan or not.
Great for those of us who are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data.
The app also does not require root.

my carrier-sprint --must have a hook in their version of JB 4.2.1........I am wanting to enjoy my unlimited also like before the individual charges and money came into play... I use to use my G1(HTC Dream) and other Android phones to access the net for what I needed back in the dayzz...I know its possible. I just need the guidance

If someone is interested, here is the solution for using the USB tethering on Mac (instead of using the WiFi hotspot)

K.... I finally figured it out. I thank you guys for your input. I got Sourcery 5.1 installed and I got my hotspot working with no flaws...my next involved mod is gonna be on a Alps Mid 7 dual sim card unit running 4.04-GSM/FM Transceiver... Im thinking active frequency jumping is what I want my radio to do.. This is the place for it to be done. Ideas ROMs and kernels will be appreciated

Wi-Fi Tether

Since rooting, I have been unable to use the native Hotpot or any of the tethering apps which requires root. Has anyone found a solution for tethering?

on my m8 running viper....I just changed a value in the default.xml file (there was a few versions that forgot to enable the native hotspot for free)....that did the trick....I don't see why it would be terribly different on the m9 if you are S-Off, unlocked and rooted.
You stock or running Viper?

I'm pretty sure the issue here was over debloating... .. the stock tether guard doesn't like being frozen or removed before it's disabled in the xml policy. To be honest.. even after disabling tether guard support I always leave the app remain.
We will know more when the OP gets back home from his trip.
Stock rooted here and it works fine.

Not having root, I still haven't found a way to use the built in hotspot--however--if you disable tethering guard,you will be able to use the built in Bluetooth tether. The major downsides being only being able to connect to one device at a time and download speed is right around 1 mbps.

Yeah, I was googling for a while...
So I tried Foxfi and it didn't work, said it was unable to use wifi tether on new updated system (something like that). But then I looked at other apps to try in the Play Store and saw "Free Tether Unlocker". It only had a 3.5 star rating but I figured why not try it. IT WORKED!!! Was still able to send a text and make a call too.
So anyone on a Verizon device who needs to get wifi tether working, just use Free Tether Unlocker and then Wifi Tether Router and that should do it!

Any way around T-Mobile Hotspot 10GB Limit in 2018? D851

Prime Tether looks like it's for 5.x.x if I'm not mistaken.
Searched the android development section and didn't see any mention of this.
On my vs985 it was easy, just flashed a zip.
Anyone know a way that would work on MM or any custom roms?
Thanks

Not sure really since WiFi is broken on my G3.
However, I'm using good ole WiFi Tether Router on my Samsung Galaxy Light. As a hotspot for Amazon Fire TV Stick. Far as I can tell it's working but because I use it so infrequently I'm not 100% sure.
I guess what I need to do is when I'm at home have my other phone only use WiFi with the Samsung as hotspot. Then I'll be able to see if it really works.

Thanks, but I can get hotspot and tether working, that's not the problem, it's the 10GB Limit that T-mobile tries to restrict you to

With root Wifi Tether Router works fine on Lollipop. I couldn't get it to work with 30D Marshmallow although author claims many people using it. A brief test with crDroid (Oreo 8.1) showed that it seems to work ok there, but I couldn't get 5ghz WiFi to work on Oreo so went back to Marshmallow.

I meant using something like WiFi Tether Router is supposed to hide the fact that you're tethering. That's its purpose. In theory it's supposed to look like you're using normal data.

Looks like the app didn't do its job. Spent the night tethering to a laptop while I tried to un-(soft)brick a new phone. Then a notice popped up from T-Mobile that I was close to reaching my 10GB limit. Ach and grumble grumble. Not good.
Will be investigating other ways to see if I can beat TMO.

You have unlimited data with a 10GB tether limit right? If you have a 10GB overall data limit there is nothing you can do as all data is metered.
With stock roms you have no control over how they interact with the carrier when you attempt to activate tethering. With custom roms you can avoid any carrier trickery and the carrier has to rely on TTL hints or deep packet inspection to detect tethering and from my experience Tmo doesn't normally do deep packet inspection.
Try the TTL Editor (Kirn Gill) app from Google Play.
-PG

Thanks @petergunn666. I'll give TTL Editor a look.
The phone I'm using as a hotspot is my old Samsung Galaxy Light running CM12, btw.

@cory733,
Y'know, I mentioned I used WiFi Tether Router on my Galaxy Light to hide the tethering. Mentioned it didn't work one day and I used up most of the data. Probably not set up quite right.
Last week though, it worked as expected. Tethered to my Amazon Fire TV Stick from about 9pm to 6am.
Checked data usage afterward. 0MB used of hotspot data. Checked again a few days later to verify.
The amount of data sent/used shown in WTR's main screen closely matched amount of normal data reported by TMO.
I sort of remember the app's data stats not looking right when I almost used up my hotspot data before (showing only a few hundred MB of data). Probably stopped working but I didn't know it.
Another day off. I'll do some hotspotting tonight and see how it goes. This time I'll keep an eye on the app, too.
EDIT: Using fast.metropcs.com for tethering.

I tried this on my D851 but doesn't seem to hide hotspot from T-Mobile. I used default settings for TTL Editor and checked apply to all network interfaces. What settings did you use?
I'm on an 8.1 LOS ROM, with systemless Magisk and systemless BusyBox. I'm not sure if that matters

I thought Prime Tether was only for 10C, 10M or 10R?

TTL was the solution, but not on the phone itself, had to set it in windows registry editor.
All the info is in the comment section of this page:
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/hide-data-usage-get-truly-unlimited-tethering-tmobile-one/
Works for straighttalk also
Also changed the build prop net tether non-provision and tether dun limit settings just to be safe.
pda net also worked for me on straighttalk (tmobile sim) but since it's a paid app, it cuts you off after a certain amount of usage unless you buy.

Hi
I want to buy a cheap old phone just to make it my home unlimited hotspot. I have an extra Tmobile sim card to use. As you said the firmware of the phone might matter. so what kind of device and firmware you suggest? Also please send me the download link to that Zip file and guide on how to flash it.
Thank you very much in advance
