Hi Peoples,
I'm expecting my droid pro to arrive tomorrow. Was wondering if anyone knew if rom manager (appbrain.com/app/rom-manager/com.koushikdutta.rommanager) and wireless tether (appbrain.com/app/wireless-tether-for-root-users/android.tether) work on the droid pro.
also, does koushik's bootstrap for droid 2 and droid x work on droid pro?
lastly, if i try to install rom manager after rooting my droid pro, might it brick my phone - and i assume currently there would be no way to restore it?
THANKS!
while i certainly am not technical by any means, I can confirm that I was able to install rom manager and wireless tether to my rooted pro.
I haven't tried to actually use rom manager since I don't know if clockwork mod recovery works with the pro.
I can confirm however that wireless tether is working fine on the pro (unfortunately for some reason though my work computer says that the wireless signal is blocked by my administrator)
Wireless tether does work. I was going to try and flash clockwork but it only shows the x and droid 2. I didn't know if either would work and didn't want to take a chance on my wife's phone lol
Which version of wireless tether are you using?
I just downloaded the one from the market. I take a look at it when my wife gets home though

Quick question -
I'm considering upgrading to a Droid Pro. Does the tethering app you guys referenced also allow USB tethering?
I would love to tether over WiFi but my employer has disabled connections to ad-hoc networks, so I currently am relegated to USB tethering on my Touch Pro 2.
Tether
Hi All
The only app that seems to work for wired and wireless tether is PDANet. Works really well.
I tried Barnacle and Wireless Tether and neither would work.
I rooted with Z4 without issue. Have not tried Clockwork yet.
I can confirm that wireless tether DOES work, but only as ad hoc. There is a hack for the 3G mobile hotspot out there which gives you full infrastructure wifi tethering.
Well that's good news, eh?
Whether I can use this PDAnet app to tether over USB, or figure out this hack to enable full-on WiFi tethering, I should be all set. Hopefully I have the mental capacity to figure it all out. I have a little experience with custom ROMs etc on WinMo, but this will be my first dive into Android.
I guess I'll pull the trigger on a Droid Pro this weekend. Wish me luck - haha.
It's def worth it. I love this phone more and more everyday. Not to mention I bought this outright

PDA Net will connect via Bluetooth also.
anyone get the 3g mobile hotspot hack to work?
i tried dialing ##778, but I just get a message that the number can't be completed as dialed.
Unfortunately my company blocks adhoc connections on my laptop, so I can't use wireless tether
I can confirm Wireless Tether works with a rooted Pro, just use the Z4Root app in the Market.

Cool. Do you think that might be blocked as an ad-hoc network as well? Either way I'm sure I'll figure out a way.
I'm getting pretty excited about this phone. It's exactly the same size as my old Motorola Q9c (personal phone for voice/texts; the Droid Pro will be my work phone for data) so they will fit nicely together in my pocket.
Question - what are the SatNav options on the Droid Pro? Sorry to be so knobby, but I've grown quite dependent on the free Bing navigation on my Touch Pro 2.
Wow, this PDAnet Bluetooth tethering is awesome. Now I can just keep my phone in my pocket - no cable required.

i just picked up a NookColor ( android tablet / eReader ), do you think i can tether my droid pro to it?
Rom Manager
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this was the first that had Rom Manager mentioned in it.
Own both HTC Incredible and Moto Droid Pro
So I just rooted my MDP and installed Rom Manager. Wanted to Flash Clockwork but it didn't list the MDP on it. Didn't want to chance flashing for the droid 2 or x and bricking my phone.
Anyways my question is:
If you aren't using Rom Manager and Clockwork to back up /change your roms, what app are you using?
As a droid pro owner the wireless tethering app works and I have 2.0 installed.update takes away access control as well as rom manager installed and working 100%. This is on a rooted droid pro and clockwork recovery works as well with no problems. Just download droid 2 bootstrapped and follow the instructions. I love my droid pro and patiently awaiting custom roms

I want to use Android Wired Tether on my Droid X with the recent Verizon OTA stock Froyo 2.2 update. I want to USB tether to many different Windows PCs.
I loaded the 2.2 Update over the Verizon network yesterday as usual.
I downloaded Android Wired Tether from the google code depot (wired_tether_1_4.apk) and installed the application.
I rooted the Droid X OS.
Running "Wired Tether" on the Droid X results in the the error message "Unsupported Kernel!"
The error is what I expected ( but not what I had hoped for ). From what I can gather, some of the networking software was removed from the stock Froyo ROM, contrary to other devices like the HTC incredible.
So my question; is there a ROM which includes the missing software? The "FlyX - birdman" ROM available on the Wiki page looks promising. I'm hoping the experts here can confirm my suspicions before I begin experimenting.
Thanks!
*Bump
I am looking for this also. There are a few good reasons to use wired tether. No speed loss, your phone is charging, and no problems with rogue intrusion/detection.
I have tried wired_tether_1.4.apk on the first leaked 2.2 with no luck.
There may be a need to edit your tethered NAI before using Wired_Tether_1.4.apk also. Any insights on this?
PleaseStirMe
Im not sure, but wireless tether works fine, im sure the speed isnt that much of a difference, and plug it into ur comp still if ur battery is low

Is this on 2.2 OTA or Leak, etc?
Your sig still says 2.1 rooted.
I'm not able to get my WiFi tethering working with 2.2 Leak.
Looks like we need a custom kernel to use wired_tether(the stock kernel has the necessary files removed). BUT, as far as I know there is nothing but the stock kernel for Droid X, atm. Correct me if Im wrong please.
The AOSP project for the DroidX does look interesting though.
There are lots of other options for tether but if you want to use USB, Wired_tether is preferred over PDAnet and easytether since there is no need for a client install. ANY Windows 7 machine (has RNDIS natively) and most Linux boxes with a USB port can instantly tether to the wired_tether program with zero modification.
I'd love to see wired_tether working on the Droid X.
PleaseStirMe
I don't know about "wired-tether", but "Easy Tether" uses USB. It works on 2.2. I am using it now. The connection is very reliable but not very fast. It does NOT require root. There is a free and a paid version.
It is a bummer that wifi tether does not stay connected. But I can recommend Easy Tether.
My Droid X is rooted and I regularly use Wireless Tether for Root app. I purposely bought the Xoom Wi/fi instead of the 3g for this wonderful advantage. I've review steps for the Xoom 3G tether, but I'm thinking this is a little different for the Wi/Fi model. When i am tethering from my Droid X, my Xoom does not recognize my network? Dont know if anyone has had some success on this yet.
Forgot to add, my xoom is unlocked and rooted as well.
Make sure you are using Infrastructure mode on the Droid X.
EDIT: I can't seem to find that option at the moment...
Well i couldnt figure it out using the Wireless Tether for Root app, but it worked flawlessly using the 3G Hotspot app by verizon, using Team Blackhat's hack.
I don't know how it is on the Droid X, but my Wi-Fi Xoom tethers to my Captivate just fine.
miui on evo 4g tether works fine. set up my first boot in the parking lot with it.
I use the stock tethering app on MT4G and GS4G and it works great. When i try wifi tether i cant see the network either. I had this same problem on my ZuneHD.
Using an Eris right now and I'm having no luck with bluetooth or normal tether. Eris is rooted, Xoom WiFi model is not.
EDIT: Just found out that the Eris uses Ad-Hoc for tethering not AP. Looks like I may be screwed.
Just a followup, I setup the Wireless Tether for Root on my Droid X and my xoom connects to it no problem.
Ive been able to connect to both TBH hotspot hack and wireless tether with no issues.

Download Fission ROM Manager, install Fission ROM for DX, install tether patch and 3G Hotspot app. Tethering to Xoom should work...
Tether patch will modify NVRAM on DX and the 3G Hotspot is just a modified Verizon Hotspot app. Get all the tethering you want without having a tethering package
Fwiw : my Dinc running CM7 teathers fine with my Wifi Xoom just using the native teather feature. No downloads or setup required.

My N1 tethers to my Xoom just peachy, no root or anything needed.
It appears that AdHoc mode on Droid X and Samsung Epic work fine with the Xoom? Maybe im nuts, but I thought Android wouldn't connect to ad hoc....im probably nuts.
I'm having no luck tethering my recently purchased wifi xoom. I am using a mytouch 3g with all variants of wireless tether.... i know my tether works because my rooted nook with CM7 can see it and LOGIN with no problems. I added the wpa variant that helped my nook see ad hoc wireless.
Please if someone has a solution i will be externally grateful.
Yeah my xoom wasn't reading my phones tether since its adhoc(Using WirelessTether from market), on their website they have a new thing called "wifi tether" and it works perfectly.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
"WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.0-pre12 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***"
Then in setup method change it from adhoc to softap, so far so good..

Thanks but unfortunately my phone (mytouch magic) doesn't give me that option. I tried nexus one device and selected softap, but still no good.
Looks like I need to somehow tweak my wifi xoom to recognize ad hoc wireless router. I have just 6 months till my phone contract ends, but that's too long to wait.... if this doesn't work i may have to return my xoom
Anyone know how to unlock the ad hoc wireless on the zoom?

Has ANYONE found out ANYTHING about tethering w/ the ERIS? I can connect via bluetooth BUT then my Eris reboots and I lose the connection.
This is the only issue that probably will have me returning if I can't connect to internet on my phone when I'm away from wifi.

Sounds like we need to tweak the wpa file in system>app to make it accept ad hoc.
I have Samsung Captivate with mobile AP enabled. However i am not able to get good tethering speed on my xoom. I ran a speedtest on the captivate which has HSUPA enabled and i get 1.5MB download speed and 2MB upload but my xoom barely gets 100KB download. Any ideas?

That's interesting, i tested HTC DHD stock hotspot app yesterday with my laptop (i don't have a Xoom yet). If i run a speed test on my phone, i get about 4,5mbit download speed but if i do a speed test on my laptop i only get about 2mbit. Why is that?
Anyone able to confirm this? If that's the case ill probably stick to my rooted froyo...the tether is just too convenient at times...

You can tether, however the 3G wireless hotspot no longer works, I do believe Wireless Tether still works however
Didnt work for me... Tried using code.android wifi tether for root users yesterday and it did not work.
Think the application has to be updated.

Contact the developer. I use usb tethering through easytether, and it works perfectly
I had two tether apps, both failed under .595...depressing.
Someone inboxed me that the older version of the tether app works under GB, but I haven't tried looking for it. I will probably take JMoney47's advice and use easytether since he says it works.

Are you talking about the paid built in 3G Hotspot? That's working fine for me. Also one thing I like is how Motorola actually kept the code in for USB tethering now as well. I like this because now I don't have to worry about VZAccess manager which never supported the X - I just use my Mobile Hotspot/USB Tether 2GB plan with the built in USB Tether.
If your talking about rooted wireless tether, my buddy said he had issues with it. But the "official" one works.
wifi tether
I found this download and i am using my wifi tether as we speak. The rom on my droid x is ginger ale //code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk&can=2&q=[/url] you can find it here. One thing is i cant download anything on my tab maybe there is a fix for this .

What version of gingerbread are you running with this apk?
I'm trying to tether from my Droid Charge using Open Wifi Network and Barnacles apps. Both work fine with my W7 pc, I cannot just fine. But, my tablet is not recognizing the ssid when I try from either two apps.
What can I do?
I think those apps set up an ad-hoc network, and most mobile devices aren't. Compatible with ad-hoc networks

some one tell me how overcome this ad hoc issue...got a new galaxy tab 10.1 and unable to connect it to net
I have the latest beta of Wireless Tether on my Charge and have no problem tethering my GTab 10.1 to it. It wasn't available in the market, though; had to get it from the project code site.
None of the market tethering apps worked for me due to the inability of the GTab to do ad-hoc. If you want detailed settings that I'm using on the charge, let me know. It was pretty easy to get going, though.

I've had great success with the 2.0.8 version on my Fascinate. I have not had the need to try the later versions.
I haven't been able to get my GTab 10.1 to recognize my Fascinate when using the Wi-Fi Tether app. I'm running the latest MIUI Gingerbread and I've tried the built-in tether app as well, but my tab doesn't see it. Anybody that can help would be greatly appreciated!

Man... I've tried this multiple times and I just can't seem to get it to work. Will keep trying, but I'm getting frustrated. Thanks for y'alls help so far though!
UPDATE: I got it working on my 3rd try! I was using the Portable Wireless Tether that comes built in to the MIUI ROM and apparently it wasn't playing nice. However, Barnacle tether worked like a charm. Thanks for all your helpful links guys!
Has anyone tried using FoxFi for wireless tethering on the Turbo 2? I'm considering getting the phone since I can do so and keep my unlimited data, but I rely on the mobile hotspot for my Internet at home. I know I can switch between my current rooted S4 and the Turbo 2, but really rather be able to use the paid version of FoxFi on the until root is achieved. I've tried the free version of FoxFi and it works fine, it just has a 500 MB limit per use before it disconnects. I like the look of the Turbo 2 and think it'd be a great phone to have. Any information that can be provided would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Oh, and for those who've every used a recent Samsung phone and miss the dual window thing, there's a cool app in the store called SideControl that provides dual window function with the use of another app called xHaloFloatingWindow you can either find in the XDA forums or download through the Xposed app.
It won't work
OP. You're saying that FoxFi works on your non-rooted, completely stock Lollipop Turbo 2? What firmware version are you on?
I loveD using the app in the past, but ever since KitKat it has been blocked on Motorola phones as far as I know. Would be awfully nice if it was usable again.
I don't have the phone, I was just considering it.
You can use USB tether and then from the computer in pdanet there's an option for WiFi tether where you can make your own WiFi name and password. It worked on the original Turbo, but sometimes it would have issues connecting to other devices. I tried it on the turbo 2, but I think there was an issue with it working.
The was my old post in the OG Turbo section

I have found a way to use WiFi tether, but you need a few things.
1. FoxFi/PDANet
2. Laptop
3. Micro-USB cable
4. Phone
There is a work around for Wi-Fi tether though using FoxFi/PDANet. It requires a laptop though. When you use USB mode, connect it to your laptop and then when you right click the pdanet icon again there's an option that say "WI-FI share". Click on that and then it'll give you an option to set up a router name and password. I don't know if only certain laptops are capable of this, but I have a Dell 15R and it works just fine. At least then I can connect to my tablet and old s4 that way.
Your phone will need to be connected to your laptop the whole time, but at least you'll be able to connect to multiple devices at the same time.
