Alright, I just installed the Cyanogen mod on my Wildfire, the thing is, I don't have any wifi networks around me, (My Internet is cable).
And I can't tether because that costs a ton, already got charged $400 because I didn't know tethering cost money.
Does anyone know anyway to get any applications on my Wildfire without having access to the Internet?
There are only a few ways to gain access to internet. First is to connect to a WiFi connection so maybe you could try going to popular shopping malls which provide free WiFi. Next the other way is using data connectivity aka 3.5g to access internet but only use it if your plan comes with a data bundle. But maybe you can try thetering your cable brodband from your computer and use your phone to receive it as an ad-hoc network.

I rooted my Droid X and got the wireless tether app to work. My only question is if I use my phone to tether will any extra data charges show up on my account? I have the unlimited data package, but I don't have tethering on my account.

you will not be charged using the Wireless Tether app. Assuming you're refering to this one http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
That's the one. Thank you very much.

Ya it works great as long as only one device is connected. However with mine other android phones can't see my wifi as an option, but laptops work fine.

Thats because it is a Ad-Hoc type of wifi. There is still a known problem with windows 7 and ad-hoc networks though (you have to re-establish the connection every time you want to use it on the pc). If you are running xp/vista, you should have no problem reconnecting every time.
There ARE hacked versions of the Motorola Hotspot app that will allow true, non ad-hoc, Hotspot functionality, while still not having to pay for the package. I am using it on my X with Fission 2.1 ROM. TeamBlackHat released it.. search and enjoy.

Do note that VzW can still see your data usage (how much used) and data rate (I THINK they can see this), so they'll have a good idea that you're tethering when you're not supposed to (contract violation, essentially) if you do this too much.
If you're sneaking around VzW to use tethering without paying, then do it sparingly when needed, not excessively... unless you want your contract terminated and other penalties assessed. This isn't the same thing as voiding a warranty, after all. You're essentially pirating bandwidth from them by doing this. Not that I have much of an issue with that, just warning you so you know that they do take this seriously.
So i'm running CM7 and I was at the airport yesterday with no free wifi. I used the USB tethering feature built into CM7 which happened to work just fine.
However, i am just wondering, is there anyway t-mobile will know i'm tethering?
Heard yes and no, never been billed for tethering through my carrier

It worked great for me. I couldn't even tell I was tethering, that's how fast it was.

AFAIK, no. There has been no definitive answer to this. However, I don't believe T-Mo has any "long armed reach" into your phone. All they are is a carrier. They provide you a signal, what you do with that signal is up to you. All they should see is a steam of data to various points on the internet on their end.
Now, if these points happens to be things like a WoW server or CoD server; aka things that 100% can't run on your phone -- maybe they would have some info. Surfing, email, and downloading should all be totally innocuous though.

The OS built-in HotSpot for free? Nope, not gonna happen until root and BootLoader unlock and we can flash a custom ROM.
However, there are a few programs that can do data sharing (tethering) without root, which do it in a method that it is not the same as the hotspot so it doesn't trigger the need to subscribe to the hotspot feature. I believe EasyTether has touted that, but it is for Wired/BlueTooth connections only, and not as a mobile WiFi hotspot.
All in all, if you want to use carrier provided features on a stock build, be prepared to pay for the privilege. Just be glad you are grandfathered into the unlimited plans.
EasyTether works great but you need the USB cable plugged into your PC and you need to install the EasyTether app on your PC also. Its $5 on Amazon App Store.
