Well it all depends on what kind of rom you running. If you are running an AOSP Rom like CM6 or CM7 then yes it is possible. If you are running a Sense roms Then no. I do not know about the Salsa sense one. Still need to test that one out.
But download wireless tether for root users. In the settings you can set it to use BT and not Wifi.
If you done that and then turn of tethering. Well then you can hook your device up with your PC/mac. If you done that, In windows it is called, connect to accesspoint. On mac, Connect to network. and then its done.
The big + on BT over wifi. it uses less battery and when it is not in use it does not use battery at all.
PS: This is more a question for the Q and A then development..
Ok with Salsa sense it works to So I am a happy dude.

hello all, i got this question: is wifi tether based on kernel capabilities? because am using dk28 and is just not working for me, apk installs fine, open and run but i cant find the connection on my laptop/evo4g. I want to know if the kernel has to support it, if so does the stock dk28(rooted) has support for it or do i have to use a different kernel?
Thank you in advance!
mine works fine..your evo cant see it because android cant see adhoc ..idk about your laptop
I'm not sure what the above poster said about Evo, but this is Epic forum.
So, I had Pre 9 running on 2.1 rooted, would not work on DK28. I read somewhere that Pre 11 was working. Downloaded, turned on and everything was great, so the version makes the difference.
Hope that helps.
To reiterate what was said earlier.
Android phones are not capable of seeing adhoc connections. Which in this case of using WifiTether is what you are creating.
Your laptop should be able to see the connection just fine. I would go back and check some settings in wifirouter and your laptop to make sure you are able to get things working correctly.
Any version of wifirouter after pre11 should work. All the way up to pre15.

Do you want to use your phone's internet for your pc? Then yes- it's possible with apps. (called tethering. search for wifi tether or usb tether in market or on xda...)
if you want to use your pc's connection - then probably not.

no i mean i donot have a wifi modem and i have adsl net modem and also with respect to battry problem in hd2 i prefer to use net with prob connection but many of builds did not have the internet pass through option
for this aim i like to know that is it posible to add this option to that kind of build as a for example apk software
I have the same issue,having the Internet Pass-Through function (which uses PC's connection on the phone) of Desire HD builds on the Desire builld would be great.
yap
its easy you can use your pc's wifi and turn it into a access point
and then using it trough the wifi
can't be easier than this
see,you left out the most important part: problem is that not all of the pc's have wifi!!!
There is also USB tethering, although you'll have to check if there's any builds with it working.
I don't bother with it as I use wifi tethering instead.
The program Connectify is working pretty good, to use my netbooks LAN connection as access point. Always use it abroad when in hotels without wifi and only wired internet. Works only with windows7 though.

I really feel the need to help the OP here. I don't have an answer to his question, but I do understand what he's asking for, and other people seem to be answering different things!!!
He want's to use a USB cable (not wifi) to allow his phone to use his PC's internet connection.
Tethering is irrelevant (that's using the phone's internet connection on the PC) and he does not have a wireless router so cannot use wifi on his phone.
In response to the OP, the only thing I've ever seen as a conclusive answer is that this cannot be done (there is no software that currently does it). That was an answer on a website from about 7 months ago though, and I am aware of the option on the Desire HD, so there is obviously a way to do it now.
I hope you find what you're looking for

IN the revolution HD 2.2 mdeejay NAND version - you have this option built in in this rom !!!
i used it - its working.
USB tethering is part of the Froyo OS. The problems you may have are that it does not work correctly with a lot of builds. Most of the HTC builds tend to work though.
Hmmm.... I also have the same problem.
I don't want to use the 3G Data connection for internet because it's expensive so it would be really useful to get internet through usb from a computer.
So far I only saw this option on M-Deejay's Revolution HD rom and for me it was kind of a heavy build. Worked kinda slow so I flashed a different rom which doesn't have the usb internet pass through.
I also tried Connectify. My phone connected to the computer's wireless but the internet didn't work. I tried disabling my firewall, opening ports, and other things but it just doesn't work. I think it has to do with the software not supporting all WiFi cards.
So now I'm having trouble getting on the internet with my phone to download apps. I have to go outside and look for some WiFi networks to do it and that kinda sucks
I think it finally works! I installed the latest Connectify beta version from here:
http://connectify.blogspot.com/2010/11/connectify-211-beta-up-for-testing.html
And it kinda works now! I think it's just a bit slow.

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.
You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.
For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.
I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...
Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks
Hello one and all, Great job on CM7, however i have not been able to use my wireless for anything. On CM7.0 RC1,3,4 it wouldn't even turn on. Now on CM7.1 RC1 / nightly's, it will turn on, but it will error out when it try's to activate the interface. I can get USB teather to work, but not the wireless. the radio work fine as it is, it is the stock radio, and im not fond of upgrading it. IF you want the log let me know
There are lots of bugs with every CynogenMod Roms. They try to reduce it with every update.
So try to get the latest release, hope it solve your problems.

To answer your question. There are several apps in the "app world" that will work with most, if not all, ROMs.
You can use Barnacle from the market.
[https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&hl=en]
Or you can use the Open Source .apk
[http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list]
The nice thing about the Google Code one is you can block MAC addresses so not everyone is tethering off of you in public places. I always like leaving my SSID shown as something like "mah android powered your iPod", but use the MAC filtering.

haha Connectify continuously made my computer crash. I had to uninstall it in Safe Mode. Make sure that the network sharing adapter is the one with the internet connection and the hosting adapter has Wifi compatibility. I think the settings can be found when right-clicking on the Connectify icon on the Taskbar.
Can u xplain it a bit more for me? Want to conect my phone with my laptop's internet

Have you had this problem in multiple ROMs? You can maybe re-install Connectify and try.
WOOT! 400th post
Actually don't think ROMS are the problems! If no phone gets the signal it cause of something isn't it? I think swift can but IDk

I don't use Connectifi cause it was not working well for me (driver problems etc.) so I searched for something similar and found Maryfi. This tool works nicely and is pretty easy to use.
Gonna try it then! Hope it works, u think it gives internet to the phone?
Well, im actually using Pebe's 2.3.7 v5.1 rom, and it detects conetifity and works fine! Cool! thanks anyways!
