Hi folks,
I have tried a few of ROMs in this forum, but none of them support the Wireless Tether software.
I found that Enabling NAT rules - failed.
Now I'd like to get a ROM which can support Wireless Tether and it's better to be Android 2.3.5 but not compulsory.
I am waiting on line for your replies.
Cheers
Winston
use barnacle wifi tether or wireless tether from market, they are working very well
If you want to use 2.3.5 version, flash Swiftdroid RC4 ROM but if you prefer to use 2.2.1 just flash Utopia ROM.
They're both support native wifi tethering, so you don't need any third party software.

Swiftdroid RC4 2.3.5 have native wireless tether and working perfect
Yeah, on SwiftDroid everything works very well. ;-)
My softmod is based on RC4 but i also included pda.net which has helped some people personally though i would say if its not working for you try a few 3rd party apps as stated above you are bound to find atleast one that will work for you good luck on your endevour

I have tried multiple roms on my phone, both if tiamats kernals on the XOOM and can't for the life of me get the xoom to see my wifi connection being broadcast by my droid incredible. I have verified that it is working by connecting my laptop to my d-inc so for some reason the Xoom won't see it. Anyone get this working, how? I ahve also tried BT pan and that won't work either.
Cyanogen 6.1 stable with my Inc and I have tethered WiFi fine. I set up with WPA2 security. Nothing special.
RE:
I have used tethering with IHFTP69's Skyraider rom and it works just fine.
Thats the main reason that I didn't get a data plan with my xoom is cuz I got the D-INC.
LOVE IT =D
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll change roms and give it a shot. Are you using the Wifi-Tether app pre11?
i have been able to use the wifi tether, however, I have not been able to get a Bluetooth tether going. My work shouts down rogue APs, so indeed to be able to use the Bluetooth coonection... anyone been able get this going as well?

Your issue is the Wireless Tether App, not your ROM. The Wireless Tether App from the Market uses Ad-Hoc mode, not infrastructure mode. Use the built in android tether or the newest Wireless Tether Beta, which I think uses the proper WiFi mode.
Cyanogen 7 stable stock tether works great. Bluetooth is another story, I would also love to get BT tether working with the dinc
the latest wireless tether has infrastructure so give it a try

So you are saying that Pre11 works with your Incredible and CM7? Is your Xoom rooted? Does it have the stock kernel?
I am using 3.0 -pre4 experimental. It works great with xoom.

What phone do you have and what rom. Also is your XOOM rooted? If so what kernel is it running, stock, tiamet, brushdog?
I am using my unrooted Dinc to wifi-tether my Xoom just fine, and I am not paying for the tethering fee. I am using the stock tethering app that came out with froyo.
Having issues with wifi and tethering?
What ive noticed on the native tethering app in CM7 or Decks, you need to load a webpage or use data on your phone for it to route an IP address for the connected devices. Ive noticed on the Wireless Tether app, it works instantly. Though, using the native method you most often have to do what I stated above.
So you couldn't post this in the deck development thread. How do we expect people to be able to fix their phones when they don't post in the proper sections.

He can't post in that forum due to the same reason I can't. Not enough posts. I've been using Deck's rom for awhile now and have had my own issues but can't post on that forum until I have at least 10 posts.
Just try the new CM7 nightly, its Android 2.3.5 and everything is working great, even GPS lol

Ive been using Decks roms since Alpha but CM7 has been updating quicker and Decks is only a slimmed down version of Cm7... No matter what anyone says
Use the built in tethering. In setting/wireless/tethering. Works perfect.
The wifi tethering app will work for some things and not others. I also use the built in one.
I keep getting "error" with built

My AOSP tethering experiences FWIW
I am running a similar AOSP GB ROM (OMGB 1.2, 2.3.4 build) and while the tethering works, I am experiencing the following:
Using native tethering it creates an infrastructure network, although it takes a while to establish connection as a previous poster pointed out.
Using Wireless Tether 2.0.7, it connects instantly, but it is an ad hoc network.
Just loaded the new CM7 nightly 63 with 2.3.5 and Netarchy's 1.3.9 cfs and my native wireless hot spot which was apparently blocked with 2.3.5 update still works.
My guess is that Netarchy didn't merge the function which blocked it in the kernel so if you are on a stock 2.3.5 rom try the kernel to see if you get it back.
why not just use wifi tether and be done with it?
Because wireless tether ( I assume that's what you mean) doesn't create a true wifi hot spot. Try connecting another android device or tablet and you'll find out. Not everything works with wireless tether.

Pretty sure. Settings shows Android Version 2.3.5, Build GRJ90 and Baseband D720SPRKE5
Here's the scenario:
Turn on phone, go to wireless settings, turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot.
Turn on wifi-only tablet. Find my wifi hotspot. Connect.
It works exactly the same now as it did before.
It may (or may not - I don't know) be worth pointing out that there is not and may never be 4G in my area and that most of the time 3G isn't functional, so this isn't a very fast connection.

I have the AT&T Nexsus S and the native tether is not working right out of the box. I know this is for Sprint you are talking about, and since I just got phone Saturday I am trying to learn all this mods and stuff, so would I able to install the CM7 nightly 63 and would I have to get the 2.3.5 or could I just leave the 2.3.4 that is installed on my Nexsus S?
Also will have to look up what NEtarchy's 1.3.9 cfs is LOL
I just got my new Nexus S 4G (Sprint) last night from eBay and it came with 2.3.4 preloaded. I just verified with a coworker who has already upgraded hers to 2.3.5 (also Sprint) and she says that the wifi hotspot feature still works for her just fine. I was going to hold off on doing the update because of this, but now I think I can safely upgrade. Yay!
I am on Bugless Pete's Stock + root and Netarchy 1.3.7 cfs... No workie. I will try 1.3.9 shortly.

Loaded netarchy 1.3.9 cfs for stock roms, cleared cache, dalvik-cache, and fix perms.. Tethering still doesn't work.
How I checked:
Start tethering, 3g data disappears within 10 seconds. Disable tethering, 3g data comes back within 10 seconds.

Since it is a feature code added to the account, and the process for enabling WiFi hotspot includes humans, I highly doubt he is telling you a lie. I also doubt that he is the only person in the world that has working WiFi hotspot on 2.3.5.
Edit for clarification:
Humans make mistakes. The appropriate feature code could have been accidentally added to his account by mistake, or tether blocking might not be working correctly in this person's area.

Mine works!
Had a stock 2.3.4 rooted, downloaded the update from google. booted into clockwork recovery and applied the .zip. When it finished it showed unlocked but had stock recovery. Used the one click root and reinstalled clockwork.
My native wireless tether allows my XooM tablet to connect. I don't subscribe to that service either...
If you're on netarchys I believe he does something to enable native tether. Oh and btw, after turning it on, it will disable 3g but wait few minutes and it will come back in white icons. Just make sure you give it some time.

I have a stock Android Nexus S 4g with 2.3.5 and wireless hotspot is working.
It came from Best Buy yesterday with 2.3.4 and I did an OTA prior to rooting it.
The only modification made to the phone has been 1clickroot.
You guys who are having issues with the native hotspot not working after 2.3.5, should look into buglesspete's flashable fix for it. It's in the 4g dev forums and even downloadable through CWM. Not sure if it's just for his rom or not.

Is there is a working wireless tether app that works and doesn't trigger the built in one?

Sorry it took so long for someone to get back to you. I recently tried to tether after having not tethered for a couple weeks, just to find everything being redirected to Verizon's site. I try a few different tethering apps and I even re-install my ROM (liberty). Eventually, I get EasyTether. Worked great. Search it in the app store and pay for it if it works for you. It's quite fast and the most stable tethering app I've ever used. The only problem is you have to connect your phone to the computer via usb, but I was then able to create an ad hoc network for my brother to use through my laptop.
PDAnet should still be working. Look for it in the market.
I know verizon is messing w/a lot of the tethering apps. Theres a good article here CNN Tethering w/verizon
Barnacle has been working well for me. I don't have the stock tethering app any more because I'm running CM7 and not blur, so I can't make that assumption. The free version works, the only thing the donate version gives you is a nifty toggle widget. I bought because this dev did a great job.
I'm still using Wireless Tether for Root Users. I was on a GB leak for awhile, Apex I think, before I tried to tether again and could not get it to work, seemed I was at a crossroads. Netflix via GB, or tethering via Froyo. I weighed the options and decided I just needed tether more so I went back to a Fission Froyo. I was surprised to find out that the Netflix app actually worked, guess they fixed that. All and all a Froyo Rom was just better for me. Too many bugs on the various GB roms, and tether doesn't seem to work, believe it was something that was built into the leaked releases that could tell when you try to tether, that's not there on Froyo. So if you're desperate, roll it back, should work for you.
I used Barnacle today and it works perfectly.

Hello
I have a Droid X on 2.3 It's rooted and everything and recently I tried tethering. Every time I connect to my phone with my iPad it sends me to Verizon's page to subscribe to tethering plan. I was using Wireless Tether..but that stopped working..so now I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether. That was working great until I updated to 2.3 I saw in the market WIFI Tethering but that wouldn't even download. Anyway for me to tether without verizon sending me to the subscribe to a tethering plan page?
Thank you

I am very curious now, because I am still on Froyo, and I just checked and my DroidX does indeed have the DataManager .apk and the database files! (by the way, the database has 50,000 records!) Does this mean that big red is also tracking tethering on Froyo??? The reason I kept refusing to switch to GB is because of that issue. Hmm..
Tried the patch above twice
Back to the drawing board I guess... I'm not really sure how to figure out this adhoc thing... With the beta app above, open garden, and barnacle I can see the SSID but it will not connect, and when I'm on my Xoom it says adhoc not supported. But the thing is, I could tether before, and I could connect with the xoom; before I installed MIUI 1.10.7 android version 2.3.5 gb
Before I flashed this rom I never heard of this adhoc... I am reading that there may be no fix for this right now, is that correct???
The link above installed okay, but when I go to open the app it installs I get a force close =/

Check your permissions on root explorer.
And example is
Use root explorer
Go too app data
Click on wifi tether
Check to make sure under owner execute is checked.
make sure if you got the wugfresh patch you select droid x under profile in settings. Common mistake.
Also with a custom rom you may want to go back to stock and try the wugfresh process again. I can assure you it works on a droid x. I've done it many times not with a custom rom though.
