what hotspot app you guys use with rooted phone besides the default?
WiFi tether if you're on a sense Rom or native hotspot with froyo if you're running cm6
Big pimping with the XDA app!
Myn's Warm 2.2 has a cracked version of the Sprint App so it's free. I've been using it, but I haven't gotten around to actually turning off the service to see if it still works.
thanks guys
My girlfriend recently got a MyTouch 3G, and I was thinking about rooting it for her. I have a couple questions. I've read about some of the Roms and the rooting process.
1. Does the Wireless Tether for root users app work? I saw that some Roms have USB tethering unlocked, which will also work, I just hoping to use Wireless Tether.
2. What ROM would you recommend? I want to be on a Sense based ROM. I haven't figured out if its A or B but it has the headphone jack.

There is no sense rom for the headphone jack, but however there are rom that have root+wireless tether. Go to www.theunlockr.com and there are how to's to root. and there are also all roms for your phone that are linked to xda
You can go here instead to root. There are Sense UI ROM's that you can flash on that phone from the G1 Development Section.
You need to read over this thread and you'll learn a good bit about your myTouch.
wireless tether
I recently rooted my tmobile mytouc 3g and have attempted to download wireless tether for root users from the market place but it doesn't come up. It comes up on the market with my Acer a500 and I even attempted to send it via bluetoothto my phone but it still doesn't allow me to install. It mentioned something about my provider not allowing me to have it. My phone is using clockwork mod with cyanogen 5.0.8-dp. If anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks
You might try cyanogen 6.1 stable so you can have the 2.2 android that may be the reason its not showing in the market. There are other wifi tether apps as well

5.0.8 cyanogen on my phone allows teathering. Right in the wifi and network settings.

The built in wifi/Bluetooth tether doesn't work. I think its because of my a500 tab and android 3.0. You think it would be easier because they are both android, oh well. I didn't attempt the update to 6.1 yet.
Well I have a apk that will run on cm6.1 for sure so let me know

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.

Hello I have a rooted shift with Supreme Sense. I love the wifi tether feature, and it is my only source of internet for my PC right now. My 3g tether works fine, and I'm getting consistent slow speeds with it. However, when I have 4g enabled and then turn on Sprint Hotspot, my 4g bars go away and are replaced with 3g. When I don't enable Sprint Hotspot, my phone gets 1 to 2 bars of 4g and works very well. However, as soon as I turn the hotspot on I get nothing. Did something go wrong when I rooted my phone? Is there any way for me to tether with 4g?
Thanks for your help

No you didn't do anything wrong, and nothing is wrong. The Hotspot Tether Hack/Mod only works in 3G. But you can try THIS to improve your 3G speeds.

I don't run sense roms at all but on all of the AOSP roms you can tether on both usb and wifi hotspot no problem. It's built into the roms so you don't need any hacks or anything. Some examples are Cyanogenmod, Kush Deck, and MIUI.

Yes you can on all of the above listed roms besides MIUI. Sorry forgot for a sec that doesn't have 4g lol. And none of the ICS roms have 4g yet either. Cyanogenmod is the best rom for 4g tethering i.m.o

The WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether is built into the Roms on Sense also. But by definition it is a mod / hack. Because it is something not normally allowed without paying for it.

I never said I needed to wifi tether. I don't even use 4G as I have wifi. My tethering works perfectly on cyanogenmod without the use of a market app.
Keep in mind wifi tether uses the wifi radio. You can tether over 4g wifi on aosp for sure. Not sure about sense. Will test.

works fine for me on ss8 and ss9 using wireless tether (but i think you have to find the app from other sources, i think it was pulled from market)
Hey guy's, that open garden app is excellent. Now I am tethering with 4G. Thanks so much for that tip . Would you still recommend I do the change to make 3G faster? or could it mess up my phone?

You can still make the changes to speed up 3G upload / download speeds. It will not mess anything up. Just make sure to pay attention to what your doing. But if I remember correctly you said your running Supreme Sense. The changes for faster 3G are already made. Just double check to make sure, but I do believe the changes are already implemented. So you might just be in a bad area for 3G .

Hmmm... Market is telling me "This app is incompatible with your Sprint HTC PG06100." & "This item is not available on your carrier." Any other way to get the app (or other options for 4G wifi tether on a Sense based ROM)? I'm running a Synergy and would really like to keep it.
Update - N/m, downloaded APK from Open Garden's site> download and place on (I put on the root of) sd card > open Astro File Manage (free from Market) > find .apk file, select, install (make sure you allow third party apps to be installed) > Nice
Yeah with Tethering Apps and Sprint you'll run into that a lot. Most of them still work, but if you look on the Market it says imcompatiable. Reason is Sprint doesn't officially want you using them.
Does someone have the current WIFI tether zip file for CM9 and CM10 on the Nexus S 4G?
Why would you need that when both of them support WiFi tethering natively ? Just go to settings under " more" it right there along with NFC & 4g options you will see tethering & portable hotspot

I have not had luck with any tethering app OR native tethering on any JB ROM.
Also, I've never used a ROM (GB, ICS, or JB) that keeps 4G when using native tethering. Only 3G (which is slower than dial-up for me)
I'd like to have a fix for this as well as I use my phone for my home internet.
I keep a backup of stock rooted ICS to switch to from JB when I get home. What a hassle...
I've seen plenty of people posting that are in my same situation.
Here is the link to the app's download page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I have the exact same problem. I couldn't get 4G tethering to work on Gingerbread, it works great on ICS and now I'm back to not having it on JB.

I know when I use Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 and turn on the wifi tether app, it showed up as a error but when I used AOKP, it worked flawlessly.
I was just looking for the same thing earlier today! I actually believed that it wasn't possible to have a 4G wifi tether hotspot until a few days ago, because every time I'd tried it (ICS & JB), I'd be knocked down to 3G lol same thing happens with usb tethering too.
on the bright side, 4G tethering works for me on PDANet and through native bluetooth tethering (which I used to use with my macbook pro) and android wifi tether (after a tweak in the settings)
now that the free version of PDANet sucks and I sold my MBP and am back to a bluetooth-less PC, a fix or something would be great

I even tell CyanogenMod on their Facebook page that it does not work and yet they do not respond.
I have the same issue with any jb rom. Are you guys on sprint as well? I saw another post where the guy said this happens with sprint users and to use foxfi, pdanet, or easytether to get 4g tethering. This worked for me with ics roms but not jb. Whenever I try to tether with a jb rom, I lose my data connection completely.

I too was having a wifi tethering issue, although mine was worse, I was losing all data connection when I attempted to activate the hotspot, however, when I switched over to this AOSP ROM (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...aosp-jellybean-v2-2-jro03l-8-13-12-a.html#anb) over on AndroidCentral, my wifi tether began working. It initially kicks me off 4g, but in certain parts of my home (the restroom to be specific), I can get it to kick over to tethering on 4g, but I just need to be patient. There is also a tethering fix zip somewhere in that thread, but I don't know if it'd work on either CM9 or 10.
I had this same problem on CM9 (WIFI or USB tethering didn't work). I figured out that it happened when I would flash the Trinity Kernel. If I used the kernel that came with the ROM it worked fine. Unfortunately I can't speak for the 4g because I don't live in a 4g area. Now that I've flashed CM10 I've used Air Kernel and I haven't lost my native tethering capapbility.
