Does anyone have the usb tether option working on a Evo 2.2 Froyo? I know it worked in 2.1 as internet sharing, but Sprint seems to have disabled it for 2.2. I'm just wondering if anyone has found a rom that has it enabled besides cynanogen.
Thanks
there was a thread that it worked. do you have root access
Edit
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
this is the apk you need if you have root
I'm running the stock rooted froyo update 3.28.651.1 with the latest WiFi tether (pre-9) and its working fine. Just root your phone and download the source code from Google. Don't download the earlier packages as well as the one in the market, because they don't appear to work.
For the wired tethering option:
If you connect it to your computer via USB, there is an option under the "Connect to PC" sub menu that will put your phone into USB tethering mode, or you can go to the "Wireless and Networks" sub menu and check it from the box at the very bottom under mobile network.

Has anyone had any luck getting a Fire to connect to the Adhoc Wifi thru their X? Running a rooted stock X with Barnacle, Open Garden & Wifi Tether Beta10 & 11. Fire is rooted stock with the Zt-180 app installed to try to get the Fire to use Adhoc Wifi. Set the app up to use my Droid in Adhoc mode and can connect to the DROID but no apps work. Have tried some of the other phone profiles as suggested but with no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I currently am using cm9 ics jackpotclavins latest build on my kindle fire. apparently this builds wpa_supplicant file does not support adhoc. I tried everything I could think of replacing wpa_supplicant from cm7 build to cm9 no go tried a few different modifications of wpa_supplicant online did not work, ics build uses wpa supplicant 0.6.10. I even tried a patch online. I love using my tablet at work using the wifi from my smartphone. I cannot do this one ice cream sandwich, but do not want to give that up just because of this feature. Is there a work around that anyone knows of to get adhoc on kindle fire ics?
What kind of phone are you using I have tethered mine with a LG, HTC, and a Samsung, With no problems.
What app are you using to tether with?
Had the same problem. Install "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher", works OK for me!
I did install zt-180 adhoc switcher and it doesnt do jack just forces close. Im using his latest build with the video fix. I tether with a droidx with the latest 2nd init rom of miui. using wifi tether. My computer can connect to the adhoc network so i know the network is up and running. if you guys have no problems I dont know what else to do any suggestions?
just an update I read online of people having their droidx in infrastructure mode aka softap, not adhoc, I've tried also to get wireless tether in infrastructure but in any version i try it goes to adhoc is intrastructure mode possible with droidx?
you don't need any app for infrastructure mode - that's the mode wifi normally works on every access point
Try Wifi Tether and enable MSS clamping and Routing fix in the settings and see if that works.
Same Problem
I tried this with my ICS Kindle fire and it did not work i also tried ZT 180 Ad Hoc Tethering Switch and it just keeps force closing
so I found the culprit for infrastructure mode any gb based miui rom will not support infrastructure mode. you must use a cyanogen mod 7 or froyo miui, i can confirm a cyanogen mod 7 will enable infrastructure mode for the droidx. right now atm i still use atm as my daily drive and whenever i want to use my kindle fire away from the house and there is any unsecured wifi around I use boot manager to boot into cyanogenmod 7 to enable the infrastructure mode not adhoc
Maybe, i'm on rooted stock (6.2.1) and, as i told, zt-180 works ok for me
Anyone used the above app and has no problem with kindle?

By using this apk, it allows kindle to connect to an ad hoc network? Sorry for asking noob question, cause I am trying to connect my phone that only support ad hoc mode.

All of the cm7 ROMs and most of the cm9 ROMs(Jackpot/hashcode's ROM and also NRG's ROM) have ad hoc wifi enabled. C'mon...What are you guys scared of? Rooting is waaaay harder than flashing and that's not saying much. I promise the devs on here make good sh*t. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks although I've got it already. Don't blame me because I've googled it by an hour with no result before asked here.
Now I've problem with launching both ZT 180 and Adhoc enabler.
ZT 180 report "the file which should be modified by the app are not presented at its expected location"..
Ad hoc enabler report "unable to write file system under read/write mode"
I'm using Kindle Fire stock rom 6.2.1, rooted, Busy Box installed.
Any idea for my problem.
allthrough i used it with 6.2.1 i don't know why you don't update to 6.2.2
this should correct any misssing files also
would recommend to use the nfx update for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452082
btw. what do you mean with "zt180 and adhoc enabler" ? - you only need zt180 on the kf - it enables adhoc mode

Hey,
I've been trying to get the wifi to work with my ad hoc network after installing the Energy CM9 rom
It's said in the thread that adhoc wifi is supported, but I can't see nor connect to my adhoc network.
I'll try a CM7 rom to test. Meanwhile, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thx
Sorry for the stupid question, but what is the practical use for Kindle with adhoc wi-fi enabled. Internet connection tethering to the other device that has problems connecting directly? I am new in all this and now I have Kindle with ICS CM9 flashed - rom that supports adhoc wi-fi. So now I am just curious, does it do any good and how can I use it.

It's not a question of better or worse network. Wifi networks can typically be configured in either Infrastructure or Adhoc mode.
In infrastructure, the network is centralized around an access point, which is in most cases a router. All the devices connect to this particular access point and all the data exchanged between the devices on this network will go through the access point. For example, if pc A wants to send data to pc B, it's going to be:
pc A ----> Access Point ----> pc B.
In adhoc, there is no central point for the network. The devices communicate directly with each other. For the same example as before, it would be:
pc A ----> pc B
The thing is, I receive internet through a 4G usb adapter plugged into my PC, and I configured my pc to share the internet connection over the wifi. Windows allows to do that quite easily, but my network card (or its driver, or Windows 7... I'm not sure who's at fault here...) only allows me to create an Adhoc network. So here I am, with my 4G usb adapter shared through an adhoc wifi network. It works great: 2 PCs and 2 phones can connect to the Adhoc wifi and receive internet through it without any problem.
However, I can't get my kindle fire to connect to it. I've tried several solutions and adhoc enablers... without success.
@braintrap: Can you give me a link to the rom you used if it works to connect to an adhoc network ?
And to answer your question "does it do any good and how can I use it." No! There is no advantages of using an adhoc network if your current wifi network works well. Just enjoy
Has anyone succeeded to connect to an adhoc with a Kindle Fire ? If yes, what rom was running (stock, CM7, CM9....) ?
Thanks for any help.
Hi...
I've tried with Hashcode's, Energy and AOKP Rom's and none of the see my iPhone's Personal Hotspot.
I'm really looking forward to sharing the iphone's data plan with the Kindle in order to use it for RSS Reading and browsing anywhere!!
Thanks,
Carlos

Can you tell me is it possible to set tethering option on Ideos X5, i want to use data from mobile tarife on my PC? Is it possible and how?
Which ROM are you using? Are you looking to tether via cable or wifi?
Some have it built-in. Or try downloading an app from the market.
EDIT: Here are some apps you can try.
Open Garden
Wifi Tether for root
ClockworkMod Tether (no root) - USB Tethering
Barnacle
