I'm on SC2.9 with one of JT's Froyo kernels, both are a few months old now and I was wondering if I used the Wifi Tether app, would VZW be able to monitor? I recall at the time, no-one was certain if the JT's kernels with integrated Voodoo color/sound/lagfix had the dummy tether module or not.
I just picked up a Asus Transformer and wanted to take it on the road this weekend and wanted to know if I could tether to my Fascinate.

Im currently on superclean 2.8 voodoo eb16 with the dummy kernel. I had clicked on the vzw 3g mobile hotsoit app just seeing what it does and it said I could turn it on and it worked... so now does that mean I'm going to be charged for it? Cuz I turned it off right after realizing it worked. As I was unsure that it would actually let me do it since you have to sign up for the tethering plan separately through vzw website. Though I guest what I'm asking is since the app let me turn it on does that mean that it automatically signed me up for the tethering plan? Ima call Verizon Wireless tomorrow to see about it since it wasn't that I wanted to sign on. And since the Verizon framework was removed as far as I know from Adrynalynes change log notes I figured the app wouldn't work, and since it did-does that mean that I didn't get charged and will not get charged due to the dummy kernel module? :-/.
You shouldn't be charged for just turning the feature on with your phone. If you had connected a computer to it and tried to browse the web, a page would have come up asking you to sign up for the service. As long as you don't have it activated on your Verizon account, no real data was used, and you shouldn't be charged.
All of the Froyo kernels from Samsung look like they have something in them from Verizon that would find out if we are using tethering and circumventing their charges. The dummy tether module in the latest kernels, from what I've read, should help to prevent Verizon from finding out if we use other wireless tether apps/methods. It shouldn't have any impact on Verizon's Mobile Hotspot app.

Thanks a lot. Do you know if the new superclean 2.9 is compatible with the eb16 kernel with the dummy module from superclean 2.8?

It should be. Per the notes on the superclean thread, the reason ardynalyne changed to the EB01 kernel is because of stability issues with the EB16 kernel.
"--Moved backed to tried and true eb01 kernels. Sorry tetherers, the modded eb16 kernels were just way too unstable."
I know I've seen posts where people are having problems with mobile data dropping out frequently. If you are willing to put up with any issues that arise from using the EB16 kernel, go for it, it should still work fine with superclean 2.9.
I flashed the above and remembered that a while ago froyo kernels from Verizon had a built in to the leaked kernels. Considering the AOSP Voodoo kernel is from the Mesmerize build, do we have to worry about the wifi tether snoop? I ask cause sometimes I use the wireless tether app.
Thanks in advance!

Hey all,
Just moved for work to a new locale that has no internets... really annoying. I have been attempting to use my Thunderbolt to tether, but it frequently drops out on me and I was wondering if anyone had success with a rom/ app combo for prolonged moderate to heavy internet use. Currently I am using:
-CM7 test 6
-usb tether included on CM7
any suggestions/ ideas are appreciated. If I can't get this to work I'll be building some ridiculous cardboard/ tinfoil contraption in an attempt to connect to my works wifi down the road. Thanks
I have been using Wireless Tether from the market on various BAMF roms with zero issues. No USB needed!
You'll likely need to swith to airlpane mode and connect to wfi on your bolt to find this app. VZW doesn't want you to find it.
I have used Wifi Tether and Barnacle on many Froyo and GB roms, mostly BAMF versions, and I have not had any issues w/ them running.
I've been having good luck using the easytether program off the market on bamf and gingeritis.
i couldnt get barnacle to work with 4g. does anyone know an app that does? id prefer wireless tether but usb would be fine
I'm a heavy "tetherer" (if that's a word...) and I found that the gingerbread radio is the fastest radio, for the phone and for tethering, which means you'll obviously have to be on a gb rom (I'd personally recommend the new bamf 2.1), and I always use the 'wireless tether' app which works the best without any issues (unlike barnacle and others), and i use it for heavy streaming like netflix on pc and ipad, and it works flawless. (You better have it charging though or else your battery will die in no time) cm7 is still pretty unstable (on the thunderbolt) so i don't know why anyone would use it day to day (again only tb, it's my favorite on my evo though!)
hope this helps
Being a forum mod, it will be doubly bad if i have missed this somewhere, but i swear i searched, and found nothing much..
SO, I just joined the rezound family, up from my incredible.. my warrenty was void within hours..
One of the big things about my Inc was the ability to tether with WPA2 encryption.. handy in the work environment where they don't want too many open hotspots.
Now, i have already thrown a ICS rom on my Zound, since my current tab (Touchpad with CM9) does not support ad-hoc (from what i have found). But, i have always longed for BT tethering, since it is the least obvious (again, managed work enviroment).
For all the talk of wifi, has any real progress been made using BT? Given that ICS is still a but unstable, i wouldn't mind going back to GB, but would need other tethering instead of ad-hoc.
Any advice (aka.. your free chance to slap around a mod for not finding something obvious... )
I have searched far and wide for this with little success. I think the answer is to wait for cm9 to come to the rezound. But that is probably months away.. :/.

After more searching, i still come up short. We really cannot be the only two hat needs bt tether...
Doesn't open garden support BT tether?
I've looked as well and haven't found anything. I know PDA net has that option, but I've never gotten it to work properly.

I use PDANet to Bluetooth tether my Mac. I'm on a mostly stock ROM. Works great but slowly (since my Mac is a 2004 model).
But I know it works on GB.
On ics, you should be able to select routing fix (and mms clamping?) And choose cdma GNex in google WiFi Tether app and use infrastructure.
I did it on Ineff ICS.
+1 to this problem. My phone's battery would make love to whoever figures this out.

Tried a several wifi tether options on my rooted captivate running froyo but none seem to work with my prime. what are other people using?
Your kernel also needs to support tethering. Mine sgs2 works like charms with my prime. Can you tether other devices to your phone? If now, flash another kernel
