Now I use the MiniCM6-1.0.2 [Update 13/6/11] ROM with my X10 Mini and I'm just satisfied.
But one point isn't optimal: with this ROM there is no possibility to do WiFi tethering with WPA. The only tethering app, which is working is Barnacle and this only can WEP.
So i'm searching for a ROM which offers tethering with WPA or WPA2.
Unfortenately there are no discriptions about this feature on the ROM overview.
Perhaps somebody can call me a ROM with the WPA(2)-tethering feature.

Hi, i'm having a problem with turning on the wireless hotspot using the .35 kernel port from riemervdzee. Anyone got a solution to this, except using apps? The wierless tether apps are using ad hoc network wich does not work with some of the stuff in my network (f.ex. ps3 etc.).
thanks for all your great work on this port riemervdzee! love the progress!
First off, my laptop works fine with my phone's ad-hoc tether, but i want to use internet on my psp and vita later down the road as well when i need it, but i can't find any way to tether my X10 other than in ad-hoc mode, which is not supported by most consoles/handhelds.
i found a few guides but it wouldn't work. Would either not broadcast anything or do ad-hoc mode with various apps.
Any way to tether X10 in infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
Ok, so i tried everything and only phone's native tether (under settings, stock ROM latest updates) gives infrastructure, or at least what seems like it, problem arises when i want to access internet and get DNS server error... there are pretty much no settings to mess with there so i am at a loss really. USB tether gives no internet to my laptop either over the native tether under settings.
wireless tether for root users does however work perfectly, but only in ad-hoc mode. The beta version people use on different phones (change device profile select one of the master methods and go) to get infrastructure instead of ad-hoc doesn't work at all, i haven't tried all profiles but on few i tried even though app says tether is on no devices see it, SSID broadcast set to ON.
So any ideas? Could it be provider nonsense? i bought it second hand and it seems to have been unlocked from Orange, but ROM doesn't seem to have all the bloatware from Orange(just news and traffic pretty much) without that I wouldn't even have noticed that it is from Orange.
Would flashing a different ROM help? could it be Orange's ROM is blocking it? Otherwise i might need a new phone
Android isn't able to detect ad-hoc network. There is a program called "connectify" to make discoverable version of ad-hoc for android devices

I want to tether my ps vita and my laptop to my SE xperia X10. i use tether app on my phone to share phone's internet with my console and laptop when i am not home.
also on my laptop i got intel's my wifi app that allows me to rebeam/share internet which is sufficient for my need on my laptop, though thanks for the tip
problem is making my phone tether in infrastructure and not ad-hoc mode. i gone in as much depth as i can about it in the last post, though if you need any more info i'd be glad to provide it if it would help to find a solution...
It is just a stock Xperia X10 with all official updates and rooted... 2.3.3android 2,1,71baseband.
would using a different rom help?

Well, sorry but I don't know how to do that, but changing ROM won't help

[ROM] Wolfs TW Gingerbread | Feel the difference | V7b6 [stable] | 03/12/2011
^ This rom supports infrastructure mode tethering.
I am in the same boat as you friend but I want a different custom rom. I have upgraded my touchpad to ICS which has no support for ad-hoc networks.
I was using the stock rom above for awhile which supported infrastructure mode which was working perfectly but in my world I want to stick with Miui on my x10.
I updated the wifi teather app on the miui rom to the newest one and was playing with the different setting for different devices. I was able to get the tether app to start in master mode with some of the settings for other devices but I was never able to get the touchpad to fully connect to one of these networks. I had it connect briefly when I put a static ip matching the settings on the wifi tether app but it would not make any internet connection.
If we have the ability in a stock rom, why can't it be ported?
i have since tired of not being able to use the major redeeming feature of this phone , which is the quality camera, so i decided to use a stock based ROM, hence FERALAB 20.
I really am not sure this a a fault of the ROM, given that i have noticed it on another previous ROM, but the thing is i cannot detect the WIFI signal from my WIMAX router using this ROM.
wifi works fine, and it does detect my neighbours WIFI networks, but i cannot seem to fathom why it does not detect mine.
like i said, i did notice this on another rom iv tried in the past, but when i changed to FXP 7.2 it worked just fine and detects my wifi network.
I would like to use a stock based ROM so im wondering if their is something i can do to help the situation.
precisely why does this ROM not see thuis particular WIFI signal, but does see others when the same phone running FXP does?
pls note that other devices, phones, laptops do connect to this router without any problem.
and i have noticed also that when i go into wifi settings on my phone, for hotspot settings it has just the options for WPA and Open modes, and no WEP option!
does that mean that the ROM cannot handle WEP connections? FXP works just fine
WEP hotspot is not available because it is a weak security. iPhone hotspots are WEP. android is always a step ahead of iPhone. So, android uses WPA hotspot. even a noob like me can crack a WEP password in 6 hours max if u wanna learn more, google for a software called aircrack. WPA is very very hard to hack. So, basically be happy that android is unhackable and iPhone is hackable.
---------------
if u are using WEP, i recommend changing to WPA or u will never know if your neighbour is stealing ur wifi. this should solve ur prob. and android cannot create WEP hotspot, but can join. i have no idea y u cant join WEP
Anyone get bluetooth tethering to work on 4.2.1? Before I was using FLAPJAXX's ICS ROM and I had bluetooth tethering there. I'm now on PTMR3's Padawan ROM. I'm wondering if FLAPJAXX added it special to his ROM or if it was there in ICS and AT&T removed it from 4.2.1.
I use bluetooth tethering in a Ford Explorer with MyFord Touch. The Explorer then becomes a WiFi hotspot this way. You might be asking, why not just use the WiFi hotspot on my Note. Well when we travel I use Google Maps a lot and it works better with WiFi on and I can't have WiFi on if it's being used as a hotspot.
Thanks!

Android made a change in version 4.1.2 that allows carriers like at&t to tell the difference between regular data, and tethered data. So if you don't have the tethering plan you won't be able to tether.
However some devs have bypassed this in custom roms. There's also apps available that re-enable the tethering feature. You'll have to either find a rom, or an app to get your tether back. I use an app called "power toggles" to add a tether on/off widget.
So im looking for a wep ecrypted wifi hotspot for my lg g4 running 5.1 (forgot codename, lol)
I am FULLY aware that wep is much weaker than compared tk WPA / WPA2, the reason why im looking for WEP is security education purpose.
I know it sound like a simple question to solve with a simple google search, but i cant find anything using google.
Best thing i found was an app called Barnacle on the playstore that has WEP, unfortunatly i also noticed in that thread that it was built for android 2.2.
Any suggestions for a WEP encrypted hotspot?
