Greetings from other sections of XDA...
Got a quick question... already searched and I believe I've found what I needed but would rather ask to be sure, since it's the lead developer's phone at work I'll be messing with... He's on stock ICS and want's to stay that way, except enable WiFi tethering... root is an option if it's needed...
So far I've found these solutions:
Root the phone, and load the Google tether app:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
FoxFi:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mb3hmaSJd
He wants the software to stay EXACTLY as it is, but with tethering added, and doesn't mind root if it's required...
Any comments or suggestions?
I hve the Razr 912 and FoxFi works great without needing to be rooted.
I am using FoxFi as well and it is very reliable.

Hi
Been digging around for a bit on here and google.
Do any of the Froyo roms for Hero have the new wifi hotspot feature. Thats what I would use most. Have installed one but does not appear to be in there.
I'm not sure if any of the ROMs have it built in (I'm still on 2.1), but you can use an app like android-wifi-tether or aNetShare to get it done.
Have been using Wifi Tether, but on VillainRom 12 the encryption does not work. Have installed that on the Froyo rom now and encryption works, so must be an issue with the 2.1 Rom I had on phone.
Bump!
Any new roms that support wifi hotspot?
Most the Rom's I have used have been rooted, and I have effectively used Wireless tether for Root (Android Market)

This seems to be a problem with the both CM7 and MIUI at the moment. Barnacle works, but only provides ad hoc networking. That's fine if you want to tether a PC or laptop, but won't work for tethering an android tablet. At the moment, there is no off the shelf solution for tether tablets, though there is a method that involves rooting and altering the tablet so that it can work on ad hoc networks.
I've been able to tether using 3rd party wireless tether on both miui and cm7 with no problems
Im on latest MIUI and im using wireless tether 2.0.5-pre13 and it works flawlessly for me.
hi
haven't used the teather but does anyone know if the hotspot charges you or is it "free"
Same problem on Motorola Defy - MIUI
I have the same problem on Moto Defy with MIUI.
The "Wireless Tether for Root Users" was perfectly able to tether in infrastucture mode on Moto Defy with Eclair and Froyo.
In MIUI the same software id doesn't! It's just able to tether in ad-hoc mode.
Quite a big limitation.
Is there a solution to the AP tethering issue with MIUI. Did anyone get it to work?
I have an HTC Vivid running Gingerbread 2.3.4. I see that in other versions I can edit the build.prop to bypass AT&T's tethering block, but none of the language in my file read anything close to the previous files.
The device is rooted and I have an editor. I also have downloaded apps that tether (and work, currently) but they only tether through wifi and I'd like to bypass it all together so that I can connect via USB, wifi or BT.
Anyone figured this out yet?

Try clockworkmod tethering app.
How
How do you have the wifi tether working? I am rooted also and I've tried tons and tons of wifi tether apps such as barnacle and wifi tether. Neither work. To answer your question though, easy tether products works fine for us tethering. I would be very greatly if you could help me wifi tether. You don't pay for it do you?
Ummmmm, nevermind lol. I just read another post that had the property settings for android wifi tether. I'm super happy now. I've been trying to this forever!
Thanks xda!
I see patches for other phone that enable the native tethering within the stock phone. I am Rooted with S-Off and TWRP but I just prefer the stability of the stock build. Only complaint is that I prefer the Android stock tethering instead of an App.
Anyone know of or able to help with that?

I've tried a few different ROMs on the DNA, and so far only some of them have the stock tethering enabled. I think that the "provisioning check" on the DNA is done differently than other phones I've had, as I could enable tethering by using a SQL editor and changing a single value to make the phone think tethering had been activated by Verizon.
That being said, I tried the same thing and couldn't find the correct value to change, and I don't wanna mess up my phone, so I've resorted to FoxFi when it's not enabled in the ROM. FoxFi is nice because it sets up a VPN to trick your phone into thinking it's just connecting to a VPS instead of tethering through Verizon's data plan. Works great for me!
Hi everyone,
I would like to add wifi tether back to my phone, since I'm currently running 4.4 unrooted on my DNA.
My Droid DNA *isn't rooted* and I currently don't have any interest any ROMs or anything involving a full root. I very happy with stock at the moment and only miss the occasional WIFI tether. I have used FoxFi in the past and it currently doesn't support the droid DNA.
So what I'm thinking is just giving my phone temp root with weaksauce, and use a root access app like "WiFi Tether for Root Users" by Müller, Lemons, Buxton
* Install weaksauce + Super SU for root
* Install wifi tether app and use that
* Set wifi app to Generic WLAN 0 and check routing fix so it would tether correctly
* Use temp root and root app until foxfi comes out with DNA support
* uninstall super SU and weaksauce for it to be completely stock again
So would this work? Would root be removed if i just uninstall Super SU, then Weaksause? Has anyone used Weaksause on the Droid DNA? Is there something unstable with Weaksause, that makes it not practical for this? Is there a better wifi tether app for 4.4?
I can live without WIFI tether, but I thought this could be a handy trick to bring it back. If anyone has tried this or any of these steps, please let me know. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
I used weaksauce to root/s-off my DNA. I can say that it was easy, and it is simple to reverse, I think it'd be safe to try!
Weak sauce work for me for temp root as well. Not sure about the rest of your strategy though.

The WiFi teather for root users app doesn't work on kit Kat as far as I know. They may have updated it but it wasn't working last month.

O wow, I wasn't aware of that.Thanks for that tip. I looked around on the market today, and didn't see any apps with 4.4 support... So I believe that is still the case.
-Now I know Weaksauce, is a solid way to get some temp root for apps only (no ROMs, and flashing)
-Weaksauce is super easy to install and remove
-And currently there is still no app (rooted or non-rooted) supporting WiFi tether on the Droid DNA running 4.4
I think I'll wait for FoxFi to come out with a fix for the Droid DNA. I don't think it should be that much longer because, they seem to have a fix on Samsung phones. I may use Weaksauce for some root access apps in the future, so thanks on that info.
Thanks Everyone
FoxFi now works on 4.4 for the DNA
FoxFi now has it working,so give it a try.

It does work on Kit Kat. I've used it on stock, without root, and it seems to work. It redirects you to the stock wifi tether, while its opening a free tether port, so you can manually turn it on there. It has trouble turning on sometimes, Do NOT hit the call Verizon for subscription button. It takes a little patience, so keep trying to launch and it'll go eventually. Turning off the tether works best when I turn it off through the stock wifi, rather than FoxFi. Hope this helps and let me know if you decide to try with root access or another ROM.
i have a cricket lg l70. 4.4.2 kit kat rooted ....teather wifi router working awsome....2.50$ on the play store..open app. if its not working for you. go to there help page and configure for ur devise...
