Is there a good, free wifi tether app out there? I was hoping I could make the one from my Rezound work, but so far no go. I AM rooted.....

Long-time viewer, first time poster here on XDA. I just wanted to provide some information on setting up WiFi tether on mforminio7's SlimRom v1.7.
(1) Download WiFi Tether for Root Users by Müller, Lemons, Buxton from the Play Store.
(2) Open app, click Menu >> Settings.
(3) Set "Change Device-Profile" to Generic ICS
(4) Set "Change Setup-Method" to Netd (master)
(5) If applicable, set Wifi Encryption to your liking
(6) Scroll to "Routing Fix" and make sure it is checked.
Thanks to Müller, Lemons, Buxton for the awesome Wifi Tether app and mforminio7 for developing the nimble SlimRom.+
UPDATE: XDA member Cares has provided a link to SirGates' Wifi Tether v3.2 Pre1 app which recognizes the HTC Rezound. The link is:

The built-in wifi tether requires a verizon sim card. this bothered me a lot. tried this method, and it works. thank you very much.

Why not use updated WiFi tether which has a Rezound profile and infrastructure mode?

I have a HTC Evo 4G LTE that has been rooted, for some reason I can not get the tether to work, I was able to get the Hot-spot activated, and it works flawlessly. But I can not get the WiFi tether to work. The profile is set to generic, and the build,prop is set to false.
Are you using this app to do it?
WiFi Tether for Root Users
If not, you may want to give it a try. It works for my phone.
Use WiFi tether for rooted uses and do what the app dev tell you to use in the description

I am using WiFi tether for root, that is why I am stumped...I am stuck with S-on, if that has anything to do with it.
I don't know much, but I know I'm S-ON as well and have no problems with it.
Don't u have to set profile to ics or something like that? Try it.

have tried
Auto
Generic
Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)
I then tried it with WiFi encryption, then I turned it off.
It shows a SSID and asks for key, but always fails.
Have you tried everything the dev says to use for HTC phones?
It sounds like no. There are other things your missing

WiFi-driver reload: make sure this is checked

Routing Fix: I usually have it checked, but lately when I've connected to LTE I have to uncheck this to get it to pass along the internet connection.
Hope this helps.

I've unlocked my Rezound and rooted it. I checked the root and its says "congratulations, you are rooted" With that said... I downloaded WiFi Tehter (just as I did with my last HTC Incredible) and tried to hook up my Motorola Xoom. The Xoom won't recognized the Rezounds Wifi but my wife's laptop will but then it won't get online. As a matter of fact, my daughter's IPhone can recognize the Rezound tether and get online.
I have tried every combination of settings to no avail and am willing to try ANYTHING at this point.
make sure you're set to 'Netd (master)' and not ad-hoc. Android devices don't like connecting to ad-hoc networks.

Are you using the app called Wifi Tether with the yellow icon?
If so, it's under Menu, Settings.

Yeah, I have both, green and yellow. I did find it in the yellow's setting. Didn't work. Xoom won't find the WiFi.
Sooo aggravating!

the updated version has the rights set up(yellow icon)
(device profile)rezound cdma/lte
(start up method)netd master
check wifi driver reload
and check enable routing fix
and have your wifi encryption(password) disabled.
are you sure you have root? http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip flash this in custom recovery (i use amonRa) itll give you root on a stock or any rom. open superSU and update binary
download "root checker" from the app store (burrow apps)
start it up grant permission and be sure your rooted.
Also is your mobile data on? i know it sounds funny but i made this mistake before. no mobile data no tether but you can still connect.
also you need to be unlocked, on a custom recovery, and rooted.. i personally use an uninstaller to uninstall to the stock mobile hotspot app.. ive heard it interferes with the rooted apps.
Ok, Here's where I'm at:
On my HTC Rezound -
Device Profile - HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/GSM)
Change Start Up Method - Netd (master)
Wifi Encryption - not checked
Change Channel - on channel 1 (2412 MHz)
Wifi-driver reload is checked
Enable Access-Control is not checked
Keep Alive is not checked
Shutdown Timer is not checked
Idle Shutdown is not checked
Quota Shutdown Limit is not checked
Lan-Network - 192.168.2.0/24
MSS Clamping is not checked
Routing Fix is checked
Preferred DNS - 8.8.8.8
Alt DNS - 8.8.4.4
And yes, the phone is rooted. I checked with the Root Checker program
On the Xoom:
Wifi is on
Advenced settings-
Network Notification - not checked
Keep Wifi on during sleep - Always
Wi-Fi Frequency band - Auto
Mac address - 40:fc:89:f6:b2:09
IP Address - 192.168.1.105
Bluetooth is off
The Xoom still doesn't see the Rezound.
Laptop doesn't see it either
So aggrevating!
I use the following settings on rezound for all roms. In WiFi tether:
#device profile: rezound
#set up: auto
#ssid: change it
#channel: 11
#routing fix: checked
I don't have internet so I actually use this app constantly for x-box live. WiFi tether has worked on every Rom I've flashed(all of them!). With the exception of aokp 1.1 which had WiFi issues

Change the Device-Profile to HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/GSM)
Change Setup-Method to Netd-Ndc (master)
Add Encryption, change passphrase, and change SSID as needed.

Thank you for this!!! Works like a charm now!
I have it working this way too. This way allows it to be encrypted and unencrypted. I'm not sure if the previous allowed unencrypted.

-HTC Droid DNA-
Hey everyone, I have my rooted/unlocked droid dna here. I disabled "tetheringguard.apk", so I could tether ( or at least thats what i thought would work.) downloaded "wifi tether". didnt work. so i downloaded foxfi. says verizon blocked it and i would have to use PDANet+. That works fine, but i'm not paying for it, so it disconnects after an amount of time and i have to reconnect (obviously troublesome for online video games). Does anyone know a way to get tethering to work for free on the DNA? I thought i looked around enough, and I couldnt find anything. Let me know!

You can use wifi tether, you just have to tweak the settings a bit ( i have the free wifi tether for root users from the play store)
these are my settings
device-profile: HTC Rezound
Setup-method: Netd-Ndc (master)
WiFi-driver reload: Check
Keep alive : Unchecked
Shutdown timer: unchecked
Mss clamping: Check
Routing fix : Check
Disable wake-lock: Check
feel free to pm me if you still have issues with these settings.
I need to try this because I couldn't get Wi-Fi tether to work either. ....but I'll see if I can do a little tweaking.

I just tried it, and it connected to my computer, but i wasnt actually getting an internet connection. I'm going to try it again when i have more time, but these settings definitely did something to make it almost work for me. thank you!
EDIT: on my tethering now, i turned off access control and it worked. thank you SO much, i couldnt find out how to do this anywhere
Those tweaks in wifi tether been discussed a lot in gnex and rezound forums .. Access control is a nice thing , you dont need to remember wifi password ) just turn off encryption and add exclusion for er client and it works fine !

haha yep no problem. access control basically is a setting where you have to manually allow every device that connects to your wifi connection. I normally just put a password on and dont really worry about it.
glad i was able to help you!
Thank You

I found these setting somewhere else but I "thanked" him anyway since it's nice to have it listed.. maybe OP could change title to thread to something a little more specific so anyone asking this question in the future could find the thread easier...
that's if they actually search before creating a new thread...

I never knew what Access Control was for. That's a great feature. Thanks.
These settings worked great. I musta tried a half a dozen tethering apps including Wi-Fi tether with no luck. It's all in the settings!
