I just rooted my phone (unlocked BL --> TWRP --> SuperSu).
I'm fine running 5.1, but need to find a wifi tether app that works. I've tried using OpenGarden and Wifi Tether router (Grasso) in the App Store (among others), but none seem to work.
Any suggestions without installing a new ROM?
Thanks

Problem solved. I reached out to the developer of Wifi Tether Router available in the App Store. This app works on my phone with the following settings:
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- CHECKED

i wanted to give this rom a try, and i am very happy with it, except for one thing. Wifi tethering. Tethering and portable hotspot turns on but wont work, i guess thats why theres a wifi tether app. Thing is, when i go into the settings and encrypt my network, input the password, start the wifi tether, it starts with errors.
Error is: network is not encrypted and open to all...
App: Wifi tether
settings: Enable wifi encryption
encryption setup method: wpa_supplicant (tried auto as well but no go)
passphrase: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
SSID: xxxxxxx
Is there a way to encrypt or should i just flash another rom?
Hi all, I've got a bit of a problem. After finally managing to root, hack bootloader and install MiniCM7(latest) I installed Barnacle Wifi tether and it was all working fine. Now, I don't remember exactly why now but while using root explorer I cleared the Dalvik cache in /cache and /data. After doing that and going back to the menu every app I had open started throwing up errors which was to be expected as i'd just deleted all the settings or whatever for them. anyway, I tried to reboot my system and it failed to boot so I had to re-install through CWM.
Ever since then i've not been able to get barnacle or any other wifi tether app working properly! What happens is that it installs fine, asks for SU permissions and when I click start it seems to be running fine. When I try and connect on my PC I see Barnacle and am able to connect but as soon as I do it kicks me offline again, the other wifi apps don't even connect or show connected but I get no access!
I've tried a few different custom roms but it's much the same really. So far i've managed to wifi tether through the standard wifi tether in settings but it's not the same and seems a lot slower than usual, plus I want to be able to download on my PC and use Android market at the same time and I can't do that with the standard SE tethering options. I've also tried many different suggestions to get wifi/tethering back through various threads in this forum and others but to no avail so far.
So, I'm wondering if anyone might know what I have to do to get it all up and running again as at the moment i'm tethering through USB and using easy tether as it seems faster and more stable but i'd rather be free of wires and be able to use Barnacle again.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, they'll be much appreciated.
in to barnacle wifi tether app
go into settings
change Channel to 11
Skip wpa_supplicant (tick it off)
DHCP>Gateway = make sure your default gateaway is the same as your routers gateaway normally its 192.168.1.1
try those settings and see if that works
Hi everyone
I have a galaxy mini mobile, and I upgraded its firmware to android 2.3.4
I tried to make an ad-hoc connection with my laptop but the mobile couldn't detect it.. I knew over the internet that android doesn't support ad-hoc connections
And found many methods to enable it, but they were for earlier versions (as 2.2) and tested on another models (mainly HTC)
I downloaded a program from the market but it didn't work and after removing it, the mobile stopped working
Now I have re-installed the firmware (2.3.4) and I want to know if there is any working (safe) method for allowing ad-hoc connections (knowing that my mobile is rooted)
& thanks in advance
Problem Solved using "Connectify"
I recently upgraded to FeraLab MIUI v2.4.13 ROM and everything looks great but I can not get Wifi Hotspot/Tether not working.
Application installed on rom is Wifi Tether for Root Users: If i keep open (no encryption security) then it's visible on my laptop and I can browse as well but for some reason I can not see this Hotspot on my Samsung tablet. Has anyone experience this issue?
I tried removed the build in Wifi Tether app and re-installed from marked and tried lots of device profiles but no luck. When I select profile as Generic ICS/JB (I know this is wrong anyway) but then my tablet can see it but can not connect to the device.
I have also tried to use Barnacle Wifi but that doesn't work and it says it cannot get SU permission. I don't understand why because I get prompt to allow super user access and that appears in super user permission tab but it eventually fails complaining about the permission.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. I have locked boot loader but I don't think that should make any difference.
Try adding your wifi information on your own in your tab?

Thanks but I did try manually adding the ssid before and after re-installing the app without any luck. Hotspot conection was always appearing as "Not in range".

Hello there users of xda,
After I installed saferoot I've notice that my google play stopped working via wifi connection but works on my 4g connection. No connection to google play via wifi, also while connected via wifi I've tried to download apps via google play on the computer. A notification pops up on my phone telling me the download failed. On the other hand if I am connected via 4g, google play on the s4 works just fine. I am a noob here.
I don't have much data to run on as I have already used half of it on pandora while going to work and returning from work (2gb data plan).
phone: Galaxy S4
Model: SCH i545 (if you can't tell already it's verizon)
Android Version: 4.3
Build: mk2
Root: Yes=saferoot + safestrap​
Never mind, I've solved the problem. The problem occurred after I've uninstalled abp (adblockpro). When I installed adblockpro, my proxy setting was changed on my s4, all I had to do was change the proxy setting back to the default settings.
