Hi every one. I have tried just about every rom out there and I've found several that I just love. Only problem is that every time I find one that works really fast and has working video and all the other things that I like theres no wireless tether which for me is a must. Is there any way to install wireless tether on a rom that I like that doesnt come with it?

yes, you can download it and just install it on from your sdcard from the website with root explorer or similar app. But some roms dont include wireless tether support even if you install.

When i open it up and start tethering it stays on the start tethering screen and says please wait... my macbook doesn't find the signal and i was wondering if there was a way to fix it... i am running the latest hero rom...
Should work fine if your rooted and using anetshare with the downloaded tether.
Ubuntu on the otherhand... That one I have to use proxoid and usb along with a config typed in, but least its working on linux now. Windows.. ahh I love how you know how to network with ease to adhocs..
What is anetshare?... is it an app or something else?
http://android.a0soft.com/?url=aNetShare.htm
Just gotta dl it and then let the tether download. I know back in the begining, Tetherwifi didnt work, but this one did. So I stick with what worked 1st. =)
You don't have to use anetshare to have wireless tether for root users to work.
what is another easy way to get wireless tethering working... i have tried the wireless tether app buy it hasn't worked for me and i am not sure how to fix it

z4root was pulled from the AT&T market over the weekend.
You can check this out: ponack.net (can't link cause I'm new here, sorry)
Gives you rooting instructions and (if wanted) instructions for installing the Cognition ROM...of course you can substitute your fav ROM instead.

I have actually tried using the z4root but yes it has been pulled from the market.. i actually have it on one of my phones but im not sure how to transfer it... you can share apps but the link is always invalid...
I use Google's wi-fi tether app. I just download the latest version from the interweb and install. Of course I am rooted and have sideloading fixed.

Download the Samsung one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&page=25 and download google's Wifi tether app or Barnacle wifi from market. If you can't find it in the market, you can use Market Enabler from the market to fool the market into thinking you are on TMobile.
Anything new on the tether without a root. Can't seem to find any of the programs that people talk about.
Thanks
dont mean to hijack but it has to do with captivate tethering..
i have assonance 5.2 and have tried tethering to my pc. seems to work but what i am really looking for is a way to tether and use my PC'S connection on my PHONE so i dont have to dwindle my data plan. ive been looking for a while actually on how i could 'reverse tether' but i guess im blind.
i know, its unbelievable isnt it?
Are you trying to tether from a laptop or pc
From a phone

yea it should b possible but not very usefull since most pc's connect through wifi anyways so it would probely b more efficient to use wifi on your phone through your home network by installing a wireless router unless you are hard wired in which case u would need some kind of mobile hotspot type of program using wifi or bluetooth also usb of some sorts
problem solved with the newest version of connectify.
edit: well, my problem anyways.
I've been trying many multiple things to get wireless tether to work. I currently have CM7 installed and have tried Wireless Tether for Root (versions 1.6, 2.0.7, and 3.1b2) and I've tried Barnacle Wifi Tether ver 0.6.7. In both apps, I can start tethering, but I can never see the phone from any other device (Win7, Evo 4G, iPod, Xoom). I also never see any data being transfered (up or down).
I swear I used to have tethering working on my Hero before, but I just cannot get anywhere with it. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make a Nandroid Backup!
Then Try Flashing a Different Rom, This way you can possibly determine if its the Rom, or whatever else that it may be!

Thanks for the suggestion. That's actually the last thing I tried before I posted my question. I tried the Toast Hero 2.4.0 ROM and that didn't make any difference. I still could not get anywhere with any wireless tether, couldn't see it, and it never reported any data transfer.
Any other suggestions?
Kushdeck ftw. I tether everyday. Great rom too.

Don't know if your Big on Sense Roms? But you could try my ExEnHeroC Rom... I'm Sure that Tether works, at least for Mostly everyone that I've spoke to! It should also work on the SenseFroyoV8.1 or V8.5 Roms too!
Also what Tether App are you using?
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I figured out the issue. I think my issue is that the Hero can only do Ad-Hock connections. Am I correct in that? I was trying to connect to the Hero with another Android phone (HTC EVO) and a Xoom. It appears that neither of them support Ad-Hock connections.
Am I correct in all of this? Can the Hero support non-Ad-Hock connections?
hero only supports adhoc signals
Well, shoot. I thought for sure I tested it on a Win7 laptop and an iPad. I guess I didn't.
Does the bluetooth tether option work with the Hero? Thanks for all of your help with the WiFi option.
apple devices and windows will conect to it fine linux has issues.
I never had problems with Linux.
Oh, how I love my Evo 3D. Hotspot is so much better. Especially with 4G. I have my blue ray/ netflix player tethered to it to watch netflix.
"Damn you look even uglier in 3D"
im not sure about other linux distroes but on ubuntu at least it always just hangs on connecting then itll disconnect itself after five minutes or so. usb tether always worked fine though.
Have you tried PDAnet(Bluetooth&wired) ? If you don't want to switch ROM's just for tether. I've had it just over a year & am very happy with it especially after this last update.
Ok, Ive been looking around these forums for a while and havent come across a working way to tether FROM you pc TO your tablet over wifi. I can do it over usb but the play store doesnt work and the bluetooth option isnt for me. I found a way to actually get wifi to work (at least for me) if thiere is a easier way please let me know
First for me I am using to wifi cards for this however it should work over Ethernet or hell even dial-up.
1.Whatever connection you are using to connect to the web allow it to share the connection.
2.Download this app WiFiHotspot creator or if you trust me here is a link to it http://jumbofiles.com/y0l9dv3pbh5x be aware that unless you go for a advance install it wants to install alot of bloatware, nothing malicious just annoying!!!!
3. Once its installed just run it, it's very self-explanatory.
I've noticed its not very fast but it gets the job done. Also it works for everything Ive tested it with. Play, Youtube, network games.
If its any help Im running Windows 7
Thanx guys
I use connectify it gets the job done very well. I also am running the comp off of wifi and re broadcasting wifi with the same card using it

You beautiful beautiful man, seriously so grateful for this. You absolute lifesaver. God if I could give you a hug I would.
I wasn't able to get your file because the site was down but I downloaded the program from the authors site, start the install and AVG flipped out. After looking around a bit, it's not just me. Be careful w/ this program.
+1 for connectify.
Beamed from my Grouper
Can yoy reupload the file. It seems down!!
Thankss!!!
Im running the 400mb extreme debloat ROM and trying to do USB reverse tethering. I tried installing a few different applications and just ended up getting different trouble. One of them I needed to install two other applications, another kept force closing and a third kept saying it couldn't read my system.
Is there a way to enable it in the ROM itself? Are there any good apps? I remember reverse tether working for me on my s3.
Thanks
**After a few more hours of searching, I stumbled upon an old post that mentioned EasyTether. So far it seems to work. I'm not sure if I want to spend $10 on it right now though. Also not sure if root is required or not. (Didn't ask for root permissions so you can assume you don't need root.)
I love this rom and thats the only issue i have with that rom. I was using foxfi and had it working but after a little bit of downloading it stops your tether because of a data limitation written into the program. How does the easy tether work for you so far? Thanks

So far so good. I decided I would do the 2 hour trial with Pro and everything works smooth. (Buy it, use it for 2 hours, and refund if it wasn't what I needed).
The last thing I'm looking at is if it supports USB 3.0. Cause that would be much faster internet usage.
