i am currently running on CM7 on my milestone (2.3.4), i found out that there is no mobile hotspot function in it......could be taken out by CM, not sure
if there are no roms with internal hotspot, will the wifi tethering app work the same way?
if so, anyone could please tell me which is the best wifi tethering app in the market now, please and thanks all
Jon
All the roms I tested have the "3G Mobile Hotspot" built-in, and it works fine. I used FroyoMod, CyanogenMod 6 and 7, ShadowModBR, MIUI, Ho!No! and IceAndFire and I think all of them have the app. I recomend the FroyoMod.

Weird, I'm running CM7, the latest RC (7.1.0-RC1-11.05.08), and I have the 3G Mobile Hotspot app, it's the first app listed in my app drawer.
If you don't have that though, you may want to check your CM7 update package, and make sure it contains Mynet.apk in the system\app\ path. That is the .apk file for the 3G Mobile Hotspot app. If it IS in your update package, perhaps just try reflashing CM7.
Barring that, you can also download the Android Wireless Tether app, but it's NOT in the market, as far as I can see. You can get it from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. That app worked for me before I started using CM7.

I have tried everything I can think of but I can not for the life of me get my wifi to connect to a router on rc1 or any nightly. Is anyone else having this issue? My wifi tether works 100% which boggles me. I've tried a bunch of the nightlies and rc1, all with the same results.
Have you tried flashing a different kernel might work might not worth a try in my opinion

I have tried actually, I'm starting to believe that every router I've tried connecting to is possibly farting out. No one seems to be having this same problem.
I would try flashing back to a sense rom and c if wifi works them
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
Also in wifi settings on cm6 rc1 hit menu go to advanced settings and select 14 channels I think it 11 by default might work might not worth a try

I have been having the same issue with WiFi. It will connect to "open" networks but when trying to select a locked one it gives a message and closes...

This has been mentioned in another thread but I found no solution other than someone saying to download the correct version of the theme (i.e. rc1 instead of nightly).
I am on CM6 RC1 and have the Steel my elegance theme

I am an eris user but my wife has the MotoDroid and she got the FRG22D update and wanted me to root her phone so she can use the wifi tether app. I thought it would be as simple as rooting and downloading the app but it seems not to be working right, do i need to install a rom or flash a kernal on her phone for wifi tether to work properly? Id prefer not to install a rom cause she just wants to keep it as stock as possible.

I have an oportunity to trade my Nexus One for a Captivate + $300, but just wanted to see if Mobile Hotspot worked on the Captivate?
I don't mind rooting, but I don't see Mobile Hotspot listed as features in any of the rooted 2.2 ROMs; I'm assuming it is included as part of 2.2 but don't want to lose my Nexus One just to find out it isn't included.
Thanks
It's called MobileAP. Don't know what that stands for but it's used for wireless tethering. There's also the option to tether via usb. It's pretty much available in all current Captivate ROMs.

Tethering and HotSpot are different. Do you really need to create an Access Point for many devices, or do you just want your laptop to use your phone's Internet connection?
If you search on Android Tethering, there are many tethering apps.
As I understand it, MobileAP and Mobile HotSpot are the same thing. I have the leaked version of 2.2 on my Captivate and by activating MobileAP, I can wireless-ly connect several computers to the internet through my phone.
Does ATT charge us for using mobile ap? i am on axuras 2.2 rom but i havent tested it out yet.
My buddy has a captivate but I currently use a vibrant and HD2. I tried to help him install MobileAP via Colckwork ROM Manager and it booted the recovery and installed but it is not found on the Wireless Settings.
Which custom rom has Moble AP currently installed? I am just trying to help a friend get his Captivate on the right track.
I had already advised him to run a custom rom but he is a newbie and a new convert to Android.
Thanks for any input!

I'm pretty sure most froyo roms have them.

Can confirm that both Cognition and Perception have Mobile AP.
You can also run 'Android Wi-fi Tether' (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) from even the original as-shipped JF6 ROM (assuming you've rooted of course).

No, although the functionality is similar, they are two different things entirely.

As of this moment, AT&T does not charge for Mobile AP (other than your standard data charges). They do charge an additional fee for their Mobile Hotspot however. Mobile AP was taken out of the official Captivate builds for this very reason.
Hi gang....
So I did a full wipe and installed CM7 nightly 09202011 on my OG Droid and now when I go to install Maps from the market it says that it isnt compatible with my device.
I deleted data on the market apps and restarted and same issue.
Any ideas?
As have been said, nightly CM7 roms can include some bugs. Try installing previous used version, changes are not big.
Dropped back to 8/28/2011.... still an issue.
Wierd.
I might just be a retard, but there's no built-in wifi tethering in our cyanogenmod, is there?

Hmm, I have no ideas... Try to look in current area settings, it can be problem with area settings. No ideas then...
dumb question, but do you have it set default to install to your SD?, also, did you flash gapps along with the cm7 build? I'm not certain but I believe you must all ready have maps in data/system/app and the market version is only an update.!

I had the OG Droid before and now I;m helping out a friend. I remember that in order to get WiFi tethering to work on it you needed a Kernel that would allow it. Can any one point me in the right direction for a Froyo ROM and a compatible Kernel that can do WiFi tethering?

I've never been too happy with CM in general...but i can always give it a try.
BTW would i need to change the Kernel with the CM7 rom to use WiFi tether or does the zip file containe a compatible kernel that gets flashed at the same time?

It contains the right kernel. The only bad part about tethering on the D1 is that it creates adhoc networks and some tablet devices cannot see them. There are no workarounds on D1's side.
I have my droid tether w/o problem. Even had my computer VPN over the connection, which was pretty neat!
I can't get my PS3 or my laptop to successfully connect on my D1 tethering. The adhoc network is just annoying.
