Just got and rooted the Evo. Currently trying out Fresh Evo with the Netarchy kernel. I achieved a 1.2Ghz overclock and the higher refresh rate did wonders for the performance!
Now unfortunately the 1 real feature I got the Evo for doesn't work on these stock-ish roms. I am on the go these days and have a laptop, a desktop, and a phone I'd like to connect to the mobile hotspot feature. I know "tether" apps exist such as PDANet but I'd rather use the built in hot-spot feature to connect multiple devices.
Does any hack, rom or kernel exist to unlock this feature built into Froyo 2.2?
P.S I did use the search button just nothing recent or relevant.
--------------------------------------------
*** Solution #1 ***
--------------------------------------------
1.) Put bcm4329.ko in /sdcard/android.tether/ (I'm on rooted vanilla)
2.) Download the newest version of Wireless Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The newest version supports WPA2-PSK whereas the one on the android market only supports WEP. Pre8 also seems to have better support for the Evo on 2.2
--------------------------------------------
*** Solution #2 ***
--------------------------------------------
1.) Install Cyanogen 6, which is based on the original AOSP Google code. Froyo 2.2 by Google original code included the hotspot feature and it was modified in the Sprint release. The built in hot spotting feature of 2.2 will work without a tethering application in Cyanogen 6.
Yes the hotspot works on stock Rom. What you are looking for is wireless tether in the market. You know the market has a search feature right? Don't use hotspot it cost money. 30 bucks a month.. you want to pay that? Figured not.
The so called hack is just being root so you can install the wireless tether since with security on Sprint won't let you use the "free hotspot app" since they charge. That's it.

I'm running fresh as well and just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I'm posting this from the wifi tethering that he included with the rom. It seems to work just fine.
Yeah that's the one from market.. free to use. Use sprints WiFi and you have to pay $30 a month..

Well I know how to use the search function, but apparently you don't know how to read.
"I know "tether" apps exist such as PDANet but I'd rather use the built in hot-spot feature to connect multiple devices."
I also know it costs money through Sprint that's why I'm here asking if a hack or rom exists that enables it. Was I really that vague?
PDANet only works to connect 1 device at a time. Not going to work as its a USB tether. I was hoping to just use the 2.2 Froyo settings to enable tethering but I guess wireless tether isnt that big of a deal to use.
Thanks.

Is the sprint wireless hotspot feature different than wireless tethering? Because I don't think it is. Both turn your phone into a WAP.
edit: I just connected 2 laptops and my daughter's ipod to my wireless tethering, so I'm not sure why that wont do what you're looking for.
No what you have not done is any searching at all.
I am not trying to be an ass but he told you what to do and you fell back on your lack of any researching at all and said something silly.
You did not search for tether or wireless tether, had you, you would have found wireless tether for root users, and if you would have searched here you would have found two things, wireless tether and usb tether.
I would suggest trying the market search again and not stopping with basic apps like pda net and looking at the most obvious search results.
If you search for hotspot you will get crap... if you search for what you are trying to do which is wireless tether, you will quickly find the app you need

To add my two cents to this post....I'm using fresh rom as well and it comes with wireless tether PREINSTALLED! To clarify things for you. The wireless tether app does the SAME thing that sprint hotspot does including connecting more than one device at a time. The only difference its that its free. If for some reason your fresh rom doesn't have the app. Do a search for it on the market or use the link posted on the post before mine. Use wireless tether for root users vers 2.0.5 pre 7 or pre 8. Those two work best for the evo on fresh.

And again, no one is listening. I know what Wireless Tether is. That's why I was knocking on all of you for not reading my post. I know what android market is. I'm not that retarded. I wanted to know if any ROMS can use the AOSP 2.2 built in feature? If not I wanted to know if a hack existed to enable it.
I cant enable WEP/WPA with wireless tether. Apparently people in this Airport are happy to use my phone since its open access.
I found the option to enable encryption but it only allowed WEP which is lame. I downloaded a new version off the developers website and it allows WPA2. I'll just use this app if no ROMS have the built in feature working.

In addition I said the built in feature to Froyo 2.2 not the stuff in Android market. I wanted to know if a ROM has a working STOCK HOTSPOT feature working so I dont have to use a tether app. The android operating system has this built in, I'd like ot use that one... Does Cyanogen have this feature working or am I SOL and have to use an unsecured Wireless Tether?

What? Wireless tether supports WPA encryption... meaning that they need a password in order to access your wifi spot... look on settings.

I just edited my last post. The version I had only supported WEP which doesnt fly with me... I downloaded the developers version and it supports WPA2.
I'd still like to know if any of the AOSP builds support the built in froyo 2.2 feature for hotspotting.
I believe Wifi Tether is Wireless Adhoc connection (may not work on some devices) and Sprint Hot Spot is a WiFi connection (access point)
I have not seen a hack for the Sprint Hot Spot. It sounds like it looks for your Phone mac to verify you are paying them before it allows you to use it.
As far as I know, roms don't have this 'hack' for the built in mobile hotspot feature. I'm a Hero user, so I'm not familiar with Evo roms. As stated before, just use Wireless Tether. In my opinion, it has everything someone could want.

The only custom ROM that you can install that uses the Froyo built-in hotspot feature is Cyanogenmod 6. It works great.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!! Schwweeet! So if I install Cyanogen 6 I can just use the built in code developed by Google to enable hotspotting? Not a tether app?
I knew it!!!!
Can you please confirm this works as I expect? I assume it works because it is built off of AOSP which is not modified by Sprint or other carriers, which means the built in code from Google just works right?
You lose 4g and hdmi with cyanogen 6. But the built in froyo hot spot works.

Here is the site: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362
The instuctions to follow begins at around comment 25.
The gist of it is that you have to set a static IP with gateway and the works, then, from the phone, ping the tethered device.
As for speeds, I'm pretty sure whatever connect you're currently getting on the phone will also apply to the tethered device.
I don't understand what root tethering is? I don't have this phone yet but I heard wireless hotspot is already built into the phone. Once you root the phone, does the builtin hotspot app disappear? Thanks.

You have to pay $30/month to use the built-in hotspot feature. With root access, we are able to create and use our own hotspot for tethering. Rooting the phone doesn't affect the built-in hotspot app.
Thanks for the quick reply. Its good having options out there to tether without having to pay the extra 30 bucks a month.
Has anyone been successful at rooting the phone and updating to Froyo 2.2? I heard 2.2 has its own built-in hotspot app. Is there a tethering charge to use the built-in hotspot on version 2.2? Thanks.
They have Froyo on the Evo right but there are still bugs with it I think
On a side note, we have both our Evo's rooted and using WiFi Tethering just fine as of last night.
After rooting my phone I figured i would give the hotspot a shot. But when i try to browse on my ipad it brings me to the VZW self provision broadband page.
I normally use wifi tether, but i would rather be able to use the built in because its an infasture netowork vs the ad-hoc wifi tether gives me.
Not the case

actually your right and your wrong at the same time sadly; your right about the infrastructure network vs ad-hoc, but wrong about the 3g hotspot app vs. tethering & portable hotspot not an app.
The 3g hotspot app is a verizon product not googles in the sense your looking at.
The tethering & portable hotspot should have been activated in wireless & networks section, right between "Bluetooth setting & VPN settings" from a froyo(2.2) google standpoint but in our case its not even there.
Hope this clears up the mistakes about froyo tethering & portable hotspot and verizon 3g mobile hotspot app.
Yes it does thanks! I have a nexus one So i know what your talking about.

If its just the one computer you are logging on with use the BT method very easy and works quite well for free and even on non-rooted phone
So all of our phones with Wifi hotspot features create an ADHOC connection which Honeycomb does not support. Same goes with Bluetooth, no DUN. Google what the hell? Ya ya,carriers this and carriers that but what about people paying for hotspot features on the phone. I have customers that I need to setup to pair with the TF but it seems nothing will work without rooting and that can be phone specific. So the TF is great as long as you are close to a WIFI connection is supports?
If I'm missing something someone please fill me in.

I am using the hotspot feature on my Evo, and I've been tethering to it at work since the day I got my Transformer. I'm not doing anything special, just turning on the hotspot and letting the TF connect. Now, my Evo is rooted with a ROM that "unlocks" the hotspot functionality so I'm not paying extra, and I'm not using the Wireless Tether app, but it's the same concept.

The hotspot feature on your ROM is supporting a true wifi connection and not peer to peer adhoc. I can't always root customers phones.
~DC
I may be misunderstanding how it works, but this isn't a wireless tether baked into the ROM, it's the built-in Sprint hotspot feature that I'm using, just unlocked so I don't have to pay extra. If someone was paying for the hotspot feature on Sprint, they wouldn't need root, but maybe this is only the case with Sprint's implementation.
i was able to do both wifi and bluetooth tethering. took me a while to figure out, (since i've never done it before, less due to the difficulty of doing it)
assuming the phone supports Bluetooth tethering, it should always work.
I have a DroidX and I can tether using the built in stock Hotspot feature or with Bluetooth. However, I can't tether using an ad hoc connection because I get an error stating that the device doesn't support ad hoc connections...
So, it is definitely device specific and it will be something the carriers remove as many report being able to do so with root (my device is rooted and I can't connect via ad hoc - although, I haven't d/l or tried out the pdaNet app).
I will also add that the bluetooth tethering has worked MUCH better than the wifi - easier/faster to connect, runs pretty fast, and my phone doesn't overheat as much....
Works fine with my evo. The Evo has proper infrastructure wifi hotspot.
Maybe the users need to update their phones?
I went into a store to try a tf and there was no internet so I turned on my WiFi hotspot on my sgsII and it worked perfectly fine, not sure if that's the same as you're asking but that works.

a lot of clarification
Hi all,
I need your help, understanding ... well everything about wifi/TF/WM6.5/adhoc and whatever the other connection is?
I don't think of myself as a noob, but to be honest I'm lost with the wifi on the TF. So here it goes: I have TF and HD2. Under WM6.5 I can't get the TF to see the shared internet through the "wifi router" application on the phone. But then I run a custom Desire HD ROM and this one (can't remember the application) shares and gives access to the TF?!?!
First off, which is which? Which is adhoc and which is infrastructure? And what is the difference (sorry i did look on the internet, but that got me confused even more because I could not see any difference). Are you saying that a standard (not rooted Android) will have the same problem? I was thinking of switching to an android phone so that I can get the easy sharing option, but if I have to root a brand new phone????
Any help will be appreciated,
rio
Easy way to tether off a rooted phone.
Install one of the older versions of wireless tether that supports bluetooth.
Turn on the bluetooth DUN on wireless tether.
Hit ok when it asks to turn on Bluetooth and make discoverable.
On the transformer go to settings-wireless-bluetooth
Scan for your device and pair.
Once paired you should see a little wrench next to your device, click on it
Under Profiles, it should show tethering with a checkbox. Click this and in a few seconds Wireless tether should buzz its connected and off you go.
I've been able to tether my transformer like this since out of the box.
Edit - BTW I've tried this with PDAnet and other non rooted tehtering programs, and I couldn't get it to work with those options. Just FYI
the difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure is the way devices communicate.
infrastructure is kinda like the way we send messages via the post office. we send it to a central place, then it figures out how to deliver the message. this is how true routers operate
ad-hoc is peer-to-peer. imagine passing notes back in elementary school.
( Do you like me [yes] [no] )
some phones comes with a tethering app without having to root, but this typically requires you to pay extra fee to your carrier ($30 for sprint)
if you don't want to pay that, then you have to root your phone to either get a rom that already supports infrastructure mode, or download an app that does. [ ie Wifi Tether ]

I had two tether apps, both failed under .595...depressing.
Someone inboxed me that the older version of the tether app works under GB, but I haven't tried looking for it. I will probably take JMoney47's advice and use easytether since he says it works.

Are you talking about the paid built in 3G Hotspot? That's working fine for me. Also one thing I like is how Motorola actually kept the code in for USB tethering now as well. I like this because now I don't have to worry about VZAccess manager which never supported the X - I just use my Mobile Hotspot/USB Tether 2GB plan with the built in USB Tether.
If your talking about rooted wireless tether, my buddy said he had issues with it. But the "official" one works.

What version of gingerbread are you running with this apk?
Ok so I got wireless tethering to work form my rooted Epic 4g to my galaxy tab 10.1 and its pretty cool. I did it with wireless tethering version 3. The only thing is that at first i couldn't get it to work because of the authentication once I turn off the encryption on my Epic it worked perfectly and connected right away. But what I don't get is why it doesn't work with the password if anyone can give me some advise why this is happening it would be cool, Thanks.
Strange, I tether all the time without issue. Should be possible. Are you using an app or built-in settings for tethering.
I got the app version (V3 is the only one that works) . I mean it works,..just not with the password on.
I use wifi tethering with my samsung galaxy phone with tmobile. you should try changing setting in build in tethering app and see if this works. I use 'quick settings' free app from market for quick access to wifi hotspot settings.
I have this problem too, it tethers fine but whenever it comes to things requiring password (like email logins) it rejects the password.
can any one who doesnt have this problem share which software they use for tethering?
how did you get tethering to work? i have tried the wpa_supplicant hack but the wifi drops every 10 seconds. what rom are you running & what supplicant file did you use?
It only works right with wireless tethering app version 3. Apparently if you have the rom that has it built in you shouldnt have any problems.
This is what i used http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I use bluetooth tethering fron my Win Mobile Treo Pro running wmwifirouter. I got tired of trying to root and do the wpa supplicant thing. Android needs to support adhoc wifi out the box across the board. So ridiculous really by now.
Still Cannot Tether
Ok...so Im still on an older phone ( Droid Eris ) but it's rooted running Gingerbread and the wireless tether v.2.07 works great with my laptop but wont work at all with the Galaxy Tab? I really don't understand this. I have tried everything from leaving it completely open to setting up all the appropriate authentication and access control. I tried the link in the thread for 3.0 and even select the Desire..which I think is the basis of the rom I am on...and just got errors in the log.
Anyone else having these issues? Not sure why it works fine on the laptop but not the tablet?

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Check the android development section of the epic section.. SFR1.2 is the rom, Genocide 1.1final is the kernel. They include wifi tether that works for the epic in the rom..

I think that 2.07 is ad-hoc only and honeycomb doesn't support ad-hoc. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few threads around here somewhere where you can replace/edit a file that allows ad-hoc support. As to your other question, I use Wifi tether-pre11 and it works without issue. I'll link it to you. Make sure you change "device profile" under settings in the app to correspond with your device. I had troubles with the app until I set the device profile to my device. Depending upon your luck, you may have to try a few different pre-release files on wifi tether 3.0 to find the right one. Like I said, pre11 works great for my Epic, but your device may be different. Just don't use the top one (test2) as I recall seeing that its meant for Samsung devices.

Here's info about getting ad-hoc on GT10.1. Haven't tried it yet

Hope that helps. Report back your findings
Have an epic and I'm running 3.0 pre11 and I can use encryption. Its under deprecated downloads in the google code page. See above link.
Don't forget to hit "Thanks" if I helped!

Ok..finally followed the guide here and replaced my wpa_supplicant using the links provided. I have wireless tether v3.0pre14 working with no authentication. I am now going to play with authentication and may back down to pre11 since you had good luck with it. I am surfing solid with no drops...video streaming is fairly slow but thats to be expected I would assume. I am running rooted 10.1 retail 32MB with Verizon Droid Eris rooted running GB 2.3.3.
Many THANKS for the help!
Just to add a data point, I hadn't tried tethering my Tab to my Thunderbolt until I read this thread. I am running Wireless Tether 2.08pre. I set up access control and also enabled wifi encryption. I used it for about 20 minutes without any problems. That includes email, surfing the internet, and YouTube.
I too can tether the GT 10.1 with my HTC Thunderbolt using Wifi Tether, but am having trouble with the Samsung Droid Charge. Anybody get the Charge to tether successfully? TIA!
