HOWTO: WiFi Tethering - Working!

[cody]

Just verified this on my device. You will need the following (after Rooting):

android-wifi-tether (I used 2.0.5-pre8)
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** - Project Hosting on Google Code

and from the Marketplace: tAttachApkInstaller

1. Go into Settings, select Applications and enable "Unknown sources".
2. Download tAttachApkInstaller from the Android Market
3. Download the android-wifi-tether application
4. When asked, open the file with tAttachApkInstaller

I'll try to post speed links later, but was able to tether my iPad with the default settings and navigate to Google.

why do we need the tAttachApkInstaller? wifi tether installed without it on the evo? i installed wifi tether on the epic as well. It doesn't work though.

what does the above install do that we cant do without? hmmm

Works great!

Works like a champ. No 4g at the office....but I plan to test the full speed out when I get home.

Thanks!

Good question. Unfortunately, I'm still so new to Android that I couldn't currently tell you why. This is the method I used to make it work.

This is working on the Epic. Are you on a Droid?

 

[Redneck Trash]

What's different between this and the Sprint HotSpot?

One must have the HotSpot option on their account for the Sprint version to work.

Thanks worked flawless and this is my first droid and first root. Just switched from WinMo after so many years

Have you tried updating your WiFi drivers (on one of your laptops)?

I wish someone would make a tutorial on how to do this for complete morons (like myself) because I've read other tutorials and other how-to's out there an i keep coming up empty.
