For those of us getting the phone tomorrow, two questions for those who already have it and are rooted...
1) is wifi tether possible without the tetherng package added to your account?
2) is USB tethering possible without the tethering package added to your account?
Not looking for a debate on the morality / legality of tethering, just asking a question...
Do you think the DEV section is the right place for your questions?
Yeah sorry I'm in tapatalk. Clicked the wrong forum. Mods feel free to move it.
Thanks for the lecture, btw.

verizon will probably block it but aosp based roms and cm9 will fix that
i cant wait to tether though, this is gonna be my first 4g phone and to be honest i hate my home internet(i have fiber optic but i have to share it with like 5 other people so its slow lol)
I figured that...I was hopeful there might be a simple fix to enable it on the stock ROM.

you can probably change some of the settings in the programming menu but that could cause your phone to not work anymore, i would wait for ether cm9 or you can flash one of the LTE G-nex roms available here, that should remove what ever verizon put on the phone
I've been searching relentlessly for a way to get Wireless Tether for Root Users to work on my brand new VZW Galaxy Nexus.
No dice. The Dev has been notified.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1257
If you install the latest BETA version and select the Samsung Galaxy S2 under device profiles, it ALMOST works, throughs in error in the log: "Activating WiFi interface.... FAILED"
Totally crushed about this. Not sure if it's happening due to a VZW side safeguard or if it's simply a progrmaming issue the dev can fix :\
I'm sure they will get this figured out sooner rather than later...hope so, anyway.

Check out Koush' tweets. He posted one about 9 hours ago saying he's developing a rootless tethering app, should be available soon. Gotta love the android community
i can confirm that both wireless tether and pdanet do NOT work on the LTE nexus.
Hey all. My first mod on the GNII. It's the result of ideas I had (modifying tetheringprovision.apk) and a bud (Electron73) had (modifying framework-res.apk) to restore the innate tethering ability of Android that AT$T loves to nuke for some reason...
The original idea came from Electron's thread post here and seeing as how I just got my new Note II I figured I'd try it out.. Eureka.. It works.
Again as you saw the idea was his.. Just a much cleaner mod that my modded Provision that fooled the simcard.
I've tested it on my device but as usual take the standard precautions... Back up before applying.
My phone is pure stock excluding this mod but I'm sure that'll be changing and I'll keep this up to date as I can.
Good luck and feedback is welcomed.
4Shared link - Flashable zipfile.. I use TWRP but should be fine in CWM.
how to flash
Is this flash-able through Clock work recovery. Sorry if its a dumb question also will ATT see our usage like always and send us nasty emails trying to force us to a tethering plan. thanks in advance for your time and help.

Yes, it is.
Edited OP to reflect.
There has been much discussion about whether or not they can 'see' tethering. In short if they choose to put the time and effort into it by doing packet analyzation or going back and and looking and your browsing then technically, yes it can always be detected. Just be mindful and don't go crazy and you should be fine. The last 3 devices I've had over 4 years were all modded to re-enable tethering and I've been fine but that's my story. Yours might differ. The main thing I'd suggest is to not go crazy and use 20 gigs of mobile data or something obvious.
I average 2-3 gigs a month regular phone usage so getting closer to the throttle ceiling of 5 shouldn't matter that much.
much appreciated

Thank you for your response and great advice it is much appreciated. Have a great holiday.
Just to NOTE. That AT&T Lte data plan & if your on an unlimited plan than your data cap is set to 10 gigs, b4 they slow you down. :what:
But we'll b using this thanx
Side note: when I tethered my Xbox from my phone they sent me a msg telling me about tethering plan. But just for normal use everyone will b ok. I get no msg from AT&T ever!

This is probably the first thing I will flash on my GN2. Haven't seen anything else worth it except multi-window support. I need to tether my 4G with my Nexus 7! Been using FoxFi but prefer the native tethering.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Hi, first thank you to OP. Can you advise what the advantages are to tethering using this "native" method vs out of the box besides the carrier not knowing you are doing so? It seems like straight NAT but is there a performance gain?
Thanks.

Well..
Performance wise it isn't any different than the out-of-the-box method.. It IS the out-of-the-box method minus the provisioning app that the out-of-the-box method calls to see if you are 'eligible' before it activates tethering.
The gains:
The out-of-the-box method had no bluetooth tethering.. This does.
The install script deletes 'ProvisionManager.apk' and 'ProvisionManager.odex' since they aren't called any longer so.. You gain device space? Though it may be a moot point given the device capacity.
For me.. This is what mattered: This method isn't a hack. Zero chance of breaking something else on the device. Its a step toward making android perform as it was intended before that carriers perform their surgeries on it. I know this one may just be a personal preference but it really REALLY irritates me that American carriers spend time and effort to block features of the device that the device would have innately done before they modified it.
I wont get into a debate of semantics but if I shell out non-contract prices on a device and buy it outright (as I did in this case) I can't for the life of me figure out how the carrier has the right to tell me what features the device can have. They have every right to dictate service plan features but not device features.
Enough rambling. Back to development discussions. (If you wanna reply to my small rant, please, use PM)

No. I'll make a mod that does and update the OP with a second link as soon as I finish it.. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: I decompiled the framework-res.apk from this rom. It seems to have the needed edits for tethering to be unlimited. Is tethering missing from that rom? I'm headed out for drinks but I'll flash the complete rom later tonight or tomorrow and test it.

I flashed with the I317_N7105ZHALJ4 and it activated the teathering, WIFI, BT and USB work great as does Multi-window :good:
However, I am not sure what port this teathering uses. In some platforms, the teathering uses a different port number than other general data that apps use. The carriers can then easily scan for data using this port and send you the nasty SMS or just start charging you their tethering fees. But if the MOD uses the right port - the carriers would have no idea.
Anyone know which port I317_N7105ZHALJ4 ROM uses?
This should work with the completely stock cleanrom 1.1.1 right?

Ive been looking around and researching on how to get wifi calling on AOSP roms. I have made what I believe to be a big discovery. T-mobile now uses IMS for newer android phones, which is UMA/sip etc. I decompiled the ims-service.apk from the stock DLJA rom. I found an XML that contains the settings to use the service! You can get the IMS installer from here http://code.google.com/p/the-ims-open-source-project-for-android/
I put the settings into the app and tried connecting but it came up with ER05, invalid SIM card. I googled that and it I get leads to saying that the sim isn't authenticated for WIFI calling. I know that it is, because it works fine on stock roms. I've also attached a logcat of me attempting to connect. I've attempted to change some of the info of the strings to reflect my personal phone number but that did not change anything.

This isn't a suitable thread for "developer discussion." It also doesn't even mention which phone it's for, but based on "DLJA", I'm guessing it's for the SGS3, so it should be moved to the tmobile sgs3 sections.

So I took part in a survey this morning sent from T-Mobile. They had some very interesting questions pertaining to Wi-Fi Calling and AOSP ROMS, specifically if I was running on a rooted device, and if I was able to get Wi-Fi calling enabled on whatever ROM I was using. They had other questions about Wi-Fi Calling and how much I would use it, etc...Apparently they're recognizing the community and are starting to ask the right questions. I like this line of thinking!

Let us not assume they are asking these questions to try and help us.. Everything T-Mobile has ever demonstrated toward the hacking community was finding ways to prevent or patch and progress made.. like they're going to assist us with tethering or wifi calling on custom ROMs.. not going to happen.. They are probably asking so they can investigate how it is working on an AOSP ROM and patch the exploit..

Subject: Problem w/(4G?)-HotSpot hack on "WILD FOR THE NIGHT" CM10.1-20130316-d710 (base-band version EK02)
So, I was recently *given* a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (p3113, WiFi only) by a buddy of mine, for helping him out with some significant things in real life. I know right? Very cool of my buddy. I'm in love with the tablet still (honeymoon period). It's not brand-new, but its new to me, so of course the first thing I did was root it, wipe it clean, and install unofficial a CM10.2 nightly build w/working IR from 080913. I'm staying on 080913 build since it's the latest build that supports TabletUI.zip, via Nova Launcher, which I also love by the way. Anyway, this tablet is the PERFECT compliment to my Sprint E4GT "Spider-Man Edition" (cracked screen, long story)
So, this recent tablet acquisition has given me reason to use the hotspot built into CM10.1, on my phone, under "Settings|More|Tethering & Portable Hotspot|Portable WiFi HotSpot. I had assumed up to this point that CM10.1 on my phone had the 4G hotspot hack pre-installed, but alas, when I use it to tether my tablet to get internet access on the tablet, only 3G mobile data appears to be working.
What gives with this? It'd been a while since I've been keeping up with the E4GT ROM/hack scene, so is there some hack zip that I need to install in order to take advantage of tethering and 4G on this ROM? Thanks will be given in multitude for any assistance. Thanks.

Edit... finally found out who made this app... TrevE....so thank him if it works for you
This appears to work as you said!! (Thanks given to your reply)
I configured the first option in the settings menu of this app for "Sprint Epic 4G Touch, and also enabled "Access Control" (whatever that means, care to explain that for me?) and, low-and-behold, turning on 4G is no longer ignored by this new hotspot app, like it is by the stock CM10.1 hotspot app. SpeedTest.Net confirms that 4G is actually in use. The differences in speed between 3G and 4G are only marginal at best in many locations, but that is on Sprint's crappy WiMax 4G implementation, and not the fault of the hotspot app you linked me to. With the SpeedTest.Net app, I'm getting about 0.8Mb/s average download speed while sitting at my desk in my office (indoors), when only 3G is enabled on the phone. but I'm getting about 1.7Mb/s when using this newly-suggested hotspot app with 4G enabled on the phone. So clearly it's working, and that that extra 1Mb/s (or sometimes slightly more) can be the difference between smooth video playback on YouTube (or whatever video app), versus frequent pausing for buffering when watching a video link sent by a friend to my phone. It's also makes Google Maps and Google Navigation much faster AND more responsive when I'm on the interstate, where the 4G coverage is generally pretty good here in the DFW area. SO, I'll kjeep you posted if I run across any major bugs,m but this suggestion appears to allow to now tether by tablet to my phone with actual 4G WiMax. Thank you SO much for your suggestions and links!

Thanks for the kind words... Being able to help someone out is the part I most enjoy about this site.. You can let me know about any issues you have , but just to make sure you know.. This isn't my app.. Just found a drop box link while looking for myself and others and it worked. I'm still not sure who made it..lol. It might say in the app, but I'm not currently using it as I'm on projectX ROM and its tether works great..
Hey there... thanks for the follow-up. Still working like a champ bro, AND it does something else that the stock tethering app doesn't do: it allows the ability to only allow "Approved devices" (by MAC address) to connect, in addition to (or I think even instead of) setting a WPA2 password. It even shows you in the phone's notification bar which approved devices are currently connected, and plays a custom notification sound when an unapproved device attempts to connect. Combine that with a home screen widget for 1-touch toggling, and the MacroDroid app set up to automatically turn on data and 4G when the tether app is turned on, and this is now officially the coolest thing on my phone. I know you didn't create it (nor did you ever claim to), but you did link me to an app that ended up exceeding my wildest expectations. THANK YOU BROTHER.

Hey there... thanks for the follow-up. Still working like a champ bro, AND it does something else that the stock tethering app doesn't do: it allows the ability to only allow "Approved devices" (by MAC address) to connect, in addition to (or I think even instead of) setting a WPA2 password. It even shows you in the phone's notification bar which approved devices are currently connected, and plays a custom notification sound when an unapproved device attempts to connect.

I know..its great.. When I found it...it was like finding a lost treasure.. Of course, now I'm on tw..so I don't need it..but you can bet I'll always keep a backup of this app..Thanks for the kind words... You can change the op title to solved. That way others might see it, if they need help or the mod's can delete if they deem it so.. Good luck.

Will this work on a rooted yet stock 4g? FWIW I'm not running Touchwiz I've got Nova.
Thanks as I've got the apk ready to go if someone gives me the thumbs up.

It will work..... and you are on touchwiz... you're just using a 3rd party launcher.. (Nova is one of my favorites )...
If you need help setting it up... I linked to my settings above.. you might have to play with it though as you are on tw.. I said I was on tw, but it was a custom rom that was tw based with a 4g hotspots hack... so I didn't need it.. Should work on stock rooted though...

Thanks for that help! I configured it according to the link you posted but to no avail. It says it's running but I can't find the SSID when trying to connect another computer to it. I also don't see the icon on the top of my screen indicating that I'm connected to 3g. Is this app only for 4g?

No... it will work with 3g too.... try playing with the settings... remember, those settings of mine where for an aosp rom (slimbean)...
Also... if you decide you don't like it or can't get it to work... after you delete the app... boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will get rid of the binaries installed by the app.

Thanks for all the help! Last night I changed the setup method to Softap for Samsung (master) and actually got the 3g icon to show and I thought it was going to work but I could not find the SSID and there were also errors recorded in the log. I'm at work now in an all metal building and can't get a signal but I will try again and report back. Thanks again!
Oh, and we're sure this setup, if I get it to work, is totally unknown to Virgin? I would hate them to boot me for doing this. (oh, and how ridiculous is it to charge for data that I'm already paying for!?!?) One reason I got the S2 from Virgin online is because it stated wifi tethering as a feature. Nowhere did it say I had to pay for this feature. But that's another story.

You should be safe from virgin knowing... atleast I've never been caught by sprint or boost..
As for the error's... I always had error's on my setup.. but it worked.. keep trying, I know there is a setup to get ya going...
If you end up not getting it to work.... you could try an app from the playstore... or as a last resort you could flash a custom rom based on tw.. the tw roms have working 4g hacked hotspots.. you would need to change you're apns once you have the new rom flashed so you have data.. no biggy there..

I can't get this or any tethering app to work. I've tried modding my build.prop file with the .tether.denied=false item as well - to no avail. I think it's because I'm on IceCream Sandwich??? Anyway, I'm rooted, stock ROM and all I want to do is enable wireless tethering. I really feel no need or desire to install a custom Rom. So, can I do it somehow? I am on the Epic 4G Touch forum, someone has to know.
Also, you mentioned clearing my delvik cache and something else but I have no idea how to do it. I tried installing clockwork mod but I could find no option for the Epic 4G Touch. There was an option to create a backup for the Epic 4G but not the touch. I figured at least if I did this I'd have the option of clearing the cache.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I see you said that you ( tried ) installing clockwork mod.. so I'm assuming you tried it with Rom Manager... I will say this once.. Do Not Use That To Install Recoveries on this device.. you will end up with a brick...
We have to use Odin,mobile Odin and there is a couple other ways ( involving a terminal emulator ) to install recoveries on this device.. You see.. our kernel's and recoveries are tied together.. So to install a custom recovery, we have to flash/install a custom kernel..
Let me ask you this.. how did you root and what superuser app are you using..

Yeah, I tried installing it with Rom Manager, I can go ahead and uninstall it then. I rooted using some solution I found online and honestly I don't remember what it was but it was very simple. I am using Superuser 3.1.3 (46). Was that what you were asking??
I really would hate to be one of those people who hasn't done their homework and then expects everyone else to answer their questions - I hate those people. I succesfully installed CM10 to my HP Touchpad so I feel pretty good being able to at least accomplish that feat.
Thanks for your help. Hey I guess if I make a successful backup of how my phone is now, I can play with other roms. Maybe this is the jumping in point for me right here. Thanks!

Ya.. this could be the start of you loving you're phone again.. :fingers-crossed:
I always suggest new people to read up before doing anything...
Also.. I suggest starting out with the touchwiz roms.. they will be more familiar to new users as well as a little easier to trouble shoot.. I believe..
They also have the better data speeds and the 4g hotspots hack..
Just read up.. if you need any help.. I'm always around.. but first things first.. read up on custom recoveries... once you have one installed with a kernel that will work for you're stock rom you can make a backup... you could make one with another custom recovery/kernel combo, but let's just keep it simple for now.
In rwilco's repo you can find just about anything you need... modems( read about ),kernel/recoveries, and many other things. Just remember and read about the emmc brick bug in ICS..
Being as you are new and not on JB.. a one-click for Odin on windows will be our first step if you choose to proceed. From there you can flash just about anything you want... I can link you to a little guide I put together for a really easy way to flash/install new roms, kernels/recoveries.

Start reading the stickies in the Android development section.. a very good starting point..
Also.. don't worry about asking questions.. we all start out as noobs.. lol. But you have the right attitude..plus.. when you find the answers yourself, I always think they stick better and you also get that feeling of accomplishment. You'll make a good member here with the way you are looking at it... but I also know that when you come to that first flash... it can be nerve racking..

Okay thanks. I'm still thinking about all of this. I'm thinking I'm not committed enough to do it right now and it may be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. I mean all I really want to do is make wifi tethering work. I'm afraid I don't have the time necessary to tinker with all of this esp since I am very happy with my Android user experience so far with this phone.
Besides the tethering fix, what other benefits would there be to installing a custom rom. Or... what would make a custom rom better than Jellybean? Is installing a custom rom the only way I can backup my current system?
Thanks again though for all of your help.

For me.. it's about customization.. Being able to change my status bar( color, transparency, icon, clock position, )..and many other things..
Also... I find that the custom roms are smoother than stock roms...
As for backing up you're system... you can backup you're data on a pc/mac...but if you're wanting to do full system backup's....I think rooting and a custom recovery are the only way to go.. ( but I'm not positive , as I've never looked into it.. )
Greetings All!
New convert from a VZW Note 3 to a brand new T-Mo Note 3 I just bought. I have already rooted it.
I have the $80 unlimited plan, which I understand includes 5GB of tether. I need more than that. Mostly as a wifi hotspot, but maybe some USB in a "noisy" area.
I am very familiar with all of the historical methods, including edits on the config files, changing apk files, using third party apps, etc. I am very much an expert on this and definitely not a noob, I just need to know the skinny on how this is done on Magenta.
I just need to know from those who know, what absolutely works and prevents detection, etc. I have seen various things posted, but never seem to have someone state: "This is my method on my rooted phone" and this works perfectly, every time.
Thanks in advance, please advise.
-Rob
Welcome. There are a number custom roms here that provide unlimited tethering. I'm using Effortless and it works flawlessly. Also as I didn't want to take away from the stock experience, its pretty much stock. As to a mod that will do the same, I've yet to see one.

Hey thanks guys. I forgot to mention I plan on staying with stock (for now). I will definitely check out WiFi Tether Router then. Any way to modify the stock app? Maybe a freeze with Titanium Backup or something?
Looking forward to getting to know the regulars around here and helping out others if I can.

Don't bother staying stock if you want unlimited tether. There's nothing that works right now besides wifi tether router app (requires root) that was mentioned to you or custom roms. Rooting with towelroot does not trip knox and you can revert back to stock if you want with ease. I'm stock rooted and everything works for me, including the use of samsung allshare cast dongle.
EDIT: I think I misunderstood and you meant to say you want to stay stock rooted? Then wifi tether router is your only answer.
do yourself a favor and just buy wifi tether work with bluetooth usb and wifi

Thanks for the correction. I should've read through that thread but that's a lot of work. But to the OP, since he is rooted, it may be worth while just spending $2 on an app than go through all that IMO.

if your already knox 0x1...
u can use my stock odex not rooted rom, I have on my thread, look on the 3 post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51812491#post51812491
you can use my rom and follow those few steps, and as long as your paying for the unlimited u can download my rom which has a few files edited and fixed for unlimited tethering without no extra app needed, I use the wifi tether app from tmobile, and never have had an issue, and don't have to pay for no apps... it just works..
I use my own roms, and also tested them without root, and have unlimited tethering, I use upto 100 - 160gb a month,
what I do, is make a copy of my original rom, and remove the files I don't want, most of the google files u can download from the play store, I remove them all, so when I flash my nice clean rom, I restore the new updated files with titanium backup and am always upto date with my rom..
just letting you know u have a few options to choose from.. :good:
I bought the app, WHEN IT DID WORK, it worked against the gigs of data supplied by t-mobile. Darkstalker and wicked both provide true unlimited hot spot,bluetooth and usb tether.

STOCK Rooted NF4
I don't mind using an app that is proven to work, and if I absolutely had to, I would flash a rom.
But, my preference is to remain stock, and use the stock tether app if at all possible. So, my question remains. Those original instructions were written for an earlier version. Even a donation and a personal thanks to Jovy didn't produce a response to the direct question:
Will these instructions work with the stock NF4 Rom?

The differences in the NF1 and NF4 versions of the particular files referenced in that instructional guide thread were minimal - the same processes outlined there can be done on NF4. The functional outcomes between doing said processes on NF4 should not differ from those seen on NF1. In my experience it seems like outcomes on mods like this can vary in defiance to such logic, but such variance would apply equally between NF1 and NF4 as well - so again the outcomes on the whole should not differ.
I realize this also falls short of the OP's direct question - but if you redefine the question quoted above to be:
Will these instructions work with the stock NF4 rom the same as they did with the stock NF1 rom?
My answer would be:
Yes.

Good to hear. Thank you for the input. I am not above digging in and getting my hands dirty in the config files, I just wanted to see if someone had done it themselves first and could absolutely verify it works on NF4. I am certainly not afraid to shoot a nandroid backup and then dive right in. I just didn't want to waste the time if there was an NF4 specific issue that had not yet been addressed or was outstanding.

Fair enough. But not being a noob should have led you to taking the 15min it takes to do the mod and test it. You seemed to feel that without having your question answered it might lead to a brick ! At worst you'd tether and it would still show on your account. So yes, maybe i should have left well enough alone, but you also seem to think that a donation entitles you to anything. Devs donate here all the time, have you donated for every item on xda? And my last point, being a member since 06 you should clearly remember a time if you weren't a dev you couldn't post period you read and absorbed info and thanked the holy stars other people were spending time and effort. I'm sure jovvy appreciates your donation, but he doesn't expect it, as you shouldn't expect to be the teachers pet cause you brought an apple.
So there it is, i guess I'm a **** after all.
