To echo memphis, will installing this conflict in any way with tether 1.6? Does this overwrite Tether 1.6?

I just deleted tether 1.6 from my sd & installed this tether and it works flawlessly, no conflicts at all.

Now because I'm a neat freak, I have to ask:

How does one go about "uninstalling" the tetherv1.6 package?

I have to chime in here just to emphasize how amazing this app is. It includes security and it's free! I can't see this app getting any better than it already is!!!

Many thanks to the developer for this amazing app =)

Are you using a mod to run application from sd-card? If yes, this might be the problem ...

echoing others, is it necessary to uninstall tether1.6, and if so how? thx

You can just leave it, or manually delete each of the files...

From a terminal session (adb shell or terminal on the phone) type:

su
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf-secure
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.leases
rm /data/local/tiwlan.ini

rm /data/local/bin/tether
rm /data/local/bin/iptables
rm /data/local/bin/dnsmasq

There ya go...

I still see dnsmasq.pid in that folder. Should I delete? (I also see bin and tmp, don't think those should be deleted correct?)

-----
Nevermind, bin is a folder. Which is now empty. tmp is also an empty folder. The question remains, what to do w/ dnsmasq.pid? It's not hurting anything so far, so I'm not touching.
