I'm grandfathered into "unlimited" data and was wondering what the easiest way to obtain wireless tethering will be ... once i get the phone on sunday! Am I correct in assuming that I'll have to root the at&t sgs2 to enable wireless tethering?
If it's like the Infuse:
Root
Delete tethermanager.apk (it's bigbrotherware that blocks Android native tethering)
Tether away - but be careful, AT&T is REALLY cracking down on tethering.
noob here but what is the directory where the tethermanager.apk is located AND can I delete it without needing titanium backup. I have a Rooted GS2.
thnx.

I have the file located but have not deleted it. Just want to confirm this is a vialble option to tether without paying and possibly avoiding AT$T finding out?
It is in the same directory where all the apks are located (system/apps ?). You don't have to use the titanium backup if you know the exact file name of the apk.

There is no way to avoid AT&T find out you're tethering regadless how you do it. If you use a lot of data, AT&T will packet sniff you and find out.
I think you need Titanium Backup to delete/find it....at least it seems easy to locate and then delete it you use TB.

BTW....the free version of TB is all you need to find and delete the file along with other bloatwear.
