Wifi tethering application

[moussam]

***Sticky this please

Check out this application I put together. It is a simple stand alone app for true tethering over wifi, you must have a rooted phone for this app to work....

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss issues with the application. For instructions on how to use it read the webpage from the link above.

Good deal will try it out as soon as i get sp3, is it compatible with new update? thanks for this!

Any chance of making this open source?

If it just uses the same method as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474470 then it would be pretty helpful for those of us trying to make a frontend to command line applications.

Pretty Please... I do appreciate the effort and at that same time, I like to know what I am giving root access to. But, really - I'd like to be able to modify it to my own network environment. I like to customize the dnsmasq.conf a bit for my own peace of mind...

Thanks again, this is the beginning of a great piece of work...

Yeah, hows the security on this? does it only give one dhcp ip out?

This is really nice!!! The old way with terminal was getting old. Thanks!!!!

Could you have a status icon at the top toolbar to show that the tethering service is active?

Tested, worked flawlessly. Unscecured, of course, but freakin' sweet if you can't get another network. Tried this from my house, worked great on 3g. Work VPN functioned w/o issue.

Nice! Confirmed working with Vista laptop.

I'd like to also voice support for open sourcing this-- or for removing the root requirement if you could get that worked out. I am very appreciative that you've pulled this together but at the same time feel reluctant to install any software that will be running under root that isn't signed or at least has the source code available.

Keep up the great work!

please add an option to change ssid, and settings, and we definately gotta find a way to secure the wifi
