hotspot hack

Is there a hotspot hack for rooted mje? I rarely use unless cable goes down but it's nice to have a backup. I'll wait on rooting if there's no hotspot hack.

Or does wifi tether for root users work?

Yes there is, any of the current available ROMs have an available WiFi hotspot that works without any issues.

thanks for the reply now do I have to use a rom kinda wanted to stick with stock rom. Unless I don't have to use safe strap I never liked the idea of using up space on my device.

I'm not sure if it works on the stock ROM anymore. SafeStrap does not take up much space at all and Beans ROM is basically a pimped out version of the stock ROM with a bunch of additional features and less bloatware.

fwiw on MJ7 I have tried Android wifi tether and also that market hotspt toggle widget app (video), and neither of those seemed to work with rooted stock MJ7. But FoxFi works ($7.95 to avoid free version limitation), and so does "Tether Setting" (noboru)*. The latter is free, but only does WPA; but it requires far fewer Android Permissions than FoxFi.

Don't feel bad about being conservative. I've got rooted-stock-MJ7 in a secondary Safestrap slot and virginal (but rooted) MJ7 in the stock slot. For now, when I screw around with debloating or freezing, I only do that in a dev slot. Lame, right?

YMMV on MJE.


*for this one you might also need to use the trick where when the "you don't have a subscription for this" screen pops up, you just ignore it by using the Home key (rather than cancelling it).

I too would like to stick with the stock rom. I don't mind rooting, so is there an apk that I can install so I can tether?

 

[glamisfan]

Got my phone and tried Foxfi, and it works! I'm on MJE

I do miss Android Wifi Tether, just because it gave me a good idea of how much data I had used.

Has anyone had success using "WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso" ?

This supposedly allows tethering also...
