[Q] Barnacle

[n1nj4dude]

Is there anyone else using Barnacle with this phone? It seems to work great except for when i try to stop the tethering. the UI shows it has stopped but the device i am tethered to is clearly still receiving data?
Anyone else experiencing this?

Why use Barnacle? The native tethering works better (actually behaves as an AP instead of adhoc) once you freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk

How do you go about to freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk? I imagine root is needed correct?

Yes - but it would be needed for Barnacle anyway.

"freeze" is something you can do with TitaniumBackup.

I usually just manually remove it in an ADB shell.

ive already removed it i just thought i read somewhere its safer to use a 3rd party app but if the stock one is safe after removing this than id much rather do that

I don't think anything is safe any more. AT&T seems to be doing deep packet inspection now.

So far people who have tethered Android tablets don't seem to have problems, but even light tethering with a PC gets you nailed now.
