[Q]ICS supports USB tethering?

[ambrice]

I'm running CM9 ICS on a xoom wifi wingray, but I don't see an option under network settings to enable USB tethering. Has this been removed from stock android? Or is there some other way to enable it?

You should have a menu that looks like this... Otherwise tether options may be disabled on wifi only builds. If so, that's something we can look at.

Yes, it looks like tether options are disabled on wifi-only devices. Which probably makes sense in general but I have a special use case.

I got it working by adding in the config_tether_*_regex entries to device/moto/wingray/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

Patch attached if anyone else runs into this problem.

Hi ambrice

Like you, I too need USB Cable Tethering.

I also use a WiFi Xoom and I want to Tether off my Android phone and my Xoom is rooted and running the EOS Rom.

Please ..... please ..... can you post a step-by-step guide about what we need to do to get it working ?

Huge thanks in advance.

The fix I used involves doing a build from source. If you have a linux box around and are comfortable with that I can give you the steps. Otherwise, bigrushdog seemed like he was going to get that change into the Team EOS ROM, so you may want to check with him on the status of that.

Also, I'm not sure if that fix will work for you now that I read your message. I was just enabling normal tethering, where my PC tethers to the Xoom and the Xoom shows up as an RNDIS device to the PC. You're trying to connect your phone as an RNDIS device to the Xoom, which is something different..

Ill be upping a new kernel shortly that supports rndis_host. Only problem is a hard reset when you disconnect. Linux + Microsoft = fail

Hi bigrushdog !

Is Android-Phone-to-Xoom-Tablet USB Cable Tethering far off ?

Apologies for the necro post, but I've been trying to get reverse-tethering via USB working since I'm in a place without wifi and need net access for my wingray.

I'm Currently running bigpart omni 4.4.2, which apparently does not feature the above USB options. Any pointers towards a fix, or a better Rom to use, would be greatly appreciated.
