So since verizon wireless has blocked us rooted users from being able to download the wireless tether appear from market is there another way to get this app on my phone?

It was removed from the market a while back. If you google wireless tether you can download it. Verizon allows sideloading of applications I believe.

You can download various versions from it's google code site here. The latest market version is 2.0.7 but there are experimental builds you can try as well. To install, make sure the "unknown sources" option is checked in settings->applications. Then use a file manager app like Astro to find the apk and install it.

Im new to smartphones. I recently got a DroidX...now I'm hooked. But being new to the technology, I need some help. I don't want to pay Verizon any more money but could really use the 3G HotSpot for work. Ive done the research and want to root my phone...I hear z4root app is excellent!!! Its no longer available on the marketplace, so how do I download it from the web and get it onto my phone and functioning? Please all the info I can get will be usefull.
For the free hotspot, it depends on how u want it to run. (ad hoc or infrastructure mode). Infrastructure is the equivalent of a home wireless router. If you search google for "team black hat wireless hotspot hack" you should probably find what u are looking for.. This allows you to use the Verizon wireless hotspot app for free (disclaimer: this is theft and is technically stealing from verizon so I don't condone this. This is merely just info).
If u don't care about the original app, u can root the phone and search the market for wireless tether for root or barnacle tethering.
As for z4root, google the app, and then download it and use your computer to move it to your SD card. Then you can use a file explorer app (i use astro) to install the .apk file.

Thank you!!! My DroidX is now rooted! Thanks again for the help.
It looks like they (AT&T) removed the option to tether or use my phone as a hot spot! Can someone please help with finding another way around this. I need to use my phone as a modem. My Captivate has been rooted but I dont know wut to do now.
try EasyTether app. you can find it in the market
EasyTether is no longer on market!
I'm looking for the same thing for as close to free as possible. I tried downloading the file off google/android (i can't think if the exact file right nite) but for whatever reason it keeps saying I don't have permission when in reality I'm rooted and have rom manger but running stock everything . Any advise?!?

If you are rooted, most of the froyo roms have tethering and mobile internet access point with them
Maybe you could try market enabler from the market and make it think you have T-Mobile or something cause att blocks out mostly all tethering apps. I read that works although I have T-Mobile and haven't had anything blocked so I have not tested personally.

I have Andromeda 2.1 on my Captivate, and so far as I know, it doesn't have a tethering app preinstalled. I'm going to ask and find out, and a few other questions I have, as soon as I get to the 10 post limit! gah...
Anyway, before I installed Andromeda, I was running the stock ROM rooted with wifi tether from the google code page. The app would run, but I could not connect to it (though I was trying on my Tab). Comes to find out that the wifi tether app creates an ad-hoc network, with the Tab won't connect too. I need to get an AP app. Still working on that solution (though I haven't had much time to test it).
Paragon 5.1 ROM has tethering.

Well, as already said most custom roms have these options built in under Settings > Wireless & Network... But in lieu of flashing an entirely new ROM for one feature, you could simply download barnacle wifi from the market.
In the event that it's not in your market (hadn't heard of carriers being able to remove certain apps from the market) I'm sure you can find the apk (the extension of Android App Installers) via google.
as the tittle states im looking for the indycar mobile app, you can only find it on the market or have it texted to you but only if you have verizon. I do not so please help
bump... anyone?
Anyone with Verizon please help?

Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"
Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.
Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?
Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.
I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?
I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps
Did anyone ever get this to work? Would be nice for the 500!

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

Hi, basically what i want to know, is if you can get a non market downloaded app to actually SHOW in the market (so i can be notified of updates etc)
The reason i am asking this is because some developers offer their app free to XDA users, but paid on the market. It's just a bit of an inconvenience not to have it updated when i open the market.
Any thoughts on hwo to do this?

try out superoneclick. Connect your device in debuging mode. Run SuperOneClick and click the allow non market apps option. I use this with my x10. But when I do update it automaticle bring me to the pay-pal.

Doesn't this just let you install non market apps? Because i can already do that with Cyanogenmod.
What i want exactly is apps to show up in the market so i can update it from there
The market uses a server-side database to keep track of what apps you've actually purchased. And I believe client-side it just keeps a running list of what apps you have on your phone. But for purchased apps, the record of the purchase is on the servers. So if you side-load an app that normally costs money on the store, it may recognize that you have the app, but the purchase won't show up.
If it was all client side someone would have come up with a way to do this by now since if it was possible you could trick the store into thinking you've bought pretty much any app you choose.
This depends on the kind of apps you are trying to get notified about.
Market uses server side authentication and lists apps installed on phone using the server database.
If you are trying to update apps that are not available in your region, you can use Market Enabler or Root Toolbox and emulate another region/carrier and get the app. You have to install the app this way and whenever there's an update, you will be prompted but every time you want to update, you will have to change the region.
If you are trying to gets apps that are paid apps in the market and you didn't buy them on the market and you obtained it via other means(including apps like Autostarts which is open source but paid in app allowing you to compile a copy for yourself free of charge), you cannot make the market recognize them. However, you can use App Update Notifier(free app on market) to get notified whenever the app is updated.

*facepalm* Makes perfect sense that it would all be done server side for aunthentication reasons.
I will have a look at that app, cheers
You could also try the client from Appbrain:
appbrain.com/info/getting-started
Found another stand-alone app:
www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/de.goddchen.android.appupdate/App-Update-Notifier
As long as the app is available in the market you can, after you have installed the apps just clear the data and cache for the market the reload the market and they will be in your list, but if there pay apps and you haven't paid for them you can't update them.
Black markets will do this for you
