I think you have to root your phone if you want apps to be downloaded from the internet.

Can someone please help me with this

There is NO option to install applications from untrusted sources. This means anything on your SD card, downloaded from the web or over your wifi at home WILL NOT WORK. Naturally, you also cannot use the "su" command in terminal.
Therefore, you need to use ADB push in order to get anything done.
Here is an ADB guide Motorola Backflip for AT&T.
[ADB Setup Shortcut/Send to] Motorola Backflip
Once you have all that figured out, you can ROOT using [APP] z4root.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

[Hack][FC09/EL30/EH17/EH06/SRF12] [3G/4G Wireless Hotspot] Native USB/Wireless Tether

UPDATE: 9/1/2011 EH17 Hotspot Hack
UPDATE: 8/17/11 - Redownload EH06HotspotHack.zip if you downloaded it before 11:50AM on 8/17/11 pacific time, as I have reverted back to the last bit of hacked code for framework.jar. The expanded code I tried to allow it to use wasn't playing along nicely.
UPDATE: 8/16/11 - EH06 version complete. Here's a message to sprint/samsung - why you adding BS code to the functions I'm modifying? Tsk tsk.
To all users - I will not be supporting _ANY_ EG22 rom stuff anymore, as nearly all of the roms are deodexed incorrectly (too old of baksmali version) and have plenty bugs. Leaving the files attached for any lone EG22 users.
EH06+ only from now on.
Enjoy the tethering users!
VIDEO from qbking documenting process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-HQBQvf3c
EH17HotspotHack.zip = DEODEXED EH17 ONLY
EH06HotspotHack.zip = DEODEXED EH06 ONLY
EG22HotspotHack.zip = DEODEXED EG22 ONLY
SRF1.2HotSpotHack.zip = SRF 1.2 ONLY (EC05 _MIGHT_ WORK, TEST!!)
BonsaiB14HotspotHack.zip = BONSAI B14 ONLY
UrbRegen111HotspotHack = Urban Regeneration 1.1.1 ONLY
Report bugs in the thread. Thanks
NOTE: REQUIRES DEODEXED ROM
NOTE2: This hack renames "Sprint Hotspot" to "Wireless Hotspot"! If it's not renamed - it didn't install correctly! 3 finger recovery boot and try installing again!! (CWM issue, bug them to fix it)
NOTE3: Files modified are /system/app/Settings.apk & /system/framework/framework.jar & /system/framework/services.jar
NOTE4: epichackedhotspot.zip attached is legacy for use on EF02 deodexed. I will not be making a 4G version for EF02 - use EG22 from now on seeing as it's better in nearly all ways.
NOTE5: Yes, I know the installer for my zips all say for EG22. The files in the zip are correct for the version you downloaded, though.
Special thanks to frogor for being a broskito
Thanks to chris41g for packaging up the zips and rounding testers (flimsy you whiner here you go ) up for me
Thanks to dodgejcr for figuring the stupid compression bug out

very nice cant wait to try

Awesome, downloading now.
And, no body else seems to have much trouble making flashable .zips? I'm not taking a crack at you, just maybe PM one of the guys around here.

Apparently it's due to the fact winrar/windows zip cannot create a zip CWM will recognize, even when implicitly told to not compress stuff.
About to upload a .zip with a modified Settings.apk and the framework.jar. This gets rid of the "Sprint Hotspot" name and changes it to "Wireless Hotspot."
Looks cleaner to me.

Wow this thread should take off here very shortly. Congrats and thanks.

So does this enable the sprint hotspot without them knowing it?

Nice, I'll have to check it out. I've been using WiFi Tether which enables Sprint Hotspot so I have something to compare it to.

I actually am someone who still pays for Hotspot because WifiTether hasn't been as good. I hope this finally does it.

Could we get a list of compatible kernels? Is it stock only?

Considering there's only so much that can be done to the gingerbread kernel without source, I would think all of them work.

Doesn't work on bonsai. Zip flash didn't even change the name of the app. I didn't try USB. About to flash stock deodexed and try from there.

+1 on that one. I am using Bonsai 5.0.0.13B.

Is there a way to make this work for stock (not deodexed)? Or is there an easy way to deodex? Or should I just look for a nearly stock deosexed rom and restore data?

Wireless Tether is an issue, WiFi Tether has been working fine for since it came out(3.0-pre14), have used it on Froyo and Gingerbread.
No joy with this hack, starts fine but won't allow my laptop to connect. Good news is that it doesn't interfere with WiFi Tether functionality so I can keep messing around with it to see what I can do with it.

WifiTether 3 pre 14 has been outstanding for me too. I almost cancelled Hotspot because its really good. The whole turning off 4G first thing gets to me though.

Yeah, they need to get that worked out. All you have to do is toggle Wireless Tether (the green one) on and off and you'll be able to restart Wifi Tether (yellow) without rebooting your phone.

What errors are you seeing in logcat?
What exactly is happening?
The files in this update zip _CAME_ from Chris41g's EF02 plus, which I am running right now with these hacks, so there's no reason they shouldn't work for you..
Also, this more than likely will ONLY work with Chris41g's EF02 stuff, especially if there are modifications in his Settings.apk that are particular to his ROM.
Let me know what you come across and I'll see what I can do. If it turns out it's because of my Settings.apk modification I can always remove that/put it in a separate zip for those who want "sprint hotspot" renamed.
Thanks!
(For those too anxious to wait for another zip - install it and restore your ROM's custom Settings.apk. Make sure you're only applying this to EF02! This stuff will SURELY only run on EF02 based ROMS! I am able to modify other frameworks for 2.2 etc but I need a copy of the framework.jar from the particular build/rom you use so I can perform the modification.)

The main thing that bugs me about Wireless Tether is a) it doesn't interact with our device correctly (look up the ANDROID_TETHER intents and WIFI_AP intents and see what I'm saying) and b) whenever you stop it (on ef02, anyway) it reboots the phone. This was with the latest beta.
The built in stuff is made by samsung for the phone, and communicates with the rest of the OS using certain intents that are very useful. It also works very well in my day or so of testing. (Uninstalled android wireless tether right away )

Yes, if I use my paid Hotspot, I have to wipe cache and Dalvik before I use WifiTether otherwise I have issues.

Just out of curiosity, did you Root your device? If yes, did you use a WI-FI only image? If you have not Rooted your device, maybe give some more information on the device specs to allow us to help you out even more?

Yes my Xoom is rooted. I'm using Tiamat 2.0 Rom and Tiamat Tachi Kernal

I am guessing you used this forum for the Download of your ROM for your tablet -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146153 -- and while reading it, I noticed that there are many times that solarnz says things like:
Version 2.0
Rebased off the 3.2 wifi image.
3G Support on Android 3.2
sdcard is now at /mnt/external1 and is viewable via MTP
Any application that can write to /sdcard can now write to /mnt/external1
usbOTG drives now mount at /mnt/usbOTG and act identically to the sdcard.
Now comes with the Katana 2.0 stock GPU kernel.
/MicroSD and /usbOTG synlinks to their respective locations in /mnt
Automatically modprobe all kernel modules, apart from the wireless module.
New wallpaper & charging icons
And this gives me the impression that you are maybe using a 3G Verizon Version of the ROM. I would suggest that if this is the case, you should change your ROM to a WI-FI only ROM. You obtained the Update when Verizon pushed out their latest update for the 3.1 ROMs.
Please Correct me if I am wrong on the specs of your device and I will help you as much as I can... I, too, have a Wi-Fi only Xoom tablet and just recently rooted it from 3.2 Stock From The Box to 3.2 Stock Root using this method -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760 -- and has been working for me in the last 48 hours
I hope I helped you some, and if I did not, please let me know and I will still try and help you till the problem is fixed (or someone will come in and help )

Thank you very much!!! I didn't think I would be able to get that update cause I have WiFi only Xoom. I thought that OTA update from Verizon was over 3G or 4G network. I'll check out the link you used. I'm not too good at this. I just know how to flash roms, kernals, and themes. I paid someone to root my Xoom. Since my Xoom is rooted can I just flash a WiFi only rom or do I have to follow all the steps on 2nd link u posted?

You are quite welcome ^_^... The stupid OTA updates for Verizon push out over wifi and (have been a vain in my dev rooted phones that do not have verizon accounts attached to them) haha!
You should be able to push a rom following the steps on the forums if you have Clockwork's ROM Manager (FREE in the market place) and TRUE Super User Access (AKA Super User App to test this out). All you need to do is place a few files in certain locations and wala, you have a WI-FI only Rom installed and ready for you to use ( I would note, that you should back up your apps and files and such on the internal memory, JUST in case you want your information that you have on it now again heh...) There are many apps for the bookmarks and such if you need that kind of backing up, but make sure that you do not leave anything you can't live without on the internal memory So All I need to say now is that IF you do have Rom Manager, and IF you do have True Super User on the device, then you should be good to go if you have the WI-FI only ROM that is needed to flash the Xoom Tablet (Please look for ClockWork ROM Manager tutorials to help you with SUCH and make sure you have a stable Rom (aka looking at comments) that you want to try out ^_^!!!)
I wish you the best and the fastest way of fixing your problem, and tell your friend he needs to note a Wi-Fi only tablet ROM is not the same as a 3g tablet ROM hehe!

WiFi Tether in all AOSP roms.

As all of us know that there is no WiFi Tether/Hotspot working in any of AOSP roms due to lack of drivers, I came across a software called Barnacle Wifi Tether.
this app works absolutely fine on MIUI and CM7.
this app can be downloaded form market too. And its absolutely free.
now you can share your internet on laptop.

Please tell me which version of CM/MIUI ypu're using, and the kernel.
With MIUI v9-10.1+vurrut kernel v1,3,4, the app will appear to be working, but you won't be able to find the phone as hotspot from other devices.

It will only work with laptops.
N I tried this app on Waleed's CM, Ganesh's CM. JP MIUI_9. I dint used any other kernel. Just the default ones. N keep all setting un changed in the app.
Note- your wifi must be switched off and internet connection must be on. Then only it will work.

[Q] ATT-SGH-I727-UCLK4-odexed-cwm.zip *NATIVE* Tethering

Has anyone figured out how to enable *native* wifi tethering on this rom? The "Ultra Config" method no longer works and I dont want to use a third party app.
I am running Cyanogen Mod 10 and the native tethering works fine. Is there any way I can copy files from CM10 into this rom to enable it? I noticed in CM10 there is no ultracfg.apk in the system folder.
Thanks in advance!

I figured that is why I would ask. I will stick to CM10 or revert back to ICS until the native tether is fixed.
When I use the ultracfg.apk method I lose all internet connectivity with ALWAYS ON, when I switch back to ALWAYS OFF the connection comes back. Go fig.
