wifi tethering apps can sometimes be a little wonky, but i find that using Barnacle Wifi Tether regardless of the ROM you are using, always seems to work just fine. and it's free on Market to.
I am running SoaB v1.03 and use Open Garden WiFi Tether (free) from the market and it works fine.

Garden WiFi was very bad for me, everything I ran it caused me to lose root permissions and I would have to fix them via recovery.

Hey everyone,
I used VisionARY to temp root my G2 and I'm trying to use Barnacle for hot spot tethering. It has super user access and says its running but my network doesn't show up in my iPad or anywhere else. I'm using a 5 key WEP. I've tried using different channels. Any ideas why?

I tried several configurations on Barnacle connecting from Win7 and never had any luck. I finally downloaded Wifi Tether from here (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk):

Initially that didn't work either until I turned on WPA on Wifi Tether and then Win7 connected to it without any complaints.
Hope that helps.

That worked. Its running perfect even without WPA. Thank you!

Have a new problem now. My iPad picks up and drops my network over and over every second or two. A friend of mine has a Hero using the same tethering app with no issues. Any ideas why?

Hey thanx kevnkate..I couldnt find an app that would tether with the G2..It works now and its running fast..thanx
Running heinz 57 rom on cell south showcase. Whenever I turn on hot spot, I lose my data connection. Devices are able to connect to my phone no problem, but obviously internet not working for those devices.
Wireless tether works fine, but it is only for one device and uses wep instead of wpa.
Anyone had any success with this?

I have same rom and phone and mine does this also. But wireless tether does work so no biggie.

Yeah, was just hoping to get better encryption and ability to let more than one person connect.

Hey here's the lowdown.
4g xoom w/tiamats 3.2.4 lte rom. Same kernal packaged with the rom.
I've searched around looking for a wireless tether app to work with the xoom.
Wireless tether 3.1-beta, wireless tether 2.0.7, barnical, etc.
None work. Trying to tether laptop to xoom. Thanks.

Are you just NOT paying attention to the initial post for that ROM? It clearly states tethering, at least 4G, does not work with that ROM. You have to disable LTE. It is a bug with the Kernel/ROM and it should be fixed soon.
Luckily I'm not as much of a nob as yu think. I did read the op of his thread and saw that. Even when in 3g (toggled via settings), it won't tether.
For some reason the apps won't complete the process of setting up the tether. IDK if its something to do with the roms settings or the app. I use wireless tether personally on my x2 and it works great.
Guess I should say it fail at "starting softap" and "activating wifi interface".
Hope this helps with diagnosis.

Try removing any security and see if it works?

Security removed and still no joy. What is everyone else using to tether their xooms 4/3g?
Side note, hotspot notification from rom (blue tether hotspot notification) shows up when wifi tether is running.
Updated to beta8 and still doesn't work.

I don't use any special application, I just use the Wifi AP ability that is already native to Android.... it works fine with the XOOM.
That's funny cause everything that I have used, even the ap android tethering, doesn't work. Idk. Maybe I just have bad luck. Thx for yur guys help.

how do I use the native WiFi tether to my blu-ray? On my EVO it works fine but on the ns the blu-ray tells me its connected to router but not to the internet. I'm also rooted on cdma vrsion useing vhgomezs I.c.s. Rom. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: persistence pays off. I just kept trying and it worked. Go ahead delete.

Hey all!
I rooted my rooted Samsung Galaxy SII T989 for T-Mobile yesterday, and went to install wifi tethering with barnacle today. I was about to install when I saw the button "Wifi Hotspot" in the notifications bar. I clicked it, and used my wifi tethering. So my question is, what is the point in using barnacle? I can apparently now use T-Mobile's hotspot service for free, so it seems pointless to use a third party application. So my question would be: what is the point in freezing the wifi tethering process, or installing a new one when you can just use the normal tethering app?
Additional note: I'm using the Darkside Evolution Rom
It's all the same, same with HTC portable hotspot it does the same as WiFi tether or barnacle from the market

I don't mean if they work the same, I mean like if I use this will they charge me even though I never signed up for the service?
