[Q] how to get wifi hotspot after rooting

I recently rooted my HTC inspire with Hack Ace and everything went fine. I want to implement wifi hotspot with out the message from att to pop up. What's the next step?

Get a tethering app. Some roms have the feature baked in.

try foxfi, its good

I tried that one an also WiFi tether, pdanet, but eather say that is blocked by HTC or get the at&t message. I haven't flashed a new Rom yet or changed anything, just rooted. My main purpose in rooting is that, tethering.

Now this isn't a "hotspot" app per say.
But it gives you the ability to use your phone as a wifi tether.
Try, easytether.

Ordroid 7.1.3 Wifi-Tether (temporary tether fix)

Hey Guys, i think i should post it.
I mon OrDroid 7.1.3. Wifi-Tether dont work for me. Only with the Wifi-Tether.apk from the Rom.
(BUT) when i disable the connection, i cannot connect it again.
i have make a backup a view days ago.
so i restored my backup and go to the apk, connected and it works again, but you should be not disable it again
Friendly greets from Austria

In fact you don't need to restore your backup, just restart your beloved sensation is OK. At least it works in my case.

Hi.. Could you send me the apk. I am on the latest version of OrDroid. The wi-fi tethering is not working yet.

I'm using ordroid 9.0.0 and I found a tethering app that actually works! I'd all Its all in the settings. It's called WiFi tether! When I first tried it I thought it didn't work but I had my settings wrong. Now its a God send! It works perfectly! If you want to tether try out this app, if you have trouble with settings I can help! Before you know it you will be tethering again too ! No drivers needed is as simple as on and off once the settings Are correct ! I'm so happy I had to share this so other people can tether again too!

Yep its true! Works beautifully! Tip: make sure and follow his settings to the tee! It's so wonderful to be tethering again! I'm also using ordroid 9.0.0. This app is so simple no driver to mess with , just on and off! First time I tried it I thought it didn't work, it was my bad on the settings! I got the settings right and BAM I'm tethering again and so happy! I missed tethering so much! So if you want to tether read this link and follow settings for the WiFi tether application. It really works!!! This app is a God send and so is the dude who figured out the settings! I'm happy happy happy and tethering daily again!

Wi fi tether works if you get settings correct settings also you have to do. Battery pull at the beginning of every tethering session. Settings Are as follows., check tethering and routing fix , disable wake lock, check set up wext ad hoc make sure that's checked, use device profile generic ics , DNS 8.8.8.8
Lan.192.168.2024, transit power disabled. If it started with a error just turn off power, pull battery, put battery back in, turn on power and you will be tethering ! This is for WiFi tether app. Hope I've helped you! Let me know

no wifi tether does not work i have tried those settings before somebody already told me that but did not worked , thx anyways i got it working with vpn finally that really works .........

Just make a new APN in Settings and point it to epc.tmobile.com. Then use the APN, five minutes or so later you should be able to tether without issues. Yes, you already have a epc.tmobile.com APN but we need to make a new one that doesn't have that admin property.

I tried Vipers Rom but it is not working for me only VPN worked for me ....

search in google about free tethering with ics
well it is said that ICS update will disable the free tethering for t-mobile.
I would post a link to the article, but the forum wouldn't let me yet since I'm a new user D:
T mobile said they will start charging extra $14.99 per month if you choose to use the hotspot option on your sensation that runs on ICS.
I was hoping to find out if custom rom will help in such situation.
However, I've heard that there are lots of issues rooting a phone. starting with security something.....
I've never rooted my phone before. So I'm kinda scared to root it then voiding the warranty.
I would like to keep my warranty if you know what i mean ;]

I, too have been killed by the ICS update.
I have the HTC Sensation 4G.
So would you post what you put in for the VPN settings?
Be gentle, please, I don't know anything about this stuff.
PS: I do not want to ROM my phone since it's still under warranty.
Thanks in advance.

Sweet!

Works like a charm!
I was researching how to root my Sensation 4G due to the tethering issue when I came across this post. Worked smoothly though there was a glitch that the SSID defaulted to "AndroidAP" and went unsecured. Nothing I did could fix it till I reset to the previous image and then recreated the the new APN. Its now working perfectly fine...
I was so happy, I registered here on XDA just to thank sshede!
Love ANDROID.. Take that Tmo! And thanks sshede!

ATT ics 4.04 updated.... now wifi hotspot won't work!

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?

Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

ICS 4.0.4 Hotspot
I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.

Well sky-ice 4.2f6 is a very nice and its based off of att official rom and seanzscreams does a rom right.

Actually I found a fix for it. Install and run Wifi Hot spot & USB tether lite from svtp and that causes Tue stop hot spot to work again.

Why is it so difficult to port WiFi Calling?

WiFi Calling doesn't exist on any of the custom ROMs unless it's based off of a T-Mobile ROM. Did they change the way WiFi Calling works?
What does it take port it over?
All I'm looking for is a Vanilla ICS ROM (AOSP, CM9, something like that) with WiFi Calling.

The wifi calling is built into the framework its not just an apk like it was before

Does it run off of drivers or something? Can't we port it over from another device (that has WiFi calling) running AOSP?
Sorry for the noobiness.

You need to enable it in the settings:
Settings > More > WiFi Calling
It allows you to substitute your actual cell signal for WiFi. For instance, if you're in a dead zone, and you can't get any service, turn on WiFi Calling and you'll be able to make calls and receive texts!
It's an absolute necessity for me.

I used the sim card that came with the phone, and whenever I try using wifi calling, it says that my sim is not compatible and to contact tmobile to get a proper compatible sim.

Have you tried calling T-Mobile about it?

What ROM are you using? If you're not running a T-Mobile ROM (for now), you won't have this feature.
You also need to have T-Mobile.

Leedroid doesn't support it. It's only for T-Mobile customers.
Does anyone know what from the framework is needed to port it?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Nah, I'm too lazy. On my Sensation, the feature wasn't so great. People couldn't understand what I was saying, so I figured it must still suck on this phone.

Every report of wifi calling, even in stock, said it sucked. It's built into the framework of TMOUS ROMs and there's little incentive to try and port it into others. Try Skype.

The feature is great on this device (according to my experience with it). I'm able to learn to understand whatever you have to teach me / I can help you with if you're willing to help port it.
What do you need help with?

It's not a "port". You can't just take the sense framework and tweak some configuration file or platform variable and have it work. Wifi calling is part of Sense now... No Sense, no Wifi calling, just like the Sense clock or any other widget.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Someone on the Trickdroid thread had the idea of taking the Sense framework and incorporating it into an .apk. Is that possible?

Why not just run a de-sensed Trickdroid with Nova or Apex launcher? Mostly the same experience as AOSP if you don't notice the performance hit.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I could do the same thing with Axiom S-Less (which has WiFi calling built in and is updated) but I want the full AOSP experience.
It might be mental, but I've always had a smoother experience with full AOSP versus de-Sensed ROMs. I'm speaking from experience with my T-Mo G2 days.

So if I use WiFi calling will it still use my mins?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Yes it will. It's good for situations where you have no cell reception.
