First, I want to say thank you for all of the valuable tips I have received from this forum. Anyways, I have successfully rooted my hero and have deleted all of the bloatware that I did not want. I like how my hero is currently set up but I do want to add the wireless tether app. If someone could list the order of commands to push the app onto my phone I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
Copy the apk to your sd card and use app manager from the market to install.
From what I understand, the only way is to install a ROM. For whatever reason, simply installing the APK does not work.
I have not installed any other ROMs, I am only rooted and using the stock Sprint ROM that came with the phone. I found this link over at PPC Geeks yesterday and apparently the creator has updated it to work on a rooted Sprint ROM.

I just installed it with HTC Sync and it works perfectly ;-)
Indeed it is as simple as downloading the app in the previous post and running it, in fact I am posting this right now while using the tether connection from my sprint hero (just rooted, no custom ROM).
help please
i have installed this app on my rooted htc sprint hero 2.1 android update 1 as recommended above and it shows on my ipad (iOs 4.3) but when i connect to it it says I am connected on the ipad but when I launch safari it says not connected to Internet. I did set a pass phrase of 13 digits on the app but the ipad never asked me for it. Then I tried it without encryption and I got the same error message.
I hope I am asking this in the right place and hope someone can help me. I am open to trying a different app if anyone has a better suggestion or any idea how to get ipad to tether to rooted hero? thanks for your help!
Wireless tether for root users.
Free in the market.

i believe that is the same as the link posted by "cold sweat" above because that's what I installed and not working.
No, it isn't. The one from the market is pretty much what everyone uses.

Mine is touch and go. Wireless tether only seems to work with certain kernels. I know on my moment kernels had to have netfilters enabled to work.

ok ill try and uninstall the tether i installed from link above and install from market. will let you know how that goes later on. will hope for the best!
Did your PC recognize the tether app as a network?
Did you give permissions in the app to the PC that is connecting?
i am not trying to tether to pc. i am trying to tether to ios 4.3 ipad. i did give permisions in the app to the ipad which is connectiing and it came up as green symbol in tray once i did. but that was using the older link for the tether app. I hope the newer one works better which is in the market.
thank you!! but 1 more question...

yeaaaaaaaaaaaa, that worked. I guess the android tether that was linked in this thread is an older version (14) than the one in the market. It works great now on the iPad. I did not go in and set a password, do you think that is a good idea? I have an unlimited data plan so not sure if it is even neccesary or a good idea to mess with the settings on the app.

You would still have to approve the device when it tries to connect....
ok then i wont change the settings for fear trying to fix something that is not broken could take an app which is working into not working lol. thanks again for all your help!
now that iam rooted is it possible to move apps to sd or would i need to get a custom rom? I am on stock 2.1 update 1 (rooted htc sprint hero)
You would need a rom that supports apps2sd. Word of advice, don't put apps with widgets you run on the sd card. They won't be found and you'll get the "problem loading widget" display.

I don't use apps2sd at all. Just don't like burning out and replacing my card all the time.
thanks to everyone for being so helpful to a newbie!!
Curious if anyone has the gemrb engine from market or the apk from sourceforge working on g tablet. I got it all setup best i could from the instructions with the config file and baldurs gate 2 files in place but it just disappears immediately when i try to start it. Would be so cool to gt bg 2 and the icewind dales and planescape torment runing on here. If anyone else can give it a shot and gets any further or knows something im missing, please let me know! Im running vegan b5.1 with one of clemsyns kernels.
Nevermind, turns out theres a folder under override i needed to copy the contents of for bg 2, got it working now.
Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!!!
Oh Gods, there's actually a whole website dedicated to Misc and Boo.
Hi all
Very happy with my transformer so far. Glad I waited to buy this. I have been trying to get the zinio application to work. Downloaded the apk files off the xda forum however the application crashes every time I try load. I can get as fa as logging in. Anyone had more success.
The press reader AP was pre installed on the transformer but I can't uninstall it as it says it is a system application. My Asus is not rooted and is running the lastest firmware.
Cheers
I used zinio from g2x and its been working great. Here's the info and download links:

Just installed it & it works for me. I use Readers Hub to access my magazines.

Thanks for that. I was looking around and had no luck. Those new files worked great. I just went straight into the Zinio reader.
Hi
I want to enable my Transformer to be able to use 3G with an 3g USB Stick.
I've read that i need to install "3G Enabler", but where can I find it?
Thanks!
Dominik
enabler
try one or both of the revolverparts in the attachmend.
if you have then no luck, unzip the 3g.zip, sync your
transformer with ASUS sync and run "install-tf101".
Thanks, I installed the 2 apps, but I do not see any new settings.
Where can I verify and setup the dongle?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
ah i forgot, you have to be on prime 1.5 or revolver 2.x before.
if in settings there is no mobile network, there is no chance
for 3g .
I know you can enable wifi direct under more settings. But I can't find the option to send files through wifi direct. Does anyone know what's the problem? Or isn't this option integrated in Sense?
I've seen that a friend of mine can send files to me through wifi direct (with an SGS3). So I know this method works on android.
FYI I have an unrooted One S, so I'm running stock rom.
Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old thread, but does Wifi Direct work on a One S? I was hoping that the Jellybean update (4.1.1) would have sorted this problem, but I still cannot get it to work.
Just to let everyone know that after a bit of messing around I’ve managed to use Wifi Direct between the HTC One S and my Galaxy S3.
Note: HTC One S has been updated to version 4.1.1 so I’m not sure if that has made a difference or not, as I still cannot use wifi direct without a 3rd party app.
From the PlayStore, download app “Wifi Direct” and install on BOTH phones.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImRlLmo0dmVsaW4ud2lmaWRpcmVjdCJd
Run both apps on both phones, it seems to work better if use the HTC Ones S to click on connect to “GS3 name” and click on GS3 to accept the invitation. It will then say connected.
All you have to do then is use ES File Explorer on GS3 (or similar app), find the file you want to send, click and hold on that file, select Share, and click on the newer Wifi Direct symbol app that you have installed, not the Samsung Wifi Direct app.
Just done a test file of 350mb and that took about 2 mins
