Hello, I would like to access the internet connectivity on one android phone from another one via usb tether (not wifi/bluetooth). Can usb tethering or reverse tethering enable this? So far I have learned that the android phones can only be tethered to PC's. Also does the special pass-through feature on the HTC One series enable connecting to another phone or tablet?
I have a Galaxy S2 HD LTE SHV-E120S rooted. Would installing Cyanogenmod enable such a function?

My question is i have my phone all rooted up and i installed the wireless tethering and it seems to be working fine but for some reason it wont connect to my Nintendo DS lite (now i heard that the wireless tethering uses ad-hoc which from what im reading is NOT supported in the nintendo DS now i was reading on other forums that there is a way to uses a different wireless tethering so it will use AP mode so that it will connect to the DS does anyone know if this is possible to do and how to do it?
Thanks

I am wondering if it is possible to hook up my phone via USB-cable to
my computer to gain access through my broadband and then via
portable wi-fi make my phone into a wi-fi AP with the same speed as
that I get from my computer instead of using my phones 3G connection
wich is much slower than my computer..
Is there any apps out there that can help me with this? And, if it is
possible, do I need to root?
My phone is a HTC Incredible S, not rooted (yet..)
Does anyone know if the USB hosting functionality in 3.1 will allow me to connect my XOOM (3G model but with no wireless plan), to my rooted Droid Eris via USB so that I can share my Eris data connection with my Xoom via Rooted USB Tether?
My other option I guess would be to root the Xoom and attempt to add ad-hoc wireless support.

No way would it be possible for the number of different RNDIS devices, for it to ever be effective.
Your best bet is to root and get it to support ad-hoc.
My Wifi Xoom recognises my 2 phones - a Palm Centro and a 3 Skype phone and will pair over Bluetooth. But it doesn't want to "connect" to either phone.
Is it possible to use one of the phones as the modem to connect my Xoom to the Internet when there is no wifi available - tethering?
iPhone with iOS 5.1 worked via bluetooth tethering.
Android devices are known for their USB and Wi-Fi tethering abilities—rooted or unrooted—which comes in handy for those that travel and need internet on their laptops in areas that don't have any Wi-Fi networks available, but have a strong cellular signal.
And tethering via USB is pretty much everybody's preferred method, since it provides faster speeds compared to Wi-Fi tethering. Plus, your phone is constantly being charged, whereas Wi-Fi tethering drains your phone's battery.
While USB tethering your Android device to a Windows-based laptop is pretty easy, Mac users were required to root their phones in order to get the faster, more stable USB tethering to work. But not anymore. Now there's a new Android app on the market that lets you connect your un-rooted device to your MacBook for easy web access without any hiccups.
HoRNDIS, (pronounced horrendous) is a driver created by Joshua Wise for Mac OS X users with 10.6.8 and above. It allows you to use your Android smartphone's native USB tethering mode to gain internet access—Without rooting.
How to Use HoRNDIS on Your Mac for USB Tethering
To get started, first download the latest binary package of HoRNDIS from Github.
Follow the instructions in the installer. Once installed...
Connect your Android phone to your Mac via USB cable.
Go the settings menu on your phone.
In the connections section, select "More…".
Select "Tethering & Portable Hotspot".
Check the "USB tethering" box.
If everything worked out okay, your device should now become available in Mac OS X's network menu.
HoRNDIS has been tested extensively on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android Jelly Bean, but is reported to work just fine with other Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S, S2 and S3 as well as the new LG Nexus 4.
