Hello, for the first time in trying to use stock os on a phone, only thing i have changed is i have rooted the phone. So i don't have option to use built in WiFi hotspot, so my question is which app is a good replacement to get the same functionality as built in hotspot?

Wifi tether...
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted
Wifi Tether from Play Store works just fine for me!
For wired tethering, I choose to use dropbear, forward a port through adb and create a tunnel over SSH. This way I can use my phone's data connection in one browser (as a proxy), and regular connection in another. Useful for browsing at work.
+1 for WiFi tether for Root. Make sure to select generic ics for the profile.

I'm trying to use the app WiFi tether on my rooted EVO but when I activate it I don't think its actually sending out WiFi. None of my other devices pick it up. Possible solutions?

I'm trying to run the WiFi hotspot on my HTC DROID DNA.Please let me know how can i use the same ?
Next time move any questions to the questions and answers thread. You can use foxfi for a non rooted solution or if you are rooted use the wifi tether app (I'm not sure if it is on the playstore anymore though)

Are there any third party apps (root or NON-ROOT) that allow me to use my hotshot. Wifi tether nor foxfi work.

Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hotspot. Sorry darn auto correct
what ROM are you running? i am on CM10.2 at the moment, and the built-in hotspot in the settings menu works on it, and i seem to remember it working on the rooted stock Sony .257 ROM also.
In using stock .257 but rooted

My Ultra is completely stock and I just use the built in hotspot on the handset for tethering purposes. If your network and tariff doesn't allow tethering, then the hotspot may be greyed out, in which case you will not be able to tether at all. The wifi hotspot setting (on stock rom) is in settings, more, tethering and hotspot.

If your network does block tethering, it may be worth looking at rooting.

Hey just got the latest update from HTC/Verizon it disabled my WiFi tether through foxfi and if anyone knows a workaround (I already tried usb to router with no success) that would be awesome.

I think the only solution would be to get an app from the play store that isn't blocked if one exists, or switch to a custom rom like Viper DNA and on that wifi tethering works.
