This is primarily for those of you who have a Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with Verizon Wireless and would like to not have to pay for tethering while we wait for customs roms. I apologize in advance for not being able to post links. The required files are attached.
NOTE:
- If you are not already rooted, please follow GigaSPX's guide on how to root your Z3v.
- Please download and install wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
- Open the installed app and verify that Disable Update-Check is selected under settings
- Press the big button to start tethering. Click grant when prompted for root access. The big button will turn yellow. Press it again to stop tethering. You will get a bunch of errors during this process, this is normal. This will install the required binaries and config files to /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/
- Restart your phone.
- Verify that tether.edify is located in /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/conf/ using root explorer or another file manager of your choice. If it does not exist repeat the above steps.
- Replace tether.edify with my modified version located in the attached tether.7z archive.
- You can now tether over wifi using this app.
NOTE:
- Enable WiFi-Encryption does not work.
- Enable Access-Control does work and can be used to prevent unauthorized access to your network.
