Droid Incredible How to WiFi Tether on the Incredible

So it took me quite a while to get this to work, so I thought I would save all of you Incredible owners an easy step by step guide with the proper files to turn your Incredible in to a WiFi hotspot.

1. Download the WiFi apk file to your PC.
2. Download the .bin file taken from an HTC Evo system dump, put it on your PC as well. It is important to do this WITH a PC, for some reason it wouldnt work when I did all the steps from the phone itself.
3. Hook your phone to the PC and mount your SD card.
4. Open the SD Card and create a folder called android.tether in the root of your SD Card (that means not in any folders)
5. Now, move both the apk file and bin file to this newly created folder
6. Disconnect the phone from the PC, open up a file manager on the phone and navigate to the android.tether folder
7. Click the apk file to install the WiFi app
8. Once it is completed installing, reboot the phone.
9. Once the phone turns back on, go to the app drawer and run the WiFi program, you dont need to change any settings, just click on the screen where it says 'touch to start'
10. You will need to allow 'SU' (super user) privelidges and then it will start up
11. On your laptop go to your wireless network list, you will see a new PC to PC connection called 'Androidtether', click connect and away you go

A few things first, it is VERY important to keep the bin and apk files IN the android.tether folder, why the apk file? I have no idea, but those are the steps I followed.

Also, you must be rooted for this to work.

Happy tethering!

For this step by step, I would say its for Sense based phones.
But the first link in my post will take you to the site where you can download the .apk file for the other phones, then follow the instructions there.
(of course, you must be rooted for this to work)

Rooting is perfectly legal, no need to hide
Rooting has one draw back, that is you void your warrenty, but you can always revert.
Here is a down and dirty definition to rooting by one of our memebers (Weapondrift) http://www.everythingandroid.org/forum/android-hacks/root-by-definition-38581.html

You can do WiFi tether, remove stock apps, take screenshots, full backup of your entire system, load new roms, or any app that requires superuser permission, just to name a few.

Which phone do you have?

Must haves?
Only must haves for me are WiFi tether and some sort of screen shot app.

I do use a custom ROM, check my signature for the info on it.
