After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Yes it can. The easiest and least dangerous is to download z4root then Barnacle wifi tether.

Almost correct.
The best wifi app is Wireless Tether.
That was spruced up by GetItNowMarketing.
To find it read the second post in this thread below.

I just said "easiest"
Both (z4root and Barnacle) require zero config to get up and running. Wireless Tether requires an alternate kernel.Thanks
I prolly should have mentioned that in my reply, along with the "You void your warranty" disclaimer PS Thanks for the help last night on IRC. Got the Velocity ROM flashed finally, with a permanent recovery rom

What makes Wireless Tether so much better than Barnacle or any other Tether option available on Ally? Will it work on the latest stock ROM like other tethering Apps do?
I'm pretty sure Wireless Tether needs a custom kernel (Hence, some ROM hacking).
As for what makes it better? It seems to be more stable (Barnacle craps out sometimes), and is faster AFAIK.

I haven't had any issues with barnacle yet though I don't use it that much because I don't want any issues with Verizon. Has anyone here ever ran into any problems with Verizon after tethering their Ally with 3rd party apps? I know the standard "use at your own risk" line but any real world negative experiences anyone?
From what I've seen in my search to figure out how to do the tethering, occasional use always flies under their radar. There was one person who was using it as their home ISP as well, and he said he's never been bugged.
I used mine, for a few hours once a week, and never been bugged by VZW for going overboard on data... YMMV.

I dont know the reason but here is my bench mark.
We have net flix.
Net flix drops about every 10 minutes with Barnicle on 4 different Ally's
Wireless Tether Drops maybe once a day. And yes Wireless tether will work with most of the new Roms. If your Kernal is 2.6.29.6 your good to go.
side note: Weve never been bothered its our only internet.

Only if they find out.Thanks

If you go back stock they will never know.
I have several reports of people doing this from my going back to stock method. Its all good Brotha.
I need a new sig line... "You will void your warranty by following the instructions I give, if your carrier discovers the modifications you have done"
