Hi everyone,
I'm running 2.1 on my X8, Rooted it, in order to use the internet on my PC or Laptop.

Has anyone Tethered an Xperia X8 befour???

I have downloaded a Wifi tether app (called "wifi tether") from the market. When I launch the App an error msg tell's me "Sorry, but your kernel dose not have all necessary features for running this application."

I would even be happy if I could use the USB cord, When I connect the cable there is no Tether option (only connect to pc or charge).

Can somebody please tell me if It is easy to "upgrade" the kernel, OR how to Tether via USB cable.

Thank you

Cheers Gabeyong,
I have looked at the post.
I have pdaNET, I am using "Easy Tether" as we speak. Seem's to work better.

Both (and all other) App's are VERY limited in freeware version. I can NOT afford, nor should pay, for tether ability. MOST other Android phones have the option to Tether when you plug a USB cable in. X8 has the hardware requirments. I will NEVER buy Sony Erricson again.
 
DONE IT!!!!
Once rooted, download "Barnacle Wifi Tether" (google it, easy1). This app will load it's OWN drivers and actually use your phone as a modem. The charges on my account were as if I used this SIM card in my USB Dongle.

To tether using USB, Little more work. You need not only a custom ROM, but a custom KERNEL. Many post's on this site about both.

THIS IS THE ONLY 2 WAYS TO USE YOUR PHONE AS A USB MODEM. All other app's just use your phone credit as if you were browsing on your phone.

Thank you.
