Android proxy app (almost) allows for tethering

[dubb]

I'm so tempted to tether my EEE 900 to my g1 but I'm not so sure about making a debugging extension on xandros. in the guide it shows how to do it on ubuntu so thats where i stop. before i switched to tmobile i used a script and a utility on a treo which worked nice. its good to know that somebody is trying to make this happen. rather than waiting for it to happen. it won't mind spending $19.95 to tether.

A new version has been release. Which now uses Socks and it's a lot faster..
*EDIT*

No links to our competitors please.

Wow there are a lot of android forums out there talking about this.

Tethering wifi is actually quite useful since it should let you use T-Mobile hotspots.

The new version is a socks proxy. Given that you can socksify just about any tcp or udp based application, i feel it justifies the tether title more than the previous version.

Who's got the new version working? I mostly only hear negative feedback

It should work pretty much the same on all x86 linux distros. You'll need to uncompress the SDK download and snag the adb program.

The udev rules things is just about creating a single file that apparently just sets the permissions on the device when it's plugged in. I believe if you were to run adb as root then you could circumvent these steps (although it'd be less secure).

I do all my development work on kubuntu

Odd, When I try to install the new APK it thinks it's trying to replace Android System!

Is the process/App name built correctly??

I uninstalled the old Proxy before I did this and rebooted

Hmmm, seems to be browser based install is the problem.

If I use

adb install Tetherbot.apk

Then it INSTALLS FINE!!!! You may want to try a Browser install and see if you can repro what I saw.

But for some reason having an issue... The local proxy redirect for adb is running and the service is running (and adb see's the phone), however nothing is working. My just be proxy behaviour on mac firefox, will try on a Windows VM and advise

I still can't get this to work! UGH

Can someone confirm who has this working on the new build if they just change the socks proxy entry in Firefox? Is it Socks 4 or 5? Doing as a standard web proxy with the old build worked fine.

Make sure the http proxy field is blank, also you might need to change

network.proxy.socks_remote_dns

to true in your firefox config

Ok I think I am close. But I need a very clear explanation of Proxy settings in FireFox. I am running on mac. Tether via USB debugging is confirmed. I just can't get the Proxy Settings right. Can anyone confirm the FireFox Network settings. Please make it idiot proof. Thanks in advance.
