So finally rooted

[Tcizzle]

So, realizing that ICS will be longer than I hoped, I finally rooted using motofail.:icon_ banana: So I froze some bloatware. What is the best wifi tether? Is there a hack to make my ringer louder? Not really into ROMing, so what else would be beneficial?

You can try FoxFi or this: android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting (Use 3.1 Beta 11)

I have Foxfi now. It works. Wonder if it's traceable. Also just seeing if there may be a better one. Any other root apps I should get?

Foxfi is good but wifi tether is better,more ui and has a widget. its set up like the hotspot built in the phone.its not traceable as of yet. had since it since i bought my bionic in nov. no difference in billing.root explorer is a must...clockwork also.

There is a hack for mobile hot spot somewhere that let's you tether and Verizon can't see it...

I wonder about this as well.

You can freely USB tether on the bionic without any 3rd party apps or modifications. Since all you're doing is replacing the cable with WiFi; I don't see why vzw would care.

For tethering or hotspot?

You can freely USB tether on the Bionic with no extra charge, 3rd party apps, or modifications.

Normally, if you try to USB tether on a vzw phone natively you'll get redirected to a vzw page. On the Bionic (maybe other LTE devices?) you can just do it. No page redirects. According to people who have asked vzw about it say it's not extra.

Made a topic about it when I first discovered it. For whatever reason it's not really well known. Which is kind of weird since it's free verizon approved tethering.
