Description
Use your phone or your 3G modem stick with your Android device's USB host for Internet access - even if it is Wifi-only.
- Needs root access
- Needs USB host
- Needs a powered USB hub (unless your device has plenty of power)
- Some devices (e.g. Samsung) need additional kernel drivers
- Contains native tools for ARM and X86
This app is free. No ads. No data gathering.
Warning: there is no guarantee that every Android/modem combo will work. Don't blame me!
!! If your combination does not work, help with improvement !!
Don't just complain in a short comment. See app homepage for feedback options.
Details:
This widget is a frontend for the PPP daemon which enables Internet access over almost any USB device with modem capabilities, including mobile phones.
For 3G sticks, the usb_modeswitch tool is included to bring them into modem mode, in most cases fully automatic.
Even if this app needs root access for device preparation and building the connection, it does NOT alter any system files!

That's quite interesting and would have been more so if I wasn't about to sell my Nexus 7 tablet. Thanks for the share.
