Flashlight App Sneaks Tethering Into App Store [Pulled]

Just thought I would add, that the iphone is indeed capable of these things. The Jailbroken MyWy (I think? might be MyWi) app has done cable tether, bluetooth tether, and wifi hotspot tether for a while now.
on the windows 7 topic, I had to set the subnet mask ON MY LAPTOP to 255.0.0.0 while following all the rest of the same steps discussed earlier in this topic as well as in the original video.
Not the 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 or any of that.
I don't have parallels installed but I tried this (assuming u meant changing the subnet mask on the phone) and it killed the airport connection entirely. Went from self-assigned IP to no IP.
Just change it on the comp and not the phone? If so, this didn't work for me either.
Not all apps support SOCKS proxies. Also, I don't believe SOCKS supports protocols other than TCP, or inbound connections.
edit: Apparently SOCKS5 added UDP support. I take that part back.
Hey bro, I'm feeling your pain, everyone is getting this to work besides us haha.
tether from unjailbroke iphone on 4.0+ to ipad directly
got this app to tether directly to an ipad without another PC to start adhoc.. very messy, here's how:
initial (one time) setup:
1)on the ipad you'll need to install from cydia: lighttpd, mywi, sbsettings, and the lighttpd sbsettings toggle.
2)on the ipad you'll need to ensure 2 directories exist (create them if they don't) : /var/log/lighttpd and /var/www . (either ssh in and do it, or install netatalk as I did)
3)on the ipad create a file in /var/www titled "socks.pac" containing the following 3 lines:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
return "SOCKS 13.37.13.37:1337";
}
4)reboot the ipad and check sbsettings to ensure the toggle for lighttpd is green
5)on the iPad start MyWi, pick a SSID for the ad-hoc network and turn MyWI on.
6)on the iPhone, go into Settings, general, network, wifi, and pick the SSID you created. then click the blue arrow to go into advanced settings. choose "STATIC" for IP Address, and put "13.37.13.37" for IP and "255.255.255.0" for Subnet Mask. (back out of the settings and go back in to ensure those inputs saved!)
7)on the iPad, turn MyWi off and shut the app. go into settings, wifi, and pick the SSID you created (which is being sustained now by the iPhone). Take the blue arrow for advanced settings, choose "STATIC" for IP Address, and put "13.37.13.69" for IP and "255.255.255.0" for Subnet Mask. Also put HTTP Proxy to Auto and for the URL input "http://localhost/socks.pac". (back out of the settings and go back in to ensure those inputs saved!)
8)open HandyLight on the iPhone, hit "blue - yellow - red - tap upper right hand corner" to start tethering (handylight screen will go purple if you keyed in the correct sequence of colors and corner tapping)
Now ensure it works by using web browser on the iPad! (if not try to reboot the iphone, reconnect it to the ad-hoc network and restart handy light.. i had to do that the first time I got setup to this point, i'm thinking it was an ARP issue after the iPad changed from the self-assigned IP to the 13.x.x.x)
To start it up again in the future:
1) Open MyWI on the Ipad and start the AdHoc network
2) connect the iphone to this network in settings
3) shut off and close MyWI on the Ipad
4) connect the ipad to this network in settings
5) open HandyLight on the iPhone, hit "blue - yellow - red - tap upper right hand corner" to start tethering!

all apps work with proxifier
i got it working but was dismayed that mail.app didn't work. after some research i found proxifier (available for mac/win), which forwards all network apps to the proxy. you just run this app *instead* of setting up the proxy in network prefs and you're gold. all you have to do is set up a new proxy using the same settings, turn on name resolving (i think) and mail, firefox, ftp, ichat, etc work fine without having to turn on any app-specific proxy settings!
downside is it's $40, but worth it to me to get everything working... unless anyone knows of a cheaper/free option?

OR, they could just look on appshopper

Wiki??? For reals??
I have a droid that's been out for almost a year running 2.1. I tethered last week to my MBP 17 using bluetooth DUN. Didn't pay any extra for anything.. I wish my iPhone4 did it so I wouldn't have had to carry two phones last week on my trip. But it didn't.
Wifi hotspot is what is new in 2.2, but tethering the way I did been out for a while.
With this flashlight app, now I won't..
So random thought for some of you that are stuck. Make sure you are hitting APPLY after you put in all the network settings on your Mac. For some dumb reason I was overlooking this step. Everything looked right, and all the info was in right, but unless you hit APPLY it won't make any difference.
Dumb simple mistake, but made all the difference. Hopefully it helps one or two of you.

Just jb thn you can get all the teethering you need. Also check out alt.binaries.smartphones for apps.
I dont feel bad when I see apple pull something like this. It's like spearing the word on osx86 and that they now offer a script that allows updates. No sense in paying for it, so it's free.
If he was running a custom ROM, it might be confusing as they've had USB tethering for a very long time now. Apparently it was ported over from code that was on the HTC Hero. I'm not sure who wrote that code though, whether it was Google or HTC.
Replying via tether...
surprisingly snappy, wouldn't count on downloading any big files, but good enough for we browsing, chat, email, etc.

Haha I know right?? Feels like being back in grade school. All the kids come back from Christmas break playin with all the new hot ***** and all you got is some new socks! SMH Oh childhood flashbacks
But seriously though, it's getting frustrating.I appreciate the suggestion but nope, not it.

Dude i don't even know what i am googling. Cracked flashlight ap tethering? Can you link me please?
Also, how do you install cracked iphone programs? I'm new to this. I have an iphone4 so it's not jailbroken.
can somebody please help me... i know this sounds pathetic but my only qualm with iphone is tethering and lack of it.. This would make my day if somebody could help me get it on my non-jailbroken iphone4
