I was just able to turn on wifi tethering on the phone without needing root.
looks like they left the capability in the phone but just removed the menu from settings.
I'll post how to do it after I test out a few more things.+
@@@ Update @@@
thanks to Silvist for pointing this out.
A new version of the Wifi Tether app is working with the indulge.
Im getting 5mb down from the phone to my ipad.

Under wifi tether app settings
Change Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Indulge
Change Setup-Method to Auto
and Access-Control should be off unless you want it and know what it is.
I ran it on my phone for two and a half hours. The battery went from 86% to 9%. The phone didnt become hot like it did when using barnical. Also by using the settings listed the hotspot will run in infrastructure mode, not Ad-Hoc.
