Found a Working WiFi Tether

Hey for y'all looking for root soley for a wifi tether, I found one that actually works w/ the stock phone! It's called FoxFi but it's hidden from our devices on the market. They have the apk tho on foxfi.com. Writing this from my laptop tethered on the Reverb atm :p

Also had success for wired tether via clockworkmods tether.

Need a second confirmation whether the Foxfi app actually provides Wifi tether. I have a Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy Reverb with an Android version 4.0.4. The app website said it does not support Jelly Bean, and the Google Play store said this device is not support.

Anyway, I tried to install the Foxfi app downloading the apk file directly from the website. I installed it on the phone and turn on the wifi hotspot. However, after I installed the app none my application were able to access/download anything off of the Internet. I eventually fix the problem by reverting back to factory settings and taking the battery for a while. It eventually allow the app access to the Internet, but I am not sure if it the battery or the reset to factory that fix the problem.

No root yet, it works on the stock rom.

Hey Tastycakes, you are able to check the Foxfi app working on the Samsung Galaxy Reverb? Can you let us know if you ran into any trouble with the app or was there anything special you had to do? I read a review for this app in Google Play, and I person mention he/she had to reboot the phone and take the battery out to get the app to work. Please let us know thanks alot.
