So I had an Android phone when they were very new. It was a Samsung phone that had a slide out keyboard. After that I obtained an iPhone 4s and never went back. I now own an iPhone 6 Plus that is still running iOS 9.0.1 because I need to keep my jailbreak so I can keep using a glorious tweak called TetherMe. It essentially activates the hotspot on my phone and makes it unlimited even though I do not pay for it through Sprint. I have been using my iPhone this way for several years now. It serves as both my phone and my home internet connection so I can easily blow through 25+ gigs a month.
My question is how feasible/easy would it be for me to get the exact same set up on a new Android device such as a Google Pixel or Essential Phone? I've seen some posts on this site as well as others about how it seems to be possible but I'm really wondering if it is as easy as it was for me to jailbreak and install a tweak through Cydia. In addition, are these the kinds of apps that can be broken with a new update? Part of the reason I'd like to go Android is in the hopes that I can keep my phone updated but still get to keep my hotspot.
TLDR: How easy is it to get unlimited hotspot on a new Android device like the Essential Phone?
