ClockworkMod Tether is similar to PdaNet and EasyTether in the sense that it is a two-part one — it requires you to download a program to your computer and install an app on your Android device to work. This two-part process is the tradeoff required for not requiring root access. What makes ClockworkMod Tether special is Koush has designed it to specifically avoid detection by carriers.
You see carriers want you to pay them extra money to tether your Android device to your computer; and in order to stop you from tethering without paying them, they have clever ways of detecting when you are tethering.
Koush claims his ClockworkMod Tether app employs methods that make it harder for carriers to detect when you are tethering. However, Koush is a highly respected and well known developer so if he says ClockworkMod Tether avoids detection by carriers, then it probably does. Disclaimer: dotTech and Ashraf are not responsible for any fees you may incur. At this time only wired USB tether is supported but Koush promises to add wireless bluetooth tether in the future. Wireless WiFi tether will most likely never happen with ClockworkMod Tether because the whole point of this tether app is to not require root; and the only way to do Wireless WiFi tether is to have root access.
I asked Koush if he plans on making ClockworkMod Tether free or paid. He said there will be free and paid versions. However, he did not elaborate what the differences between ClockworkMod Tether free and ClockworkMod Tether paid will be. At the time of this writing ClockworkMod Tether is a new app; it is in Alpha stage right now.
So not only is it not fully finished, but it may contain bugs although it worked perfectly for me. There is no timetable for when ClockworkMod Tether will be at public release but I will be sure to post about it when it is. On the 7th you have to download and install the updated version of ClockworkMod Tether Alpha to continue to use it.
Also, ClockworkMod Tether works for all Android phones but may or may not work for tablets. Finally, the process of installing and using ClockworkMod Tether may change once it has reached public release status; what I am describing below is how to use ClockworkMod Tether Alpha.
When you are done tethering, clicking tapping on the green icon in the ClockworkMod Tether app allows you to stop tethering; or you can simply disconnect the USB cord. Whenever you want to tether again, simply run ClockworkMod Tether program on your computer and hit Start — it will automatically launch the ClockworkMod Tether app on your device and start tethering.
It is hard to make a decisive conclusion on ClockworkMod Tether while it is in Alpha stage as to if it offers anything better than the non-root-wired-tethering apps PdaNet and EasyTether.
