Can custom ROMs hide hotspotting?
I don’t know the current state of things, it’s probably more than 10 years since I’ve bothered with rooting and custom rooms and such.
But back then I remember my phone company tried to make me pay extra for tethering and there were a few tricks using root to get around it. I think there were a few apps out there that would work on the stock room that needed root, and I think it just worked out of the box with a custom ROM.
IIRC, at that time, my carrier had disabled the tethering options in the phone settings, and to tether you had to use their pre-installed app. My memory may be fuzzy on that though.
Yes of course, it’s a software thing.
Neat
Yes, if you spend a little time on it you can slowly phase out all of the fucked up software with better alternatives. I could also help you if you have questions.
I was planning on getting a pixel with Graphene OS because that’s the only one that seems reasonable.
Good choice
Yes and no. A custom kernel with a patch usually referred to as a “ttl fix” can, but a good amount of ROMs have that in their kernel by default.
Probably, but all you really need is an app called EasyTether. I wrote a big comment about it on this post.
