EasyTetherLoader

Abstract

• In usual EasyTether installation, EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext is loaded on startup.
• This is problematic if you want to use adb (and other adb based programs).
• klink doesn't have such limitation (and I also recommend it), but some of you might have already bought EasyTether.
• Using this application as workaround, you can load EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext only when you want.

Configuration

• The source code is stored in EasyTetherLoader.applescript.
• Open it with AppleScript Editor and edit pw and adb_path.
  • ADB must be shut down before loading EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext. EasyTetherLoader will "adb_path kill-server" automatically.

Automated Installer

• Prepare p7zip-full (it uses 7-zip's dmg/hfs unpacker).
• Clone this repository.
• Chdir to the repository directory.
• Launch install.sh and it will prepare EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext and main.scpt.

Manual Installation

• Download EasyTether OSX installer (Don't install it).
• Open easytether.dmg and copy EasyTetherUSBEthernet.pkg to Desktop.
• Extract EasyTetherUSBEthernet.pkg using unpkg (http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/).
• Open contents of EasyTetherLoader.app and move EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext to Contents/Resources/.
• Create EasyTetherLoader.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/main.scpt using osacompile.
