Start tether without using the touchscreen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Unable to start Tether without using touch screen
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version, running Ion R2 rom (worked fine before losing 
touchscreen/digitizer functionality)

Please provide any additional information below.
It was working for me but I had a crack in my digitizer, after replacing 
the digitizer, I have lost the touch functionality.. not sure if I will be 
able to fix that on the phone. The ball and all other buttons work fine, 
is there a way to start the tether without having to touch the screen?

yes... this question belongs in the forums, not as an enhancement.

/data/data/android.tether/bin/tether is the script used to start and stop 
tethering,
open terminal emulator and run it.

Fixed in r445 by adding listener to MainActivity that handles trackball clicks. 
Gets confirmation, then starts or 
stops tether as appropriate. Let me know if this doesn't meet your needs.
