I downloaded that Wifi Tether for root apk from the Code.google site, and I was wondering if you can install it that way, since its been banned from the market. I have searched the forums but have not found a way around this. anybody know how to do this?
 
Yes! If you really wanna know the bare bones of it from a programmer's way:
1) Download and install Google Android SDK. (http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/sdk/index.html)
2) Download Android USB drivers. (http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/sdk/win-usb.html)
3) Configure some settings.
- Go to Android Settings/SD card & phone storage and disable Use for USB storage. You can enable it again later after you installed your third-party application.
- Go to Settings/Application settings and enable Unknown sources.
4) Type command at command shell to install app: "adb install "

It's actually written @ http://www.careace.net/2010/05/12/how-to-install-non-market-apk-application-on-an-android-phone/

Hoping this helps.
 
Now you can directly install apps on your rooted phone using YouWave Android software.

If your phone is "rooted", you can wirelessly install Android apps from PC to your phone using Youwave Android software. With an ADB server running on your phone, such as the free app "ADBWireless", and a WiFi connection, installation can be done in a few clicks of your mouse. You just need to first start adb server (such as the app ADBWireless) on your phone and get the IP address and port number. And then on YouWave, you right-click the app icon that you want to install, and click "send to phone". YouWave software will ask you to enter once the phone's ip address and port number and then wirelessly install the app onto your phone in a few seconds. It is very simple.
