Android 2.3.6 - USB Tethering and ADB at the same time

Question

I'm trying to use USB tethering and ADB at the same time with a rooted Android 2.3.6 (yeah, old, I know) but I can't, when I activate USB tethering, adb stops recognizing the device. Is it how Android 2.3.6 works? Is there anything I can do to have both working?

Thanks!

I need to get the tethered internet connection on the same computer that I'll run adb, then I cannot connect the computer to another wifi network, can I? — Adami, May 15 '13 at 02:32
Actually you should be able to connect a computer to two networks, though autoconfiguration wizards may get in your way. — Chris Stratton, May 15 '13 at 03:56
@ChrisStratton Will I be able to use internet connection from tether and wifi to adb at the same time? — Adami, May 15 '13 at 13:23
Presumably but it depends on the details of your non-standard (rooted) device. — Chris Stratton, May 15 '13 at 13:54

don't use the tethering option, disable it.

install proxoid app and start the server on your device. Then configure your system proxy for HTTP to be localhost on port 8080 and run:

adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

the first is the proxoid port and the second the one of your proxy

or you can enable adb over network and do both at once :) not sure if stock roms support this, cyanogenmod does though. – hanetzer Dec 17 '14 at 14:40
