Cm7 = better wimax. Why? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been using cm7 for a week or so now. The wimax has better signal and speed than ANY sense rom I have ever used. But why? Just trying to understand the reasons.
Sent from my Evo using XDA App.

Beats me. But I get better Wimax with CM7 too. Thanks Cyanogen!

really? mine is a lot worse - it drops off 4G frequently and Wifi tethering doesn't work properly for me... Have either of you done tethering?

I have never tried to tether using 4g. I'm happy tethering 3g.

thank you! I'm going to try this out... I prefer CM but tethering is of #1 importance to me

The built in tethering works best for me. It's awesome.

Kernel needed for Wired Tether for Root Users

To use the Wired Tether for Root you need to have a kernel that supports CONFIG_NETFILTER/CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and/or RNDIS, right? Anyways, I have found a lot of ways to patch kernels, but they are for the G1.
Are there any EVO kernels that support this? Or any better ways to use a wired tether? I am aware of PDA net and others like that, but I'm trying to use this on my xbox. I was using Wireless Tether, but I can't get more than 1mb down.
Any good suggestions for tethering to an xbox?
Thanks.
What's going to kill you is latency... other than that I don't have a clue if or how you can do this. Never tried since I get bad reception in my house.

I only use it for Netflix right now. So latency isn't a big deal. I would rather have higher download rates.

Yeah it looks like it supports Net Filter for wifi tether, right? Have you used this before or do you know it works? I'll try it out, but just curious.

Just use PDA net. It does the exact same thing and there is no special kernel needed.

[Q] Evo wont tether :(

well i press on it and it just says it started but then it says error show log. it just shows that it failed. please help
What app are you using to tether?
Also.. what version of tether are you using? I had best luck with 2.05 if you can find it.
Honestly, wireless tether has been spazzmodic lately; I suggest using the built in hotspot...works just as nice.
the wireless tether app, and when i press it , it just says error. help :/

Yep still on MIUI. I average about 1.5Mbps down. No 4G but my 3G speeds are so good that I could care less about 4G. Also, MIUI has built in tethering that works splendidly.
If you can try another rom such as miui for instance like others have stated, you'll find you have better luck with tethering using the built in hotspot. I struggled with wireless tether as well but that 2.05 rc1 version i think it was worked good for me. some more info on your part like what rom, version of tether etc your using would help
downloading miui as we speak hehe

[Q] Ultimate droid vs CM7

Hey guys Im confused on which rom to go to. I would like to know which rom is better, either ultimate droid or CM7 and why?
Thanks
Never used ultimate droid, but I would still recommend CM7. Its stable, fast, clean, lots of mods, themes, ect. Also, everything works. I've never had a problem on it, gps included.

Great thanks, I have a few questions about the cm7...how can i access wifi tether? Also can you explain what wimax is ive been trying to find out.
Thanks teh roxxorz you always help me out I appreciate it.
WImax is 4g. Tether is built in here: Menu>Settings>Wireless and Networks>Tethering no need for the wireless tether app. Although I think the Barnacle Tether app works.
CM7 has always been good to me too. Favorite ROM.

No problem man, and my pleasure to help.
Wifi tether, you can access the native hotspot from under wifi settings under hotspot and tethering; you can configure it as you wish, also can be added to your notification power widget.
WiMax = 4G, that's just the technical name for it, as its "wimax" technology. So if you hear wimax, they're talking about 4G. Also if you hear wimax rsa keys, those are your devices person 4G keys, which if lost, you've lost your 4G, permanently. Verizon's LTE, is 4G, but under a different LTE technology that is expanding.
Does that help?

As said, the wireless tether app WON'T work on CM7...so you'd have to use the native app. Barnacle tether does work, but again, same as the native.
Wireless tether will only work on sense roms, if you really needed to tether 4G speeds.

Im happy to hear that I can use the hotspot. I know when I flash cm7 im gona have a lot more questions. You mind if I pm you with questions teh roxxorz?
No one can tell you what the best is. I used to swear by Ava's rom, then MIUI, now CM7, but I want to go back to MIUI I think. It is all a matter of preference...and that can change daily

Download ROM Manager, or open it of you already have it. Scroll down and click fix permissions. Usually helps with fc.

Or forget both and flash myn's warm 2.2 rls5 with launcher pro, in my opinion it has manyof the benefits of cm7 but you stay with sense (if you like sense, if not then cm7)

4G Tethering on AOKP?

Since the AOKP rom has the new kernel incorporated into it i decided to flash it
i was previously on Calkulin's rom 1.6 (GB) with the sprint hotspot hack and i was wondering if there is some type of hotspot hack on aokp or something like it
I've tried to get wifi tether and foxfi to work....but they dont like me

Wow, i'm sorry. (smh @ myself) I just switched to M'ICS and Foxfi doesn't work for me either. it worked for my on GB. I have the Sprint HotSpot and that works. I know you don't have it but have you searched in the devolopment section? I believe there was a thread on 3g/4g hotspot hack. I've never used wifi teather. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
Edit: the hotspot hack is only for FF18 stock.

Foxfi or wireless tether from google. I am not sure what your settings may be but I ran both of them flawlessly. Do not use a password and see what happens

I think this is the 5th time I've posted this in a week. On ics use wifi tether for root users from market. Set your device in the app to galaxy nexus cdma to make it work.
worked for me!

Yes. I just upgraded to FF18. Foxfi did not work but wifi tether did. Although it did not work set to galaxy nexus but does work when set to auto.
Go figure? Thanks for the tip!
So I thought I would report that I got Wifi Tether for Root Users to work on AOKP M6 by setting the device profile to galaxy nexus.
Also, I've found that using the EL29 modem gives the fastest speeds. I was testing 250-300 kbps down with FF18, I get 1200+ kbps on EL29.
You know there's a profile for our device...

Can someone please help? I was running wifi tether for root users for months but I have been having issues connecting my kindle for the past 3 or 4 days. I recently flashed a new ROM, wicked jb v5 but even after that it was still working flawlessly. I updated my wicked jb to v6 ROM today but it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me because the tethering is so necessary for me as I'm sure it is for a lot of other t-mobile rooted customers.
