[Q] What would be the difference between a rooted sprint stock rom/custom sprint rom

I just got my Htc Evo 2 hours ago and thinking about installing the Sprint's lover custom rom which is said to be the same as sprint's stock rom. So what would be the difference when I root this sprint stock rom using unrevoked3. Couldn't I still install wifi tether and other apps that require you to be rooted.....
Note: I'm' on 3.26 firmware

i have never heard of sprint loves custom rom. you are correct that with the the rooted stock rom you can install the rooted apps such as wireless tether and get them to work.
The normal benefit of a custom rom can very but it is usually tweaked by the developer to add better performance and battery life then a standard stock rom. Some of these roms have trade offs (ie CM6 you get the best performance but cant use 4g, hdmi) some dont really have much of a trade off (ie fresh Myn's warm 2.2, EVIO) and are just tweaked version of the stock rom that normally give you better performance and battery. (custom roms can be slightly more unstable then the stock rom however most of them are not enough to effect your daily use of the phone)

I rooted with Unrevoked 3.21 and have yet to install a ROM. The only one I really want to try in Cyanongen but until he gets 4G working its not worth it. We're paying $10 a month for it aren't we? I would just stick with stock

[Solved] Temp root stock rom tether

I temp rooted with visionary v14 and downloaded both barnacle wifi tether and wireless tether and tried both and neither were able to connect to my ubuntu laptop. Both apps said they were broadcasting and has superuser permissions but my laptop couldn't get internet connection.
I assume this has something to do with the stock rom/kernal, but i'd like to know if I can wirelessly tether without getting perm root and flashing a custom rom (don't have the courage to attempt it yet)

Isnt there a stock wifi tether that you dont even need temp root to use?

Flashing a ROM is noob friendly and has great benefits! But that is the only way i know of wifi tethering without your system blocking it. ROMS come stock with a wifi tether setting that works everytime.

I know flashing roms are easy (I'm coming from the g1), but I don't have perm root yet, and id rather not mess with gfree until I have no other option because there are more steps to mess up.
But I guess I'll have to muster up the courage to perm root and flash cm7 or some sense rom.
P.S. does cm7 have fm radio support?

he should be able to tether with temp root as long as the temp root was actually successful... doesn't really have anything to do with custom roms.

yes, CM7 has the fm radio app.
check this thread out. and this one.
for the record, I was able to tether wirelessly on the stock froyo rom (granted, I was permarooted with gfree/rage, but again I don't think this should matter... if you're temp rooted, it should work unless something has changed in the past few months) with the wireless tether app. now I just use the built-in Cyanogen tethering solution.

Thanks guys, I'll try the newer wireless tether app and if that doesn't work I'll try gfree perm rooting.

It turns out all I had to do was get a new version of Wireless Tether to get it to work. I was using the old 2.0.2 version from my G1, so I updated to the 2.0.7 version.

[Q] Is it possible to insert netfilter into the stock kernel?

So, I have been wanting to use Wireless Tether for Root Users, however, I don't want to use zedomax's kernel. I would like to use the stock pulled kernel that is available for our device, not the one the supposed "bad" one that samsung has released.
Is this possible? I feel like that it isn't, but seeing as how the cwm+stock kernel was released, I am wondering if I could somehow insert the iptables/netfilter into the kernel to use Wireless Tether for Root users or any other application.
Or, if there is already a workaround/it is already possible to use Wireless Tether for Root, how can I do it? I didn't see a lot of information when googling around for any ways to get it to work.

This?

That works on deodexed roms only, not the stock rom (which I have). I could switch to the other, however, I would prefer to stick with the current rom that I have if I could, obviously a Nandroid backup would be able to flash me back if I had any problem.

[Q] Is rooting enough to get WiFi Tether to work?

I like the current version of touchwiz.. so I don't mind staying with it
I do however want WiFi Tether... can I get it to work on Stock Rooted or do I need a different Rom for it? If I do I haven't been here in a couple of month and Im really don't know what's the most stable Roms and which ones look similar to Touchwiz and that support WiFi Tether
Can someone please help??
Also.. any easy way to root using a MAC?? I remember witht he EPIC 4G to be a nightmare rooting a device using a MAC computer

I don't know about using macs, but you will need to root then flash a .zip in recovery to get tethering working. A lot of custom roms will have that feature already enabled.
If you're looking for TouchWiz roms, just look for ones over 1gb
The smaller ones won't be tw.

you may need busybox installed. But that should be must have if rooted anyway.
beyond that, it's just trial and error with the WiFi Tether settings. I suggest using Reload Driver 2.

I recently purchased a new GN2 and had to re root. I enjoy stock Touchwiz so i tried this exact thing.
Rooted using the guide at galaxynote2root.com
Installed the Trev-E wifi tether app and it works fine.
Since I'm stock with no potential Sprint spyware removed I also installed Hotspot Shield VPN and run that prior to tethering (may not really make a difference)

Download the MC2 rooted nodata, flash through Heimdall and then get the Trev-E Wifi Tether app.
Has everything you need.

Installed 4.1.2 ROM over Android 4.3 rooted stock ROM.

To all,
I had some problems with tethering two weeks ago. I usually don't really care about upgrade but because of connectivity issue. I went ahead and updated my SGH-T999 to Android v4.3.
I was on Android 4.1.2 rooted. In any case, tethering is now inoperable. VPN connection speedtest is horrendous. I have it rooted using root66 method. I have been using TrevE Mod Wifi Tether App before but it's now longer working. I also tried purchase "Wifi Tether Router" and it was useless.
My Warranty Bit is now 1 but I don't really care about the warranty. I owned the phone almost 2 years now and didn't buy any insurance so insurance is irrelevant.
What I really really need help on is either to be able to tether again or revert it back to 4.1.2. From reading some of the threads, it said that once you go to 4.3 you can't Odin any previous releases. But it seemed you can flash previous release ROM.
Here are the some questions:
1. Is there any way that I can fix tethering with 4.3? With or without VPN connection.
2. Is there any way, I can flash 4.1.2 ROM on to my phone and would this allow me to tether again?
Thank you for all your help!!!

Please do not try to downgrade to 4.3. The upgrade is one way. If you tried to downgrade, you will get a expensive paperweight.
As to the tether, I can't say for a fact. I do believe rooting would help. I have never used Tether, let alone on 4.3. I do know, there are several network issues with 4.3

Thank for the advise, Persues71. A working phone is definitely better than a dead one.

Since you don't care for Warranty, would you consider a custom Rom ? Practically most of the AOSP roms have built in Tether. Working tether at that.

Thanks, I am looking into flashing DocHoliday77's StockMod ROM. I will need to review the thread carefully before proceed cuz I sure don't want to brick it.

FWIW, he has included a special zip for enabling native Tether.
