You've got some helpful responces, also consider that you may have a bad download of the rom. At least verify the file size, or download a new copy to be sure.

[Q] Why doesn't my Wifi Tether app work?

So the first rom I put on my phone after i rooted it the really hard way with the cmd prompt was the teamfenix1.7 rom. With that rom my wifi tether app worked but now that I have CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA it doesn't work...neither does my wifi. How do I fix it? Is it fixable? Barnacle Wifi doesn't work either!! Please help me!

Did you wipe when switching roms? Have you tried wiping and reflashing?

You flashed the ota kernel and it doesn't have tether support..
Wipe reflash the base rom and No OTA

Well miguel I thought any expert dev/modder such as yourself or rayray or whatever y'all call yourselfs could easily answer what I consider to be an easy quick fix. Yes I have wiped and reflashed about 4 different froyo roms and anytime I use the wifi tether app, my phone freezes and then reboots...but only with that app. Oh and I saw something about barnacle wifi and tried that...but my laptop doesn't pick up the signal. Would flashing the latest radio do anything? Hey rayray what do you mean by the base rom?

Which version are you using? 2.0.2 or 2.0.5 pre 13?
I'm actually using 1.35 something like that...I found it in the rom bible. Apparently it isn't the latest version haha. Can you post a link to where the latest one is? Plz? I would greatly appreciate it!

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
The latest version of CR_MOD is 1.35something. It's the latest firmware version (official) for the slide. That's where the number comes from. If you're looking for the latest tethering app I'll post it. As far as the radio, it's in my signiture and CR_MOD has it set to flash when you load the rom.

Questions on bonsai 4.0

First and formost my phone is on stock eb13 with genocide kernel, rfs, and rooted with oneclickroot v2.5.5 and am still really new to all of this so please help me out.
First I was wondering if I can flash bonsai right away or if I need the new clockwork 3.x with ext4?
Second I was wondering if anyone on this rom is having any of the same battery charging problems as those caused by the new syndicaterom with twilight kernel on ext4?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Pretty sure Bonsai scans your phone and formats it for EXT4 if it isn't already. It backs up your data and restores it, too. Just do a complete backup then flash it. If it is a no go, just restore.

Mine charges fine while off.
Anyone using Sprint Navigator? Please check how many satellites it finds under Share & More/Diagnostics. I have 2 epics, 1 on Bonsai and 1 with just stock and Genocide, and both report 1 satellite and 10% GPS. GPSTest reports 9 Satellites and Google Nav works fine (hate the voice and graphics).
Thanks.

Live Wallpaper
I installed the missing live wallpaper files to the system/app folder on the phone but I cant get them to show up. I read something about changing the permission of the files, but have no idea how to do it.
Help!
Love the Rom so far!

Finally found it. Used Ghost Commander to change the permissions. Live Wallpaper is back but some seem to be missing from the stock selection that came with the phone. No worries.
Okay I finally pulled everything off and now have bonsai4all on my phone but for some reason I can't connect to wifi any more? It does come up, and I did save the ip address, but now, for some odd reason, it won't connect to it... help?

Go into settings, manage applications, find the app and clear data and cache. That worked for me on wifi tether.

1) Was it working before you rooted?
2) Are you referring to the native hdmi capabilities, or hdmi mirroring (HDMwIn from teamwin)? Or both?
3) Are you positive that you're cable is good, and that the port on your Evo is clean and dust free? (i'd hope it is, since you just got it)
If you're using one of the full hdmi apps, are you on the modified kernel? Did you try changing resolutions?
What ROM are you using anyways? Are you sure hdmi is supported with the ROM you're using?
I am running kings unleashed rl2. Yes it was working before root.cable is fine tried on friends evo worked perfect

Hmm, I'm really not sure. I've never had that happen, my hdmi has always worked on any sense ROM. I suppose that if I was having that problem, I would try wiping cache, davlik cache, and flashing a different kernel. If that still failed, I would try a complete wipe and reflash of the rom. I'm just guessing with those things, just basic stuff to try first, if you haven't already. I've never noticed (or don't remember) anyone having this issue before, so I don't know what else to suggest, other than wiping, trying a different kernel, reflashing of the rom, or a different rom. I was r2 a week ago or so, and hdmi was working fine for me, but I don't recall which kernel I was on.
Did u reboot try reflashing the stock rooted rom and test

Just flash one of the HDMI kernels and download the free app from the market. Also make sure your HDMI port on your phone is clean.

Data on flashed epic to cricket...

I randomly lost my data on my flashed epic on cricket..and my phone keeps popping up the hands free activation...plus when connected to wifi it constantly shuts off then reconnects....but my device still says 3g on it but no data...help please?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Did you flash something on top of that custom rom that was tailored for cricket? Did you back to up your rom before this? Sounds like you flashed over your custom rom for cricket. If you backed it is up, do a nand restore.

I didnt flash any roms or anything. And i just restored a backup right after the phone was flashed to cricket and it says 3g but i still have no data

As far as I know, unless they installed a custom rom, you never had 3G working with cricket in the first place.

Help!!

Noob here. I'm running synergyrom for the multiscreen function but it keeps dropping calls and I can't send text messages. I have rebooted, taken the battery out and all and it works for a sec till 4g lte kicks in then it stops working. I am new and my buddy rooted this for me. Any help would be great.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
hm maybe it's the rom? I would head over to the synergy thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113436 and ask over there maybe others have had the same or similar problems.
I would bet money that your imei was erased. Go to settings , about device , status. Is your imei 00000000 or does it have numbers.

While a great VZW rom it still has some bugs to work out for us GSM folk. I suggest you make a nandroid backup in your recovery and install something like CSROM, i747z, or maybe darthstalker. Great first time custom rom's that are easy to install and do. CSROM even has a aroma installer and its practically fool proof.
Have you flashed a rom before ? If not feel free to PM and I can help you out some

You or your buddy need to fix that IMEI before your phone can do anything. There is a sticky in the Development section on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777915
I suggest you go to the above thread. Try the second link and read the part for corrupted imei with out a back up. There is a tool that let's you type in your imei number ( which is under your battery ) and it will create the nv file and follow the instructions on how to push it to your phone.
Since your already on synergy ROM you must already have a custom recovery installed. Once you get your imei restored get a different ROM. Synergy ROM has corrupted a lot of imei's this week.
