Which rom do you guys prefer?
I prefer the TeamFenix 1.7.1 because of the working Wi-Fi tether, don't know about whether or the Bluetooth is working yet because I don't use it. and I haven't had any force closes, battery life is pretty decent considering how much time I spend using the internet on it
They're both the same to me. Both have working bluetooth but no bluetooth audio which is why I am not using them. Anyone know any key differences in the roms?

TeamFenix 1.7.1 uses the "android-wifi-tether, Wireless Tether for Root Users" from www.code.google.com and it works right out the gate without having to install anything to your computer or modify any APNs. just start app, tap the start button, allow Super User permissions and you are up and running.
It stopped working this morning, it created the network, I could connect my laptop to it, but it wouldn't go on the internet, did some things I saw on AndroidForums, and it still doesn't work. It says "Wireless Tether running with errors, check log.."
Picture of the log in attachment.
HTC Incredible running CM6 with Koush's alternate kernel.
I really need some tethering, PDANet works, but it's terrible on top of terrible mixed with some awful and a little bit of deplorable.
Could this have to do with my kernel? I was running KingXKlick #4 and it was MURDERING my battery, so I switched back to the Koush one, which also made my WiFi stop working, would a kernel change fix this?
Yes kernels have a direct effect on your wifi and tether usage.
If you're looking for speed KingKernels do well, but if you want battery life then I recommend:
Adrynalyne's experimental undervolt (SENSE/AOSP):
http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
Hydra's stock speed undervolt (SENSE ONLY):
http://www.hydrakernel.net/stock_speed_undervolted_kernels.htm
Otherwise using stock kernel or adrynalyne's custom virtuous kernel (works on all sense roms) is great too. Wireless tether has worked for me with all these. Don't think I've ever used a koush sense-based kernel...
As always do a nandroid before flashing etc etc
Would a wipe/reflash cure the WiFi problems I'm having? Or is it deeper than that?

I had this problem happen to me yesterday. I run ruby1.1.1. I did the following, and it works great now.

Might be a silly question, but are you using the Wireless Tether from the marketplace? If so I'd suggest trying the latest version from the developer's code http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=wireless+tether
Also, yes the kernel will affect wifi although most of them should be fully enabled with the latest version of Wireless Tether.
Hey guys! I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus and I'm concerned with the Wifi Tethering app. I don't know if it's related to the Galaxy Nexus itself, or if its my network here where I live but I'm just seeing if anyone else is having any issues? I'm currently running 4.1.1 STOCK rooted. What are you guys using as far as apps? I used to have a T-bolt with the same Wifi Tether app and it rarely ever just stopped working. It says I'm connected but it just doesn't load any pages or work at all. Is there any solutions to this? I've read that I'm supposed to use the Native app (portable hotspot) but it doesn't work since I'm not subscribed. I really actually like the stock rom and it's feel and I don't want to have to flash a custom ROM. I will, IF I have to but I prefer to stay stock and stable. Any help would be great!
Hello all, I have been trying to find a working wifi tether for my Optimus G. I have tried the Wifi tether app, and it works, but once I turn it off, I can't enable it again until I restart my phone. It also corrupts my wifi driver until I restart my phone.
I have also used the built in wifi tether mod used within cyanogenmod(and it's modded roms), and it works beautifully, but I just don't like using the roms it's built into.
I have also tried Barnacle with no luck.
So, is there any other solutions to Wifi tethering applications(Not usb or bluetooth)? Is it possible to flash or remove the wifi tether part of cyanogenmod for use with the stock(or lifeless) rom?
Anyways, thanks guys
For stock ZVB, that's a flaw we have to live with still. Nobody has fixed it yet that i know of. WiFi OR Tether per reboot.
As for cm, i don't know. So i can't help you there.

Im making another thread in the Development section since people with the Nexus S dont care to even try to help with the Nexus S 4G people..
Short and simple is there any Jellybean ROM for the NS4G that has 4G Tethering working?
Please Thank "cloud9utk" for finding this! Post #18
Code:
ok, so i have a NS4G running CM 10.1.2-crespo4G. i run the matrix kernel v25-CM and have gapps.20130812 installed.
i was able to get 4G tethering running with Wifi Tether v3.4experimental1
here are my settings:
Profile: Google Nexus S 4G
Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
"Max Client" - unchecked
"No-tether" - checked
No encryption
Default SSID on default channel (set to 01)
wifi reload 1 - unchecked
wifi reload 2 - checked
all other settings default. you can enable access control and just allow your own devices.
works in 4G just fine.
oddities: when i analyze the wifi signals, all other modes go through without errors on the log, but the wifi never shows up in the Wifi Analyzer graph. but with these settings it shows up, but at channel 06. curious, but it works.
i haven't tried to change the ssid, because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but i'm confident that won't mess it up.
cheers everyone! thanks for all the help! glad i could finally give something back!
PS: it works best when sprint isn't mucking around with their WIMAX network... also, i am on voyager mobile, not Sprint, but it is a sprint mvno. so $50/month unlimited tethering data. hmm..
In 4.1.2 most if not all rooms should be easy to tether off of with the standard wifi tether app I don't have the link handy but it's the common xda-developers one.
For 4.2.1/2 Google changed how tethering works... The only app I found that works is in the market for $. 99...It's called wifi tether router.. It eats most of the ram while running so one app like a music player or texting can be run at the same time but expect to reboot if you disable the tether and want to re-enable it... Also it bugs sometimes and has to be reinstalled... Wpa2 appears to work the best... I use it with slim bean 4.2.2 and it runs on wimax just fine. It does drain the battery at close to 1 percent per minute and beats out the charger in drain just be aware.

I am using the latest WiFi Tether I grabbed from Google and it has been working great. I have been tethering 2 laptops and my other phone on 4g and it hasn't disconnected once.

I could not get WIFI Tether to work with anything after 4.1.1 and the only way to get it to work was to go back to stock 4.1.1. What custom JB roms work with WIFI Tether?
What settings are you using with WiFi Tether? I too have not had any luck in getting it to work with a Jellybean Rom.

This is the only one that works for me currently wpa2 works fine

You were right. I was on 4.1.1 at the time and tethering 4g with no problems. I am going to try the link posted above and see if it works but WiMax is used so little now that tethering 4g might make me stay on 4.1.1 stock. I can customize the extended power menu and battery icons with Xposed mod so it may be OK if the above link doesn't work. I am trying them all on SlimROM 4.2.2 now
This worked for me...
Running stock, rooted 4.1.1 on Nexus S 4G. I've been running up against a wall trying to get tethering to work until I stumbled across this link...
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661
Of particular interest was post #197 and the link to wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk
Be sure to change the device profile to Nexus S 4G. Voila! Tethering works!
(you should uninstall any other tethering apps you may have installed.)

Do you mean this works on 4.2.2 or 4.3? I had Wifi Tether working on the last Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1 but not on anything after.

I'm on Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1, rooted and unlocked, and have not been able to get tethering to work at all until Ifound the referenced link. I don't see why you couldnt try it on 4.2 and beyond?

Yeah I've tried to get Wifi Tether working on 4.2 roms but unsuccessful so went back to stock rooted 4.1.1, as it's the only thing that would work with Wifi Tether. This thread is about trying to get tether to work on a 4.2 or 4.3 rom.

Same here. I tried at least six different 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ROMs and as soon as I activate a tether it errors out. I switched from the odexed stock 4.1.1 to OMJ's deodexed stock 4.1.1 so I can add in inverted gapps and re-odex. I don't know why data is not reconnecting once i turn on any tether app on 4.2.2 but I did get it to work twice which is driving me nuts
Well, on 4.1.1 I can tether on 4g and as soon as I posted my last post, I got the native 3g tether working on one of the newer CM builds... CM10.1.3 RC1 but only 3g as of now
Thanks for all the replies guys, I finally got internet in my house so im going to try and download a couple roms and give it a test for my self.. The only reason i wasnt doing it before was because i was terthering internet from my phone which was my main source of internet and it would have taken 2 hours just to download 1 rom
reviving this to see if anyone has gotten 4G tethering to work on at least 4.2.2

I just finished setting up my HTC One so I will go ahead and try and find a few newer 4.2.2,ROMs and try them. I already downloaded last night's CM nightly so we'll see. I mean it has worked before but I got frustrated toggling it 20 times to get it to lock.
Although I did add all of the 4.2.2 gapps to my 4.1.1 and I am fairly certain that it's all current...but what the hell, I have time today

Awesome, btw i was testing out Hellybean 4.2.2 because someone said they had tethering working in that (Seems to only be 3G Tethering tho)
But after flashing Hellybean 4.2.2, Native 3G Tethering works like a charm
After flashing gApps on top of that native 3G Tethering STOPPED working.(as in i can connect but no data gets sent to my computer)
Ive tried to replicate the problem 3 times so far and each time the same things happens so i believe i just linked the flashing of gApps to our tethering problem, at least the native tethering
