Working WiFi tether with any (I hope) ICS build.

I looked though forum and couldn't find a thread addressing this issue and it looks like the question still has not been answered.
If this is a bump, mod please delete it.
After trying many WiFi tether apps and different settings I found that the latest wifi tether app works for our phones running ICS builds.
You can download it from website:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Or from mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x32j182mc3n0g7n
After you download and install this app go to app settings-> change device profile-> and choose "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) as your device.
Now you can start the app and connect your pc or any other device to it.
I'm posting this using tethering so it does work.
Currently I'm running Stock rooted deodexed FB21 rom by Calkulin.
As usual you can change the network name and add encryption.
Once again. If this has been addressed mod please delete this thread.

Wow, I never thought about changing the profile to a galaxy nexus lol. Brilliant! You should make a post in the general section too, seeing how that should get a lot more traffic!

May be I should ask a mod to move this thread into general section.
I don't want to creat same thread twice.
We have too many threads as is and sometime it's very hard to find info you need.
And about galaxy nexus choice.
I couldn't make it work with any other choices and then I thought since there is no ICS for our phone mabe that's the problem and did try nexus.
It worked like a charm. and it works when I'm on 4G as well.
Download speed pretty good too.

I was going to say WifiTether works on ICS on my NS4G. Nice work around!

I see 15 downloads on my mediafire and I guess there will be more from original website and no feedback at all.
Please let me know if this works for all ICS builds or it just worked on FB21 i'm currently on.

Wow what incredible timing. I've been trying to tether to my PS Vita all morning with no luck, but this worked! Thanks for the info!
I'm currently running DARKSTAR ROM on FB21.

Thanks so much. I need tether for work! I can finally switch to ICS!
Yay!

That's my question. Every time I try and change it to adhoc it gives me errors.

There should be new versions of this app available on play store.
Did you try them?
If yes than I'm out of ideas.
Till now it worked with every rooted ICS OS.

It worked! It never occurred to me that it should be available on google play. t worked like a breeze, I only selected Generic ICS.
Again, thanks a lot for the tip

Sorry if this comes off stupid but what is the advantage of this over the hot spot hack that was created for ICS?

Hotspot hack was for deodexed roms for long time.
This was an alternative for those who wants to run odexed rom.
Now you have hack for both odexed and deodexed rom and this app
is kinda obsolete.
Think of this as a possible alternative.

Thank you for your reply. I have noticed that I sometimes have to reinstall the hotspot after updating one of your newer, ever more awesome kernels but it is still working. I mostly run odex or convert deodex to odex on my roms.

[Q] WiFi JB?????

I believed I've lightly touched on the question, and being in and around this forum the last year my android knowledge is increasing( at a turtles pace but increasing) everyday. My thing is I just came back to samsung with the siii two weeks ago so I'm new again it seems like to the functions and what not. What I' curious to know is are JB roms able to use the wifi tether? If so which ones? I go into android development and search the forum and so many come up I'm confused as to which does which. I'm under the understanding that only ICS roms can wifi tether. I'm on stock rooted so as of now I'm pretty good on the wifi tether but I'm so eager to flash another rom so again I search in the android development forum here for ICS ROMs and I get alot of them that have ICS and JB in the title so I'm like SUPER confused as to which ones will work with the wifi tether? My job kinda prevents me from fully reading thru all the OPs to find out which ones will work with wifi tether, so far the only roms I've found with just ICS in the title are a criskelo (sorry if I mispelled) and a GOODNESS ROM. I dl the goodness ROM but when I try to copy to my sd card I get an error that the device not recognized or something which is obsurd because I drag and drop music to my phone almost daily smh. Well anyway not to deviate off subject can anybody help a "Playa" out?

You have to use a modified version of WiFi tether and it works on all ROMs.

If you're looking for the note 2 app, you might have better luck asking the question in note 2 forum. The app that's been posted here has worked well for the SG3....not sure if it'll perform the same on the Note 2

Port paranoidkang droid to tmobile

I am wondering how the policy works with porting an at&t ROM to T-Mobile as I am currently running this ROM which is a combo of AOpk and Pa but its by far the smoothest rom I have flashed and much more options than PA plus the video volume is loud as hell so since I am new to the xda community I want to know what are the rules of porting this bad a$$ ROM so that all T-Mobile users can use this as a dd do I need permission from thebz1 or I could just post it for you guys I have it all ready but don't want to anything against the policy please fill me in guys
BTW the link to the ROM is below

My ParanoidKang Android Tmo S3

What did the original dev say? That is probably the most important thing.

is it not flashable to our phone? I've used some at&t roms on my t999 with no issues that weren't already expected. (WiFi calling and other T-Mobile things)

thebz1 was working on tmo Pa THREAD a couple month ago until he decided that he would only take care of at&t only that is why OG came in and started getting PA again but after flashing PA and PK i could tell you that PK is much more stable than PA, its much much smoother, the video volume is really loud, you ger rom control and paranoid android settings together in one so much more customization. i guess since it is an open source i feel that i should port it over , i was respectful by asking him so he doesn't own PK anyhow im going to be working on this over the weekend

Obviously both of you haven't tried the AT&T ROM on a T999 because it won't even flash in recovery, much less boot up. I know this because I've tried it in multiple stages of development. He was asking about porting another persons work, and XDA's policy. Yes, most AT&T ROMS work on t-mo too (as long as it doesn't contain AT&T modem), but lets not be redundant & state what most people in this forum already know. Thanks for the port bro. It's running like butter!

I'm sorry, maybe I've missed something...If I have, forgive me,
But, the original Dev did not give you permission to port his work over. Have you considered that he may have a reason for it? Perhaps he plans to support multiple devices with it, like many other devs do with their Roms.
That is just a guess, but if something like that were the case, depending on how popular the dev is, and how P.O.'d he gets, you could be making a lot of enemies on here....
Something like this, if you want it that bad, go ahead and port it. But do it for yourself, do not release it.
If you were planning on releasing it regardless of his answer, then you should never have asked.
Sorry man, just trying to help.....

[Q] Cyanogenmod question

I have been looking for a couple of weeks now but can't find an answer. I was wondering in cyanogenmod does it have wifi calling and wifi direct like the stock rom for tmobile? I use these two features extensively and have grown dissatisfied with the stock rom but don't want to flash to a custom rom if only the stock rom contains these features. Can someone who has flashed over help me out?
Cheers!

Ever since tmo started WiFi calling I've been flashing CyanogenMod since cm7 and never once had I ever had WiFi calling work. I don't think it's compatible so you'll probably never have that option with cm

Someone needs to discover Dandroid.

Just download Google Voice and MO+ for GV. Or another 3rd party app like TextMe.

And because no ones pointed it out yet, it is dependent on the touchwiz framework and cannot be on cm, or aosp, or aokp...
Not sure how you didn't find this. It gets asked all the time.
Take aerowinders advice.

Sprint LG G2 no love?

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?

I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).

Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.

Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.

I ain't skeeerid

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD

Hey ite only been out 4 a week man

So far I've rooted, download rom, installed twrp, tried flashing it but it booted stuck on carbon logo. It may be because I don't have the gapps file.
Any one with a link to 4.3.1 gapps?
