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!

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.

I was so excited to upgrade to JB didn't even think about this until I tried using it today. I was about to make a thread until common sense kicked in. Glad I searched before I posted or I would have been burned at the stake.
:silly:
It works on PA rom, not on leaked Touchwiz. I have nandroids of both, if need tethering, restore PA, it takes few minutes only.
CyanogenMod 10 and AOKP have it built right in. Works flawlessly.
As far as Touchwiz roms, though, nothing is working yet.
Is it a restriction in Jellybean that prevents third party wifi tether apps from working which the Android developers did, or is it just a compatibility issue which will be fixed in future updates of Jellybean or the tether app?
As mentioned in last 2 posts, it does work on some JB roms, so it's not a JB limitation.

Delete all of the tether apps you've installed, wipe Dalvik cache, and use the native tethering app. blue tooth or usb are the only options

wifi tether is not working, however you can use the native tether via bluetooth or usb. i would have posted in the jellyblazed thread but my status does not allow me to post in development forums.

Ya I'm sure it works on Verizon just fine. Youre in the sprint forum. Sprints hotspot is setup differently which is why verizons has a hack and sprints doesnt. I could flash a stock verizon rom to my sprint phone and tethering will work.Sprint ****d our hotspot capabilities with the update. I will say tho and it must be some random fluke that while running a leak, LIH I believe, the hotspot worked once or twice when I tried it.

Same Here, will be very glad when we get this solved.
Detailed Problem Description
I have searched and read quite a bit on this issue and do not have a clear understanding of what is actually the core issue here. Best I can tell, Sprint changed the interface/API to something with JB that prevents 3rd party tething. If that is accurate, not sure what that is specifically. If that is the case, it doesn't explain why it supposed works on some JB ROMs. Similarly, if it works in ICS and not JB, one would think that the API would not be the issue.
Several have implied that the native CM10 tether works since it is based on AOSP; however, mine will present as an AP and allow clients to connect but the data just doesn't pipe through. On that note, I have seen reports that non-TW ROMs work.
I am clearly not the expert on this matter but would find it useful is someone that does have real insight could clear the rumor air on what is and isn't really the issue.
Works!
This is an old thread, but if you're here, don't despair. Works like a charm for me (stock, rooted sprint s3) following the links in qbking77's video: Free Wifi Tether/Hotspot for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Jelly Bean
https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_vendor_cm/commit/95b761417cdc4532c3d5d08a2736e7ec5ffbbb3c
Maybe we will get some CM love soon?
hopefully! the ROM works great as is. just no service. so i think a few modifications and we could easily have it working for CDMA users?

there are apps that some prefer over spen that do essentially the same thing. hover support they have already in the note 10.1

Wifi Tether works AOSP, all third party tether apps are broken with JB
I can't speak for all but wifi tether did work for me on 3g only (not wimax) for 4.1.2 on the e4gt.
What benefit would I see over a ROM like, for instance, the "Why Not ROM" which has things like pen support and multiview and S voice, All share, Samsung wifi transfer, etc, and ALSO removes all the bloatware. The only thing I don't use is Touchwiz (I use Nova instead) on the Samsung ROM. I say this also considering that at the point where we are on a quad core 1.6 ghz ROM... "speed" isn't really an issue.
What am I missing from the Samsung ROM that I would gain with an AOSP ROM, without losing the things I mentioned above and more?
What's the gain here?

Yes. I have the Epic 4G also with 4.1 on it *great phone*, and once they stopped supporting at 2.3...I moved on past a Samsung ROM (they still don't have the camera right though [a bit choppy] ).
But in this case, the phone is so advanced and specific, the only thing I see missing here is wireless tether, which I guess will be solved eventually.
For now, the loss of all of these other things is not worth a jump to an AOSP ROM for me. To each their own though.

I also have a Epic that I really enjoyed once I had the CM9/10 rom on it, and I am keeping it around as a spare / wifi voip burner phone. I guess for me tethering is mission critical since I live in an area that does not have any high speed internet option (no cable/DSL, nothing), and I rely on my phone for access at my house. So the first ROM that is stable and has tethering will get my donation.
I know they've ported multiview to the s3 and i know samsung even released an update to some models of the s3 with multiview. Is there a reliable version available for the att galaxy s3? I've searched and i see a couple of roms with it available but i'm not too sure if they're something for a daily rom.
I'm hoping to find something that is completely stock with multiview.
Thanks
stock rom(non-root) US Models of S3 will not get multi-views feature.
they said because we're on duo core if i remember correctly
although if you root your phone, there are a few roms that have multi-views like synergy,
edit: there're also MOD to add multi-views for your phone too, if you don't like those multi-views roms

i've heard good things about the Synergy ROM. read up on that one. there are 2 things that are still pretty new to the S3 scene. one is 4.2 and the other is mulitview, so take that into consideration as you explore/test different ROMs. cheers

This is what the original poster was asking about. I want to know about the actual method of doing this on a rooted device with a stock ROM.
Synergy ADM galaxy mod are the two for at&t but are still in their infancy right now and not ready as a daily driver ROM IMO.
You can't just add multiview to a ROM though. You can add flashbar but that's about it. 4.1.2 has not come to the north american gsiii.
If you try synergy be sure to make a back up and read the thread well.

As the title asks, I would like to know this!?. Seems all the 4.2.2 & 4.3.x I've tried are iffy at best! Using BeanStalk atm which isn't perfect but works better at WiFi tethering than any other JB ROM I've tried flashing so far!!!
I await your responses!..
I use SJB 7 by harsh586 and wifi tethering works for me.
Here is my answer:

If JB is not up to your standard, I suggest you switch to ICS or GB.

I have been doing that for the last six months and none of these ROMs can hold a WiFi tether signal for very long, they all seem to need to be looked after every few minutes by turning the function off then on or rebooting!..

There's your solution - There is no such ROM at the moment. Life's not perfect, deal with it. You have to give up some features to get other features.
There isn't any best rom actually as most roms are different and made for different kind of users. Some users want a feature packed rom, some want a clean and minimalistic one and some just want a rom that works.
To select the best rom you have to try some different ones, and find one that you like, I would suggest you to start with CM10.1 or CM10.2 by Mike and if you don't like it you can try some others.
Hope that my answers helped you and hope that you find a rom which you might like!
I'd recommend starting from the very beginning. Flash stock ICS .587, if WiFi Tether doesn't work properly there.. then you might have a bigger problem there bro.

Arc got bricked but revived it somehow and how, I don't know however the baseband got corrupted or something which now cannot accept firmware updates via flashtool, so I'm stuck on 8x55A-AAABOAZM-203028D-64 baseband version!..
Also some ROMs will only work without gapps flashed, very few ROMs will work properly with gapps flashed, Slim Bean android 4.2.2 seems to work but terrible with WiFi tether though!..
When I flash with a particular ROM a dozen times to get it to work then to find out the WiFi tether is crap or not working, it can get very very tiresome!..
I might just have to go back to GB and lose out on the JB drop down menu features I've come to enjoy using... :'(
