Same here. I wonder if it's to do with superuser access. Voodoo OTA reports, after running post-update, that I do have SU. But in wifi tether, the pop-up for the app having been granted access never appears.

If you have 15 toggles mod part of the ROM on your phone, just toggle the [Mobile Data] on the pull down.

[Q] What is Latest Official ICS ROM ??

From reading the Development section, I was wondering is FI27 the LATEST Official ICS ROM?? Also does this rom work well if I have an Epic Touch flashed to METROPCS?

FI27 is current and will likely be the final official ICS build. It will work but you may need to change your MMSC URL back after flashing. (Assuming it doesn't have separate APN information)

[Q] Another 'help a friend' thread

Hello all, I hope I won't get too much flak for creating this thread but I'm hoping to save some time and effort if some of you are willing to help me out here.
My buddy had asked me recently if I could help him use his phone as a hotspot when he goes on vacation, and I suggested that he install a custom rom to get that function since for some reason a Sprint rep told him he couldn't do it (not sure on the whole story with that...).
Anyway, I'm not really a newbie on rooting/flashing as I have an older Galaxy S1 device that I constantly work on, but on the other hand that's about the only device I have experience with.
My questions are:
1) Is rooting/installing a custom rom the best way for him to use his phone as a hotspot? It seems to be built into every rom that I've had on my device.
2) What are the most popular (and stable) roms available for this device? I'm asking because I won't see him enough to flash updates and he's not really the type to do that.
3) Are there any serious risks to rooting/flashing this device? I'm spoiled with my older Galaxy S1 phone that has no problem going from rom to rom like it was it's job. He'll probably be upgrading soon, but I still don't want to break it.
Thanks for any input. Oh and I don't know if this matters, but I'm almost positive he's on stock ICS right now.

1. The hotspot app won't work on stock because he needs the plan with sprint to use it. There are 3rd party apps out there that can use your phone as a hotspot. Most roms have the wifi hotspot check disabled so you can use the app the rom came with. Be warned if sprint catches you tethering too much data they could cut you off.
2. Maybe look into the blu kuban rom. It's very stable, awesome battery life, and looks awesome. It also has a built in updater in case there is an update.
3. If you read the instructions you should be fine. There's really no downside besides the emmc brick bug which can render your phone useless but most (if not all) kernels have this patched. Also remember that this phone has the recovery image packed with the kernel.
Hope this helps.

If you install stock/rooted gb27 jb you can use the EmperorX 4g hot spot mod.
Look up Emperor X in apps and themes, its not too complex to get working.

The blu kuban rom looks good, but I didn't see any JB roms that looked all that great (feel free to correct me) and I see that Cyanogenmod doesn't officially support this device for some reason. Are there any mostly stable 4.1 or 4.2 roms that you would recommend or is ICS the way to go?
edit: I wasn't looking in the 'original development' forum and just noticed there's a lot of good 4.2 roms that I'm used to like slim, AOKP, etc, now my question is if I wanted to flash a new rom is it the same as I do on my phone- wipe data/cache/davlik then flash rom/gapps and reboot? Is it that simple on this phone too?

If you have CWM 5 (gb or cm9) or CWM 6 (AOSP-based jellybean) you can just flash rom and gapps in recovery
If you do not have CWM 5 or 6 (anything touchwiz ICS+), you should use Mobile Odin or (less conveniently) PC Odin to flash the EL26+cwm kernel, then boot to recovery by holding vol+ and power. You can flash anything in EL26 recovery without incident

[Q] no 4g with custom roms

so the problem is pretty self explanatory if you read the title. I keep losing my 4g when i switch to a custom rom. Specifically a custom 4.2.2 rom like
slimrom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277770
or
paranoidandroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118370
both of them say that they support 4g but when i go and install them i lose my 4g and my 3g is spotty sometimes.
I live in an area with a strong 4g signal and used to drive to and from work with 4g on all the time. Now i have 3g and it goes out sometimes.
So than i am left having to reinstall stock with
[ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
with the root.zip so i can have superuser and than install TWRP with goomanager so i can get my custom recovery back.
If i dont restore my phone back to stock with all that comes in that custom zip i wont get my 4g back even if i clear out slimroms and just install a stock 4.1.2 rom.
so what am i doing wrong?!
It would also be a great bonus to me if someone can also explain to me why i dont get MMS in any of the 4.2.2 roms as well.
What i have tried so far...
1. I have tried using "pimp my rom" to get to the hidden menu and that didnt work
2. i have my msl and tried to mess about with ##3282# using this little tutorial and it didnt work
4G LTE Connection Fix For Sprint Phones (...worked for me at least..........)
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...ection-fix-sprint-phones-worked-me-least.html
3. I have reinstalled just a plain stock rom (not listed above) after backing up a custom 4.2.2 rom with nandroid and resetting the network mode back to lte/cdma from automatic and than restored the 4.2.2 rom. That didnt work
I would like a SOLID, DEFINITIVE, CONCRETE answer on what is going wrong and how to fix this problem please.

Nice rant. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42978776
A little reading goes a long way. In case clicking is too much effort I'll summarize. A recent change to CM 10.1, the base for all of our 4.2.2 Roms, broke 4g. they are looking into it. You can locate a nightly before 5/28 or stick with TW if it is a deal breaker. Have a nice day

even though your answer is packed with sarcasm ill still accept it. thx for your help. I dont read that thread as i have no interest in nightlies because i want a daily driver. I didnt know that they use nightlies to make the custom roms. i thought it was just stable CM10.1 only. Anyways thx again.
